TAFT AT A BANQUET.
Senator Bailey Scores Roosevelt But
President Avoids Comment.

Washington, Feb. 2s-President
Taft last night heard Senator Bailey,
Texas, denOunce Theodore Roosevelt's
third term ambitions and saw 500
members of the University club rise
to their feet from a score of ban
quet tables and stand several minutes
applauding the utterance.
Senator Bailey declared. eff the
present president is not a, good enough
Republican to succeed himself, he
must be good enough Democrat to
do So
He jokingly invited the president, in
case of failure at Chicago. to enter the
Democratic party.
The president confined his speech to
the value of university training. He
laughingly asked Senator Bailey to tell
him which branch of the Democratic
party he would be received in, but
made no other political reference eX-
cept to chide his hearers for their ap-
plause of political remarks.
Senator Bailey began his speech
with a defense of the constitution.
Without intending to be offensive"
he said, Il think that George Washing
ton and Alexander Hamilton and
James Madison were better qualified
to establish a government than Bob
IaFoliette or Bob Owen
He did not say anything about
Theodore" broke in voice, and again
laughter swept the room.
Senator Bailey said that university
men had distinct duty to perform in
educating the country against adverse
political tendencies. He suggested it
would be well to teach the Democratic
party the difference between a Demo-
crat and a demagogue."
But men can be educated beyond
their ability" continued the senator,
land that's what makes a mugwump.
A man is often educated beyond his
capacity. as when he says he does not
mean to accept another nomination and
then tries to make the people believe
he did not mean what he said
Deafening shouts greeted these re-
marks and there was more cheering
for President Taft as he rose to speak,
immediately afterwards.
The president commented on the
grotesQue head dresses and paper
crowns which the banqueters wore.
He had struggled for a moment with
one that had been given him. but it
was many sizes too small
las I look around and see these
head dresses and discover only once in
a while q man that I know. / am in
clined to think that the addition of
wings in heaven is going to result in
great confusion of Identity said the
president. Il see no reason why on
the occasion of your annual banquet
you should disguise your identity. You
have nothing to be ashamed of, ex-
cept possibly your applause of political
issues.
las Senator Bailey has said. men
may be educated beyond their ca
pacity, but that is not the fault of
universities-it is the fault of the men,
or of their parents who sent them to
a place where the intellectual living
is a bit too rich and where they be
come intoxicated under the inspira-
tion of som ething stronger than their
minds are able to stand. I agree that
q university education does not pre-
vent a man from making an ass of
himself

bank of the season. Here the snow
plows ran into $4,000 feet. or more
than two miles of snow filled IN the

in the southwestern Kansas territory
the operating men in charge or the

started this way and Will follow IN
the wake of the Golden State Limited.
The Rock Island reports an all day

WANT "SIR" HARRY.
CONTINUED from Page One.l


Appearing in san Francisco several
months ago, he established an Office
and quite a practice under the name
of DIR. Wilton Abrahams." He as
ISOLATED himself, in his professional
capacity, with the Oakland hospital
and with st. Anthony S hospital, pri-
vate institution.
Miss Anna Milbrath was one of the
student nurses at the latter institu-
ton. Young and pretty, she attract
ed the attention of the doctor" and
he began a courtship. 1t is said that
he so impressed her parents with the
sincerity of his intentions that he
managed to borrow $1,000 from her
father. Suddenly both the man and
the girl vanished. They have not been
heard from since. The ensuing in
quiry revealed the astonishing facts
of Sir Harry's career.
According to the police of San Fran
cisco, his recent appearance in the
western metropolis was merely a re-
appearance, because he had been de-
tanned in San Quentin prison for about
seven years prior to his assumption
Of the name and degree of Doctor
Abrahams."
Before he went to prison for obtain
ing money under false pretenses lie
had been known as Ernest Moore
Chadwick and had married Mrs. Belva
together amicably. Then the demands
of the law separated them, but 1t Is
said that he returned to his wife as
soon as he was released.
Thereupon he constituted himself a
physician, the police declare.
Apparently he had some claim to
skill and knowledge in the medical
line, for he gained the confidence of
several nota BILE surgeons. One of these
introduced him to the bank where the
check was passed.
The check was drawn on a South
American bank, it is alleged. The
San Francisco institution did not cash
it and even refused to allow the doc
tor to draw $1,000 on it until it's
validity could be verified.
In the meantime ''Dr. Abrahams''
was counting Miss Milbrath, who was
heiress to an estate of $4,000.
It is believed by the police of San
have been performed with formality
in the brides home had not the doc
tor been afraid of the discovery of
the forged check
When he had vanished there was
an immediate investigation of his
record. It was learned that he had
been representing himself as an Eng
lish nobleman, Sir Harry Cooper"
who had private reasons for travelling
incognito in America
1t was also learned that, upon his
departure for the seven year soJourn
in prison, sir Harry had admitted
that he had married six women. There
were several in Australia. one in Can
ada and two in San Francisco.
Burglary, forgery and fraud had
been among the complaints made
against the captivating doctor dur
ing his dashing youth He had been
arrested for bigamy, counterfeiting,
cashing worthless drafts and swindling.
Otherwise his record was clean.
Immediately a nationwide search
for him and the girl he had duped was
begun. 1t was learned four days ago
that he was on his way to New York.
The police have been on the qui vive
ever since Whether they found the
man or not they refused to say.
