 The effort of Springfield to have President Taft stop there for q short time on his way to Ticonderoga from this city has resulted in the following statement from the president. accord ing to a Washington despatch: Representative Gillett called at the White House and extended to Presi- dent Taft the invitation of Springfield to visit the city on July 5, when the safe and sane Fourth will be repeated. The president declared that he would be pleased to stop over at the city if the time schedule of his train taking him from Norwich, Ct, to Ticonderoga, where he will attend. the Champlain tercentenary celebration, permitted. It was discovered, however, that the plans provide for the president being in Nor wich a whole day to attend the cele- bration there, and, that he would not pass through Springfield until o'clock in the morning of July 6. So his being in Springfield to witness any of the Fourth of July celebration is preclud- ed.
 For him to pass through Springfield T -. I,-r ,fr..-~ -rrfT mean that he will leave here very ear ly, and in all probability his car will be attached to the early morning boat train, which goes through here about 5.30 o'clock.
 There was a meeting of the historical committee F. P. Gulllfer chairman, at the Buckingham Memorial on Friday afternoon, at which there was a long discussion upon what places are to be marked by the committee. It Is the idea to place markers upon all the his- torical points of interest, but just where to draw the line is bothering the committee somewhat, as there is an endless number of graves, histor- icaI places and localities, if they should go Into every detail that suggests it. self. They have not perfected the list of places to be marked as yet, but they will mark the graves of the orig inal proprietors, their places, histor- teal sites and buildings and the graves of prominent persons, similar to what was done during the old home week. It is expected, however, that more per 1nanent markers will be adopted this time. so that the points will be so des- ignated for some time. The commit tee will have another meeting next week.
 On Friday afternoon the sub-comnit- tee of the ways and means committee held another short meeting, at which additional subscriptions were reported and teh list will be printed next week. Fairly good res ponses are being made by the citizens.
