TAFT GOES TO BED
WHILE SUIT DRIES
President Enjoys Immensely His.
Visit to the Yosemite Valley
and Sees 1t All
Resumes Journey Today and
VIII Reach Los Angeles Early
Tomorrow Morning

Ell PORTAL Oct. s-After having
travelled nearly 100 miles by stage and
on foot in and around the Yosemite
valley President Taft returned here to-
night and tomorrow morning will re-
sumo his journey 10 the southwest. He
will stop during the day at Merced
Fresno and Bakersfield and viii reach
Los Angeles early Monday morning.
PRESIDENT GOES TO BED
The president was wringing wet with
perspiratfoh when he reached the foot
of the trail today and had 10 go to bed
at the Sentinel hotel while his clothing
was hung out in the sun to dry. Even
the presidents outer garments were
wet and as he had only the one gray
Norfolk jacket suit with him in the
park he had no alternative than 10 fol-
low in the footsteps of the man who
owned but one shirt and had to go to
bed when the shirt went to the wash.
Taft lunched with Major Forsythe of
the army.
WATCHED THE SUNRISE
The presidents last day in the Yo-
semitic park was probably his most en-
joyabIe. He began the day BY looking
at the sunrise over the eastern granite
walls of the valley, his vantage point
being the veranda OF the little Glacier
Point hotel set right at the very edge
OF a 1000 foot drop into the floor OF
the valley.
The surroundings were rough aud
secluded and the president appeared in
scant attire Having seen the sun
properly up and at its duty Taft retired
gain and slept until o'clock.
STANDS TRIP WE'LL
The 7.40O foot altitude did not seem
to affect him in the least. In fact. the
president has stood the long rides and
early hours of the Yosemite trip almost
better than any member Of his party
After so miles of staging il YESTERDAY
he sat up until 10:30 D m playing
a friendly game of bridge with Gov
ernor Gillett of California. Representa-
