TARY VISIT BUFFALO.
First Presidential Visit to That City
Since Mekiniey's Assas.
sination.

Buffalo, April S0.-President Taft
and Secretary of State Knox, as guests
of the Buffalo "Ad' club at luncheon to-
day, made two speeches which won
them enthusiastic applause. The pres
ldent spoke Of his legislative hopes,
but declared that he preferred being
advertised than to advertise himself
despite the criticism that he did not
sufficiently employ that agency. Knox
took a decided fling at some news
papers" which, he declared, in diluting
news We're as guilty OF wrong-doing as
men indicted under the pure food act
Tor diluting f%oodstuffs."
Especially" added the secretary, tif
that dilution springs from malice or
attempt to misrepresent."
The president and Knox reached
Buffalo this morning. They breakfast
ed at the home of Ansley Wilcox, after
which Taft spent two hours at hard
work in the library of the Wilcox home
where, in 1901, Roosevelt took the oath
of Office as president of the United
States following the death of Mckinley
a few blocks away. Taft is the first
president to visit Buffalo since those
fateful days. Shortly after noon the
president held a reception at the cham
Der Of commerce. He also. visited the
University club to meet a number of
Yale alumni, and from there went to
the Gratwick cancer laboratory for q
brief visit. After speaking at the ban,
quet of the chamber Of m in
convention hall tonight, the preside. \,
left for Pittsburg.

Ten Die in Hotel Fire.

Cornwall, Ont, April 29.-Ten per-
sons lost their lives in a fire which
destroyed the Rossmore hotel and a
number Of stores here early this
morning, and a large number were
badly injured.
The guests in the hotel were awak-
ened at an early hour by the changing
of the hotel fire gongs and many on
the ppe floors rushed to the exits
only to find their escape cut off by
binding smoke and flames. Several
were killed in jumping from upper
windows and some were overcome by
smoke and died in the flames.
The hotel was largely ~patronized
by steady boarders and three were an
exceptionally large number of women
and children in the building. Many of
the guests were forced to flee to the
streets in the scantiest attire.
The property damage is s250,00o.

CHARGES corruption.

Chicago, April 30.-According to
copyrighted story printed his morn
ing in The Chicago Tribune that that
newspaper has in its possession, sworn
statement by Charles A. White, a
member of the lower house of the H.
linois legislature from the f%orty-ninth
district, charging that VIM. Lorimer
was elected to the United States senate
last May by bribery and corruption.
White who is a democrat, in his state
ment says that he received $1,000 for
voting for Lorimer. This money, he
alleged, was paid him by Lee O'Neil
Browne democratic leader of the last
legislature.
Efforts made early today to reach
Senator Lorimer and Representative
Wilson were unsuccessful. At SPRING
field, Governor Deneen declared a
searching investigation of the charges
is due the people of Illinois.

WILL BUILD LINE THROUGH
NORTH W.
TO DEVILS LAKE.
SURVEY IS NOW ORDERED
Proposed Route Through State is Not
Yet Known-Road Will Open Vast
Territory and be Great
Boon to State.

Fargo, April 20. 1s1o.-That the
Milwaukee railroad is going to con-
struct a line from Watertown, S. d.
to Devils Lake, N. D.. is the positive
information received in the city this
morning. The information received
here was private, but none the less
authentic.
The surveying party will report at
Webster. S. D., in a very short time,
and grade lines will then be run nearly
due north.
What course the road will take has
not been intimated, but it is thought
only natural that it will pass through
Fargo. In this case another vast
new territory On each side will be
opened to the trade center Of the
state. Besides opening the new terri
tory, an improved Milwaukee train
service would result. The construc-
ton of this line will mean much to the
development of North Dakota in gen
eral.
