MAKES SEVERAL OTHER 'SPEECHES DURING DAY At Erie, the President Outlines Plan of Compromise on the Arbitration Treaties.

By Associated Prcs. EHIE, Sept. President Taft ouded' the first of his forty-six days of speech-making with au address in. tho Auditorium hero tonight. Before arriving be bad spent nine hours in N.

where he made three speeches. Tho president said he had determined that his average during this trip would bo four and a half speeches a day, so he did not start out at lop speed. Mr. Taft reserved his most important uttcrunco of the day for the speech here when he outlined a plan by which ho hopes to wipe out objections in tho United States senate to tho recently negotiated treaties of arbitration with Great Britain and France. These treaties have been bold up and threatened with defeat, largely because several senators have contended that the proposed joint high commission which would determine whether or not a question should bo scut to arbitration practically robbed tho sonato oi its function of passing upon the question.

Suggests Compromise. The president tonight suggested as a compromise 'tbtrtlTlii? American "members of Hiich a joint; commission should bo confirmed by tho senate. He said he saw no reason why they should not be, if congress, or tho. senate, thought it dangerous to trust tlio president only to make the appointmeiita. Mr.

Taft indicated that he would go further than this and be willing to wipe out the joint high commission entirety, if need be, and loave.the decision as to whothcr a question is arbitral to a board of arbitration. Ho also would be willing to havo this board pass not only upon the merits of tho question, bur. upon tho jurisdiction. "Either wo arc in favor of arbitration on issues which are likely to load ijo war, or we aro ho exclaimed. "Jf we aro in.

favor of war as the only means of settling questions of importance betwoen countries, then lot us recognize it as a principle, and decline all but if wo are really in favor of arbitration as a- means of avoiding war, then why should wc not be willing to submit to impartial men tho decision upon a question mthor than to lenvo it to the result of a bloody battle, in which, with a fair cause, we may be beaten or with an unjust cause wo may conquer?" Biding His Time. The president did not plunge directly into a defonso of his administration, as some of his hearers had expected. One of tho most significant things he said was at tho luncheon with tho New York state fair commissioners at Syracuse, when ho explained why he had not discussed reciprocity in his outdoor address to several thousands of city folk and farmors. "I-am not going to speak about reciprocity," he said, "until nfter the matter is settled in Canada. We have done "our part and we aro waiting, and it is just as well for us to keep quiet." Mr.

Taft also explained in Syracuse why he happened to decide upon this jaunt to the Pacific and through "tho enemy's countr.y" of insurgency. This trip was just like "Tonsy," ho said; "it growod." "Two years ago promised Governor Hughes to visit your state fnir. Then I made an appointment with Con-crrcBsman Madison of Kansas to visit Kansas and Hutchinson on tho semicentennial of the state. "These two engagement were the reason of my downfall. Thereafter an engagement in San Prnncisco accomplished by completo Now 1 have before mo forty days of travel and do not know how many speeches, and I ask your prayers Tor my survival." Explains His Trip.

In further explanation of his trip, the president 'T expect to talk on this trip about tho issues of the dav. and somo of my policies if I may dignify my relation to them by the noiSPssive case and count them among tho issues of the day. I hope I may he able tu bring i somewhat more clearly from Uie standpoint of one who is charged with some responsibility in respect of them, many of the questions that perplex the legislators and executive at At the state fair grounds in l-yra-ciieo the president found himself in tho midst of one of the groa test crowds ever gathered there, and estimated by somo as in the neighborhood of 100,000. Ho sharod honors with an aeroplanist who was constantly' over the heads of the people, and several of the most noted automobile rnoers in tho country. Continued on Pago Three.

USB N- 0 local news story published in recent years has caused so much com merit as the ex- 91 elusive story in yesterday's Trib- uue regarding the taking or! pho- juH tographic views in the Salt Lako Mormon -temple, by secret meth- ods. It was for hours almost tho sole topic oi: conversation about the streets and mightily stirred the authorities of the church. The ffi Organ of the Mormon church last Jtim evening took account of the story to the extent of devoting two pages of space to a discussion of the details. The most important development of tho day was thif identification, through efforts pf a Tribune representative, oC Sj tho man who took tho views. JThis man It is Gilbert L.

Bossard, a German con- vert to Mormonism. who fell out with Hi tjio church authorities and secretly took the pictures in a spirit of revenge. Employed by Florence. While Bossard was employed for a long timo by Florence in His motion picture business, it is said by close friends of that Bossard took IB the pictures on his own account and without the advico or knowledge oi Florence. -It was oulv after tho views (D boon obtained that Bossard told IB Florence of his exploits, and the lat- ter, seeing an opportunity to turn them to commercial account, investigated the New York markot with a view of dis- nl posing of them to postcard publishers and stereopticon view 9j should the church refuse to buy tho negatives.

Bf Came and Went at Will. It Is said that Bossard had no difficulty In gaining access to the temple and that he devoted opportune hours for tho space IB of a year to obtalnlntr tho views. Belnt? MB still a member of the Mormon church so NBA far as anything to tho contrary appeared, 9HI Bossard. of course, could fco and come on wmhm the same terms as any other member of fiBH the church who visits the temple. Eml- BJ nent lawyers In Salt say that Bof- Wmm sard Is not liable to prosecution for tak- ing the views, and that the most serious charge that i-ould be placed against him Bt would bo one of trespass.

There wa3 a report yesterday that in- junction proceedings might he had to re- IV strain Florence from showing the pic- Wk turcs. It was also reported that a charge or blackmail might bo brought against inf Florence but whether such a chargo wouhl He is matter of doubt, with tho mk view preponderating that It would not. Bi The text of tho letter received from Max Florence by President Josoph F- Smith was made public yesterday. Tn this letter Florence" declares that the jM offer of the pictures to the Mormon fla church is a strict, business proposition cud without sentiment. jwj Threatens Publicity.

Florence intimates that unless tin Bt church buys his negatives he will exploit IB the views In post cards and otherwise. and, by inference at least, says he sees jM a fortune for himself In his pictorial pes- sessions. Prosldent Smith also made pub- Ml Hi tho text of the telegram which ho i sent to Florence. That message reads: "I will make no bargain with thieves, or Bj -traffickers In stolon goods. I prefer to i let the.

Yesterday The Tribune wired Mr. Flor- IK enceiit the Imperial hotel, Now York, saying in effect that It hud been ed that his action In sending prints of hli negatives to President Smith. with a wU proposition to sell, had been construed In SB some quarters as attempted blnckmalt.
