greSS ana or the various departments
so that some men are a little wary OF
figuring too prominently in them as
would be the case should they travel
in Secretary Taft's party. But, fur
thermore. the main purpose of that
trip to further the scheme for free
trade between the mainland and the
archipelago does not meet with cordial
response on every hand. Members of
the House generally are aware that
President Roosevelt will probably whip
them into line for tariff reduction with
the Philippines this winter a part of
them do not think that prospect a
cheerful one. because they are stand
patters and do not want TO bulge an
inch any where, lest it in some fashion
be made an entering wedge for tariff
revision Then the revisionists do not
take kindly to lower duties for the
Philippines as long as Congress is not
likely to lower the duties on products
coming from other countries. And SO
it goes with numerous notifications.
TAFT THE COMING MAN.
But unwelcome as free trade with
+be Philippines would be to Hawaii, il
remains that the visit of Secretary
Taft there will be of some Importance
and there is no telling how important
it NAV prove in the years to come TO
have him as the friend of the Terri
tory. All the best informed politicians
now regard Secretary Taft's chances
for the presidential nomination three
wears from now far better than the
chances of any other man in the run
ming. OF course, it would be temer1ty
TO saw that he is anything like certain
of that great honor. But the lines
are being quietly drawn among the
Presidents most influential friends.
The word is being passed everywhere
that Taft is the coming man.
The Secretary himself is constantly
putting the crown away, but II Is
nevertheless believed that at the proper
time he will become an avowed can
didate and that the old Hanna organ
jization in Ohio will strive to make him
Ohio's favorite son in preference to
Senator Foraker. Mr.. Taft's ambition
70 become Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States is not likely
to he gratified, unless. with advancing
wears Chief Justice Fuller suddenly
decides that he has had enough of &C
tive service. There are, as yet. no
Indications of such decision on the
part of the Chief Justice, notwlthstand-
inc, the frequent asseverations of the
Republican politicians who would like
~ coo come good man of their own par
=, disnlace a Democratic Judge.

FOR ANGEL CITY
BIG PARTY FROM THE EAST TO
RESIDE HERE
Prominent JeWeIer Induces More Than
Three Score Friends to Desert
New York and Come
to California

Word has been received by the cham
Der of commerce that sixty-five promi-
nent business men and their families
from Buffalo and New York, are COM
ing to Los Angeles and will be here
In all probability by October 10. The
men are all members of the Buffalo
chamber of commerce and prominent
in business and civic affairs.
The party will be in charge of Mich
olas Kos, a prominent jeweler of
Buffalo. Mr.. Kos was in Los Angeles
some years ago and his enthusiasm on
the subject of Southern California has
led over seventy-five families to re-
move from the east and come to Cali
fornia to live.
Mr.. Kos determined some months
ago that he would remove to California,
and that we would start in October.
He told his friends of his plan and
many of them asked him to make up
and take charge of a party of people
wishing to locate in California This
he did and the party grew from four
to sixty-five persons.
Not the least interesting feature of
the party is its diversified member
ship, nearly every occupation and pro-
fession being represented in the party.
For instance. Rev. Thomas E. Bell is
a Methodist minister of 445 West Ferry
street. Buffalo; Charles L. Dean, 80
Whitney place, is lawyer; c. H.
Lanctot of So North Ashland avenue
is a building and general contractor
William Haisman of $50 Woodlawn
avenue is a plumber. Occupations of
artist, bricklayer, trained nurse, stem
ographer. boot and shoe dealer and
jeweler are also represented.
Other members of the party are Mr..
and Mrs. Nicholas Kos, Miss Van
Camp, Mrs. Alice NJ. Bick, Mrs. Tall
man. Miss Carrie F. Tallman and Miss
Elizabeth Tallman, Miss Hampton,
Miss Minnie Kurbis. Miss Snyder, Mrs.
Rrohan, J. Wohlgast and family, F.
Phillips, Mrs. Agnes D. Chalmers and
Miss Agnes Chalmers. James Goodman.
Mr.. and Mrs. F. Kos, Miss Kos, Miss
Caroline Kos. Miss Mary Kos. Miss
Victor and Miss L. Kirsch, Mrs. Phil
lips, Mr.. and Mrs John Kuss Mr.. de
Mangeot, Mrs. Gill and son, Mr.. and
Mrs. William c. Stephenson and two
children. Charles L. Dean, Mr. and
Mrs. John Smith and three children,
C. H. Bensler, Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Fl. Rice, Mrs Carey and son, Mr. and
Mrs. H. p. Linnaman and daughter
Adon Miller and wife, Mr.. Max, c.
Robinson, Frank Button and Miss H.
Lemley.
Nearly all of the members of the
party have positions waiting for them,
and they will all resume the line of
work in which they were engaged in
Buffalo. Mr.. Kos says that he be-
lieves that none of the party will re-
turn to the east.
Mr.. Kos now has plans under way
for the formation of a Buffalo club in
Los Angeles and all residents of Los
Angeles who originally came from
Buffalo will be invited to join.
