President Taft Arrives.

Just at ten o'clock Wednesday
morning the booming of a 2l-gun sa.
lutte by the Charlotte artillery notified
the people that President Taft had
arrived on his special train. Nearly
all the inhabitants and the thousands
of visitors were at the station, and as
Mr.. and Mrs. Taft alighted from their
car they were greeted with a mighty
roar of applause. A special recep'
ton committee took the distinguished
guests in charge and conducted them
to the Selwyn hotel, where they were
welcomed by Gov. Kitchin, Senators
Simmons and Overman and the mayor
of Charlotte.
After meeting all the committeeman
and their wives, Mr.. and Mrs. Taft, to-
gether with Mrs. Stonewall Jackson,
the governor and mayor and other
distinguished visitors, were escorted
by a guard of old soldiers to review
ing stand and witnessed great pa
rade of all the military and civic Or
ganiZations that could take part in the
celebration.
Mr.. Taft Speaks Twice.
A second installment of the music
festival in the Auditorium was
graced by the presence of the city's

Taft delivered an address. His words

Later in the afternoon the president
made a speech to the colored people
and the students of Biddle university
From 8 to $50 in the evening Mr.
and Mrs. Taft held public re-
ception in the parlors of the Sell
wyn hotel and shook hands with thou
sands of people.
Military drills, band concerts and
other entertainments were provided
for the crowds all Wednesday alter
noon and evening, and the great cele-
bration closed in a blaze OF glory.
Old Controversy Renewed.
The neople of North Carolina, whose
proudest boast has been that thelr an
cestors were the first Americans TO
throw off the yoke Of British rule, now
rejoice in the feeling that president
Taft has recognized the justice OF
their claim, but the century-old con-
troversy has broken out afresh. Many
historians refuse to accord to the pio-
neers of Mecklenburg county the
honor that is thus accorded them.
These historians allude to the story
as "the Mecklenburg myth" ana
thereby arouse the anger of North
Carolinians.

gators who have looked most deepiy
into the matter, the Mecklenpurgers

For playing politics with the
Tacoma water supply the city now
may have to pay damages to con-
tractors amounting to $22,506.43.
After two years of wrangling
between the city council and the
old Wright administration the
hatchet was finally buried just
about year ago and both sides
agreed to cooperate on plan to
get an adequate water supply for
the city, for temporary use, both
sides agreeing that within a few
years at most the city would want
TO get a big gravity system.
Plans were made for bringing
the Maplewood springs water in.
Contracts were let to George Mil
ton Savage, the Hallidic Machin-
cry company and Knoell Brothers
Tor the pipe lines, machinery and
pumping station and the entire
bill was to be about $250,000.
This would have delivered the
entire output of Maplewood
springs to the city, amounting to

EUGENE, Ore, Feb. A.
Jacobs, a recent arrival in Eugene
from Seattle, has mysteriously dis
appeared from town, leaving all
of his personal effects at the I'm

and it is feared that he has met
with foul play. He left the hotel
a week ago last Tuesday, telling
the landlady he was going for a

The police believe that some
one knowing he had money on his
person waylaid and murdered
him, or else that while strolling
along the river bank during the
high water, he fell in and was
drowned.

PARK BOARD SWINGS BIG
DEAL FOR A SCENIC ROAD
OVERLOOKING WATERFRONT

The negotiations between the
bark board of Tacoma and the
Northern Pacific relative to the
acquiring of the bluff by the park
board, as stated in the Times
Monday, have terminated favor
ably and Nelson Bennett, presi-
dent of the board, announces that
the company is willing to turn
over to the city the entire bluff
from the end of Pacific avenue to
North Fifth street and a strip 70
feet wide from North Fifth to
North Ninth for scenic boule-
ward overlooking the waterfront.
This the company will do when
ever the park board is ready to
60 ahead with the construction OF
the boulevard.
The final negotiations between
President Elliott and Thomas
Cooper for the railway and the
park board this week settled the
matter and papers were drawn
guaranteeing the performance of
the promise of the company when
the park board gets ready to go
ahead.
The park board will now have
the park board law amended to
give it more explicit authority
and it will then ask the city for a
bond issue to start the great
scheme of park development in
Tacoma.
