Atlanta. Ga, March 10.--'Prcsldont
TAFT, In IL speech before the closing
sesson OF the Southern Commercial
congress tonight. made II plea to the
young men of the new south to take
UP the political issues of the day from
a broad and liberal standpoint and to
eliminate from their consideration
narrow purtisanship and sectional
ism.
Come fully into our national com
munion,' said the presid mt. with the
patriotic purpose of stimulating the
progress of our civilization In every
right direction. maintaining our coun
try's prosperity and accommodating its
wealth. but always In subordination Ia
higher ethical standards and to the
promotion of Righteousness and JUS
tice."
The president reviewed briefly the
accomplishments of the last congress.
declaring that in it's three sessions. 1t
had enacted more helpful legislation
than any other congress since the
civil war. Mr.. Taft asserted that the
greatest accomplishment Of the short
session. ended March 4. was the rati-
fication Of the japanese treaty. The
greatest disappointment. he said. was
the failure of congress To ratify the
reciprocity agreement with Canada. In
this connection he referred to his ac-
tlon in calling an extra session OF con-
Sress to convene on April T.
My opinion Is" said Mr.. Taft. that
majority of both houses. disregard
.f.tt.s
national opportunity and promptly
ratify the agreement before proceed
Ing to other business"
Here tho president paused for II
moment, Evidently he turned over in
his mind the democratic statement that
several of the tariff schedules would
be considered at the extra session.
IT. he added significantly. 1T be
deemed wise or n cessary to proceed
TO other business"
Perhaps, unconsciously, the presi-
dent uttered the hope that the dem
ocratS Of the new house might not
deem 1t necessary To go into other
matters than the ratification of the
Canadian agreement How far his in
flucnce In that direction viii carry
weight remains to be seen.
In the hope, perhaps, that tariff
legislation may be avoided ut the ex-
IRA session. the president today
pledged himself TO furnish to the dem
ocratic house at its regular meeting

ings at which this demand was voiced
were held here and at Kenosha. The
effort is to be pushed in the present
session OF the Wisconsin legislature
according TO plans OF residents.
The question OF liability for the
damages inflicted is serious one
with the inhabitants. The destruction
of their homes in most instances Is an
overwhelming calamity. No attempt
was made today TO accomplish any
thing but temporary patchwork of the
shattered homes. Few women re-
NAMED in the town and not one stove
was in working order. Lack of food
has already brought a pressing prob

There have been nine explosions in
10 years at the powder works, but no
disaster has compared with the pres
cnt one In the extent OF damage in
flicted. although more lives have been
lost. In the explosion of 1906 seven
mel Were killed. while two died later
of their injuries.

morning IN a pond half mile from

That the explosion started In the

Of Engineer Jospeh Flynn. himself se-

Flynns statement was supported By
that of Dr. a. j. Lowe, of Pleasant
