OVATION IS GIVEN TO TAFT Demonstration by Members as Ha Appears Before Committee. WESTERN EXPOSITIONS FAVORED Declare They Do Wanders Toward mootfcla- War la Orlesrt TofMlral Matters. WASHINGTON. Jan. 2T.-Th appearance of Secretary Taft befora the house com mlttee on Industrial arts and expositions today In support of an appropriation for the Seattle exposition In WW, was the ela ns! fur a demonstration In his honor. The proceedings were Interrupted when he en- tercd the room by handclapptng and thump lng of the tables. Secretary Taft thought, on . account of the Philippine finances, that government would not be able to make any money con trlbutlon of considerable stxe, but he said the' War department could have the James town-Philippine exhibit sent to Seattle. In an indirect way. Secretary Taft touched upon the relations betweert. Japan and the United States. The exposition at 'Seattle, he thought, would hare a great effect all over the Pacific. "There are critical developments," he declared, "In the matter of fixing the at tention of orientals In this country, but nothing will bring to the attention of the orientals so much the Interest of this coun try In them and their Interest in us for the purpose of trade as an exposition Ilk this." . . Boost (or Japanese Exposition. . He referred to the proposed exposition in Japan In 1912 and said the Japanese expect to make It one of the greatest In the world and he added: i "I hopo It will succeed." The Japanese, he said, were anxious that the United States shall he prominent at the exposi tion. The Invitation had been accepted. "I .think the exposition will have an ex cellent effent." said Mr. Taft. "It will bring the countries on both sides of the Pacific together In a wsy probably that could not be accomplished in any other way.""" Secretary Taft declared It was more Im portant for the United Statea to have ex positions In the west than In the east be cause they have a direct bearing on our oriental trade that Will be a substantial contribution to our progress In that direc tion. "The next fifty years," he said, "will see tho greatest devolopment In the world on the Pacific, and," he added, "It seems to me we- ought, to be In It." ' After leaving the committee room, Mr. Taft visited Representative Payne of New Ybrk, republican ' floor fviannger' of the house. In the ways and means committee room, and secured the privilege of the floor for the two Philippine commissioners. Hen It o Ivegardannd Pablo Ocampo, In order that they might formally bo wel comed by the bouse. Before he left the capltol. the secretary was asked If he meant to wait and meet Mr. Bryan. "I don't expect to," he said. "I didn't even know he was to he at the capTtol today." Asked if he had -ariy comment or state ment to make respecting the presidential situation, Mr. Taft replied; "1 nave not made any statement yet." "When wlir you be ready to?- Smiling, he. answered emphatically: "Never." , Bit VAN PAYS VISIT TO CAPITOL Greets Senators and Again Outlines ' Poattlon on Financial Qnentlon. VVA8IIINOTON, Jan. 27.-W. J. Bryan held an impromptu reception In the rooms of the house committee of ways and means, where a number of democratic representa tives and many . outsiders chatted, with him. - Asked . by someone to name his choice for a running mate In the event of his nomination at Denver, he laughingly re plied: "I shan't tell. That is too bold a ques tion." To the newnpapcr men he said: "You may say that my coming to Wash ington was not to consult any men or set of. men as to whether or not I ought to be a candidate for the' nomination. I have not put that question to any man, nor shall I. The people, not individuals, have the sole right to deride that point. I am not here to solicit support for my self as a possible presidential candidate. I never solicit Individual support. I never ask any man to vote for me. In the past when I was before the peopTSas a candi dal my efforts to obtain votes have been confined to statements of my views." 'Asked about the story published In some quarters that former Senator Jones, Oliver H. P.. Belmont and others came to him a day or so ago and told him he was not the logical candidate for the democratic nomination, urged him not run and prom ised to oppose him If their advice should be disregarded, Mr. Bryan said: . "There Is not a shred of truth In that story. No one has advised me not to be a candidate. I saw Senator Jones and we did talk politics, . but nothing of the sort reported occurred. "1 have- as yet had no informal confer ence since my arrival in Washington. Tonight at a dinner at the home of Sen ator Newlands of Nevada J shall meet and confer with the first one-half of the democratic senators on the alphabetical list. "Tomorrow night I shall see the second half. After that I go at once to Roanoke, near where my daughter is attending school." Mr. Bryan before leaving the capltol dictated, In response to a request, the fol lowing interview setting forth briefly his Views on the'flnancal situation: ' Lack of public confidence Is what drives money out of circulation. Restore public confidence and money returns to Its accus tomed channels. For lack of confidence the best reload y is Insurance of bunk deposits and I have urged upon the varluua states and congress ttie passage of aome measure similar to the law adopted by Oklahoma This Drovldes for the creation nt fund by assessments upon banks In pro-4 i uinr uttpuaus ana authorises the banking board to make audi asess ments from time to time as may be neces sary to restore the guarantee fund when it Is lowered by the payment of money to depositors of failed banks. This permits the resources of all banks to be the resources of each bsnk and Insures each depositor against loss. The Oklahoma statute permits national banks to take ad vantage of the state law and national law should permit state banks to come under the provisions of thst law In ststes which have no guaranty system. As to an elastic currency, I think provl sions could be msde for sufficient elas ticity In times of emergency by a law pro vding for live Issue of United Slates notes such notes to be loaned by the govern ment to the banks upon adequate security and at a rate of Interear which would com pel the retirement of the notes when the emergency Is over.

Regis Not Only the Finest but the Most Comfortable in New York SOME POINTS IN ITS FAVOR None of New York City's great hotels has been moro talked about than the St. Regis, at Fifth Avenue and Fifty-fifth Street. Recognized as the finest hostelry In the world, Its chief claim to popularity lies in the fact that It offers the largest measure of refined personal comfort at standard prices. The St. Regis has come to bo recognized as tle loading living and dining establish ment In New York. It Is not an experi ment, but u well-established necessity In the city's hospitality. It has been tried ami tested by thousands, and not found wanting. It represents a superior phase of hotel life and stands unrivaled for com fort arid home-likeness. . On this subject the London Times, In an article published soon after the St. Regis opened its doors, remarks: "If a great art connoisseur planned to. furnish a house so that It would give the highest pleasure and com fort to his intimate personal friends, he could do nq more thah tho 8t. Regis does for all Its guests." For some unaccountable reason, living at the St. Regis has been considered by many as a luxuary beyond their means, and all sorts of foolish and exaggerated reports have been circulated regarding the prices prevailing there. The truth Is, that the cost of living at the St. Regis is no greater than at Mother first-class hotels, and, con sidering Its exceptional accommodations and service, It Is even less. This Is shown by the fact that a beautifully furnished room of large size may be had for M a day, or the same, with private bath, for $5 a day. Parlor, bedroom and bath from (12 upward. The restaurant charges are no higher than In other first-class hotels. The Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company Hartford. Conn., JOHN M. TAYLOH. President. I'l'RKLY MITI AL.

Toaelher with election of foot Rail loach, Mltrlr o Ha Made This Week. MA tMfON. Wis., Jan. n.-fflpoclaU The festure of Wisconsin athletics now Is the work of "Biddy" Rogets. captain and forward of the basket ball team who, In the game axalnst the Illlnl, es tablished a new Intercollegiate record by scoring twenty free throwa out of a possible twebly-six. It Is probably safe to ssy thst this record will stand for some time, as games such as that played at Urhana are few and far between. Forty-six fouls were railed during Its progress. The work of the basket ball five thus far has been both surprising and grati fying to Wisconsin rooters. With but one old man on the team, tha recdrd made thus far Is three victories, all of them by decisive scores. The men are Just now rounding into cbndltlon and are playing a fast article of ball, una of the surprises of the work done thus far is the playing of Kheppard, for ward, and Llndemann, guard. Coach Angell has a new combination that was worked for the first time against Minnesota Saturday night. This waa tho shifting of Kwenholt from a for ward position to a guard and the play ing of Sheppfird In the vacant forward position. Rogers has not struck his gait at bosket throwing as yet,' he having been out but two weeks. Last year, however, he was one of the best for wards In the league.' Wisconsin Ont for Honors. There is the feeling here that Wis consin will win the championship this year. Minnesota has but one man back this year and it la thought that Chicago is not as strong as " reputed. Chicago has two stars In Page and Schommer. The latter Is one of the best centers playing in the west, but Coach Angell relies upon Jack Wllce. the substitute center, to bold him down. Wllce waa a member of the Central -Young Men'a Christian Association team of Mil waukee last year and played against Schommer a number of times, besting him each time they met. In tho Chicago game he will be pitted against his old rival. Wisconsin was much wrought up over the charges made by Purdue after the game last week. Coach Jamieson of the Boilermakers Issued a statement to the effect that the Badgers used unneces sary rough tactics, but In the game Fri day night, if there was any roughness, Purdue came In for more than their share. Coach Ten Eytk has a likely bunch of freshmen candidates out for the crew and It begins "to look as though the Badgers might duplicate their performance of last year when, they bested all the other fresh men eight at Poughkeepslc. The work thus far haa been confined to the machines and the men will be kept here until the lake opens up. 'The varsity crew candidates have been working and look very prom ising. Commodore Hayes has been cen sured somewhat by his tardiness In cofn lectlng crew, funds. Thus far but $60 has bean collected, but Director Hutchlns stated yesterday that thfe crews were certain to go east again thja year. The regents have made an appropriation for a new unlver- ally Doat nouse. ine oia one im uucu an eye-sore' for " a fiumbcr of jyara and Is entirely Inadequate. 1 Tom Barry for Coach. It Is probable that Wisconsin's sched ule, together with the appointment of a football coach will be mado next week. President Van Iliso has not made tho appointment as yet, having directed Coach Hutchlns to make a thorough investiga tion Into tho merits of the applicants. There Is little doubt, however, but that tha man appointed will be Tom Barry, tho former Brown university star and all Amerlcan quarterback. Should Barry re ceive the appointment he will also tako hold of the base ball men. The sale of cotipoivs has gone on rapidly this week and there Is no doubt but that they Will all be disposed of -by Monday, so that Coach Hutchlns can go ahead making out a schedule for next Bcason. The track work has not begun In earn est yet, nor will it be until after the ex amtnatlons.V which 'come the latter part of tho month. Walter Wellman, cousin of the famous correspondent and explorer, and one of the best high achool hurdlers In . the state. Is now training and show ing excellent form. , While Wellman Is freshman thla year and will be unable to compete he. Is expected to develop Into one of the best hurdlers the varsity has ever had. riLEs CURED Ilf "TO 1 DAYS.
