Taft's FIotiIIa
 At Memphis
RIVER SCHEDULE WENT ALL TO
 PIECES YESTERDAY.
FLEET DELAYED IN ARRIVAL
Vessels Unable to Keep Up With Flag ship oIeander-Need for Deep Wa terways Amply Demonstrated.

Helena. Ark, Oct 27.-President | Tafts river schedule went all to pieces today owing to the ina biIity of the yes seis following his flagship the Olean- der. to maintain the pace. The presi-
 dent tried to remain with the fleet as
 far as possible and delayed his arrival in Memphis three hours this morning in order that the boats carrying the 26 governors and the IF congressman, as well as other vessels catrying dele gates to the waterways convention in New Orleans. might dock at the same
 time.
 Delays Damage Schedule.
 Leaving Memphis an hour and half late this afternoon. the Oleander
 had to press forward at top speed iu
 order to reach Helena at 8 o'clock to-
 night. two hours behind the scheduled
 time. In making the run the Oleander left all of the other vessels of the
 fleet far astern.
 Delays wrought havoc with the schedule for the remainder of the trip. Leaving Helena nearly three hours late
 tonight. the president will not reach Nielsburg until after dark tomorrow night. that being his next stop. He
 will have to leave the other vessels behind
 l. had been intended that. the presi- dent should be welcomed once more to AIkdlSdS uN NJONtI1l0I lDOIdSHGN- put the governors boat was an hour be- hind the president and the introduc- tory speech was made by Mayor Mar tin.
 Brief Speech at Helena, Ark. The president spoke briefly from a stand erected in the center of the city. The night air and the bad con ditiou of his voice did not permit a 1 longer address.
 Two Speeches at Memphis. Mr. Taft received noisy welcome in Memphis today. As his boat drew up to the levee, lhe place swarmed with people. The roofs of tall build ings fronting the river also were crowded.
 The president spoke first at Memphis at the Y. M. C. A building. and after wards made a waterways speech in the Auditorium in which he declared that such commercial advantages as the Mississippi river already afforded were not taken advantage of as they should be. He also pointed out the hard work that would have to be done to start a system of commerce, even after the i deep waterways was assured. The trip down the river, according to the president. has amply demon- strated the inadequacy of present river traffic to compete with railroads and 1 the need for deep waterways.
