Places on Grand Tour.

Beverly, Mass. Aug. 11.-President

of the Essex Country club today de-
termined to wipe out the defeat he and
John Hays Hammond suffered last
Monday at the hands Of Gen. Adelbert
Ar,es and w. J. Boardman of Wash
5tngton. The president yesterday beat
Hammond over the 1s-hole course at
+ AiSopia by three-up, 5l
Secy, Carpenter had an extended con-
ference today with representatives of
the New York Central railroad, who
are making the detailed arrangements
4 for the presidents trip through the
west and south. AS "a result Of the
conference some changes have been
made in the time of arrival and de-
parture from various places. 1t has
been found that the president can re-
main in Los Angeles two nights in
stead OF one and be able to reach
Grand Canon In time to spend an entire
day there. The president. therefore,
will spend Oct. II and IL In Los An
geles, leaving that city the morning OF
Oct. Is. Mr.. Taft will visit his sister
In Los Angeles, which accounts for the
longer stop he will make there than at
some other coast city. 81.

From all parts of Utah during the
past two days there has come such all
abundance Of flowers that, to use the
expression OF Mrs Elizabeth Cohn,
chairman of the flower committee. the
committee has been fairly W swanlped
under theSniass. From yesterda until
today something over a ton In wei hti

CHICAGO STEEL RAILWAY
co. ANXIOUS FOR PEACE

Chicago, Aug. 11.--Efforts to bring
about a peaceful settlement of the
dispute between the street companies
of this city and their employees were
resumed today with renewed vigor, and
while no definite action was expected
to result from two conference sched-
Euled to be held in the afternoon, it
was hoped that the negotiations would
clear away many obstacles which have
thus far blocked the way to a solu-
ton of the problem. Union officials
were still firm in their demand for a
modification of the wage schedule pro-
posed by the traction officials to in
clude in the maximum scale OF 30 cents
an hour all men who had been with the
companies 10 years instead OF only
those with 10 years experience. While
reluctant to grant any further conces-
5sions to the men. the street car officials
were apparently willing to accede to
this demand II it can be done with
out paving the way for additional con-
scessions.
