Mr. Jerome's announcement that written

OF springing their questions at the meet
ing. If Mr.. Jerome sticks to his original
plan and answers the written questions
first it will be long wait for the inn
patient ones who have posers up their
sleeves Mr.. Jerome said yesterday that
the questions received could be divided
into those OF personal and those OF general
interest and that the latter class could
be further divided into questions about
ioe. traction and Insurance.. One OF the
queries most frequently put Is whether

WASHINGTON, May 24.-President Taft
escaped arrest in the grounds OF the

Just then the President stepped for

policeman in chding the astonished Butt.
Mr.. Taft carefully held his bouquet bshind

Il told you not to do that said the
President in tone Of great severity. Il
told you Uncle Jimmy dhe Secretary of
Agriculture) would have somebody watch

breaking the law. and now you are going
to be arrested"
Butt was not arrested. for by this time
the watchman was as much astonished
as Capt Butt, and he looked first at one
and then the other with IA most puzzled
expression on his face.
About that time the President assumed
a serious tone, and addressing the watch
man in earnest, admitted that they had
been trespassing and promised not to
offend again. The Waterman let the
trespassers go, making many bows as the
President and his aide reentered the auto
