AMATTING TAFT, | NEW ORLEANS HAS WELGOME READY Wireless Reports President- Elect Safe and Heading for the City. GREAT FEAST PLANNED. Chefs in a Maze of Menus to Tickle Guest’s Palate and i Make Epicures Wonder. PORT EAD8, via New Orleans, Feb. 10.—Wireless communication received here to-day says that President-elect Taft and party are reported 300 miles off the Passes, at the mouth of the Mississipi River. He is due to arrive @t South Pass at midnight. NEW ORLDANS, Feb. 10.—Although| the time echeduled for the arrival in| this city of President-elect Taft 1s still many hours off, New Orleans was to- Gav already ..epared to greet the dis- tinguished visitor who !s expected to} land at 3 o'clock to-morrow afternoon | on his return to the United States from) Panama, »Last night a wireless message bore| the news up to the city of the arrival| at the mouth of the river of the scout) crulser Birmingham, which will lie In} the offing until the North Carolina and Montana are sighted and will then pre-| pare for the transfer of the President- elect who will leave the North Carolina off South Pass and come up the river en the Birmingham. Safe, Say Mariners. A heavy thunder storm late yester- @ay played havoc with many of the decorations which had been placed in honor of the President-elect and caused @nxiety on the part of those who Im- | agined the storm was also raging in| the Gulf, The decorations were replaced | early to-day, however, and mariners/ gave assurances that the North Caro- Ina could not posstbly have made such fast speed as to have gotten within the storm area. While civic and military parades, tours to points of historic interest and receptions ure all to play a prominent part in the entertainment during his two days’ stay in New Orleans, it Is very apparent that the $2 a plate ban- quet on Friday night is to be made the principal feature of the visit. It js planned to bring the lst of those qubscribing to the banquet up to the one thousand mark, so cost will not be a deterrent factor in the success of the feast. Chefs Busy Planning. Many imaginary menus have been made up and circulated as the official bill of fare, but the chefs and others Are still busy considering just what shall be served. Some insist upon “poulet creole," young chickens stuffed with fresh mushrooms, while others declare pecan nut butter would be much more appetizing. | Many favor crawfish bisque, but | others hold out for the old-fashioned creole gumbo. The fish will be either pompano or sheepshead and It will be cooked in wine. There will be a frult salad in which the principal Ingredients will be pineapples, bananas, oranges, Rrapefrult, ce! and a rich creole! dressing. Biscuit glace, pralines of co- coanut and other sweet things will be terved for the iast courses, Old cellars have been ransacked and wines of rare vintage unearthed for the eceasion, There will be a montillado, chateau lafitte and many other fine old wines which, according to the chefs, have been stored away for so many years that rakes will be required to separate them from the cobwebs formed over the bottles. A feature of the banquet Is to be the | serving of the cafe broulot. Several | hundred silver bowls have been se- > cured and the coffee, rich with the, aroma of spices and cognac, will be | stirred with long silver ladles by dark- jes chanting old creole songss while the alcohol is burning. Cardinal Gibbons, who will pronounce | the invocation at the banquet, arrived in New Orleans last night. ———_—_—__——.

The personal petition in bankruptey ot P. J. Kelran, the head of the Fidelity Funding Company, was heard to-day United States Commissioner Alexander In the chambers of Judge Hough, in the Federal Building. Mr, Kelran in his testimony declared his full faith in the company. He made the assertion that if the funds of the concern were properly handled they would be able to pay the stockholders before in full and also give 10 cents on the| dollar to every creditor, In addition to these payments, he said {t would have a surplus when all the obligations were met. This, he asserted, could be done within six months if he was permitted to take charge of the company’s affairs. He dened the report of the State Receiver, Thomas F. Gilroy jr, who made the statement that the Fidelity Company held only $22,000 in assets, “What leads you to the conclusion that payment in full will be made?” |asked Frank 1. Crocker, attorney for the creditors who are seeking to estab- | lish that the company did an interstate business. “We are indebted to certain fanks for money loaned to us,” sald Kelran, “but in consideration of those loans we de- posited with the banks demand notes. The collection of these notes with the amounts due ffom open accounts will leave a surplus of $35,000 to be put on the side of assets. To some banks we wave as collateral more than two mil- | Hon dollars’ worth of stocks and bonds, | We pledged these securities at 75 cents jon the dollar, If these bonds and stocks are sold we will have a margin of % per cent. due on the full amount of the securities we deposited, These two Items will be sufficient to meet all our obligations and put us again on our feet.” After the hearing he gave It as his opinion that the realization of all those assets and the reorganization of the company could be accomplished in the period of six months The hearings before the Federal Com. ave been adjourned until 11 x 3%, but in the offices of ‘ompany, at No, 52 Broad- way, State Receiver Gilroy will have a hearing to-morrow, —_—_»___.
