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.
In his address at Salt Lake 'he was
introduced by Senator Smoot

hospital here at 3:25. o'clock Tuesday
morning, following an operation the
previous Wednesday.
After battling against death for al
most a week the governor's life had
& peaceful ending. 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

The governor's body was removed
to the State Capitol building at St
Paul and lay in state until the day of
burial, which took place at St. Peter.
Before removal thousands of the peo

most as a brother, looked for the last

Thursday the hands of loving
friends carried the body to its last
resting place and sorrowing hundreds
followed the casket to the boyhood

At St Peter the burial took place

Council Bluffs, la .Tames C. 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.' With the exception of
Maybray and three or four others,
none of those indicted are in custody
and for that reason the names of the
other defendants are not made public.
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.
George S. Crowell, 1109 Broadway,
Helena, Mont, says: "I was troubled
with a disordered

ages of secretions. At
times I was obliged
to get up out of bed
