Des Moines, Iowa. Sept. 20.-Deafen-
ang cheers from thousands Of throats
greeted President Taft when he arriv-
ed here at seven o'clock this morning.
Senators Cummins and Dolliver we're
on the committee Of escort. President
Taft breakfasted at the Cummins
home. After reviewing six thousand
federal troops. which passed the re-
viewing stand in front Of the capitol
building, Taft delivered fifteen min
ute speech. declaring his opposition to
specifically exempting labor unions
from the operation Of the antitrust
law, but believed it should not include
the labor boycott. The trend OF the
speech indicated that the boycott
should be regarded as q perfectly le-
gal and legitimate weapon.
Against Common Practice.
He also spoke against over-capital-
axation Of railroads and control by one
railroad of the stock of another. He
also declared for the creation Of an
Interstate commerce court Of five
members. to whom appeals may be
made against rulings Of the interstate
commerce commission.
Much excitement was caused on the
presidential special train early this
morning when the interior wood work
OF the private car "Mayflower" was
found to be smouldering and had fill
ed the car with smoke. A spark was
probably the cause Of the fire, which
burned hole foot square but was
quickly extinEuished by tles train crew
after the discovery.
The weather today was faultless.
The presidents next stop is Omaha.

General Delivery Window Is
Barred to Them to Prevent
Them Leaving Straight and
Narrow Path.
MANY CALL FOR MAIL
FROM SECRET LOVERS
In the Future General Delivery
Will Be Conducted Solely
For the Benefit of The
TranSientS.

The practice of Richmond girls, yet
in their teens, in securing their mail
at the general delivery window of tho
postoffice, will be stopped by Postmas-
ter J. A. Spekenhier, because it is
known that many Of the girls are
prompted by no moral purpose IN har.
ing their mail addressed to them in
care of the general delivery. An or
der has been issued by Mr.. Spekenhier
In which he instructs the clerks to re-
fuse to deliver mail to girls at the gen.
eral delivery office.
While the order is also effective
against transients who remain in the
city more than 80 days. yet it is d.
rected primarily toward the young
girls. Youthful misses who appear in
the future for their mail will be referr-
ed to the postmaster. Mr.. Spelzenhier
has had several visits already from
young girls to whom the clerks refused
to give mail at the general delivery Of
flee. In each case the reasons why
the girls desired to secure their mail
was not a legitimate one.
Call to Get Love Letters.
In the majority of instances girls
call at the postoffice for mail from
young men who are Objectionable to
the parents OF the young women.
Mr.. Spekenhier said today that the
general delivery office was for the &C
commodation Of transients, who are in
the city less than thirty days. It
would not pay the officials to have
the mail of these transients delivered
by carrier because they stay in the city
too short time. However. in the

TALKS 70 JAPANESE.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Sept. 2O.-The
war that is to be fought out between
Japan and the United States, President
Taft Sunday declared. is commercial
war.
He grasped the hand of fellowship
and peace that was extended him by
that IL touring the country and at the
same time warned them to look out for
us. since American business men are
,at last awakening to the demands of
/ the Oriental trade, and are up and do
ing. Baron Shibusawa. who 10 chair
man Of the Japanese commission,
pledged the old-time .ffection between
Japan and the United States as an as
surance Of peace between the two ma
tions in the future.
Mr.. Taft humorously laid all the war
talk to the newspapers which, he de-
clared, were also now. reconciled to the
fact that there woula be no armed
clash.
II was q veritable Japanese-American
peace conference that the President
presided over, appropriately arranged
for Sunday with an iderl setting In the
Lafayette club. on the shore Of beauti-
ful Lake Minnetonka, 20 miles out
from Minneapolis.
70 Health Of the President.
The health OF the president was
drunk amid banzais from the throats
Of 50 merchants from Nippon and then
the health OF the Japanese Emperor
was pledged to an accompaniment Of
several hundred lust American cheers.
The president is happiest when dis
cussing Oriental questions. His term
a. governor Of the Philippines has left
permanently in his blood the voices Of
the East Wherefore his speech yes
terday was In his happiest vein. Out
Of his knowledge OF far Eastern affairs
he warned American business men Ct
the dangerous competition they must
meet from Japan; at the same time he
warned the visitors that the Americans
are 1t least on the move. He COM
plimented the Japanese on their PROV
ess IN war and declared that Japan,
having demonstrated her national spir-
II In this manner, 1t was natural con-
sequence that she should now be NOV
ing forward-that she has moved for
ward with giant strides-in the ways
and accomplishments OF peace.
Throughout the presidents address
was . warning to business men In
America that Q powerful foe has enter
ed the field and that the new condi-
tions must be met-that Japan must be
fought within her own field-if one Of

The ravages OF the elm tree pest and

cause for much apprehension. Should

Of these tragedies, and more are threat

cause the naples have been more gen

were stolen from their parents on Au-
gust 2 last, and who were found on the
sidewalk In Chicago by a policeman
yesterday, were again clasped in the

The mothers OF the youngsters, who
are cousins and scarcely more than
babies, remained at st. Louis to pre-
pare q warm welcome.

clared that no ransom had been paid.
Both asserted that they would bend

A clue that may prove OF value was
furnished today by John Rayburn,

accompanied by an Italian, on the day

When the train reached Chicago the
italian inquired the way to Jefferson

49,
New York, Oct. 19.-Bradstreet's to-
day says:
Improvement is the order OF the day
in trade, collection and industry. Colder
weather, freezing temperature, light
SHOWS or killing frosts, coupled with
freer crop movement, have helped retail
trade and collections at the west and
\ northwest. Jobbfng trade has been
coincidentally benefited by bordering
to hll broken stocks and the distribu-
1 v trade side accordingly presents a
favorable appearance. Trade at first
hands feels the stimulus in more conf
dent buying for spring, though the I'M
settlement in the dry goods trade, due
Of curtaiIment, still fetards trade in
this line. However, the tendency Of
cotton goods is ~undeniably upwards,
and buying appears slightly more con-
6dent at the higher prices asked. From
Industrial lines the same story of full
order books and Of longer hours now
comes, pay rolls are expanding and
available skilled labor Is reported close
.ly employed, with less idleness noted
than for two years past. The iron and
steel, coke, machinery and automobile
industries this week return especially
good reports as to activity, and there
is noted a greater scarcity Of skilled
labor. The coal trade shows more
activity, though prices are still COM
planned of as too low, and there is a
greater scarcity of cars noted in this
and In the lumber trade. The COM
modify price situation shows signs OF
increased strength" 81,
r, G. Dun's weekly review says:
Trade In wide clothes continues ac-
tive and prices are fully on a level with
the cotton market. Export trade is
limited by the higher prices. Foreign
shipments of domestics from New York
this year to date are 312,863 bales.
against 144,S7S a year ago. Dress goods
are moving better for immediate use,
and woolens in mems wear have been
purchased literally. Advances in for
eign and domestic lines of woolens and
worsteds are being announced. Hosiery
Rnd underwear are higher and more
active.
""The footwear market is steadily inn
proving, but the price question con-
tinues to retard business, and some
branches Of the trade continue quiet.
Staple lines Of heavy goods for mems
wear receive the chief amount of at
tention at present, but there Is a better
demand this week for mems medium
and fine grades.
Pronounced strength continues to
rule in all kinds of hides, and further
advances are being secured in both
foreign n domestic stock. The leather
trade continues slowly to improve, but
there is no great activity as yet, al
though prices have stiffened about /

cesstve and the commission so decided.
The railroads asked the commission
for an extension OF time to perfect an
appeal. They have not fled the papers,
but have decided not to ask an In
junction pending an appeal. and will
put the rates in effect October 20.
The action indicates that the roads
are likely to continue the rates, as the

The decisions OF these two cases, IL
