A GREAT MANY IN ATTENDANCE
Excellent Music Was Furnished by the Vaudeville Brass

by Grand Marshal W. c. Keith, Of the

The Druids ball at Cantrelle's hall
was not largely attend, but those
who did attend had a very pleasant
time. The small attendance was due
to the fact that at the present time
it is very hard to get large as

draws large crowd of people, was
fairly attended and other events
have not been able to get the people
out in large numbers.

OK BOARD PRESIDENT TAFT
TRAIN.-From ali over the country
to-day President Taft is receiving
congratulatory messages over his en-
counter with the big stick" yester-
day at New Haven.
In a single step, friends OF thesexec-
.utive say, he has gained the right to
claim active leadership In the party.
His action in refusing to acqufesce in
certain plans formulated by Col,
Roosevelt marks the inception OF a
new policy on the part OF the Presi-
dent; a. determination to maintain his
position az leader OF his party even
IL such a determination means
declaration of war ginst Col Roose-
Welt
That the contributing editor should
have sought the aid or the president
is conclusive that the colonel has
come to realize the fact that Taft
stands for more than titual leadership.
This is the view taken by the friends
OF the president and they are jubiiant
to-day to know that the executive
maintained his place with the pros
peCt IN the future OF q attiNe opppsi-
ton from the colonel and his friends.
United States Senator's message
to the President to-day was: The
most important political victory of
recent times Is yours" Coming as
this message does, from a resourcefuI
leader, ii is significant.
Briefly summed up, the gisc of yes
terday's confab between the President
and the colonel. viewed in the light
OF those standing with the President
was:
Roosevelt sought aida confession
OF weakness.
Taft refused an opportunity for a
trade--a chance TO placate the colonel
by mixing In a State political fight,
The President displayed his frmn ess
of purpose by refusing TO abrogate
his rule of not mixing in State po-
litical fights,
dignitied reply TO the attempts
on the part of Colonel Roosevelt to
smoke out" the President.
The President did not arise until
late this morning. and a goodly sized
crowd at Cleveland, which assembled
at 1880, hoping for a glimpse OF the
executive. was disappointed.

that a weliknown police officer. In

II never opened a gambling house

Al Adams. the one time king of gam
bling In New York, a short time be-

This statement of Adams which
has never been questioned, liz being
cited at this time, when desperate ef-
forts are being made by the investi-

getting the graft as q result OF the
