Saoramento, Cal., Oot. 13#—President
Taft came to California today on the
last lap of his 19,000~ml)B journey thru
the country. His special train to which
was attached two oars oocupled by
Governor Johnson, his staff and com
mittees for the Panama exposition,
reached hero this morning for a two
hours* stop. The two prtvato cars wero
tacked on the train at Red Bluff at
daybreak, while the president received
the governor and the committee.
President Taft’s volco, which was
hoarse yesterday as a result of outdoor
speaking in wretched weather early this
week In upper Washington, was im
proved this morning. Dr. Rhoades, the
president’s physician, sprayed tho
throat yesterday at frequent intervals
and succeeded in giving grunt neNef to
his distinguished patient.
Mr. Taft had a busy day ahead of
him when his train whirled Into Cali
fornia. The train made two stops on
the way to Bacramento, at Chico and
Marysville, where tho president talked
to crowda from the rear platform of
his tr&tn. #
Later In the day the chief executive
goes to Oakland and then on to Ban
Francisco, arriving there at 6 o'clock
tonight. He will be banqueted at tho
fit. Fran cl* hotel tonight, and put up
there during his two days stay In Ban
Francisco.
The president comes to Insurgent
territory in California. Governor John
son l* ultra-pn»gr**Mnlvf*. and in th*
state there has boon much opposition
to the Taft policies, particularly with
reference to the tariff vetoes. During
his stay In the ststo thf prr.*ld-nf will
devote himself particularly to talks
upon the Panama canal with Ita Im
portance to the commercial Interest, his
peace treaty effort and the arbitration
treaties with the republics of Honduras
and .Nicaragua.

have financed th* road from Atlanta to
Conyers,,a dlatance of 10 mile* which
Is to be completed by January 1.” said
one of the executive*.
"Th* general contractors will arrive
In a few days and th* terms of tho con.
tract from which th* misunderstanding
arose will bo construed. Our position Is
that th* general contractors were to do
everything, and from this the misunder
standing arose. W* havo nothing to do
with the sub-contractors—they work
for th* general contractors. Tho delay
la but temporary."
Three miles of the tin* havo been laid
from White City §n Confederate-are.
and tho county line out to the private
right of way. Grading has been done to
a point nearly to Llthonla.
It waa atatod by tho official that the

build a great dlsponnl plant on In-
trenchment creek, a epot 600 feet from
this line, and the company will prob
ably get th* contract to handle over
1.000 cars of atone, cement, sand, cast
Iron pipe and steel, the materials to be
used In this plant. They will handle
freight by a connection with the At
lanta and West Point bait.
That the trouble Is duo to complfca-
tlons. and not financial tangle. I,
vouched for also by D. A. Bronnlng,
700 Forsyth building, manager In At

"The members of th* Arm will- bo

may bo settled thru mo any mom-nt. I
am the man who stopped the work and
I can aottla It. It la up to the Atlanta
and Carolina people, who can Inform
you of the complication*. It may be

he sold. .
“It Is not a matter of money or pay,
but a disagreement. I will not dls'-u.-a
