11 TAFT Oil THE BSIPP
Left St. Loula Yesterday Afternoon
for Hit River Trip f Nearfy 1,200
M : Mile8--Th! 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. V

NO STREET PARADE.
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. .
