TAFT AND RED CROS|
PRESIDENT IS REELECTED TIC
 HEAD. ORGANIZATION.
Expresses Hope That some One w1n
 Endow 1t With e5.0O0,0 ,000- .. Gold Medal Goes to

Washington, Dec. 7.--President Taft was reelected President of the Ameri- can Red Cross late today and presided for time over the fifth annual meet ing the association held in the Memo- rial Hull of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
 The President made a brief address, in which he expressed the hope that some day some one might present the Red Cross with an endowment fund of s6.oo0,00. to place its beneflcient work on more permanent basis.
 Mir Taft also presented In person a gold medal voted by the Red Cross to Lloyd c. Griscom. former Ambassador to Italy. for work rendered by him during the recent earthquake In South- ern Italy. and silver medals to Miss Katherine B. Davis and Samuel B. Par irish. who assisted in the Italian relief work
 Among other officers reelected. in addition to President Taft, were Rob ert W. DeF,orest. Vice. President; Beck man Winthrop. Treasurer. and Henry M. Hoyt. Solicitor.
 President Taft tonight attended the informal reception to the delegates to the annual meeting at the home of Miss Mabel Boardman.
 During the last year" said Mir. Taft ''the society has shown what 1t could do in its assistance to Italy after the earthquake: to Eastern Turkey after the massacres. and to Mexico after the floods. t
 Tt seems to be necessary in some way or another to fill the American eye and to fill the American ear before you can arouse them to contributions, and when you have a disaster such as that in Italy which appealed to all we are most generous.
 T am sure somebody Is going to be born, and I hope he Is born already, who will give us a large endowment. In our uriimagfnattons. we might as well make 1t as large as we need. think we ought to have an endowment of about $5.0O0,000. We have been mod est and have asked only for $2.000.000, but if any one has an extra s3.000, poo. he need not be restricted because of the limitation put in and caused by our mOdesty

FOUR COURTS TRY CASE
KENTUCKY,s s1sT REGIMENT
 ROW. PERPLExlNG.
Trouble Dates Back To Resignation sf Colonel ". B. Haldeman. Privates Held In Armory
 Under Guard.

Louisville. Ky. Dec. -Four courts
 Police. Circuit. Federal and Mili- tary--have become involved in the in- ternal troubles of the 1st Kentucky Infantry. recruited in Louisville.
 Today. in the armory. the eases of alleged insubordinate members of Company c was heard by regimenta' courtmartial.
 Wednesday the Chandeliers of Jef- ferson County will pass upon the right of the military authorities to arrest and conflne in the armory members of militia regiment. as has been done during the past week
 Thursday, Federal , Judge Walter Evans will pass on the question or whether the Kentucky State Guard is a part of the armed force Of the uniteo States and therefore under the 1uris- diction of the Federal courts
 The trouble dates back to the resiE nation last summer of Colonel w. B !. Haldeman and ninety per cent of the officers of the 1st Kentucky, on, the ground that the Adjutant General Of the State. Phillip P. Johnston. refused to permit them the right of electing what officers they choose Since then, the regiment has been re-omcered un- der Colonel Harry c. Grinstead, and 1t is to compel pTlVdtts to aAtVho oiH T that the arrests of recent days have been made.
 Some of the odd results of what Is termer 'the lst Regiment row" to date. are these:
 Adtutant General Johnston, resent ing editorial criticism of his conduct in connection with Colonel Halde- mans regime. caned Denny R Goode, Louisville newspaper man, and has been held to answer to the grand jury on charge Of malicious assault.
 Armed sentries guard the armory each night. and require countersign before they will pass anyone.
 Chancellor Shackleford Miller. one of the most dignified Of Kentucky's Judiciary. has twice held night court; once in a drug store and once in the parlors of a. hotel. to pass on haheas corpus applications for arrested mil itiamen. ||@W
 The court-nartial met at the armory and organized after which. in defer ence to the State and Federal courts. which have several of the enlisted men under their Jurisdiction. it adjourned until next Saturday.

Within the next few days the field trials men who have campaigned their strings from far away Manitoba up in Canada on down the circuit to Dixie Land. will be headed for Montgomery where they will take part in the Southern field trials next Monday. The handlers who have entered in the open derby of the Georgia Club at Waynes- boro will begin shipping their dogs to Montgomery on the conclusion of the last brace in the derby unless the same dog is entered .n the ali-age stakes.
 The hard rains have put the course at Letohatchie in splendid shape. put ting enough water in the ditches for the dogs to roll in during a hard run and field trials men know how neces- sary ditch water Is to bird dogs.
 There will be probably between s30.- 900 and $40.000 worth of dogs at Leto. hatchie during the trials. The dogs and their handlers will stay at Leto- old Alabama field trials club, which held the last meeting in this section of the State at Greenville ten years ago. the last meeting of that club be- ing held at Huntsville few years la- ter.
 MT. Socweli Is Secretary of the In- dependent Field Trials Club which held Its trials at Hutsonville. H.. few weeks ago.
 The drawing for the derby which starts at Letohatchie Monday will be held at the Exchange Hotel Sunday night. The drawings for the a1l-age will be held probably Monday night. and the annual meeting of the clut will be held early next week.
