would listen to a postponement. So, direct
from the ferry house, they drove through
the pelting rain to a (ewelry establishment
on the upper avenue. A police automobile
preceded the president s car and a secret
service machine followed.
The advent of the president at ths shop
was entirely unexpected and the holiday
tt.tongs forgot the problem of Christmas
presents fcr the time being, when word
o? the arrival of the distinguished new
comers spread about the place,
President and Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Laugh

men was placed at their disposal. Tray
after tray of glittering gold and s.lver
trir.kets was boren Into the room and from
those a rarity of Christmas presents for
the White House family were selected,
A watch for Charlie Taft. a bracelet and
other things for Miss Helen, scholarly

10:30 p. m. atoviag Pictures,
Remnants of a movinff picture, from
which the portions lnclud.ug President
Taft revieair.g the parade, of ribbon win
ners at the Seattle Stock show during
the Alaska-Tukon-Pacific exp jeition, were
removed by an unexplain.d official order,
were ahawn at the National Corn exposi
tion Monday afternoon for the first time.
A week ago this picture was expected
to arrive for the opening cf the Corn Show.
Simultaneously frcia opposite ride of tbe
continent Seattlq and New York caine
( WK-i-rania, ttaring the information that e-
jreiary uson riia oraeiva tnts picture up-
pressed. There was no
explar.alloa of
whys or wherefores. It
w as just so or-
dered. that was alL
Monday afternoon the film arrived from
Washington by express. The package was
carefully stowed aw a.- until the officials
of the exposition mig. t examine it.
Late In the afterr.' on a little bunch of
J anxious men gathered n ne quiet of blo
I graph hail to see th.s much-discussed pic
ture run on a first trial. The government
: officials who were at Seattle when the
picture was taken and who are now at the
Corn Show were members of the much
interested audience.
The picture film was adjusted and the
machine started up with a buss. The
images on the screen flashed by, but there
was no suggestion cf the p.e?ence of the
president in any of the p ctures. Secre
tary Wilson's order has obviously been
carried out most completely.
Cattle, horses and sheep, sleek and fine
of figure, swept over the canvas, prancing
bravely or aln pulling back stubbornly
from the urging attendants.
"Good picture," agreed all the officers
w ho saw the trial, but everyone would nave
liked to see the part that was trimmed
out under Secretary Wilson's order.
Government Ascents Mans.
"Fine cattle indeed." was the only com
ment of F. Lamrin Scribner. the official
In charge of the government exhibit at the
Corn Show. Neither be nor Joseph Abel,
a member of the bureau of anlrual industry,
who was in Rraiile at the show when tho
picture was taken, would discuss the pic
ture or anything connecte-d with the of
ficial action which preceded Its shipment
to Omaha.
This picture was taken by E. E. Thomp
son, a government photographer at Seat
tle, under the direction of Joseph Abel.
The film was taken to Washington by
Thompson a few weeks ago to be devel
oped. No official notice In regard to the pic
ture was given here, so far aa can bo
ascertained. The picture simply failed to
strive on time. Telegrams from Omaha
failed to elicit further Information until a
message came that the picture would be
on Its way a few days late. This cen
sored film was taken especially to show
in Omaha at the National Corn exposition.
It will be taken from here to other govern
ment exhibits after the close of tho Com
Show.
The original picture. It is understood, con
tained nothing more than the fig-ire of tho
president as he stood tevie-w.ng the live
stock parade. Mr. Taft had but paused
to admire a string of fine cattle that was
pissing. He was engaged In conversation
with the officials about him at the time.
