Taft Pays Tribute to "Voice Full of
English and Sometimes Full
Of Esperanto"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-President
Taft, in an address tonight before the
Dartmouth college alumni in the
presence of their new president, En-
est Fox Nichols. praised the, value of
small colleges and paid a tribute to
Speaker Joseph G.. Cannon, who had
preceded him in speaking
Mr.. Cannon had said that he bowed
to the president as one of Yale, and
Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lin
coin, who had not had the advantage
Of a college education, and that, he
himself, might be a little jealous be-
cause he had not had more of an ad-
vantage for culture that might have
eradicated some Of the meanness in
me, which both my enemies and my
friends say 1 have"
The president referred to the
speaker as MY friend, Uncle Joe"
and called attention to his tribute to
Abraham Lincoln and said:
When we hear that mellifluous
voice, some times full of English, and
some times full of Esperanto, we are
carried back to the magnificent days
of Daniel Webster. Great must be the
country that can produce a man with
out a college education who can de-
liver such a tribute as he paid here
tonight to Andrew Jackson and Abra-
ham Lincoln"

the same satisfaction that these have.
It's fine to sit here and to think that

list like me. 1t sWeetens 'em, l tell
you.
Il think lots of the little colleges
out west, and l shall keep my eye
that way also. Not long ago the pres

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Jan. 24.-Charles
plane across the border line of the
United States and Mexico, and over
the ancient Mexican city of Tia Juana
today, surprising the inhabitants of
that sleepy little place into unusual
life, and then flew back to the polo
field of the San Diego Country club,
on Coronado island, without a stop.
He was gone from the field for 40
minutes, and Travelled q distance of
81 miles. From the greater part of
the time he was over the Pacific
ocean at a height of 200 feet
Not satisfied with this feat, the av-
iator made flight by moonlight over
the ocean, staying up for 8 IL min
utes, and alighting on the field in the
deep shadows that had settled below
the skyline
Hamilton's first flight of the day
resulted in a slight disaster. At 3:15
he went up, while a strong wind was
blowing, an dafter zigzagging over the
field for three minutes, he attempted
to alight in the center of the field. A
sudden guest caught him as he struck
the ground, causing the machine to
bound for ten feet One of the rear
wheels was crushed, and two ribs on
the lower plane were broken.
After an hour of tinkering, Hamilton
had the machine repaired and at AIT
he was off for Old Mexico. Thousands
of people in San Diego city watched
him swing his way over the wide ex-
panse of the blue water.
Dusk was gathering when Hamilton
again alighted on the field
At sos he left the ground again and
made an indescribably beautiful pic
ture as he scared to a height of 200
feet against the dark background of
the distant mountains, and then came
suddenly against the brighter blue of
the sky, in which great round moon
sailed with him.

LONDON, Jan. 24.-The Unionists
gained another seat in the Southport
division Of Lancashire today and one
in the Middlesex. Otherwise the few
results announced tonight do not
change the party strength. The newly
elected members of parliament now
stand:
Unionists, 221; liberals, 2O2; labor
ties, "a; nationalists, So.
Results of Saturdays elections, as
announced this morning, give the lib
erals Is seats, unionists one and the
nationalists one. Results of the bulk
of today's pollings will be known to-
morrow.
Late tonight, with the cessation of
the stream of unionist gains, liberal
leaders are exhibiting a more hopeful
spirit. Winston Spencer Churchill at
Poole tonight, claimed that the lib
erals would return to power with
majority practically as great as Sails
bury ever enjoyed.
The unionists, Notwithstanding their
failure to make material gains, con-
tinued to derive satisfaction from the
enormous decreasing liberal MAORI
ties, notably at Roomford, where Sir
J. H. Bethelrs majority was reduced
nearly 1000; at Tottenham, where
the majority fell off 1000, and at
Toroquay, where the liberal candi-
date retained his seat by IL votes.
Lloyd George Elected.
Chancellor Lloyd-George's election
from Carnarvon borough was an

great as at the last election.
The liberals are showing thankful
ness for small mercies and welcome
a day without a series of union gains

hight, said they were convinced that
the government would have an ample
