FOND DU LAC BENDS
THE KNEE TO TAFT
City in La Follette's State Which Can.
celled Invitation Apologies and
Renews It-Trouble Due to
Oshkosh.

| Salem, Ore. Oct. l3.-The Fond dl
Lac incident, the most interesting con
nected with the recent travels Of a presi
dent, was officially declared closed OF
board the Taft special when il stopped
for several hours here yesterday on th,
way to Sacramento and San Francisco
And President Taft is looking forward
TO his visit to Fond du Lac. in the in
surgent state of Wisconsin, with an in
terest greater than that felt in an,
other city on his 10000 mile itinerary
The indications are that there will b.
big time there on Taft day. Oct. 20
For awhile it looked as though this
gates Of the city were to be closed
against the chief executive of the ma.
ton, all because the people thought II
was Oshkosh--when it really was APP
pleton-that wanted to be treated 4
little more literally in the division Of
the presidents time on a busy October
day in the home state Of Senator Ia
Toilette, rival candidate for the Re
publican nomination in 1912.
In order to give Appleton a little
more equitable treatment it was nee
essary to cut down some of the time
allotted to Fond du Lac. This caused
tho storm clouds to lower and, while
the tempest ragged, the telegraph wires
were kept hot with messages, which
chased the presidential train all the way
from Cheyenne to the Pacific coast. The
mayor of Fond du Lac announced that
ii Fond du Lac could not meet Mr..
Taft for two hours and half they
didn't want him at all. This decision
apparently was not unanimous, however,
for there were other kilograms sent
urging the president to come to Fond du
Lac, even if it be only for few min
utes.
The announcement having been made
from Fond du Lac several DAYS ago
that the city had withdrawn its invi-
tation to the president and would re-
fuse to entertain him, the entire off
cial correspondence by telegraph was
given out here to make the situation
entirely clear. This correspondence made
clear. the misapprehension concerning
Oshkosh. The final communication re-
ceiyed on the presidential train from
the mayor and the chairmen of all the
committees poured oil on the troubled
waters, renewed the invitation, an
nounced that misunderstanding had
led to "hasty action" and promised
hearty welcome.
So. Fond du Lac will entertain Mr.
Taft for an hour and a half, instead
of two hours and a half on the after
noon of Thursday, Oct. 20.

Bordwel, in the superior court, for the

killed in the Los Angeles Times explo-
sion of October l, 1910, spent yesterday
in his cell, as Columbus day observance
prevented session of the court. The
lawyers for the defense were in consulta-
ton with the two Mcnamara brothers
for several hours yesterday, comforting
on the details OF the case to be made
out for the alleged wholesale dynamiters.
Clarence 5. Darrcw, chief counsel for
the accused, indicates that his line of de-
Tense Will be to show that an explosion
of gas and not of dynamite was the
cruise of the catastrophe. The death of
Charles j. Haggerty has been taken as
a basis for the murder charge by the
prosecution, because this maehinist's
body was found nearest the heart Of
the explosion. The prosecution will con
tend that dynamite set off by cloekwork
killed Haggerty.
The defense is insisting on clear
statement of each mans attitude toward
the question OF organized labor in exam

men have been temporarily selected and
spent Wednesday night under lock and
