Aids Elopers to Wed

WINSTED, Conn, Nov. 9.-While a
posse of Norfolk and Winsted officers
were looking for Michael Latina, aged
twenty-four. and Nicolina Decahria,
fourteen. who had eloped from Norfolk,
Constable Nathanial Cordana of Win
sted, was plotting the runaways In an
automobile In search of a minister to
wed them.
Arriving in Sandisield, just across the
State line, they induced Town Clerk
Wesley Clark to leave a funeral service
in the Congregational Church to issue
marriage license. The bride gave her
age as eighteen, but on account of her
youthful appearance neither OF the two
ciergymen who had just officiated at the
funeral would tie the knot.
The couple, chaperoned by Constable
Cordana, were then driven In the auto

been obtained, the girl again giving her

TAFT L|KENS own
HARD ROW TO PATH
LINCOLN TRAVELLED
Sees Similarity in Criticisms
of His Course and
Abuse of Martyr.

HODGENVILLE, KY, Nov. 9.-Seem-
ingly drawing a parallel between the
abuse heaped on Abraham Lincoln, and
hts own experiences, President Taft
spoke today at the dedication of the
Lincoln Farm Memorial here.
The difficulties encountered by Lin
coin from moral reformers" and
members of his own party" were
characterized by the President as "the
ernment."
The President said in part:
AT the outset Mr.. Lincoln encoun-
tered the difficulties that fall to the
ernment-difficulties which are intensi-
fed by the greatness of the issues at
hand, but which have all the same
characteristics when they arise from
the overzeal of moral reformers.
Those who wished slavery abolished
felt toward Mr.. Lincoln greater de-
gree Of hatred and contempt during the
two years of his administration than
his breast to the shafts of criticism
from this most important element of
the Republican party, and waited: NO
man in public life was so much abused
by his friends as Lincoln.
Calls 1t Appropriate.
"It is eminenuy appropriate that the
farm where Lincoln was born should
come into public possession, and should
have erected on it a suitable memorial
in which to preserve mementoes Of his
personality and biographies of his life.
Few men have come into public
prominence who came absolutely from
the soil as did Abraham Lincoln. 1t is
difficult to imagine the lack of comfort,
accommodation and the, difficulties Of

found for him, however. he had a
wcran of strength of character and Of
education enough to assist him. He
said he never received any education
metic to the rule Of three: but ne had
access to books. and whether he kept
store or acted as the fiat boat man
on the, Mississippi. or finally came to
thoroughly.
Stirred Sympathies.
His evident sympathy for the COL
cred race. his reused sense Of justice
in their behalf. his earnest passions to
secure them freedom and equality Of
opportunity had their inspiration in the
suffering and Limitations Of his own
early life'
The m,vement inaugurated five years
ago by Robert J. Collier. of New York,
for the erection Of a suitable memorial
to Abraham Lincoln at the place Of his
birth is now an accomplished fact.
The cornerstone for the memorial
structure was laid by President Roose-
velt on the centennial anniversary Of
Lincoln's birth two years ago last
The memorial building is an imposing
structure OF white stone. It is Of classic
design, with giant pillars ornamenting
the front and two sides. The entrance
Is approached by broad flight Of ter
raced steps.
Considering the fact that the civil
war, Of which Lincoln himself was the
central figure. was fought out only half
a century ago, 1t Is regarded as of
especial significance that the dedication
of memorial in his honor should be
an event Of such distinct national in
terest and national proportions.

SCHOOL ORCHESTRA
ORGANIZED At TECH,
CRANDALl DIRECTOR
Has Twenty Pieces and
May Be Enlarged to
Thirty.

Combining pleasure and instruction in
music with school work, an orchestra
of twenty pieces has been organized at
the Mckinley Manual Training School.
Lee Crandall, jr, a well-known WASH
ington violinist, Is leader Of the stu
dents organization.
Serious work Is to mark the, instruc-
tion of the Tech" orchestra. Their
leader is an experienced musician and
instructor He is a member Of the fac
ulty of the Washington College of Mu-
sic, and prominent In local musical
circles. Leader Crandall was educated
at Brussels and Leipsic, continuing his
education here before he became a
teacher.
I'VE expect to have about thirty pieces
in the orchestra early this season." said
Mr.. Crandall today. explaining that now
there are more applicants for places in
the orchestra than there are instru-
ments. Difficulty in securing enough
musical instruments for the ambitious
student musicians is the principal prob
lem to be solved.
The orchestra will participate In the
celebration November %, at the McKin.
ley High School, commemorating the
completion of the new addition to the
building.

an at the Twilight Club banquet here

II have been through this fight for

has taken eighteen years to get the
people worked up to the idea of elect
ing senators by popular vote. \ ma
jority in last Senate was recorded in
favor at last session, but il takes a
two-thirds vote. If you will look up
the names of the men who voted
against it, you will see how many of
them are going out of the Senate.
And they ought TO go, too" con-
tinued Mr.. Bryan. There is popular
demand for direct election of senator's
The people know that such a method
of electing senators will result in
cleaner elections, the placing in office
of men who are untrammeled. 1t is

have made a definite proposition to
leading citizens 10 this plain and
simple effect:
If they can sell blocks of the arop-
erty that were bought for passenger
terminals on Twiggs street when the
road came in here for $50. ZOO cash they
will enter into a guarantee to imme-
ldiately extend the road north and ul-
timately TO the connection with the
Atlanta. birmingham & Atlantic The
reason of the situation is that the road
is bonded for $4,000 per mile, while
the construction costs $4,000 for each
mile. The cash supplied by the sale
supplementing the bonds. will enable
the building of the road to Dunnellon
and a connection with the Tampa and
Jacksonville, whence il will reach a
connection at Sampson City over the
Georgia Southern and Florida and on
northward, the operating agreements
having already been provided.
This is designed to be but tempor-
ary. but for all the practical purposes
of Tampa's business people il would
be as good as permanent. The gentle
men have had a conference since noon
with Mayor D. Z. Mckay, and a plan
has been suggested by which the sale
might be effected to the city in con.
nection with library site. park pur-
poses. and other municipal uses. The
property would be good investment
at that money for the city. and il
would be godsend TO the public and
the special interests involved The
matter will be speedily digested and
laid before the public Tor considera-
ton.
