President Roosevelt went to his office this
morning shortly after 8 o'clock and got
down to routine Official work prior to the
assembling Of the Cabinet. The President
spent some time with Acting Secretary
Rudolph Forster before visitors began to
como in. Mr.. Forster had the mail and
delayed business assorted SO that the Presi-
dent could quickly attend to 1t. Secretary
Loeb is in the west on a hunting trip.
One of the first visitors was United States
onsul Skinner. at Marseilles, France. and he
was followed by others. among them the
Presidents pastor, Rev. John NJ. Schick.
President Roosevelt, accompanied by Mrs.
Roosevelt, Miss Ethel, Archie and Quentin.
arrived in Washington yesterday afternoon
at 40 O'Clock. They were met at the
depot by a number Of friends, and pro-
ceeded at once to the White House. There
were no demonstrations at the depot or
along the streets.
Conferences Last Night.
The President plunged into work almost
Immediately upon getting to the White
House. He had conferences last night with
Senior Quesada, the Cuban minister. and
about 10 o'clock Secretary Root and Attor-
ney General Moody arrived and were with
tLc IEeSlucHt uHlil ABOUT Midnight. Inc
Cuban question was the principal one under
discussion, as 1t was again today at the
cabinet meeting, but the prosecution OF the
Standard Oil cases was talked over. Mr..
Moody Is believed to have given the Presi-
dent details Of his plans for further prose-
cutions of these and other trust cases. He
has been having long conferences with As
sistant Attorney General Purdy and Messrs.
Kellogg and Morrison, the special counsel in
the Standard OIL cases. They have been en-
gagged in collecting the evidence to be used
in the prosecutions and other steps to be
taken.
There is strong ground for believing that
the Attorney General has now begun some
Investigations against the Sugar Trust with
q view of starting proceedings against that
giant concern.
italian Naval Officers.
The President received a call this MORN
ing from Admiral CALI Capt. Mazzinghi
and Lieut.. Casane Of the Italian cruiser
Fieramosca. which has been visiting Wash
ington for some time. The cruiser is soon
to leave port and go to New York to take
part in the unveiling of an Italian statue
in that city and the officers desired to
shake hands with the chief executive. The
officers were introduced by Lieut.. COM
mander Albert Key, L. 8. N. and Lieut.
Carlo Pdster. naval attache and charge
d'afaires Of the italian embassy. The visi-
tors were delighted with their cordial re-
ception.
Representative Gaines called to arrange
for the reception of q party Of Tennessee
girls who are in Washington.
Fagin to Be Removed.
President Roosevelt has decided to re-
move Vivian ]. Fagin. United States mar
shall Of the southern district of Ohio and a
man Of many troubles. Fagin has proven
a strenuous official, handy in the use of his
fists, so much so that a grand jury has
brought an indictment against him. There
were number of charges against Fagin,
and the Investigations made by the De-
partment of Justice all resulted in the de-
termination that the government would be
better off withoutssuch a fighting official.
Attorney General Moody recently passed
the papers to the President, who quickly
reached the conclusion that 1t would be
best to get rid of the marshal, which he
win probably order done today.
Among the charges against Fagin were
some filed by the civil service commission.
Fagin was accused of having employees
under him make heavy campaign contribu-
tons. It was proven. however. that this
occurred some time ago and was barred
by the statute Of limitations.
Fagin Is said to have been so handy with
his fists that one of his victims is still in q
hospital.
Another Marshal Removed.

removal OF another marshal. He is B. F.
O,Neal Of the western district OF louisiana
The only statement made by the Depart
ment of Justice is that ONeal was general
ly unfit for office, and that 1t was decided
that some other man would fill the posi-
ton much better.
@ Going to Harrisburg.
President Roosevelt will spend Thursday
in Pennsylvania. He will leave here Thurs
day morning at 7:5O o'clock and go to Har-
risburg. where he will make an address on
the occasion of the dedication of the new
state capitol. On his return to Washing
ton he will stop at York to attend a fair.
and will leave there in the afternoon after
o'clock. reaching here about 7:3O o'clock
So far as now known the President does
not contemplate going away from Wash
ington again for many weeks, or at lea st
when he will go to Oyster Bay to cast his
vote for Hughes. the republican nominee
for governor.
Noisy for the President.
The President returned to the White
House to find a number Of workmen still
engaged In the repairs on the roofs of the
east and west terraces which were so poor
ly put in when the White House was re-
constructed two years ago that they had
begun to leak badly. The east terrace was
supposed to have been made all right during
the summer, but leaks still appear. and it
looks as II great deal more work must
be done before water Is properly disposed
Of. The west terrace. which adJoins the ex-
ecutive offices, is still undergoing repairs.
The hauling and shoveling Of sand. gravel
and cement, and the mixing and placing OF
these materials, together with other noises
do not serve to give the President much
quiet. 1t 10 not expected that the President
will be pleased that he is compelled to listen
to these noises for some time to come.
Portions Of the White House have been
thrown, open to the public for the first time
in more than three months The east room
has been overhauled. and so have the par
Tors and state dining room These will
prove attractive to visitors and Washington
people.
Tennis Court Ready.
The tennis court in the rear of the White
House efflces has been put in readiness for
the President. who finds more recreation
and exercise In that pastime than in any
/ other except horseback riding. Ambassad
