tellane, having insisted that his wife,
who was Miss Anna Gould, place the
three sons of the Castellane-Gould

the school
Counsel for the princess said his

Wright Angry at Taft

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. 22.--yarious
confusions confront members OF the
committee appointed for the purpose
of entertaining and arranging for the
reception of President Taft October 27.
What is referred to as an "embar-

ride in Taft's carriage during the
parade. Wright succeeded Taft as gov
ernor general of the Philippines and
rs secretary of war under President
Roosevelt, but is now retired to pri

is owing to the failure of President

the Past

CORPUS CHRISTI Tex, Oct. "a
Announcing himself as an advocate of
deep waterways when such projects can
be shown to be practicable and ieclar-
ing the piecemeal procession by jerks"
policy of congress in the past with ref
erence to such improvement should be
replaced with definite plan. President
Taft caused much enthusiasm at the
Interstate Inland waterways league
here today.
Is The president said that in addition
to extending commerce the deep inland
waterways would serve to control rail-
road rates. He added, however, he did
not favor radical legislation; that his
purpose merely was to keep railroad
companies within bounds.
The president urged a square deal'
for the railroads, that they might not
be deprived of reasona BILE profit S
through popular prejudice.
a nine foot intercoastaI canal was
one Of the projects to which the presi-
dent referred as part af definite sys-
tenn of waterways Improvement.
When he had finished his speech he
went out to the Corpus Christi golf and
country club and dedicated the new
links by driving a ball from the first
tee.
The club presented him with bag
of nine splendid golf sticks a a souve-
mir of the occasion. The president and
several members of his party dined at
the home of Mrs H. M. King, who
owns more land than any other woman
in the United States. Her ranch here
comprises l. 900. 900 acres.

MANS LIFE SHOULD
Be FOR $50 YEARS
Yale Scientist Makes Such De-
ductions From His Study
of Mammals


NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-The normal
span of human life is $50 years. ac-
cording to remarkable study by Pro-
fessor Fisher of Yale. which has just
been published by the national conser-
walton commission at Washington.
Professor Fisher shows that the
length Of mans existence is steadily
growing, both in this country and Eu-
rope. with the progress of science, san
itation and social betterment, and de-
clares that the span Of $50 years will
before long be possible of attainment
The Investigations by Melchinkoff
are quoted by Professor Fisher to show
that the average normal span should oe
$50 wears. Mammals. generally. he
points out. live about five times their
growing period Mans period Of
growth is 80 years, and, according to
that he should live for $50 years. The
present average duration of life is
stated at 3s years.
Two cases of persons who lived to
great ages are Drakenberg, a Norwe-
gian, who died at the age of lag years,
and Mrs. Mary Ramsey Wood oftPort-
land, Ore, who died aged 100.

President Taft to Columbus when he

The city council Will also refuse to

The feeling against Taft is due to the

Fifty one thousand tons Of steel were used In its construction. employing as many as 5000 men At one time. It cost $J6,- Wn0o0 and fifty-six lives. The work men began ar either end and worked toward the center When they met and undertook the last connection 1t was found that the two ends lacked a small fracion of an inch of reaching far enough to allow the insertion oi the bolts that were to complete the span. For time this was puzzle, but was finally solved by an ingenious workman who suggested expansion by artificial heat, and It was forthwith supplied by means of burning kerosene oil under the steel glrder.
