TAFT GlflilSY TEXAS GREETING Voice Almost Breaks Down, but He Shouts Thanks to Dallas Crowd. SPECTATOR IS BAYONETED Fatal Accident Mars Visit to Pallos. President Commends Improve ment of River, Postal Savings Banks. DALLAS. Tex, O-.L 2S. President Taft arrived her. from Houston at 6:30 o'clock tbi afternoon. He was taken Immediately to the Slate Fair grounds, where he spoke. , t . Mr Tuft was ao hoarse that he could be heard only a short distance, despite heroic efforts. He spoke briefly toniRht at a banquet tendered him at the Ori ental Hotel, and returned to his train preparatory to leaving early to morrow morning for St. Louis. From St. Ixjuls on Monday afternoon the President will begin a pilgrimage of four davs and Ave nights down the Mississippi River to New Orleans. Rest Makes Voice Husky. The President's voice began to grow husky after his speech at Corpus Christl yesterday, and broke down almost com pletely during his address at Houston this morning, when he tried to make himself heard by a crowd which filled four Intersecting streets for two blocks In either direction. According to Dr. Richardson, the Presidents physician, the hoarseness Is due In large part to the let up la speechmaklng. which came during the President's visit to his brother's ranch, and he predicted that the vocal cords will round to in a day or so. Up to this time the President's voice has kept in splendid shape. On account of hoarseness, the Presi dent did not attempt to make a long speech either at the Fair Grounds or the banquet, and confined himself In each instance to an expression of his appreciation for his welcome. Speeches From End of Car. -I was asked today," said the Presi dent at the Fair Grounds. "If 1 had any. doubt by this time about Texas being a part of the Union. I replied that the only doubt I had was whether the Union was not a part f Texas." On his way from Houston today, the President traveled in the most popu lous section of the state, and the suc cession of prosperous-looking towns and cities was In striking contrast to the long stretches of barren cactus and mesqulte brush plains in the West. At each station through which the train passed there was a large crowd to cheer the President. He made several brief car-end talks, and at those places where no stop was scheduled he ap peared on the platform to wave a re sponse to the cheers sent up In his honor. At Hempstead the President spoke to several hundred pupils of the Prairie View Colored State Normal School, and at College station addressed the students from the Agricultural and Mechanical College, who were drawn up In uniforms. Man Bayoneted In Crowd. An unfortunate Incident of the Presi dent's visit to Dallas was the bayonet ing of Deputy County Clerk Louts Relchtenstein by one of the military guard at the fair grounds. Relchten stein Is said to be fatally injured. He waa operated on tonight at St. Paul's sanitarium, and It was said he could not live. The stabbing oocurred Just before the President's train arrived at the fair grounds, and It la presumed that Relch tenstein was trying to force a way through the crowd, although it Is said he was behind a wire cable holding the crowd back when the soldier used his bayonet. The matter Is In the hands of the authorities. Sergeant J. D. Mailer, of Company E, Third Regiment, Texas National Guard, of Dallas, was arrested tonight and held without ball on the charge of having bayoneted Relchtenstein. The President during his stay In Texas has learned much -of the rivalry among the cities of Dallas, San Antonio and Houston as to which Is really the largest and most Important city in the state, and be has had quite a little fun in discussing the question In the three cities mentioned. At the fair grounds this afternoon the President spoke about this rivalry. Rival Cities of Texas. "I spoke of it in Houston this morn ing." he said, "and it seemed to arouse a keen Interest there. I found a similar spirit and feeling In San Antonio, and I venture to say that It was wise In each city to suggest the subject and not reach a definite conclusion. "That spirit of determination on the. part of the citizens of Dallas that Dal las is bound to be the largest city In the state; that same determination In Houston and In San Antonio, rs sure to result In making one or the other the biggest and In making all important in the development of this enormous state. "It seems to me I have traveled a mil lion miles In Texas, and. although you have had a withering drought here. I do not find any kicking or dissatisfac tion, bat In its plaoe a determination not to sorrow over anything that la past, but to make the next erop the biggest In the history of the state." Shouts Above Tumult. The crowd In the grandstand was restless and noisy. These In the more remote seotions of the structure were endeavoring constantly to get a better view of the President, and this resulted In continuous confusion, noise and shouts from those whose view had bean obstructed. "I ought to have a voice like a steam whistle," said the President, "to make myself heard. I have a very bad voice, but In order to express my appreciation of the expansiveness of Texas and of the welcome I have received wherever I have gone and the cordiality of your re ception. I should strain every nerve and muscle of my body." The President had discussed postal sav ings banks again in several recent speeches, and again expressed the hope that the banking Interests will withdraw their objections to the bill. He declares that Government Institutions paying X per cent would interfere In no way with the great -savinfrs banks paying 1 and 4 pr cent. At Bevllle, Texas, while the President was discussing postal savings banks there came a voice from the crowd: "Where do you put your money. Bin?" "Well," laughed the President In re sponse, "i haven't much to put any where. When you have bean In politics and public office as long as I have, you won't have much either." To the students of the Agricultural Me chanical College today, the President said: "We bare taken long steps ahead In the matter of education and especially : under stats auspices. In teaching the young men something that Is useful for them In after life, so that they can begin right away. To those who have time to indulge in ,a classical education. It Is all right, but there are many of us not so situated and many of us will learn well to accept the opportunity to go into engineering. Into farming, into those things that we are going to do all the time. Now that is what you are doing, and I am sure you are Improving every minute. If you are engaged In farming, you don't have to go far to try It. I have been through your state during the last week and If you will put the new processes with respect to Irrigation and reclamation into force, you will make a state that will be so big you won't know what to do with it." To the colored students of the Prairie View School the President said: , "I congratulate you on the opportuni ties for useful education which you are receiving under the auspices of the State of Texas and I congratulate the state that It makes no distinction In furnishing those educational facilities to aU its cit izens." Formal notification of his election to honorary membership In the Dallas Press Club was given President Taft this evening. Secretary of War Dickinson left here for Nashville tonight In response to a message calling him there on Im portant business. The Secretary said he would rejoin the President's party at Memphis. October 17. and expects to make the remainder of the trip with the President. DESERT WANDERERS GET FOOD AXD DRINK AT RAXCH.

The two monarchs embraced and then proceeded to the royal castle, where Queen Helena, the dowager Duchess of Genoa and also the Princess Letitia, surrounded by the ladles In waiting, received the Emperor, and kissed their bands. Army Guards Railroad. At the King's dinner this evening, at which covers were laid for 86, the Em peror expressed his warmest apprecia tion of the reception. A special com mission of generals met the Emperor on the Italian frontier, and on the way to Racconlgl the imperial train passed through a double line of 23.000 men, who guarded the tracks. Four thousand troops were massed along the short road leading from the station to the castle. Everywhere the royal gues was re ceived with enthusiasm. He looked the picture of health and seemed ' thoroughly to enjoy the cheers that greeted his ar rival. His welcome by the King was ex ceedingly warm and he responded with a similar show of affection. Socialist Will Protest' Not the slightest unpleasantness has occurred to mar the Emperor's visit, but considerable anxiety is felt because of the arrival here of the Socialist Deputy, Sign or Mongari, the originator of ths campaign against the Emperor of Rus sia. Because Bignor Morgarl is a mem ber of the Chamber, the police were un able to keep him out of the city. In an interview this evening, however, the So cialist leader eald that he would avoid provoking disorders, but that he Intended to deliver the speech of protest against the visit at a private meeting here. He will also speak at a meeting to be held at Turin tomorrow. Threatened d em one t rati one had been sternly suppressed, but the day's rejoic ing was spontaneous and genuine, even the Mayor of Rome having been sent by a Radical and Socialist Board of Alder men to participate in the Imperial recep tion. Crowds Cheer Ruler. From early dawn the scene In this city waa animated, as crowds gathered In the streets. The strict measures to preserve order, adopted by the police and military, did not serve to dampen the ardor of the populace. The whole city was decorated with flags and bunting, while the house holders along the route to the palare had spread carpets before their doors and filled their windows with brocades and bright-colored streamers. Triumphal arches stretched across the path traversed by the Emperor. ' This morning the Mayor posted a mani festo exhorting the citizens to give the Emperor a greeting that would show their appreciation of the great event, and ex press Italian gratitude for the aid the Russian sailors gave at the time of the earthquake in Southern Italy.

Not an Inch of the tunnel but was examined, and it was lined with soldiers who could al most touch hands.. Troops Guard Stations. Every station on the railroad line was occupied by the military, and each coach of ths trains on the line leading to Rac conlgl carried a police guard. On the Italian frontier the Emperor was met by a special company sent by King Victor Emmanuel, by Adjutant-General Prince Dolgorouki, Russian Ambassador to Italy, and the staff of the Russian Em bassy. At the appearance of the Em peror's train the troops, drawn up beside the track, presented arms and their bands played the Russian national an them. Throughout the Mont Cenia Rail way line the Emperor's progress held the character of a triumphal march. The troops prevented crowds from the Tillages that line the route from ap proaching the railway. This restriction, however, served only to"" stimulate the curiosity of ths people, who gathered at the rear of the soldiers climbed Into tree tops or upon the cliffs wherever a view of the passing train was to be had, and, as the train passed, waved their hats and handkerchiefs, shouting, "Long live Russia," and "Long live the Emperor."

Here the ministers and other government dignitaries were, presented to his majesty, following which ceremony the sovereigns emerged from the station and entered a carriage.
