LEFT FOR NEW YORK
MATTERS DEMANDING sECKE.
TARY TAFT,S ATTENTION.

Secretary TAT. left Washington at Q
O'Clock this morning for New York. accom-
panied by Capt MeIntre. acting chief or
the bureau of insuIar affairs. The Secre-
tary has on hand In New York some i'm
portant matters Of official business. In the
first place. he Is to confer with some New
York capitalists regarding the bids for the
construction of railroads In Luzon. BIDS
for that work have been under considera-
ton by the War Department for several
weeks past. and with the assistance of capt.
McIntire the Secretary hopes to be able to
finally make an award
Another matter of business requiring the
Secretary's attention IS the meeting OF the
Prison Martyrs Memorial association. For
that memorial the national government has
appropriated 100000 the Prison Martyrs
Association $4,000 and the city Of New
York $4,000 making a total OF 500 eoo.
There is danger that the c.ty's approprfa-
ton may be covered into the state treasury,
and Secretary Taft hopes to have a confer
ence in New York with the members Of
the association. and perhaps with Gov
Higgins, with the purpose of securing an
extension from the state legislature or the
period of time within which the money
may be expended.
a Family Council.
But the most interesting feature of Sec
rotary Taft's visit to New York Will De
the family council which viii finally de-
termine whether not the Secretary shal
accept the Presidents tender Of place on
the Supreme Court bench. Mr.. Henry Taft
Is resident of New York, and Mr.. Charles
Taft has been summoned from Cincinnati
to meet the Secretary and his brother to-
enorrow or perhaps tonight to consider tins
matter. 1t Is expected that the Secretary
will announce his decision when he returns
to Washington ON Friday.
AS indicated In yesterdays Star, the I'M
preston prevails among Secretary Taft
most intimate friends that although he Will
not announce his final decision until after
his return from New York he has practf-
cally concluded to sink his personal prefer
ences in the matter and abide by the Presi-
dent - wishes for his transfer from the cabi-
net to the SlIDreme bench
