Washington, Aug. 17.-WhenSec-
retary Taft leaves Washington tomor-
row evening for Columbus, o., where
he will definitely launch his presi-
Dental boom on Monday, he viii
not again be seen In the capital until
he has completed a tour of the world.
He has definitely decided to return
from the Orient by way of the Trans
Siberian railroad across Siberia and
Russia, a route which Mrs. Taft Is
anxious to take on the home trip.
Practical politicians of Washing
ton see in Secretary's Tafts plans
more than desire to "see the coun-
try" IN northern Asia. They inti-
mate that Mr.. Taft has not forgotten
the joyous reception of William Jen-
nings Bryan when he landed in New
York from a tour of the world, and
that the fat secretary of war is pre-
pairing for a similar glorious demon
stration in his favor when he arrives
in New York in December.
Certain It IS that Mr. Taft's friends
and advisers have been quick to ap-
preciate the beauties of such a re-
ception, and the political managers
of the Taft boom are already plan
ming to take full advantage of all the
latent possibilities of the situation
Political boomers have always rec
dsnzed the value which attaches
to foreign travel, and consider that
their candidate already has the nom
ination in his possession when he un-
dertakes a world-tour at the proper
logical time. Absence" reasons

1t is stated that Secretary Taft

From Kentucky Secretary Taft will
proceed to Oklahoma City, passing
through st. Louis and will deliver

SUICIDE OR MURDER.
Mysterious Drowning of q Young
Man at Durham.

Quite a mystery developed at Lake
wood Park, owned by the Durham
Traction Company, this afternoon
when the dead body of a white man,
who proved to be Charles T. Oakley,
whose home is in Orange county, and
who has reen at work for the Singer
Sewing Machine Company and also
collector for the w. R. Murray MI
sic Company of this city, for some
time past, wa found in the lake.
Oakley came here last Sunday and
was stopping at the Biltmore hotel. He
transacted some business matters with
the w. r. Murray Company on Sat
+ urday and spent Sunday and yesterday
up to noon at the hotel, Yesterday he
ate a hearty dinner and walked up
the last seen of him.
The body was floating in a standing
position. When taken out there was
found a cut over one eye, bruises about
the face and nose and abrasions of
the skin On both hands and one wrist.
This seems to indicate that there was
foul play.
Yet it is known that he was despon-
dent on Saturday, was financially en-
barrassed and had to meet obligations
with both the Murray Company and
the Singer Sewing Machine Company,
hat We're impossible to meet at this
time. However, he had some money
with him, yet it cannot be found that
he spent a cent since then, not even
paying his hotel bill, and when found
he had tire cents in his pocket.
Oakley comes from an Orange coun-
ty family. His mother, one brother
and one sister are living. He was
about II years of age. The body will
be taken to Orange county tomorrow
for burial.-Durham special to In
