out by the White House press bureau
and printed in all parts Of the coun-
try.
This untruthful report made the
progressives angry clear through,
with the result that If they ever had
any idea of supporting Taft for a
denomination, they have abandoned
it and will support LaFollette. The
only progressive who is ,avowedly' for
Taft now is Kenyon, of Iowa, who
while still posing as an insurgent
in his home state, is apparently rap
idly developing into reactionary in
Washington.

 The son did not know the contents of the will. he said, until the lawyers sent him a copy after the funeral
 James Miles. an engineer on the Eek ert estate and subscribing witness to the will. was on the stand again today. Yesterday he told of the gen erals weakened condition and of the strange ideas he had during the illness Today, asked if he had talked with John Thom, another subscribing wit ness, after signing the will, Miles re- piled:

 Will Rowland. the coachman, the only other witness called today, testi- fled that he had heard Secretary Page tell another man last summer that General Eckert was unable to trans act any business for more than a year before his death.

STEPS TAKEN TO
 BUILD VIADUCT

Meridian. Miss. February S.-(Special J. The first step toward securing vaduct or subway across the railroad tracks to the southside was taken yesterday at a meeting of the city officials with the of ificials of the various railroads. The matter was thoroughly threshed out, Mayor Parker speaking for Meridian and D. D. Curran. president of the Northeastern and Alabama and vicks- burg. being the spokesman for the rail- roads.
 Mayor Parker said Meridian demanded better protection than was afforded cit izens crossing the tracks, and called upon the railroads to state their attitude ill the matter. 0E MT. Curran responded that the rail- roads were ready to do anything in req son, but intimated that the roads did not think the situation deserved such a great expenditure as would be involved in building a viaduct or subway, however, he said, the roads would cooperate with he city to the best of their ability. 1t was finally decided that the engineers of the roads meet the city engineer and together make the necessary survey, and prepare plans for subway and an over head crossing.
 This work Is supposed to be done in the next 30 days, when another meeting will be held, and the next step taken The city is in dead earnest and no policy Of delay will be allowed by the city au- thorities in reaching @ final understand
 ing on the question which has been agi- tated for years.
