SECRETARY TAFT
BECOMES PRIVATE
CITIZEN TODAY
Takes Off Mantle of Power and
Turns 1t Over to
Wright.
GOES TO HOT SPRINGS
WITH FAMILY FRIDAY
May Not See Washington Again
Until March, if Elected
President.

WASHINGTON, June SO.-This was
William Howard Taft's last day as
Secretary of War. After many years
of distinguished services to his gov
eminent as a justice of United States
courts, as Governor General of the
Philippine Islands, as Secretary of
War, and as the special representative
of the government on several delicate
and important diplomatic missions, he
practically re|linquishes tonight the per-
Torrance, for a time at least, OF duties
as an official of the United States.
The formal transfer of the War De-
partment from the administration of
Secretary Taft to that of Secretary
Luke e. Wright, his successor, will not
take place until tomorrow, but the
work of the department will be brought
up to date by Mr.. Taft before he leaves
his desk this evening, and Secretary
Wright will enter upon his duties to-
morrow with substantially a clean
slate.
Tomorrow he will resume his political
work, with conferences with Frank II.
Hitchcock, the Washington manager
of his preliminary campaign, and with
Arthur l. Vorys, the manager of his
Ohio campaign. These conferences will
relate to the national Craftsmanship of
the Republican party and they promise
to ave an important bearing o the
selection of the campaign directors.
The Taft family will leave here Fri
cay for Hot Springs, Va. where they
will remain until September l.. The
likelihood is that when Mr.. Taft leaves
Washington on Friday it will be not to
return to the national capital until
after the November election, and, in
the event of his election to the presi-
dency he may not return to Washing
ton until two or three days before his
Inauguration on March 4 next.
The information received by Secre-
tary Taft as to the elections in Panama
is reassuring. Indications the that. per
haps on account of the precautionary
measures taken by this government in
the sending of marines to the Isthmus,
no trouble at the general elections will
ensue.

Especial to the Evening Start

WOODBINE, June 30.-The striking
student body of the Baron de Hirsch
Agricultural School was today served
with notice by the faculty thai unless
all returned to their tasks within ff-
teen days they would be dismissed and
that the institution would enroll an
entirely new student body.
The striking students, who have re-
fused to work because they object to
the meals served them, threatened to-
day to prevent any other persons in
c~ultivating the 150-acre farm, and for
that reason the school is now under
armed guard. The Cape May authori-
ties are here as a %precaution against
violence. They are: Robert S. Corson,
sheriff; John K. Sparks, deputy; Wal
ter Hurrell, special deputy; Ernest w.
Lloyd. prosecutor of Cape May Coun-
ty; Floyd Hughes and Thomas w.
Millet, jr., son of ex-Mayor Millet, of
Cape May City, deputies.
The students quit work on the farm
Saturday, serving notice on the super
intendent, Henry w. Geller, that they
would not return until the bill of fare
was improved. They objected to iced
tea at lunch, dried behring's, tough meat
and fried fish"
The strike was precipitated by the
summary dismissal from the school of
a junior student who was found to be
tipping the cook for extra service. Tip
ping Is against the rules. Then a com
mittee of the students called on the
superintendent and demanded the rein
statement of the suspended student.
Instead of complying, the superinten-
dent dismissed four of the committee
from the school, and then all of the
students went on a strike.

endowed by the late Baron de Hirsch.
