TAFT WILL REMAIN
TO CONGRESS- CLOSE

WARRINGTON. June 1e-President
Taft has given up the notion that he
will be able to leave Washington for the
summer on July g. Accordingly, II has
been announced at the white house today
that on that date the president Will take
Mrs Taft and the children to Beverly
Mass, and then after filling several en-
gagements that has been made, will re-
turn to Washington and stick 1t out alone
at the white house until congress gets
ready to quit.
Senator owen, of Oklahoma, Democrat,
said today, he believed congress would
end It's work by July 10, but that Is the
earliest date yet put forward since the
complications injected by the president s
special message.
DELAYED BY ENGAGEMENTS.
The president will take his family TO
Beverly the first of July. were it not for
engagements to speak at the unwilling
of the Stephenson G. A. r. medal In
this city July 8. After the Stephenson
exercises the president will take the
train for Massachusetts,.
After locating his family at Beverly the
president will go to Norwich, Conn.,, July
to attend a celebration of the 25Oth an
niversary of the founding Of that city.
From Norwich the president will go TO
Albany, n. Y, where he will be joined
by the New 1OTk StdIS COiAliiAthSC ia
charge of the New York features in con-
nection with the ter-centenary celebra-
ton at Lake Champlain. The president
will spend the afternoon Of July at
Fort Ticonderoga, and July in and
around Plattsburg. July the scene OF
the celebration shifts to Burlington, Vt,
where the president again will be the
guest of honor. Leaving Burlington that
night the president will be back in Wash
ington some time the 9Th.
MRS TAFT IMPROVES.
Mrs Tafts health is improving so that
the president RAY be able to make his
contemplated western trip If congress adj
journs in time to give him a rest before
starting on such a long journey.
But IL the president is kept in Wash
ington until late in the summer as now
appears, probably, he will not be dis
posed to leave for the west without get
ting a much-needed rest. Under the
circumstances the western trip begins to
look less probable than it did some time
ago.

REGISTRATION LAW
CAN'T BE CHANGED

When effort Is made in the legislature
this summer to eliminate that provision
of the new registration law, which re-
quires that voters must qualify six
months previous to general elections, the
constitution of the state may present an
insurmountable stumbling block. The or
Ganic law, thanks to the Acknowledgement
amendment passed at the session Of 1907
and subsequently ratified by the people,
provides that taxes must be paid six
months in advance of general elections, to
qualify voters for participation. The new
registration law conforms to this con-
stitutional provision, and II the law Is
amended 1t will amount to nothing un-
less the state constitution is also amend
ed.
The incoming administration, 1t has
been stated and reiterated many times,
purposes to amend the new registration
law, so that the six months requirement
will be eliminated, and, in its stead, reg
istration for elections allowed to continue
10 within q comparatively Few days OF
the election. Amendments OF this KIND
have already been prepared, 1t is said
indeed, It has been stated that one leg
islator proposes to urge the repeal OF
the entire law, because of the six months
requirement, which he regards as unrea-
sonable.
IT NAV be an easy matter to eliminate
the six months requirement from the
registration law, or even repeal the en-
tire act with the vigorous support OF the
administration, but the constitutional
amendment relating to disfranchisemen'
win remain a part of the organic law
and preserve the six months requirement
intact
In view of the agitation over the reg
istration law, particularly the six months
requirement, 1t is interesting to ooserVe
the language of the disfranchisement act
"a constitutional amendmenD and the
registration law itself.
Paragraph three of the Acknowledgement
amendment says:
ITO entitle a person to register ano
vote in any election by the people, ne
shall have resided within the state one
wear next preceding the election, and in
the county in which he offers to vote. six
months next preceding the election. and
shall have paid all taxes which may
have been required of him since the adop-
ton of the constitution Of 1871. that he
may have had an opportunity Of paying
agreeable to law. Such payment must
have been made at least six months prior
to the election at which he offers to vote.
except when such elections are held with
in six months from the expiration of the
time fixed by law for the payment OF
such taxes"
Now observe the following extract TAX
en- from Section 1 of the new registra-
ton law:
No one shall be allowed
to register . unless he shall have
paid all taxes due by him at least SIX
MONTHS before the date of said general
election"
The new administration is squarely
committed to the support of the disfran-
chisement amendment. When the ques-
ton was raised In the last campaign,
Governor-elect Brown declared in favor
of the amendment, and vigorously denied
that he would countenance anything cal
cuIated to break down it's effectiveness.

ON CHARGE
OF Furnishing BOY

LAKE CHARLES. La. June 1s-Rev.
J. F. Trice and Miss Elvira Youngblood.
superintendent and matron. respectively.
Of the Louisiana state orphanage, were
acquitted this afternoon when tried here
on the charge of assault and battery.
Monroe Kelley. a u year old inmate of
the orphanage. recently appeared in the
office OF the district attorney and dis
played several ugly wounds on his back.
He said that Matron YoungbloOd had
beaten him with a stick while Superin-
tendent Trice had looked on. The arrest
OF Miss YOungblood and Superintendent
Trice followed.
In discharging them today. Judge Over
ton said that yiung Kelley had undoubt-
eddy been too severely punished. but that
the orphanage bore the same relation 10
the boy that parents do to their child,
and that II the parents of Lake Charles
children were brought before him every
time they punished their offsprings, his
court would have little time for any 9TH
er business.

once socially distinguished Mrs. Smith,
Her own family is prominent in Pennsyl-
vania and Kentucky, and she came here
years ago with her first husband. Marshall
e. Maxon. When Mr.. Maxon died he left
the foundations of a substantial fortune
and a high social position for the relict.
She then married X. w. Smith, a promi-
nent man of affairs. who soon began to
write his bank balances with six figures
and at the time of his death five years ago
was one of the great f1nanciers Of the
city
Mrs. Smith forsook the brilliant social
life in which she moved and led life OF
quietude until some time I'm 1908. when she
met Baumgardner in his capacity as
cuisine employee of the Seelbach hotel
here:
Two days ago both Baumgardner and
Mrs. Smith left the city on various pre-
texes. Then came the stirring dispatches
from the capital and now Is heard the
continuous clatter of tongues.
