Arrange- ments, Etc St Louis, Oct. 25. "WJien President Taft left here at 5 o'clock this after noon, after a strenuous day of speech- making, dining and. riding, he embark ed upon a river trip of nearly 1,300 miles ' Following . the government Bteacner Oleander, on whose upper deck the President stood, acknowledg lng the thunderous farewells of the crowds on the levees and bridges came ten river packets catrylrig three , cabinet ' officers, 33 Governors, repre sentatives of eight South and Central American ' governments, at Washing ton 20 United States Senators, nearlv 20 members of Congress and officials of every State on both sides of the river, besides hundreds of delegates from commercial bodies, bound for the convention . of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterways Association, at New Orleans. , The flotilla was preceded down the river by the second division of the Atlantic torpedo boat flotilla of the United States Navy. This squadrqn,' consisting of the destroyer MacdQn ough and the torpedo beats Wilkes, Thornton and Tingey, is charged with the duty of preparing for the proper reception of the President at each of the eight cities, where stops will ,bs made before New Orleans is reached next Saturday morning, The squad ron is under the command of Lieut Willis G. Mitchell, and , has been in St Louis since the celebration of this city's centennial -early In October. The naval -vessels aim to keep well ahead of the presidential fleet so that the smoke from their funnels will not obstruct the view of the deep water way delegates and the Government of ficials whom they seek to convert to the project of deepening the river. For similar reasons, a considerable distance was: kept between the boats of the presidential flotilla. Strenuous rules were announced to the pilots and commanders of the craft before their departure, and every, effort has been made to prevent either the grounding of any of the boats or the more dread ed possibility of a collision. The details of the journey have been worked. out under the supervis ion of B. H. Tillman, master of the Oleander. - In the upper reaches of the river, a speed of less than 12 miles an hour is to be made. After the mouth of the Ohio has been passed, however, the ' vessels will be asked to show a better pace and, in places, travel 15 miles an hour. The flotilla was organized to "boost" the cause of deep waterways. This is the frank declaration of the officers of the association, Its president, W. K. Kavanaugh, saying: "This personally conducted journey of President Taft down the Mississippi Tiver is being made to call the per sonal attention of the president of the United States, members of Congress, army .engineers and levee engineers of . the various interested States, to the commercial necessity and possibilities of deepening the river.. 'Federal co operation' is wanted -, by the States, and we hope to see a.river and harbor bill passed- at the next session of Con gress carrying an appropriation suffi cient to put the deep waterway on a continuing basis, like the Panama Ca nal. . - The order of the procession of boats la to be changed from day to day, to meet the exigencies of the programm mapped out by committees at the cit ies to be visited by the President be tween here and New Orleans. Then, too, there are to be various functions aboard the boats, -which the President Is expected to attend. .The first Qf these waa scheduled for tonight, when he took dinner on the steamer St Paul with the Governors and newspaper men. The affair wa3 arranged by - the Business Men's League of St Louis. Another dinner, with the President as chief guest, will occur aboard the steamer Quincy on the night of Octo ber 27th, after the" flotilla has left Helena, Ark. The Congressmen and President are to be the guests of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterways As sociation on that occasion. Provision has also been made for dispatch boats and launches to facili tate viisting between the vessels of the fleet. - INVESTIGATION OF PELLAGRA. By Government . Through Officers of - Army and Publie Health Service; Washington, Oct 23.-An investiga tion of 'pellagra which has developed tnoet rapidly in the South recently, will shortly be made by officers of the Public Health and Marine Service and of the Army. ; Captains Joseph F. Sl ier andr Henry J. Nicholas, of the Medical Corps-of the Army, have al ready beeiv selected for this work. A meeting of the "investigating commit tee, will take place at Columbia, S. C, November. 13th. The Secretary . of the Treasury In his last annual report invited atten tion to the probable public importance of pellagra and ' recommended ' unre mitting; stndy - of every phase of the problem of- the disease. - Surgeon General Wymanof the Public Health and Marlne Hospital Service, some time ago; announced, that pellagra had been a menace -to the health of Italr . for more than 100 years. - -It .was first reported in this country . from Alabama inr! 1907 and the health authorities now estimate the number of cases In the United . States at overt 5,000. vTae - Surgeon General reported that there was a universal and pro found tfonviction-that the disease ,was in some way related to the cdnsump tion of musty corn and that on ac count of the great severity and hteh mortality of pellagra ' and of Its ex- pectecL relationship to corn It was rap idly becoming , a matter of national health and economic importance.

Wild West and Far East Will Not Give Street Pageant. - For many reasons the management of Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Paw nee Bill's ; Far East has ; decided to abandon the street parade which has in years past, been'the usual thing with traveling organizations of this size and character. - It is set forth in many instances the late arrival of the trains bearing the paraphernalia makes it possible to give a parade and start the afternoon performance on time. Through these delays the public is compelled to experience a tedious wait while the work of pre paring for the performance .goes on, Again, it is considered an unneces sary hardship' to compel men and horses to parade for two hours before beginning the afternoon, exhibition, es oeciallv when iti'is considered that two shows every t day are the rule with this exhibition. By doing away with the street pageant men and horses' are fresh for- their performance which it. pays for, rather than to a free street parade which gives, .at best, but a poor Idea of the magnitude of the exhibition. Another reason which has served to'influence the decision is the fact that merchants in the cities visited object to parades because they interrupt, business and interfere with general traffic, In any event the man agement is satisfied that the public prefer an afternoon performance given with snan "and vigor, displaying the best efforts of the participants, rather than to have their entertainment in terfered ,with through the fatigue Of the participants after, two or three hours of street parading In all sorts of weather.. The public is reminded, however, that in moving the proper ties and paraphernalia of the exhibi tion from the railroad to the grounds will, in itself, constitute a parade of greater interest and vastly more novel than any other organization can offer. The engine and cars used in, The Great Train Hold-Up" will be acconv panied" through the street by a mount ed escort and the sight will be one which has never been, seen in this or any other country save in conjunction with this exhibition. ,The Indians and ROughriders will, ride their horses to the grounds and the sight will be an ample reward for the elimination of the hackneyed parade or otner days. Incidentally it may be mentioned that when weather permits Col. Cody will take a drive through the principal streets to convince the public the old scout is still In the harness, ready to appear, as he positively will, at every performance. , MAY PROSECUTE COMPANY. Attorney General of South Carolina Looking Intp Question. Columbia, S. C, Oct. 23. Attorney General Lyon Is gathering affidavits n support of the prosecution .he will bring against the Standard Oil Com pany m oenair or the .people s uu Company of Norths Augusta, which has branch business in Columbia, Charleston, Greenville, Spanrtanburg, Anderson, Denmarck and Edgefield, in South Carolina and Atlanta in Geor gia, under the new statute passed by the last. Legislature forbidding- dis- crlminatipn by charging . different prices in different communities for the same commodity. : . It is alleged the Standard has cut prices in a number of South Carolina towns to run out the People's Company whose proprietor is H. . C. Boardman, who was for 25 years manager for the Standard, at Augusta. The maxi mum penalty is $5,000. Since the People's concern was es tablished in Columbia last ; March, under the management of Mr. Board man's brother, R. H. Boardman, the Standard has cut the price twice, from 11 1-2 cents to 10 cents and a week ago to 9 1-2 cents. In Charleston the price has been cut from 11 cents t3 cents. - ' ' ..' : ' . It is alleged that 'the Standard is selling where it has no competition, in Darlington at 11 cents, In Orange burg at 11 cents, In St, George at 2 1-2 cents, Kmgstree 11 cents, Barn well 10 1-2 cents, m Florence, Camden and SummervIIle at 11 cents. Manager Boardman of the " local branch of the People's Oil Company says he cannot follow another cut of the Standard's. Every-cut the Stand ard has made, however, has brought his company an increase In business. . JEFFRIES ANb JOHNSON Arrangements Peing Made for Bout Between the Fighters, . New York, Oct. 25.
