CIRCUS CROWD AND TAFT
PARTY JOLLY ON SUCCESS
IN DRAWING THE PEOPLE

For an hour or more before leaving
Jackson, Miss, early yesterday morning,
President Taft's special train WAS parked
in the railroad yards Immediately along
side one of the sleeping car trains of the
three-ring circus which played in Jack
son as an opposition attraction to the
President on yesterday.
1t was not long before acquaintance
had been formed aboard the two trains
and for a time conversation ran from
window to window like this:
1--WE play in Yazoo tomorrow? Where
do you play?" asked a representative of
the circus addressing one of the presi-
Dental party.
I'VE play Columbus in the afternoon
and Birmingham at night with street
parade in both Places" came the reply.
1--WE played Columbus yesterday"
"How was business?"

the circus man amid the applause OF his
associates

''If it wasn't for the one main guy you
wouldn't have show at ALL" chimed in
sad and serious visaged Individual
through one of the windows of the yell
low circus train. He was the leading
clown.
The bombardment from the three-ring
show became SO heavy that the presiden-
tial adherents gave up the task of fur
Their comparison and all hands parted
company with expressions of great de-
light that the circus was going into
winter quarters in two weeks and that
the Presidents troupe was quitting the
road in 10 days.

There was a practical sensation in the
Birmingham Seminary chapel Sunday
in which the Cumberland Presbyterlans
hold their religious worship
1t was occasioned by the beginning or
a political discussion from the pulpit by

to discuss the issue concerning which the
people of Alabama are deeply interested

New Line TO Mexico.

st. Louis, Dec. "A widespread shift
ing of railroad officials and the removal
of the headquarters of the Chicago &
Eastern Illinois railroad from Chicago
to st. Louis are to result from the Rock
Island Frisco deal cOnsUmmated in
NeF York yesterday. According To in
Information here, II. 1. Miller. now
president of the Chicago & Eastern IL
linOis, will have a position with the
Rock Island lines.
Official announcement is also expect
ed soon of the joining of the st. Louis,
Brownsville & Mexico to the Frisco
system. The contamination of this plan
depends. it is said. upon the ability Of
the Frisco to obtain trackage rights
from its main line to the Brownsville
road and to the Colorado Southern and
the New Orleans & Pacific.
If this is done through routes will
have been established from Chicago, st.
Louis and Kansas City to New Orleans,
the principal cities of Texas ard Mex
lean border at Brownsville.
The Brownsville road, in conjunction
with the National Railways Of Mexico.
is bridging the Rio Grande from
Brownsville to Matamoras. An extern
sion from the latter place to Tampico is
also connected, and there connections
viii be made with a new line to Mex
leo City. This, when completed, will
reduce the mileage between st. Louis
and the Mexican capital by 200 miles.

William H. Moore and Daniel G..
Reid will become members of the eX-
ecutive committee of the Lehigh Valley

The announcement that the Rock

Lehigh Valley board was no surprise to
Wall street, where it had been known
for some time that Mr. Moore and Mr..
Reid had been heavy purchasers Of Lee
high Valley stock COincident with the
absorption of Lehigh Valley stock,
which caused a big rise in the price of
those securities on the Philadelphia
stock exchange recently, there have
been numerous reports that the Rock
Island company would seek to connect
the Lehigh Valley and the Rock island
company by taking over the Wabash
railroad.
