TOUR OF COUNTRY
Glad He Visited lowa-Says "Proeres.
sives Were Cordiai"-Trip viii
Clarity Acts of Administration.

Sedalia, Mo.-President Taft swung
back into Missouri to become the guest
of the state fair. He left Iowa behind
and in discussing his trip through that
state the president declared his recep-
ton was most cordial and pleasing.
Il am glad | went to Iowa." he said.
Il had no fear that my reception
would not be cordial. Some had sug-
gested otherwise, but not Iowans.
Perhaps the wishes were father to
the thought. At any rate, | wish to
testify my gratitude to the governor,
to the state officers, to the congress
men Of Iowa and to the senators for
their cordial reception of me without
regard to the question whether they
agreed with me in politics, and /
want to say the same thing about
the people who turned out. believe
they have learned something that
had in my heart to tell them and /
guess it has not done them any
harm"
Explaining his western trip, Presi-
dent Taft said that, while many per-
sons thought that president should
keep to the White House in Washing
ton and while he realized the force OF
this argument, it was hard to sit at
the seat of government with strong
feeling in your breast Of desire for
expression of a character that shall
not be denunciatory, that shall not be
partisan in form, but merely in a
quasijudicial way to state your rea.
sons for your action. He believed 1t
helped clarity the situation to get out
into the country and give voice to his
views

Whole Country Is. Affected 10y
General WaIkout.
MEN OBEY ORDER OF LEADERS
Reports From Many Cities Show
Great Industrial War Has Begun
Chicago Authorities Prepare
to Handle Emergency.

Chicago.-The big railroad strike is
under way. 1t started officially when
many employees on the Illinois Cen
trail and the Hartman lines refused
to resume work when, in response to
the orders sent out last week, thou
sands of men in shops all over the
system laid down their working tools
and marched out.
There was little excitement at the
Burnside shops of the Illinois Central
when the walkcut order went into
effect. The men began to leave the
works promptly at 10 o'clock, coming
out in groups Of six or seven.
AS the men left the works they
passed through the crowd gathered
along the tracks without stopping to
talk to them. Practically all of these
men who left the shops went directly
to their homes. There was no move
ment toward the saloons and they
We're practically deserted early y the
day Immediately after the strike.
Between 5000 to $500 men left the
Burnside shops before II a. m. They
included machinists, boilermakers,
car men, painters, carpenters and pit
men in their ranks.
Expecting trouble before the day is
over, the police of three stations are
on the qui vive and prepared to han
die any emergency
The walkout followed the strike or
der sent out by ]. w. Kline, president
of the International Brotherhood of
Blacksmiths and Helpers, calling for
"all crafts to strike" and for every
man to do his duty
The strike dispatch was sent TO the
following places, which shows it's di-
mansions: Central, ILL.,: Memphis,
Tenn; Oakland, CAL; Birmingham

Roughly estimated, the number of
men expected to sever their connec-
ton, temporarily at least, with the
Illinois Central and the Hartman
lines, runs to 10000, and they cover
a territory embraced in fifteen states
throughout the west and south. The
figures in this connection are as fol-

phenson told the special Investigate
ing committee of the senate that he
had practically no personal knowledge
of the ways in which money was ex-

$107,7 93.05 was reported to him to
have been expended. Most of this
amount, he said, was paid to J. II.

Cleve Of Marinette, two bankers who
acted as treasurers of the campaign
fund Mr.. Puelicher and Mr.. Van Cleve
were authorized to pay out the money
as directed by E. A. Edmonds OF APP

at that time state game warden, under
instructions from Mr.. Stephenson He
further said he knew nothing about
the reasons which caused three Demo
Gratis to absent themselves on the day
of Mr.. Stephenson's election as sen.
ator.

here. The death of this notable figure
in the naval history of the nation was
for the moment that of an unknown

Cevera's defeat at Santiago.
Schley was apparently in perfect
health short time before he fell
upon the street on Fifth avenue and
Forty-fourth street and died before
doctor could be summoned.
Admiral Schley, the man who
smashed the Spanish feet at Santiago.
was one of the leading figures in the
navy for generation. He
was born in Frederick county, Mary
land, in 1889. After graduating at An
napolis in 1860 and serving during
the Civil war in minor capacities. he
was commissioned in 1866 as lieu.

been lost from civilization for nearly
two years, and the finding of them in
