LAST GAME OF GOLF.
Callers Were Early at the Boardman
Residence Today.

Washington, March with no en-
gagements to begin the day President
elect Taft anticipated another period
OF comparative ease and quiet to pre-
pare him for the arduouS duties that
confront his near future.
Notwithstanding the dearth of pre-
viouS engagements, callers from the
capitol began to present themselves at
the Boardman residence at an early
hour These were rather calls of re-
spect than business or political under
takings. He continues to be in fine
spirits and health.
President-elect Taft today INDUCED
in what he believes will be his last
game of golf before his Inauguration.
He curtailed his engagements for the
afternoon and rode in his new automo-
bile to the links of the Chevy Chase
Golf club. He was proudly wearing
the watch and chain presented to him
last night by the Philippine party. He
announced that the members of his
party had been invited to luncheon at
the White House, after the Inaugural
ton on March A.
Speaking of the plan to have Mrs.
Taft and Mrs. Sherman ride from the
capitol with their respective husbands,
after the Inauguration, Mr.. Taft ex-
planned that the committee had reached
the conclusion that as soon as the new
officials had received the oath of office,
the work of the inaugural committee
was finished and they would take
separate carriages as the guests of
President Taft and follow him to the
White House The members of the
committee will be luncheon guests of
President Taft.

SAYING farewell.
President Roosevelt Meets Cabinet for
the Last Time.

Washington, March 2.-The last
regular meeting of President Roose-
veIts cabinet was held today. There
was little business, the time being
spent in pleasant farewells and rem1n-
iscent stories. The president ex-
pressed regret at parting with the body
of such faithful workers and helpers
and extended his best wishes. Each
member of the cabinet had some feel
ing remark to make to the chief exc
cutive.
The cabinet officers will follow the
customary course of turning in their
designations, which will be acted upon
by the incoming president as soon as
his cabinet has been confirmed by the
senate.
President Roosevelt received hun
dreds of personal friends today who
came to say farewell. He received the
new minister from Hayti, NJ. Paulois
Sannon, who presented his credentials
Later he shook hands with several
hundred members of the original
Roosevelt club of St. Paul. Then came
the choir boys of st. PauPs Catholic
church of Washington.
The president received and bade
farewell to the members of the diplo-
matte corps and their ladies'
This evening the president and Mrs
Roosevelt will dine with Secretary and
Mrs. Straus.

HAD NARROW ESCAPE.
Illness of Senator Bacon Saved the
President From Censure.

Washington, March 2.-Seven mem
bers of the senate committee on judi
ciary signed the report declaring
that President Roosevelt without au-
thority of law sanctioned the absorp-
ton of the Tennessee Coal & Iron
company by the United States Steel
corporation and that the merger was
in violation of the Sherman antitrust
law. Two of the majority of the
committee, however, attached certain
individual views which to a degree
minimize the effect of the declaration.
Hints at Impeachment.
Mr. Bacon expressed doubt whether
the senate should pronounce finally
upon the question whether the presi-
dent committed a wrongful act for
the reason that the senate is Judge in
Impeachment proceedings He takes
the position that the merger was IL
legal but that the senate should not
take any action to prejudice any pro-
ceedings that might hereafter De
brought before it,
From the report signed and sub
mitted today it appears that had II
not been for the illness of Senator
Bacon and his absence from the COM
mittee yesterday. the report declaring
The Topeka state journal., 1909-03-02

the president acted without authority
of law would have been adopted as
the opinion of the committee. In any
event Senators Culberson and Kit
tredge take the position that a ma
jority of the committee has reported
that the merger was illegal and that
the department of justice should pro-
ceed against the United States Steel
corporation to dissolve. The dis
agreement on the resolution was
placed on the calendar and will ex-
pire with the close of the present ses-
sion.
Later Senator Foraker filed his in
dividuaI views declaring that he did
not think it necessary for the COM
mittee to consider whether the trans
action was a violation of the anti
trust law. He said that the reply of
the committee should be confined to
the one question as to whether the
president was authorized to permit
the merger and that this should be
answered in the negative. In view of
the fact that representatives of the
steel corporation called upon the
president and asked his advice con-
cerning the transaction and that the
question also was submitted to Attor-
ncy General Bonaparte, Senator For
aker took the position that the steel
corporation should not be condemned
for its action.

CAMPAIGN EXPENSES.
Senate Passes Bill Providing for Their
Filing.

At the session of the senate this
afternoon a bill providing for filing of
statements of campaign contributions
and expenditures was passed.
Senator OverfeId's bill provided for
the publication of all receipts and ex-
penditures for political purposes and
prescribed that state and congress
sional committee should file state
ments with the secretary of state
while county and city campaign man
ayers should file their statements with
county and city clerks. The original
bill also provided that the secretary
of state and the county and city clerks
should publish these campaign state
ments in the official state, county and
city papers. respectively.
When this bill came up for passage
this afternoon the senate struck out
all of Senator Overfield's original bill
and substituted bill offered by the
judiciary committee
The judiciary committee amend
ment, which was adopted and passed
by the seante, does not require any
publication of campaign statements,
but only for their fling.

ROMANCE IN SENATE.
Session Brought Happiness to Two
Promising Employees.

While the state senate has been engaged
in the turmoil of legislation, busted with
guaranty acts, affinity laws, public util-
| tiles, anti-lobby laws, and other sordid
into full bloom delightful little romance
| right under the very eyes OF the senators
and in and about the senate chamber.
Notwithstanding there have been heated
debates over various subjects of leg1sla-
torts have passed back and forth across
the august chamber, yet the daring,
scantily clad, little younEster, armed with
the temerity to invade the unfriendly pre-
cincts and bring together Two souls with
but a single. thought; two hearts that
beat each other
The parties to this charming, little
two senate committee clerks, Mr.. Harry A.
Hart, of Leavenworth. and Miss Efrie
Stein Stein of Ate6is0n Today and in faet act
and Mrs H. A Hart, for the romance
culminated Friday in the office of Probate
Judge Schoch, when the young couple
At the opening of the present session Mr..
Hart came to onr beautiful city, the
correspondent of the Leavenworth Times,
and also clerk to Senator StiIlings'
Stein journeyed hither from Atchison as
clerk to the committee on congressional
and judicial apportiOnment. of which SEN
ator Myers is chairman. The session had
scarcely settled down to business when
HANDSOME Harry Hart. as he is called
by his friends among the press delegation,
turned about in his swivel chair at the
press ta Bile and glanced toward the little
alcOve committee room in the southeast
corner of the senate chamber on the bal
cony floor. That the impertinent little
winged lad directed his gaze, is borne out
by developments. There in the window of
the committee room, watching the senate
proceedings, sat Miss Stein, handsome,
petite, winsome lass. After that one glance,
the final chapter of the story might have
been written. The good-looking newspaper
man and the winsome little lady commit
tee clerk became acquainted and hence
forth they were much in each others So
ciety. The rest of the senate employees
noticed the beginning of the romance and
with kindly hearts smiled upon the devot-
ed young couple and pronounced the bene-
diction God bless you, my children" As
time passed by the attentions of the young
people toward each other increased and
in the minds of nearly all the senate en-
ployes the answer to the romance was
fixed.
Late Friday afternoon Mr.. Hart and
Miss Stein proceeded to the county court
house and sought Probate Judge Schoch
gether for all time. The marriage cere-
mony was kept a secret until today, ex-
cepting from the parents of the bride and
groom When questioned about the re-
ported marriage at the senate this morn
ing, both Mr.. and Mrs Hart blushingly
probate court showed differently, and this
afternoon the senators and the senate en-
ployes are congratulating the young couple
and wishing them great happiness.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Hart have many
friends a the capitol, all of whom appear
delighted over the happy elimination of
the romance. The young couple intend to
presumed they will make their future
home at 1eaVenwOrth.

MYSTERY TO BE CLEARED.
Body of Dead Man Ide entined-Murder Suspected.

Suspected.
 Dothan. March 10.-(Special. l-Sher- fir Butler has received e message from MT. Robert Carroll of Blue Springs, stating that in all probability the un- known man that was reported found in Beaver Creek. near here, Sunday is the body of his son. and that he will be here on the afternoon train to de. termine for certain. and to assist in determining the cause of death. MT. Carroll and his son were trappers and have been. working in this section.
 Something like two weeks ago. they separated in Columbia. the younger Mir. Carroll coming this way, since which time they have had no commu- nicatlon with each other.
 Sheriff Butler has been quietly at work on the case all the week and has his own theory as to how the young man came to his death.
 He has already made one arrest and has warrants for the arrest of three other negroes. whom he hopes to cap ture this afternoon.
 He has also received order from the court to, hold another postmortem ex- animation. and had expected to hold it today at II o'clock, until he received the message from MT. Carroll stating that he would not be able to reach Dothan before o'clock in the after noon. and wanted to be present. so the examination for additional evidence will be deferred until the afternoon
 The sheriff has in possession what is supposed to be parts of the dead mans clothes. which he found in the possession of the negro that he has under arrest, and he is hopeful of hay Ing the entire mystery solved before another day.

 Roads Suffer. 'Ehs LouAsviIIe and Nashville North Ds..A LA.. l. Tied Up by . wasA- ost Near Fillmore, Where
 Bridse Was Wrecked.
 

Daylight Wednesday showed dam- ege by the heavy rain of the day pre- vious which will amount to many thousands of dollars. both to the city, ts the county and to the truck farmer Tn the suburbs. Bridges on the county. roads. streets within the city Hints. and hundreds of acres of farm lands were damaged in many places
 Railroad tranic was interrupted during the greater part of the day. while the Montgomery Light and Wa ter Power Company's line from Tal- 1assee refused to supply current for city lights. and individual consumers up to late hour last night. The steam plant in North Montgomery was put into operation. keeping the Trac- uon. Company supplied. as well as power for machinery down town. Lights on the circuit of the company In the suburbs were out for the most part to late hour.
 As early as daybreak reports of de- vestation to crops and early vegeta- bles began coming into the city. News that the dam at Electric Park had again broken was reported. It was found that the bridge across the Red Bridge road adjacent to the dam, was unsafe. and that the Traction Com pany's bridge to Electric Park was also unsafe.
 Wagons coming into town and leaving town for the farm, were tied up at the bridge. A gang of bridge builders were at work upon the county bridge all day. and got it into pass able condition by nightfall.
 On the extension of Cleveland Ave- nue. the Genetta Ditch spread over the truck farm lands to a depth of several feet. completely running the early cul- uvation for the spring markets.
 Trains Held Up.

The bridge across Nor tar Creek. in Fillmore County. was un- dermined by the heavy fall of rain, and the local to Birmingham yester- day morning at 2 o'clock returned It's passengers to-the city, after making the trip to the wrecked structure, about twelve miles from Montgomery.
