3 i uLIOE DETAIL GODSF2ESIDE0T New York Authorities Fail to Provide Escort for Him. . NEGRO PORTERS USED AS BUFFER TO CROWD Executive Party Makes It Way Waiting Car and Goen to H , V Taft's Resldeuce. to New York, Dec. 20. The president of the United States traveled through New York's streets last night without a police escort such as has been cus tomarily assigned for his protection during his visits here. Just what caused the omission of the usual pro visions to safeguard the nation's head had not been officially developed up to a late hour. . The fact remained, however, that when President Taft arrived at 6:35 o'clock at the Penn sylvania terminal on a two days' visit to this city, not . a blue-coated em ploye of the city was in sight. The presidential party was forced to m.ik Its way to a waiting automobile sepa rated from the crowd only by 10 col ored porters whom the station master had hastily pressed Into service. Unescorted, the president went to the home of his brother. Henry W. Tuft, on West Forty-eighth street. There the first sight of police offi cers detailed for duty with the par ty was had. The detachment was made up of three bicycle police men. On his former visit 10 policemen on wheels had been as- . signed to travel with him and 10 patrolmen to handle the crowd at the railway station. The three bicycle po licemen accompanied the president on his drive to the Economic club dinner at the Hotel Astor, where he was to deliver an addreRS, and later escorted him to Brooklyn to attend the New England society dinner at the Academy of Music and the Brooklyn Young Republican club dinner. I. C. Wheelr, a member of the se cret service force, made the usual re quest this morning for an escort for the prsident and It had been under stood that the customary guard would be furnished. It was stated tonight, however, that Police Commissioner , Waldo, when asked for the escort, re plied that In his opinion no greater guard was needed for, the protection of the president here than for the mayor of the city, and that no great er one would be furnished on this oc casion. He considered the president no better than the mayor, he was re ported as having declared. Police Commissioner Waldo late . last night said: "President Taft got the usual pro tection. There wre two motor cycle policemen axaigned to be with him. 'and a number of plain clothes men anil detectives were assigned to be In the station to meet him. The plain clothes men probably were not read ly recognised and that may account for the Impression that tUc president had not been given ample police protection." MR. UNDERWOOD UPHOLDS ODH GOVERNMENT SYSTEM Points to Direct Democracies' Failure in Speech in New York. measure who In order that they may accomplish one result are tempted to reach so far that .they leave a wake of destruction as to collateral , matters the measure touches? , , "If there are evils in our govern ment' an It exists today, It is not in Its organic form. .It is due to the failure of those in office to honestly, fairly and justly perforin the duties Imposed upon them. The remedy Is plain and the way is clear. . The peo ple should drive from the places of power and responsibility the unfaith ful servant and elect those, who will be faithful and true to the trust Im posed upon them. , . "You .tell me the people cannot elect honest and faithful servants. I tell you that the mosses of the people are far better judges of men than they are of meusures. and are fur more likely y select an hottest man than an honest measure. i '. " "When you say that the voter can not select a public official who will reflect the will of the people In his office, and be faithful to the constitu tion of his country, I say you reflect on the very first principle of free government and misjudge the honesty and the intelligence of the American people. "Let us elect honest men to public office, men who have the courage to stand for the true Interest of the con stitution, they represent regardless of what effect It may have dh their1 per sonal fortunes. There then will be no demand for a change of the fun damental principles of . our ' govern ment." - u . COMPLETELY ARRANGED Games Secured with Some of the Best Teams in the South. Secretary Ed. B.

Judge Corman was in the hall yesterday judging the birds and when the doors were opened this morning many Urecusboro people and visitors in the city passed' through the siiow room for un Inspection of tho fancy bred fowls. There are some birds here that are scoring high and no. little interest Is manifest by the people of Guilford county and nearby 'towns In the high class of fowls shown. Rev. Melton Clark, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Greens boro, wound up a pastorate of five years at this church Sunday. In call ing attention to the fact that he wa starting on the six year Mr. Clark rcat! some Interesting church statistics. One of the most Interesting was the one that during the tive years Mr. Clark had made more than 000 pastoral calls' or an average of more than three dally during those years. In the same length of time the member ship 'of the church has increased 32 or 50 per cent. During the live years the pastor has delivered fi0 sermons at regular times set, this not Includ ing praper meeting services and ser mons in other churches and in aiding in revials. . Ashwell Ford, a well known citizen of Guilford county, died Saturday night at his home south of Greens boro, his death being due to the In firmities of old age.

Underwood of Alabama chairman of the house committee on wuys and means, was guest of honor ut a dinner of members of the Cath olic club here last night and, as prin ciple speaker, he delivered a address declaring his opposition to movements toward a more direct form of govern ment. 'it tnere are evils In our govern ment as it exists today," ha said, "It is not In its organic form. It la du to the failure of those In office hon- estly, fairly and Justly to perform the ' duties Imposed upon them. . He pointed to the failures of direct democracies and drew the contrast between them and the successes of a representative democracy responsive to the will of a majority, but checked by the constitution from exercising brutal force which might detroy the lllierty and property right of the In dividual. . The proposal to abandon In part ,thls scheme of the revolutionary fathers, with a tendency to place the power of law-making In the hands of all the people, would place constitu tional guarantees of Individual lllierty subservient to the will of the major ity through political compulsion, he Mid. The Itoprcwntatlve at Fault. Those who urge a change, he argued, do not reflect that at times they may mlsjudgl rsl public senti ment, that the representative who acts as the Instrument of the govern ment la at fault and not the basic principle of the government Itself. "My experience as a legislator," he continued, "leads me to believe that the congress of the United States will ultimately respond to .he enlightened and matured sentiment of the peo ple." He pointed to Instances where in It had done so In railroad rate leg islation, pure food laws, campaign fund publicity, national quarantine, irrlKHtinn of the arid west and the building of the Isthmian canal. The response may not be rapid.' he suld, "but tt la probably more per manent ana tnerele certainly not linn h danger of enacting hasty.lll- itimlilereil or bad legislation.

The senate committee which Is investigating the election of Senator Lorimer yesterday adjourned to meet again on January 8. when Mr. Lorimer will take the wit ness chair and testify In his own de fense for the first time under oath.

Rrownback. a republican member of the Illinois legislature, who voted for lorimer. Urownback has told the committee that he did not know Taylor and had never spoken to him. Taylor told the committee that Brownbark told him he was ashamed to ssiy how much money he had spent to tie elected to the legislature "and that he intended to get It bark." "He told me that t would see that when a senator was elected ( Brown back t had voted for the right man and that he would get his." Taylor said Urownback had talked about changing the Judicial district In Macon rountv, Illinois, and said it "could be done for l00." Rrownback Is now- In business In Kast St. Louis. Ills., and swore before the committee last week that he would kr.ow Taylor If he aaw him. The committee will recall Brown back t confront Taylor, whose testi mony caused something of a sensation.
