, covery Is Doubtful.

JOHNSON EAST IN NIGHT.
' SOTHESTER, Minn.. Sept. At
J o'clock this mornln Governor
Johnnon was resting easier. There
Is still some abdominal distension.'
Fulse 108. temperature 99.4.
ROCHESTER. Minn.. Sept. 18. Late
today Governor Johnson's condition was
such that the St. Mary's Hospital author
ities would not say definitely their pa-
tient would recover from the operation
performed on him Wednesday morning.
Encouraging, however, was a bulletin
from the hospital at 6 o'clock tonight
signed by Dr. Mayo, reading as follows:
-Governor Johnson Is better; he looks
fine. If he gets through the night and
tomorrow without having any more trou
ble, we look for his recover?. The wound
looks Rood and the Governor says he
foeis much Improved. His pulse is 102.
temperature 99. respiration normal."
Dr. W. J. Mayo said this evening a
rumor that stitches or sutures In the
wound had been loosened by the Gover
nor's violent fit of vomiting yesterday
afternoon was unfounded.
Fted "tv. Johnson, the Governor's
brother, and Frank A. Day. the Gover
nor's private secretary, called at the hos
pital this afternoon but were not per
mitted to see the patient.'
Mrs. Johnson has been in constant
attendance at her husband's bedside
during the day. .
In speaking tonight of Governor
Johnson's chances for recovery, lr.
McNevln said:
"While I do not wish to give a false
lmrresslon or minimize the very grave
danger that Governor Johnson Is still
In. I cannot help feeling encouraged
by the slow but gradual improvement
of the patient during the day. There
are no indications of peritonitis or
other complications, though, of course,
the danger is not yet over."
Pr. Mayo at 10:30 tonight gave out the
following:
"Governor Johnson Is a little more rest
less and not so comfortable as he was
when the last bulletin was Issued. This
is the first bad time he has had 'today
and it is not very bad now. There has
been no vomiting since 8 P. M., when
warm water was given him to relieve
; nausea."
BOARD'S ACTION PLEASES
Baker People Confident Thief Val
ley Project Will Materialize.
BAKER CITY. Or., Sept IS. (Special.)
General satisfaction prevails here over
the decision of the State Board of Con
trol In granting the Thief Valley irriga
tion project to the Evans-Almirall Com
pany, and people fully expect that work
will begin soon on the project. So far
only surveys have been made, although
several pl-cis of property needed for suc
cessful completion of the project have
been purchased.
One of. these was a small irrigation
rervoir and some land belonging to
Kmil Melzer. Fred R. Mellis and Issadore
Fuchs. This land was taken up a few
years ago and developed to a certain ex
tent. As it lies immediately north and
-ast of the proposed Thief Valley proj
ect, the company that is behind the big
v undertaking decided to add thia much
to it.
It is stated that a dam 90 feet high
will be placed across Powder River at the
mouth of a large canyon. Should this
be done, a reservoir several mllea in
length will be the result, and water will
be -backed up to the railroad trestle near
Telocaset. If the project is finished along
the lines now mapped out. water wil be
placed on about 65.u0 acres of land. In
cluding a portion of the celebrated Virtue

DANGERSOYCOTT CURE

OBJECT TO CRITICISM.
Refuse) to Attend Church. When
Preacher Censures Their Favor
ite Form of Faslime.
PARIS, Sept. 18. (Special.) Through
his condemnation of the frivolity of danc
ing, the cure of the little town of Puget
Vllle, near Toulon, has found his church
boycotted by all the women of the com
munity. Some Sundays ago a number of dancing
booths were set up in the town on the oc
casion of the local festival. But the vicar
considers dancing immoral, and In his
sermons on the Sunday- morning of the
festival he said the only young women
who would be seen that evening at the
dancing booths would be those of friv
olous character and light morals.
The women of the congregation took
great offense at the sermon, for dancing
takes place only once a year at Puget
Ville. and all the women take part then.
So that evening all the women of the
congregation attended the ball.
They have also boycotted the' cure and
the parish church, walking three miles to
the neighboring parish on Sundays).
Finding his church deserted and himself
Ignored by all the women in the place,
the cure proffered an olive branch
through his verger. The women there
upon held a meeting and decided that
they would continue the boycott, until the
cure publicly retracted the objectionable
sermon and promised not to interfere with
the dancing next year.
The cure has referred the matter to his
bishop, and there the matter stands.

for Treatment.
NEW TORK, Sept. 18. Dr. Lewis
Livingston Seaman, one of the dele
gates to the recent international med
ical congress at Budapest, arrived on
the steamer Campania from Liverpool

ing made by America and the success
of the congress.
"The Americans are far ahead of oth
er nations in many branches of sur
gery and medicine." said Dr. Seaman,
"as shown by the testimony and the
exhibits at the congress. This is par
ticularly true in the case of appendi
citis, where we excel, both In the treat
ment of the disease and the technique
of the operation."
Speaking generally. Dr. Seaman said
It was the height of Insanity for Amer
icans to go abroad for treatment by
foreign specialists when there are phy
sicians at home who could "walk all
around" the European medical men.

faced an audience which filled the hall.
As the crowd had assembled during
the luncheon, each person had been
presented with a small American flag
and when the President turned from
his seat at the guests' table he looked
Into a waving sea of colors. After a
brief speech, the President was driven

to the crowd which had gathered.

to Minneapolis and retired to his ho
tel for a three hours' rest before start
ing for the banquet tendered him to
night at the Minneapolis Auditorium.
Tariff Not Mentioned.--
During the day the President made
no reference to the tariff. Among
those who received him, politicians and
business men alike, the Winona speech
of last night. In which the President
made clear his position with reference
to the Payne bill and those members
of the Republican party who voted for
and against that measure, was the
chief topic of discussion.
The fact that Mr. Taft waited until
he got into "insurgent" territory be
fore saying what he had to say of
those Senators and Representatives
"who abandoned their party" in the
tariff fight, shared largely in the im
pression of earnestness left by the
speech. Representative Tawney, of
Minnesota, whose course in voting for
the tariff bill was upheld by the Pres
ident, participated in the Twin Cities
entertainment today.
Senator Clapp, of this state, was con
stantly with the President during, the
day and In Introducing Mr. Taft at the
St. Paul Auditorium referred to him not
only as the President, but as the "fore
most citizen of the country." Senator
Clapp's colleague. Senator Nelson
also "Insurgent" was not In tho city
to attend the day's functions.
In his address at the St. Paul Audi
torium the President said:
Taft 'Eulogizes Johnson.
"I cannot begin my remarks to you un
til I have expressed how touched I am by
tho message of welcome from your
stricken Governor. That he, on a bed of
pain, should remember to give welcome to
me, carried me back to the many times
it has been my good fortune to meet him
several times on the soil of Minnesota
and always to receive from his smiling,
delightful personality a soise of sincere
welcome to the state that loves him so
well. I unite with you in a fervent prayer
to God that he may be spared to you and
to the country. With his ability, with
his courage and with his great common
tense, he cannot be spared. He is too
valuable, not alone to the people of the'
Ftate, but to those of the Nation, who
doubtless will Insist in time that he shall
serve them.
'And now, my friends, I do not feel al
together a stranger to an audience in this
magnificent structure in St. Paul, for I
remebmer that under the kindly favor of
the distinguished archbishop to St. paul,
although I am suffering somewhat from
an over-festival at Minneapolis, I was
enabled to express to you some two years
ago my gratitude for your then cordial
reception.
"When we entered upon this scene, and
there was nothing beforeus but Old
Glory, I had borne In upon me what this
greeting means. It means you have se
cured the opportunity of the coming of
the titular head your country to express
to him your welcome, the deep feeling of
patriotism and pride In your Nation that
you have, and are only too glad to mani
fest it when opportunity offers. I under
stand exactly what is meant and do not
misunderstand, it. I think whenever I
meet children and they are out with flags
to cheer me that it is a good thing to
have them see me for a moment because
they always will recollect seeing the tem
porary head of the Nation, and it always
will arouse in them the thought, the ob
ligation to become patriots and good
citizens. '
Personality Taken Out.
"I take out all personality. It is the
office; It is the headship of the Nation;
it is the spirit of the Nation; it Is some
thing that . ought to warm every little
heart In order that it may continue for a
life-time to be the guide of his conduct
and the inspirations of his life.
"My friends, I am making a lontTtour-j
13,000 miles. I am going around to see
what is in this country, anyhow. I am
going to convince the country, if I can,
that I have staying qualities to meet all
the dangers to which I may be exposed
by way of train travel and digestion. I
hope you will understand that I feel
deeply grateful for your expression of
welcome and that I shall treasure -the
memory of this sight dear Old Glory ad
vanced as a welcome my whole life
long."
Two Speeches This Week.'
President Taft, having disposed of his
views on the tariff at Winona last night.
Is now planning to make two more
speeches of first importance next week.

Mr. Taft will be the guest of Senator
Cummins, a. Senate "insurgent."

sources and may have something more to
say on the Ballinger-Plnchot controversy.
This speech probably will be delivered on
Tuesday nlght-
The President was Introduced by Sen
ator Clapp, who read to the audience
the message of greeting sent to the
President by Governor Johnson, who is
sick at Rochester.
' President Taft said:
That Governor Johnson, on a bed of
pain, should have sent a message of
greeting, carries me back to the many
times that, in visiting Minnesota, I
have received from him such a sin
cere welcome in behalf of the state
that loves him so well. And I unite
with you in the fervent prayer to God
that he may be spared to you and the
country.
"His ability, his great courage, his

NAVY TIRES OF SUTTON
ATTORNEY SATS IT'S TIME TO
CALL HALT.
Sympathy With Mother Strong, but
Innocent Officers Must
Not Bo Convicted-
WASHINGTON, 9?pt. IS. Attorney A.
A Birney, who represented Lieutenant
Adams at the Sutton inquiry at Annapo
lis is out today with a statement saying
It is time. for Mrs. Sutton and her attor
neys to call a halt on interviews Insin
uating that young Sutton was murdered.
He says:
"The acquittal of the Lieutenants was
strong and emphatic as was very clearly
justified by the evidence. It seems to
me that it is about time that that verdict
was respected and that there was a letup
to this persecution of the young men who
are at the threshold of their careers.
The warfare against them Is continued by
the exploitation of surmises and remote
possibilities, such as are to be found in
any case. When one contention, based
on some hazy guess or inference, is
shattered, there is Immediate resort to
some other visionary proposition. There is
great shouting over the smallest point
that may be discovered, interviews are
given out, and the work goes on of con
victing in the public mind, several in
nocent men of the crime of murder.
"I don't believe the Attorney General
is going to permit prosecuting officers of
Federal courts to be made use of.
"The result of the autopsy is strongly
to the point. It has been heralded far
and wide that an examination of Lieu
tenant Sutton's body would reveal that
one of his arms was broken in two places
and that reveral ribs were fractured.
The examination Bhowed that every bone
wis Intact. The theory that Sutton was
beaten to death therefore is not sup
ported by this version. Now has fol
lowed a new proposition, that the condi
tion of the bullet wound shows that Sut
ton was slain. As a matter of fact, the
autopsy has not revealed anything that
was not brought out in the testimony.
"Sympathy with Mrs. Sutton has been
etrong. and rightly so, but I protest that
that sympathy must not be carried so
far as to hold up Innocent young men to
the country as vicious murderers."
