The president was met at the station by anollier large crowd. Mr. Taft was enter tained at dinner, was taken for an auto mobile ride through tha city to be cheered ull along the route, and made an address In the state capltol grounds. The president selected for the princi pal feature of his speech, the conservation renounces In which he declared anew that many of the Roosevelt policies of conser vation 'can be carried Into effect, confirm atory and enabling legislation must be se cured and he pledged himself to use all his power to Induce congress to pass the lawa necessary. Will Discuss Details. 'Having already made a number of aet speeches, covering the various subjects, he expects to Incorporate in his annual mes sage to congress, tha president during the rest of his tour will discuss In more or less detail many of the phases of the larger question, because he believes that after fll. the details count more than a gnrral declaration of policy. While to the average mind the thought of a day and night uninterrupted travel suggeela discomfort and fatigue, the twenty-five hours between Portland and Sacra mento proved to be a period of real rest and enjoyment for the president. The only stops made on the way were at dlvls Ion points stops necessary to the opera tion of the train. There were crowds at each of these placea and the president ap peared on the rear platform of his car to shake hands or to make a few Informal remarks. At Dusmulr. neaf the foot of -Mount " 8hastaj-ne-the most wiagnlfleent enow clad peaks in all the world, the president declared that a night of solid sleep and the bracing air of northern California had entirely "knocked out" the cold he con tracted In Seattle. Trip Thoronathly Enjoyed. Mr. Taft thoroughly enjoyed his stay on the train. He read a little, lounged about the ear, played a friendly game of "bridge" with members of his party, and during the five or six hours Mount Shasta was in sight admired that towering peak in all the changing aspects the winding railroad brought Into view. Shasta was really the first of the snow mountains of the west that the president haa seen on this trip, When- he was In Colorado Plke'a Peak was hidden In 'a cloud bank. During the two days he was' in Seattle the weather was cold and gray and the peak which is known on the Seattle aide aa Mount Ranler and on the Tacoma side as Mount Tacoma was nowhere to be aeon. Many panoramic pictures of Portland, Ore., show snow capped Mount Hood "on guard" In the background, but while the president was in tjwn the atmospheric conditions were not Just right. Mr. Taft laughingly declared In Portland that after several visits both to Seattle and to Portland he was prepared to question the existence of any such mountains as Ranler or H.ood. Will tee Blar Trees, After passing tomorrow In San Francisco President Taft heads for the Yosemlte valley. He never has been among the old giant trees In the valley, which are said to be the oldest living things In the world. Mr. Taft has been warned that the dust going In and coming out of the park at this time of the year Is fairly suffocating, but hla enthusiasm In the trip haa not been In the least diminished Spatial khaki outfits' will be procured by the president and his party for the three days trip. President Taft waa welcomed into Cali fornia at Red Bluff by Governor Gillett. Lieutenant Governor Porter, Senator Per kins, former secretary of the navy; Vlotor Metcalfe. M. H.

Representatives McKlnlay and Knowland also helped to extend California's welcome to the chief executive. Senator Bourne of Oregon also accompanied the president. Speech at Danaaanlr. Speaking from the car-end at Dunsmulr Cel., President Taft saldi "I am on a tour of some 13,000 miles, and 1 am trying to gather Information aa we go with reference to the condition of the country, and at the aame time to give a superficial aspect of the man whom It haa been your good or bad fortune to elect to the office of president I think personal contact with the people and those whom you honor by delegating authority tempor arily Is e. good thing all around, so that you may know when I make mistakes and they are presented to you you with a great deal of emphasia that I am atlll a poor mortal praying for assistance and duping that you will forgive human error. "Everywhere in this country I have found evidence of prosperity, from Boston to Portland, and If aims do not fall we are upon an era of business enterprise and ex paiuUon that has never been seen In this country before.

Liberal Minister Formally Ordained Presbyterian Who Does Not Accept Bible Story of Adam and Eve Enters Church. NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-The ordination of Rev. Archlbold Black, accused of extreme liberalism, was formally approved at the meeting of the New York presbytery today. Last June Mr. Black was assigned to preach In the Bedford Park Presbyterian church here, but his ordination and that of other young theological students waa op posed by a conservative element of the presbytery, which questioned their, ortho doxy because they refused to accept liber ally some portions of the book of Genesis, among them.

SECOND TRIAL POSTPONED Accident to Motor Prevents Another Effort Late In the Afternoon Business Practically Sus pended. iNKW YORK, Oct. 4-An aeroplanes Hashed past the white dome of Grant's tomb today, then turning gracefully In mid air, over the waters of the Hudson, shot like a falcon back to Governor's Island, ten miles away. Wilbur Wright of Dayton. O., thus placed his name In the rank with Hud son and Fulton today In one of the most spectacular feats in the history of aero nauts. Over the masses of warships, from whose decks the hoarse cheers of the sailors were borne up to him In his elevated seat, he flew for twenty miles ten miles up and ten miles back remaining In the air for S3 min utes and 33 seconds, and alighting at the aerodrome without mishap. During the flight business was practi cally at a standstill In all that part of Manhattan from which a view of his re markable feat was available. Harbor craft shrieked their applause, cheer after cheer swept up from the banks of the Hud son and the lower bay for the Dayton av iator had "made good," crowning the avi ation program of the Hudson-Fulton cele bration with a record. Fast Time Made. Wright started on hla flight up the Hud son at 9:W a. m. and finished exactly at 10:29:33. He had intended to Improve upon his achievement of the morning by making a longer and more hazardous flight at sun set, but the crippling of hla motor Just as he was about to start on the evening at tempt dashed his hopes, as well aa those of the thousands who had assembled on Governor's Island and along the water front to cheer him on. The flight waa made under conditions only moderately favorable. When Wright reached Governor's Island shortly, after 8 o'clock the wind was blowing about ten miles an hour, while an overcast sky added to the uncertainty of the weather. In the face of these conditions Wright called for volunteers among the newspaper men as sembled to tow his machine te the etarttng rail, while he superintended the laying of the starting way . in the direction of the wind. Everything ready, his mechanician gave the propeller a twist, which started the motor, and amid the clatter of the ma chine's exhaust, which sounded like mus ketry fire. Wright climbed to his seat In the aeroplane. , With the same Impertrubable temper which has characterised all hia flights, the aviator pulled his cap over his eyes and reached for the starting lever. In a mo ment the machine was off. Start Is Aasplclons. With the planes tilted slightly to one side, the man-bird slowly ascended into the air, arising to a height of barely twenty feet, while It swooped In a semi circle todawrd the water's edge. Here the presence of many craft, all hyster ically tooting their whistles, caused him , to ascend further Into the air before mak ing for the mouth of the river. Almost Indistinguishable against the gray- banked clouds the machine soared past old Castle William and soon entered the canon made by the giant skyscrapers of Manhattan Island and the Jersey hills.. At this point the aeroplane was flying at a height of nearly 200 feet, but unexpected air currents caused by the great build ings caused the aviator to bring hla craft lower to the water. Tilting the elevating rudder, hs slowly brought the machine down, sloping gradually until he waa but a bare hundr.d feet above the too Ing ferry boats and the busy . river traffic. His motor was churning as . regularly as a clock and settling himself In his seat, he sped onward up the river. Passes Over Warships. Over the warships of four great powers he passed, his progress marked by cheers from the sailors of his own country and thoae of Great Britain, Germany, France and Italy. The blue Jackets lined the rails of their ships and gazed In wonderment at the little craft above them, perhaps, think ing vaguely that some day it might ren der their own monster fighting machines obsolete. When the air vessel reached the British cruiser, Argyle, anchored an eighth of a mile above Grant's tomb, Wright brought his direction rudders into play, and de scribing an easy and graceful curve started on hla return Journey down the river. The wind conditions which had bothered him on the Journey up were now more favor able and It waa here that the speed pos sibilities of the machine were demon strated. While the ten miles upstream oc cupied nearly twenty minutes, the return (Continued on Second Page.) Ninth Ward. 1-2579 Cuming. 3 S2j0 Burt (barn, 3 3J04 Davenport rear.) rear.)

Governor Hartley and Mayor Frederick Krelamann todny wel comed the mayors of 361 cities who are to bo the city's guests during centennial week. After a recpptlon at the city hall and a luncheon the guests viewed the races of the spherical balloons. Tonight they at tended a welcome muss meeting In the Col iseum. Civic Improvement was the theme dipcutwed. Band concerts In the Court of Honor were given toiilptht to the Centennial visi tors who preferred to remain on the streets. Tukday's program Includes a water reeant on the MIsslRHlppt river In the mnrnln? In fchlch four torpedo boats will partici pate and the Veiled Prophets parade and ball In the evening. Blar Balloon Ruee Starts, With atmospheric conditions ideal, ten balloons railed from St. Louis late thin afternoon toward the southeast. The pas sage above the city from the grounds of the Aero club waa made at a height of 500 feet. Sixty thousand persons, many centennial week visitors were on the Aero club grounds. The attentions were delayed but little and were as perfect as could be. The big gas bags, heavily weighted with bal lat, floated slowly above the hehds of the spectators who cheered the aero nauts. Two of the balloons, the Peoria and Mis souri, has gas bags of 40,000 cubic fret and were In a special race. The others were 78,000 cubic footers and raced for medals and prises. The smaller gas hags are ex pected to remain In the air 'eighteen hours and the larger forty hours. By morning they ought to be over Kentucky or Ten nessee. The gentle breeze moved the air craft slowly and afforded ample time for the spectatora to bid the occupanta goodbye. The Cleveland was the first to get away In the race of the big balloons. This was followed by St. Louis III, Centennial. Pom mery. New York, University City, Indiana and the Hooster. Because H. II. McCJill, pilot of the Indiana, had not received TTis license, his entry sailed under protest und his eligibility will be settled later. The Hoosler la UUqnallf led. The Hoosler was disqualified, as Dr. P. M. Crume is not a licensed pilot. However, he sailed away for the sport of ballooning. John Berry, pilot of the 1'nlversity City, was the favorite of the spectators. His craft was patched on the ground as the big bag was filled. The ropes of the net ting, which with the bag won the recent Indianapolis race, were knotted and showed use. He followed the New York, the most modern craft In the race, and received the most cheers. All balloons carried as much ballast as possible and expect to make long flights. Under the conditions In which they sailed they will not have let out gas until late tomorrow. The Lahm cup, now held by Captain F. tie Forrest Chandler, Is one of the prises sought by the aeronauts. A flight of more than 475 miles will get it. The Indiana's basket can lt d a hammock. In which McGill rested. He was injured on the grounds and sailed against the ad vice of his physician. It Is thought the Indiana's rip and valve cords are tangled. If this proves so McGill will have a rough landing, aa he cannot control hla craft in the usual way. At the time the ten balloons sailed away, M. A.

Decision in Walsh Case " Comes Today Court of Appeals Will Pass on Fate of Chicago Banker Convicted of Misappropriation of Funds. CHICAGO, Oct. 4. A document contain ing additional citations of recently decided cases bearing upon the question of incon sistency and repugnancy alleged against tho verdict of guilty found against John H. Walsh was filed with the' clerk of ihe United States circuit court of appeals here today. Mr. Walsh, president of the Chicago Na- i tlonal bank, was convicted of misapplica tion of the bank's funds. He appealed and a decision from the appellate bench Is ex pected tomorrow. It is charged among other things by Walsh's counsel that the counts of the indictment agulnst him were contradictory. Whether the new citations will be received by the court,- whose find ings, whilt unknown to the public, have already been printed for distribution, will not be known until tomorrow when court convenes. , John R. Walsh rose from obscurity to the mastery of millions. His bank was one of the city's big financial Institutions. He is alleged, however, to have misapplied SIH.OOO.OUO of the bank's funds, through memorandum notes signed with the nanie of clerks. In an endeavor to keen his vast Interests afloat.

Oct. 4 The announce ment of Ir. Cook's willingness to request the University of Copenhagen to waive its claim to the first examination of the records of his Journey to the North pole caused keen disappointment and whatever may be the reply of the university to the explorer's request, present indications do not foreshadow a graceful acquiescence on the part of the general public. The rector of the unlveisity said tonight: "No such request has yet been received from lr. Cook and It is Impossible to say what attitude the university will take towards the suggestions that American and other scientific bodies shall first view the explorer s data. The action of the uni versity will depend upon the reason !r. Cook gives.' Strong Influences may have been brought to bear upon Vr. Cook In order to cause him to prefer such a re quest. The general public is Inclined to be an noyed at the suggestion that foreign scien tific bodies shall first see the records. The people oonslder the promise to give the university the first opportunity of passing on the records as nothing but Jus tice n view of the honors heaped upon the explorer Ly both the university and the, Danish public and their ungrudging from a sphere to an ellipse. STRIKE OVER, SAYS LEDSSLER Street Railway Company Sends Back Most of Breakers. FULL SERVICE ON ALL LINES This Is ' Iteport Company Official Gives of Way They Are Hnnnlus Cars for the AU-9nr-rien Crowds. "The strikebreakers have gone, or at least nearly all of them have, and they will all be gone by Tuesday night," said R. A. Leussler, secretary and assistant general manager of the Omaha & Council Kluffs Street Railway company. "The strike Is over. This Is shown by several Incidents. Mr. Pratt huh left town and the cars are running with full service. You can see that we even have the sprinkling cars out, so we must have some extra men." A notice was posted In the car barns Mon day mornlng( notifying the strikebreakers to be ready to fill I p Monday night. A few held over, however, until some of the new men were a little better broken In. The officials of the company state that they have nearly a full quota of men, al most as many being regularly employed at before the strike. When tho strike was called there were nearly 000 motoimen and conductors. Of these HiO did not strike, but remained with the company. One hundred and sixty men have returned since the strike, making 320 old men now on the cars, say the officials. Nearly 200 new men have been hired, many of whom are experienced car men, although some had to bu broken In by the old men. Service was maintained until after mid night Sunday night and cars rati as late as usual last night. Many extra cars were put In service because of Ak-Sar-Hen and the movement of tho Sixteenth Infantry from Albright to Fort Omaha und of a large number of people who went to Fort Omaha to see the evolutions of the soldiers In camp there. It was thought that a larger number of the old men wouTd return to the company's service as soon as they rect Ived their money from the international fund. "I have made arrangements to meet with the State Railway commission at Lincoln as soon as Ak-Sar-Hen Is over,'' said Mr. Leussler.

After reading the dispatch carefully he said: "A wrong Impression has been received In Denmark as to Just ul.at I said In Washington last night, and tills, too, seems not to have been perfectly understood In this country. In order that there may be no further misunderstanding 1 h. ill be glad to have the Associated Press say as coming from mu that I shall adhere to the original plan to have the University of Copenhagen make the flint examination of my records, but that I shall ask that the university withhold the announcement of such examination until the recoids shall have been examined nmultaneously by all the geographical socltletles of the world.

Monday The visit of Dr. Grouch to the carnival grounds Monday night was a highly Inter esting event. Dr. Grouch, who blew into Omaha when no one was looking, went to the carnival grounds for a purpose. He was Immensely pleased when he struck the gatekeeper at the pass gate, for he Imagined he had made a valuable acquaintance. So the doctor proceeded on his way for several feet and all of a sudden he bumped Into General Hilarity. There occurred fie biggest fight ever puHed off on the oarnlval grounds. The general called to his aid all the confetti throwers within the sound of his voice and they lit into Dr. Grouch with both feet and tooth hands. The doctor fought valiantly for several minutes until finally General Hilarity got the strangle hold and that waa the end of Dr. Grouch. As Dr. Grouch was the only one of the family In tho city the carnival will have no further trouble from that source. As a result of the fight General Hilarity haa un disputed charge of the entire oarnlval grounds, the city and all the country that surrounds the city. As a tribute to General Hilarity, Sam son acting for the king, has ordered that there bo no more night In Omaha during the entire week; that gladness shall be In every man's soul and that such a welcome be accorded tho visiting subjects from out In the state that with one voice Nebraska shall rise up and call the principal city of Qulvera a warm old place. Crowds Pour Info City, Those who were at the station Monday afternoon got an Indication of the great number of people who will be In the city during the week. The regular trains were filled and they all unloaded here. The street cars from the stations were loaded lown and every visitor carried a grip or suit case sufficiently large to contain a week's supply of clothing and the grips may have contained clothing or their own ers may have been possessed' of the Idea Omaha is like some other cities and packed their grips accordingly. Anyhow a big crowd has arrived In town. The crowd did not stand around on the streets and gape and wonder where to go cither. The carnival grounds were soon well sprinkled with the visitors and for thd first lime during an afternoon the shows did a splendid business. . Incidentally the carnival spielers this' year put the old spielers clear to the bad. There are professors, college men and men who never saw the Inside of a college doing the stunt. Thero are foreigners who talk in a atra.ige tongue but they get the crowds, there are musical men wearing dress suits, anl there are others who have to carry Identlflaction cards to keep away from the police, and there are scientists at least one, who Is doing a spieling act Just for the f'jn of It (getting the crowds being merely an Incident With him.) But u.3 a mutter of fact the spieler Is not needed at this carnival. People are flock ing in here from all parts of tbe stun and their pockets are loaded down With silver and bills and bullion and they are trying to get rid of It. As the price of ad mission to the grounds and the charges made by the shows are so small the visit ors are having a hard time getting any one to relieve them of their financial burdens. Special Trains for Carnival. The great influx of visitors convinces railroad men that the Impression la rapidly spreading over the state the street car strike Is Interfering very little with travel on the streets of Omaha and they are making pit put atlons to carry a vast num ber of people. The lailroads are crowding their regular trains to the guard rails and the North western and liutllhtiloii and Illinois Cen tral are running numerous specials, tickets good from October 4 to i.
