TAFT TELLS STONE

Missouri Senator Finds Out
Where President Stands
on Reciprocity.

Once more, and emphatically, Presi-
dent Taft today declared his opposition
to any and all amendments to the reci-
procity agreement that may be offered
In the Senate. He did this during the
call of Senator Stone of Missouri, the
only active advocate the treaty has in
that body.
Senator Stone said after the confer
ence that the Root and Lodge amend
mcnts, and any and all amendments,
will be introduced in opposition to the
Presidents wishes.
According to Senator Stone. the word
has passed along in the Senate that
the President was not. after all, very
much against the Root amendment AS

with the determination to press the bill

The President has repeatedly told his
friends in Congress that he was not
seriously for or against any other
measure now before Congress except
reciprocity. He is interested in all that
Congress does, but he proposes TO con-

board room at the Navy Yard this
morning. They were there in the hope

the $1,000 Culprit Fay, with its result

this.
Rivermen were present to swear that
the navy boats ignore signals from
smaller craft. virtually overriding them,
and making them get out of their way
on peril Of being capsized.
Charges Made.
They say the navy boats proceed at
full speed, churning up the water to
such an extent that the rowboats and
smaller launches tied along the piers

tons.
Complaint has been made by indi-
vidual members of our club" said
Clarence E. Ingling, commandant OF
the Corinthian Yacht Club, against the
Government tugs running from Wash
ington to Indian Head, and intermediate
points. They absolutely ignore signal
whistles and bear straight ahead. Some
times It is hard for a little boat to give
the entire right Of way, and the heavy
swell that the Government tugs cause
make navigation hazardous for the
small crafts. The navy boats are most
certainly ignoring marine regulations"
Several members of a party of twenty
six persons, which was aboard a launch
and passed the Dolphin shortly before
that ship hit and sank the Culprit, were
present to testify that when they blew
a signal whistle Of one blast to desig-
nate port-to-port passage, no answer
ing whistle was blown, and 1t was with
considerable difficulty that they got out
of the Dolphin's way.
Long Wait.
Among the witnesses who had much
TO tell about the tactics of the navy
ships were Howard r. Robey, William
H. Butler, and Jerome Whittle. Some
were of the belief they would not be al
lowed to testify before the board. They
waited for several hours this morning
and returned again this AFTERNOON. The
greater part Of the morning session.
which began at 10 o'clock. was devoted
to the examination of J. G. Lindsay,
owner of the Culprit Fay. Only one
witness at time was admitted to the
board room.
The Culprit Fay has been recovered
and is now fastened to one of the barges
at the Navy Yard. A big hole was
stove in her port bow, and the craft
is in a badly wrecked condition.
It is expected that the inquiry will
last several days.

Writers Urge Taft
To Commute Hanging

The Woman's National Press Associa-

The following resolution. adopted by
the association, has been sent to the
White House:
Resolved, That the Woman's Ma
tional Press Association enters its pro-
test to President Taft against the hang
tng in the District of Columbia of Mary
Iomax, a colored woman condemned
10 death for the murder of her hus-
band, and appeals to the President to
commute the sentence to Imprisonment,
as we have no moral right to take HUI
man life, as hanging is a relic of the
barbarism of the past and should not
be tolerated in the Capital of a great
nation, which is an example in other
respects for the people Of the world, es-
peciaIly in a case where the only OBJ
ject of punishment is the protection
of society. which can be just as fully
obtained by the Imprisonment OF the
condemned woman"
