Taft t--.Memphis Gives
President Big Welcome

MEMPHIS, Oct. 2S.-In no city visited
by President Taft in his history MAX
ing trip across the continent has there
been given more enthusiastic reception
than the greeting extended here today,
when shouts from many thousands or
threats echoed and re-echoed across
the river.
After an auto parade and visit to
the new Y. M. C. A. building, where the
president assisted with the dedication
of the structure he was taken to the
auditorium, where he made his prin-
cipal address of the day. About three
o'clock the steamer Oleander departed
with the president for Helena, Ark.
Speaker Cannon, it was made known
today is not in complete accord with
President Taft's deep waterway plan
after all
In his speech Mr.. Cannon balked at
the presidents proposition to issue
bonds to pay for the improvements
holding that they should be carried on
only as rapidly as they can be paid for
out of the current funds in the treas
ury The speakers address followed
one by the president, in which Mr.. Taft
reiterated his position in favor of deep
waterways where it can be demonstrat-
ed that the plans for improvement are
feasible, are necessary and can be car
ried to completion without too great ex-
penditure OF money.
The president tonight was the guest
of the governors, who are making
the trip down the river on the steamer
ST. Paul which Immediately follows
the Oleander. He had been invited to
dinner last night bu, vas SO fatfgued
ing several times that he begged to be
excused until this afternoon.
The St Paul was brought up in mid
stream alongside the presidents boat
this evening and lashed there while
he and his party were conducted on
board. The same proceedings We're
gone through today and the p1 esident
was presented with a possum, already
cooked and surrounded with delicious
sweet potatoes, ready to be served at
his luncheon table.

OUT
DELAY FOR
NEW WORK
Means BranchLine to the
Silver Camp.-C
ton Orders Expected

1t is learned on excellent authority
that the survey made for the new
Ely -Goldfield railroad during the sum
mer will stand practically as made.
observation taken by Chief Engineer
Rasor following the completion of the
summer survey failed to indicate
feasible route by way of Hamilton.
Early in the year observations were
taken in the vicinity of Hamilton and
route that it was at first thought
might be feasible was followed for
some distance before given up. Later
there was another reconnaissance made
in this locality and it was thought
for a time that feasible passage
might be worked out. Still later
more thorough investigation was made
by Chief Engineer Rasor, with result
that the possibility of taking the
main line of the new railroad by way
of Hamilton was practically removed
this according to the latest report
The meaning of this is very large
locally, as it will probably mean the
starting of construction of the new
road earlrier than would otherwise be
the case. For il a survey had been
decided upon by way of Hamilton all
but the first rs miles of the summer
survey would have been lost and the
new work entailed four or five months
more delay As matters now stand
there is reasonable ground for the ex-
pectation of word any day that con
struction has been ordered commenced
Conferences have been going on in New
York and it is understood that the
reports have been about disposed of
Elimination of consideration of Ham
ilton as the main line route undoubteo-
ly means that branch line will be
put into that camp. 1t has been un-
derstood that observations made by the
engineers have indicated a very good
route for a branch line which, with
about 35 miles of traclsage will reach
the silver camp.

Mcmahon said his brother Patrick
and he had not been on good terms for
several years and this alone would
prove his brother innocent of any COM
plicity. Patrick Lamb has been en-
ployed as a hired man on the Mcmahon
farm The police said tonight they
would hold him.
The confessed murderer has been Sc
verely cross examined by the police
many times since the murders, but he
skillfully extricated himself from the
few compromising positions into which
he stepped
He was taken at one time to the
scene of the murder and forced at
midnight under the glare of flash
light to rehearse his story. Me did it
unfiinchingly, swearing he knew moth
ing of the crime. Later he oered $500
for the arrest of the murderer.
The quarrel between the Van Roy
ems and McMahons started over the
desire of the senior Mrs. Van Royen
to give part of her property to Van
Royen. Rose Mcmahon was friendly
with the Van Royens. This caused
Mcmahon to dislike her.

sources of the Country.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27-Nation wide in
it's scope and backed with the enthus-
iastic endorsement of President Taft,

movement was launched here today.

ALL JAPAN
MOURNING
PRINCE ITO.
Esteemed its Greatest Ad-
wiser and Most Beloved
And Trusted by People

TOXIC, Oct 27.-Statement was is
sued by the foreign office today giving
official announcement that Japan's pol
icy toward Korea will undergo no
change in consequence of the assas-
sination of Prince Ito, who as resident
general of Korea worked out the plan
for that Kingdoms reformation.
There is no reason to believe that
the death of Prince Ito will have the
slightest fleet upon Japanese policies
either at home or abroad.
The entire nation is in mourning;
the nags on the foreign embassies
have been placed at half-mast while
all public and many private functions
have been abandoned. The Japanese
and foreign newspapers appear in
black borders. Only the death of the
emperor could arouse similar demon
strations of sympathy. Perhaps
Prince Ito's death causes more uni
versal grief because he was idolized
by the masses as the great counselor
of the elder statesmen the creator of
AIhe cabinet and the friend of the en-
.peror himself. ),
The boy crown prince of Korea is
reported to have been inconsolable
when the news of the assassination of
his aged grand tutor was broken TO
him.
For the last two years the crown
prince has been a resident of Japan
and the frequent companion of Prince
ito, who formed an affection for him,
which was warmly reciprocated. The
fact that he was sassinated by Ko-
reans was especially shocking to the
youth, who was well informed as to
Prince Itos plans regarding Korea.
The posthumous honors have not
yet been announced, but it is certain
that they will be the highest in the
gift of the emperor, and that the fu-
neral will equal that of a prince of the
blood
"A warship will bear the body to
Yokohama from Darien, probably ar
riving week hence. The grand
chamberlain will accompany the body,
with military and naval guard of
honor. No details of the funeral have
yet been arranged.
The newspapers without exception
editorially express horror at the act,
pointing out that Prince Ito was the
Koreans best friend always, even in
the face of opposition at home. He
looked for the regeneration of Korea
and endeavored to alleviate the evils
of its condition,

KANSAS CITY, oct. 27.-James Nc
Mahon, self-confessed triple murderer,
was today charged on three informa-
tions with having killed his two sis
ters and his brother-in-law. Alonzo
Van Royen.
Mcmahon will be removed temporar-

when he will be returned to the murder
ers' row of cells. His preliminary hear
ing is set for late in the week.
Prosecutor Taggart and Sheriff
Becker sweated James Mcmahon for
two hours. Then Mcmahon collapsed
and confessed all.
Eyes, I killed my two sisters and
brother -in-law, and I was crazy when
I did it," he shouted, rising out of
his chair and pacing the room.

In conversation with a pupil the
the other day we learned that
Mrs. r. J. Huff has entirely given
up working in the store in order
to devote the time to instruction
of her music pupils. Mrs. Huff
was pupil of the old Italian
Vocal teacher, Signor Errani,
with whom she studied for FIVE
years. On her recent trip'to New
York she discovered new method
for Piano teaching which is said
to be specially desirable for be-
ginners as it enables the pupil to
get entirely away from the old
tedious instruction book. We are
very glad to see so much interest
taken in musical studies in Paonia,
for certain it is that no accom-
plishment can take its place in
