liver Memorial Next Thursday.
Atlanta, Ga., March 11. President
Taft, in a noteworthy address bciom
tbe Southern Commercial coiigrt&s,
spoke, lu part, as follows:
"It is a great pleasure for me to
come to the south again. When 1 was
here In the early part of my adiuiu
istration, I expressed the hope that I
might be permitted to do something
to bring the 1101th and the south
i-loser together. My hope has been
realized, for my appointments of
southern men to high ofllee have been
received throughout the north as well
as the south as proof that birth in the
south and participation in the civil
war on the side of tlu confederacy
was not the slightest bar to prefer
ment to the most exalted position of
those plainly competent and PL
Recent Congress' Work.
"The Sixty-first congress, just
closed, has enacted more useful and
progressive legislation in Its three sc'S
pi-jus than any congress since the war.
The close of its third, its last and its
shortest session, was obscured bv such
nn apparent clogging of business as to
leave the impression that it had done
at that session little or nothing in the
way of helpful laws. It is due that con
gress to remove such an Impression,
lor it has done several things that do-
servo commendation.
"Of course, the greatest disappoint
ment of th session was the failure of
the senate to follow the lead of the
house in ratifying the reciprocity
agreement with Canada. Under this
agreement the duties on the importa
tion of agricultural products, includ
ing cereals, vegetables, fruits and live
cattle, from each country into the oth
er are aholished and free trade in
them is established. In addition, there
also is free trade in, fish and in rough
lumber, while there are substantial re
ductlons in iron ore, coal, meats, floui
and all secondary food products and
ipon a substantial range of manufact
u res.
Offer General Free Trade.
"When we entered upon the negotia
tions I authorized the secretary of
state and his commissioners to offei
free trade in everything, but this Can
nda could not grant us, because it has
a protective system and was afraid of
the competition of our better organ
ized industries.
"The south is particularly interested
in the fact that vegetables and cotton
seed oil are put on the free list by the
removal of the high duties. Hut 1 do
not ask your support on tho ground of
any local advantage. I r.sk It because
I regard this treaty, if adopted, as the
beginning of a new relation with our
rapidly growing neighbor at the north
and ourselves, which will Inure great
ly to the benefit of both. The condi
tions undar which agriculture and
manufactures are carried on in both
countries are substantially the same
and the removal of the duties pro
vlded for in this agreement, or, in
deed, the removal of all duties be
tween the two countries if we could
have it. wo.ild violate no principle
that, either a rer.sena'.tle protectionist
or a reasonable tariff reformer up
holds. -
Hopes to Limit Extra Session's Worl
"Under my promise to use ny nt
most efforts to s.cne the ratification
of this agreement I have felt it my
I'nty upon the failure of the senate to
act. to call nn extra s'ssion for the
purpose of securing the ratification of
the agreement. My opinion is that a
majority of both bouses, disregarding
party lines, will seize a great na
tional opportunity and promptly pass
the agreement before proceeding to
other, if it be deemed wise or neccs
sary to proceed to other business.
"I feel confident that a test of six
months of this agreement will so vln
dicate the wisdom of adopting it as to
remove It from political discussion
thereafter. I do not regard it as a
matter of sectional interest. I be
lieve it will inure in a large me as
ure to the benefit of this whole coun
try." Mr. Taft asserted that the greatest
accomplishment of the short session
was the ratification of the Japanese
treaty.
NO TRACE CF STOLEN JEWELS

riymouth, England, March 11.
When the Hamburg-American line
steamer Amerika arrived here it was

New York, March 11. Now that
Howard Elliott has refused to accept
the presidency of the Missouri Pa
cific to succeed Georga Gould, it bo
came known that one of the men un
der consideration for the position is

MORE WHITE FIREMEN
MAY REFUSE TO WORK
Strike May Be Galled on Roads
Cincinnati, March 11. An accurate
estimate of the result of the strike or
der sent to white firemen of the Cin
cinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pa
cific railroad is impossible. The
brotherhood officials stated there had
been no interruption of service. Tho
men are striving to have negro fire
men excluded from fast freight and
passenger runs, while the railroad
claims that under the working agree
ment with the road the negroes are
eligible to promotion with tho whites.
That the strike may spread shortly
to other lines wa3 hinted at union
headquarters. It was stated that oth
er roads had been aiding the Cincin
nati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific
to move perishable freight and that
unless this practice was stopped the
union men on those lines would bo
called from their engines.

Measure Is Finally Placed on Third
Reading, When It Is Killed by a Vote
of Fifty-Two to Thirty-Three House
. Adjourns Until Monday.
Lincoln, Marth 11. The house kiljed
"he Lvans anti-treat measure on third
rending by a vote of 52 to 33. Repre
sentative Evans was taken from the
floor on a point of order and after
half a dozen dilatory motions the bill
was read a third time and final vote
taken. The house theu adjourned un
til Monday.
Evans' effort to save his bid kepi
the house in en uproar for four hours.
Five members were absent, three ol
them excused, and Evans Insisted
when his bill, II. R. 21)8, came up for
third reading that it be put over uulil
all the members could be present. The
majority saw in the situation a good
chance to kill the bill without dim
culty and refused to put It over
Evans' motion to put it over was lost
He immediately began filibustering
tactics. After he had quoted tho same
thing from the bible and Shakespeare
several times over the house began to
roar with cries of "shut up," "sit
down," and similar boisterous objec
tions, but Evans maintained the llooi
and continued to talk about every sub
ject under the sun. When the major
ity tried to dro'wn him out with cough
Ing and applause, he thanked them for
their touching appreciation and solici
tously hoped that their bronchial dim
cultles wouldn't last.
Kotouc of Richardson finally dug oiu
a forgotten rule in Roberts' rules of
order limiting the debate to speeches
ten minutes long. The speaker held
that tyie rule applied to the proceed
ings of the house just as all of Rob

by a vote of 52 to 37

described conditions as they are in
Colorado. She asserted that the writ
crs who have written of that state
have erred from lack of knowledge
"Of all the women holding office in
Colorado,", said Mrs. Grenfell, "I have
never heard of one who lias abused a
public trust."

to the question of reapportionment,

early after passing nine bills on ft(il
vote. The senate will convene again
at 2:30 p. m. Monday.
Among: the measures passed was
one, prohibiting public exhibitions ol
hypnotic Influence and other psychic

when discussed in committee of the
whole.

THE DISTRICT COURT
From Suturduy'a Dully.
Judge Travis held a session of the
district court today, commencing at 1
o'clock the case of George llerger of
Elmv.ood against John llabel, the
litigation arising over the possession
of a farm which Mr. llerger pur
chased last sumemr. The evidence of
plaintiff and witnesses was in sub
stance that Mr. llerger became the
owner of the farm on August 19,
1910, and that within a few days he
made a lease of the same to llabel on
the condition that fifty acres should
be plowed at once, beginning on the
next Thursday after the leaso was
closed. The defendant did not come
up to that part of the agreement; in
fact, did not get to the place with
plows and teams until the following
Friday. By this time Mr. llerger con
cluded that he was not the man he
wanted on the farm, and when he
appeared made an oral agreement
with him to ree.lnd the lease, paying
Mr. llabel the sum of $12.50 for a
release of the premises, with the
understanding that Mr. Berger should
go to the bank and take up the lease.
It appeared that llabel appeared at
the bank before Mr. Berger and di
rected the banker to hold the lease,
as ho was Interested. The check Mr.
Berger gave of $ 12.50 had been given
by Mr. Waltz, which llabel returned
to Mr. Waltz without explanation,
other than that he did not want It.
Mr. Berger had the 50 acres plowed
on the farm and sowed to wheat at a
cost of something over $100.
The lease, when made, gave Mr.
llabel possesison of the premise on
March 1, and some time In February
