TAFT SPEAKS
Of GEN. CUSTER
PRAISES HIM AS GREAT CAV
AIRY LEADER AND HERO OF
INDIAN WARS-MONUMEN is
UNVEILED.
BY Associated Press.

Monroe. Mich, June 4.-President
Taft arrived here at a. m. At the
unwilling of the Custer monument
President Taft spoke extemporeane-
ously of Gen. Custer.
From Bull Run to Appotomax, in
every bloody battle of the army of the
Potomac he was the right arm of the
commander of the forces as the lead
er of the cavalary brigade" he said.
"A brigadier general at twenty three,
a major general at twenty-five, he
showed in his life that same youth
and force that We have in most of
the great soldiers of the world"
The president declared that the
phase of Clusters career, however,
which appealed most deeply to him
was his share in the Indian wars.
He was one of the $4,000 men
composing the regular army, whose
work we do not fully appreciate as
much as I wish we did The army
then and the army of today is one
of which the United States may well
be proud. l say this merely to note
the Indebtedness of the country to
the army during the opening Of the
west and to testify to the effective
ness and heroism of George Arm
strong Custer in that great battle
which continued for a decade, that
great war for civilization of which
he was the most conspicuous and
shining sacrifice"

ONE DAY OFF

coRsETT is COACHING THE BIG
FELLOW AND WILL SOON BOX

VOICE.
BY Associated Press.

Ben Lomond, Cal, June At was
at Jim Corbett's suggestion that JEFF
fries took a day off yesterday. Cor
bett seems to be the governing voice
in the training operations now and
as he is believed to have counseled
Jeffries to lay off bit all along the
line, no strenuous work is looked for
in the near future.
Corbett believes Jeffries is as
strong as is necessary and that he
will be far better off with light, scien-
tific exercise than with the rough
work he has been indulging in of late
Speed and cleverness is Corbett's s
slogan and that is expected to be the
watchword with Jeffries from now on.
Jeffries is scheduled to box today
and Sunday for the benefit of camp
visitors. Corbett himself Ms not ready,
he says. to do any serious glove
work. He freely admits that he is
not yet in condition for boxing with
Jeffries.

In a speech of about one hours
duration, United States Senator JAS.
P. Taliaferro last night delivered his
first and last address of the cam
paign to the voters of Pensacola. In
this he touched upon his own record
and that of his opponent. The meet
ing was at the corner of Garden and
Palafox streets, where a temporary
stand had been erected and which
was occupied by the speaker and
John S. Beard.
Introduced by Mr.. Beard, Senator
Taliaferro Immediately launched in
to his subject. After thanking the
people of the county for their past
support of him, he said he deprecat-
ed the introduction of personalities
in the campaign, and said that while
he did not propose to go into the
various charges generally he would
refer to them sufficiently for the au-
dience to understand whether or not
they were true.
IN HIS DEFENSE.
The speaker said that his opponent
had been spreading it broadcast that
hc was a corporationist and in SYM
pathy with the millionaire classes,
but that the record did not sustain
the charge, for he had voted upon
every bill of Importance before CON
gress during the past eleven years
and his record was an open book up
on all of these issues. He said he
had voted for the income tax. know
ing that he would be taxed under its
provisions. He also voted for the
corporation tax, but did so reluctant
ly, as he was in doubt about taxing
corporations, leaving individuals ex-
empt.
Speaking of his record in Washing
ton, Senator Talaiferro said that the
Florida delegation had obtained
much for this state, but that he did
not claim having done it all. The
credit, he said, should go to the en-
tire delegation, and no one member
is entitled to any more credit than
another.
He referred to the closing of the
Pensacola navy yard and how the en-
tire delegation had worked to have L
reopened. The rivers and harbors

an appropriation for this section, w2s

BY Associated Press.

Washington, June 4.-Indications
are that the house will accept the
senate railroad bill passed by the
senate last night, but it is by no
means certain. Mann, in charge Of
the house bill, stated many things in
the house measure are not in the SEN
ate bill, upon which he will insist.
and some things in the senate bill he
objects to.
1t is said, however, there is a
movement among the Insurgents to
accept the senate bill as a near ap-
proach to what was desired. Demo
Gratis are said to be practically pre-
pared to accept it rather than take
chances of a conference. Acceptance
of the bill means adjournment in

! The congestion of the city, the prev
alence of cement and other close pave
ments, with the usual poor soil and

planting in such positions:
Set trees from twenty-five to thirty
feet apart, and when you dig the hole
be generous and see that it is large
enough to accommodate the trees
roots to prevent the tree from becom-
ing uprooted. Leave as large an open
ing as possible in the pavement
around thei tree trunk, to allow air
and moisture to get to the roots.
/, Protect the tree with guard as
soon as planted; have it sent along
with the tree.

protest that we list the poplar.
