PRESIDENT TAFTS FIRST
SUNDAY AT SUMMER CAPITAL
Doesn't Seem to Mind Excessive Heat-.-At=
tends Church in the Morning and Passes
The Afternoon at His Beverly Home.

November Anything he can legitimate
ly do to help the party in the state, it
is said, will be done. Several admins
tration officers. and possibly a cabinet
minister or two. will make speeches
during the Virginia campaign.
President Taft is giving serious con
sideration to the strained situation be
tween Japan and China over the Mukden-
Antung Railroad. The matter has not
reached a crisis. In the event OF viola
ton of treaty rights being lodged against
either party it is believed the matter will
become question for consideration by
all the powers. The United States will
have a hand in whatever is done. The
President definitely has decided that ne
VIII not make any appointments to the
beEch of the customs court provided for
in the new tariff bill. While authorM-
ing the court. Congress failed to make
an appropriation for the judges or any
officials. There was objection on the part
of the senators to the $4,000 salaries hXed
for the judges and when the appropria-
ton was under consideration in the ur-
gent deficiency bill the figure was cut to
$1,000 If the President should appoint
judges under present conditions, he would
have to fix their salaries. This he does
| not wish to do. In fact he has no desire
| to antagoniZe Congress in the matter in
any way.
| AS to the objection that $4,000 salary
uould give the customs judges, great
er compensation than that enjoyed by the
| United States circuit judges, the Presl-
dent is said to feel that the higher figures
| should prevail in both cases. The task
of selecting five experts to form tarlt1
commission under the new law has been
| turned over to Secretary of the Treas
ury McVeagh. These experts are intend
ed primarily to assststhe President with
| in formation and inquiries as to the ad-
jministration of the maximum and mini
mum provison of the new law. Secreta-
Try McVeagh is expected in Beverly the
latter part of the week, Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock, who is to spend his sum-
mer vacation at Mr.. McVeagh's place
linear Dublin, N H., is expected to accom-
pany the secretary of the treasury on his
visit
| President Taft told several of his call
ers today that he did not expect to do
| any active work on his message to Con-
gress until after he returns to Washing
| ton in November. Mr.. Taft has had the
general outline of his message in mind
| for some time Several of the cabinet
officers are working on the details of the
| various provisions and will report their
conclusions to the President.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 8.-BeVerly was
hot today, almost as hot a. Washing
ton. but President Taft spent Il lazy
Sunday and did not seem to mind the
more than 80 in the shade. He began
the first sabbath of his vacation by
going to the Unitarian church The ser
vices began at 1890 and the President
was a little late in reporting to the
pew assigned to him Miss Helen Taft
ard cant. Archibald Butt We're the on
Nv other members of his party. Through
the early hours of the long, hot alter
noon, the President sat on the broa'i
yeranda of his cottage overlooking tne
sail-dotted ocean and read "rhe Great
ness and Decline of Rome" ny the ms
torian Ferrara. who spent week at
the White House with Mr. Roosevelt.
Near sunset the President took long
motor ride with Mrs. Taft. After dln-
ner he again sought tie cool of the YER
andas.
| Mr.. Taft has several matters of Oil
cial business before him during the
coming week. He is going to dispose or
| the matter of census Supervisors
throughout the entire United States.
|
gel and Census Director Durand are
coming to Beverly the latter part OF
the week and will bring with them a
/ list of names of formidable length. BY
the time they leave the President hopes
to announce his position.
The President has fixed finally upon
the policy to pursue with reference to
census appointments in the South. In
the states which are solidly Democratic
the President will divide the appoint
ments equally among the Democrats
and Republicans.
| He will insist that the appointees
shall not be active partisans, but capa-
Bile men.
| From the so-called solid South the
| President has picked out North Caro-
! lima, Tennessee, Kentucky and Nilsson
| ri as dehatable states and will place
them on the same footing as Northern
states giving all of the census positions
| to Republicans The states where the
division between Democrats and Re-
! puhlicans will be made are Virginia,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala
bama Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana
and Texas.
As to Virginia, the President is rep
resented as believing that the bitter
ness of the recent primary fight in that
state between Harry St George Tuck
er and Judge Mann for the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination will give the
Republicans an opportunity to make
an excellent showing at the polls next
