AS DOING WELL
RUBIO CANYON VICTIMS MAY
SURVIVE INJURIES
Physicians forced by Piteous Appeals
of Father to Inform Him of the
Death of His Eldest
Son
[Special to The Herald.l
PASADENA, Feb. 13.—A1l three sur
viving victims of the Rubio canyon
disaster have a fair chance of recovery,
according to Dr. A. D. S. McCoy, one
of the physicians who went up on the
relief train, and, In company with Dr.
Williams, has be^n constant in his at
tendance on the injured since their
removal to the Pasadena hospital.
The gravest danger is from pneu
monia, which may follow the exposure
to which Mr. and Mrs. Fred Drew in
their weakened condition were sub
jected.
Drew himself, who was the first to
be taken from the wrecked pavilion,
has two broken ribs and his back is
badly wrenched from being jammed be- |
tween two timbers. He is unable to |
move. One leg is swollen abnormally j
as the result of a fractured blood vessel. I
He would not rest until told the fate
of his oldest boy, whose body was re
covered from the stream under the
wrecked house about 1 o'clock this
morning. The physicians at first feared
to tell the sufferer the truth, but so j
piteous were his appeals that they
yielded. Mrs. Drew has not been told
of her son's fate as yet.
Although badly cut about the head
and arms and terribly bruised about
the body Mrs. Drew's worst injury
came from a wooden splinter, which,
entering her throat, pierced through to
the inside of the mouth. This was
withdrawn today.
George Drew, the 3-year-old boy, who
was found near his father, is in no
danger. Although he was rescued from
the thick of the timbers the only injury
he sustained was a cut on his head.
Fred Thayer Drew, the older boy,
was found drowned beneath the debris.
Save for a bruise on his left cheek he
was not marred.
Coroner Hartwell signed the death
certificate today.
LEMP DECLARES
CHARGES FALSE
FLATLY DENIES ALL OF HIS
WIFE'S STATEMENTS
Says He Never Struck Her Nor Taught
Atheism to His Son—Declares
She Understood Agree.
ment
ST. LONIS. Feb. 13.—A fiat denial
by William J. Lemp, Jr., of the sworn
statements of his wife and the asser
tion by Judge Hitchcock that if he
sees fit to grant a divorce with alimony
to Mrs. Lemp the money will not ba
awarded in a lump sum, but in month
ly or annual allowances, were features
of the Lemp divorce suit when the
trial of the case was resumed today.
About the only point on which Lemp
corroborated his wife's testimony was
his admission that he had hired detec
tives to watch her.
He denied positively that he had ever
struck hero, abused her by word or
deed, told their son that there w^as no
God, or derided the Roman Catholic
church to the boy.
He asserted his wife had read and
knew the contents of the ante-nuptial
agreement which she signed, although
she said she did so in ignorance of its
contents.
In an even, dispassionate manner
j Lemp flatly contradicted the sworn
statements of his wife of the signing
of second ante-nuptial agreements be
tween the pair.
Lemp asserted that his wife read the
| paper which she said she signed while
j innocent of its contents, and he denied
that he had covered up the document
so that she could not read its con
tents.
He declared he did not present to
her any paper which would leave her
free to train the children religiously
after they were 7 years old.
The onl yallegation which Lemp ad
mitted was that h e had engaged the
detective to watch his wife after the
discovery of the "dear little pal letter"
which Mrs. Lemp acknowledged writ
ing after explaining that it was in
tended merely as a decoy for her hus
band.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb. 13.—The

LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 14, 1909.
TAFT ENTHUSED
BY HOSPITALITY
SOUTH GENEROUS INWELCOME
TO NEXT PRESIDENT
THREE STATES EXTEND CORDIAL
GREETINGS TO TRAVELER
Warns Audience at Hattiesburg to
"Beware of Unwarranted Criti
cisms of Panama Canal
Builders"
BIRMINGHAM. Ala.. Feb. 13.—
Talking through Lousiana, Mississippi
and Alabama, President-elect Taft to
day had the gratification of being
heartily received by large and enthu
siastic crowds who had not voted for
him.
Several times he made his apprecia
tion plain. At the same time he left
a touch of irony as a reminder that
his predictions had surely come true,
and not only did the south seem will
ing to accept him as their president,
but his greatest desire was to be the
president of every man, woman and
child in the nation.
There was one other burden on the
Taft mind today—a desire to show ut
ter contempt for what he termed the
baseless and hurtful criticisms of the
work being done on the Panama canal.
The geniality of the Taft smile may
be seen in this sentence in his address
at Hattiesburg, Miss.:
Delighted to Be President
"I am delighted to say to you that I
am your president, and you cannot
help it, and if ever an opportunity
comes again to show it it will gratify
me to come down here to Hattiesburg,
named after, I doubt not, a beautiful
woman, and say to the people of Hat
tiesburg, 'Come up to Washington and
we will give you the right hand of fel
lowship and will show you that you
own just as much of the White House
and have as much right to call on the
president—and, indeed, on the woman
who occupies it and runs it—as any
body.' "
The canal remarks of Mr. Taft w»pre
delivered in an unusually aggressive
manner.
"The Panama canal is going to be
built," he declared, "and what I want
you to do and what I want every
American citizen to do is to stand by
the men who are building it. Don't
set a fire in the rear, don't distrust the
men who are giving up their strength
and energy and enterprise to put that
great work through.
Stand Behind Agents
"When you have agents who are
doing your work you stand behind
them.
"If you don't you cannot get your
work done. The men who do your work
are entitled t your help and confi
dence, and you ought not to allow
yourselves to be led astray by bun
comb speeches in the house of repre
sentatives or by headlines in sensation
al newspapers and go back on the men
that are doing your work.
"I don't care whether you are Dem
ocrats or Republicans, you want the
work done, and when the army en
gineers who are doing this work are
giving all their time to it you are not
men to go back on them or to believe
every idle story that comes from the
mouth of some idle politician who is
seeking to make himself prominent or
to give himself the advertisement of a
little unfounded sensational state
ment.
"That work is being done honestly.
I know what I am talking about. It
will be built and all the wind opposi
tion that comes merely from a desire
to exalt and exploit the man who
makes himself responsible won't ob
struct it.
Knows What People Want
"I know what the people of the
United States want in that regard, and
in so far as I have power, as the execu
tive of this country, I am going to push
that work, and I am going to stand
behind the men who are doing it. And
now, gentlemen, you ,h.ave got.me into
more heat than I expected, but I thank
you very much for your welcome."
There was a cordial leavetaking at
New Orleans this morning, when the
Taft party departed. Slidell, La., turned
out the first crowd to greet the presi
dent-elect, and from that time on he
was almost constantly on the rear plat
form of his train, expressing his pleas
ure at the crowds and talking to the
people.
Floral tributes, bonbons and two live
"billy possums" constituted the pre
sentations of the day. The 'possums
were allowed to escape from their
wooden crates and take to the woods
at nightfall.
The two gigantic demonstrations of
the day were at Hattiesburg and Meri
dian, whHe at Birmingham tonight
there was a tremendous crowd.
Mr. and Mrs. Taft will reachf Cincin
nati tomorrow.
TAFT FAVORS CO-OPERATION
WITH GOVERNORS OF STATES
HATTIESBURG. Miss., Feb. 13.—The
principal speech of the day /as deliv
ered by Mr. Taft at Hattiesburg.
"I think." he said, "it is well that
the governors of the states and the
president of the United States should
have a close association in order that
the great reforms to be accomplished
in many directions, especially that of
the conservation of our resources, there
may be team work between the states
and nation, so we shall all work to
gether.
"Whoever you preferred before the
election, I am willing to accept your
kindly and hospitable welcome aa an
indication that, although somebody
else was selected in spite of you, you
are willing to take me now as a sort
of a bad second. But seriously, my
dear friends, it is a very great pleas
ure for m e to come into the south and
to receive the cordial welcome, the cor
dial personal welcome, I may say, that
I have received at every hand by white
and black in Georgia, South Carolina,
Louisiana and Mississippi, and espe
cially in Hattiesburg."
LIBERTY BELL WILL BE
CARRIED TO EXPOSITION
Commerce Commission Issues Full
Permit for Transportation of
Famous Relic
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 13.—The in
terstate commerce commission has
granted a permit for the free trans
portation of the liberty bell and a
guard of Philadelphia policemen to the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition at Se
attle, Wash., and it is probable the
famous old relic will be taken to the
far west this summer.
Mayor Reyburn has received a num
ber of petitions from several Pacific
coast cities that the bell be sent west,
and will recommend to the city coun
cil that the request be granted.
TRAIN ROBBERS
SECURE $35,000
D. & R. G. PASSENGER CAR
BOLDLY LOOTED
CRIME COMMITTED NEAR DENVER
BY THREE MEN
Eighteen Packages of Registered Mail
Secured—Holdup One of Most
Daring in Years—No Clew
to Bandits
DENVER, Feb. 13.—That the holdup
of the Denver & Rio Grande passenger
train near Denver early this morning
was the work of three instead of two
robbers and that the robbery of the
mail car gave them a loot of possibly
$35,000 are indicated by the investiga
tion of the railroad and police officials
today.
So far no tangible clew to the iden
tity or whereabouts of the robbers
has been found, but it seems probable
that the men came to Denver and are
now hiding in this city.
Eighteen packages of registered mail
were secured. These included five from
Salt Lake addressed to Greeley, Colo.;
Georgetown, Colo.; Waco, Tex.; White
wright, Tex., and Denver; one from
Pueblo to Denver, one from Colorado
Springs to Denver, one from Taylor,
Wash., to Steamboat Springs, Colo.;
one from Winfield, Wash., to Sterling,
Colo.; one from Leadville to Denver,
and others from Glenwood Springs and
other Colorado towns.
One Held Large Sum
One of these packages is said to have
contained a large sum of money, but
until a thorough checking up of the
missing packages is possible, the exact
amount secured by the robbers cannot
be ascertained.
The robbery was remarkable for its
originality and daring. It took place
within eight miles of Denver, within
less than two miies of Fort Logan,
the United States military reservation,
and at a spot where habitations are
plentiful.
Yet so thorough was the work of
the robbers, and so well were their
plans laid, that they had fully an hour
and a half start of the officers.
Search of the vicinity of the holdup
indicates that a third man, and possi
bly a fourth, was engaged in the rob
bery; that a rubber-tljpd buggy was
in waiting for the actual holdups, and
that torpedos and red signal fires were
used^-unsuccessfully in an attempt to
stop the train before the automatic
revolvers of the two men on the train
were used in doing this.
From the manner in which the hold
up was accomplished it is thought to
be possible that the robbers are the
ones responsible for the holdup of the
Denver & Rio Grande train last May,
when Express Messenger Wright was
killed.
CONGRESS DEBATES
VARIOUS SUBJECTS
CALIFORNIAN ATTACKS RULES
OF THE HOUSE
Indian Appropriation Bill Technically
Considered, but Leads to General
Discussion of Many
Projects
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—A variety
of subjects was discussed in the house
of representatives today. The Indian
appropriation bill technically was un
der consideration, but many members
availed themselves of the opportunity
for general debate. Mr. Larmer (Flor
ida) argued for the amendment of the
railroad rate law, claiming the law
was insufficient to cover the cases in
cluded in its provisions; Mr. Madden
(Illinois) referred to increases in
freight rates since the freight law
went into effect; Mr. Murphy (Wiscon
sin) delivered a eulogy of Lincoln; Mr.
Washburn (Massachusetts) favored a
modification of the Sherman anti-trust
law in order that it might be less bur
densome; Mr. Hayes (California) at
tacked the rules of the house; Mr.
Langley (Kentucky) criticised the ad
ministration of affairs of the Choctaw
Indians; Mr. Sherman (New York) ex
plained the provisions of the Indian
bill, while Mr. Foster (Vermont) plead
ed for an adjustment of postal rates as
affecing merchandise sent through the
mails.
The Indian bill was pending when
the house adjourned until tomorrow,
which was set apart for eulogies of de
ceased members.
GOES OUT WITH DRAY TO
COLLECT TAX OR CHATTELS
Cook County Official Prepared to Get
Delinquent Tariff or Its
■ Equivalent
CHICAGO, Feb. 13.—Only 17,000 per
sons out of 75,000 amply notified to pay
their personal property tax having re
sponded, representatives of the county
treasurer's office started out in furni-4
ture vans to get the money or its
equivalent in chattels.
The first van, manned by a crew of
large-muscled deputies and an attor
ney, bore banners reading: "Cook Coun
ty Collector of Personal Property Tax
es."
At the first place at which a stop was
made- the firm owed $141. When the
attorney expressed his determination to
get the money or property the manager
looked surprised. The check was
promptly forthcoming and the van
moved on to further conquests.
There is an aggregate of $8,000,000 to
be collected, and the proceeding is
said to be strictly according to law.
Lower Fare Causes Deficit
CLEVELAND, 0., Feb. 13.—A deficit
of $65,827 for January was shown to
day in a report submitted by the re
ceivers of the Municipal Traction com
pany. The statement covers the opera
tion of the street car system under a
3-cent fare, and the shortage is stated
to be laijer than for any month since
the property was leased to the Mu-j
nlcipal company. The total deficit un
der the nine months' operation at 3
cent fares is 5,229,678.
Assigned New Command
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—Brigadier
General Daniel B. Russell, recently re
lieved from command of the depart
ment of Columbia and ordered to the
Philippines, has been assigned to the
command of the department of the
Visayas, as the relief of Brigadier Gen
eral Charles H. Hodges, who is com
ing home.

In Building theNewHome
Give early consideration to decorative effects
—have them exclusive, artistic, harmonious
fj Just as necessary as an architect's service in the planning of the house, is the experi
enced skill of the expert decorator, in bringing to perfect completion the home interior
that shall be attractive, comfortable and thoroughly "livable." '
(J It is not an easy matter to know beforehand just what the finished results will be in
the decorating of walls, treatment of woodwork, selection of floor coverings, . door and
window hangings, draperies, etc., and in the assemblage of furniture; only the long ex
perience of the "fine home specialist" can determine such conclusions as this in advance.
Cj The importance then can easily be appreciated of depending upon one whose judgment
has been developed and. ripened in the creating of many hundreds of the finest and
most beautiful homes in America. Such an authority as this has been secured by us to aid
our patrons in securing superior results in this line. His advice is invaluable and will be
• freely given to our customers. .
(J Under the direction of this famous decorative expert, we have a staff of the most com
:. petent artisans. We have also increased our facilities by assembling a very superior
and complete stock of everything required in high-class decorative —materials arid
fabrics, imported hand-carved lighting fixtures, hand-tooled leathers and embossed wall
- papers, etc., and throughout our jj extensive furniture stock will be found a large number
of those odd —reproductions of classic period styles—which are so essential in the
making of the finished fine home. ; .
{| As soon as the architect's plans have been approved for the new home, the matter of
floor-coverings should be considered. These, it should be remembered, are in certain
fixed colorings and effects which cannot be changed, making it necessary to select them
before the color-scheme for decorations and wood finish can be determined; then the
decorative effects may be decided upon and chosen to harmonize in a correct manner.
(T(j In the making of the new home, take advantage of the many features offered by us,
which combined, will enable you to secure here a service and satisfaction not possible
elsewhere.
