were appointed a committee to take
up the agitation with respect to in

nor Harmon said the President
The mention of Harmons name
brought forth applause.
The President was then driven to
the St. Louis University campus
where he was introduced by Arch
bishop Drennon to the throng of
students in the grandstand as "The
Best President ever known" The
President remarked, in reply, that he
was not sure that he could agree
with the Archbishop.
Some others I know do not agree
to that" he added with a smile. you
have killed the LaFollette boom"
said one of the party and the Presi-
dents eyes cleaned. On the way
back to the Jefferson the crowds in
the decorated streets cheered the
President at the hotel he rested and
then had lunch with the st. Louis
Club, where an old classmate. Attor-
ney Percy Werner, introduced him
as "The greatest man in the ma
tion."
Mr.. Taft now thoroughly warmed
up over the demonstration he had
been accorded all morning, plunged
into speech defending his disap-
proval of the recall of judges. He
raised a laugh when he spoke of the
city club as "hot air club" because
it made it point to discuss things
without pressing any definite de-
cision
After the luncheon speech the
President rode out to the National
League ball grounds, where he threw
a ball into the field, starting a game
between the Cardinals and the Phil
lies.
"This is sport worth WHILE" re-
marked the president.

This Republican stronghold turned
out an immense throng and gave the
chief executive the most encouraging
greeting he has had upon his trip
to the coast.
st. Louis, if Republican leaders
know anything about it, is for Taft
for reelection. Governor Herbert S.
Hadley, who sat alongside the Pres
ident at breakfast at the Hotel JEFF
ferson, where he was the guest of
.the Mercantile Club, assured the
president in his speech that the state
would return substantial majority
for him
No matter what may be the re-
suit elsewhere you may count on
Missouri declared the Governor.
The spirit of the crowd that cheer
ed him everywhere put the President
in fine trim and he swung into the
ergy The President warmed up to
the defense of his administrative
policies, touching tonight upon the
Tariff Board and earlier in the day
upon his veto of the Arizona State
hood Bill for it's provision for the
recall of judges. He reaffirmed his
position as campaign policy. He
wanted the people to "get at the
facts" before jumping at any con-
clusion
Mr.. Taft spoke of the task before
him in his plunge into the Insurg-
ents' territory, which he reaches to-
morrow, and made it clear that he
would not deceive as to the work he
had carved out for himself.
In his speech at the Mercantile
Club the President made a passing
reference to the defeat of the Reel
procity in Canada. In doing SO he
mentioned the appearance at the
Union Station in the morning of
Speaker Champ Clark, although not
calling him by name.
Speaker Clark was reaching the
city on his way to Huntington, Kan
sas, after a tour of Missouri in
which he attacked the President for
his Tariff vetoes.. Speaker Clark
had criticised the Presidents Reel
procity policy
Il observe your distinguished fell
low citizen, the Speaker of the
House of Representatives, has en-

gestion as to who is responsible for
the Reciprocity defeat" remarked
Fthe President, his face expanding
into a smile. well, l am content to
abide by the decision. 1 don't think
it will make any difference who is
responsible in this country. I have
had sufficient experiences with

is to sit STILL"

OnS Filled With Letters,

New York, Sept 23.-Jared Flagg,

They werea arrested in raid On
Flagg's magnificent suite of offices
in the Tilden Building, where he was
operating a 80 per cent a year stock

dictate began operations its receipts
are alleged to have been a million and
a nslf dollars or more. Flagg him
self was held in $4,000 bail and Nor
gan and Nicely in $4,000 each. The
United States Attorneys office an
rourced that it would accept nothing
but gilt edge security for bail, and as
{. result the prisoners could not Sc
cure freedom.
Immediately after the prisoners had
been put behind the bars Postoffice
Inspector Kinkaid returned to the
raided office and sent a dozen patrol
wagons loaded to the brim with let
ters, books, letter copy books and ev-
cry scrap of paper down to the Post
office. They were busy for hours
cleaning out the place while crowds
blocked the streets to such an extent
that the police reserves had to be
called.

COULD CUT OFF GAS
company Would Have the Right To
Return to Artificial Gas If
1t Saw Fit

Editor Graphic have just read
in Saturdays Graphic tho franchise
proposed to be granted the natural
gas company | note also that you
say that except for the Increased
charge for extensions, the proposed
franchise is the same a. the Gray
SON. franchise. I helped draw sever
al natural gas franchises for Pine
Bluff. | do not know whether the So
called "Grayson" franchise was one of
the number or not, but | am sure
none of those passed prior to 1911,
contained any such amazing Joker"
as Is to be found in section Il of the
proposed franchise you print
This is the section which gives the
natural gas company the right to
quit furnishing natural gas at soc at
any time Its supply of natural gas
shall be exhausted" and thereafter
furnish artificial gas at $135.
10 fully understand the meaning of
this section it must be remembered
that this company (Pine Bluff Natural
Gas CO.., produces no natural gas, but
huys its supply from another COM
pany, which is not named in this con-
tract. Any time this secondary COM
pany should cease furnishing natural
gas to the pine Bluff Natural Gas
CO >, its supply of natural gas would
be exhausted" and it could then be-
gin ful hing artificial gas at $1,35
five cents less than the present
price.
We all welcome the advent of nat
ural gas, and | believe all favor
liberal franchise. But the main bene-
fit expected from the natural gas Is
the acquisition of industries now kept
away by the high cost of fuel How
then can we induce manufacturer to
locate here and equip his plant for the
use of natural gas as fuel, when he
is liable under this franchise to have
at any time to use artificial gas at
pnohibitive prices? Worse still, the
company, If 1t ceases to furnish nat
ural gas can even take up the mains
leading to the plant.
There Is still another phase-This
franchise runs for 30 years, ETC., until
1871. The old Ragland and Franklin
franchise under which artificial gas
is now being supplied expires either
in 1920 Or 1922. (The original fran
chise was granted in 1870 for so years
and afterwards amended in 1872, It
may be that the amendment extends
the term the extra two years.) Thus
II this section II is retained the arti-
fetal gas franchise will be extended
nearly twenty years without any con-
sideration therefor If this section is
then in 1920 or 1922, as the
case may be, should the natural gas
supply be exhausted" we can make
a new franchise for artificial gas, and
obtain therefor the proper considera-
ton.
A little figuring will show also that
the charge of $50 per 100 feet for ex-
te nsions is exhorbitant, but that is so
much less important that section II"
that l shall not discuss it.
/ am sure the able committee which
had this franchise In hand could not
have had sufficient time to consider
it fully. and that on reflection they
will not impose section II on the peo-
lle.
Respectfully,
