REID TO VISIT BEVERLY
Ambassador TO Great Britain VIII
Talk over Foreign Affairs
with Mr.. Taft ON
Friday.

BEVERLY Mass, Aug. S.-President
Tafts grasp on the shaft OF the golf
club and the success Of the automobile
was considerable firmer today than on the
reins OF government. although he found
time to glance over his morning mail,
discuss a few questions of state with
his secretary Of the treasury and pass
smilingly and unscathed through the bi-
weekly inquisition Of the newspaper men.
He saw no visitors of Importance, not
even an anxious delegation from Dallas,
Tex, which made a long journey to OBJ
tain the presidents consent to lengthen
his stay in that city until the morning
light should break.
The most important news items of the
day was the announcement that Editor
Frank A. Musgrove of Hanover, N. H..
would be appointed census supervisor for
that state and the statement there would
be no diplomatic changes until after con-
gress convened, the expected arrival on
Thursday of Senator Nelson w. Aldrich
OF Rhode Island, to discuss the report OF
the money commission and the inumation
that the administration prepared to
defend to the last ditch the last back
platform speech its record on the recent
| tariff legislation.
Reid Comes Friday.
The appointment Of Mr.. Musgrove, who
| is the editor of the Hanover Gazette, is
regarded as conciliating that faction Of the
party in the Granite state which is op-
| posed to Editor George H. Moses, who re-
Gently was made minister to Greece No
other appointment was announced.
! Of Inf oh In
of the foreign embassies is discouraged,
although Ambassador Reid win see the
president Friday and probably Will have
few words to say regarding the attitude
of the British government toward this coun-
try at the present time and its wishes
TO the next American to report 10 the court
of St. James. =
Mr.. Reid desired to visit Beverly Thurs
day. but that day already was set for the
coming of Senator Aldrich. who will go
over with the president and Secretary Mac
Veagh a portion OF the report on the
monetary commission. 1t is understood
that the report is in more complete form
than even the president expected and 1t
is possible that It will be in shape by the
time Senator Aldrich returns from his four
weeks trip to Europe. He will sail from
New York Saturday. It is probable that
the senate leader also will discuss other
financial matters with the president and
the secretary OF the treasury.
VIII Talk Tariff.
If the western opponents Of the new
tariff bill expect silence from the presi-
dent or reluctance on his part TO dis
cuss different provisions. they will be dis
appointed. The administration has burned
it's bridges and is ready and willing to
debate any and all the schedules.
Returning TO the census appointments
the president has selected go supervisors
and has lS4 more TO discover, He hopes
to find most of them before he leaves for
| the west, well as the members OF the
so-called foreign tariff commission.
The Dallas delegation, composed of
Mayor Hay, Judge J. NJ Mccormick and
Henry d. Lindsay, reached Beverly Just
after the president had left for Myopia
and were compelled TO confer with Sec
retary Carpenter. They asked that the
stop in Dallas. which is scheduled for a
few hours in the evening be prolonged
until the next morning, in order that the
people might have a good view OF the
chief magistrate. The delegation found
however, that even such a brief delay
would completely upset the itinerary and
could not be regarded as advisable.
/
the standing army was again brought to
the presidents attention and once more
emphaucally denied. 1t was learned. how
ever, that while the full strength Of the
army is $780, II numbers 5000, which the
president and the secretary of war deems
sufficient. Any formal order for . reduo-
ton must come from the commandsr-in-
chief and no such order has been issued
or contemplated.
! Agreeable outdoor recreation again oc-
cupied the greater portion OF the presi-
dents time today. He defeated Editor
ogden Of the New York Evening Post ,
at golf, two up and one to play, on the
Myopia course. The president thinks the
tenth hole at Myopia the hardest golfing
proposition he has yet tackled
" Trip in AutOmobiIe.
This afternoon after Captain Butt had
spent an hour in map studying. the big
automobile started on another exploration
tour OF Northeastern Massachusetts THIS
time Captain Butt knew the road and
brought the party back before dark. Yes
terday the presidential party was lost for
couple OF hours In the highways Of Ar
lington. Cambridge and somerville. in an
effort to follow the route OF the British
retreat from Lexington. II is scarcely
twenty-five miles in a fairly straight line
from Beverly TO Lexington. but the rec
ord on the presidential automobile marked
81 miles. which il was finally stopped In
front OF the Taft mansion at p m,
after a five-hour run.
The president looked the ideal type of
contented man as he leaned back in a
big easy chair this afternoon ana chatted
and laughed with half a dozen news
gatherers. 1t did not seem as II he knew
what the word care meant, or had
given way a moment TO worry or anxiety.
The daily tramps over the hills and dalss
Of two golf links are putting the presi-
dent in fine condition for his long west
