WASHINGTON. March IL. - President
RoJseyelt's contemplated western trip was
a subject Of some discussion az the White
House today. Senators Long OF Kansas and
Hopkins Of Illinois and Fourth Assistan;
Postmaster General Bristow talked with
the president about his tour.
The Kansas people are urging the presi
dent to make some stops in their state
after the dedication Of the exposition
grounds on April 30. Few details Of the
itinerary have been worked out.
II has been decided with practical def
niteuess that only one trip will be made.
While no date for the beginn.ng Of the trip
can be hNed definitely until the senate
shall have adjourned. it is expected now
that 1t will not be far from April /.
After leaving Washington the president
will not return TO Washington until some
time in June. II is now likely that the
FIRST two or three weeks OF the trip will
be passed principally in the Yellowstone
park. There the president will seek rest
and recreation and it is understood that he
will do a little hunting.
Decision on Crum.
The senate committee on today
decided to postpone action on the nomina-
ton Of DR.. William Crum to be collector
OF the port at Charleston. s. c., until next
Thursday. The suggestion for postpone
ment was made by Senator Clay. There
are a number Of vacancies on the commit
tee and II is urged that the committee
should not act until these are filled. 1t is
now believed by the opponents Of Crum
that another meeting OF the committee will
not be held during the present session.
