This is the girl's birth day. The New, York police, trailing the couple here, picked up informa tion which led to the belief that the girl and the waiter left for Boston Sunday. ' . : At. the same time word came from Philadelphia that Robert Buist, her grandfather and guardian, has dis inherited her. Buist is the million aire seedman whose favorite Roberta wag. When he satisfied himself that the girl went with Cohen of her own j volition, t he said, -according to rtiej Philadelphia advices, "I will have nothing more to do wl'.h her. I want her father to take care of her, and I will do no more than to make her an allowance." The Philadelphia police are work ing on the theor that Miss DeJanon was urged to elope with Cohen by relatives, who hoped to share with the waiter in a big ransom.

' For several years the Simpson woman has been a terror to the people of that country community but it. seemed that it was impossible to get the evidence to convict her. Her place was known to be an im moral resort and the Wadesboro An- sonian kept constantly at the work until finally the Stanley county offic ials got husy and two warrants were issued. Then some, friend notified the woman and when : the officers went after her she could ' not be found.'- The next surprise came when one D. R. Crider, who' resides near Salisbury, and who has been a fre quenter of the place and was suspic ioned of furnishing the whiskey, ap peared before Justice W. F.

The entire community , is wrought up and de termined to get .rid of the loathsome place. ' Threats are openly made against both Crider and the woman. NEW TELEPHONE COMPANY.

B The presi dent's message was received at; the white house from the government printing office at 1 1.0 o'clock this morning. In the meantime, however, thought of some additional possible change had occurred to-the president, for he summoned Attorney General Wickersham to the white house post haste for the purpose', of conferring upon some feature, of the document, just what is not known at this time, but there is no doubt that it is most important. It was said at 11 o'clock thaC it was not known when advance copies of the message would be ready for delivery to the news associations, as it was possible it might be found necessary to send It back to the gov ernment printing office for further changes. . - . , . ' , Secretary of thJjiflterlps Balllnger visited the whiter,, heuser at half-past nine o'clock; but it w3enied that his call was in any way connected with the message. The document is to . be sent to the senate tomorrow. The delay in the issuance of ad vanced copies of the message to press associations and newspapers is -due in part to the change in the presi dent's original decision to send the messages to congress separately and to advice which he received from friends and advisers. ' The message will contain approxi mately 7,000 words. More than one- half of it will deal with the changes which the president hopes can be af fected in the Hepburn act. The re mainder will contain an outline of a law fqr the federal incorporation of concerns engaged in interstate com merce, and a treatise of the Sherman anti-trust law, with recommendations for its overhauling. The length of his opinions on both subjects caused President Taft to de cide to transmit separate messages. On Monday he announced that these would go forward on Thursday and Friday, respectively. The amount of work, apparently still needed on the railroad message, however, brought forth .the announcement yesterday morning that it could, not possibly reach congress this week. The dis semination of this news caused many of the president's friends and advis ers to send him expressions contain ing the hope that he would complete the railroad message as speedily as (Continued on Pago Two.)

' The committee is empowered to make a thorough and complete in vestigation of the administration and the conduct of the interior depart ment and the forestry service; to hold sessions during the recesB of congress or during its sessions and. to subpoena witnesses and ' require . tbe production of all papers and in formation nece'ssary.. The resolution; provides tljat aU hearings shall b ! open - to the public;-'that thereon-' W''lM"l'-,' its nndings and conclusions, '-'-j a,hT' that all persons refusing to answer questions in its hearings shall be guilty of contempt of court. : ' Senator Jones addressed the sen ate on the purpose of the resolutions. His remarks were chiefly a laudation, of defense of the secretary of the interior. He said in part: "The press and magazines of the country for several months have been filled with charges against the secre tary of the interior and his conduct of his office. These charges range from petty insinuations and innuenr does to direct charges of malfeasance and misconduct in office which, If true, show that he has most un worthily discharged his trust. A moment's thought should cause an honest and fair-minded man to hesi tate to accept such charges against a man whose life heretofore has been one of the highest rectitude and against whom no dishonorable charge has ever been made in either private or public life. "This resolution has been drawn directing the committee to investi gate along certain and specific lines and authority given it to make any further investigation it may deem desirable. The intention is to Se cure Hie broadest and most thorough investigation. If the resolution can be made broader and more rigid, and a more thorough investigation se cured it should be done and 'will be welcomed by the secretary. He wants no whitewash; he wants no partial investigation; he wants it rigid, thorough, complete, and con ducted without fear or favor. It is believed that this resolution wllli accomplish this purpose. It is not introduced in an unfriendly spirit to any one but simply in the Interest of honesty, decency and good govern ment." ; THE COPPER KING AGAIN IN COURT ( By Leased Wire to The Times. ) New York, Jan. 5 F.
