TAKE WIDEST LATITUDE.
Striking White Railroad Men BegiT
Testimony in Atlanta.

ATLANTA. Ga, June 22.-When the
Georgia railroad arbitration board met
this morning to begin taking testimony In
the dispute in the case between the rail-
road and its white firemen, there were
about fifty witnesses for the employees in
the Piedmont assembly room. Vice Presi-
dents Ball and Kelly of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and Engnemen
are in charge Of the strikers case. al
though Attorney Reuben Arnold handled
the witnesses.
1t was evident from the opening that
the strikers proposed to demand as wide
a latitude as possible In the nature Of
the testimony. Vice President Kelly told
the arbitrators that Commissioner Gray
in the anthracite arbitration laid down
the rule that everything tending to
throw light upon the dispute. whether
hearsay or not, should be admitted. He
declared that in other disputes in which
he had been a factor the arbitratOrs had
followed the same idea.
This Is a homely story of ours, he
said, simply told in our honely way.
We do not know much OF the law or the
rules of evidence; we do know our wrongs
and our sufferings. II We are to be fairly
treated, and IL you gentlemen are to get
at the facts in this case, you must let US
tell our tale in our own way.

TAFT BROKE UP
DINNER PARTY
Couldn't Attend BlnQuet by
Governors Because Throat
Was Sore
SAVE GOOD THINGS
FOR ANOTHER EIiHT

b. United Press LEASED Special wire
ON BOARD THE STEAMER ST.
PAUL, MISSISSIPPI RIVER. Oct. 26.--
Trouble fell IN chunks on board the
Governors boat after she left st
Louis last night and President Taft
was the cause OF It ALL
The st. Paul carrying the Governors
Of % States according 70 the liter
ature printed by the Businessmen's
League Of st. Louis, was the next IN
line behind the Presidents steamer. the
Oleander and for an hour or so after
leaving ST. Louis, all was 10y and
comfort on board.
The white bosomed walters hustled
around the long cabin. setting one hun
drde plates and arranging for the COW
ers on the snowy board, which ex-
tended from one end TO the other OF
the saloon. while the band began tun-
ing up for the feast Of melody that
was 20 accompany the banquet Of solids
and liquids.
The President Of the United states
was due at 7.45 p. M, according 10 the
program, and the careful little folder
further advised the governors and
other guests in the matter of personal
adornment by adding at the lower left
hand corner evening dress"
At $50 p. m, most Of the governors
were in their staterooms struggling
with boiled shirts" and refractory coll
lars.
Suddenly there was a hoarse footing
Of whistles on the river and the sound
Of hoarser voice. delivering a mega
phone message from the Oleander 20
the st. Paul
"The President viii not be able TO
attend dinner on the st. Paul tonight"
the megaphone voice shouted. Ills
throat is too sore. He win be with
you some other night this week"
Had the oleander fired a 10 inch
shell into the hull Of the ST. Paul
! II could hardly have caused more con-
sternation on the governors boat. From
one end Of the craft to the other, the
news spread like prairie fire. The gov
ernors threw their dress suits into their
steamer trunks and the white bosomed
walters carried the news to the chef
in the galley.
Orders were hastily issued by James
Il. Smith, president Of the Business
mems League, to save the victuals at
all hazards for this evening or tomor-
row, or such other evening as the
President might decide to come aboard,
as there will be no opportunity TO re-
place between here and Memphis. The
flowers were carefully taken up and
put in water, the ices repacked and the
salads chucked into cold water and the
half baked meats slowed away where
it was hoped they would not spoil.
Meanwhile President Taft. blissfully
unconscious Of the trouble he had
made on the st. Paul, was quietly play
ing bridge on board the Oieander. The
lOleander arrived at Cape Giardeau and
the feet docked before daylight. Pres
ident TAFT was at once taken TO the
scene Of his before daylight speech
by the local reception committee.
