AGED WOMAN PLEADS
FOR KISS FROM TAFT
Tries To Break Through Police Line
to Meet Man She Knew as
Boy.

An aged, hysterical woman whom
he had seen bursting through a
cheering crowd, occupied the atten-
ton OF President Taft "a hours after
she had made a vain attempt to
break through the police lines to the
presidents automobile in Worcester,
Mass. AS the policemen thrust the
tottering woman back into the crowd
she tremulously begged to be allow

But the policeman was adamant
and the woman wandered away into
the shouting crowd and was lost in
the side streets as the presidential
procession moved on. When he

TRAVELLING COURT FOR
ALASKA COAST TOWNS

Either the United States revenue
cutter Manning, now being repaired
at the Willamette Iron & Steel
works, or the revenue cutter Rush
will be detailed this summer to car
ry United States courts and grand
juries between ports In Alaska. This
plan Is to save time and expense, It
is understood, by holding special ses-
sions at various places, instead Of
forcing witnesses TO travel at incon-
venient distances to a central place.
Alaska has three United States
district courts. and the law provides
that these can hold special sessions
wherever the respective judges or
the attorney general may deem It to
be necessary The third district
court has taken advantage of the
permission and in the past has con-
vened at variety of places. It is
understood now, however, that be-
ging this year, the plan of holding
special sessions at various places will
be adopted as a custom.
Captain Godfrey Lynet Garden,
commanding the revenue cutter
Manning, said yesterday that he was
not working to get the job of carry
ing the court from place to place, but
he is of the opinion that the Rush
VIII be the vessel to be assigned to
the work.
The Rush Is detailed for work at
Puget Sound, and If she is not sent
TO carry the Alaskan courts from
place to place during the summer,
she will 60 with a number of other
revenue cutters to protect the Ameri-
can seal fisheries in the Bering Sea
Recently the Manning was ordered
to prepare for leaving for the Bering
Sea some time in May, and she has
been fitting out for that work. Later,
however, came word of the plan to
send one OF the cutters with the
court. and this was followed with
the intimation that either the Man
ming or the Rush would be selected
for that work.
The repairs on the Manning are
nearing completion; and It is expect
ed that the vessel will be out in the
stream fully repaired by the end Of
this week. Whether she goes to the
Bering Sea or will be sent to carry
the members Of the court and grand
juries from port to port will not In
terfere with the necessity Of out
fitting her Immediately for the sum
mer.

Traffic saund Attracts Attention

The traffic squad went on duty yester- day morning at Il o'clock and attracted a good deal of attention from passersby. As the squad went marching down Mines teenth street in military formation, un- der command of Captain DeVine, a gasp of admiration went up from the crowd assembled to see the first parade of the squad. Every man in the line lowered six feet and several inches and they would have been coveted by Frederick the Great for his Imperial bodyguard. The men are without clubs and in white gloves present novel appearance.

TALBOT STARTS
 BACK TO ENGLAND
1897 AND THINKS BIRMINGHAM WILL SHOW EVEN GREATER DE- VELOPMENT IN NEXT DECADE

After having inspected the Birmingham district in company with officers of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany, Benjamin Talbot, one of the most noted steel makers of Middleboro, Eng land, left last night for New York en route to his home. He said yesterday in speaking of the Birmingham district that
 in 1897 he was very much interested in some local companies, principally the present Tennessee company. He said that Birmingham today represented almost ex- actly what he had anticipated, and that 10 years should demonstrate as great a. change as the l2 years past. s
 MT. Talbot in the early days here was associated with Colonel DeBardeleben in the development of various companies and properties. He transferred. however. all his interests to England. He said yes- terday that he wished to come back here every year or so to See what is taking place. He was sthe guest of MT. Craw- ford, president of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company, on a trip over the properties of that company
 T am not a stranger to this district" said MT. Talbot. Although I have not been here in some time I was in Blr- mingham pretty often about 1897. Colonel DeBardeleben and I were together d great deal I believed then that Birming- ham was destined to be the Pittsburs of the south. My belief still holds good. think the accomplishments of the past can be more than duplicated, now that Birmingham has grown to be a metro- politan city.
 T was very much interested yesterday to go oyer the district and see the mag nifcent developments that are being made by the Steel corporation. With such a financial giant in this district doing such work Birmingham is certain to grow and grow fast"
 In talking about business MT. Talbot said: ''The election being over the chances are bright for a general resump- tion of industrial activities However. there are some who prefer to wait yet a little while to see what effect the ab- normal democratic vote will have upon the 4fnancial interests. My opinion is that the time for waiting is past.''

One day not long ago Capt. John w. Grayson was driving into Gurley from his plantation. He overlook small boy on the pike. and, drawing up his horse, MT. Grayson invited the little fellow to jump in and ride" The boy readily consented.
 The little fellow sat in his corner of the seat and regarded MT. Grayson with ap- parent awe. To Captain Graysons many questions the lad answered in timid mo- nosyllables.
 At last, after riding about mile the boy suddenly blurted: Mister, you ain't over 100 years old, are you?"
 Captain Grayson delights in telling this story on himself. Though he carries him. self erect and with marvellous suppleness for his 72 years. MT. Graysons long. flowing beard is as white as drifted snow. His full shock of hair is also perfectly white. But it is the only sign of age he carries.

The prices range from 25 cents to 75 cents per day for lodging, meals 25 centsSto oo cents each. All comrades who do not feel able to pay will be furnished free lodg- ings, and also furnished meals at the dining hall.

 MT. Winans, an American citizen who has visited this country but once, had an entry pitted against the Stotesbery rair yesterday, but did not get even highly complimented. He so much ad- nlired the victors, however, that he asked MT. Stotesbery today what he held the pair for. When told $25oOO he promptly drew his check for the amount and handed it to the Philadelphian.

The state rested yesterday morning in the trial of William Majors, charged with wrecking passenger No. 4 at Gun ningham switch, and causing the death Of two men.
 The defense immediately began plac- ing witnesses on the stand, and the trial progressed rapidly. It was the purpose of the testimony introduced by the de- fense yesterday to prove an alibi clear ing Majors of all guilt of complicity in the wreck at Decatur during last Au- gust, to discredit the testimony of Brad ley Brown, who stated that he heard Majors threaten to wreck a train, and to prove that Engineer T.

 drove out to his plantation five miles from Gurley, in Madison county, few days ago. His farm consists of 1000 acres of as fine land as can be found in the coves of east Madison. His home, built more than 40 years ago, sits on terrace of one of the many mountain peaks that rise in this section, 300 feet above the general level of the country and 1700 feet above the sea. It Is one of the pret- tiest and most substantial farm homes in south Alabama
 From his front veranda Captain Cray son pointed to a cove in the ridge of mountains to the west of the plantation. q was born over there eight miles away 72 years ago. l married near the point of that mountain eight miles to the south at the beginning of the war. I have lived here in this radius of eight miles ali my life. I have never cared to live any, where else.
 q have visited many of the finest sec lions of the United States, but have ai- ways returned to Alabama better satis- fled with my native state. Some coun- tries may have some advantages over this, but this has so many advantages over every other section that when you consider the drawbacks elsewhere there is no comparison.
 Any man that can make living any, where can make it in Alabama I am fond of these mountains and coves in east Madison, the hills and valleys of my nativity"
 Captain Grayson has one of the most ideal stock farms in the country. It is exceptionally well watered by Flint river. which runs through the plantation just to the rear of his lot, and by num- erous small streams fed by mountain springs that run the year round. His lots and pastures are so arranged that running water passes through every one of them.

 Captain Grayson raises horses, mules, cattle, sheep and hogs. He has five pas lures of clover, Bermuda grass peas, sorghum cane, corn and oats He also has five acres of native cane, ''so dense you could, not throw hatchet into it." as the captain expressed it. This makes exceptionally fine winter grazing.
 Besides this, Captain Grayson produces from 5000 to 5000 bushels of corn per year.
 He showed me 20 fine hogs that are be- ing fattened for this winters slaughter. These are for the use of himself and tenants on the place. He expects the hogs to net more than 250 pounds each when they are dressed.
 Captain Grayson served through the Civil war with honor. He was early promoted to captaincy and held that position to the end of the struggle

Inshis 72 years of useful life. much of which has been spent in trying struggles for his own and his country s prosperity, Captain Grayson has devel- oped a strong spirit of philosophy.
