(By AssnruUed Press.)
WASHINGTON. June 8. Senate
and house leaders who are directing
the course of the tariff bill and who
will bo members of tho conference
on the bill after It has passed the
senate took measures today to as
certain whether there was any foun
dation for reports that President Taft
would veto the bill.
They have reached the conclusion
that there is no baais whatever for
such reports.
As late his evening the president
told one of -the republican leaders
that no one had the authority to sug
gest that be had In mind the veto or
the tariff measure.
It was learned today upon the high
est authority that President Taft had
not read the Chicago speech of Sec
retary of tho Treasury MacVeagh be
fore the secretary left Washington for
Chicago and that the president was
not aware of the character of the
speech to be ma. This docs not
mean that the president finds fault
with Mr. MacVeagh's utterances, but
merely answers the report that It was
an official view of the tariff situation
and that It expressed Mr. Taft's opin
ion. Republican leaders' were inclined to
assign to political Inexperience Secre
tary MacVeagh's failure to consider
that any speech delivered by him
likely would "be taken as the view of
the administration. Many of the lead
ers point to the fact that the soeech
was delivered to an audience hlch
sympathized with democrats ffr re
Walon downward but at thLaJfie time
they assert that a carefful reading of
the speech would indlcat that it had
been misconstrued in many quarter,-

MEMPHIS, Tenn., June 8 From
songs of war, from tap of drum and
shrill scream of flfo, from . martial
uniforms and accoutrements of bat
tle, the scene In Memphis changed
this afternoon at the Confederate re
union , to dainty femininity In Paris
gowns and flowers.
The beautiful flower parade was

ish equipages, decorated with the most
exquisite blossoms of the Southland
and carrying the flower and beauty
of Southern womanhood, passed slow
ly through tho city fctreets for nearly
three hours. Every Imaginable de
sign was carried out. Every possible

at the side of each carriage rode two
or more society men, wearing the col
ors of the ladles, whoBe escorts they
were. Interspersed In the line were
twenty bands of music.

THOMAHVILLE. N. C, June .
No clue has yet been obtained to the
whereabouts of Albert Moore, the ne
gro who last Saturday attacked J. C.
and Hubbard Everhart, farmers, with
a shotgun. Fears are entertained for
his safety if he Is caught.
Saturday afternoon about four
miles south of this place Mr. J. c.
Everhart, while, and Albert Moore,
colored, got Into a dispute about a
trade made between them some time
previous. Words followed and Moore
threw a rock and hit Everhart. Ever
hart caught Moore and gave him a
good choking, telling him to go away,
which he did. Moore came to town
and bought a box of loaded shells
and went back hme, got his gun,
1 ailed it and went back to see Ever
hart. who was at work In a field with
his brother, Hubbard Everhart. Moor
spoke a few words to J. C. Everhart
and then told him he was going to
shoot him. He cocked and aimed his
gun and Everhart turned and ran for
the woods. Just as he reached the
woods Moore firod, but missed,- then
fired again, and one shot hit Everhart
In the neck. Moore then turned on
Hubbard Everhart and told him he
would give him two minutes to get
on his horse and get away. How
ever, Everhart didn't need but about
ten seconds he sklddooed In a hur
ry. After this Moore took to the
woods and at this writing has not been
caught.
No one can account for the strange
actions of Moore, for he has always
been considered a harmless, peace
able old negro. He recently suffered
a stroke of paralysis and Is badly
crippled In one side. Mr. J. C. Ever
hart Is out at work and snffered very
little from, the one shot which bit
him.
