Senator Foraker.
I0ING TO MASSACHUSETTS
President and Mrs Roosevelt Will
Leave This Afternoon to Visit
Their Two Sons.

PRESIDENT Roosevelt went on with MS
usual work today. and there was no holi-
day in the executive offices because of the
anniversary of the birth of Washington
number Of congressional visitors were
received, and with these the President dis
cussed a variety of subjects Senators
Hepburn. Hansbrough, Hopkins, Patterson,
Gamble Warner and Piles were among
these.
Senator Warner recommended to uhS
President the nomination of Col. David P.
Dyer, now United States attorney at st.
Louis. as judge of the eastern district Of
Missouri. to succeed Gustavus A. Finkeln-
burg. who has handed In his resignation.
Judge Finkelnburg has been on the federal
district bench since 1905. He has not found
the duties satisfactory or pleasing. and has
resigned. Col. Dyer has served nearly two
terms as United States attorney of the
same district.
He is a well-known republican Of the state
and ranks high as a lawyer. 1t Is stated
that there is some objection to Col. Dyer
by those who believe that some one former
ly less identified with politics would be bet
ter. but it is presumed the President will
follow the recommendation of Senator War
ner. In whom he has great faith.
Senator Hepburn also discussed judge
ship vacancy in Idaho, presenting ]. F.
Ailshie. chief justice of the supreme court
of Idaho. Justice Ailshie is highly spoken
of in his state. Senator Hepburn says he
has not yet made a recommendation, and
Is so far combining himself to receiving the
application of candidates and filing these
with the President. Later he will make
recommendation.
Alabama democrats talked to the Pres-
dent about judgeship in that state, Con-
judge owing to the increased business.
Representatives Banknead and Taylor,
democrats, told the President that they
would like to see a representative man ap-
number of candidates Representative
Richardson of Alabama, democrat, has also
talked with the President, introducing one
of the candidates.
President Going to Massachusetts,.
President and Mrs. Roosevelt. Represen-
tative and Mrs. Longworth and Miss Ethel
Roosevelt will leave Washington at 5:35
o'clock this afternoon on the Federal Ex-
press for Massachusetts, where they will
visit the two sons of the President-Theo-
dore. jr. who is in Harvard. and Kermit.
who is in the school at Groton. preparing
for admission to Harvard. After spending
two days with the boys the party will re-
turn to Washington Sunday night, reach
ing here Monday morning in time for the
President to resume work in his offices.
The President will make an important ad-
dress tomorrow afternoon before the Har-
ward Union. His speech will touch upon sew
eral very important subjects.

and consular appropriation bill. the first of
the regular supply measures to be acted on
by Congress.
Virginia Colored Man for Consul.
Representative Slemp of Virginia intro
duced to the President today W. H. C.
Brown. colored attorney at Norfolk. Mr.
Slemp. who is the patronage dispenser for
Virginia. asked the nomination of Brown
United States consul at Guadalouge to
succeed DIR. Bowen, formerly of Norfolk,
who became persona non grata to the gov
ernor of the Guadalupe Islands and had
to resign. The President sent his visitors
to Secretary Root, and said he would have
no objection to the appointment if it was
satisfactory to the State Department. DR..
Bowen, formerly a druggist at Norfolk,
seems to have become mixed in some po-
liticai fight in Guadalupe and had to give
up his position. The consulship is now
vacant. The Virginia republicans think
the position ought to go to them.
Three Cincinnati Nominations.
Senator Foraker has sent to the President
recommendations for the nominations of
Amor Smith. jr., as surveyor of customs;
Charles A. Bosworth. as subtreasurer and
E. r. Monfort as postmaster at Cincinnati,
all reappointments Postmaster Monfort
President told him he would send to the
Senate the nominations requested. Repre-
sentative Longworth agreed with Senator
Foraker as to the Cincinnati postmaster.
Senator Foraker did not visit the White
House to make the recommendations being
too much engaged at the Capitol
Marshal Adams to Have Another Term
After a long fight before the Department
of Justice and at the White House, United
taf of 70 fpo
has convinced the President that the
charges made against him were not true
and that he ought to have another term.
The name of Marshal Adams will be sent
to the Senate next week.
There were a number of candidates for
the position, including Maj. John F. Jones
of Blacksburg and w. W. Russell Of An
derson. If the charges against Adams had
been proven, the chances favored Jones'
selection
