TAFT UNABLE TO
 ATTEND DINNER
Governors of g States All Broke Up Over the
 Announcement
SPREAD WAS PREPARED
Especial from United Press.)

On board the steamer St. Paul in Mississippi river, Oct. 26.-Trouble fell in chunks on board the governors boat soon after she left St. Louis last night and President Taft was the cause of 1t all. The St. Paul, carrying the governors of B states,' according to the literature printed by the Business Mems League. of St. Louis. was the next in line behind the Presidents steamer the Oleander, and for an hour Or so after leaving St. Louis all was oy and comfort on board
 The white bedecked walters hustled around the long cabin selling one hun dred plates and arranging the covers on the snowy board which extended from one end to the other of the saloon while the band began tuning up for the feast moldy that was to accom- pany the banquet of foods and liquors.
 The President of the United States was. due ats $50 D. m. according to program. By 6:3O p. n., most of the governors were in their staterooms struggling with "boiled shirts and re- fractionary collars. Suddenly there was shrielSing of whistles on the riv- delivering a gaphone message from the Oleander to the St. Paul.
 '"The President will not be able to attend dinner on the St. Paul tonight" the FOlce shouted. His throat is too sore. He will be with you some oth- CT night this week."
 Had the Oleander fired a 13 inch shell into the hull of the St. Paul it could hardly have caused more con- sternation on the governors boat From one end of the craft to the other the news spread like wildfire. The govern ors threw their dress suits into their steamer trunks and the white bosom ed walters carried the news to the chef in the galley.
 Orders were hastily issued by James E. Smith, president of the New Orleans League to save the victuals at all haz- ards for this evening" tomorrow or such other evening as the President might decide to come aboard, as there will be no opportunity to replace between here and Memphis The ices were repacked, and salads chucked in- to cold water and the half baked meats were slowed away where it was hop ed they would not spoil.
 Meanwhile MT. Taft blissfully uncon- scious of the trouble he had made on the St. Paul, was quietly playing bridge on board the Cleander. The Oieander arrived st Cape Girardeau shortly before daylight today Taft was at once taken to the scene of his before daylight speech by the local reception committee.

ANOTHER HIGH
 SOCIETY DIVORCE
Reported Col. John Jacob Astor's Wife Is Suing for
 Legal Separation
LEADER OF NEW YORK 400

New York, Oct 26.-None of those interested would today discuss the report that Mrs. John Jacob Astor, leader of the New York 400 and one of the most beautiful of the younger rnatrons of American society. is suing her husband, Colonel John Jacob As- tor for a legal separation. Mrs. AS tor is in seclusion in the country, the referee who is said to have been de- sigEated to hear the testimony, c. H. Young, has left town and refuses to talk and Mrs. Astors attorney was re- ported out of town.
 Mrs. Astor as Miss Ava Willing. daughter of Edward S. Willing of Philadelphia and others of her ances- tors have been prominent in American history and as girl she was consid- cred the most beautiful in the Quaker City. She married Colonel Astor in 1891 and they have two children, Will liam Vincent Astor IT, and Alice '.
 Colonel John Jacob Astor is a great grandson of the founder of the Astor fortunes and was born at Rhnebreck, N Y, in 1864. He is interested in corporations whose capital aggregates s20O, ,O00, 600 and is a member of nearly every prominent club in New York.
 During the Spanish-American war he served as lieutenant colonel of volun- teers on the staff of General Shafter and Breckenbridge. He also furnish ed at his own expense the famous mountain battery which did such good work in the Philippines.

A true Bridgeporter is Stephen F. Boucher. Young. vigorous and aggres- sive, he has already been signally hon. ored by an election to the House of Representatives of the General As sambly. where he served with fidelity. His nomination for city clerk is equivalent to an election. for the req soE this year the tide of public favor is set strongly toward the Democratic party and because in the past MT.
