TUFT SECLUDED IN
SIERRA RETREAT
Rides Amid Inspiring Scenes
of Yosemite Mountains,
L6oks Into Valley.
RESTS IN NATURE'S GLORY
Long; Stage Journey Cp Mountain
Gives Glimpses or Wonderland
of California Greets
Band of Children.
WAWOXA, Ca!., Oct. 7. An all-day
tage ride over 34 miles of mountain
roads brought President Taft tonight
to this lovely little Sierra retreat. Mr.
Taft and lils party reached the AVawona
Hotel In their stages at 5 P. M.. one
hour after the scheduled time, due to
the lingering in the Grouse Creek for
est near Chinquapin, where the noon
day luncheon was served on improvised
tables set down at the foot of a hun
dred towering pines.
The day ride from El Portal, which
began at 7 A. M.. included glimpses of
Tosemlte Valley, from Inspiration
and Artist's Point, a pursuit of the
tumbling waters of the Merced River
Into the valley floor and a winding,
narrow climb to the crest of mountains
7000 feet high, which snut In the won
ders of the Yosemite. The day .was
bright, the air like crystal and every
where waa the exhilarating scent of
pines. News that mountain lions were
infesting the park held out hope of
adventure for a time, but not even the
tracks of one were seen on the road.
Enjoyable, Restful Day.
The President has declared that this
was one of the most enjoyable days
of his life. It was the first glimpse of
the Yosemite and surroundings, and the
freedom from speech-making all con
tributed to the pleasure of the first
day of rougilng it in the Sierras. This
outing came Just In time, for the Pres
ident was pretty well tired out when
he left San Francisco.
Mr. Taffs constant coach companion
today was John Muir, the noted natu
ralist and explorer. Sir. Muir knows
his Yosemite and he had ready answers
for the innumerable questions the Pres
ident put to him. .
As he passed through the outskirts
of the valley, the President was saluted
by a grizzled old California pioneer,
Galen Clark, the first white man to
make known the existence of the giant
sequoia trees which the President will
see tomorrow. Mr. Clark Is now over
90. He lives in the park and has asked
that he be buried amid the trees and
mountains he has known so long and so
well.
Walks and Get Appetite.
The President alighted from his stage
during a portion of the trip and walked
a mile or more up the mountain road.
It gave him a splendid appetite for
the picnic luncheon of fried chicken,
potatoes, pie, fruit and Jelly. At one
point in the park where a change of
stages was made the President was
greeted by a band of little school chil
. dren and shook hands with them.
Tonight In the temporary "White
House." into which one of the little
hotels here had been converted, the
President la being guarded, aa he was
last night at El Portal, by a detach
ment of cavalry.
The President tomorrow morning will
go into the valley and see the big trees,
fie will spend Friday night at Glacier
Point, or Sentinel Hotel, and return to
El Portal Saturday. He will start early
Sunday morning lor Los Angeles, where
he will arrive Monday morning.

SIDNEY. Neb.. Oct. 7. Anton Krup
nlcke was a wealthy farmer living a few
miles from Sidney. On the night of June
19 he arose from his. bed, sought a drink

producing almost instant death. His
wife telephoned the Sheriff that robbers
had entered the house, stolen $700 and
then killed her husband.
The money and rifle were found

CHINA IMPORTS BAD PORK
' Orientals Ship Tuberculous Hog
Carcasses to London.
' LONDON, Oct. 7. No fewer than 9
per cent of the carcasses of Chinese
hogs recently imported into England,
and thus far Inspected by the sanitary
commission of the city of London,
have been found to be affected with tu
berculosis. The first shipment of 5000 hogs sold
well In the wholesale market. Al

WIRELESS RECORD FALLS
situation to the supporters of the Irish J
cause in America, and to appeal for j
funds to carry on the struggle for
home rule.
The Nationalists regard the ap
proaching general elections as one of i
the most critical periods in their his
tory, and the full power of their or
ganization will be utilized in helping
the Liberals to deprive the House of
Lords of the power to veto, which, they
claim, is the .sole remaining obstacle to
home rule.
The Nationalist point of view is set
forth in an appeal Mr. Redmond is for
warding to M. J. Ryan, of Philadel
phia, which follows:
"A great crisis in the Irish struggle
has arisen. The House of Lords is en
gaged at this moment in destroying
the Irish land bill, with its promise of
closing the land war of centuries and
completing the restoration of all the
land of Ireland to her people, and the
banishing forever of misery and fam
ine from the west of Ireland.
"General elections are certain with
in the next two weeks. In these elec
tions, the veto of the House of Lords
will be at stake, and with the veto of
the House of Lords will disappear the
last obstacle to home rule, i
"In this fight, Ireland will have ar
rayed against her all the forces of
landlordism. wealth and privilege.
Once more we appeal to our people to
help, us fight against these powerful
enemies of our race."
SEATTLE MISSES POINT
CAN'T SEE JOKE AND MAN WITH
GROICH IS ARRESTED.
Badges Announcing "To Hell With
Seattle; I'm Going Home," Fall
Flat at Fair.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Oct. 7. (Speolal.)
"To hell with Seattle: I'm going
home." Is the message told in letters
of black on silk ribbon badges which
were on sale for a brief time- yesterday
at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition,
or until Chief Wappenstein. of the- A..
Y.-P. guards, confiscated the lot from
the small boys who were selling them,
and also caused the arrest of Chilman
White, of Tacoma and Portland, the
man who Is accused of having author
ized the badges to be distributed.
White is one 'of the exhibitors in the
machinery building at the fair. The
Tacoma-Portland man, it is said, de
parted from his usual custom of enter
ing the grounds on an exhibitor's pass
by purchasing a 50-cent admission at
the gate on Exhibition day, September
IS.
This entitled him to a prize, one of
some 68,000 that were in the various
exhibition places, but when he drew i.is
he evidently was not satisfied. The
grouch seed was planted and later
bloomed into 3000 - silk badges. Chief
Wappenstein confiscated the lot and
warned White against exhibiting his
grouch in such a public manner.
