MIR. TAFTIN new ORLEANS

Spends Saturday and Sunday In
Strenuous Program and is Tired
Out at Seeing the Sights and En-
joying His Glad Reception.
New Orleans, Special.-President
Taft arrived in New Orleans Satur-
day to renew old acquaintance and
to enjoy two days Of the hospitality
which he declared a few days ago he
both 'longed for and feared" From
the moment of his arrival at 1890
p. NJ, on the lighthouse tender Olean-
der, which led a long trailing feet Of
river packets into port, the. President
was kept on the go until past mid
night Saturday night.
He ended his river trip with an ad-
dress before the waterways conven-
tion in the afternoon in which he re-
iterated what he said before, that he
favors the issuance Of bonds to carry
forward every deep waterway pro-
ject which shalt be approved by a
competent board Of engineers as prac-
ticable and can be shown to be neces-
sary to'take car of the growing COM
merce of the sections.
This address concluded, the Presi-
dent became the guest Of the city. He
lunched with Archbishop Blenk at the
latter's palace, attended two foot
ball games, had a dinner given in his
honor at the Pickwick Club Saturday
night and went direct from there to a
gala performance of 'tLes Hugenots''
at the French opera house. A little
supper at a famous French restau-
rant after the opera brought the
Chief Executives busy day to a close.
He thoroughly enjoyed his four
and a half nights and five days on the
Mississippi river. And, although he
has learned much of the difficulty that
must be encountered in attempting to
control that powerful waterway, he
seemed Saturday to be just as enthu-
siastic as ever in the belief that the
Mississippi can be made to recognize
a channel deep enough to handle all
Of the commerce that csn be assigned
to it.
President Taft went to bed on his
train Sunday night a thoroughly tired
man. His New Orleans friends kept
him on the go nearly all day long. He
made two speeches during the after
noon, visited the naval station and
Jackson barracks, rode through the
interesting old French quarter of the
city and attended a sacred concert on
the campus of Tulane University.
This day of .strenuousness, following
the activities and entertainments of
Saturday, which did not end until 3
o'clock Sunday morning when supper
