T1IFT IN SALT LAKE GREAT AUDIENCE LISTENS TO HIM IN THE TABERNACLE. SUGGESTIVE TALK DELIVERED Text Taken from the Book of Prov erbs Relative to Soft Words and Grievous Utterances. ? Salt Lake City. In the pulpit of the famous Mormon tabernacle in this city, where four years ago Theodore Roosevelt, then president preached a long sermon on right living and the duties of good citizenship, President Taft faced an audience which he said inspired him to try to. follow in the footsteps of his predecessor and 'de liver a preachment Mr. Taft did preach a sermon text and all. The immense audience in the flag-draped edifice, the splendid musical program of operatic and pa triotic selections, the enthusiastic cheering as President Taft appeared and the quick response of the audi ence to points which he endeavored to impress upon his hearers, inspired him, the president declared, with higher thoughts of country and pa triotism. The president's sermon was an ap peal for amity between people, for at tributing the best rather the worst motives to the action of others when possible to do so and not to harbor haterd and animosity. "A soft answer turneth away wrath, but grievous words stir up an ger," was the text Mr. Taft selected from the book of Proverbs. The ser mon was a homely utterance, largely made up of a relation of stories to give emphasis to the points. From the tabernacle the president was driven to review about 20,000 school children. -At one point along the line 1,000 or more children had been arranged in a living flag, red, white and blue caps and capes serv ing to outline the national emblem. Thence the president proceeded to the Young Men's Christian associa tion, where he made a brief address to an audience composed entirely of men. Lastly, the president attended ser vices especially arranged for him at the Unitarian church. After this un usually busy Sunday morning he left Salt Lake at noon for Ogden, where he enjoyed an eighteen-mile ride through Ogden canyon and made his third address of the day at Lester park there.

He had hovered between life and' death for several days, and about an hour -before dis solution came, recognizing that his end was near, took his wife's hand and weakly whispered to her, "Nora, I made a good fight, but I guess I've got to go." Then as the last gleam of in :elligence began to flicker he pressed ler hand gently to his cheek in a parting caress. Governor Johnson had been oper ited on twice before, first for removal if an ulcer and afterwards for an ab scess of the bowels.

May bray and eight four alleged associates were indicted by the United States grand jury for the southern district of Iowa, charged with conspiring to defraud by illegal use of the United States mails.'

It is stated, however, that the list in cludes many persons known in crimi nal annals in all parts of the coun try, and that nearly every name is followed by aliases, Each of these alleged confederates had a number, which is given as one of the aliases accredited to the defendant. Although specific amounts are not mentioned in the indictments, it is authoritatively stated that the amounts lost by the alleged victims of Maybray and others named, will exceed half a million dol lars. The sums lost run from $1,500 to $30,000, the latter sum having been placed on a fake horsa race, according to the evidence at hand, by a Missouri banker. The list of names of victims given in the indictments includes men of prominence in all parts of the coun try, and there Is set forth in the specific charges a number of letters of an incriminating character which gives a touch of sensationalism to the documents. Victims in eighteen states, the ter ritory of Alaska and the dominion of Canada, are named, indicating the wide range of territory over which Maybray and his associates are al leged to have plied their vocation. As a basis of operation they used, ac cording to the indictment, the cities of Council Bluffs, Davenport and Burl ington, la., St Louis, Little Rock Seattle, Denver and New Orleans, to which places, it is alleged, victims were taken by the numerous "steers." In setting out the specific instances in which violation of the postal laws are changed, the indictment includes copies of man sensational letters al leged to have been exchanged be tween Maybray and his associate, which refer to alleged "deals," and name various sums of money as hav ing changed hands as the result of the operations of those mentioned in the indictment One of these letters is dated from a New York hotel, and invites "Friend John." who it is alleged, is Maybray himself, to go to New York City, de claring. "I have a town across the river from New York in Jersey, a swell track and absolute protection. The sheriff and prosecutor and police they will be absolutely right." Another letter cited is from Polk City, la., and signed F. R. Marts, en closing $1,000, "to apply as forfeit money on our deal pending." Kidney Disease Shows Many Painful and Unpleasant Symptoms.
