SECRETARY TAFT WILL RESIGN
HIS PORTFOLIO OF WAR TODAY

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-Secretary
Taft's resignation as cabinet Officer
will be received by President Roose-
welt tomorrow. 1t will take effect on
July /. This was learned tonight, fol-
lowing a conference of several hours
at the White House, at which Mr..
Roosevelt Secretary Taft, Secretary
Root and Assistant Secretary of State
Bacon were present.
After the conference Mr.. Taft was
greeted by "a dozen newspaper corre-
spondents who desired to learn of his
plans.
1.-THE president wants me to leave q
clean slate for my successor" said the
war secretary, "and 1t win take me at
least ten days to settle all pending
matters in the war department. I have
no definite plans tonight as to when !
will leave Washington"
Mr.. Taft intimated 1t would be within
few days. He will attend the thir-
tieth anniversary OF the Yale class OF
'78, with which he graduated. He will
be in New Haven on Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday of the coming
week.
Asked as to his views on the vice
presidential question, the nominee for
the presidency was non-committal. He
asked for the latest news from Chi
cago as to who would be his probable
running mate. Upon being told there
was a movement in favor OF Fair
banks, he remarked:
''Thlngs seem to be in a chaotic state
in Chicago with regard to the vice
presidency"
During the conference at the White
House several kilograms were sent to
Chicago, and Mr.. Taft intimated he
was expecting responses from these
which would materially affect his plans
for the immediate future.

would only take seventeen days to
bring merchandise of a high class
from the Atlantic slope through the
Panama ship canal. AS an instance
he told of shipper who brings mer-
chandise from Antwerp, probably H.
GJu miles by water, cheaper than the
railroad rate from San Francisco to
San Pedro. What would be the posi-
bilities of San Pedro harbor when, with
all water transportation, the cheapest
in the world, merchandise could be
brought from the east in seventeen
days at from Is to 20 per cent Of the
railroad rates, he asked. The board
must plan greater harbor for a
greater commerce than any other har-
Dor on the, Pacific coast, he declared.
He also called attention to the fact
that the great circle Of Oriental navi-
CATION passes within seventy miles of
San Pedro, and this vast traffic in big
shipping could hardly pass Southern
California without making San Pedro
q port of call. 1t would be a necessary
incident to the new conditions produced
in the Panama canal zone.
That Forty-Foot Bridge
There should be, therefore, no re-
duction in the size of east basin as II
would be the center of slips driven
thousands of feet into the land and
would be a maneuvering ground for a
gigantic commerce. The space should
not be contracted.
Speaking of the "forty-foot draw
bridge" mentioned in the Southern Pa
cific communication, he said twenty
years ago he came from Europe on the
City of Rome, a ship approximately
500 feet long, and then a monster.
Now, he said, the ships for ocean trav-
ell are approximately 800 feet and are
70 feet wide. What q spectacle 1t
would be to provide forty-foot gate
way for four miles Of harbor facilities
with a shipping that was constantly
increasing in size, especially when
these newer types drew fifty-f1ve feet
of water. He did the Southern Pacific
Justice in saying that they had not
stopped to think of what the harbor
means. In fact, the trouble was that
the harbor had not been studied in
