SON OF ILLUSTRIOUS
FAMILY IN PRISON
Officer, Said to Be Lieutenant King, Taken
Into Custody by Secret Service

King himself is a famous athlete.
hunter and polo player. His ponies
were among the best while he was sta
toned in Washington
In the career so brilliant in environ
ment and promise and so sordid in it's
climax there is a strange hiatus of two
years. There is a lapse in the period
from 1907 to 1909. According to King
himself he served for time at the
McCloud reformatory at Minneapolis,
and this. it sthought, may account
for the discrepancy.
Born at the Presidio
The records show that King was born
at the Presidio at San Francisco in 1880
His grandfather's record in the civil
war and that of his father and uncle
gained him admission to West Point
He was graduated in 1898 a member of
the famous class that left the academy
for the battlefield He served with dis
tinction in Cuba. the Philippines and In
China. He was given special mention
by General Macarthur for bravery at
Tiabuan. Later he entered the cavalry
service and then became a member of
the Philippine scouts. During the war
he was brevet captain.
Recently he was employed under the
name of Major G. s. Anderson as mill
tary instructor at the California mill
tary academy at Santa Monica. He has
been in San Francisco just week Sc

King at Sixth and Mission streets.
King refused to discuss his family af-
fairs and declared that he had simply
impersonated Lieutenant King Moffatt

WHERE IS The PLACE?
Taft RidicuIes the Idea of Transport
ing the Negroes.

New Orleans. Feb. 12.-Mr. Taft
declaring his desire to ''be the presi-
dent of all the people" and adding
that he wanted to make a plain, COM
mon sense, non-politica1 talk. told his
hearers, an audience of negroes, to-
day, that their past history had been
remarkable in showing their capacity
to develop, that their futures depend
ed not on emotionalism, but on in
dividual character, which meant hard
work and thrift. To make themselves
indispensable TO the people of the
community in which they lived was
he declared with emphasis, the only
final solution of the problem which
they faced.
He ridiculed the idea of transport
ing the negro to any other country,
asking where was the place the ten
million members of that race now
here could be placed. Education, in
dustriaI and rudimental for the great
masses and higher and special for the
leaders. he advocated, but his one
emphatic and repeated incentive first
was that individual endeavor should
be made the governing rule Of char
acter.
As to the dealing with crime he said
that If the negro wanted square deal

Boston. Feb. 1.-THE tribute of Mas-

Lincoln today was as spontaneous as
that which marked the prompt response
to his call for troops in 1861. While not
a general holiday. there were gather

THE FAMOUS ADDRESS.
At Dedication National Gene
terry. Gettysburg, Nov.
10, 1868.

Fourscore and seven years
ago our fathers brought forth
upon this continent a new ma
ton, conceived in liberty. and
dedicated to the proposition
that all men are created equal.
Now We are engaged in a
great civil war, testing whether
that nation, or any nation so
conceived and so dedicated, can
long endure. We are met on a
great battlefield of that war
We have come to dedicate a
portion of that field as a final
resting place for those who
here gave their lives that the
nation might live. It is alto
gether fitting and proper that
We should do this
But in a large sense We can
not dedicate, we can not con-
secrate, we can not haIloW this
ground. The brave men. living
and dead, who struggled here,
have consecrated it far above
our power to add or detract
The world Will little note nor
long remember what we say
here, but it can never forget
what they did here. It is for
US. the living, rather, to be
dedicated here to the unfinish-
ed work which they who
fought here have thus far so
nobly advanced. 1t is rather
for US to be here dedicated to
the great task remaining be-
fore US: that from these honor
ed dead we take increased
devotion to that cause for
which they gave the last full
measure of devotion; that we
here highly resolve that these
dead shall not have died in
vain; that this nation, under
God. shall have a new birth of
freedom; and that government
of the people, by the people,
and for the people, shall not
perish from the earth.
