WISDOM OF THE FATHERS
Complimented By the Presi- dent in a Talk on the Con stitution Which He De- clares is to Be Changed With Great Reluctance

Savannah. Ga Nov 4-ReaI mint julep failed to tempt President Taft at Macon today. It had been brewed with consummate skill and reposed apparently harmless in a green top- ped glass that had barnacles frosting on the outside. It was placed before the president at breakfast at the Cart lett home.
 This is what the president did: He looked at the inviting mixture, smiled and then got busy with a bountiful southern breakfast. He had plenty to eat. including waffles. quail. fried chicken, sausage. steak. broiled ham, broiled chicken and grits.
 If this Is what you call breakfast. I wonder what a dinner would be like" commented the president The mint julep remained in the glass when the president left the table Its ulti- mate fate is bit uncertain, but MT. Taft did not drink it. that much is sure.
 The presidents principal utterance was at Macon. He sought to define more exactly than he has in the past Nhc hihihdbiotS pidttu upOh tir tNttu- tive and that the responsibility should not rest upon congress. T doubt not after l am out of office" he said that I shall be able to look back and see where I might have done things in the exercise of power that would have filled me with a consciousness of the righteousness of it. but I am bound to say that under the existing circumA stances. the thing which impresses me most is not the power have to exer- else under the constitution. but the limitations and restrictions to which am subject.
 But our forefathers builded well. and they knew what they were doing. and l am not in favor, even if 1t seems to me that a particular provis- ion ought to be omitted. of changing the constitution where 1t runs against a sharp edge of something that in dicates that you are only mortal and that your forefathers in making the constitution distrusted your human nature"
 MT. Taft arrived here at 7:45 to- night He will remain here until tomorrow He is due to arrive at Washington next Wednesday evening. The president was the guest of honor at an elaborate banquet tonight. May or George W. Tidemann, was toast master.

IN NORTH POLE QUARREL
It Declines to Become a Me dium Through Which a Request For the Records of Dr. Cook Will Be Transmitted

Washington. Nov. 4-Refusing t. be drawn into the Cook Peary north pole controversy. the state department today declined the request that it ca ble American Minister Egan at Co., penhagen to request the University of Copenhagen for permission to ex- anime the records of Dr. Cook when they are submitted to that institu- ton. The request was made by a delegation from the National Geo. graphical society, which will appoint a committee to visit the foremost Danish scientific institution to which Dr. Cook is to submit his records The request was made on the ground that the examination would be by scientists of attachments particularly valuable in the adjustment of the polar problem The department took the request under advisement and later decided that il could not accede to it. It was felt that such action would constitute an official recog- nition of Commander Peary as against Dr. Cook.
 The members of the committee which will go to Copenhagen for the geographical society will be provided with the usual letters of introduction from the state department to the American diplomatic officers abroad, all the courtesies or assistance pos- sible. consistent with the -offical du- ties of the diplomatic department.

THE FASTEST BATTlESH|P
 or DREAON0UGHT TYPE
THE GREAT PERFORMANCE OF
 THE NORTH DAKOTA
One of the Two Most Powerful Fight
 ing Machines in the World.

Rockland. Me, Nov. 4.-The North Dakota is the fastest battleship of the Dreadnaught type afloat, as well as one of the two most powerful ships in the world. Her screw standard tests over the Rockland measured course of one mile today developed maxi mum speed Of 2z.Z5 knots. an average of 21S33. Both marks are in excess of the best performances of either her sister ship. the Delaware. or the Bel lerophon. the fastest dreadnaught of the British navy.
 In attaining this surprising speed the turbine engines of the North Da- kota were forced to the development of more horsepower than had been reached by any battleship afloat A maximum of 35.150 horsepower was recorded. while 3s.S75 horsepower was the mean amount. The maximum number of revolutions of her nickel composition propellers was 2S6 per minute.
 The North Dakota by her perform ance today takes precedence as a gen. eral first class battleship. The fig ures recorded for the North Dakota today surpass those of any other dreadnaught.
 But one such battleship is afloat whose attainments may exceed those of the North Dakota. This Is the Neptune. just launched for the Brit ish navy. The Neptune. however. will have to attain figures much in excess of its specifications to accomplish this The Bellerophon of the British navy has made but 22.1 knots.
 Captain Edward H Evans was in charge of the North Dakota today and with working crew of 400 men push ed the vessel to her record perform ance. Beginning at o'clock tomor- row the North Dakota is 10 be put through a second test, a four hour run at q knots. It is expected that an average of about 21.75 knots will be developed. The run will end off Boston Light, where the North Dakota will anchor and prepare for her "A hour run at F knots. Following this she will go under another 24 hour test at l9 knots Within six months it is expected that the North Dakota and the Delaware will take their places in the van of the American navys sea fighters and will then rank as the greatest battleships in commission throughout the world

 will eventually take up the matter and
 solve it as successfully as it is now
 handling the Panama project. but 1t
 will take lots of time and a vast
 expenditure of money. But however
 much he became enthused over deep
 waterways, said the governor. the study of that question was not the
 primary purpose of his trip. which was to avail himself of the oppor- tunities it afforded to create a lively sentiment in favor of statehood and the development of the resources and industries of Arizona He says he does not know how much he accom- plished. but he says he does know that he improved every reasonable to place the merits of Arizona before the influential gentle men with whom he was in almost constant contact
 Concerning statehood. he says that everything he heard on the subject was most encouraging from the mem- bers of the governors party as well as that of the presidents party. He found many who were unadvised as lO lnt lltUtSs UT DOln ttrTltoIlcs for admission. but all seemed to be desirous of knowing the facts and a general good feeling to- ward Arizona.
 The governor was reminded of the New Mexico incident on the occasion of the banquet to the president. He that it was to be regretted. but said he did not care to further discuss it. Speaking of the presidents rip through Arizona. and of some of the critical reports sent out by some 1f the press correspondents. the gov arnor said he was pleased to he able to say that the president per assured him that he had en- joyed the trip and that he was well pleased with the hospitable manner in which he had been received and en- tertained.

BRITISH EMBASSY
BLAAES TRUSTS

AS the result Of long and pains
taking investigation of the conditions
in this country in connection with the
alleged Beef trust the British en-
bassy has forwarded to the government
of Great Britain report that the opera
tons of the trust result in England
getting an inferior quality of beef.
The report was prepared by George
Young, second secretary OF the en-
bassy, and a member OF the Victorian
order
Alarmed by the rumors that the Beef
trust controlled the prices and the
quality of meat products. the British
government some months ago instructed
the embassy here TO investigate the
situation thoroughly and 10 report find
ings.
Mr.. Young reports that the trust
keeps prices at a reasonable figure. but
that il sends an inferior kind OF beef
10 the country which is the most famous
consumer of beef in the world He de-
votes particular attention TO the Ma
tlonaI Packing Company, which is now
under investigation by the Department
of Justice through District Attorney
Sims.
The action Of the British embassy in
sending such report TO the home gov
eminent, viii, 1t is thought result In
all the more activity on the part of
this country to determine whether any
legal proceedings can be had in order
10 control better the operations Of the
trust Whether the government OF
Great Britain will take any action on
che matter. is not yet known, but il
rs feared in certain quarters that the
report may result IN more or less dam
age to the commercial relations Of the
United states with England
Its principal effect viii be to direct
public attention in this country TO the
beef situation.
