 In all his speeches today, including the last one delivered at 2 clock to- night to n throng in Elk park, follow ing an illuminated parade and display of fireworks, the president touched briefly on the subject of irrigation.

 In his Grand Junction speech Taft said:

BUTLER, Pa., September s3.-This county has spent about the most rest less Sunday in it's career. Those whose heads were not too big for utterance were too mad to go to prayers, and there were small congregations in all the churches It was all because of the "Old Home Week" celebration in Ev- ans City. There were three days of it, but the last was the biggest of all Some graeeless scamp turned beer hose into the barrels supposed to contain ice wa ter. and before the county police could be called upon there were more drunks than Butler county has seen at once in its history.
 They were not all of the masculine sex who got too much of the "ice wa ter" on board. Some very highly re- spected women of the county thought ''the ice water had such 8 funny taste" that they remained to test it thoroughly, and the result was that by the time friends got to them they had told their names and whole lot of secrets of their family histories.
 The trick was not discovered until q prominent church deacon came down with a homemade gourd cup and took one great pull at the ice water. {" In his younger days the deacon had been a lively "one of the boys" and had known the taste of hops. He got one swallow and then jumped two feet in the air serecehing:

SELLING WORTHLESS STOCK
Directors of Company in Charge of
Old Comstock Mine Declare En-.
pIoye Sold 22,50o Bogus
Mining Shares

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. SO.-Frank E.
Dietz, secretary Of the Belcher Mining
company, whose property consists of
one of the old Comstock mines, is ac-
cused. in a statement issued by the
directors today of having perpetrated
an extensive fraud whereby many in
vestors will suffer.

shares of worthless stock, upon which
he is alleged to have collected assess
ments over period Of several years.
The discovery, according to the re-
ports made public today, was made by

trolled the property.

HAS WILD
FIGHT WITH GALES
SHIP REACHES HARBOR AFTER
THRILLING VOYAGE
Experience Of Vessel with Terrific
Storm on Lake Michigan Proves
One of Most Exciting on
Record

CHICAGO, Jan. 30.-Probably the
most thrilling incident of the wide
spread storm in this section was bat
tie of the steamer City of Marquette
against raging Lake Michigan as it
fought it's way in a sinking condition
along the Illinois shore from Chicago
to Waukegan.
With the firemen standing in water
up to their waists and shoveling coal
into a feeble fire the boat limped into
Waukegan eleven hours after it left
Chicago. Before it reached the dock
the water rose over the fires and the
aid of a tug had to be secured.
The whole upper works of the boat
were shattered by the waves that
broke over it, and it was only by great
exertion that it was kept af1oat.
The City of Marquette is a wooden
boat, drawing fourteen feet of water.
The bows, however, are reinforced with
steel for breaking the ice, and it has
made daily trips for years.
The crew of twelve men had gone
through many stormy voyages, but
after they set foot in Waukegan with
their clothing frozen on them they
vowed they never would again tempt
fate on Lake Michigan in the winter.
Captain Arthur Hill was the only
one undaunted. He declared he would
have the City in shape in a week or
two and continue in spite of ice and
northeasters. A grewsome result of
the disturbance of Lake Michigan was
the yielding up by the water of the
body of former Lighthouse Keeper IF
the Port F. w. Rather, which was
taken by them in a similar storm four
teen months ago. The body was identi-
fed by it's gold teeth and wedding ring.

Says EmpIoye Threw Money Vault
from Train When He Heard
Torpedo

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-According to
William M. Barrett, first vice president
OF the Adams Express company, a safe
containing money and a chest of valu-
able packages were thrown from a
car OF the company into the Susque-
hanna river in Pennsylvania on Thurs
day night, and have been recovered
They were found between Marysville
and Bridgeport yesterday.
The messenger in charge of the valu-
ables cast them into the river while
his car was crossing a bridge between
the two towns fearing, he said, that
robbers were about to attack them. He
was startled, he said, by an explosion
under the car, and this led him to
adopt quick means of frustrating the
supposed robbers.
Private detectives are investigating
the case, but as yet the cause Of the
explosion has not been ascertained
Divers, by dint of hard work, yester-
day located and raised the safe and
chest with contents practically intact.

LANSING, Kans., Jan. S0.-Nine

day.
The convicts, numbering in all S4A,
sixteen of whom are women, were
shackled together in pairs, those in
clined to be unruly being chained in
groups.
The removal of the prisoners today
grew out of an investigation started by
Miss Kate Barnard, superintendent of
prisons and charities in Oklahoma, who
charged that the Oklahoma convicts
were cruelty treated.
Following the investigation Kansas
refused to renew it's contract with
Oklahoma for the care Of their con-
victs.
The old contract ended today, and
Oklahoma officials were forced to re-
move the convicts, notwithstanding
Oklahoma has no state penitentiary in
which to house them.

C00FER TRIAL IN NASHVILLE
AGAIN ENLIVENED
INVALID JUROR Is CAUSE OF
SPIRITED CONTENTION
Prosecutor Declares Report of Ac-
cepted TaIesman's AffIiction Is
a Scheme to Get Rid
of Him
[Bv Associated Press.l

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 3O.-The
tenth day of the trial of the Coopers
and John Sharpe for the murder of for
mer Senator Carmack opened today
with less than a hundred of the 305
talesmen summoned in court.
The jury box now contains nine men,
enc of whom it is considered certain
will be released because of poor health.
The list was quickly exhausted with
out securing juror, and the new We
niIe of 500 was instructed to report
Tuesday morning. Judge Hart then
called Juror Whitworth at the request
of the state.
Attorney General McCarn asked him
concerning his health. The juror said
he was feeling pretty well. The state
insisted that he remain on the jury.
Judge Hart said:
81 don't want to take any chances of
mistrial because of the illness of a
juror. A man who has an organic dis
ease is more liable to be i'll than an
other man.
At this point Attorney Garner for the
state said:
Calls Ii Scheme
For some reason your honor will ap-
preciate, the word has gone out that
Whitworth must be gotten off that
jury. This is a scheme to get the man
off. But we hear that men even went
to Mrs. Whitworth and told her that
her husband was in a serious condition
in order to excite her fears
eff there is anything like this going
on the court wants to know it, said
Judge Hart sharply.
The attorneys for the defense were
or their feet instantly, clamoring to be
heard and denouncing bitterly any in
situations that they were guilty of
undetermined practices.
The prosecutors denied they attribut-
ed the plan or even the knowledge to
counsel for the defense, but insisted
upon an investigation.
'"These charges are serious,'' said
Judge Hart. This court will not per-
nit chicanery. If, however, the court
finds that Mr.. Whitworth really is a
victim of Bright's disease, he will be
excused, and this in itself will disprove
the charges. To this end DR.. Bower
will examine Mr. Whitworth again and
report to the court on Monday.v
Thereupon court adjourned until
Monday morning.

Not Severe

MADRID, Jan. 30.-All communica-

city Of Barcelona is uninterrupted and
the reports emanating from England

no serious damage was done. The
walls of only few houses were
cracked.
Slight shocks also were felt in the
village of Olias. At both Tolona and
Olias the inhabitants fled panic-strick-
en- to the suburbs, fearing that a dis
aster was upon them such as devas-
tated Sicily and southern Italy.
1t is reported that the moment the
earthquake occurred the sun was hid
den by a dense gray cloud which, how
ever, disappeared Immediately, while a
shower of hailstones as large as wall
nuts covered the ground to a depth Of
several centimeters.
