ship Fleet to Hampton Roads On
Its Return from Pacific Until Pres

MFR. George F. Adams. who accom-
panied the special committee TO
Washington to interview the secre-
tary OF navy relative to having the
Atlantic fleet return to Hampton
Roads upon its return of the world
circling trip next February, returned
to Old Point yesterday morning.
Mr.. Adams said the committee
waited upon Secretary Metca!f and
was most cordially received by that
official. The secretary was unable
TO give any definite promise 10 tn"
committee to send the fleet here, but
informed the gentlemen that the mat
ter will b, taken up as soon as Pres
iient Roosevelt returns to Washing
ton from Oyster Bay Mr. Metcaif
said Mr.. Roosevelt will reach the
White House on September p. and
then tho committee will again visit
Washington.
While in Washington the commit
tCrmen pointed out to Secretary Met
calf the sentimental reason at least
why the big fighters should be or
dcrcd back to Hampton Roads I'M
mcdiatcly upon its return from the
trip around the world 1t was ar

1t was shown that the officials IN

friends and relatives of the men and
officers on the ships would be GER
tain to find Hampton Roads much
more central point.
The attention Of Mr.. Metcalf was
further directed to the splendid pa
radc grounds on the site OF the
jamestown Exposition. which would
be the means of Offering a great pa
radc, in which the officers and en-
listed sailors and marines could par
ticipate and be formally welcomed
back TO home by hundred thousand
people.
Mr.. Metcalf listened very atten-
lively 10 the calims of the commit
tee and expressed his pleasure at
meeting the Virginians, but further
than this he could do or say nothing
until he confers with the Presia' Mt.
1t was made absolutely clear that the

MRS ELIZABETH {. MAHER
DIES IN RICHMOND
Well Known Former Hampton Wom-
ans End Came Yes

Mrs. Elizabeth c. Maher. widow OF
the late Mr.. John B. Maher, OF Fort
Monroe. died in her residence. 80
North Thrty-sccond street. in Rich
mond, at 6 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. Ilrs. Maher was i'll only few
days. having suffered a stroke of

Iple. whose services to the whole peo'
pie were beyond all price"
As to railroad regulation, the Presf-
dent promises on lshailf of his pro-
posed heir to the presidency that a
fair working arrangement will be de-
vised whereby profits to the stock
holder, rates to the shipper and wages
of the employe shall be equitable anf
reasonable, each 20 lie other two.
This would seem to be pretty robust
lob to be undertaken by the executive
department OF the national govern
ment.
Much space Is devoted by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to a discussion Of Mr..
Taft's attitude toward wage workers.
and it Is probable that the hostility to
MIR. Taft which has developed In the
ranks of the workingmen in various
parts of the country was the primary
consideration impelling the President
to lend his protege helping hand at
this time. Indeed, the writer OF the
letter attempts to show that Judge
Taft's use OF the injunction in res
traint of labor organizations was real
Iy for the good of the laboriFg men
Themselves, and that his bombastic
proclamation that the trains on the
Cincinnati. Hamilton and Dayton
Railroad shall run If it requires the
whole military forces CT the United
States to get them through was
nothing more nor less than an ebulli-
ton of benevolent solicitude for the
striking employees material and inter
lectual advancement.
President Roosevelt declares that
Mr.. TAFT is not the man to promise
much and do little Mr.. Taft. he says,
may lie depended upon to accomplish
more than he gives advance notice OF.
and stra' ghtway Mr.. Roosevelt pro-
ceeds to promise more on behalf OF
his understudy than any mortal man
would be capable of performing.
The letter asserts that Mr.. Roose-
velt's policies are likewise the policies
of Mr.. Taft. Some people will re-
cali that one OF the Presidents 'po-
licics" and one OF his most notable
official acts was to call off the prose
cutiun that Messrs. Harmon and Har-
mon, special attorneys general. were
about to institute against Paul Nor
ton. the Presidents secretary Of the
navy. who had been caught red hand
ed in repeated violations of the RAFT
road anti-rebate law during his con-
nection In an official capacity with the
Santa Fee system. 1t is also E.story
that President Roosevelt subsequently
gave Paul Morton a written "csrtiii-
cate Of character" almost as extraVa-
CANT and fulsome In terms Of COM
, mendation as Is the the recent uocu'
ment in praise OF Mr.. Taft.
One naturally wonders IL this is one
of my Policies" TO which Mr.. Taft
will fall willing heir should he b"
successful at the polls.
