The applause ifit a big start when Mr I CUflln said: I "Our tlrst toast is to a wise expounder and stanch defender of the Constltu- 1 tlon. Let us drink to the 1'resldent of the I'nlted States." Tho toast was drunk standing.

"the man who forty to fifty years afro made the. chamber of Commerce." Senator Root said In part: I hare been thinking passing beyond arid h'hnd nil the issue that e have been clls "inins, whether underlying (hern all we tr answer in the affirmative or the nega " a crucial quextlori, and that I thl.

The Senator said that although It was true that Americans have, the conrage and Independence necessary to a aelf ifoverntntf people, that was not enough. Self-governing people." he said, "makes men self-controlled, which mekes every man competent and willing to rovern his Impulses by the rule of declared principle." He would not say that the people had one backward In that respect, but he Relieved that tho time had coino, for erlous reflection. He continued: lur life has become so complicated, the activities of our country so numerous and 'n vast that It la very difficult for us to "nderatand each other The wheat farm ers understand each other, tho importers understand each other, the baukHi-s under stand each other, hutltliere are vast masses of the neonle of our country who totally nlaiimlerstiind other gieat masse of our ! people I here aie hundreds of thousands of people outside the great Industrial com munities who think you urea den of Ihleves, 'here are hundreds of thousands of people "ho (hint that Ihe manufacturers of the '"'inlry are a set of confidence men, ' IVhv, we have before us now great and erlous questions regarding the financial tirnhlems of the rountry, and Ibis Is what tands In the way of their solution.

Coming to his plea for arbitration of the r.umina Canal tolls m.itter Senator Hoot said that another great essential to the spirit of self-government was Justice.

NO COMMENT FROM TAFT. He Iteeently Snarneited That Con ares Provide for Kx-Prpslilrnts. Wishinoton. Nov. 21. President Taft declined to-night to comment upon the plan of the Carnegie Foundation to grant an annual pension of $2.,0.00 to ex-Presidents of the I'nlted States. The President received his tlrst In formation of the plan from newspaper men who called at the White House. In reply to a note sent to the library, where the President wns spending the evening with his family. Mr. Taft sent word that on account of the unusual character of the plan he would decline at present to discuss It. Since Congress Increased the salary o the President on July 1, 19u?, from $."0,000 to $7.",000 a year there has been no complaint about the compensation paid to the Chief Fxccutlve. In addi tion Congress provides appropriations for many other White House e.xr,ienscs. P also allows the President $25,000 .1 year for travelling. President Taft said 111 a speech he fore tho Lotos Club In Tew York last Saturday thnt the salary was sufficient providing no attempt was made to save money. He broadly hinted that It might b- wise for Congress to provide for the nwilntenanceMif ex-Presidents. In that speech Mr. Taft said: "I consider that the President of tlm I'nlted States Is well paid. The salary by no means measures the contribu tions to his means of living, which the generosity of Congress has afforded, and unless It Is the policy of Congress to en able, him In his four yenr.c to save money enough to live In adequate dlg nl' and comfort thereafter then the salary Is all that It oiiuht to be." 1 nt 1 1 President T.rft has recel . ej f. tidal Information from tlm directors of i he i orporHtlon concerning the pto posd pension lu will make no public statement. Tho proiisltlon wns so un expected nnd novel that none of Mr. Tnffs close friends nnd iithbers would comment to-night upon hi" probable action. one of the President's friend pointed out. howew-r, thut when Mr. Tuft re. rurin to the practice of law after .Mai.h t. nex. be will find hlm-elf griMtlv einb.irrnssid by several circum stances. He will be unnble to iippcir In the Supreme Conn of the I'nlte,! Su.es in hehalf of a client because o.' the fact that he has appointed a ma jority of the present membets of the Su preme bench. He has also made mnn appointments to the Federal b-n li In ( ihlo. lu which Slate he Intends t.i practise. lie would probably nlo de i line to accept any legal business In which he would be expected to appear against the rnltcd Slides Government. President T.i't Is ii man of moderate means. I'pon the payment of his last tn assessment In Cincinnati several months ago his personal fortune amounted to only about $80,000, Since h hns been In public ofllce his campaign expenses both In 1908 and In the recent campaign were financed In large part by his brother C. P. Taft of Cincinnati and Intimate personal friends. During his tenure of olllce he has lived frugally and the White House social functions, although becoming lu character, lime never been marked by extravagance. Mr. Taft's fondness for travel 1ms been his principal diversion. Much of this expense hns been met by the ap propriation of $i."i,000 provided by Con gress slnco thu beginning of this Ad ministration. CRITICISED IN WASHINGTON. ClarL. (Jure anil some of Tnft' l'rlencls It ear nt Carnrair I'lnn. WAsniNnTO.v, Nov. 21 - Indications to-night were that the Carnegie plan would' bo severely criticised by mem hers of Congress and ofllclals In Wash ington, hjevernl Influential members of Congress received the news of tho Car. negle proposition with indignation and declared that on Its face It seemed pre surnpuous on the part of Mr. Carnegie, . Some of President Taft's close frlend.i even resented the Idea of a private citizen providing a pension which they contended should come only from the Government. Champ Clark said the proposal wus not worth the expression of an opinion, Senator Core of Oklahoma, nnother Democrat, nlso looked with disfavor upon the offer. A number of well known Incidents were recalled In Washington to-night lllustrntlng the dlfllcultlc which Presi dents of tho United Slates huvo had af ter leaving office. Qrovep Cleveland, for Instance, left tho White House with estlmnted wealth of about $100,000 or $150,000. Ho wns out of pocket as far as his salary as President went, but he had accumulated n little money through real estate Investments lu Washington. After settling nt Prince ton ho took to writing magazine ar ticles occasionally, became a lecturer In Princeton University, but Anally was obliged to accept a 'retainer of $.10,000 a yenr from three big life Insurance companies to net as arbitrator In cer tain disputes. The acceptance by Mr. Cleveland of this life Insurnnco post led tn a ifood deal of criticism. Ex-Prestdent Tlcnjnmin Harrison had more unpleasant experiences even lhan Qrovsr Cleveland. When he left lira 22, 1912. White Houe ho was worth only about $2.",000. He went back to Indianapolis to practise law. The .first case that he had came to him through Philander C. Knox, now Secretary of State, Mr. Har rison represented the utroet railway of Inrilnnnpolls In n case against the city and' received n retainer of $25,000. The nppenrance of the ex-Prestdent against Ihe municipality led to bitter criticism. Later Mr. Harrison received a retainer of $100,000 In the Venezuelan arbitra tion cases, nnd for this also he wns se verely condemned by many citizens. President Taft In deciding to resume the practice of law In Cincinnati has had all of the unpleasant experiences of his predecessors In mind and had made up his mind to nttempt to do only enough buslnev to make him a com fortnble living.' His Idea has been to net alonn as Jurisconsult without as suming the burden and distractions of general practice. The only living widows of ex-Prcsi-dents nro Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Harri son and Mrs, Hayes. The uncomfortable clrcumetnnces of some widows of I'nlted Btnteei Presi dents hns been notorious. Mrs. Lin coln nt one time was in most depress ing financial circumstances nnd was obliged tn write to Congress asking for a pension. ACCUSES WOMAN OF ROBBERY. Waller K.

Carman, 24 years old, of 611 West lSlst street, an, emplojce of his uncle, Thomas Martin, a broker nt 3i Wall street, ran Into tho West 100th street police station nt 3 o'clock yester day morning and said that he hnd been robbed In lho apartment of Mrs. Mubelle Presjnn Curtis, at 2S0 West 10-lth street. Carman said sho had taken $o(t worth of Jewelry from him. Detectives Ollklusnn and Wilbur went to the npartment nnd when Mrs. Curtis refused to allow them to enter Wilbur hauled Utlklnsim up on tho dumb waiter. Mrs. Curtis said she was mar lied to Carman and gave her age as 45. Two weeks ago, Carman said In the West Side court, while he was under the influence of something he , had drunk at Mrs. Curtls's request, he went with her to tho City Hall and took out u marrlnge. license. Then she told him that she had been married four times nnd that two of her husbands were now living In the city nnd divorce proceed ings were now pending for separation from .i third. Carman said that Mrs, Curtis sent for him Wednesday night and that on his arrival at her apartment he found two men, one of them a Mr. Moulton, whom he had met before. Mrs. Curtis, he said, attacked him. grabbing his watch and cuff buttons, while the men lnughed nt him. Then she locked hlrn In another room for three hours, until his con tinued shouting provoked the two men Into throwing him down stairs. CROWD SEES TAR WAGON BURN.

Important witnesses were called by the defence In the afternoon. One of these waa the "foreigner" whoso surprising testimony had been hinted nt by Mrs. Oibson. This witness, Harry C. Laux. n German, employment to Church street, Xe'.v York, as an electrical engineor, said that, from a distance of 600 feet ho saw Gibson and his companion, standing in fho boat several fee, apart, plunge into the lukc. "1 saw Gibson twice that afternoon while rowing." Lau.x testified. "The sec ond time I wan opposite Storm Island. I looked up to see him and tho woman standing. They were four or five feet airt and went into the water at the same time. I did not think an accident had happened and continued rowing away from their boat." "Did thv touch each other?" "No." In cross-examining Laux Mr. Wasser vogel emphasized the fact that Laux had discussed Gibson's case with one of tho accused's legal associates. "Just how did the incident impress you?" Laux was asked. "It looked to me as if they had jumped into the water." Wasservogel inquired fully inlo the cir cumstances of Laux's visit to Greenwood nnd was told that the witness went there with a woman to row on the lake. Laux by his testimony fulfilled one of the promise" in Lawyer Goldiier's outline of what the defence hopes to do before resting to-morrow afternoon. "We shall divide our defence." said Gold::ier. "into two parts, the first dealing with non-medical evidence, the second with the medical testimony produced by the probecution. We will show that it. is impossible from an autopsy held more than fifty days after the,woman died to determine conclusively that she met death by strangulation. She may have died from many causes. "Wm shall produco witnesses torectify uud in part to contradict statements by witnesses who have already testified. Our witnesses saw what happened on July 10. not from greut distances, but from within a few hundred feet. Our witnesses are not subsidized by n foreign Govern ment. They nredisinlerested str.ingersto Gibsou. "Wn shall produce wilne-ses to whom Mrs. S7abo introduced I'etronella Men schik ns her mother after the time as alleged by the prosecution of the death of a Petronella Menschik in Austria. Thus the claim of the prosecution of n deep laid scheme on tho part of Ihe defendant to obtain Mrs. Saibo's property after getting her to will it. as alleged, to a mother lie knew to he dead, bus no founda tion. "We Muill move that the woman's deatli was not n murder, but an accident, Mich us occurs on treacheious Greenwood Kike hummer after summer. We sliull show that lief ore the IkmIv had been handled or mishandled the tongue of tho woman wns visible at the front of her mouth, a condition incompatible with strangulation, according to Dr. King. "In the medical part of our case we shall prove that four causes might hax'e produced tho situation found in the throat at the autopsy: First, the force or the gates of ilecompo.sitiou, which might have pushed the organs into their c-on- f test eel position; second, the post mortem landlingof the body, as well as the effect of embalming fluid, which contracts the organs: third, the swelling and shorten ing of the membranes from the absorption of water, and finally the spasmodic action of the throat organs at drowning," While Goldzier was speaking Mrs Gibson caressed her husband. Her hands were on his shoulder and their face were close together. John J Wright, a butcher or Paterson, N. J., was first, called for the defence. Wright stood at the same point on the shore from where Mrs. Renninger said eho saw Gibson turn his boat bottom side up. Ho said the cllstnuce was sufficient to muke it difficult to see without opera glusses. William It. l'etze of 2116 Sixty-sixth-street, llrooklyn, said that he had wit noshed the Szaho will. He knew Mrs. Sznbo because she frequently came to Senator Wray's office. Mrs, Szabo, when tho will was made out, Petzo said, intro- I' uucecl the elderly, stout woman as "Mamma" Petzo was alone at the time. Petze wns attacked by the State for alleged transactions with a jeweller in i which a diamond ring figured, j Edward A. Leete of 82 West Seventieth Mreef, his wife and son, who were with mm in tne ivuncn lorpeiio when (iibsou was taken from the water of tlm InliA said that the lawyer was pole and trem- J bling ns any one might be who had been ! in swimlng too long. Gibson moaned, I - ineineivi un, tno ihuvi i,ook tor the lady!" On cross-examination Mr. Leete said Gibson told him the missing woman had no relatives in this country, a fact which tho State will present to the jury in con nection witli Gibson's introduction of Mrs. Hzabo's mother to the notary three weeks later Thomas Garrison, n guide at Green wood like, 'said from where he sat on a piazza he saw Gibson and Mrs. Sznbo So out of the boat on opposite sides. He mtight they were in swimming and paid no more attention to them. y (farrison is the one eyed guide who takes Justice lompxins fishing at Green wood Lake. "With which eye did'you see all this, Tom?" asked tho court; "the glass one?" "No, with the other," returned Tom, "That has double sight." Garrison told how he nulled the body of Mrs. Szabo from the lake by a small fish hook caught In her left stocking. Then he deaoriljed how he stopped bleed ing at the nose by putting two blocks under the head. Mahler, process server, for-the third time represented tho body of Hosu Szabo, and Garrison, with Jurv. court and counsel crowding around propped up Mahler's head us he lay on me uoor ueyoiiu 1110 jury ixu. Mrs. Gibson to-night exnreased hrtf . as delighted with the unfolding of the! defence in the first four hours. j "I think Mr. Uoldzier'a statement of' our case waa admirable," she said, I In regard to going on tho atane Mrs. Oibson said she waa ready to do so. If it wmild help her husband's case, There is overy indication that Gibson will not be called. His lawyers say' there appears to be no necessity of.it. A th Jury left tb court house this Conclusions Foregone and Woebegone i In most good tailor ing shops dependability and variety of fabrics are a foregone conclusion but Style is a woebegone conclusion. i You may have ob served that, unlike many houses, we do not habitually catalogue fabrics and colorings. f When you take a room and bath at a hotel you naturally cspect to find a bed, water, soap and clean towels. A livery stable keeps horses, a garage stores automobiles, and there is nothing extraordi nary in the fact that a clock keeps time. ' We have never consid ered it necessary to be encyclopaedic on the obvious when a passing glimpse now and then will suffice. r It is precisely for this reason that we talk more about styles than we do about fabrics. ' Wc mention fabrics occasionally, but style with us is an eternal theme, and we dwell upon it more than any other house because wc have more of it to dwell upon. You may take it for granted that Saks fab rics are dependable and representative and ex perience at Saks' will demonstrate to your satisfaction that here is one estjablishment where you may take Style for granted, too.
