For the Entertainment Next Saturday
OF Pres. Taft.

Bangor, Me-, July 19.-As the result
of conference held between Byron
Boyd. chairman of the Republican
State committee, and Mayor Woodman
which was held Monday night, ten
tative program for President Taft's
visit to Bangor Saturday has been ar
ranged. Mr.. Boyd was still in town
Tuesday arranging the details and 1t
is possible that some slight changes
may be made during the week. but
what will be done here has, in the
main, been decided upon.
President Taft and his party, the
exact personnel of which is unknown
at present. but which will probably in
clude Senator Hale. some OF the Maine
congressman and ex-GovernOrs Bur
leigh. Hill and Cobb and Gov. Fernald,
will arrive here at II o'clock Saturday
noon, coming up from Bar Harbor by
special train.
It is planned to have automobiles
waiting for them at the station and
the visitors will be taken for spin
about the city which will last about
an hour. The exact route which the
party will take has not been deter
mined upon yet but it will he an
nounced as soon as possible. 1t is re-
quested that the people living along
the route will decorate their houses
as far as is possible.
President Taft himself is to be the hos
at the luncheon which will be given II
the private dining room of the Bangor
House at 1 o'clock. The party whicf
comes to town with him will be hi
guests and a few Bangor people Will bt
invited. But the seating capicity Is
limited and the President wishes to avoit
anything in the nature of forma
luncheon.
At 100 o'clock President Taft is SEIZED
uled to appear on the Main street balcony
of the hotel where he will make a shor
speech. not over 10 minutes probably
It is announced that he will avoid al
direct reference to Maine politics. From
the Bangor House the Presidential part,
will be taken to the Union station in au
tomobiles The special train will leave
on the return trip down over the MT
Desert branch at o'clock.
As has already been announced in the
Commercial, Mayor Woodman has called
a special meeting of the city council FOL
80 o'clock Tuesday night at which tim'
some of the details of the President
visit will be taken up. The route of thu
automobile trip will be discussed and pc
lice arrangements for handling the

the mayor that every member of boil
boards will be present.
President Taft has requested that his
visit here be made simple and informa
one and all of the details will be sub
mitted to him for his approval. 1t Il
out of difference to his wishes that bras.
bands. parade and public banque
have been dispensed with. Bangor Is t.
be the only inland city of Maine which
he will visit on his present trip and thu
only place in the State in which he viii
speak.
Special rates will be given and specia
trains will be run. both by the Bangor
e. Aroostook and Maine Central Rail

He hopes to be able to go West with

History came near repeating itself
Monday. when the led Sox stepped up
to second place in the American
League. One year ago July 18 the
team did the same trick, but without
winning a game. July Is, 1908, fell
on a Sunday. with the Eastern Ameri-
can teams in the West the Red Sox

Philadelphia. which had been leading
them by few points. did play and
was beaten, S to 4, in II innings by St.

Crisis and by grace of that wallop the
Red Sox passed the Athletics into
second place.
A stakeholder of the Pittsburg club.
Alex Moore, makes the sensational
charge that the worlds champions
have been purposely losing games be-
cause they did not receive big bonus
promised to them for winning first
hOnors last year. Moore asserts that
this money was handed over to the
Pittsburg players week ago and that
their sudden brace against the Giants
was the result. If the Pirates climb
to the top and win the pennant again
they will have hard time explaining
why they have failed to show their
best quality hitherto. In the opinion
of baseball men severe measures
should be adopted to punish players
who fail to do their best at all times

The Crippen Case
Remains Mystery,

London, July 19-Scotland Yard found
today what is believed to be a clue to the
disposition of the bones with which the
flesh unearthed in the cellar i'm Hilldrop
Crescent. once formed the body of Belle
Gilmore. the American actress wife of DR..
Hadley II. Crippen.
The detectives ran across a woman who
said that Miss I.eneve had been her
friend and had talked to her in confidence
OF mysterious visits paid by DR.. Crppen
to the neighborhood of Regents park.
The theory of the police is that the bones
of the murdered woman may have been
carried in small parcels to Regents park
and deposited in the Regents canal.
This development has strengthened the
belief of Miss Leneves friends that she
is Innocent of any knowledge of the
crime
At the inquest yesterday the ply sicians
testified that the flesh had been carefully
and skillfully carved from the skeleton.
1t has been deemed of great Importance
to discover the missing members includ-
ing the head. hands and feet I'm order to
complete the body and thus establish
legally the case of murder.
With the evidence at hand the experts
have not yet been able to determine
so much as the sex of the victim Today
the authorities offered reward of $3.50
for information leading to the arrest of
DR.. Crippen. He left his office at | =. NJ.
on July 9. since which no positive trace
OF his whereabouts has been discovered.
Superintendent Forest of Scotland Yard
does not admit that any important dis
covery has been made.
There Is still hope that the fugitive pair
may be found aboard the Red Star Liner
Kroonland.
In series of questions which he pro-
poses to ask Home Secretary Churchill in
the House of Commons. William j.
Thorne. a Laborite. voices the general
dismay at the slackness of the police
methods which allowed Crippen and the
Leneve woman to slip out of their hands
although for nine days prior to the dis
appearance of the two the authorities
had strong grounds for the suspicion that
a crime had been committed
Washington July 19.-The British gov
eminent has asked the United States for

The difficulties which have attended the
