DIR. TAFTS ITINERARY.
To Spend Full Week IN Ne1o York.

TBy Telegraph to The Tribune ]

Chicago Oct 7.-Wilam H. Taft will spend
full week in New York State. beginning his speak
ing tour at evening meeting in Brooklyn on
October 26. after having spoken during the day in
Connecticut FL will visit all the larger cities. in
cIuding Albany. Rochester, Buffalo and others He
will not visit Georgia and North Carolina. he
had intended but will spend a day two in Ken
lucky and Maryland possibly an enrire day in
West Virginia and will speak in Delaware and
New Jersey. This is the rough outline or the plan
agreed upon by Mr.. Taft in conference with
Chairman Hitchcock to-day.
Chairman Hitchcock said to-day that all the
ports which had reached the national committee
since Mr. Taft began his Western trip
resssuring that no further anxiety felt
garding that section, and in the opinion OF the
committee all that remained TO clinch the Re
pubcanism Of New York New Jersey and other
Eastern States TO insure the election Of Taft and
In accordance with this conviction Mr.
Hitchcock viii spend the month Of October in New
York instead OF in Chicago as was originally
planned.
The uninterrupted prosperity Of the Western
farmers together with their conviction that Will
lam II Taft Is the rightful heir of the Roosevelt
policies has removed all doubt in the opinion OF
the committee regarding every Western ex-
cept Colorado Nevada and Missouri. Moreover
there is every indication that wherever Mr. Taft
has an opportunity to address the wOrkngmen
to assure them that he is the friend of labor and
explain his judicial decisions he wins their
fdence and will receive their votes. and the com
mittee will endeavor to obtain for him S many
opportunities possible to address audiences Of
that character.

SKATING CRAZE STRIKES THE
MISSOURI SCHOOL FOR BLIND

st. Louis. Mo-. Sept. 21.-The stu
dents at the Missouri School for the
Blind have taken to roller skating
and have insisted on Superintendent
S. M. Green moving all the furniture
out OF the gymnasium, which they
have turned into a rink. Half the
older students, both men and women,
spend several hours each day skating
IN the gymnasium. Persons present
would doubt that the young people
were blind. The fact that they skate
without accident or collision is due
to their remarkably developed sense
of hearing.
Since the craze began last week
not one of the skaters has met with
an accident, excepting few falls
which resulted from colliding with
skaters who rolled too fast, losing
track of the speed to be maintained
in the hall. The students glide by
each other as if they could see.
A modified game of football will
be feature of the athletics for the
present term.
