protected operation of a rouletle wheel
in a fashionable apartment house where
Charles VY. Clnrk, a son of former Sen
ator W. A. Clark of Montana, is said to
have lost $20,iniO is causing tho inves

Clark, it it. said, was induced to visit
the house and at tho time had no in
tention of gambling. lie had little
money witli him and the rouletle oper
ators wore forced to wait for a check
to cover his losses. The story says
Clark began to suspect that he was tho

Speaks to Convention of
the Lakes to Gulf Deep
Waterway Association
-Confers with Hitchcock
elllC.UiO. Oct. 7. Four hundred
lelcgates were preseiit today at the
opening of the Lakes (o the litilf Deep
Waterway association eon vent ion by
President W, K. Kavanaugh. Among
t hem are governors, congressmen and
other public men. The keynote of the
purpoHCM of the convention was sound
ed by Kavanaugh i:i the general ques
tion: ".Shall our national prosperity be
promoted ami perpetuated ? ' It is es
t:mntcd that on.uiiu visitors are attend
ing the sessions.
Taft Goes on Record.
During the routine business of the
convention tlovernor Charles Deneou of
Illinois introduced William II . Taft.
At the conclusion of a brief speech
by tin republican candidate the con
vention adjourned until tomorrok. This
afternoon delegates visited Lock port
to visit the new canal work.
Taft. pledged himself to a general
improvement policy of improving of
lakes and rivers in the event of his
election iu his address before the (iiilf
to the Lakes association here today
Taft declared that the cost of making
harbors on the Mississippi rivers would
be enormous, but would be a splendid
invest ment, p:iyi::g I reiiiemluus divi
dends, saving freight charges and open
ing up great undeveloped areas.
lie declared that the time is ripe for
these improvements, according to him,
he will advocate to mould into a com
plete system of transportation.
He referred to the great increase in
industry.
Of Advantage to Roads.
"The policy of waterways improve
ments does not operate to the disad
vantage of the railroads. By the nat
ural economy of transportation bulk
raw material, demanding tho lowest
freight rale, falls to t lie waterways,
while manufiictured goods have the rail
ways. By reason of t he lower water
rates and the unlimited carrying capac
ity of 1 he waterways, you carry mil
lions of Ions of raw materials to fur
naces and factories to be converted
into eorr'sponding Ions of merchandise
capable of bearing a higher charge."
The candidate declared that the im
provemeuts proposed by the conven
tion should be treated as one great en
terprise like the Panama calan, and
provision should be made by bonds, or
t herwise for get I nig t unds sufficient
o complete llie great projects as rap
illy as possible.
Want Toddy to Stump.
William II. Taft an I Prank II. Ilileh
ock, the campaign manager, held an
extended conference at the Auditorium
innex today ami went over the situa
tion al length. Iteports from Washing
that President L'oosevolt has as
Hiinitil personal control of (he campaign
were said to be groundless. It is
known here, however, that strong pres
sure is being brought to bear to induce
the presidlenl to take the slump in the
latter weeks of the campaign. No de
termination has been reached, however,
as to whe her the president will de
cide 1o do so, it is said. II itehcock
said that reports recently received are
gratifying to the leaders.
At the conclusion of his address. Taft
hoarded the train for Calesburg to ad
dress an audience on the identical spot
where the famous Lincoln -Douglas do
bate took dace.
