meet AT FL PAS0
TWO PRESIDENTS EXCHANGE
GREETINGS AND HOLD PRl-
vATE CONFERENCE.
IMPOSING CEREMONIES
DAY OF PAGEANTRY AND CHEER.
ING CROWDS ENDS WITH
GRAND BANQUET.

Ell Paso. Texas.-The long expected
meeting between President Taft and
President Diaz of the republic Of Mex.
leo occurred here Saturday. Outward
ly 1t was attended with a display Of
soldiery. flare Of trumpets. boom
OF cannon and pomp of ceremony
suggestive of supreme authority, but
in the actual handclasp of the two ex.
ecutives and in the exchange of cour.
teous words which passed from lip to
lip there was simple but cordial infor-
mality.
President Taft was the first to
speak. In simple American fashion he
assured President Diaz of his warm
personal regard and his high esteem
of the man who had accomplished so
much. He was glad to know the Pres
ident of such great nation; espe-
cially glad to know the present Presi.
dent who had made the nation great.
President Diaz replied with equal cor.
diality.
Both Presidents dwelt upon the har-
monious relations existing between
the United States and Mexico. Pres
ident Taft declared that this meeting
was not necessary to make stronger
the bonds of friendship; 1t merely
typified the strength of the bonds as
they already exist.
There were less than a score Of per-
sons permitted to witness the meet.
ing of the two executives. Even these
were excluded later when President
Taft and President Diaz withdrew
into an inner room Of the Chamber of
Commerce building. where the historic
meeting occurred and were only at
tended by Governor Creel Of the state
OF Chihuahua. former ambassador to
the United States, who acted as in.
terpreter.
The scene Of the days ceremonies
shifted from time to time from this
thriving little American city across

river to the typical little Mexican
town o. Ciudad Juarez. / nthe Gus

sTRoNoLY IN FAVOR OF STATE.
HOOD FOR ARIZONA AND NEW
MEXICO.
VISITS AN OLD PUEBLO
GIVES SOME EXCELLENT Ap
VICE TO BOTH INDIANS AND
AMERICANS.

Albuquerque, N. M.-President Taft
had another day Of travel through the
far Southwest Friday and traversing
the long reaches of the territory OF
New Mexico, had a glimpse of some
o, the most ancient adobes in Amer.
lea, leaving the train at one time to
go into the plaza of a pueblo to wit
ness an Indian dance, especially ar
ranged.
The color of the Southwest tinted
his reception at all the various stops
along the way.
Arriving here at 3 o'closk, the presi.
dent was greeted by one Of the largest
audiences of his territorial travels OF
the past three days and aroused in.
tense enthusiasm by repetition Of
the declarations he made in Arizona
that he favored statehood for the two
remaining territories of the United
States and would do all in his power
to see that the long-deferred hopes OF
the people of Arizona and New Mexico
are gratified.
1t was at Laguna, a township made
up entirely Of Indians. that the presi-
dent was met by a local committee OF
Indians and where he had one OF the
most unique entertainments Of his
trip.
As he sat in little canopied stand
in the plaza enclosed with adobe huts
and walls. the president was show
cred with presents. There were blan-
kets Of gaudy color. Indian bread and
other offerings which the red men had
fashioned in mis- honor.
The plaza itself. the walls and the
terraced roofs of the adobe houses
were lined with Indians. the squaws
being attired in fantastic costumes
which seemed all the brighter under
the glare Of an unclouded sun. And
there was hardly squaw In the pu'
eblo that did not have bright-eyed.
chubby.faced little papoose either in
her arms or swung in a hammock on
her back. More little Indian boys and
girls were arranged in a long row to
welcome the president and each one
carried an American flag.
As the president was leaving the
plaza, after the weird music Of the tom
toms had died away and the last steps
of the Comanchc dance had been taken
by the gaudily bonnetted braves. tho
little children sang song OF New
Mexico.
The president stopped several min
utes to listen. The tune was that OF

went to the church. an adobe building.
In a little speech, spoken slowly and
with emphasis on each syllable. In or
der that all who understood English ut
all might understand. the president
assured the Indians OF the good Will
Of the government and urged them to
be good farmers and good artisans.
He was warmly applauded and every
Indian wanted to shake his hand.
These evidences OF interest and II
might be said Of such enthusiasm were
unique. coming from such stolid
race.
