TAFT ANNOUNCES
ONE Term ENOUGH
Twice Makes Announcement to
Washington Audiences.
SERIOUS UNDER HIS SMILE
Some Take Statements Of President
As In Earnest--others Believe He
Spoke In Humorous Sense
Speaks Of Race Suicide.

Washington. d. c., April 1S.-Twice
President Taft declared to Washing.
ton audiences that one term in the
White House is quite sufficient for
him.
The first time the president made
this declaration was in talking to the
District of Columbia branch Of the
American Bankers association. He
made it again in the course of talk
to gathering of Washington's quota
of the Psi Epsilon fraternity. Both
times the president spoke in joking
fashion, but under the smile there ap.
peared to be much seriousness.
Some of his auditors believed the
president was In earnest, but others
took his statement in a Pickwickian
sense.
Breaks News to Bankers.
To the bankers the president was
talking about the beauties of this city
Washington is dear to me-" he said
I'm going to spend three years more
here"
Then the crowd broke in. Seven
years, you mean" 1t chorused.
We'll, that sounds good" continued
the president, smiling, but when re
member that the vote in the District
OF Columbia doesn't cut any figure In
national affairs my head is not swellet
with your approval"
To the fraters at the Psi Upsilor
banquet the president was more frank
Herbert L. Bridgman, president Of the
National Psi Epsilon association, haC
said that he could tell Mr.. Taft how
he might get twenty-five terms al
president.
zone Term Quite Enough" "'
Brother Bridgman," said the presi
dent in the course of his remarks
has said that he can tell me how t,
get twenty-five terms. l am mucl
obliged to him, but one is quit
enough for me. All the philosoph,
Psi u teaches will enable me to ge

DRUG And ROB OLD man
Art Cooper and Ted Smith Face Q
Serious Charge.

A double robbery was committed
Saturday, one of which is felony or
penitentiary offense. Two of the
PERPETRATORS In one robbery are the
same two that committed the second
robbery. Art Cooper, colored, Ted
Smith and Frank George were arrest
ed Saturday afternoon, charged with
larceny from building and after a
severe sweating" they partly con-
fessed to another crime, "a felony.
The second charge Is larceny from
person. One of the men arrested on
the first charge turned states eyi.
dence and told how the second rob.
berry was committed. He claims that
Cooper pawned ring for sum of
money and he and the other two went
to the Popofsky Second.Han store
on High avenue west where Cooper
wanted to buy pair of shoes. While
Cooper purchased the shoes George
and Smith each stole pair of shoes.
Mr.. Popofsky reported the robbery
to the police and George Andrews was
assigned on the case. In short time
after Mr.. Andrews noticed one of the
men with new shoes. He claimed he
bought the shoes of George. A search
was made at the George home and
another pair of new shoes found. The
men we're araigned and George turned
states evidence telling of the other
robbery committed during the same
day. He alleges that Cooper and
Smith enticed an old man from Grin.
nell away from the Iowa Central de
pot Saturday afternoon. Nelson Frost
the man, who was robbed told the Of
ficers that Smith and Cooper took him
from the depot to a nearby saloon
where they bought beer for him. He
claims that he drank only three
glasses of beer but after drinking the
third glass he remembered nothing
until he found himself in Jail. He
thinks that Cooper and Smith placed
knockout dropsin his beer which made
him unconscious OF what was goint
on. Cooper and Smith were seen TAX
ing the old man through the FRS
ward school grounds and toward tn,
old fair grounds. 1t was when the!
reached the fair grounds 1t Is claimet
they robbed him. Mrs. George, moth
OF Frank George, says that she notices

and she took from their actions tina
they wee robbing him. Frost tn,

Shortly after the patrol was Gale
