SENATOR TAYLOR
CALLED BY DEATH
Continued from Page One.

| in Knoxville will be conducted by Rev.
DIR. Neighbors, Of Bristol, Tenn, a
Methodist clergyman and close friend of
the deceased.
Senator Taylor died at Providence Hos
pital yesterday morning at $40 O'Clock,
after a long illness. He had been in poor
| health for several months, and the knife
was resorted to on Thursday by DR..
Harrison Crook, his physician, in an ef-
fort TO save his life. Although he rail-
lied from the immediate effects Of the
operation, he steadily sank later, lapsing
into unconsciousness at o'clock yes
terday morning and remaining in a COM
atose state until the end.
At the time of his death Mrs. Taylor
her brother, Charles st. John; Mrs s
T. Williamson, and DR.. Crook were at
the Senator's bedside. Senator Luke
Lea, OF Tennessee. remained at the bed
side all night, leaving for his apartments
to take short rest just before Senator
Taylor passed away. Mrs Taylor suf-
fered considerably from the shock, and
was under medical caro- at the hospital
for the greater part of the day, return
ing to her apartments in the evening.
Prominent in Politics.
Senator Robert Love Taylor was a
prominent figure in Tennessee politics
for years. He served three terms as
governor before coming to the Senate,
and was defeated for fourth term by
the incumbent of. the gubernatoriaI
chair. Gov. Ben W. Hooper, at the last
election.
He was born at Happy Valley, Carter
County, Tenn, July 81, 1850. at the place
on the wautega River where the first
fort was established by John SEWER.
His parents were Nathaniel G. Taylor,
former member of Congress and
Commissioner of Indian Affairs under
President johnson, and Emily Haynes
Taylor. daughter of Landon c. Haynes.
Confederate Senator from Tennessee.
He was elected to the Forty-sixth Con-
gress from the First Tennessee district
In 1878, and was a Cleveland elector
for the State at large in 1884. He
served as pension agent at Knoxville
in 1885, and was elected to his first
term as governor in 1886, being re-
elected in 1855.
He was again a Cleveland elector in
1892, and was elected TO a third term
as governor in 1896. He was a lawyer.
He was nominated for the United
States Senate in the Democratic pri-
mary election Of 1906. and elected in
1907. His term of service would have
expired March 3. 1918.
In addition to his political achieve
ments, Senator Taylor had a wide rep
utation as lecturer, his most popular
lecture being 'sThe fiddle and the bow"
a quaint combination OF the folk lore
and songs of the East Tennessee noun
tain region, interspersed with negro dia-
lect stories and renditions OF plantation
melodies on the violin.

OUTLOOK is GOOD
In WALL STREET
Developments During Last Week
and Good Crop Prospects
Have Soothing Effect.
By THOMAS c. sHorwELL.

New York. March 3i.-In such a mar
/. ket as the one now progressing in Wall
street, reactions come from time to time
as a matter Of course. OFTEN II Is pos
| sible to see one coming a day or two in
! advance. but usually they are in progress
and ended before the general public re-
alizes what is going on. Therefore. the
best authorities are now advising the
public TO pay no attention TO reactions
except to take advantage Of them to pick
UP stocks II they are not already sup
piled. The flood Of news favorable to
business and the market has been so
great that a reaction Is due almost any
day now. There are thousands of people
ready TO buy on any decline, being finally
convinced that this advance Is permanent
and not manipulated. Manipulation Is. OF
course. going on to some extent. A mar
ket will no more move without leadership
than corn will grow without cultivation.
The favorable developments are many
and important. First there Is the elimi-
nation OF Roosevelt. and the proof thus
furnished that the people will demand
truthfulness and honor in high places.
The great labor troubles OF the world are
being smoothed out. The British coal
strike. throught its surprisingly bad lead
ership, has hurt the cause of organized
labor so severely that the American
miners have wisely decided TO be reason
able. The soft coal miners have already
arranged not TO strike. and the hard coal
miners will make such an agreement
after a few weeks of rest. All the
miners will get advanced wages. The
railroad locomotive engineers have ever
been been distinguished by a high sense
OF duty and honor, and they will not
strike, but will adjust their differences
peacefully. The banks are in sound con-
ditIon. The United States is showing the
proper spirit in providing for the safety
of its citizens I'm Mexico. The Chicago
packers have been set free. thus fur
ther dIscrediting the Sherman antitrust
law. President Taft is standing firm for
a scientific revision Of the tariff. The
people are rich and anxious to speculate.
Even copper metal is in sound trade
position.
