WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. After an ab
sence of more than three months, during;
which h has made a 13,000-mile trip
through the West and South, President
Taft sleeps tonight In the! White House.
He left the 'Capital August 8 with the
cheers of the crowds ringing in his ears.
He returned tonight .to the tune of the
same cheers, but he tarried only a mo
ment with the welcoming parties. His
objective point was the White House and
Mrs. Taft.and as quickly as he could
get away from the brief speeches of wel
come he climbed into his big automobile.
The chauffeur broke all the speed rec
ords of the district.
There was no demonstration at the
White rjouse. The special police there
kept the curious outside the grounds, and
when Mr. Taft alighted and ran quickly
up the steps he turned for a moment
and waved smiling farewell to Fred
Carpenter, his secretary: Colonel Spencer
Crosby and Captain Archibald Butt, his
two military aides, -who had accompanied
him from the station.
Servants Get Glad Hand.
Then the big swinging doors of the
White House swallowed him.
The President - shook hands -with the
two negro doormen, who smiled a wel
come that showed every tooth In their
heads.
The flunkeys continued to grin long
after the President had disappeared
above, where Mrs. Taft had been ap
prised of, his return. He did not show
himself again tonight, not even to visit
the new executive office, which was
lighted and decorated for his inspection.
Two hours before the President's train
was due crowds began to fill the Union
Bt&tion. There was an unusual gather
ing of police, secret service men and
detectives. When the train rolled In
from Richmond on tune there was an
Imposing throng on the platform. There
were a few women, but for the most
J) art Vie space was taken up by silk
hatted men
Silk-Hatted Men March.
Among the throng were Secretary Car
(enter. Colonel Crosby, military aide to
the President, and Assistant Secretary
ef War Oliver. i
A moment before the train pulled in
some diversion was caused by a com
mittee of 10 members of the Chamber
of Commerce filing down the broad stair
way. Frock-coated and silk-hatted, they
marched to the platform, two abreast,
and took up their stand at the point
where the President's car would stop.
When the train drew up the first per
son out was Captain Butt. He was fol
lowed by Secretary of the Navy Meyer,
who joined the President today In Rich
mond. Then the President, to the. ac
companiment of hand-clapping and a few
desultory cheers, stepped to the ground.
"Welcome to Our City."
"Mr. President. I want to welcome you
back to the Capital on behalf of the
members of the Chamber of Commerce."
said President Gode, of that body, cap
turing Mr. Taft Immediately.
"Thank you." replied the President, re
moving his hat and smiling benignantly
on the crowd. "I am glad to get back.
Let me see I left here August 6. Now I
am back again, feeling Just as well as
when I went away or even better."
Preceded by Captain Butt and followed
by Secretary Meyer and a throng of per
sonal friends. Mr. Taft then made his way
up the stairs to the waiting room set
aside for the President's use. Everyone,
except Mr. Taft. was excluded.
Press Kthics Cracked.
In spite of dress rehearsal of Cabinet
held at the Department of Justice last
Monday night, there were some violations
of ethics in wearing sppareL Secretary
Nagel daringly wore a white tie with
his frock coat and silk hat. and this lapse
seemed to Jar the aesthetic natures of
some of his fellow statesmen.
In any event. Secretary Nafrel and five
other members of the Cabinet disappeared
quickly, leaving Secretary Knox and Post
master General Hitchcock with the Presi
dent. The three conversed earnestly for
two or three minutes, after- which Mr.
Taft made his way to the White House
automobile.
The President did not appear to have
been fatigued by his lor.g trip. Appar-

Chicago Professor Unearths Lizard
like Skeletons Buried More
.. Than 15,000,000 Tears
CHICAGO, 111.. Nov. 10. Special.) The
missing link between reptiles and mam
mals, for which scientists have been
searching since Darwin first put forth
his theory of evolution, has been discov
ered In Northwestern Texas by Profes
sor Samuel Wendell Williston. of the
University of Chicago, according to an
announcement made by the department
of geology of that university.
Enormous lizardlike fossil remains have
been unearthed by the university's ex
pedition, which Dr. Williston Is conduct
ing, and the scientists declare the" ani
mals lived more than 15.000,000 years ago.
The excavations in which the remains
were found are In the region north of the
Wichita River. The fossils were burled
in a clay soil of what was once a river
delta.
The big lizards sought the water In
their death struggles and expired in pools
at quiet water. Since that time there,
have been extensive upheavals, making
the region mountainous, and then the
elevations were worn down td a level
plain, which now exists, and left the
skeletons close to the surface.
A hard red clay, Impervious to water,
has kept the remains in goodconditlon,
but it makes it difficult to disinter the
fossils without injury. The work has
now progressed until the general appear
ance of the animals in actual life Is
easily recognizable. Professor Wllltoton
Is now assembling the parts, preparatory
to placing the fossils on exhibition in the
Walker museum at the university.
TAPPERS MAKE BIG HAUL
Over $50,000 Is Won When Race
Odds Are Boosted. . ,
DENVER, Nov. 10. Probably between
50,000 and $70,000 was secured In this
city and suburbs and In Salt Lake Tues
day as the result of what la believed
to have been a cleverly executed Job of
wire-tapping near the Latonla racetrack,
and In which the odds on Howard Pear
son, winner of the sixth race at that
track, were boosted from 7 to 10 to 20
and even as high , as 40 to 1.
Many local bookmakers are refusing
today to pay bets on the races? Accord
ing to one bookmaker the odds apparent
ly were changed before post time and the
"boost" does not seem to have caused
suspicion. If the wire was tapped, the
post odds were set back and the false
odds sent. Then the plunge was made,
and as the tip on the horse apparently
was general, nearly every bookmaker
around Denver lost. It is stated that
the operations extended to Chicago.
Many local sporting men scout the
Idea that the reported killing of How
ard Pearson in local poolrooms was due
to wire tapping. They say that the
horse was strongly "touted" by a num
ber of "tip bureaus." and that the long
odds, resulting from a mistake in send
ing the betting from the track, caused
an unusually heavy play among those
who followed the "dope" closely.
MAKE TORPEDOES ON COAST
Jfavy Department Seeking Location
for Station in West.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Nov. 10. The Navy Department
has decided to establish a torpedo sta
tion on the Pacific Coast to manufacture
and repair torpedoes for use on the Pa
cific Coast and by the ships of the Pa
cific fleets.
There Is but one torpedo plant in the
United States at present, that at New
port, and It Is entirely Inadequate, being
able to turn out only 100 torpedoes a
year. More than twice that number are
purchased abroad.
The department proposes ultimately to
manufacture all its torpedoes In this
country, and to that end a plant will
be established on the Pacific Coast as
soon as Congress makes the necessary
appropriation. The exact location - of
the plant has not yet been determined.

J. B. Brown rushed out of the door

Three hundred people quickly joined
In the chase, and were gaining on the

did not check the throng, which chased
him Into an alley, where the breathless

He threw away the diamonds in his

MURPHY'S PLANS AWRY
Tammany Loses Ont All Around and
Office-Holders May Have to Go .
to Work New Executive ,
Owes Nothing-to Tiger.
BY LLOYD F. LONERGAS. -NEW
YORK. Nov. . (Special). What
will Judge Gaynor do with the immense
patronage of the Mayor's office when he
moves Into the City Hall on New Year's
day?
Heretofore It has been possible .to "get
a line" on the City Executive, and even
if he declined to take the public into his
confidence, there were always'' close
friends who revealed his secrets.
But Judge Gaynor has no close friends,
no political advisers, no trusted allies.
He Is a lonely, peevish old man, and is
liable to do any old thing he may think
of.
William J. Gaynor nan not taken an
active Interest In politics since 1893, and
then he was an independent.-. His nomi
nation this year was forced by Charles
F. Murphy, who hoped thereby to put
the Brooklyn organization out of business
and control the Board of Estimate with
Its power to dispose of nearly $1,000,000,
000 In contracts during the coming four
years.
This body has eight members with a
varying number of votes, and a total In
all of IS. By naming Gaynor and there
by keeping the President of the Board of
Aldermen and the Controller for himself.
Murphy figured he had those two officials
with their six votes, the President of the
Board of Manhattan with two, and the
President of the Borough of Bronx with
one, a total of nine and a clear majority.
Also a Murphy man, CasBidy, was slated
to rule the Borough of Queens.
Tammany Loses Board.
Brooklyn was to be sidetracked and
wiped off the map, but by a strange Irony
of fate, Brooklyn, with Queens, controls
the Board of Estimate and Tammany has
not a single representative in that body.
For Gaynor can hardly be called a Tam
many man. In fact, nobody has - the
slightest Idea what kind of a man he Is.
He never was In Tammany Hall in his
life until during the closing days of the
campaign. The Brooklyn Democratic
leaders opposed his nomination as far as
they dared. He made his tours of the
city alone, and insulted most of the big
politicians who met , him en route. He
never visited the various headquarters of
his party. Even the magnificent "Gaynor
suite" In the Hotel Cadillac, provided by
a committee of business men,- was
shunned by him.
It was expected that on election night
Gaynor would be anxious to learn the re-

viously been favored with a visit from
her and vacated. She passed into a
room where a number of clerks and
tellers were at work.
A messenger . was sent post haste for

Seattle Club Owner and President of
League Say They Are Paying Sal

MEMPHIS. Tenn., Nov. 10. The ad
mission of the California State League
into organized baseball, the re-election of
M. H. Seaton, of Rhode Island, and a
spirited fight in the Northwestern League
for special legislation were the features
of the second session of the annual meet
ing of the National .Association of Minor
Leagues here today. "
The Northwestern' League, represented
by President W. N. Lucas and W. E. Dug
dale, president of . the Seattle club, made a
hard fight for some special legislation in
its favor and the request was referred to
the committee on revision. The North
western League's men contended that
they were in' a peculiar position geo
graphically and that they were In reality
a Class A league, yet only in the Class B
classification.
Lucas Claims Class A.
President Lucas said there, were 1,000,
000 people in the six cities pf their cir
cuit, the population ' required Class A
leagues, and that they were paying Class
A salaries.
Mr. Lucas' then asked the association
to allow the Class A leagues to draft
only one player from -the Northwestern
League and limit the major leagues to
two.
This was laid before the committee on
revision. The reclassification, based on
the census of 1910, -probably will give the
Northwestern League a position in Class
A about July of next year.
The president and Mr. Dugdale also
stated that the Northwest League was
willing to purchase the rights of the Pa
cific Coast League to Portland, Or.,
which had a team In both leagues, last
season.
Drafting System 'Discussed.
The elimination of drafting and the
setting of a flat draft price on all minor
leagues regardless of classification were
also discussed and "may be taken up by
the constitution revision committee which
will make Its report tomorrow.
Seven cifies made bids for the 1910 con
vention' of the association and the place
of meeting will be, chosen tomorrow. The
cities making - bids were Louisville,
Rochester. Denver, Rock- Island, Colum

The National Association will hold 0ts
final meeting tomorrow, but the Na

apparently without interference, but all

PARIS," Nov. 10. Testimony today In
the trial of Mme. Steinhell, charged with
'the murder of her husband and her step
mother, was distinctly favorable -to the
defendant, v
The state's circumstantial case against
Mme. Steinheil seems to be breaking
down and It Is already rumored that the
trial may be abandoned and a new inves
tigation ordered.
Faure's Name Dragged In.
Anti-Dreyfus papers like the Libre
Parole and the Patrie have again begun
to revamp their previous insinuations that
the crime involved a political plot for the
destruction of evldonce regarding the
death of ex-President Felix Faure, which
the anti-Dreyfussards never have ceased
to claim was due to foul play, because,
as they alleged, M. Faure opposed the
revision of the Dreyfus case.
Gregorl Would Be Heard.
Louis Anethene Gregorl. who shot
Major Dreyfus at the canonization of
Zola in the Pantheon in 1908, has written
an open letter to M. de Valles, presiding
judge, demanding that he be heard on the
subject of the death of the ex-President,
and the antl-Dreyfussards seek to give
color to .their insinuations by emphasizing
the veiled threats which Mme. Steinheil
repeatedly made in open court to reveal
her relations with prominent men in t
every walk of life should she be driven
to bay.
Judge de Valles, however, evidently as
sumes that former Intrigues have no
bearlng'on the case and twice has prac
tically defied her to draw in whatever
scandal and names she pleased. "You
may name whom you will," he said to
ner.
Cook Strengthens Defense,
Mariette Wolf, cook In the Steinheil
household, and her son, Alexander, whose
appearance was awaited with profound
interest, threw no new light on the mur- .
der mystery, but by a further mass of
contradictions strengthened the impres-.
sion in the accused woman's favor.
Mme. Steinheil's nurse also retracted
her previous deposition, In which she ex
pressed the opinion that the defendant's
illness, after the crime, was simulated,
and Maurice- Bordedel, a wealthy mer
chant, whom the state assumes Mme.
Steinheil desired to marry, testified to his
absolute belief in her Innocence. .
