Houston, Tex, oct 5.-The last
day of grace, when striking Hartman
system shopmcn might return tC

the ranks of the strikers in Texas
practically unbrokcn, so far as dis

Strikers leaped into other convey

beseeching the men not to go to work
Their appeals were without success.
Another local incident was the quit
ting in a body of the nineteen guards
from Henderson county, Tex, whose
arrival Tuesday resulted in clasf
with strike sympathizers and the kill
ing of j. j. Pipes, the twentieth mar

as Bostani Effendi considers probable,
she will, he believes, he further placed

The council of the union met yes

Rawlins, WyO., Oct. 5.-PrCsidCnt
Taft spent yesterday in Wyoming.
During the day the president stopped
at Cheyenne and Laramie. At Chey-
cnme, Charlie Irwin of the reception
committee had arranged miniature
production of the stunts" made fam
GUS from the annual frontier days
celebration
Mr.. Taft watched the bucking brOn-
ChOs, the races between cowboys and
the rOping of wild horses with great
interest. He reviewed several thou
sand soldiers from Fort ID. A. Russell
inspected the town from an automO-
bile and spoke on his tariff vctocs in
the opera house to a good sized crowd.
Gov. Carey, who accompanied the
president across the state, told Mr..
Taft that he would be backed by the
Wyoming delegation at the next re-
publican convention and that he
would receive the electoral vote of the
state of Wyoming in Nov. 1912. This
announcement was interesting be-
cause Gov. Carey was elected as an
independent and against the Candi-
dates of the sO-callcd regular" ma
chine Another item of particular in
tcrcst was the receipt by the presi-
dent of a telegram announcing that
Gov. Hiram Johnson, the insurgcnt
executive of California, would meet
the train at the California line and
go with it through the state. Gov,
Johnson will be accompanied by a
party of state officials.
In his speech at Laramie, President
Taft called out enthusiastic applause
by declaring that he was going to see
to it that the interior department al
Washington gives quicker action here
after on all matters affecting the pub
domain.
