PRESIDENT 1AFT'S
CHICAGO SPECIAL
Will BE Made to Small Gathering
Unless Howl Of Protest Procures
Change of Plans

CHICAGO, September 1O.-Presi-
dent Taft's Chicago speech will be
delivered to a small and select gath
ering in Orchestra hall unless a pre-
vailing howl of protest secure an au-
ditorium bi genough. Some one has
blundered and the preparations made
are for an audience that would dis
appoint an obscure lecturer on the
diet of Arctic explorers. The city and
state polled an enormous Taft vote.
What the result will be whenn SO per
cent of the crowd assembled in Michi-
gan avenue because it cannot get in
to the halD sees President Taft dis
appear within a subject for imagina-
tive conjecture.
Temple Of Harmony. .
Orchestra hall is an attractive and
justly celebrated temple of harmony
erected for the purpose of enabling a
specific number of enthusiastic per
sons of musical temperament to pay
weekly homage to the no less cele
brated Thomas orchestra. But it is
too small for the Taft monstration
J There will be much distinction anG
no little class. "But is this hardly
fair to certain other hundreds an
thousands who admire President
Taft, who are deeply interested il
the problems of the tariff, and who
above all other things, would like t.
hear those problems eloquently Gis
cussed by the man who was so distin
guished a factor in the preparation
and passage of the late tariff bill.
This is the wall.

Your childs education and future

If your child suffers with strained
eyes, nervousness and headaches are
the result, consequently he is a poor

The greater per cent of eye trouble
is acquired or developed during school
days. Neglect at this time is re-

eye trouble. Twenty five per cent OF
all school children suffer from defec

tically into police headquarters last
evening about s o'clock and anxiously
inquired If anything had been seen of

granddaughter at about Z O'Clock.
When Eighth street was reached. Mrs.
Allen stated she turned her back for
just a minute and when she turned
around again the child had disap-

stated that she was just sure the 'lit-
tie darling" had been kidnapped and
imagined all sorts of dreadful things
that might befall her.

IT IS THOUGHT THAT TWO OLD
Err BOYS WHOSE IDENTITY Is

GUILTY PARTIES.

by the police, on a charge of shooting
through c., c. & L. passenger train No.
5. due in this city at 9:3O o'clock, yes
terday morning, was a mistake has
been borne out by the investigation
made by John F. Robbins, attorney for
the parents of the two boys. The boys
were not charged with any offense, but
released soon after they were brought
before the police officials.
In the investigation made by Mr..
Robbins last evening. he ascertained
facts which show that the two boys
were not implicated in the affair in the
least. but apparently, two older boys
were the guilty parties. Only a par
tial description of the boys who are
supposed to be the guilty ones has been
obtained, but the police are working on
the case and arrests may follow.
Not Near the Railroad.
The Stevens and Lanning boys car
ried small target rifles and at no time
during their travels yesterday morning
were they less than mile and half
from the c., c. & L. railroad The
bullet also entered on the west side of
the coach and the boys were at all
times east Of the tracks. One of the
passengers on the train gave the police
description OF the young men who
did the shooting. He stated that one
of the boys wore a white shirt and nei.
ther young Lanning nor Stevens wore
clothes of the description given the po.
lice.
The parents of the two boys are very
much worried over their apprehension
The boys have always borne excellent
regulations, both at school and among
residents of the neighborhood in which
they reside.

Only Few Specimens Left of
Franklin Tree, a Geor-

BROUGHT THERE IN 1890
ALL OF THE TREES NOW KNOWN
ARE THE DESCENDANT OF
THE ONE WHICH WAS FOUND
BY WILLIAM 1ARTRAM.

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. "a rare
and handsome tree with curious his.
tory is the Gordonia or Franklin tree.
which, owing to the Bartrams. can
now be seen in a few Philadelphia gar.
dens.
The tree was first discovered by
John Bartram, who. with his son VIII
liam, was on one OF his extensive bo.
tanizing expeditions in the southern
part of the country on the Altamaha
River, in Georgia, near Fort Barring.
ton. Some years afterward. about 1876
or 1871. William Bartram found the
tree again in the same locality. He
brought a plant AMI some seeds home
and planted them in his fathers gar
den, where, fortunately, they took
root and grew.
The tree was of the Gordonia family
they preceived. but of an unknown
variety. and differing from the Cor.
donia in numerous respects. The flow
ers were so beautiful, the tree so hand
some that they fei: they must honor
it with an appropriate name, SO they
called it Franklinia Altamah, as
Franklin was an intimate friend OF
both father and sou.
The curious part of the history OF
the tree is that it has never been
found since. not even in its original
locality, though botanists without
number have made diligent search
where there was the slightest probab
ility Of finding it.
The tree is exceedingly difficult to
propagate, as it does not perfect its
seeds, and all the specimens that are
known to be in existence are the des
cendants of that first tree that grew
in Bartram's garden 1t Is, incidental
ly, the last member Of an expiring
family.
Audubon mentions the tree and has
a picture of 1t with bird near by.
Strange to say, it is closely related
to a species that is numerous in Jap
an. and those who believe that In pre-
historic ages there was land connec
ton between Eas-ern Asia and oul
American continent think the Frank
lin tree is conclusive evidence Of the
fact that the Pacific Ocean is a recen,
formation and that the Gordonia is q
survivor Of the age when plant travel
over the land was not interrupted by
the Intervention Of a great body oi
water.
The tree blossoms very freely II
late August and early September, the
individual flowers lasting only a shor,
time. The withered blossoms have ar
odor not unlike boiled tea. and the
fresh flowers have a delicate and
pleasing perfume. There are some
fine specimens Of the Franklin tree h
Germantown and a few in the old gar
dens of mansions that are now includ
ed in Fairmount Park.
