President Taft viii Arrive Morning
of May 4 and Depart May g.
Itinerary Not Completed.

Washington, D. C.-Presldent Taft
will spend all day Wednesday,
May 4, and the night following it in
st. Louis, leaving the morning of
May 5. He will arrive in st. Louis
early Wednesday morning from Gin
cinnati. He will not stop at Indian
apolis or at any place in Indiana on
this trip. The inference is open that
he may visit the capital of Indiana at
some later date.
Fred w. Carpenter, secretary to the
president, who confirmed the infor-
nation that the president would be
in st. Louis May 4, said he could at
present add nothing concerning the
presidents itinerary, either going to
or coming from st. Louis, nor during
his stay in that city. He said he was
in communication with Mr.. Saunders
of the Business Mems League, to
which all arrangements had been in
trusted regarding the entertainment
of the president while in st. Louis
Secretary Wilson of the department
Of agriculture, will accompany the
president. Secretary Nagel of the de-
partment Of commerce and labor, said
that he would not go on the trip for
the very good reason that Secretary
Wilson was going, and the farmers
convention was gathering which it
was more fitting for the executive
head of the department dealing with
agriculture to attend, and he thought
one cabinet officer was sufficient for
the occasion.

Nashville. Tennessee. - The op.

In pardoning Col. ID. b. Cooper, con-
yicted Of the murder of former Sen
ator F. W. Carmack, have turned

show that in his three years and two

pardons to $50 men convicted of fell

He has pardoned 1872 persons con-
victed OF murder, 103 Illicit liquor
sellers, IFS men convicted Of carry
ing concealed weapons, 124 convicted
OF larceny and 400 sentenced for other
misdemeanors.
In this state Illicit liquor selling and

wholesale Appeals mdue.
There are 1000 convicts confined in
prison in the state and there is hardly
one who has not appealed for elem
ency. The governors friends have
pointed out that many of the pardons
granted were issued by him after pc
titions had been signed by citizens of
the community in which the crimes
were committed In other instances
the judge and Encouragement who
tried the cases signed the petitions,
and in still others majority of the
jurymen urged clemency.
Some of the pardons were for men
in the mines and main prison, who,
because of disease, or injury, were
incapaci;ated for work. and had be-
come a burden upon the state.
The governor also liberated proba'
bly, 100 minors rather than have them,
as he said, confined with hardened
criminals There has never been any
concealment Of the reasons for his
acts of clemency.
Ham" Patterson's heart" has
been a familiar exclamation in Ten
nessee ever since he assumed direc-
ton Of the states affairs. From the
first he used his pardoning power free
" and liberated notorious crooks. Be
fore he began TO WELD his power, Gov.
Taylor held the record for pardons.
but Gov. Patterson quickly made a
new mark.
The new governor turned loose IS
conyicts in a bunch This was after he
began to visit the mines and observe
the prisoners. The day he liberated
them he said he had not considered
how the action would be received. He
declared he had exercised the power
placed in his hands by the people in
the interest Of humanity and in the
interest of youths who might be re-
claimed. Furthermore, he announced.
that he would continue to exercise
this clemency whenever he was sat
isfied the cases were worthy.
Before the convicts were freed they
were taken before the governor and
each promised that he should never
forget mis- kindness.

BURKS IS DISQUALIFIED BY
 RULES OF THE ASSOCIATION

University, September 21.-(Special) The statement which appeared in Birmingham afternoon paper of Septem- Der 20 under date line of University, September 20, to the effect that Henry Burks had re-entered the university, but had been disqualified for the foot ball team by the interference of the faculty is without foundation of fact. Henry Burks has not re-entered the university, his case has therefore not come up for faculty consideration.
 The facts In regard to Burks' eligibil- ity are as follow:
 Burks contemplated returning to col lege this fall and student interested in athletics asked Dr. Smith, chairman of the faculty committee on athletics, if Burks were eligible. Dr. Smith replied that he was not certain because of the fact that Burks had not been in attendance at the university for six months of the last session that he was a student. This would disqualify him under the constitution of the Southern Intercollegiate association, section II, article g. of which reads as follows:

NEW RECORD MADE
 FOR HALF MILE

Allentown, Pa, September a.-uhlan' the worlds champion trotter, made new worlds record for half-mile track here today when he stepped mile in 2:ooA' The previous record for a half-nile track was POS.
 When the horse was brought out at z;oo o'clock there was scarcely a zephyr stir ring and the track was in perfect con- dition.
 After the horse had been given warm ing-up spin through the stretch he came to the wire and Dr. Tanner, who held the reins. gave the nod. Uhlan was off like flash. but before he reached the first quarter went off his feet It required but a few seconds for Tanner to get him back to his gait.
 After the first break thore was not a skip and when the big horse swept down the stretch for the first time and the figures for the half, 1:oSA. were an- nounced there was loud cheering.
 He finished the next quarter in 31A seconds and 1t was evident, barring an accident. that the record would be broken. pr. Tanner did not appear to be urging the trotter and when he swept into the home stretch easily passing the runner that was making the pace, the plaudits broke out afresh and continued until Dr. Tanner was practically carried off the track within a huge floral horseshoe.
