COURT CASES
TAFT IN TOUCH
With CAPITOL
Taking His Rest In
Augusta.

Augusta, Ca, aMrch 14.-President
Taft received dispatches from Gen.
eral Wood chief of staff of the army
stating that the mobilization OF the
troops in Texas was practically COM
plete.
1t is understood there Is no inten-
tion now of increasing the number Of
troops. 1t is believed that sufficient
force is on the ground for any i'm
mediate emergency that might arise.
The president was delighted with
the news of the decision of the su-
preme court, upholding the validity
of the corporation tax. Taft's assist
ance put the law on the statute books.
During the tariff fight over the Payne
Aldrich bill the president insisted that
such a law be held to be constitutional
despite the fact that many senators
and others who opposed it, expressed
belief that it would not stand before
the highest tribunal in the land.
1t now seems practically assured
that the president will not act on the
cases of Charles w. Morse and Johr
T. Walsh. He came here to rest ant
is anxious to spend as much time as
possible out of doors. During an au
tomobile ride yesterday afternoon thu
president visited the Augusta arsenal
and was received with a salute o
twenty-one guns.

ALBERT BECkWITH HELD
 FOR SUPERIOR COURT
Charged With Theft from Person of Pocketbook, Watch and Coins.

Albert Beekwith of Norwich, who feigned attempted suicide when ar rested in New London in April. was arrested Sunday morning on a charge of theft from the person of Serapnin Pieshoff of Fishers island. A watch, pocketbook and coins, stolen from Pieshoff, were found by Patrolman Beebe under a bed quilt in room in the boarding house of Mrs. Teresa King in Potter street. Mrs. King found BeckWitIl in the room and kept him there until the policeman arrived.
 Pieshoff told the court that he missed the last boat to Fishers island Saturday night and went to the lodg- ing house of Mrs King because after his shopping he had only 25 cents left. Beckwith came into his room, assault ed him and took his pocketbook and watch Beckwith made PieshoH promise that he would borrow s10 from friend and give it to him be- fore he would let him out. Pieshoff got a man to call a policeman and watch the house. Patrolman Beebe said he found the stolen property and was present when Mrs. King accused Beckwith of ransacing the other rooms.
 Beckwith pleaded his intoxication as an excuse for striking Pieshoff. but was sure he did not rob him. His story was so flimsy that Judge Colt had no hesitancy in binding him over to the superior court under bonds of $500. He went to jail in default.
