conceived and executed the capture of
Aguinaldo, thereby ending the Philip
pine rebellion, and who saved San
Francisco from anarchy at the time of
the earthquake, is again to be turned

to major general. The vacancy caused
by the death of Major General Fred
erick Grant will be filled by the APP

Funston, according to reliable advices
from Washington, although for years
Funston has been the ranking briga-
der.
Six brigadiers of lower rank have
already been promoted over Funston
Generals McCaskey, Hall. Duvall,

Taft Contemplates the AwfuIness of
RooseveIt's Removal.

Alliance O., May 14.-To the deer
roar of steamboat whistles, the sharper
scream of factory sirens and the agon-

Taft hurried UP through the pottery
towns of the North Ohio river valley
today in strenuous action again to Sc
cure Ohio's vote at next Tuesday (
primary.
At East Liverpool, the president in
his first speech of the day said:
LAS for your pottery business the
Payne tariff law made certain proViS;
ions to prevent frauds in the introduce
ton of pottery into the country by
undervaIuation so as to secure the OPP
portunity of having such protection as
you needed, and it meant to you the
prosperity of all your potteries in this
neighborhood.'
AT Wellsville Taft spoke an hour Or
two before Col. Roosevelt was expected
and a circus was due to open its can
vas doors later. Country folk for miles
about We're on hand.
Did you ever think what an awful
thing it would be for this country if the
Lord were to reach down his hand and

laughed.
