Saturday and Sunday In Strenuous Program and is Tired Ont at Seeing tha Sights and En joying His Glad Beception. New Orleans, Special. -President Taft arrived in New Orleans Satur day to renew old acquaintances and to enjoy two days pf the hospitality which he declared a few days ago he both 'longed for and feared." From the moment of his arrival at 12:30 p. m., on the lighthouse tender Olean der, which led a long trailing fleet of river packets into port, the President was kept on the go until past mid night Saturday night. He ended bis river trip with an ad dress before the waterways conven tion in tbe afternoon in which he re iterated what he said before, that he favors the issuance of bonds to carry forward every deep . waterway pro ject which shall be approved by a competent board of engineers as prac ticable and can be shown to be neces sary to take care of the growing com merce of the sections. This address concluded, tbe Presi dent became the guest of the city. He lunched with Archbishop Blenk at the latter 's palace, attended two foot ball games, had a dinner given in his honor at the Pickwick Club Saturday night and went direct from there to a gala performance of "Les Hugenots" at the French opera house. A little supper at a famous French restau rant after the opera brought the Chief Executive's busy day to a close. He thoroughly enjoyed his four and a half nights and five days on the Mississippi river. And, although he has learned much of the difficulty that must be encountered in attempting to control that powerful waterway, he seemed Saturday to be just as enthu siastic as ever in the belief that the Mississippi can be made to recognize a channel deep enough to handle all of the commerce that can be assigned to it. President Taft went to bed on his train Sunday night h thoroughly tired, man. His New Orleans friends keat him on the go .nearly all day. Jong.

This day of strenuousness, following the activities and entertainments of Saturday, which did not end until 3 oJclock Sunday morning when supper after the opera was concluded brought the President's stay in New Orleans to a close. His train left before daylight for Jackson, Miss., where he spent all day Monday. The President was so tired when he got back to his hotel at 6 o'clock Sunday night that he declined all invitations for dinner and had the meal served in his apartments with Secretary of War Dickinson as a cuest. The drive through the old French section of the city was immensely interesting to the President and he vetoed any suggestion of its curtail ment. The ride followed the President's attendance at the morning services of the Unitarian church, where he heard a sermon on "The Interpretation of Life," by Rev. H. Elmer Gilchrist. The President was accompanied through the quarter by Prof. Alcee Fortier of the Louisiana Historical Society, who pointed out the succeed ing places of interest. The route was first through the old Rue Royal and thence to Jackson square, which for merly was the place d'Armes and is - ... n , 1 . . . surrounded by some nne oia types oj. French architecture. From Jackson sqnare the party went to the old slave mart, to the old St. Louis Catholic cathedral' and then began a jonrney through Esplansade avenne and en virona. Here the President's interest was centered for a time upon the ruins of the old Spanish barracks. It was at' this point of the journey that Professor Fortier suggested that th committee had : not allowed 'time enough to go further and the PresU dent said be did not care bow Jong the ride required, for bis interest in old New Orleans was greater t nan in any other feature of the day and he dil not wish to hurry...- -.
