6 MINT JULEP DOES NOT TEMPT TUFT Leaves It Untasted but Eats Bounteous Southern Breakfast. ' SPEAKS ON HIS POWER Will Not Exceed Limits Placed by Constitution, Even for Good End, but Will Pnt Ke ponsihility on Congress. SAVANNAH, Ga., Nov. 4. A real mint Julep failed to tempt President Taft in Macon today. It had been brewed with consummate skill and re posed, apparently harmless. In a green topped glass that had barnacles of frost ing on the outside. It was placed be fore the President at breakfast in the Bartlett home. This is what the President did: He looked at the Inviting mixture, smiled and then got busy with a bountiful Southern breakfast. He had plenty to eat. Including waffles. quail. fried chicken, sausage, steak, broiled ham, broiled chicken and grits. "If this is what you would call break fast, I wonder what dinner would be like," commented the President. The mint Julep remained In the glass when the President left the table. Its ultimate fate Is a bit uncertain, but Mr. Taft did not drink It that much is sure. Will Xot Exceed Powers. The President's principal utterance of the day was at Macon. In it he sought to define more exactly than he has in the past the limitations placed upon the executive and the re sponsibility that should rest upon Con gress. "I doubt not after I am out of office," he said, "I shall be able to look back and see where 1 might have done things in the exercise of power that would have filled me with a consciousness of It, but. I am bound to say that under existing circumstances the thing which impresses' me most is not the power I have to exercise under the constitution, but the limitations and restrictions to which I am subject. 'But our forefathers builded well and they knew what they were doing; and I am not in favor, even If it seems to me that a particular provision ought to be omitted. of changing the Constitution when you run against the sharp edge of something that indicates that you are only mortal and that the forefathers In muking the Constitution distrusted your human nature. Follow Lav as It Exists. "My friends, that leads me up to one little sermon and that Is. the wisdom and necessity of following the law as It exists I know that sometimes in the zest and enthusiasm, of reform there is impatience with legal limitations and statutes. I do not think, and I am sure you will agree with me. that this is the best way of getting rid of a legal limitation that in terferes with progress. The best way Is to have the people understand that the limitations ought to be removed and that the statutes of -our Government ought to conform so far as may be to our highest Ideals and ambitions: but that the first thing that we have got to do after arous ing the people to the necessity Is to change- the law and not rely upon the executive himself to Ignore the statutes and follow a law unto himself, because it Is supposed to be the law of higher morality. Place Responsibility Rightly. "I am telling you of ihcie limitations of the Executive and of the duty of Con gress, because this Winter I expect to recommend a lot of things to Congress, and I want you to know where the re sponsibility lies If they fail to pass." The President has formally come to the defense of " 'possum." When somebody in a crowd In Columbus, Ga., yesterday shouted, "How about 'posum? " he said: "in some way or other the impression has gone abroad that I have a peculiar love for that dish. Well, at Atlanta they gave me a dish of 'possum' that waa very well conked, and that I liked very much.' I am bound to say that I cannot dis tinguish it from the taste of young pig. but I have had to encounter, insisting that they did not like it, a certain sort of vrejudk-e that is said to exist against that animal In the tastes of some people. Now. I don't entertain that sort of pre Judtce." Mr. Taft arrived here at 7:46 tonight He will remain here until tomorrow. He is due to arrive in Washington next Wednesday evening.

SEALS RAISED BY HAND Solution of Extermination Problem May Be Found. SEATTLE. 'Wash., Nov. 4. On the revenue cutter Bear, bound from Se attle to San Diego, are two fur seal pups raised by hand by the boatswain, Judson Thurber. and his success In rearing the infants has caused hope that extermination of the American seal herd may be averted. When the adult seals go outside the three-mile limit they are butchered by Japanese sealers, who last season, with 20 schooners, killed 10.000 seals. The babies left on the rookeries starve to death if their mothers do not return, for each seal cares for her own chil dren only. Thurber took two orphaned seals last Summer, fed them on con densed milk until they were able to eat fish and now they are vigorous pups. They will probably be presented to Dr. David Starr Jordan, of Stanford University. Grand Jury Indicts Krnst. OREGON CITY, Or., Nov. 4. (Spe cial.)

Predictions of Victory In Residence Districts Falsified One . - Sample Story. . SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4. (Special.) Politicians are much amused over the claims put forth by the Heney League before election. According to this prophecy. Heney was invincible In 'the residential district, but Fickert beat Heney in every district in one by 400 votes, in- another by 1200 votes and in still another by 1200 votes and in still another by 3 to 1 and In several more by 2 to 1. his victory being absolutely overwhelming. Heney, despite all his brag, carried not a single precinct. Heney is said to be the sorest man in San Francisco. It was an awful blow to his conceit to ' be beaten so scandalously by a practically unknown man. Since the election many stories have come out showing Heney de feated himself. Here is one that cost him thousands of votes: One day about a month ago Heney entered the steam room at the Olympic Club, two men were talking and one said: "Well, all I want Is to see Heney thoroughly beaten. " As thev emerged into the room out sl'ie. Heney made himself known and remarked: "Well, ycu can bet on it that the man who votes against me is either a crook or an imbecile." It did not take this story more than 10 minutes to get all over the club and before the day was over it was discussed at every olub in San Fran- GULCH. MAY BE BRIDGED South Portland Club Also Other Improvements. Plans Bridging Marquam Gulch at Second street and having the district lying be tween Marquam Gulch ami Fulton Park paved with asphaltum. were among the improvements planned at the South Port land Boosters' meeting last night. Whether the new bridge shall be made of wood or steel is a matter that will be determined at the next meeting of the club. Committees were appointed to see city officials concerning the matter of cleaning up Marquam Gulch and getting proper sewers built there. Another committee was appointed to work in behalf of more children's playgrounds for the South Port land district, and still another was ap pointed to confer with the Commercial Club about having the gulches In South Portland beautified. The meeting last night was well at tended, and 40 new members were secured. OIL STEAMER HITS ROCKS Catania Drives Hole in Bottom While Entering Golden Gate. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 4.

A cordon- of 150 policemen stood guard today around New York's Criminal Court building, which the building inspectors have sud denly found threatens to collapse. .
