II the usual fate overtakes Secretary
Taft when he comes up the Atlantic
coast on his way home he may arrive
in Washington too late for the Presi-
dent TO make use OF the Mayfiowcr
for his trip to Hampton Roads for the
opening of the jamestown Exposition.
The Secretary usually encounters severe
storms that make everyone sick except
himself.
Secretary Taft made two previous
trips 20 Panama and one to Cuba. Each
OF the three times a severe gale seemed
to be lying in wait for him, either 6:
the North Carolina and Virginia capes
or the Florida coast. At any rate,
never yet has he missed a severe shake
up on his homeward trip. The Score
tary's friends, considering the freakish
turns of tho weather the past few days,
are wondering whether there is any
possibility OF his escaping a storm this
time.

visited Panama. and on his return he
was IN one Of the most severe gales
of the season for two days. as he came

The other is that they believe the i'm
mense values of their terminals in large
cities will make their total property
holdings so valuable that they viii be
shown actually TO be undercapitalized to-
day.
The reason for this is apparent enough.
Terminal properties in most cases were
bought at low prices, and in many cases
cost nothing at all Since then the
cities have grown up around these ter
minals, and little account has been
taken Of the huge increment which the
growth of the cities has added 70 the
value of the terminals. II Is known,
however, from the experience OF com
panies that have been compelled to buy
lands for terminals in cities in recent
years, that Ire terminals are often
worth more and would cost more to re-
produce, than all the rest of the prop
erty. The companies want a fair pres
ent appraisal Of these values, and be-
lieve il will prove that they are not
excessively capitalized.
