AN aged queer man entered the
grocery store at the corner of Sixth and
Clay last evening and shied up to the
stove. The police were notified that he
was there and the chief went out to get
him with the patrol wagon He was
found to be Henry Sexton who had
escaped from the asylum but a short
time before. He was slightly clad and
had gotten very cold for his shirt was
open three buttons at the throat. The
warmth inside the buildings appealed
more to him than freedom finally and
he entered the grocery. Henry had
been taken out to walk by the attend
ants with many others and somehow
walked off without them seeing him.
Piled into the wagon he remon-
strated strongly as they seemed to be
going west toward the hospital He
would never be taken there alive, he
said, but when he was told he was be-
ing taken down town to be warmed up
and fed he became quite happy. He
was kept at the station until the at
tendants from the asylum arrived for
their runaway charge.

NICE FEAsT FOR BILL
PRESIDENT GUEST AT FEED AT
LOS ANGELES.
Twenty-Five Dollar Plate Affair to Be
Pulled Off at the Shrine Auditor
ium; Decorations Will Be Some
thing Gorgeous; Dinner to Be
Served on a Magnificent Scale; One
Round of Pleasure

Los Angeles, Oct. IA large, fat
man, wearing a suit OF travel stained
and dusty clothes and broad smile
and claiming to be the president of
the United States, arrived today in
the City of Angels. He was given a
characteristic California greeting, ex-
cept that he was not beseeched to in
vest i'll realty by any of the 10000
real estate agents who make this city
their home. 1t is alleged that he Is
the first man who has ever escaped
their opportunities, and it is safe
bet that when he leaves town he will
have a deed or two for some choice
lots i'll the newest and finest subdi
vision.
Upon his arrival here the president
was met at the station by committee
from the Chamber of Commerce and
escorted to the home of his sister, Mrs.
William A.. Edwards, of 5000 West
Adams street. Mr. Taft was permitted
to visit for a time with his sister and
her family before taking up the round
of sightseeing and receptions.
The presidents digestive functions
will be given another jolt tonight at
the $25-a-plate banquet at the Shrine
Auditorium. 1t will be feast for the
eyes as well as the palate, and by all
odds the calssiest function of its kind
the president has met up with on his
present trip. The decorations will be
most magnificent In these will be
used 10000 American Beauty roses,
10000 carnations, 10000 chrysanthe-
NUNS and miles of smilax.
There will be 1000 palms in pots
throughout the auditorium and the
stage, where the presidents table will
be placed, will be banked with ferns
and overhead will be suspended an
arcn of red and white chrysanthemums.
The ceiling will be obscured by hang
ing baskets, of ferns, seventy five in
all, and several of them as much as
twelve feet in diameter. There will
also be many arches of ferns studded
with electric lights
Then thousand flags will be used
throughout the building and amid and
under this splendor will be placed the
eighty-two tables each of which will
seat ten persons.

MAYOR WILL PROBE
RETURNS FROM ST. LOUIS TO IN
VESTIGATE LID LIFTING.
Expresses Himself as Being Surprised
That Any Saloonkeeper Should
Keep His Place of Business Open
on Sunday; Hurts the Political
Chances of the Executive; He
Talks of the Big Show.

Mayor A. G. Meyer returned last
ed the centennial celebration of the
city. He was one of about thousand
mayors who We're present, and enjoyed
the hospitality of the city. He was not
allowed to spend money, as everything
was free to the mayors. He had free
use of the telephone and telegraph
lines, free tickets to the leading clubs,
which allowed him to order anything
on the bill of fare, free access to the
governors reviewing stand, where he
saw the parades free street car rides,
free tickets to the celebration of the
Yelled Prophet, and free tickets to the
lecture by DR.. Frederick A. Cook At
the latter, he sat on the stand not
ten feet from DIR. Cook, and witnessed
most remarkable demonstration in
honor of the explorer. He was the first
to grasp his hand after lecture was
over.
Mayor Meyer also heard some ex-
cellent addresses on municipal govern
ment and got some good ideas. The
commission form of' government had
some strong advocates.
Mayor Meyer was gone from Man
kato just a week, and was at st.
Louis five days and had one of the
times of his life. The trip was of
great educational value, besides being

Will Make Investigation.
Mayor Meyer was surprised upon his
return to learn that one of the sa
looms was fund running practically
wide open last Sunday, in violation of
the law and of his own instructions.
He felt aggrieved that any saloonkeep-
er shud so override him, and do him
injury, and he intends to take the
matter up with Chief of Police Pond
when the latter returns.
In speaking of the matter today,
Mayor Meyer stated that he would en-
force the law, even if he had to do
it himself. He said that he had given
the chief of police full instructions
IoJ W lOltTdle any DTtdcHeS III tie
Sunday closing law. When informed
that the bar tender of the saloon in
question had made the statement that
the other saloons were open Sundays
and that this saloon ought not to be
singled out for punishment, Mayor
Meyer stated that this certainly was
not true, as he had made it point to
60 down town Sundays when home
and to observe whether the saloons
We're open or not, and when he had
found that one or two saloons had
their back doors open he had written
letters to the proprietors informing
them that this must not occur again.
He did not think that there was any
general violation of the law Saloon
keepers who violated the law were not
treating him right, as they were in
juring his political chances in the flu
ture. He would regret to have to re-
woke any license, but the saloonkeepers
ought to behave.

The church of today must listen
to modern scholarship. She has
absolutely nothing to fear at the
hands of sane, ripe scholarship.
Education is the handmade of the
church.
The church is founded on truth
and truth is eternal.
Men are not less religious, or
less Christian because they are
active in new forms of social and
ethical movements and are seek
ing new expressions. and forms OF
religious truths and doctrines.
Creeds are being changed. Some
may be carted away to the dump
yard of theological thinking. 1t
is simply question OF the sur
vival of the fittest.
Books of science are being re-
vised or cast aside. Systems OF
philosophy are in process OF
change. There is mental unrest
due to mental confusion.
