TAFT IS URGED
TO RECONSIDER.
May Rescind Determination
to Not Visit Indiana.
KNEW WHAT TO EXPECT

President Said to Have Read Senator
6everidoe's Speech Some Days Be-
fore lts Observation-Disclosures in
Congress Making No conceaIment
OF Their Desire to See the Indiana
Senator Defeated.
Washington, April s.-President
Taft has not yet definitely decided
whether he will cancel his promised
speech In Indianapolis on May 5. So
much pressure has been brought to
bear upon him from so many direc-
tions that he may rescind his determi-
nation to abandon this date. The
president has concluded he will not
give q final answer until further, tele.
grams he is expecting from Indiana
arrive. There is a growing feeling
here that the president may consent
to go to Indianapolis after all. It was
stated at the White House that the In
diana Republican platform was not
the paramount element on the de-
cision of the president to abandon the
Indianapolis date Mr. Taft, so it was
stated, had read the speech of Sena
tor Beverage some days before it was
delivered and knew about what to ex-
pect from the Indiana convention in
the way of tariff plank. 49, - - u
1t was not intended that the an
nouncement Of the abandonment of
the trip should be construed as a re-
buke to the Indiana Republicans, it is
said by friends of the president, but
the fact that there was no relation be-
tween the acts of the convention and
the decision of the president led to
the announcement Of the latter at an
unfortunate time.
Hope for Defeat of Beveridae.
The standpat element in congress,
especially in the house, would like to
see Senator Beveridge defeated. They
make no concealment of their feelings
on this score. Likewise they would
like to see the fight carried into
every insurgent state, both against
members of the house and the senate.
"The only drawback to this pro.
gramme," said standpat leader in
the house, "is that we lack an ade-
quate explanation for the tariff bill. I
have been out in the country several
times this spring and I find the Re-
publicans eager and anxious to fight
but utterly unable to"answerg the at
tacks 6f the Democrats. If somebody
will rig up a good explanation look
for the situation to improve imme-
diately: Right. now it looks like the
breaking up of bad winter
President Taft has received numer-
GUS kilograms from indianapolis and
Indiana urging him to reconsider his
determination not to speak at Indian
apolis and former Vice President Fair
banks has notified him that other tele-
grams are on the way. Until all Of
these kilograms are in the president
will hold his plans in allegiance. ,.>...

These cattle are admittedly inferior
to American cattle, but the difference

Especial to The Times-Dispatch.l

Especial to The Times-Dispatch.1
Emporia. Va. May 22.-The sawmill
department of the Emporia Manufac-
turing Company OF North Emporia
was totally destroyed by fire at an
early hour this morning. This portion
of the plant was built at an original
cost of approximately 100000, and was
one of the largest sawmill industries in
Southern Virginia.
The fire was discovered by an en-
ploye of the mill in what is known as
the "sawdust" house, a building where
fuel is stored. This building is located
adjacent to the boiler rooms of the
plant, from which sawdust Is taken to
supply fuel for the several large fur
naces.
An alarm was Immediately given by
the man upon discovering the blaze
but before tho local volunteer fird
brigade reached the scene OF the fire.
it had rapidly spread to the main
building of the mill and was rapidly
eating its way to the engine and boiler
compartments. Owing to a lack OF
water pressure, the fire apparatus be-
longing to the sawmill company could
not be used to any advantage.
During the fire an explosion occurred
in the engine room, which scattered
iron and other flying debris several
hundred yards away. Two freight
cars belonging to the Southern Rail
way standing on a track near the mill
site were consumed by the fire.
The plant was only recently over
hauled, with several additions being
made. among which was the installa-
ton OF a modern expensive bandsaw
Equipment
The loss Of the mill will affect about
300 employees, who will be thrown out
bf employment.
It Is known that only about 40 per
cent. OF the actual loss is covered by
insurance. The plant will be rebuilt
as soon as possible If the present plans
of the management do not miscarry.
