TAFT REPLIES TO ROOSEVELT
President Opposes Recall of Judicial
Decisions.

Toledo, O., March 11.-Speaking to
an audience that filled to overfiowing
the coliseum, designed to hold $500
persons, President Taft declared his
opposition to the recall of judges and
to the recall of judicial decisions.
The president made no mention of
Colonel Roosevelt nor to his Columbus
speech. but he assailed some of the
doctrines there enunciated by his
predecessor In the White House.
Practically every person in the au-
dience carried an American flag and
when the president reached his per-
grafton against the recall Of judicial
decisions the flags sprang into action
and the crowd cheered with enthusi-
asm. Mr.. Taft's declaration that the
recall of decisions was without merit,
reactionary instead of progressive,
revolutionary and unstable, apparent
ly met with approval.

A story Of an exciting adventure
with a live torpedo that ran amuck
m from Plymouth. England. The
machine concerned had more than a
dozen trials with Il dummy head. and
these were highly successful.
Then. as it was required to blow up
a rock in the vicinity of the torpedo
practice range in Plymouth sound. a
live head was fitted to it. This seems
to have had a disastrous effect. The
employment of Il live torpedo is such
q rare event. and the sight of it's de-
%structive effects so striking that the
crews Of other torpedo craft were at
tracted to the spot where the blasting
operations We're to take place.
The torpedo was duly fired, and the
watchers waited patiently for the great
column Of water to rise where the rock
explosion. But nothing happened.
Suddenly they became aware that
the live torpedo was actually moving
among them. 1t had missed its goal
and was describing a curve that would
bring it back to the opposite side of
the ship that fred it. Fully alive to
their peril. the crew Of this vessel vas
able to get her away from the spot
just in time. A moment later and the
deadly weapon would have crashed
into the ship and blown her. with all
her crew, into fragments Philadelphia

Captain B~jornstad said the rpo
of his plan were:
To determine the correct organiza-
ton OF an infantry regiment and the
component parts or units.
To determine what is necessary in
equipment. including arms. kits, trans

equipment manual.
To test certain proposed articles of

To test every provision of the in

mend such changes as the experiment
might suggest.
To give officers and noncommission-
ed officers instruction in combat firing
and to procure data and suggestions
that will be of value in prescribing
training in infantry fire.
To further carry out his plan Captain
Bjornstad has arranged for a practice
march of over 800 miles. at the con-
clusion of which the regiment will en-
gage in maneuvers at the regular army
and national guard mobilization and
maneuvers at Sparta. Wis.
