The exposition, whose purpose was to
acquaint the world with the manifold
resources of the Pacific coast, includ-
ing Alaska, Yukon territory and Brit
ish Columbia, has amply fulfilled its
mission. The total attendance has been
nearly 3,750,000, and so many visitors
came from eastern states that the rail-
roads were unable to handle them COM
fortably.
The exposition was financed by the
people of Seattle, without government
loan. An appropriation by the state.
derived from the sale of state lands in
this city, was expended for permanent
buildings, which revert to the state uni
versity, on whose campus the exposition
was held.
Expense of Grounds
The grounds were parked at a cost
of 100000, the walks and other i'm
provements being permanent More
than twenty-five buildings and all the
fountains, trees and shrubbery will be
retained by the university. The grounds
will be maintained permanently in
much tnelr present coHullloh' PIupdply
at the joint expense of the city and
state.
The exposition paid all its debts and
earned a surplus, not yet computed, for
its stockholders. No liquor was permit
ted to be sold on the grounds or within
two miles of the grounds.
The exposition was opened at noon
June 1, with exercises in which Ameri-
can and Japanese fleets, President Taft
and James ]. Hill participated, and
during it's course the fair has enter
tanned the president of the United
States and a large number of distin-
euished men of the country.
The late Governor Johnson of Mime
sofa delivered his last address here,
and Governor Hughes of New York
here made two speeches. President
Taft's ship subsidy policy and his Alas
ka policy were outlined in the fair
amphitheater, and from the same plat
form william j. Bryan made his reply.

a feeling of relief to officials in the

QUARREL OVER AMERICAN
FLAG LEADS SCHOOL BOY
TO SLAY HIS PLAYMATE

Ell PASO, Tex, Oct. 16.-Just as
President Taft and his party were step
ping from his specila trian, and while
the cheers of welcome were yet ringing
Noll Morgan, a 14-year-old schoolboy
said to be part Mexican, stabbed to
death an American schoolmate, Law
renee Wimber. To add to the dramatic
significance of the incident, it has been
learned the quarrel was due. to a dis
pute over the possession Of an Ameri-
can flag.
As President Taft reached the St
Regis hotel, where a breakfast was to
be rendered him by the citizens of the
city, the body of the boy lay not fifty
yards distant.
1t was not removed until the break
fast was almost completed.

Second Time Capital

This is the second time in history
that Ciudad Juarez has been the tenn
porary capital of the Republic of Mex
leo, but under widely different cir
cumstances.
In 1866, when Bonito Juarez, consti-
tutional president of Mexico, was
driven in defeat before the troops of
Maximillian, self-appointed emperor of
the Mexican people, he took refuge and
established his capital in the little
city that lies across the international
boundary stream from FL Paso For
almost a year, surrounded by a small
band of half-starved, poorly-clad and
almost defenseless patriot soldiers, the
president of the Mexican republic
waited and hoped and watched for the
aid that he expected from the United
States; there, after weary waiting, he
finally rallied his forces and set out

TAFT REBUKES SEVERAL
SPEAKERS WHO EXPRESS
DOUBT OVER STATEHOOD

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, Oct. 16.-In
the closing minutes Of the banquet
which was rendered to him here last
night, President Taft took occasion TO
rebuke some local speakers who had
made rather testy remarks on the sub
iect of statehood. They had expressed
some doubt as to whether the Republi-
can party really was going to grant
statehood to New Mexico and Arizona,
despite the earnest declarations the
president had made in a speech in the
afternoon. They argued and harangued
for two hours while the president sat
patiently listening.
Then he arose and declared he was
like a julge he once knew who, at the
end of a long argument by counsel, re-
marked: Mr.. Wolfe, in spite Of your
argument, I am still with you"
A. B. Fall, former attorney general
of the territory, was one Of the speak
ers. He said New Mexico might pos
sibly,' be admitted now that the Re-
publican party had entered into
contract" on the subject.
For" he asserted in ringing tones,
'if the party had not agreed to admit
US to the Union the GOmpers anti-in-
junction plank would surely have been
written into the platform"
President Answers Sharply
The president answered this sharply.
LEST it may go down without con-
tradiction," he said, II want to say
that there never was any chance of the
passage of what Mr.. Gompers requested
in the Republican convention. The
resolution that I wanted on the sub
ject of injunction was defeated and
resolution milder in form was put in.
That is history and 1 do not want his
tory to be recorded other than as we
understand il to be"
One of the speakers paid his respects
to the people of Arizona, number of
whom, headed by Governor Sloan of
that territory, were present. Mr.. Fall
said the people of Arizona were fools"
not to come in under a joint statehood
act when they had the chance. He also
spoke of the right of New Mexico to
statehood.
TT is a right when it is accorded
you" said the president, "and 1t is not
right until it is accorded you"
Entitled to Statehood
I'VE are entitled to statehood in 1S4S
under a treaty" interrupted Mr.. Fall.
"Now you would not argue that you
were entitled to be a state in 1S48 and
have two senators in Washington when
there were fifteen states between you
and Washington that did not have
statehood said the president. Let us
be sensible. I am not contending
against your coming in. 1 am only
contending that you should come in
sane.
"The gentleman across the table used
the term possibly as If he still sus-
poets my sincerity and good will. Well,
Of course, a man cannot do any more
than promise and then try to carry it
out. 1 do think you may have had in
times past reason to complain because

ficiently versed in the history, and
therefore, perhaps, you have a right
to distrust me; but heretofore 1 have
tried to tell the truth, tried to carry
out such promises as 1 have made.

SEATTLE, Oct. 16.-At midnight to-
night the 100000 electric lights OF the
Alaska -Yukon-Pacific exposition were
put out, closing the worlds fair OF
1909, which from every standpoint was
more successful than its most jealous
friends had dared to hope.
The final minutes of the fair were
as dramatic as its beginning June l,
when 10000 people gathered at the
natural amphitheater and waited for
President Taft's signal.
The last day had been devoted to
saying good-by. The sun shone bright
ly, the flowers were never more beau
tiful and the whole exposition looked
as new and fresh as on the day of the
opening The closing exercises began
at 2:30 D. m. with a display of Jap
anese fireworks. The exposition band
paraded from building to building
serenading each.
The United States government build
ing was reached at 5:30 o'clock, its
daily closing hour. A cornet sounded
taps" and the band played 'Auld
Lang Syne." The flag was hauled
down as the life saving crew on Lake
Union fired twenty-one guns. At night
great throng of people assembled at
the natural amphitheater and listened
to a classical band concert.
At 1870 o'clock the exposition otf1-
cials and employees marched from tne
administration building to the amphi-
theater for the final exercises.
Chairman Presldes
On the stage Josiah Collins, chair
man of the committee on ceremonies,
presided and spoke briefly. President
j. e. Chilberg made an address of
thanks and farewell, and exactly at
midnight he opened "A switch that
darkened the whole fair. A single bu-
gler blew taps and then, in dark
ness but for the stars overhead, the
vast audience sang "Auld Lang Syne."

He was what is known as bad

Three times in his career he had es-
capped from prison and had shot and
killed deputy on one occasion. He
had brother, Charles Meagher of
Cleveland, also a thief. burglar, and
desperate. resourceful crook. He had
many friends; and Frank Meagher,
then fine looking, well-educated
chap of 2S, was highly respected and
much admired among the denizens of
the underworld for his daring and
cleverness.
Murray was certain that the
chances were all in favor of complete
plans having been made to rescue his
man. He had all of his papers ready
after midnight on June 20, and went
direct to the jail. A train left at 435
in the morning and it was Murray's
intention to get away on it with
Meagher. 1t was about three in the
morning when he arrived at the Jail

he knew an attempt would be made to
rescue him. From the fact that he
had gained possession of a revolver
and club. it was easy to surmise that
some of his friends were scheming to
aid him. He thought of that 4:35
train, and turned to the sheriff.

Yielding to the power of the other's

the slightest trace of nervousness,

silence was uncanny. Perhaps he
might shoot or bring the club down
with splintering force on the back of
his head. Still the detective sat, with
out moving, gazing steadily down the
stairs. Finally Meagher spoke soft
ly, almost in a whisper. ,~sd
You're a game fellow, Murray" he
said. "I'll not go with Muncie, but
I'll go with you, ii you get me that

He stepped down and surrendered

and they walked side by side into the
Office. Meagher spat contemptuously
at the sheriff. swore at Muncie, and
glanced at the clock. 1t was just four,
and a smile fitted over his face He
donned the suit of clothes, Murray
slipped the handouts on him, and, ac.
companied by Muncie, captor and cap
tured entered a closed carriage which
was driven at gallop to the railroad
station. As the party alighted the
train was making ready to 60.
A second carriage drove up, and
from thence alighted Red Jim Car

known crooks. Murray and Muncie
hastily boarded the train with their
prisoner between them. AS the cars
began to move, a third carriage drove
furiously up to the station, but the
occupants did not emerge, probably
seeing that they had missed the train.
Red Jim Carroll and his three com
panions, however. had climbed aboard
in safety. ..

The prisoner was first to break the

but without shifting his eyes, Il have

Murray smiled languidly. The sher-

A look of satisfaction crossed
Meagher's stern features. Murray.
watching him, knew that he was play
ing for delay, and became more than
ever determined to take him on that
4:35 train. Meagher leaned forward
and hurled torrent of insulting oaths
at Detective Muncie, possibly hoping
that he might create diversion by
picking a quarrel with the Cleveland
officer. Muncie made no reply, and
the prisoner again turned his atten-
ton to Murray.
I've got nothing against you, Muir
ray" he said. But don't come step
nearer me-"
Murray reflected. He half turned
his back and sat down on the stair.
If Meagher had looked away for a
moment he could have slipped out his
gun from his pocket. But the prison
