Mrs. Philip NJ Moore, head OF the
General Federation, also spoke dur
ing the morning session. She told OF
plans which the federation had for
the betterment OF the society, among
her suggestions being the contribu-

that II would only benefit the genera

PRESIDENT TAFT DECIDES
TO TOUR SOUTHLAND, TOO
Announces 18-Day Extension Of
Itinerary as He Speeds
Across Nevada.

ON BOARD PRESIDENT TAFT's
SPECIAL TRAIN, ENROUTE, Oct
ls.-"our Travelling President" today
determined to extend his 46-day see
ing the country tour-now within
two weeks of completion-oy some IL
days.
Not even seven weeks of railroad
ing and feting and campaigning from
Boston TO the Pacific coast and back
could satisfy the presidents desire
for wandering, and fresh program
which will carry the chief executive
through the southern middle west and
| the south was announced on the train
today
The original schedule called for the
completion of the trip on Nov. l, al
Washington. but the new program
cuts the present jaunt of at Pitts
burgh on Oct. 81. and diyerts the pres
ident first to Morgantown, W. Va.
There he Will attend a college AFFAIR
and then go TO Hot Springs, Va, Tor

rush to Cincinnati to vote and then
tour Kentucky and Tennessee for sew.
eral days. The program for these
days has not been completed. IN
less the wanderlust forces a new ex-
tension of the trip, the president VIII
reach Washington, Nov. lS. and VIII
then have been on the road "a days.
In Kentucky, the president Will
make a visit which he has been prom
ising for two years to make. This -
to the Abe Lincoln Homestead Mem
ORAL. He intended originally to In
clude this visit in the present trip
but was advised to delay 1t until al
ter the elections. After voting In
Cincinnati, he will Immediately travel
south
The special train which has been
speeding about the country with the
president, will be broken up at Pits
burgh, and the chief executives spe-
cial car will be attached to regular
trains for the rest OF the journey.
A narrow escape from serious
wreck was the principal topic OF con-
versation on the presidents train as
II sped across the Nevada and Utah
deserts today. Twenty miles west Oh
Kelso. New, last night. the engineer
of the special on the Salt Lake road,
when the train had stopped for water,
discovered that a wheel on the pig
six-wheeler. had slipped tire. In
another mile the tire would have lett
the wheel completely and with the
train moving so miles an hour, would
have ditched the entire train, includ-
ing the presidents car and the private
car OF General Manager Wells OF the
railroad. The train was delayed one
hour. while a new engine was secured.
WASHINGTON. Ont 1s.-The
change in President Taft's itinerary
SO as to include Kentucky and Ten
nessee, was attributed by progressiyes
here today to the Chicago progressive
conventions endorsement OF LaFol-
lette for the Republican nomination.
When the itinerary was originally
formed the south was left out on the
theory. II was said, that the south
would send solid Taft delegations to
the national convention. Since then,
however. reports have told OF grow
ing fear among southern Republicans
that a Democrat may be elected In
1912, unless the Republicans take
some radical step.
This Is known to have been consid-
cred by the Taft managers and the
decision to visit Kentucky and Ten
nessee at this time was looked upon
here as significant.
