Interview Accorded to
Reporters
[ ABS"cl»tcd Fr«»]
BUFFALO, N. T.. April M.—Presi
dent Taft and Secretary of State Knox
were guests of honor at the banquet
held totiisht In ratification of the two
leading commercial organisations of
Buffalo-—the chamber of commerce and
the Manufacturers' club.
Thomas Penney, former district attor
ney of Erie county, acted as toast
master. *
Secretary Knox devoted himself to
mi explanation •of recent reforms In
the diplomatic and consular service.
He declared anew that diplomacy and
trade must pro hand In hand, and that
it was a misconception to construe it
otherwise^ s ■ '.':'
I The president devoted the greater
part of his speech to purely local
topics. He spoke of Niagara Kails as
an embarrassment because of its
■conic grandeur and industrial utility.
This brought him to a discussion of
the conservation of natural resources,
and irrfllrectly to a reference to Secre
tary Ballingcr, when ho said!
"Let, mo lift my voice in behalf of
those who are responsible' for carry-
Ing forward this work and plead that
they shall not* he traduced and mis
represented In reaching a solution of
a problem most difficult."
'-• IH.SCC96ES CONSERVATION 111 1,18
•The president spoke of the conserva
tion bills in congress, and especially
of the one confirming the right of the
executive to withdraw lands from pub
lic entry. ... .
"There has boon objection to this."
he said, "as reflection upon those of
ficials who already have exercised this
power in suggesting that they usurped
the power of congress. If the supreme
court should decide that this power
does not exist we would have a perfect
mess. There are people who. say the
power does not exist and' are trying
to secure title to land on that ground.
The fact they are willing to face law-,
suits shows they have long purses and
are prepared to light."
The president, said the subject, of
conservation whs rather abstruse.
"But," he added 1! amid laughter,
"there are a great many people In
favor of conservation, no matter what
ie means."
Mr. 'laft paid a tribute to Governor
Hughes.
"As I look on this New York audi
ence," be said, "I feel like apologizing
on the one hand and felicitating the
country on the other, in taking from
you a great governor to make a great
justice of supreme court.

Mr. Tuft and Secretary Kr.ox as
Bliests of the Buffalo Ad club at luncli
rmi today madt two little Impromptu
Fpecc-iics which won them enthusiastic
plaudits. The president spoke of his
legislative hopes, but declared he pre
ferred being advertised rather than to
advertise himself, despite the criticism
that lie did not sufficiently employ that
agency.
Secretary Knox took a decided tlins
"at some newspapers" which, he de*
dared, in diluting the news were as
t'uiity of wrongdoing as cv n Indicted
nnder the pure food art for diluting
foodstuffs.
"Especially," added the si'ivctary, "if
that dilution springs from malice or
an attempt to misrepresent."
After breakfast at the home of Ana
ley Wilcox this mornins. President Taft
spent two hours In the library of tho
Wileox home, where in 1901 Theodore
Jtoosevelt took the oath of office as
president of the United States follow
ing the death of President MeKlnley,
a few blocks away. Mr. Tuft is the
first president to visit Buffalo since
those fateful days.
Shortly after noon the president held
a reception at the chamber of com
merce.
Mr. Taft broke n presidential prece
dent by allowing liiniself to be quoted
at an Interview with reporters. Ho
asked his interviewers to keep away
from politics, but they plunged right
into the New York situation, especially
the appointment of Governor Hughes
to the supreme court bench.
"I saw Governor Hughes at Albany,"
the president Haiti, "before be was nom
inated, and we wont over the question
ot his running again for governor. I
urged him to do so. Ho gavo me many

KNOT HE CAN'T UNTIE
Emulating Feats of Circus Con
tortionists, Kid Becomes
Badly Tangled Up
NEW YORK, April 30.—Small Wil
liam Gordon's shining morning face
was missing from the family pew at
the. Dutch' Jletormed church 01 Clin
ton, N. J. li snone. brlgntly enough to
have been there, but it shone with
liniment and so it gnone from small
William's trundle bed at home. For
William yesterday went through the
travail of giving over an ambition anil
the woes of his spirit are nut now to
be compared wiui thu woes of his
body.
William is 10 years old. Yesterday
ho came to New York with nis la
mer, Edwin W. Goruun, and all he
clearly remembers about the metropo
lis is that there was a street there
with circus posters on both sides.
It might, bo more exact to say a cir
cus poster, lor William took, home no
desire to bo a Behemoth or anything
Curtner down in toe ulpnabet. He want
ed to begin at me u«--ginnihg ana he
an acrooat. He began in tno nayloit
yesterday morning, bright . and lair,
start in at me upper left lianu
corner ol' that certain poster and
working downward, stunt by stunt.
. Then William essayed a really truly
feat. This is what happened as nearly
as could be learned, tie tut-Kcd the
feet beniud his head and essayed to
spin. It was a clncn. He tried it
again and described three complete cir
cles. Tile family ought not to be kept
in ignorance any longer, thought Wil
liam, and he decided to call them.
nut nis led. wouldn't come trom be
hind his head. William conjured uj)
another vision of tne poster, but it
snowed notning mat seemed to lit th»i
circumstances. His right loot yielded
to the extent of one brief wrtgnie, Out
tne promise that held out died a-born
lng. Ten minutes of further effort did
not produce even a wriggle.
So William rolled himself to the win
dow over the carriage shed to call lor
help. Then his breath went back on
him, just as his feet nad. One wneeze
was nis limit, and with the corneis of
him aching in anticipation William
rolled to mo head of the stairs, tee- .
tered an instant on the verge and went
over. Mr. Gordon had Just, come out
for the horse when William readied
the yard.
"What the—help! help!" cried Mr.
Gordon, and sprang forward. When
help arrived he had just got the handle
of a pitchfork inserted betweeen Wil
liam's ear and that right foot which
had wriggled once.
It was a painful but not long opera
tion after that. An odor of arnica per
vaded the house, and the sound of
covers being turned down came from
the room wnere William's trundle bed
is. The rest of the day was uneventful,
except lor William decision that
maybe it would be easier to be a be
hemoth than an acrobat.
RUBBERS AT CACTUS
SAYS THERE IS RUBBER
Philly Scientist Finds New Way to
Produce Goods
PHILADELPHIA, April 30.—Dr. J.
M. Macfarlane, director of the botan
ical garden of the University of Penn
sylvania, said a representative of a
New York cactus grower had visited
him recently and had obtained a spe
cimen of cactus from which he de
clared rubber could be made.
This species of cactus has never been
suspected of containing rubber, but
the New York grower has discovered
that rubber can be extracted from it
in paying quantities. The truth of the
claim, Dr. Macfarlan* explained, has
been substantiated through exteiibive
experiments.
The cactus thrives in California, but
there aro several largo specimens of
the species in eastern greenhouses and
botanical gardens. The purpose of the
New York man is to gather these lar
ger cactuses and take them to the
western state for cultivation. At the
some time South America is being
scoured for other specimens.

store. "An" ylt, although the winter
is our restln' spell, we manage to keep
conslddable busy. You get up at from

scun out to your barn an' milk fo-teen
to fifteen cows, an' strain that there
milk Into cans an" git it to the railroad
station three miles away before break
fast, an' then mebbe you cut cord wood
all fo'noon an' put up ice all arternoon
an" feed an' water thutty or forty head
o' stock, an' turn to at night an' milk
agin an' feed an' bed down all the
critters by lantern light, an' git ready
for a good start in the mornln' an'
chore around until bedtime— You' do
all that, an* it keeps you considdable
busy even in the winter time when
there ain't much doln' on a farm. Still,
it's In the summer time that you have
to reely hustle to make farmln' pay.
Then you air busy-"— Puck.
