At 1 this afternoon, at the Algonquin club, Gov Curtis Guild Jr gave a complimentary luncheon to the distinguished visitors, the officers of the Merchants' association and one or two other well-known people. The oecasion was entirely informal, there being no speeches. The guests were Gov Joseph W. Folk of Missouri and Gen Henry Lee, his secretary; Mayor John Weaver and Hon William T.

Shortly after his arrival Gov Folk was called on by a Globe reporter, with whom he chatted briefly concerning his visit to Boston and the political situation in the west. The noted Nemesis of the trusts and graft has been in Boston several times, but this will be the first occasion on which he will have made a speech here. Folk's Personality "Delightful." Gov Folk is a youthful looking, cleanshaven, bright-eyed and alert man of medium stature and with a most delightful personality. He wears rimless eveglasses, and a modest black bow tie helps to give him a somewhat ministerial appearance. In his intei course with other men he Is the personification of democracy and affability, and it is easy for the most casual acquaintance to understand why he has such a strong hold upon the affections and respect of the people of Missouri.

Gov Folk said that his last visit to Boston was in 1S01. and he expressed himself as pleased to be In the Hub once more. In accordance with the resolution ot the legislature of last year, the Boston rapid transit commission this moraine filed with the clerk of the lower branch a report of its investigations into tho matter of additional subway systems in this city. The report is an exhaustive affair, comprising 29 typewritten pages. The commission in looking ahead for from 15 to 20 years gives as its conclusions that the suoways already authorized will provide sufficiently for the reasonable needs of the future, so far as concerns traffic toward the south, and that those already authorized or built will also provide for a considerable increase in trafHc toward the north, the bridges forming the limit to traffic in that direction.

It believes that to use the East Boston tunnel to its full capacity tho tracks should not be connected at grade with the present subway tracks at ScoMay sq, and that these tunnel tracks should eventually end in a loop under the Scollay-sq station or be extended, to the west as a part of some through east and west line. It suggests that the act providing for the East Side subway should be amended so as to allow that subway to bo built at a creator dl an from wah Petition for 10 Given sistant custodian of the federal build wu tickets have been issued, and every one was disposed of several days ago.

Mrs Weaver, Mrs Tilden and one or two Ex-Gov John D. Long said: I cannot speak of Judge Barker or think of him only as a distinguished member of our profession and a judicial magistrate of the highest rank in our commonwealth. I recall him, as many of you do, as the personal friend of many years the memory of whose kina face and greeting and sweetly compnnionable personality is very grateful to me, as I am sure it is to lis all. I knew him not man and boy, but old man and young man, although those terms seem unfitting, for thore were always an almost singular evenness and continuity of quality and tenor in him from first to last, so that in wiiicr muies win view tne proceedings postoffice. The judge's charge took exactly an hour in delivery, and the case was given to the Jury at 11 o'clock.

Judge Dodge laid down the principles of law governing the case, and instructed the jury that they must first find that Swift took the money from Bourne, if he took it thai it was taken witii criminal intent and that it was taken for the purpose of improperly securing the contract for tht firm of Bourne, Hadley Co. If they were not satisfied on these points the judge said the defendant was entitled to a verdict of acquittal. Gov Folk's Career.

The commissioners believe the Cam-brldge-st subway should not be connected at grade with the Tremont-st subway, but should end in a loop or from part of some through ltne to tho east. If it is to end in a loop, it seems desirable, say the commissioners, to extend It to Park st, or that neighborhood.

Additional provisions should be mad immediately, the report says, for traffic toward the west, and the communion recommends the extension of the Boyls-ton-st subway to Copley sq, or to om point still further west, separatng the arades of the Boylston st, and the Huntington-av tracks. The commission further recommends a new line of subway from near tho junction of Commonwealth av and Beacon st to Park st. It emphasizes tho necessity of avoiding grade crossings in this work, and says that the danger to buildings is not such as to be a barrier to further construction of subways. In explanation the commission points out that the Tremont-st subway, East Boston tunnel and the Washington-st tunnel are but the beginning of a comprehensive system of subwuys, and that the East Side subway, the Cambrldge-st subway and the suggested Cam-brldge-st subway are merely progressive parts of this wystem. If economically built and equitably leased they should prove profitable Investments in the field of transportation and should not add to the taxes or the ultimate debt of the city.

He was always easily in prominence, not like a towering monument on a pedestal, but like a fair white stone on the highway of our New England life. Some men come into sight by the display of exceptionally brilliant qualities and achievements, some by persistent push and forceful manipulation of agencies and some by simple strength of character, not so much asserting itself as turned to by the public which always carries a lantern and is on the lookout for an honest man.

Public advancement comes to men of this last class more easily when they have the added quality of lovableness, sympathy with the community felt by it as well as felt by them a quality not accompanied by any lack of that personal dignity which in Judge Barker was very marked, but springing naturally from the mutual personal affection and good-will between him and his neighbors, and friends. Among his classmates in college he was their beloved, and his word and example weighed. A young lawyer in his native town of Pittsfield, without prestige as a brilliant advocate or resort, however proper, to canvassing activities, he was sent to the general court because of the general pride in his worth and confidence in his good judgment, his discretion, his absolute integrity. There, among his legislative associates, their recognition of the same qualities put him in the front rank of the leaders, not of debate, but of discretion and legislation. Later, in selecting from the western part of the commonwealth a member of the commission for revising the tax laws, it was Mr Barker, with his reputation at home and in the legislature, to uwhom Gov Talbot's attention was turned.

So, too. Gov Talbot's successor turned to him when a member from the same quarter was to be associated with Charles Allen and Uriel H. Crocker on or in the ranks of the opposition party. The decree has gone forth that there is tublie sentiment in his state, self-advertising evidently r.ot being a weakness of his. When questioned whether the movement in favor of tariff revision was makiriR any headway In Missouri, Gov Folk replied: "The democratic party of my state, of course, is in favor of tariff revision, and there are a good many republicans who feel the same way about it.

"The democrats believe that any tariff system which favors special interests and tends to build up monopolies is nothing more nor le.s than a species of graft, and ought to be abolished." The governor said that his speech tonight would deal largely with the question of political reform and the tight of the better element against graft and corruption, and that it would also touch upon other issues of collateral interest. The soft-spoken and keen-eyed Mis-sour ian said that he had never met Gov Curtis Guild Jr, and was looking forward to seeing him with much Interest. He remarked, in passing, that Massa-cuusetts is handicapped by being obliged to elect a governor every year, whereas in Missouri the election takes place only once in four years. Folk Wants to Meet Douglas. Gov Folk was reminded that something had been said about the possibility of his having a meeting with Boston's strenuous "system" smasher, Thomas W.

Lawson. He replied that, as far as he knew, no such thing had been planned, but something in his tone conveyed the impression that such a meeting would be no room in the democratic party for and Sunday morning, followed by clearing' colder in north portion Saturday mornine or night.

Mr Folk Is not a native of Missouri, but was born in Brownsville. Tenn, Oct 28 1869, and Is therefore only 37 years of age.

His father is Judge Henry B. Folk of Brownsville, and his mother is a descendant of the Estes family of Virginia. Mr Folk is a graduate of Vanderbilt university of Nashville.

The petition was presented in a cedar chest by Eric Pape, the artist who designed it, and, in the presence of a distinguished company, was laid before the President. The petition is 170 feet long.

The President suggested that the old frigate be rigged and equipped as she appeared in her fighting days and sent to Annapolis. Another suggestion was that the vessel be sent to Washington. In an unmistakable way the President indicated that the vessel ought to be preserved.

Senator Spooner remarked: "1 think we not only should preserve the Constitution, but should also construct a groat modern battleship, if possible, the finest In the world, to bear the name Constitution tl." This suggestion Wii apt 1 1 1 1 ly by the President, ho Indicated that Difficulties All Solved. The report begins with a discussion of the matter of danger to buildings along ths line of subways, and says that in future work no greater difficulties aro likely to be encountered in that direction than were surmounted by the engineers In the construction of the Baas Boston tunnel, the present subway and the Washington-st tunnel, which, the commission expects, will be complete In less than a year and a half front date.

The governor then did a little questioning himself, inquiring whether Ex-Gov Douglas, about whom he has heard a good deal, is in the city. He was curious to know how long his interviewer had been connected with the Globe, and when told 17 years, expressed "is surprise.

"In St Louis, where I know a great many newspaper men," he said, "I don't think I could name many who have been connected with their papers as long as that; while in San Francisco, where I was last spring, It seemed as if none of the men who came to Interview me had been connected with their papers more than alx or seven weeks. None of them knew one another." In closing the brief interview Gov Folk intimated that he was anticipating his meeting with Boston's representative merchants and public officials to-i ight with great interest. He said that he will he obliged to leave for home tomorrow forenoon on account of a great pressure of official business.
