southern California today and received an
enth sldstlc greeting. He viol ted flmt the
deep-water and Inner harbors of San PedrV,
below the city, and had a Bail of an hour
and a half Inside the big government break
water.' Much Jo the chafrin of the governrfvnt
engineer In charge of the Inner harbor
work, the president's launch struck a mud
bunk In the completed section and stuck
fast for a minute or two. During this time
Mr. Taft and others had to change their
positions from the stsrn to the bow of the
launch. The delay was only momentary
and when the president's boat headed for
theV'utr water a flotii oi accompanying
crattMell Into ita wake.
President Well Informed.
Mr. Taft surprised tbe committee that
had set out to explain the harbor works
for him, by his Intimate knowledge of the
plans of the Los Angeles people to make
their harbor one of the finest In the world,
The president passed In review of the
school children and made an address to
them In which ha sought to Inculcate a
lestoa of 'patriotism by catechising them
as to the meaning of the flag and their
idea of the liberty which It represented.
This evening Mr. Taft was the guest
at a banquet at the Shrlner auditorium,
which, In point of numbers and lavlshness
of decorations proved to be one of the
distinctive features of his trip. -
The prebldent's visit to Los Angeles pri
marily was arranged that he might spend
a day or two with his sister, Mrs. W. A.
Edwards. Mr. Taft rested at his sister's
home for a time during the late afternoon
and spent the night there.
Lone Trip Half Over. .
Tomorrow the president will be taken
for an automobile ride to Pasadena and
through- the orange districts of Riverside.
He will bo entertained at luncheon at Pasa
dena and '-a. -.dinner, .ai -Riverside. Late
tomonow lilghTTie'-wlll start for the east
on .the Jatter half, ot Ills long trip and,
both In point of time and mileage, his trip
will be half completed.
The president reached Los Angeles at .7:45
a. 111. and ' hla trulu was - Immediately
switched to track leading to the harbor of
ban Pedro. Arriving there at o'clock, the
president was taken aboard a launch for a
trip around the water-front. He was
escorted first Into the Inner harbor to be
given a glimpse ot the gigantic task ot
dredging out a basin that will permit the
duoklng of vessels within twelve miles of
the city proper. Only the president's launch
was allowed In this harbor.
Officially welcomed to Los Angeles, he
declared that his first acquaintance with
the city dated to 1SS1, which, he said, amid
cheers." entitled him to take precedence
over many ot the enthusiastic residents In
the welcoming committee.
Before leaving Can Pedro. Mr. Taft was
shown the site of the fortifications that
are to be constructed on a high hill of Point
Flrmtn ti) protect the Los Angeles harbor,
lie spent fully fifteen minutes on the
heights listening to a detailed explanation
w tbe plan.
"At Riant" rioaeer.
It was In the tropical park, near the Ar
cade railroad station, that the president,
alighting from his private car, was offi
cially welcomed to the city by Mayor
Alexander and a large committee of clti
sens. It was In this park also that he
was made "at sight" an honorary member
of the Pioneers' association. When these
brief ceremonies had ended, Mr. Taft en
ured an automobile, a mass of yellow
ihrysanihemums, and at the head of
twenty-rive other cars, his party and the
sommtttee of welcome were driven
through the downtown and residence sec
tions of the city. '
At the banquet In hla honor tonight, the
president dined beneath a Spanish pergola
laden with flowers and fruit. The entire
auditorium had been transformed Into a
bower of roses, chrysanthemums and other
blossoms of the season. Electric bulbs
glowing In the celling and twinkling about
pillars In the' decorative scheme, added
their touch of color to the scene. Eight
hundred banqueters rose to greet the presi
dent as he entered.
ttlft Mexicans, arrested In this city last
night for public utterances in denunciation
of Presidents Taft and Dlas, were held by
the authorities today and may be kept In
custody until after Mr. Tail s visit to El
Paso and Juares, Mexico, next Saturday.
The president's train stopped two or
three minutes each at Wilmington and
Cbmpton on the wy from Kan Pedro to
Los Angeles and Mr. Taft spoke a few
ords to the throngs at the stations.
Talk to Joveallee.
At Wilmington he paid most ot his at
tentions to the children.
"I am glad." he said, 'to see the school
.hllrtren with their Tags. Do ou know,
children, what those flags are?"
"American flags," cried several boys and
girls.
"Are you sure?"
'Yes, sir."
"Do you know what they represent?"
No one answered.
"They represent your country," continued
the president, "and they represent every-
body .that stands for your country. Now I
hould like to etop and talk with you about
the history of the flag. Do you go through
flag exercises at school?"
"We have salutes to the flag," piped a
.childish voice.

NEW YORK, Oct. lt-The United States
circuit court of appeals today affirmed the
decision of the lower federal court sentenc
ing Charles W. Morse, the former banker
anj steamship capitalist, to fifteen years'
imprisonment In the federal prison at At
lanta, Ua.
At the office of Mr. Morse's counsel to
day It .was stated that, the case would be
taken to the United .Slates supreme court
and an application for ball would be made.
Meantime Mr. Morse would be sent to the
1 Tombs prison or might be sent to Atlanta
to begin his sentence unless the circuit
court of appeals In New York granted a
slay In the execution of his sentence.
Mr. Morse appeared at the office of the
United States marshal soon after the de-
:!s!on was handed down and surrendered
himself. He remained In the marshal's
office while his counsel, Martin W. Little
ton, asked the circuit court of appeals for
a stay in the execution of the sentence
pending further proceedings.
Mr. Morse was convicted of violating the
national banking law in misapplying the
funds of the National Bank of North Amer
ica, of which he was president at the time
of the financial panic of l'J07. He was sen
tenced on November 8, 1908, after a long
trial.
The United States circuit court of appeals
In Its decision rendered today sa,ld:
"We fully realise the consequences to the
defendant which must follow an affirmance
of this Judgment, and yet we cannot doubt
that he was given a fair trial and the ver
dict on the fourteen counts was amply sus
tained by the proof.
"No unprejudiced persons can read the
record without being convinced that by
the defendant's procurement, the bank
(National Bank of North America) bought
Its own stock and tho stock of the Ice
Securities company, and by hla procure
ment the entrlea on the bank's books and
In the reporta of the comptroller as to
these transactions were so arranged as to
conceal the' truth and to record transac
tions which in reality never took place."
After his original sentence Morse ob
tained a writ of error, which brought his
case before the circuit court of appeals.
This court reserved decision and Morse
was admitted to 1135,000 ball. On June 1?
he was released from the Tombs, where
he had been confined since October, 1908.
Immediately he plunged Into business and
during the four following months he la re
ported to have paid off $3,000,000 of his
17,000,000 Indebtedness and to have regained
control of a large part of his extensive
steamship Interests.
. Morse was taken to the Tomba prison In
custody of United States Marshal Henkel
this afternoon. His son, Harry, accom
panied him In the walk from the federal
building to tlte prison. A large crowd fol
lowed them up the' street.

Making; Complete Aerial
CI re la.
COLLEGE PARK, Md., Oct. U. In an
early morning experimental flight today,
Wilbur Wright established a new record
for making a circle, making a complete
turn in seventeen and three-fifths seconds.
It was estimated that this was at an aver
age speed of thirty-five miles an hour. The
diameter of the circle waa approximately
2j0 feet.
Although the Wrights have made sharper
turns, the circle made by Wilbur this
morning probably was the smallest that
ever has been made In the air by a flying
machine. Mr. Wright estimated that the
beat previous time for making a complete
circle was one minute. Despite his con
tention that hie machine was "not a wet
weather bird," Mr. Wright made his flight
today In a drlxxling rain.

ing extensive devastation through the whole
western portion of the Island.
In the city of Havana many minor build
ings were blown down or unroofed, almost
all the trees were uprooted and five per
sons were killed, one by an electric wire
and the others by falling buildings. About
twenty-five persons were Injured.
The greatest damage done was In the
harbor, where forty or fifty lighters,
launches and small tugs were either sunk
or blown ashore. At Casablanca great anx
iety was felt .throughout the day for the
safety of the Ward Liner, Morro Castle
from New York, and - the Plant Line
steamer, Miami, from Key West. Both of
these steamers, however, arrived safely at
5:30 o'clock this afternoon, . having kept
off-shore for hours awaiting an abatement
of the storm.
The total damage In Havana and vicin
ity Is estimated at $1,000,000. The greatest
Individual loss has been caused by the
destruction of half the coal elevator con
veyors of the Havana Coal company at
Casablanca, estimated at $200,000. It will

eight miles frntn Havana, the new tuber
culosis hospital was blown down, and
many patients were Injured. During the
height of the storm a small Spanish brig

MAY SETTLE QUESTION TODAY
President Taft Thought to Have Been
Drawn Iato Affair aa Final
Sledlator Silence Per
vades Situation. '
WASHINGTON, Oct. 11. Tomorrow will
probably see the determination of the ques
tion whether Charlea R. Crane will be re
quested to resign his recently acquired
office of minister of the United States
to . China or will be permitted to resume
In that capacity his . Journey to Peking,
whither he was almost In the act of sail
ing from San Franctsop when peremptorily
summoned by- Secret " r of Htate Knox to
return forthwith to . Washington -and ex
plain His alleged responsibility for his dis
closure In a newspaper dispatch ot sup
posedly eonfidentlal Information about the
attitude of the United States toward the
new treaties between China and Japan.
Sepulchral silence pervaded the situation
all day. Secretary Knox was practically
Inaccessible and other State department
officials disclaimed any knowledge of the
state of affairs. Mr. Crane himself was
virtually dumb. Notwithstanding the gen
eral expectation that he would have a
decisive conference at noon with the secre
tary, he did not cnll at the department,
roi so far as can be learned did he have
any conference with Mr. Knoa at his home.
President Taft's Connection.
It came at lant to be belinved that the
whole business has been referred by Secre
tary Knnx to President Taft. who was a'
Los Angeles today. It waa supposed that
telegrams had been sent to the president
last night after the extended conference at
Secretary Knox's house whloh followed al
most Immediately upon Mr. Crane's ar
rival here from San Francisco. It Is as
sumed nlso that Mr. Knox Informed the
president of all the material facts In Mr.
Crane's case, together with his own views
upon the subject.
All the Indications tonight point In thlo
direction and the matter Is expected to
remain In statu quo pending receipt of ad
vices from the president, who. It must be
remembered, la in the last analysis the
official superior of both the secretary of
state and the minister to China.
The interview at Mr. Knox's house last
night In which participated Mr. Knox, Mr.
Crane and William M. Hoyt. special cqun
nel of the department. Is believed to have
resulted In a clear understanding with re
spect to Mr. Crane's connection with the
publication the disclosures of which the
State department officials so strongly de
precated. There remains the question whether Mr.
Crane's diplomatic discretion has suffered
so great an Injury In the estimation of the
officials under whom his delicate mission
at Peking would be performed as to de
stroy his usefulness there.
Interreta Well Guarded.
Whatever may be the outcome In Mr.
Crane's case, It Is felt at the department
that the Interests of this government In
China are for the Interim In excellent
hands, Mr. Fletcher, the charge now In
command there, having on several occa
sions demonstrated his capacity for good
work.
Students of the situation pointed out to
day that there could arise no conflict with

Winter made a valiant and fairly suc

Flurries of snow were to be seen in the air
and the mercury began a toboggan slide
which at 9 p. m. had reached the 31 degree
mark.
The morning of Monday waa cold and
raw, but late In the afternoon the sun came
out. making It look warmer at any rate.
But the cold Increased as the shadows
lengthened.
Weather gossips seemed unanimous In
thinking that the 'cold waa but temporary
and predicted wo weeka at least more of
the fine weather of Ak-Sar-Ben Week. The
prediction was based on nothing more con
crete than desire and memory of occasional
comparatively warm weather at this time
of year.
It Is, nevertheless, a little too early to
organise skating parties and the old light
overcoat will look respectable for some time
to come. The change In temperature helped
lo create a striking difference on the streets
In the evening from the crowds of Ak-Sar-Ben,
and while many people were down
town at theaters or for other purposes, they
did not stand still.
The clothing dealers set up a shout ot
ecstatic glee and the coal men raised the
price In their minds every few minutes.

until then.

some time.
Clerk of District Court Robert Smith had
to send home the girl clerks In his office

tlona of the West.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 11. (Special Tele
gram.) Fred H. Abbott, assistant commis
sioner of Indian affairs, has returned to
Washington after an absence of some thirty
days, during which time he visited offi
cially the Winnebago and Omaha reserva
tions In Nebraska. The main Idea of the
Indian bureau !i to devise some plan
whereby tho. Omahas , and Wlnnebagoes
shall have Instilled Into them an Independ
ence which will ultimately make them self.
supporting and capable of farming and
tnanaglng their own allotments. Many of
the Indians now upon these reservations,
Mr. Abbott finds, are thoroughly competent
to manage their own affairs In every par
ticular and under all conditions and he will
urge this view upon the secretary of the
Interior and upon the commissioner when
they make their annual report to congress.
It appears that while the people In Thurs
ton county are being taxed most heavily to
bear the burdens of county government.
the Indians In this county, as yet not own
ing their property In fee, pay no taxes on
realty, being etlU the wards of the nation.
The Indian bureau la now engaged through
Ita agents In endeavoring to devise some
means for relief from oppressive taxation
which the white cltisens of Thurston county
now carry.
'The Indian bureau," said Assistant Com
missioner Abbott, "Is now seeking some
means whereby the great burden of debt
annually paid by the white settlers in
Thurston county may be relieved. We have
several projects in contemplation, all with
a view of aiding the Indian to work his
own land, become an Independent American
cltlien and aid, through his Individual ef
forts, to bear his burden of taxation for the
maintenance of county roads, schools and
other necessary county Improvements. The
white cltisens of Thurston county In every
Instance showed great Interest In our pro
posed work and expressed a desire to co
operate with the department, in every par
ticular. Heeommendatloais of the Bureau.
"There are two recommendations which
the commissioner of Indian affairs has
practically decided to ask the sanction
of congress In regard to the Wlnnebagoes
and Omahas and those are that all sec
tional lines between the reservations and
state lines be opened to the building of
good roads. A further recommendation
will be made to congress that the bulk of
the trust fund now held by the general
government for the Wlnnebagoes and
Omahas In Nebraska be, released tor them
pro rata In order to enable them to pay
their debts without further mortgaging
their )ands. In other words, give them
their money to straighten out their press
ing obligations and make needed Improve
ments on their lands, the leases on which
will soon expire, and give them means
whereby to start In life and farm their
own lands and reap the benefit of their
individual labors.
"To further stimulate 'the Omahas and
Wlnnebagoes to turn their efforts to agri
cultural pursuits and not lease their hold
ings. It Is proposed by the Indian bureau
to secure tho co-operation and aid of the
Agricultural department to permit the
selection of a few Indians of the Omaha
and Winnebago tribes to attend a session
of the Agricultural college at Lincoln In
order that they may receive Instruction
fitting them for practical and competent
management of their now leased farms.

Weather conditions were rrlghtful. Rain

diately by scoring five runs In the first
Inning. They batted Summers out of the
box, aided by some pour fielding. Another
run In the second, gave Pittsburg a lead
of 6 to 0 and the game then appeared to
be safe for the visitors. Detroit, however,
came to the fore with one of the gamest
rallies ever made and scored tour runs In
the seventh inning, batting Maddox hard
and playing like fiends. With the score,
to 4. Pittsburg connected with some of
Work's curves In the ninth for two runs.
With the score, So 4, against It the De
troit team did no't realise It waa beaten :
and smashed out . two more runs In the
last tnnlng. Had 6am Crawford been able
to hit up to his usual mark this afternoon,
there would have been a different atory to
tell.
Detroit outbatted Pittsburg by a margin
of one hit. getting twelve to the winners'
eleven. Summers atarted for the locals,
but was removed before the end of the
first Inning. Wlllett succeeded him and did
well until he was taken out to allow iic
Intyre to bat for him In the seventh. Mc
Intyre struck out. Works, who then went
In, was lucky In the eighth, after Absteln
had made a two-base hit, with but one out.
The next two were easy outs. In the ninth
Ptttshurg land'd on him for three hits and
that clinched the game for them.
Loses Chance to Tie Game.
Had Jennings sent In a more experienced
pitcher In such a situation he might have
secured a tie. 'Maddox was on the rubber
for Pittsburg and was hit hard in the
closing Innings, although Detroit could do
nothing with him hi the early sessions.
When the American leaguers did start after
him they landed hard and often, but Mana
ger Clark left Maddox In because of the
lead his team harl.
The mlphty Hans Wagner was the etar
of the bip. but be was forced to share
some of the stellar honors with Owen Bush
and Delehanty of the locals. Wagner made
four hits and stole four bases, although
Catcher Schmidt was not to blame for at
least one of tho thefts.
Beside his hitting and base running,
Wagner played an admirable game In the
field. In the first Inning Wagner beat out
a hit to Bitsh, stole second and went to
third on Schmidt's bad throw to second.
He then scored on a wild pitch. In the
second he reached first on a fleldur's choice
and on a double steal went to third while
Leach waa steallmj home.
In the fifth he singled Just out of Tom
Jores" reach and stolo second. Wagner
singled to left In the seventh, but was
caught trying to steal second, Schmidt to
Bush. In the ninth h again singled and
stole second while Leach was on third
waiting to hcore. Schmidt dl not throw
to catch Wagner this time, however, until
he had ascertained that Leach would nc4
try to score.
Detroit's Stellar Players.
Bush and Delehanty were the bright spots
in the Detroit team In batting, while Cobb
and Crawford made great catches during
the course of the game. Bush made four
hits In five times at bat and two of them
played important parts in the scoring.
Delehanty was thero with two two-baggers
and a single in five times at the bat. Ills
third hit. a doubly, In the seventb, slant d
the rally that caused many apprehensive
chills ainpng the Pittsburg players.
Although Crawford starred In the field
his woik at the bat was feeble and he
missed two excellent chances to swing the
tide of victory toward his team. He ended
the rally In the seventh inning by a pop
fly to Absteln with two men on bases. In
the ninth he again had a chance with
Cobb on second, but his best was a feeble
bounder to Wagner.
Cobb made a two-bagger and a single
that were Important factors In the Detroit
rally. He singled In the seventh, scored
one man and on his double In the ninth
sent In two more.
The ground rules brought out a long
conference between Umpires O'loughlin
and Johnstono and the members of the
national commission. Then an Innovation
was made by sending Umpire Klem, who
was tcheduled to work today, out along
the right field foul line to watch the hits
Into the crowd and to act In advisory ca
pacity to the other two umpires.
