the repatriation of French Canadians.

these were called in and stored.
Later the government decided to dis.

armory, and public auction was held.
Reuben Daw, the Georgetown gun
smith, attended the sale and bought a

shipped to his home. He sold a few

ROOSEVELT PLANS dam BILL IS VETOED
PRESIDENT INTENDS TO MAKE
FOREIGN TOUR ON LEAv-
ING OFFICE.
Alaska Trip for Big Game Must
Await Return to This Country-As
to Politics, 1t is Said President Will
Simply Be Interested Observer"

washington, April 13.-ShOuld Pres
ident Roosevelt's present desire be
realized he will spend the first year
after his retirement from office in
travel outside the United States. Mr..
Roosevelt's itinerary has not been de-
termined. His plan is to see some of
the rugged and little frequented por-
tons of foreign lands as well as to
travel the beaten track of the tourist.
That the president will indulge in his
fondness for hunting big game is be-
lieved by those to whom he has con-
fided his intentions.
1t was at the recent dinner of the
Boone and Crockett Club in this city
that the president last told of his in
tentions for next year. He was told
of the opportunities for hunting in
Alaska and urged to arrange a trip
there. This, he said, would interfere
with his plan for foreign travel and
would have to be considered, if at all,
at some future time.
To Stop Criticism
President Roosevelt is quoted as add
ing at this time:
If William H. Taft is nominated
and elected president, which would be
very gratifying, it would make i'm
possible criticism if I were abroad, to
the effect that was debating to him,
or that l had dictated and had been
turned down in MY suggestions"
Plans for the occupancy the coming
summer of the presidents Sycamore
Hill home are under consideration and
it is expected "the summer capital at
Oyster bay will be opened for business
before the end of June. 1t is the presi-
dents intention to remain at the White
cago convention have been received,
but it is likely that Mrs. Roosevelt
and the children will be settled in the
old estate before the president reaches
there.
Quiet Will Prevail.
1t is predicted that the usual regime
of "quiet" will prevail at Oyster bay.
Secretary Loeb is working out the old
plans for keeping the calling list down
to the minimum and nothing but the
most important business will be al
lowed to come over the direct White
House wire and through the special
mail pouch from Washington.
AS to the politics, the president will
be simply an interested observer"
and politicians will find no cause to
make pilgrimages to Sycamore Hill.
Before the return from the summers
outing the president will undoubt-
eddy have prepared his last annual
message to congress, besides doing
many other important tasks, all of
which are made to fit into his perfected
plans of rest and recreation.
