TAFT CHANGES MEAL HOURS.
Senator Root Makes Hurried Private
Call at White House.

President Taft for the first time in
weeks enjoyed an early luncheon yester-
day when he joined his wife and brother.
c. P. Taft. in the dining-room Of the
White House az 2.30 O'Clock. From now
on the President expects 10 enjoy his MID
day meal at 100 o'clock. which he has not
been able 10 do heretofore.
White House callers included Senators
Johnston and Taliaferro, Of Florida. who
requested the President to grant pardon
20 W. H. Harland, Of Lockport. Ala.
lately convicted OF peonage at Pensacola,
Fla, and sentenced TO serve eighteen
months in the Atlanta penitentiary. Har-
lands friends claim he IS not guilty OF
the charge. and the President has prom
ised 70 investigate.
Other callers were Justice Holmes, Of
the United States Supreme Court; Mrs.
Genevieve Longield Lane, who conveyed
/ the best wishes OF the Women OF the
Grand Army OF the Republic, OF which
[ organization she IS president. and Sena-
tor Root, OF New York. who had a con-
| ference with Mr. Taft and then hurried
20 the Senate, refusing 20 make public the
nature Of his call. He thought Congress
would be through with the tariff debate
by July l.
Important changes in the scope and
character Of the supervision exercised by
the government AT Washington on the
outlying territories OF the United states
are contemplated by President TafI-
While Il IS too early 10 say what plan
the President Will propose 10 bring about
improved conditions in these territories,
il is evident he has IN mind the creation
OF an Office Of territorial affairs. which
viii direct and supervise the administra-
tive work Of the territorial governments
and which viii have a greater degree OF
authority over them than is now exercised.
President Taft cabled congratulations
to the American League Of Free Masons
on the occasion Of the conservation in
London last night. He felicitated the
league on its creation as additional evi-
dence Of British good feeling toward the
United States, and as an additional bond
between English and American Masons
and the English and American nations.

NAY CAUSE NATIONAL CLASH
-Four Stowaways Held by United
States Authorities.
All Moscow Graduates, and Are
Accused of COnspiring 10
Kill the Czar.

New York. June 3.-Four stowaways
who arrived sunday from Lfbau by the
steamship Russia. OF the Russian-Ameri-
can Line. according 10 a story that was
half revealed to-day by the attorney for
persons who want 10 have the stOwaways
landed, may involve the United States
and Russian-so II is hinted-in trouble
that will call for diplomatic action.
The story. as suggested by the attor-
ney, who was interested in the case OF
Jan Pouren. IS that the four men. all
young. are graduates Of the University
OF Moscow. and are accused Of being in
volved IN a plot 70 XIII the Gar. They
are not Russian Jews. as most stowaways
have been who have tried TO enter this
port from Russia, but Christian folk
The names they give are Ivan Maslenni-
kof, Constantine Grueff, Fedor Kasini-
rofr. and Ivan Torinkin. one OF them.
the attorney said, hopes 10 become a
priest Of the Greek church. Because the
publication OF the story might put in
jeopardy the lives Of the four men. the
attorney declined 20 give more than is
intimated herein about II. except that a
dispatch had been sent from St Peters
burg 10 the Russian Embassy at Wash
ington, telling Of the departure from
Libau Of the four men, and asking that
they be held I'D here
Max Straus. representing the Russian
American Line. said-the facts in the case
were somewhat different from the story
which. Mr.. Straus said, were made out OF
whole cloth.
Mr.. StraUs says the stOwaways have
not a cent among them and that they
are not students, but commonplace Rus
SLAMS, and that. moreover. they are az
hicted with trachoma. which would de-
bar them anyway if tEey did succeed in
getting to Ellis Island.

SALISBURY, N. c., AUGUST II, 1909

Quite a number of very favor
able comments were made on the
appearance of the court house, in
terror and exterior, last Thursday
night, when d. A. Tompkins
spoke to a number of our citizens
there. The auditorium and halls
had been thoroughly cleaned and
the old dingy, smoking lights we're
replaced by others more suitable,
cheerful and worthy of our COM
munity. For this improvement
the city and county is indebted to
the foresight of Sheriff Mckenzie,
the enterprise of Chairman of the
County commissioners, Beard,
and the splendid services of the
careful and ever busy ianitor, Mr..
Lentz.

hundreds of miles through the
corn belt, what becomes of the

600, 900 bushels we're consumed in
flour and grist mill products; S.
600, 900 bushels in the manufac-
ture of starch; 5000, 900 bushels
for malt liquors; II, 600, 900 bush
els in the production of distilled
liquors; 40 1000, 900 bushels for
glucose; $780, 900, 900 bushels for
export, and 13,000,O 900 bushels for
seed, making a total of 51S, 000,-
