President Taft and His Family in Their White Steamer

When their labors were completed,
the officials reported unanimously to
Mr.. Taft in favor of the White, and,
accordingly, car of this make was i'm
mediately ordered from the manufac-
turers, The White Company of Cleve-
land
The new car was delivered to Mr..
Taft in Washington few days before
his Inauguration and since that time it
has been in almost constant use. There
has not been a day when the president
or some members of his family have
not been seen riding around the nation
al capital in the new car. 1t is limited
that Mr.. Taft likes fast travelling and
that when he rides out into the open
country, he does not always insist that
the speed of the car be kept within the
legal limits.
c. A. Hawkins, manager of the Pa
cific coast branch of The White Com
pany, 1470 Market street, San Fran
cisco, said recently to a correspondent
of this paper: 1--WE are receiving
many inquiries each day asking for full
details regarding the construction of
Mr.. Taft's car and in reply we are
sending copies of our catalog. Mr..
Taft's car is exactly like any other

Big Time This Summer.
The nations war veterans, and the
sons and wives and daughters of them,
are carrying out big plans for represen-
tation at the Alaska Yukon-P Pacific ex-
position. The military order of the
Loyal Legion has preempted five acre
tract on the exposition grounds and is
establishing upon it patriotic head
quarters. The Grand Army Of the Re-
public will be represented and SO will
the Sons of Veterans, the Ladies of the
G. A. r. and the Women's Relief Corps.
Early in the year the Loyal Legion
entered into correspondence with the
War department at Washington with
the result that it has secured splendid
equipment and has already established
headquarters tents and a model head
quarters encampment generally.
Around the camp the governments out
door exhibit will be placed. 1t consists
of big and little ordnance, of today and
the other days, Civil war relics and
relics of the unpleasantness with Spain.
so that the visitor to headquarters will
be confronted by big modern 12-inch
rifles az we'll as cannonades of the
Eighteenth century, picked up on the
beach in Manila bay.
Local G. A. R. posts are expecting q
heavy attendance at the exposition
from among the nations old time fight
ing men, for the reason that the grand
encampment takes place in Salt Lake
City early in August and the railroads
have announced lower rates than evel
before from Eastern points to the ex.
position. Under the tickets offered by
the transcontinental roads it will bs
possible for the veteran to take passage
through to Seattle and stop off for tn,
encampment without extra cost, anC
that thousands will do so is alread,
made evident by letters received b,
officers of the Grand Army and Loya
: Legion in this city.
1t will be open house at Grand Arm,
and Loyal Legion headquarters through
out the fair ard several special day
and events have been arranged in thei
honor. The state encampment of tn
G. A. R. takes place in Tacoma in Jun
} and June "a has been set as State G

Ultimatum From Secretary Knox Pro-

Emery Damage Claim.

Washington, April 6. - Secretary
Knox was given to understand today
by Minister Espinosa, of Nicaragua,
that the Nicaraguan government would
make an early effort to settle either by
compromise or by arbitration the claims
for damages of the G. d. Emery COM
pany, whose concession for cutting ma
hogany was cancelled.
The minister told the secretary that
a special commission would leave i'm
mediately for this city, carrying full
instruction for the minister, which
would empower him to reach a settle
ment. If compromise is not reached
the minister will sign protocol sub
uniting the case to arbitration.
The last communication from Secre
tary Knox to the Nicaraguan minister
was in the nature of an ultimatum.

When the announcement was made
several months ago that Mr.. Taft would
use an automobile during his term as
president, much rivalry developed
among the leading manufacturers for
the honor of selling him car and the
public watched with interest to see
what Mr.. Taft's choice would be- The
knowing ones predicted that the White
Steamer would be selected and they
pointed out that President Roosevelt
had used White Steamers for two years
at his summer home at Oyster Bay and
had recommended this make to Mr.
Taft as the most desirable.
This prediction proved correct, al
though Mr.. Taft did not rely solely on
Mr.. Roosevelt's recommendation but,
with his usual thoroughness, determin-
ed to have an investigation made of all
the principal makes. Accordingly, he
asked several officers of the War de-
partment to look into the matter for
him and they tested many makes of
cars, visited number of factories so
that they might see what materials
were used and. finally, they investigst-
ed the records of the different types of
cars in public contests and in private
service

swept through the yards of the Texas

buildings and large amount of rolling

itself out.
Three church buildings, the Broad

States coat of arms painted on either
door. In other words, when we make
car for the president of the United
States there is no way in which we can
make it any better than the car which
you, or anybody else, can purchase
from US.
"Some of those writing to me about
Mr.. Taft's car say that although they
are very desrious of having car like
Mr.. Taft's, they are afraid that such .
car is somewhat larger and more ex-
pensive than they desire. In reply to
these letters point out that our Model
90 20 horsepower car is exactly like
our 40 horsepower model, except as re-
CARDS the size of the different parts.
The principle of construction is exactly
the same and the smaller car possesses
all the desirable qualities of our larger
model. In other words, / point out
that they can secure an exact duplicate
of Mr.. Taft's car for 81, 900, or a car
of the same qualities but of smaller di-
mansions for only 81, 1000. Judging by
the demand for White cars, a good pro-
portion of those desiring to purchase
automobiles are quite content to trust
President Tsft's judgment as to the
best and most desirable make"

London, April 6. - Great Britain
seems to be awakening to the fact that
the other nations of the world are leav-
ing her behind in the race for command
of the air.
While the members of the house of
commons were drawing the attention
of the government to the fact that Ger
many has built or is building dirigible
airships and urging the government to
take up with energy the construction
of British fleet, there was being held
today meeting in the Mansion House
under the Craftsmanship of the lord
mayor of London in support of the
same subject.
Among those present were Admiral
Charles Beresford, Prince Louis of
Battenburg, Lord Curzon, Sir Hiram
Maxim and Admiral Sir Percy Scott,
all of who heartily supported energetic
action.
Admiral Scott advocated a "twC
power" standard in airships as well as
in dreadnaughts, and mentioned Incl
dentally that the navy had designed g
new gun which at distance of 5000
feet could be exceedingly destructiv,
to war airships.
