AUGUSTA, Ca. Jan. M.-"The Taft
chuckle" was described in an eloquent
manner by Judge Henry c. Hammond
Judge of the superior courts OF the Angus
ia circuit In his response TO a toast at
the banquet given last night at the Hamp-
ton Terrace hotel by the chamber OF COM
merce. This description came during his
speech on "The Significance of the Presi-
dent-eiect.s Sojourn In Georgia" The
speech made one OF the big hits of the
evening.
Other speakers of the evening were
Judge Joseph r. Lamar and Tom 10y

Judge Hammond spoke, In part, as fol-

DESCRIBES TAFT CHUCKLE

which drew him to the land which had
never before been resided in by Re-
publican president. or persident-elect.
Taft Cordially Responsive
whatever may have been the recog-
nized incentive, we believe there must
have been some subconscious realization
of the timelness of a visit to this hith-
erto politically alien land. His coming
here Is the first instance, his course
while here, has in IT a national signifi-
canoe Instead of living the life of the
recluse. the student, the health-seelker
the willy politician. he has been cordially
responsive to every demand made upon
him. He has accepted with infinite pa
thence every invitation extended, eaten
without regard to quality the food set
before him He has not been oracular
or reserved in his speech, but freely and
candidly he has let the people of the
south know where they will find him.
He has given us these assurances: abso-
lutte fairness in all governmental mat
ters as far as he shall control them; a
purpose to appoint men 10 federal office
in the south whose characters shall COM
mend them to their fellow citizens here
mo man who has met and talked with
Mr. Taft can doubt that he fully appre-
ciates che boundless resources of the
south and the pressing need for their
development. He will further not only
the south's material welfare, but will aid
in the wise solution of her great social
problems.
"Mr. Taft. there is somewhat of the
miraculous in the results Of your short
residence in Georgia You came to swing
a golf club and you admit you swung
II poorly. but, sir, as statesman and
patriot you have welded a mighty sledge
with which you have welded the union

Taft and Rockefeller Meet
President-elect Taft and John d. Rock
efeller met for the first time, since Mr..
Rockefeller's arrival at the banquet last
night at $40 o'clock.
Mr.. Rockefeller had for some time been
holding an Informal reception, at which
the arriving guests had been eager at
tendants. When Mr.. Taft arrived he es-
tablished himself a short distance from
Mr.. Rockefeller in the assembly room of
the hotel At once the crowd began to
desert the OIL magnate and assemble
around Mr. Taft. Mr.. Rockefeller was
taken by the hand by Mr.. c.. A. Woods,
manager of the hotel, and formally pre-
scented to Mr.. Taft
How are you, Mr.. Rockefeller was
the jovial salutation of Mr.. Taft. 'T got
around the golf links in IS today"
II wanted to hear you speak this af-
ternoon." was the reply of Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter, who added. with touch of regret in
his voice. but 1 could not get near
enough"
This ended the interview as the other
guests pressed forward for an introduce
ton to Mr.. Taft.
The banquet last night was preceded by
big mass meeting yesterday morning
aft which President-elect Taft spoke. He
was introduced by Hon. j. c. c. Black.

CLARK TEST|F|ES

Man Tried for Second Time On
Charge of Numbering Horton
Warren, Claims Alibi.

Charles Clark, alleged murderer OF
Horton Warren, and once convicted
OF the crime, furnished a surprise TO
the prosecution, Tuesday morning,
when he mounted the witness stand
In his own behalf. daring the usual
bad effect OF prison record, In the
effort to prove an alibi and acquit
himself of the murder charge.
Warren was shot and killed on the
night of Oct %, 1902, and after a

Clark was not caught until some time
later, when he was found operating n

resulted In a conviction, but the SUI
preme court granted him a new trial,
on a technically, after he had started
to serve mis- life sentence. McGrath
escaped from the pentitentiary and Is
etill at large.
Clark, whose right name Is Charles
Connors, had very weak alibi. SIM

but not In the vicinity OF the Goderich
house on the night Of the Warren MUIR
DER there.
He admitted that he had served
terms for burglary, sand that he left
Detroit between Oct. % and Oct. 30,
following the Warren murder. But
he denied being a fugitive, swearing
that the first he knew OF the murder
was In 1906, when he returned to De-
troit. stayed two days at the McGregor
mission, and met former friend, who
asked him what he was doing in De-
troit, informing him that the police
were looking for him. Then, he ad-
mitted, he left, and kept under cover.
Clark's story Of his wanderings, i'm
mediateiy following the Warren mu--
der, was most interesting, but could
hardly be termed favorable to his
case. He left Detroit and went TO
Wyandotte, where he stayed only a
few hours, then he went to Toledo,
to Tiffin, to Springfield, indianapolis,
Cincinnati, Terre Haute, st. Louis aud
finally to Little Rock, Ark, and out

both men know the rules of the game
too well and that they would do moth.
ing that would eliminate them from
the contest.
The story OF a part OF their fight
is told in a message TO friends here
sent by Fisher. 1t reveals the fact
that the men have assumed risks
which for daring have never been
eQualed, Fisher said:
I'VE were compelled'to give up the

out ballast we have twice suddenly
shot up $4,000 feet and come down
almost as quickly. Wind seems to be
vertical rather than parallel to earth's
surface. We will stick to this until
gas gives out and we seem to have
lost very little" ~
Aeronauts say that when such air
currents are encountered the only
thing done heretofore is to effect a
landing as quickly and as safely as
possible. For, they say, death seemed
to be certain TO anyone heretofore who
after flight OF 40 hours has been sud

been solved and no aeronaut hereto
fore has had the daring to attempt to
solve them. They have been the end
OF all other contests where the only
other cause for descending-lack OF
gas--has been absent.
The secret OF this extraordinary
flight seems to lie in two things-the
