NEW ORLEANS, La.. Oct. 30.-Presldent
Taft arrived In New Orleans today to re
new many old acquaintances and to enjoy
two days of the hoxpitallty which he de
clared a "few days ago he both "longed
for and feared." From the moment of his
arrival at 12;. TO p. m. on the light houso
tender Oleander, which led a long trailing
fleet of river packets Into port, the presi
dent was kept on the go until past mld
r.lKht tonight.
Prsldent Taft ended hla river trip with
an address before the waterwaya conven
tion thla afternoon, In which he reiterated
what he has said before, that he favored
S- Issuance of bonds to carry forward
iry deep waterway project which shall
be approved by a competent board of en
gineers aa predlcablc, and can be shown
necessary to take care of the growing
commerce of the sections.
Thla address concluded, the president
became the guest of the city. He lunched
with Archbishop Dlenk at the letter's
palace, attended two foot ball games, had I
a dinner given In his honor at the Pick
wick club tonight and went directly from
there to a gala performance of "Lea Hu
guenots," at the French opera house. A
little supper at a famous French restaur
ant after the opera brought the chief ex
ecutive's busv day to a close.
Tomorrow the president Is to have
another s'renunus time. He will attend
the Unitarian church In the morning, will
have a long automobile tour, broken by
luncheon at Jackson barracks and will at
tend a sacred concert on the Tulane cam
pus In the afternoon. The president re
tires on hoard his train tomorrow night and
leaves early Monday morning to - begin
the last ten days of hla trip.
Cabinet Members Leave.
The president' party lost one distin
guished member today and will lose an
other. Postmaster General Hitchcock left
tonight for Doston. to vote In the elect lona
held there next Tuesday, 8ecretaryNagel
of the Department of Commerce and Labor,
will go from here to Fort Arthur, Galveston
and Houston. While at Houston he will
vlelt hi birthplace, six mile outside of
that city.
Secretary of War Dickinson will remain
In New Orleans to make an address be
fore the waterways convention Monday
morning and will rejoin the president at
Jackson. Miss., late Monday afternoon.
President Taft thoroughly enjoyed his
four and a half nlghta and five days on
the Mississippi river, and although he has
learned much of the difficulty that must
be encountered in attempt to control that
powerful waterway, he seemed today to
be Just as enthusiastic aa ever In the be
half that the Mississippi can be made to
recognise a channel deep enough to handle
all of the commerce that can be assigned
to It.
The torpedo boat flotilla which had been
aent to St. Louis to escort the president
down the river, but which bad been
frightened away ' by falling water and had
been scurrying down stream ahead of the
presidential fleet, finally, was picked up by
LMb Oleander, forty-five miles above the
'city thla morning. The four grim little
vessels slipped along In the wake of the
president's flagship for an hour or more,
but the smoke from their funnels en
clouded the entire fleet behind and finely
they were ordered to ateam ahead at a
full speed to New Orleans to await the
president there.
At Two Foot Ball UauV.
-. Having developed into a, full-fledged base
f ball "fan" during the summer, the presi
dent started his career aa a foot bull
enthusiast this afternoon. Trie committee
In charge of his visit decided . that It
would be too much of a tax on the Vresl
dent to auk him to go to two foot ball
game In one afternoon, but If he was
to go to aee Sewanee play the Louisiana
State university, tr adherent of Tulane
and Niwlsalppl Agr cultural and Mechan
ical college were tnulstent that he should
call In at their game aa well. The presi
dent declared last night that he certainly
would see the Sewanen game, for Captain
Butt, his aide, and one other member of
hi party were old Sewanee men. and
tbey put In a convincing word for their
aUiua mater. When this became known
the president was besieged upon hi arrival
here by requests to attend the Tulane
game as well. It was said that It had
been extensively advertised that he would
be at the game and that It would be a
Litter disappointment to thousands of peo
ple If he did not. So Mr. Taft decided to
go to both gamca.
First he stopped In at Pelican Park and
saw the Sewanee team make the final
touchdown In a game which they won
with apparent ease. Thence the president
bad a six-mile automobile dash to Tulane
Campus, where he saw the laat fifteen min
utes of play In an evenly matched game,
won by Tulane. 1 to ft. At the Tulane game
the president's automobile wa stopped
along the side llnee and had been standing
there but a few momenta, when a lively
scrimmage and a spectacular tackle oc
curred right In front of his machine. At
both games the president' car were filled
with college cheers.

Roosevelt Professors Deliver Opening
Lectures, Describing Americans
as Conservative at Heart.

i Mats In the historic auditorium of the Tnl-
j verslty of Berlin today w hen Roosevelt,
Prof. Wheeler of California and ex-
i Chancellor Moore of Harvard, delivered
the opening lecturea of their courses. The
I speakers each spoke In German for half
'an hour. Stated near the Imperial party
were the American ambassador and Mrs.
Hill and many distinguished Germans.
President Wheeler's message from the
new world was as to the power of publio
opinion In the United States and he be-
I Ban with the words: "The source of all
' .Power In the United States Is public
; opinion.
The Oalifornlan declared that notwlth-
standing their radical theories, their fierce
spirit exhibited In elections and their pre
dilection for novelties, Americans were
essentially conservative. He was con
vinced from acquaintance with William J.
Bryan, he nald, that Mr. Bryan would have
been conservative If he had been elected
president, but If he had not proven con
servative, he would have been bound hand
and foot and gagged.
At the mention of Mr. Bryan there was
a stir In the audience among those 'who
happened to know that the emperor' coun
cillors of the Foreign office nad advised his
majesty against giving an audience to Mr.
Bryan when the distinguished American
visited Berlin In 1907. President Wheeler
described former President Roosevelt also
as conservative In his Innermost impulses.
The latter' capacity for understanding pub
lic opinion accounted, the speaker said, for
the great place which he held In the
hearts of th American people.
Prof. Wheeler outlined the -course of
lectures which he will deliver on the func
tlon of religious history. He said he would
treat the subject In a historical spirit
strictly. At the conclusion of the lectures
the emperor heartily complimented both
Americans after which the audience Joined

MOTOR PARKWAY. I I. Oct. 30.-
Under circumstances which turned the
event Into the holloweHt mockery of an
automobile race ever witnessed on - Long
Island. Harry F. Grant, driving a sixty
horse power Alco car today, won the
fifth Vanderbilt cup race, completing
twenty-two circuits of a 12.64 mile course In
four hours, twenty-five minutes and forty
twe seconds. Edward H. Parker at the wheel
of a forty-five horse power Flat was
second, five minutes and sixteen seconds
behind the winner.
William Knlpper, driving a forty horse
power Chalmers-Detroit, was In third posi
tion when the race was declared off by
the official. Only two other cars, the
Merceder, driven by Wlshart, and . the
Atlas, driven by Knox, were on the course
to the end.
Although run under unsurpassed weather
conditions the race w as marred In Us early
stages by simultaneous presence on the
course of three separate sets of car run
ning three distinct races over the sam
course, and In Its final period after the
smaller cars had left the circuit, by ac
cidents so numerous that but five of the
fifteen Vanderbilt cup entries were left a
contestant.
Not until the beginning of the twentieth
lap,' when the Flat dlsloged the Chalmers
Detroit for first position and wa Itself
passed In the back stretch by the Alco,
did anything like genuine enthusiasm
manifest itself.
Aleot Far In Lead.
For a brief period ls" seemed that a close
finish would be witnessed, but In--the
twenty-first and twenty-second lap Grant
widened the gap that separated hi in from
the field and finished practically alone.
Up to within one lap of the finish, the
officials were at odds a to the number of
laps which the leading car had finished
and It was only after a vigorous protest
from the entrant of the Alco that the
correct reading of the time card was an
nounced. The time made by the winner
was equivalent to 604 miles an hour, for
the entire distance of 278.08 miles.
The small car races run simultaneously

termination of hla trip down the Missis
sippi river today by addressing the dele
gates to the convention of the Lakes to
the Qulf Deep Waterway association,
which has as its object the improvement
of the Mississippi river and it tribu
taries. 1
On the arrival of the president dele
gates and visitors sprang to their feet.
Many mounted their chairs In order to
get a better view of the bowing, smiting
big man who waa working his way
through the double line of secret service
men and police officers. He stood on
the platform a moment greeting Tresljent
Kavanuugh of the waterways association
and then bowed his appreciation of th
applause.
President Kavanaugh presented him
with a handsomo gold hedge and then In
troduced Oovernor Sanders of Louisiana,
who In turn Introduced the president. The
applause broke out again and was rein
forced with some vigorous Yale yells.
When It died away President Taft com
menced his address.
Safe Voyage of Fleet.
The president began by having a little .
fun regarding the trip down the river.
He said the "dangers great had all been
run" and that the fleet had come through
without the loss of a single man. Mr.
Taft taunted the congressmen and gov
ernors for having .reairted to the hu
mlllntlng device or land transportation
at one stapo of the Journey. x
The president declared that no progress
had been uiada In river navigation in this
country In tho lasf fort or fifty yenrs.
The waterways of this country, Mr. Taft
declared, must bo used eventually to carry
the bulk of heavy merchandise.
nonds for Ohio ltlver.
The president's declaration that he fa
vored the Issuance of bonds for carrying
out the Ohio liver Improvement aH one of
ln aPProvea precis or tniana waterways
called out a burst of applause. The Ohio
river Improvement will cost $68,000,000. Mr.
Taft tald that he also favored bonds for alt
other, Improvement, Including th Mlssis-
i slppi. Just as soon as a feasible project
can be decided upon and can be shown to
be necessary1 and Justifiable. The Ohio
river gives the bulk of business to the
Mississippi, the president declared, and ev
ery Improvement of a tributary tended to
lnrrense the value of the great watr high
way" to the gulf.
The president told of the Improvements
to the MiKslRsppi on the way down, and
er-prcially In protecting the banks from u
further sloughing off at the outside of the
bonds. The engineers say they need $4,
CO0.000 mor a year to carry out thl bene
ficial work as It ought to be earrled out,
and that It was a shame congress did not
give it to them.
Tint for Action.
In conclusion President Taft declared that
the time for ortaory was past and that It
was now time to get down to brass tacks.
He said: It Is now up to you gentlemen
to decide what you want, what it will coat,
how long it will take and what the renult
will be. Once that Is done, you can com
mand, not ask."
He paid a compliment to trw) men ol
New Orleans and predicted that if the dele
gates to the convention remained here twe
or three days thy would forget that there,
was such a thing as a liver.
Time to Act Has Arrived.
"The plan for a deep waterway Js an
accomplished fact. What we need now li
action," declared W. K. Kavanaugh, presi
dent of the Lakes-to-the-Qulf Deep Water
way association, lu his address at th '
opening of Its convention today. "Th
history of the Mississippi river has been a
story of Inaction and of niggardly appro
priations, which have been fought through
the rivers and harbors committee, and
through congress without rhyme or rea
son," said the speaker. "The whole valley
Is sick with the congestion of Its trans
portation system, and only this deep water
way can relieve It. Tho people of the Mis
sissippi valley must have definite assur
ance that this carrier is to be completed
at a certain date, and that date must not
be much more remote than the completion
of the Panama canal."
Mr. Kavanaugh said that the people
looked to President Taft for the execution
of the great tack. He referred to the
executive's trip down the river, saying:
"He has seen the richest farm lands in
the world crumbling from Its banks, dis
solving in its waters; he has aean levees
Uiat protect 32,000 square miles of this
rich alluvial threatened by these caving
banks; he has seen the remains of uncom
plete revetments that have been torn away
by the river, because a neglectful congress
had not provided for their completion, and
he has seen a tliouf and-inlle channel un
burdened by a single modern vessel, the
docks of Its many cities unmarked by a
single Installation of modern terminal
apparatus.
River Partly I'ndrr Control.
"There was a day when the Mississippi
was considered an untameable stream, which
shifted lt channel and dtvoured Its banks
at will. Today we are able to show the
president of the United Ktates two remark
able changes: One of these is a liver
which. In its most difficult and most read
ily snlftlng parts, has been bound down by
the engineers to a fixed channel, with per

"The other is u gieut garden land of soil
worth from $100 to an acre, capable of

money to pay many times over the entire
cost of producing a fourteen-foot channel
