TOTS OF SELLWOOD SCHOOL TELL OF PRESIDENT TAFT'S VISIT TO GOLF LINKS Boy Pupils, Caddieg All, Describe President's Chop Stroke and His Swing Girl, Tossed in Air by Nation's Chief, "Had to Laugh" Little Josiah Williams Is Literary in His Account of Game Compositions Teacher's Idea. - t - ANY boy who attends tha Sell wood public school, and does not at uni period in hia school life at that Institution, yearn to be a caddie on tha green golf course of the Waverly Golf Club nearby, well, that boy Is aa yet unheard of. After school houra every boy vhow duties do not absolutely tear him away from the Inviting novelty, shoulders a bag-, acts as caddie for some perspiring- aspirant for irolflng honors, and wanders- for hours over the green sward. And they make good money at it. too. Borne of them average from $1.80 to $2.60 a day, others less. Oftentimea the would-be caddies play hockey. Just tn be cut on the links. Following the recent visit of President Taft to Portland, and more especially his visit to tha golf links, the teacher had a happy and original inspiration, with the result that many well-written ana inter esting comDOsitions were handed In. rela tive to the game of golf played by the President. A few accounts of Taffs visit to the links aa viewed by tots are. given below. The first one is by Hugh Johnson. Jn the eighth A grade: Hugh Johnson Writes of Taft. "After tiis reception at Multnomah field." writes Master Johnson, "President Taft went to the Portland Hotel for lunch. In the afternoon he came out to the golf links. "We expected him to coma In an auto mobile, but h came In a special car. There was quite a crowd waiting to see . him. but very few saw him come, for Instead of getting off at the Oregon City station, where the crowd was, he got off t Eleventh street and entered the links at the Eleventh street entrance. "There waa quite a commotion among tha caddies as to who would be caddie for the President. John Junor. the cad-ule-master. bad quite a Job to select a good one, for the President waa to have the best. He finally chose Forest Lowe "When the President came out of the club house he was accompanied by Sena tor Bourne of Oregon and two others who were to play with him. He was also ac companied by two plain-clothes men who followed a short distance behind. The crowd started to follow tha players but the guards would not let them. "The President played a good game. In fact a better game than the average players of this club. His stroke are not as long as those of some of the other players, but are straight and accurate, with a fairly good distance. He plays what Is known as the chop stroke, that is, he takes up ground with every stroke. "Going to the eighth hole. It Is up hill. When that hole was made, sweat was running down his face, but he said that he had had a good game and also that this raddle was the best he had had since tie started on bis trip." Next follow an original little narra tive by a tiny maid In the sixth A grade, Edith May Schramn. Tears hence Edith can think with pride of the Jay the good President tossed her In his arms. Taft Cl&sped Edith Schramm. "Our President Is very fat." says lit tle Edith, "snd has a mustache. He has a very pleasant look on his face and Is very good-looking. "He was out at the golf links Saturday . afternoon at 3 o'clock. I was standing ty the fence and he grahhed me and . tossed me in the air. It frightened me at first but when I turned around to see who it was I had to laugh. ,. "After awhile he came out with a cap on and then walked over to get a caddie. One of the boys of the crowd Jumped and took his clubs and he started out to play. "He swung the golf club around his head three or four times then he hit the ball and It went sailing in the air. "That is all I saw of our President." Josiah Williams, aged 10, gives an al most literary dissertation on the game, with Incidental sidelights Into the con veniences on the links. Josiah William Knows Game. "Taft was at the golf links Saturday afternoon and played nine holes," writes tiny Josiah. "His caddie's name Is For est Lowe. "Taft beat them all. One of the other men got In the bunker and it cost him five strokes to get out. They were playing a fine game again. Senator Bourne was going for the fifth hole and was In tho HALF CALIFORNIA NOW RIDES Rate War Tempts Many to Travel Heney Promises to Make Newspaper Money That McCarthy Wins Election Mrs. Vanderbilt SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 9. (Special.) Some hundreds of California's citi zens are riding back and forth be tween San Francisco and Loa Angeles these daya because it Is cheaper to ride than stay at home. It's the old rate war returned to life. Once opened by the steamship companies, the smaller lines have been forced to get Into action, and there Is no telling' where It all will end. More than that, business on the Southern Pacific has been so seriously menaced that It has been published that the railroad company will do a llttlo cut ting on Its own account. If you want to go steerage, you can ride to Los Angeles in either of the biggest boats on the run for $1. Including your meals. The steam schooners have made a rate of 31.60 for first-class passengers, and the top rate Is 35. charged by the Paclflo Coast Steamship Company on either of Its new million-dollar steamers. The trouble started when Schubach & Hamilton put the St. Croix on the San Francico-Loa Angeles run. The Pacific Coast people resented this Intrusion and showed their teeth when they announced the slashing of rates, cutting 37.50 from the first-class rate. The St. Croix met this rate at once, and, although there has been no further slashing, it Is hard to say where the affair wilt end. The St. Croix people declare that.. If necessary, they can cut their rates to 31 and break even, and that they are in the fight to stay. The Pacific Coast Company has made no rash statements, but Its rate-cutting has been announce ment enough. Since the rates came down, both com panies have been hard put to accommo date passengers. leaving both ways, their steamers are loaded to the guards with human freight. The steamship of fices are crowded with people who want accommodations. It Is predicted also, that the rate slashing may extend to Se attle and Portland before It Is concluded. Heney Will War on Critic. Francis J. Heney opened his campaign for the district attorneyship last week In a bis mass meeting at Dreamland r4n1r an1 whll hie HvntH napl ir Vila time to legitin ate claims for his elec- 1 tlon, the famous prosecutor did not hesi tate to turn part of hi? attention to that part of the press of San Francisco which he does not consider has been doing the right thing by him. At times Mr. Heney grew more vehement thsn logical In his denunciations and hia boast of what he would do. Among other things, he said: "It doesn't make any difference to me whether I am elected district attorney of this town. It is to you people that it is a matter of Importance, not to me. And I want to say, too. that when I get THE FRKMDENT AS MEX ...... ,... bunker, and It cost him six strokes to get out. Going for the seventh hole, Taft made it less than par In golf. "Taft beat them seven out of the nine holes. To that will you! I'll beat you now.' he said. He came out at S:30 o'clock and at 4:30 he had to go to supper at the Portland Hotel. "Mr. Taft is a fat. Jolly man. He had some brand-new golf clubs snd a new bag. The cook told the caddie-maater that he would close the wagon gates and fool the caddies. He aald. 'Taft will not be here today, kids." The caddie-master said. 'Forest, do you want to carry?' Forest ssld, 'Who forr 'Oh. some one.' Forest said 'yes.' "He found out he had carried for Taft. He got 11 for nine holes. Johhny Will helm carried for Senator Bourne and got BOo for nine holes. "Taft said. 'Did you play a good game, Bourne? "No. not a very good one,' said Mr. Bourne." An interesting article, is that of Tom Houghton, which has a style and con viction all its oan. Tom Houghton Sees Taft. "I learn from my school studies," says Tom. "that the Chief Executive of this great Nation Is a man of dignity and ability, so on hearing that he waa coming to the Waverly Golf Links for a trial at hia favorite game, I was among the many spectators. He came to our suburb in a special car furnished him by the O. W. P. and entered the links at the rear entrance near the clubhouse. His appearance was that of a magnani mous man. 'We watched him enter the clubhouse. from which he soon emerged changed in apparel, tout wearing that famous smile, which I believe he never changes. He was quite as large as I anticipated. I believe he weighs fully 350 pounds. "From what I read about him, I think he (Ills the Presidential chair. If not I don't know who would do it better. He la not managed by Congress, and I be lieve he plays the part of peacemaker on account of his good-nature. "He plays a good game of golf, never hurries, and Is very ,steady. He and Sen ator Bourne played against Captain Butts and Mrt Hammond, defeating them. Our room at school had the honor of furnish ing the two caddies who assisted the win ners. I hope our President may visit Portland again." Another little maid. Esther Hemstock, Is original In her ideas and writes an through prosecuting these criminals I am going to make some of these lying news paper owners who are imposing on you hunt their holes. I am not going to do It for revenge and I. am not going to do It because I am angry." Mr. Herey paid his especial respects to the pwntr of -the Chronicle, and said he would sue him all in good season. Then Mr. Heney talked about the Argonaut and Its editor Alfred Holman, whom he declared he would prosecute and send to Jail. Altogether, the address was more of a harangue than anything else, but It has certainly given the people something to talk about, and very likely other speeches of a similar import will follow before Heney has done. Betting on Election. Tom COrbett, the betting commissioner, gave some, light on the coming elections, when he announced this week odds on the various fights. There Is even money that McCarthy will win the mayoralty fight against tha field. Keney and Fickert are held at even money, with Indications that Fickert will be made a favorite. . In. the three-cornered fight for Sheriff. Eggers. the Republican nominee, la first choice. On other fights there are odds also, but for the most part such fights are of a local nature. It Is generally agreed that McCarthy Is so far making a remarkable cam paign, and that if the election were to be held at the present time he would probably be elected. Dr. Lcland, the Democratic nominee, seems to have In jured his chances by lining up with Heney and the Good Government League. Little Is heard about Crocker, but his chances seem to depend upon how large a Republican vote Is rolled up at the polls next November. Hard Terms for Mrs. Sutton. The marriage of Albert Sutton, the architect, to Miss Marie Hewitt, of Taconia. will. It Is said, make no dif ference in the arrangements by which his former wife can visit their two children. By a court order, Mr. Sutton has absolute charge of the children, and their mother can visit them twice a month. She must, however, be alone, and can only see them at his home or any place that he may designate. It was only after a bitter contest that the former Mrs. Sutton was forced to consent to such an agreement. It is alleged that a sensational expose was promised had she not agreed. Some months after the divorce, tha first Mrs. Sutton married A. E. Mont gomery, of New York, a young and pre BY IJTTIK HAROLD MOORE. ' article of merit, her descriptive powers being particularly good. "President Taft and party arrived at the Golf Links. In company with Senator Bourne, about 3 o'clock on the afternoon of Saturday, October 2," writes petite Esther. They were going to have a game of golf. "The golf links are Just south of Sell wood In Clackamas County, and contain about 24 acres. "These grounds are very beautiful and lie along the east bank of the Willamette River. "The Oregon treea that surround the golf links are very pretty, all in their gorgeoua Autumn colors, yellow, red. and brown. "As the special car Tarrying President Taft arrived at the station every caddie's heart beat with Joy, thinking he might be the chosen one to carry for the Presi dent. "Forest Lowe was selected and John Wilhelm, Chester Nichols and Ronald Kerns carried for the rest of the party. ."As these boys are all good caddies, a very wise selection was made. "President Taft made a very fine score of 45 on the upper nine holes, which would be the average of five strokes to the hole. Taft won the game. "President Taft weighs about SS0 pounds. I believe he smiles when he sleeps, as he is always smiling when he is awake. "The pupils of the Sellwood school feel especially proud that they should have had such a splendid opportunity of seeing the President." . President Taft stopped Leonard . Wil liams, aged 12. to inquire If the small lad with him was his brother. But let Leonard tell the story. He does it well. "I live by the golf links and have talked to our President alone," sets forth Leonard. "The special car stopped In front of our house. I was standing near our gate when he came by. I had a hold of my nephew's hand. Mr. Taft asked me if he was my brother. But I told him he was my nephew. Then he went on. It was the first time I had spoke to a President. "I saw him In the Multnomah . Field. He spoke to the children and called them human roses, and In all his trip he never saw anything so beautiful as the drill. "When we came home we had to wait to let a train go by, and on the train was President Taft. There was a great cheer and the train went on. That is the last I saw ,of him. "We heard a whistle when he had gone. ' "He la a fat and Jolly man and he wears a silk hat Every picture of him Is alike."

When the presidents of so many universities attended the In stallation ceremonies of Harvard's new president. Dr. Abbott Lawrence Lowell. Jordan was not 'on hand to represent Stanford. The trustees named Horace Davis, a member of the board and its former chairman, to go to Cambridge, Mass., for that purpose. The antag onistic feeling of some of the trustees against Dr. Jordan makes Mr. Davis' selection all the more significant.. Tart's Cousins In California. ' President Taft's whirl through Oak land and San Francisco did not give him much time with his cousins, nieces and other kin who live here In Cali fornia. As a matter of fact, his rela tives -are rather numerous around tha bay, but until the last week none of their names has appeared In print. One cousin lives In Alameda. Two more first cousins of the President are Will iam F. and Samuel A. Wood. The for mer resides at Sausalito and the latter In San Francisco. Then there is E. II. Davenport, another cousin, residing also in this city, while still another authentic cousin is Mrs. Charles T. Blake, of Berkeley. In the Davenport family are two sons and a daughter and in the Blake family are also two sons and a daugh ter. Samuel Wood has twjo children who are -in the same class of second couslnship. so that altogether the Bay cities make quite a showing of rela tionship to the President of the United States. Los Angeles, however, can boast of a real sister of the President. Willie Vanderbilt Was Xagged. Apropos of Willie K. Vanderbilt. Jr., signing an agreement for a per manent separation, Mrs. Vanderbilt was formerly Miss Birdie Fair, of this city. She and her sister got into New York and Newport society through Herman Oelrichs. The Vanderbilts visited San Francisco once or twice before the fire and were guests at the Palace. From what friends of the couple beard and observed then, they are not surprised at the report that the husband rebelled at the nagging propensities of the wife and about her persistent and deter mined desire not to leave him out of her sight for any length of time. On one occasion, while in San Fran cisco, the couple went to the Fair building, on Montgomery street. On their way to the elevator, Vanderbilt stopped to shake hands with an at tache of the Fair. estate he knew and to ask him a question. " ie wife nro- ceeded to tho elevator and in a mo ment turned and, lifting her voice so that all in the hallway could hear, she said: "Who Is that, man who is delaying you? I'and the elevator are waiting for you." Vanderbilt promptly and meekly Joined her. OKLAHOMA BANKING LAW Its Guaranty-Fund Feature Ex plained by a Correspondent. PORTLAND. Oct. 9. (To the Editor.) The editorial in last Wednesday's Oregonlan, under the heading "Pre mium on Wildcat Banking," as well as various other articles published from time to time, presents only a one-sided view of the Oklahoma bank guaranty law. The salutary features of that law are entirely overlooked, and Inferences are drawn as to the practical working of the law that are misleading. Under the provisions of the Oklahoma law. the officers charged with lis en forcement do not wait until the bank "fails." When they discover that a bank Is reckless In Its banking meth ods, or has violated the law In any way, they take charge of the bank and Immediately pay all depositors ap plying there for funds either from the bank or from the guaranty fund provided by the law. The officers then proceed to wind up the affairs of the bank, and from the assets of the bank repay to the guaranty fund all sums used In paying the bank's depositors. This law has been in operation now for several years and the writer Is Informed that none of the guaranty fund has been permanently lost, but has been replenished by the assets of the banks which have been closed. It Is probable that the fund will not be permanently impaired by the failure which was the text of the editorial and articles mentioned. The advantages of this system to the communities in which the banks are located, and to the depositors of the closed bsnks, are so many and so ob vious that It Is unnecessary to enumer ate them. It Is only an application by the law and under the control and guaranty of the state of the system that Is adopted by the associated bank ers In all the large cities, in times of stress for their own protection. To prevent panics and "runs" on solvent institutions, they lend their aid In large amounts to their less fortunate or less conservative fellow bankers. The amounts put up by the solvent banks of the city of Chicago to try to sustain the crippled Walsh banks was far greater than the amount of the guaranty fund that will be required to pay the depositors of the closed Oklahoma bank. It is a matter of com mon knowledge that in our own city the stronger banks have repeatedly lent their assistance to weaker banks, not from philanthropic motives, but In ef forts to prevent the widespread and disastrous effects On the whole com munity of bank failures. Why should the bankers themselves object to doing by law that which In self-protection thev have been repeatedly compelled to do? It should not fail to be observed that the Oklahoma, guaranty law pro vides also for a most rigid bank in spection. Had there been such a law in this state, with Its rigid bank inspection, it would have been impossible for rot ten Institutions masquerading under the name of "banks to rob our peo ple, as recent history and court records show has been done. It is one of the best features of this law that It makes it necessary or advisable that all of the banks should be Interested to see that none of them engage in reckless or criminal methods of operation. If a bank Is so engaged, It cannot long escape the scrutiny of other banks. In the very nature of the business, knowledge of that kind must come to fellow bankers 'long be fore It does to the general public. The average small depositor Is helpless. He has not the ability or the oppor tunity to discriminate wisely between banksr and he becomes the victim of the specious advertising and promises of "wildcat" bankers. Under the guaranty system this evil is reduced to a minimum and the depositor Is ab solutely protected. All laws are for the protection of the weak and helpless. The strong can take care of themselves. It should be noted that the Oklahoma law endeavors to prevent fraud, by limiting the amount of Interest that any bank shall pay or promise to pay on deposits. The maximum allowed Is 3 per cent on daily balances and 4 per cent on time deposits. Under the Oklahoma law. when a bank is closed, the assets are admin istered by officers of the state for the benefit of the guaranty fund. All of the banks are interested to see that the assets are honestly and Judiciously administered and the utmost possible amount realized. There is no Juggling of assets or buncoing of depositors by receivers acting in the interest of others. There is no wiping out of the hard-earned savings of the poor, no paralysis of business, no panics, no "holidays." For almost a century we have been making protective laws granting favora to the few at the ex pense of the many. Is It not about time that we should have a law for the protection of the many, even though it might be at the expense of the heretofore favored few? There Is room for alfference of opin ion as to whether the guaranty fund should be raised by general taxation or, as In Oklahoma, by assessment on all of the banks of the state. But the general principle of the law Is for the "general welfare," is right, and in the end will prevail generally, notwith standing the frantic efforts of those who would create a banking trust, with a large central bank- of Issue, which would be the largest of all large trusts.

I would be much pleased and Instructed If you would explain "Filet, mlg- non letie a la Trianon," ana umc Celestlne." mentioned in your fntrpittinr article in last Sunday's most Oreponian on the menus at the Portland Hotel for president 'lari. i am permcnj io you could give your many admtrinK readers a most entertaining- exprnutmuu. With thanks for past favors, reaJly gratefully. remain, yours C. A. P. I am almost afraid to reply to such a flattering questioner, to whom the extent of my knowledge may prove disappointing-. You see I was unavoid ably absent from the meals at which the dishes mentioned were served to Mr. Taft, and I have not the chef of the Portland Hotel at hand to correct my statements. His conception of "Ome lette Celestine" and "Sauce Trianon' may be entirely different from mine; but this Is what the words represent In my experience: Omelette Celestine. Make a "puffy' omelet In the usual way, heating white and yolk separately, and add one level teaspoon powdered sugar for each egg. Small one-egg omelets are really most attractive. In any case, better not at tempt more than four eggs In one dish. unless you are a really skilled omelet maker. Cook on top or the stove until set and very slightly brown on the under side; then finish cooking the upper part In the oven, or, if well watched, under the gas broiler. What ever you do, don't let It get tough. It should be creamy in the center. Slip on to a hot dish; spread quickly with peach marmalade or crushed fresh peaches beaten to a pulp with powdered sugar. Fold, cover with whipped cream and sprinkle with blanched and chopped almonds. Chopped candied fruits are sometimes used with the peach mar malade, and a little noyau cordial in troduced In the omelet itself or in the cream. I regret to have to confess that I don't know why it Is named "Celestine." Possibly after Its Inventor; though one partaker expressed an opinion that It was so called on account of Its being (if freely indulged in) a sure route to the celestial regions. But it might not act that way with every one. Filets Mignons a la Trianon. To me this conveys the idea of chicken breast delicately browned and then slowly cooked In a casserole until tender, with mush rooms and vague hints of celery and the very faintest suspicion, of onion;, then served, when of melting tenderness, with "sauce trlanon." This sauce is made like "Hollandaise," two egg yolks; one-half cup butter, one tablespoon lemon Juice; salt to taste: a judicious dash of cayenne, and about l'i to 2 tablespoons good sherry none of your "cooking sherry," but the real thing. It is 'not as wicked aa it may sound to some people, because the alcohol is most ly driven off toy the heat. Wash the butter. Divide in three pieces. Put one piece in a double boiler with the egg yolks and seasoning. Don't let the water actually boll. Beat vigor ously and add the rest of the butter and the sherry gradually as the mixture thickens. If you overcook It, it will curdle and life will be a vale of woe. Setting! the pan in cold water and whisking with a Dover egg-beater may help to bring back the consistency; but even then, some of the delicacy of flavor Is lost. Why "Trianon?" I have been told, but cannot vouch for the absolute accuracy of the statement, that It was named from the "Grand Trianon," the little palace built fey Louis XIV for Madame de Main tenon.

I thought spaghetti for one thing, but do not know what would be suit able for sweets; and a drink that would be strictly Italian. I enclose an envelope for a reply and will appreciate very much any aug gestiona you can give me. Mrs. M. K. B. It is a little difficult to judge exactly what sort of a menu to offer, as you do not Indicate whether a luncheon or merely light refreshments will be served. For the former you might be gin. In true Italian style, with thin sliced salami sausage, ripe olives, and radishes. Then "Ministra con plselll" a nice soup or consomme with green peas, fresh or canned, spaghetti with tomato sauce and grated Parmesan cheese would be good. Or a "risotto Milanese" or "guooci," recipes for which are now to be found In most American cookbooks. If you wanted a meat dish you could serve croquettes or chicken ragout. Or' a "frittura" dainty pieces of fish or wneat coated with frying batter and friend 'In olive oil. Artichokes and rauliflqwer are both popular In Italy. The latter Is of ten seasoned with grated cheese. For sweets a "granlta," or water Ice, would be characteristic, with tiny rather rich cakes. Serve "raffe nero" black cof fee as a finale. Of course a light Italian wine (in flasks) would be most "strictly Italian"; but you would prob ably not care for that. Lemonade made with soda water "Gassosa" I think It Is called is popular among Venetian ladies. If light refreshments only are in tended, remember that "coffee and lit tle cakes are good In all languages," as a writer on Venice has said. Italians generally drink black coffee except In the morning, when "caffe latte," with hot milk. Is the rule.
