SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 6 After panning the entire forenoon In the cities of Oak land and Berkeley, across the bay, Presi dent Taft was welcomed to San Francisco this afternoon by a tin una which lined the walk In some places ten deep along a line of march extending over neatly three mllee of the principal streets. The school chil dren of this city, Oakland and Berkeley gave their Joyous cheers for the president, and, as In most of the other cities Mr. Taft has visited on this trip, were one of the prominent features of his reception. Visiting three cities and passing three quarters of an hour on Pan Francisco bay, the president had a busy day. As he was crossing from Oakland mole to Ban Fran cisco t army transport Thomas was set ting rail for the Philippines, and by the . president's request the revenue cutter , Golden Oate, on which he was a passenger, was drawn up alongside the big vessel, the sides of which were lined with soldiers and the families of officers.

On tho bridge of the transport the Philip pine constabulary band, which played at the president's Inauguration In Washing ton, was with him recently at Seattle and was present this morning In the Greek theater at Berkeley when be made an ad dress In that classic amphitheater, was drawn up and was playing "Hall to the Chief" as the president shouted across the water to the khakt-clad soldiers: "Uood bye, boys; I wish you( a pleasant voyage." Answering cheers came back to the pres ident. The propeller of . the transport be gan to churn the waters into a foam, a tippling wave spread from the bow as the vessel. Ray with flags, gained headway and the president looked wistfully toward the Golden Gate. "Does It make you feel homesick, Mr. 'resident r' asked a member of the presi dent's party. ''Indeed It docs," replied Mr. Taft,' "And I would give anything If I wera 'going , with theni.'' .;:w' . . tioud Words for Philippines. The president never loaes. an opportun ity vthllo on the roaat to speak a good word fur the Philippines and he always Is pure, of a respective appreciation. Re ferring to his own experiences at Manila, in one of his addresses today he said: "You never can tell what the future is going to be. It seemed a long way around to the white house to go out 10, wxt talks Into the tropics, but that la where It landed me." The president reached the shores of San Francisco bay early today with a typical fog hanging over the cities that front the haibor. Before 11 o'olock, however, the sun had burned its way through the gray mist clouds and when the president reached fan Frandsuo at 1 o'clock the day was one of blue skied splendor. Address at Berkeley. Berkeley had the honor of being the first city overlooking the. bay to welcome the president. He was driven In an automobile to the Greek theater of the University of California, where he was greeted by Prof. He rWd Moses, who had served with Mr. Taft in the Philippines. The president mad a brief address, in which he declared that Ideals In popular government were a ailendid thing to cultivate, but that the man at the helm must be content with a compromise, must accept his responslbll tles and "play the game," whether he suc ceeded In bringing the people to follow him or had to follow the people. From Berkeley the president went to Oakland and made an address to an aut door throng of several thousands. In both Berkeley and Oakland he received a nearly greeting from crowds lining the sidewalks of the long line of march. Clossiiig tlx' buy In the Revenue Cutter Coldeii Oatu and eating luncheon during the l lip. the president on his arrival In Kan 'i auciseo was taken for a three-mile taiiluga tide through Market, Montgomery and Kearney streets and Van Ness and Golden Gate avenues. He reveiwed on Van Ness avenue nearly all of the public parochial school children of the city. Next the president laid the cornerstone of the nrw Young Men's Christian association building and expressed again the Interest lie always fcls in Young Men's Christian association work. Mr. Taft has what he delights to refer to as his "Young Men's Chilstian association speech." He has laid coineiatones for this class of buildings in Shanghai. Hong Kong, all through the United States and In many other parts of theworld. Being a Mason, Mr. Taft always works haid when he has the task of laying a cornerstone, and today's ceremony was no exception to the rule. With a silver trowel he spread mortar for fully five minutes by tut the big block of granite was ready to be louertd into its place. Hrreiillos aud Baaqart.

Montana Mike Tells How He Got His from Mabray Twenty-three miles from Wisdom., Mont., and lost SlO.OuO on a horse race Is the con densed story of Charles Btlles' experience with Colonel J. C. Mabray"s "Concate nated Order of the Mystic Mikes." The horse race was held at Council Bluffs and Novice Stiles came from his ranch, twenty-six miles from Wisdom, to blow In hla Slo.ouO ducats. He told thai story to the federal grand Jury Monday. It was the same old story, with Just a few variations that the other novices have told, of how they were roped Into a sure thing and were relieved of their wealth by the "acciden tal" collapse of the sure winner through falling off his horse and threatened to blued to death and how the rest of the crowd had to flee to escape becoming par ticeps crimlnis. "I am glad I didn't live right In Wis dom," remarked Colonel fHiles, "for in that event I might have lost $30,000, as the story put up by the millionaire club Question of Intent Practically Only One Before the Jury. NO IMPROPER INFLUENCE USED Allegation that Juror Was Tampered with Not Proven. HISTORY OF FAMOUS CASE Danker, Publisher and Railroad Owner Convicted of Improper I'se of Deposits In Hla Various Knterprlses. CHICAGO. 111.. Oct. 6-John R. Walsh, convicted of misapplication of the funds of the Chicago National bank, must serve the sentence of five years' Imprisonment Imposed upon him by the trial Jury, save In the event the supreme court upsets the affirmation of the verdict of .guilty handed down by the United States cir cuit court of .appeals here today. Counsel for Mr. Walsh In their appeal laid stress on what they alleged was a lack of criminal Intent on the part of the defendant. In the very lengthy brlf which they .filed much law was quoted to show that the convicted banker, news paper publisher and railroad owner, used the funds of, the bank in .what he con sidered a legitimate manner. The opinion of the court of appeals, written by Judge Humphrey and handed down by Judge Grosscup, Is brief and confined almost wholly to the question of criminal intent. The allegation that Juror Palmer was unduly Influenced is dismissed with a word and but little more Is wasted In eliminating the allegation'of Inconsistency and repugnancy, "80 long as there is no inconsistency In the verdict as to the substance of the matter charged in the various counts." says the opinion, "the verdict will not be disturbed. If the gravamen of the charge In each count on which there has been a verdict of guilty Is the same, there is a consistency in the verdict" No Improper Influence. A to Juror Palmer, the ODlnion reads: "The record does not show that any Improper Influence worked upon the Jury. The return made to the court wss in fact the verdict of twelve Jurors. The attempt by one of them afterwards to Impeach his verdict can have no consideration. This doctrine la well established and Is based upon reason as well as upon authority." In the instructions given the Jury by Judge Anderson in the trial court the higher tribunal finds no error. As to. the "gets of criminal intent the opinion reads: "Under section 5209 . .there could be misapplication of bank funds by an officer which would be Innocent and not criminal and there could be misapplication which under the statutes would be . criminal. What would show the difference between misapplications which were criminal and those which were not, what would show Innocence or guilt, good faith or bad faith, the court sought by instruction carefully to define and we think did fairly define." Counsel for Mr. Walsh have forty days In which to file an application for a re hearing by the court of appeals. Meanwhile he will be at liberty under his present bonds of $50,000. The court room was Jammed with a crowd which overflowed into the corridor during the proceedings. Tho eleventh hour attempt of the defense to file additional citations designed to show lack of criminal intent came to naught The matter was taken under consideration by those con cerned before court opened and a decision reached that the new arguments would In no wise alter the opinion as already writ ten. Walsh Great Promoter. The three Walsh banks the Chicago Na tional, the Equitable Trust company, the Home Savings bank were closed by the comptroller of the currency on Dec. 18. 11)05, nearly five years ago. At that time Walsh not only owned these Institutions and the Chicago Chronicle, but owned all, or nearly all of the stock of the following companies: The Acme Gas company, the Bedford Belt Railway company: Bedford Quarries company, the Chicago Southern Railway company, the Chicago Wharflng and Stor age company, the Indiana Southern Coal company, the Illinois Southern Railway company, the Lake Michigan Car Ferry Transportation company, the Mt. Olive and Stanton Coal company, the Ohio Quarries company (of Ohio), the Ohio Quarries com pany (of Illinois), the Southern Indiana Coal company, the Southern Indiana Rail way company, the Southern Missouri Rail way company, and the Wisconsin and Michigan Railway company. According to the brief of the government on the appeal all of these companies were bankrupt, or on the verge of It, when bought by Walsh for little or nothing. Their securities were unmarketable and practically worthless. Then, It Is alleged, Walsh formed corporations to buy these companies from himself, taking In payment stock of the new corporations and bonds (Continued on Second Page) was so good there Is no limit to the amount my friends and I might have put up." Some of the witnesses are putting up some odd claims before the grand Jury, even expecting the government will make good the amounts they lost through the Maybray deals. There is a monotonous sameness to the stories, stories of duplicity and anticipation and a disinclination to confess to their own participation In the games in which they expected to make a big rake-off. and got badly raked instead. The last of the Mabray witnesses will be examined today, but the grand Jury will not submit its report until is com pletes Its entire work, which will extend over Into the latter part of next week. A further Investigation is to be made into the Overland Limited mail robbery case, and the thirty witnesses already under summons will begin their testimony Wed nesday nioriuuc. CV. 1 7' sr. f IT!

PLANS OF THE ADMINISTRATION Bill Will Probably Be Drawn by Monetary Commission Along; Lines of President Taft'a Boston Speech. WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.-The coming con gress must meet a situation born of the panic of 1907, when the issue of clearing house certificates by the ' government to supply sufficient currency to meet the de mands of the business urteresta of the wmritry was necessary-" i;h temporary leg islation enacted during", that critical period must be either supplanted" or re-enacted Into permanent law.' and foremost among the various projects that have been ad vanced as a proper solution of the govern ment's problem stands the proposed na tional central bunk. It Is the comman belief that it will form the basis of the curative legislation to be recommended by the monetary commission and President Taft in his recent Boston speech signified his own favorable disposi tion toward the project. "A bank of the people and for the people" Is the definition of this Institution made by George M. Reynolds, president of the American Bankers' association, in his Chi cago speech. He pointed out that the peo ple were to be the stockholders, for anyone would be privileged to buy the bank stock Just as he might a government bond. A small Interest on such an Investment would be guaranteed by the government. Any other earnings more than sufficient to pay the guaranteed Interest would be shared by the government and by the stockholders. To Avoid Political Control,. Political control of the great bank would be made at least extremely difficult by the life appointment of the officers. In tegrity of operation would be assured by a board of supervisors appointed by the president, the secretary of the treasury and the comptroller of the currency (subject to the approval of the senate) for alternate terms of at least eight years to bridge over political mutations. Thus would be met the objections founded upon the history of the old United States bank, that the Central bank might be prostituted to political use and be made an engine ofr the perpetuation In power of one party. It is not intended that the Central bank should support the credit of the nation. If the national government needs funds, If It spends more money than it collects by taxation, it must continue in the old way to borrow from the world-at-large by the sale of bonds. Bank to Issue Notes. The single purpose of this projected bank, would be to safeguard the business Inter est of the people In their private relations. If there were need for more money for business purposes, the bank would supply It by notes and If there were a plethora. In dull times these notes would be retired rapidly. Governmental assistance to the Institution would be limited to the deposit with the Central bank of all government funds now in the National banks. The existing banks, It is hoped, would find (Continued on Second Page.) Now is the time to pick up a bar gain in a used auto mobile.

GUESTS DEBATE THE BURNING SUBJECT Three-Cent Fare With Four Cents as the Maximum Agreement Reached at Cleveland Which Taket Street Car Contro versy Out of Politics. CLEVELAND. O.. Oct. B.-A conference was held today to arrange final details which will result In an absolute settlement of the local street railway situation which has been bitterly agitated for eight years. During the life of .the controversy It has been a political Issue at all times. Partial settlements have been made and many pro posed, but all failed of their object. Now peace is asbured. Tha basis of the strike has been Mayor Tom L. Johnsons contention for a 8-cent fare. The proposed settlement will be on this rate of fare and will eliminate the street car question from the fall campaign. It is agreed the city shall give the Cleve land Railway company, the owner of the local lines, a twenty-five-year franchise, revokable at any time any of the details of the contract with the city Is void. The city reserves the right to buy the lines at any time municipal ownership Is made lawful. The city also reserves the right to name a purchaser of the lines after eight years. The Initial rate of fare Is to be 3 cents on all lines, with a 1-cent extra charge for a transfer. Both the city and the railway company have agreed to let Judge Robert W. Tayler of the ITnlted States court de termine the value of the railway property and the maximum rate of fare It is agreed that at no time shall the rate of fare be greater than will allow the com pany an earning of more than 6 per cent on the value If the property, clnslstent with good service. Judge Tayler has Indicated that he will make the maximum rate 4 cents for a cash fare and the regular ticket rate seven tickets for 25 cents, and a cent extra for transfers. This proposition has been accepted both by the city and the railway company. M I N ISTER' WIFE " GETS BAIL FOR HIM Rev. W. M. Stacker Released on Bond Secured Through Efforts of Woman. OTTAWA.

Move for Extra Session to Get Arbitration Board To secure an extra session of the legis lature fur the enactment of a law providing fur the creation of a state board of arbi tration is the latest move contemplated by frlrnds or sympathisers of the striking street carmen. The proposition will be submitted to soma of the strike leaders during the day and It is contemplated to have petitions circulated among the people of Omaha within a short time. Those who contemplate this move have figured that it will cost about 130,000 or IJO.OOO to hold a special session of the leg islature, and if the governor should hesi tate on that account it Is contemplated to lake up a collection to reimburse the state. STRIKE VEIN OF SOLID GOLD Omaha Men Owners of Richest Bonanza Mine in History. NEW WONDER IN NEVADA Or Running- g ISO, OOO to the Ton and One Streak Said to Be Two Inches Wide of Solid Gold. Omaha men are the chief owners of what Is proving to be the richest mining strike In history. A streak of solid gold two Inches wide Is one of the reports that come from the property, which Is located In a new district. Just south of Battle Moun tain. Nov., on the line of the Southern Pacific. The stock In the Omaha-TJevada Mining company i now almost all In the hands of the original owners, prominent among whom are E. A. Cudahy, A. L. Mohler, E. S. Weatherley and other Omaha men. The most recent transactions In the stock have been where the company has bought back some It had sold for more than double the original selling price. The first sensational reports came through from Nevada some two weeks ago, when It was told about quietly that ore running SISO.OoO to the ton had been found on tho company's property. This report was followed by another, which said that the rich streak, which had at first been three inches, has widened to eleven Inches, and was still spreading out. And then came the story of a streak of solid gold two, inches wide in the vein. One of the principal owners of the Bonanza said he didn't put much faith In the two-Inch streak, but he did know that the ore now being taken from the property was of wonderful richness. Much of It Is so rich that It Is being taken direct to the banks at Battle Mountain, to be deposited in the vaults for safe keeDlnsr.

The glory of streaming lights end showers of stars, scintillating In ever changing hues, ascending far aloft Into the vault of the night sky, heralded the near approach of the day of the coming of the king. Thousands of the subjects of the kingdom came forth to view the display of pyrotechnics from the merry King's Highway. fizzing rockets with their trailing wake of gleaming sparks sailed over the cheer ing thousands to explode in one final blossoming of showering stars, hundreds of feet above. Set plecee cast the glow of many colored lights Into the faces of the carnival crowd and illuminated in weird tints their Joyous features. As each piece faded away In Its extitlc and Short lived beauty, another followed With other sur prises. Cascades of dazzling lights represented In lines of fire, the sweeping water of the falls. Delineated In biasing lights, two engines crashed together and fell a tangled wreck. This piece ended the fireworks dis play of Ak-Sar-Ben., The big Jostling crowds approved much. One gay picture hat fell a victim to the falling sparks, but the plucky woman who wore the Ill-fated millinery tossed It off and dashed out the blaze. She laughed and replaced the damaged hat.

Tho windows and the roofs of the buildings about were filled. It is estimated that at least 40.000 persons viewed tha display and on the carnival grounds It waa declared the biggest nlKht of the season's festivities. The King's Highway was but a sea of humanity, gay and frivolous. One couldn't walk. It was Just barely possible to move In the eddies of the crowd. Where oppos ing currents met there was a crush. But then eerybody was Joyous and no one minded. And a little confetti down one's neck and In the hair didn't count, either.
