Cincinnati. o. July 12.-The pres.
ence Of 80 canary birds as a part of
the choir and participating In the
musical program. constituted q
unique and novel innovation in the
regular religious services at Lincoln
Park Institutional Baptist church.

the use Of the canaries along with
the choir voices and the great church

the choir service. VIZ.

Washington. July 12.---Indications
multiply that President Taft's an.
nounced itinerary for his western
and southern trip this fall will be
materially extended. The president
himself did not include in the tenta.
tive list which was published all of
the places where he expects to stop
long enough to make an address and
hold a brief carend reception. The
Itinerary was made up OF those cities
where the president will spend from
one to three days.
Strong efforts will be made by con.
gressmen and state officials to have
the president stop. for a few minutes
at least. at nearly all of the towns of
appreciable size through which his
train will pass in the daylight hours.
Already the president has been bonn.
barded with such requests. He has
suggested to all Of his callers and
correspondents that they take the
matter up with him later In the sum
mer when the detailed plans for the
trip actually are under consideration.
During the trips he has made thus
far the president has adhered to the
policy OF Journeying In a single pri.
vate car attached to regular trains.
The trips have been comparatively
short, however, and on them the
president has been bothered with as
little public business as possible.
Secretary Carpenter has remained
behind at the White House to look
after routine affairs. and has commu-
nicated with the president only at
rare intervals. On his far western
trip, however, where trains are run
heavier and at longer intervals than
here In the east. 1t is more than
likely that the president will Lave to
charter special train.
The president expects to be away
for two months on this trip and will
have TO carry complement OF stem
ographers. clerks and telegraphers in
addition to his secretaries. Thus far
the presidential party has been con.
fined to the chief executive. Captain
Archibald w. Butt, his military aide;
Assistant Secretary Micheler. Major
Arthur Brooks, who in addition to
being the presidents confidential
messenger is commanding officer OF
the First separate battalion OF col.
ored troops In the District OF Colum-
bia, and two secret service men.

dent Roosevelt for seven years, and

Sydney, C. b., July 12.-.Unable to
cope with the lawlessness of strike
rioters at the Inverness colliery
Mayor d. II. Mcleod was forced to
call troops from Halifax to restore
order. The Inverness colliery is
owned by the firm OF Mackenzie &
Mann, which is not connected In any
way with the Dominion Coal com.
pany, against which the Glace Bay
strike is aimed. but about half the
men at the Inverness colliery belong
to the United Mine Workers Of
America. and they went out on a
sympathetic strike last Friday.
The men Of the Provincial Work
ingmen's association continued at
work in the mine. but when they
were leaving the workings for their
homes they were met by crowd Of
300 men, boys and women, mostly
Belgians, who saluted them with
various epithets. Stones and sticks
began to fly, and one Provincial
Workingmen's association miner was
struck on the side of the head and
received a bad cut.
The mayor and members of the
town council, with 80 special and
regular policemen, tried in vain to
keep the crowd in order. The dis.
turbance continued until the work
men had gained the shelter of their
homes. When General Manager Bar
clay Of the colliery arrived IN town
he asked that troops be sent for to
maintain order and the mayor com
piled with tile request. A special
train from Halifax arrived with $50
men from the Royal Canadian regi.
ment, who at once went on guard at
the colliery. There was no disturb
ance about the place.
