TAFT AT ARLINGTON.

Washington, May 30.-In the ivy-cov-
cred amphitheater in Arlington Nation
al cemetery, today, President Taft,
speaking in MEMORIAL exercises, re-
ferred to the Civil War as strife to
maintain the limitations of the Con-
stitution of the United States and re-
ferred to suggestions of its change.
In closing the President said in part;
1T is the solemn contemplation OF
what the Civil War and its conse-
quences really meant in the history of
our country. that makes this days cell
ehration most valuable. 1t is the relig-
ious regard for the pillar of popular
government, for the principle of liber-
ty regulated by law for the preserva
ticn of popular representative institu-
tions which this days ceremonies could
consecrate and strengthen.
ron this day il is the highest duty of
all tine people to revitalize their love
of their country and renew their devo-
ton to limitations of its Constitution
which have made il permanent and
useful TO the people and to reject, with
stern and flint-like front. all light sug-
gestion Of change in those principles
which it has cost centuries of struggle
and hecatombs OF lives to secure and
maintain.
President Taft rebuked Congress fol-
its failure to provide at Arlington q
suitable edifice in which to hold thu
annual memorial ceremonies and prop
erly attest the nations reverence fol
its honored dead.
"Sueh celebration as this, he said

WILBUR WRIGHT.
Wor|d-famous Inventor Of
AerOpIane Is Dead.
Succumbs After a Long SiTug-
gle with Typhoid Fever.
With Brother He First Demonstrated
Prac.icability Of Flight.

DAYTON, o., May 30-Following a
sinking spell that developed soon after
midnight, Wilbur Wright, the noted
aviator and inventor died of typhoid
fevec at 3.15, Thursday. Wright had
been lingering on the border for many
days and though his condition at times
gave some hopes to the members of
his family, the attending physicians,
Drs. ID. B. Conklin and Levi Splitter,
maintained throughout the latter part
of his sickness that he could not reeov-
eI.
At the death bed were the members
of his family, which included his aged
father, Bishop Milton Wright; Miss
Catherine Wright, Orviile, the coin
venter of the aeroplane: Reuehlin
Wright, and Lorin Wright. All of the
family reside in this city except Reuch-
lin, who lives in Kansas The most
alarming symptoms in Wrights sick
ness developed. "Wednesday, shortly be-
fore noon. when his fever suddenly
mounted from 1oi TO los and then
quickly subsidized to it's former stage. At
this iuncture of the crisis the patient
was seized with chils which are UNI
usual in patient suffering from fever
this high. and the doctors at Wright's
bedside were puzzled. The condition of
the aviator remained unchanged
throughout the rest of the day and
there was no Improvement until
Wednesday at midnight. Then Wright
began to show an improvement and the
watchers at his bedside were reas-
sured After resting for few hours
after midnight Wright took sudden
turn for the worse and DR.. conklin was
called. The doctor arrived at 325 and
learned that Wright had breathed his
last q few minutes before.
The noted patient was seized May
while on business trip in the East.
On that day he returned to Dayton
from Boston and consulted DR.. Cank-
lin, the family physician. He took to
his bed almost Immediately and it
was several days before his case was
definitely diagnosed as typhoid.
Throughout the early part of his i'll
ness Wright attributed his sickness to
some fish that he had eaten at a Bos-
ton hotel He explained to his physi-
clan, however. that he had no particu-
lar reason to believe that the disease
originated from this source.
Dayton. Ohio. May S0.-While definite
arrangements for the funeral of Will
bur Wright have not vet been made, it
is probable that it will be held, Satur-
day afternoon. with interment in
Woodlawn cemetery. south of Dayton.

ROOSEVELT AT GETTYSBURG.

Gettysburg, Pa. May 0.-Standing
at the spot where Abraham Lincoln de-
lr'ered his famous address, 40 years
ago, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt to-
day, spoke of the encounter between
North and South, which reached its
crisis here.
About him. massed on every side,
were thousands of persons, among
them hundreds of veterans of the Civ
il War. There was none of the fire of
campaign rally. Ex-President Roose-
welt spoke earnestly but as a preach
er rather than political leader. The
throng which heard him listened in
grave attention, with occasional out
bursts of applause. Colonel Roosevelts
speech was delivered in the National
cemetery
The eX-President came here from
oyster Bay to fulfill a promise which
he made several months ago to the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
who have been holding convention at
Harrisburg and came here to observe
Memorial day. He first spoke briefly
at luncheon in a tent, attended by
22G9 engineers.
At the cemetery in addition to the
engineers were the members of Cor
poral Sklley Post, G. A. r., No. 3. of
Gettysburg. The bulk of the crowd.
however, was made UP OF nearly 10000
excursionists who came from several
states on 20 special trains.

ton. tonight was taken as nindica-
tion that MIR. Hilles will be the Presi-
dents choice for chairman of the Re-
publican National committee in case
he is rel nominated. Mr.. Hilles would
not discuss the report that the chair

paign were to be placed in his hands
ii his choice secures the nomination.
His friends said. however. that this
was practically a certainty, in view
of his political Work for the President
and because of his association in the
last year with members of the Nation
al committee MIR Hilles will leave
Washington for Chicago June 5. the
day before the national committee
takes up the question of seating con-
tested delegations. 1t is not the Presi-
dents plan to have Mr.. Hilles super
cede Ex-senator Charles Dick of Ohio
before the committee in the matter of
contests. Neither will he interfere
with any work that may be done in
Chicago by Directors Mckinley of the
Taft Bureau. He will. however, be
the personal representative of the
Presidents-on the ground.
