TAFT SPOKE On
FREE RELIGION
Believes in Right of Every
One to Worship As He
Pleases

Norwich, Conn.,, July 6.-President
Taft was the chief figure today in the
celebration of the 250th anniversary
of this historic old New England
town. In an address to the people,
after fine military parade and civic
display, the president, finding a theme
in the church influence in the founda-
tion of Norwich, took occasion to ex-
press his views or. the liberty of
religious belief.
He pleaded that every man should
be allowed to worship God in his own
way. The president declared amid
laughter that the American forefa.
theirs came to this country ostensibly
to escape religious intolerance, but as
matter OF fact in order that they
might follow out their own religious
ideas in their own way and with q
large degree of intolerance toward
any other form of belief.
I'VE have passed beyond that now, "
said the president, "and are coming
more and more to realize the right of
the individual to worship God as he
may choose"
The presidents address, befitting
the occasion. was largely historical in
character. The day was repleto with
historic incidents. An open air
pageant during the morning depicted
scenes leading down from the wars
between the Mohegan and Narragan-
sett tribes of Indians, through tine
purchase of the site of NorWichtoWn
from Uncas, to revolutionary days,
the welcome to Washington, the re-
turn OF the soldiers from the civil
war, the dawn of peace, the present
day and the hopes cf the future. The
pageant held on e grassy plot sur.
rounded by giant trees was pre-
tentious undertaking. Several hum
dred persons took part in the
tableaux, the Indian dances. the bat
tie between the tribes, the capture of
Miantononoh by Uncas, the death OF
the former, and the portrayal OF the
march of historic events. The fight
between the Indians was carried out
with great fidelity and while the
president looked on the mock Uncas
supposedly cut from the shoulder of
the dead enemy a piece OF flesh and
ate it with every evidence of delight.
1t is related OF Uncas that he after
ward said that this was the sweetest
meat he had ever tasted and that it
made his heart strong.
After witnessing the pageant, tho
president was driven to the grave OF
Uncas in Sachem street, where a
monument stands to his memory as a
good friend Of the white man. Tho
president was also shown many 9th.
er points of interest 1t seemed that
nearly every building in the city was
of sufficient historic worth to bear q
descriptive placard.
The president on arriving from
Beverly by special train at 10 a. m.
was driven direct to tho pageants at
Rockwell terrace After his sight
seeing tour he lunched with w. Tracy
Williams at Yantic.
Later he reviewed parade which
was notable in many features. ad.
dressed the people from the review
ing stand. held reception in thu
Buckingham Memorial. and witnessed
yesterday a brilliant display OF fire.
works. Tho president left late last
night for Albany, N. Y, where he
was joined today by other prom"
inent guests enroute to the ter
centenary celebration at Lake Champ

Search For Witnesses
In The Cooper Trial

Nashville, Nfarrff' s.--After strenuous
recess day on the part of counsel on
both sides in the Cooper-Sharp trial for
the murder of former United States Sen
ator z. w. Carmack only two facts de-
veloped. One was that s. ]. Benning,
the mysterious witness for the defense,
who claimed he saw Senator Carmac1
revolving the cylinder of a gun which
will not revolve, will be recalled for fur
ther cross-examination by the state The
other was the feverish activity of the
special agents or secret police of the
prosecution. 1t developed that this ac-
tivity was due to Attorney General Nc
Carn's belief that he had discovered a clue
to the identity of one of three mysterious
men who would make valuable witnesses
for the prosecution.
On the day of Carmack's death-early
in the day-three men visited the office
of the Nashville Tennessean, of which
Senator Carmack was editor. Each of
these men asked at the business office
If the clerk could give him Mr.. Car
mack's address and IL he knew about
what time the senatot went home each
afternoon. Two of the men called in
the morning or before noon. The CLERKS
in the counting room did not know
where Carmack lived. But after the Sec
ond inquiry they secured the information
and when the third man appeared, after
p. M, they gave him the address.

SALARY OF TAFT
WILL BE $4,000


Washington, March 8.-The salary of
the President of the United States has
been definitely fixed at $4,000 per annum
without any additional allowances for
travelling expenses. This conclusion was
arrived at during the day and night by
two conference committees of the two
houses of Congress, one on the legisla-
tive, executive and judicial bill, and the
other on the sundry civil appropriation
bill Originally the Senate inserted an
amendment in the legislative bill giving
the President a salary of 100000 year.
The House reduced the amount to $4,000
and the conference on that measure re-
suited in the retention of the House fig
ures. Anticipating the possibility of this
conclusion with reference to the salary
the Senate inserted in the sundry civil
bill provision appropriating $4,000 for
the payment of the Presidents travelling
expenses. Late tonight the Senate also
receded from this amendment, thus leav-
ing a fiat salary of $4,000 for the Presi-
dent, out of which he must pay his own
way when travelling The Senate lost all
of its other amendments for increase of
salaries for high officials, such as the
Vice President, the speaker of the House,
and the supreme court judges

Our clue is very vague" said Attorney
General McCarn tonight, "and / doubt
If we will be able to use the informa-
tion. We know that the inquiries were
made and can prove it. And unless we
can identify the men who made them
and further connect them directly with
conspiracy to murder Senator Carma ck
under our laws, we could not offer the
testimony-even of the Tennessean en-
ployes. We are sparing no pains to
identify the men. however, despite the
apparent hopelessness of the task or
course even if we identify the men, they
will deny the charge and we might not
be able to connect them with the de-
fendants.'
Counsel for defense were not less ac-
tive. Old and new witnesses visited their
offices all day and a number of new
subpoenaes were issued on their be-
half
1t became generally known today that
counsel for the prosecution would not
cross-examine either Gov NJ r. Patter-
son or Adjt.-Gen. Tully Brown. At the
same time it became just as well known
that the attorneys for the state disagreed
as to the wisdom of this proceeding. At
least two of the attorneys for the prose-
cuton are strong political enemies of
the chief executive. These favored grill
ing the governor. The others, however,
objected for two reasons First, they
considered that the governor S testimony
simply corroborated that of other wit
nesses as to the famous conferences the
day of the tragedy These conferences
the state admits took place Secondly, of
the twelve jurors, nine are Patterson sup
porters and it was not deemed advis-
able to attack the governor on this ac-
count

and at the same time he received the
friends and neighbors of Vice Presi-
dent-elect Sherman. After this he
shook hands with the Hamilton club
of Chicago.
Last Roosevelt Dinner.
The last Roosevelt dinner in the
White House was served at o'clock
tonight with IA persons present, con-
sistfng Of members of the families of
the retiring and incoming Presidents.
Mr.. and Mrs. Taft were the principal
guests None of the Roosevelt chill
dren were present, and the Taft chill
dren spent the night at the Boardman
residence.
Miss Ethel Roosevelt left Washing
ton today for Oyster Bay. Quentin
Roosevelt will remain at school in
Alexandria. Va, until the close of the
school year.
The most affecting of all the fare
wells at the White House was when
the President called all the clerks,
messengers and other attaches of his
executive staff into his office late to-
day. He told them how he appreciated
the way they had assisted him in the
services of his administration. Both
he and themselves, he declared, had
worked in a common cause Tor the
welfare of the nation and both had
done their best. He wished them al
farewell and good luck. Then with
each of them he sh ook hands and there
were many to whose eyes tears came.
There were a number of attaches re-
membered by the President by per-
sonal gifts.
At 5:15 o'clock the President left his
Offices for the last time. His work
there is done and whatever work he
may do tomorrow will be executed In
the Presidents room at the capitol.
