TAFT FL|TS AWAY
TO VIRGINIA HILLS
Seeks Rest and Relief
From Influenza and
Callers.
Leaves for ST. Louis Tues
day To Address Millers
Convention.

1t appears that there are moments IN
the life of a supposed Presidential can
didate when he 2refers to be alone-at
least FAR from the madding crowd"
William H. Taft. Secretary of War
and Presidential candidate, suddenly
grabbed up his handbag yesterday ar
ternoon, rushed out the back door, so to
speak, leaving a lot OF callers in the
front hail. and climbed aboard a train
for the quiet. peaceful. and pastoral
hills ana valleys OF old Virginia. The
pressure had become too great within
The last few days. and he dropped his
work 10 slip out among the robins and
the dandeiiOns.
The Secretary went down TO oakland.
a little aristocratic settlement, near
Leesburg. to spend Sunday. He was ac-
oompanied by Mrs. Taft. At OAKLAND
they will be the guests till Monday
morning Of Mr.. and Mrs William Cor
coran Eustis. of this city.
Every Day Busy.
It has been many months since the
Secretary OF War has been able to
spend an uninterrupted week in the city.
Wednesday, he returned from New
Haven. where he had attended a meet
ing or the Yale Corporation, and next
Tuesday night he will leave for St
Louis. to deliver an address before the
convention of the American Millcrs' Ma
uonal Association. He has just COM
pleted the speech he Is to deliver there,
and attempted TO make some Roadway
on the first Of the several other Speeches
he is 10 deliver throughout the West in
June, but the endless string of callers
has made it impossible for him to make
any progress.
In the meantime, the work of his Office
has piled up heavily. and he has been
burning the midnight electricity, either
in his Office or with a stenographer al
home. Yesterday mis- outer offices and
reception room were crowded with visi-
tors from Senators to tourists. Others
possibly. wished to drop in and assure
him of their support. in order TO get
in on the ground floor in case the Sec
rotary should be transferred TO the
White House.
A Little Influenza.
The freakish weather of the last few
days that set Uncle Joe" Cannon 10
sneezing and Senator PettUs 70 using
Latin after visiting the President, has
presented Secretary Taft with a mild
case of influenza.
The Secretary had a mild touch OF the
malaria a few weeks ago. brought on
by similar conditions, and he resorted
TO a like cure. Accompanied by Mrs.
Taft and a few intimate friends, he took
q voyage down the Potomac and up the
James river. The cure was affected that
time by rest and the ozone Of the sea
This time he is trusting to the mountain
air and green fields for recreation and
health.

MILITIA REQUIRED TO
Be EQUAL OF
ARMY
All Governors Are Notified
of Proposed Enforcement
of Dick Militia Act.
FAILURE MEANS NO
MONEY FROM FUNDS

Washington. d. c., June 11.-Act-
ing Secretary of War Oliver has ad-
dressed a letter, notifying the gov
ernors of all states and territories
that on January 81 next under the
terms of the Dick militia act, all
militia organizations must conform
to the discipline of the regular and
volunteer armies, and a failure to
meet this statutory requirement Will
result in debarring the state from the
use of its allotment in the annual
appropriation of two million dollars
for the support of the militia.
On War Footing Now.
Most of the state and territorial
militia officers have anticipated this
requirement and already have their
companies on military footing. There
will be a few. If any. states that will
not participate in the division of the
funds, according to officials of the
war department.
