PRESIDENT SAYS GOODBYE TO BEVERLY, STOPPING AT BOSTON FOR BANQUET,
 BEFORE LEAVING ON l3,oOO MILE TRIP

can party craft, what better start could he make for the, 1912. nomina- tion?
 One of the most picturesque, as well as the most historic incident of the Presidential journey will be Taft's meeting at Fl Paso with President Diaz of Mexico. This takes place Oct. 16, and under the gold lace and gilt tering formalities of the meeting are said to be some sensational interna- tiona1 reasons Diplomatic students smile wisely when it is said these two. men will meet on the boundary line merely to exchange a handshake land a few pretty platitudes. A few words between the two Presidents, the internati tional wiseacres say, will go farther than months of. tedious nego- tiations between sthe foreign offices of the two powers. ' Diaz has autoeratic sway below the Rio Grande, and the American President can do many things that the statutes fail to rec ognize or departmental regulations provide. What more natural then, they ask. than for Taft and Diaz to have a little heart-to-heart talk and come to an understanding upon mat ters which might, if. left themselves, develop into serious friction between the American Republics.
 Out at Seattle, the President will take in the Alaska Yukon Exposition; down in New Orleans, he will attend the Lakes to the Gulf Deep Water ways conventions; in Texas, at Corpus Christi, he will visit the 100000 acre ranch owned by bis brother; at Au- gusta, Ga., he play golf on the links he learned to know so well between his election and his inauguration. He will take a 1900 mile voyage down the Missississippi from St. Louis; will ride through the Royal Gorge by moon light; will stage it in and out of the beautiful Yosemite valley; and will visit for the first time the great aka Ii deserts of the Southwest. When he gets back to Washington, Nov 10, he will have travelled over every kind of soil and through every climate the country offers, and will have spoken to practically every class of people under the flag.
 The President left Beverly for a run to Boston by automobile. He will be the speaker and guest of honor at a banquet by the business men of the Hub tonight, and will lodge at the Touraine Hotel. Tomorrow morning at 10 his special train consisting of the private cars Mayfiower and Hasle- mere and baggage coach. will leave for the west. Albany, which will be reached at 3:45 p. m., is the first stop on the itinerary.
 At about the time of the President s leaving tomorrow he will in all prob ability give out a formal statement upon the Ballinger-Pinchot controv- ersy. It is predicted that in this statement all parties to the squabble will be held blameless of c,nluability.

 In Trust for Family

New York, Sept. 1.-The will Of f1js late E. H. Hartman will be filed some day this week, probaly on ThursdRy- One copy of the will will be probated at Goshen, N. r., and the other in New York city it is said today.
 It is believed that the will is one of the most formal nature, appointing a. board of trustees, into whose hands the entire Hartman estate will bo placed for the benefit of the heirs- Financiers who are well acquaanted with Harriman's wishes believe that with the exception of the Arden prop erty, the entire estate will be kep4 in, tact under his orders, by the trus,t tees. It is said the Arden estate t1s left to Mrs. Hartman for her use du f. ing her lifetime and that the trustees are ordered to continue the work ot making it one of the most ulagnificAnt estates in the world.
 In some quarters, it is believed Chat former Judge R. s. Lovett and Tshas- A. Peabody, Harriman's personal law yer, but now president of the MaItual Life Insurance Company, will be tw0l of the trustees for the Hartman for tune.
 His estate is said to be worth not more than $50,000,000.

lCrissie Harrall's Auto Travels All
 Alone and Backward
Trolley Cars Blockade and Crowds Assemble as Ma chine Does It's Unusual Stunt.

Crissie Harrall. a scion of one ot eridgeport's wealthiest families, creat- ed a. mild sensation at Main and Can non streets at noon, when without anybody to guide it, his automobile en- tered upon a reckless career of retro grade travel, until it banged into the side of the store of the Rowland Dry Goods Company
 As HarraI entered Main street from Cannon he. saw that he was about to run into a trolley car. Putting on the reverse and the brake he stopped~the car SO successfully that he was unable to start it again. Thus a trolley blockade was created. Finally, leav- ing his reverse on and his throttle open, he gave the crank a turn and the engine jumped into the harness while the machine sped up Cannon street backward.
 No damage was done. A mob of a thousand people enjoyed the spectacle Harrall recently had trouble with his automobile when it became insubordin- ate and shaved the front porch off From dwelling in its neighborhood.

"DAN" HAWLEY
 MEETS DEATH
 BY DROWNING
Aged Keeper of Mohawk r> Club Was " Years
 N Old Today
HELP CAME TOO LATE

While unloading bricks fin a snalI boat of the Scow type this morning about 11s15 o'clock David B. Hawley, better
 known as Dan" Hawley, the keeper of the Mohawk club, missed his foot ing and fell backward into the water.
 One of his feet caught uHder the seat
 in the boat. He swallowed so much
 water that he died within a few min utes after he had been taken from his predicament and placed on the float at his assistance in a launch. He was 77 years old today.
 The aged keeper was unloading the bricks from a schooner sharpy owned by member of the Mohawk Yacht
 Club who has a position in the Read Carpet factory, and whose name could not be learned. He himself declined to give it. The owner. of the boat
 had the bricks in the sharpy for bal last Wishing to take the boat from
 the club the owner told MT. Hawley
 that he could have the bricks if he would remove them. , The distance from the sharpy to the club house was only few feet and the scow boat was used. From this l boat the bricks were thrown to a tenn porary platform several feet from the water. It was while trying to place some bricks on this platform that 1t | is supposed Hawley fell into the wa l ter.
 Owing to his age and the position of the foot which caught in the, seat,a he | was unable to extricate himself for some time. He finally didz succeed | in getting his free foot into another
 boat and thus drew himself out of the | water. He was helpless however. Meanwhile a crowd gathered on the sidewalk and attracted the attention
 of Captain George w. Masters, the
 boat builder on Stratford avenue. He rushed across the street and when be saw the old man hailed three men in | a launch who took MT. Hawley from | the boat to the club float.
 | A call was sent for the ambulance
 and men worked over the aged keeper
 meanwhile. The ambulance corps was l out on a call and a delay of several | minutes occurred. Police Electrician Ladd was on the float when the aIn-
 bulance arrived and said that MT
 Hawley breathed his last as Dr. Kier-
 nan of the Emergency corps walked
 down the inclined plank toward the float. The body was removed to the morgue and Medical Examiner F. B | Downs was notified. After his exam nation the body was removed to the undertaking parlors of Hawley, Will mot 6 Reynolds. II The dead man is survived by a w1d. ow and a, daughter, Fannie, who Is 2 teacher in the public schools, and with Lwhom the deceased lived at 1O1 Liberty street.
 A sister, Mrs. William H. Hebbard of 79O State street, also remains, anc there are several nephews and nieces | Mr. Hawley had been keeper of the | club for four years. Previous to this he was engaged in the oyster business l He was a brother of Wheeler Hawley the we'll known oyster dealer, who died a few years ago.
 The news of the drowning spread rapidly.

Especial from United Press) t
 Clinton. Sept. 14.-While crossing from the east bound to the west bound track in order to pass freight train here early to-day. the driving rod on the engine of an Adams Express train. bound from Washington to Boston, broke, causing the locomotive and sey- en cars to leave the tracks. Four of the cars overturned and are now lying on either side of the. main line track. but the engineer and the rest of the crew, as well as the express messeng- CTS, are all reported ito have escaped without any serious injury. F'ortu- nate1y, the train was travelling at a reduced speed, on account of crossing over, and the engineer was enabled to bring it to a standsSI after it had torn up the track for several hundred yards.
 Six valuable racing horses and four jockeys occupied one of the cars that left the track and were badly shaken up but suffered no serious injuries. All traffic on the Shore Line has been held up this morning and three wreck CTS are on the scene clearing away the debris. but it will probably be late this afternoon before the work is com pleted.

Beverly, Mass, Sept.14.-President William Howard Taft left his summer home to-day for Washington. But his way lies along the Pacific Coast, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Atlantic Coast and before he reaches the cap ital and resumes his duties at the White House, the President will have traveled 12,759 miles, visited 29 states and two territories, made about 300 speeches, shaken hands with probably 10000 persons, and been seen and heard by 100000 of his countrymen. With the exception of the famous Roosevelt swing around the circle in 1903, the Taft trip will discount any thing before attempted by an Ameri- can President, and in many ways it will discount even the Roosevelt dash.
 When the President started for Bos- ton, where the western trip begins, the Executive offices of the Board of Trade building in Cabot Street were closed, and the working force of clerks, stenographers, and telegraphers left for Washington. Their route is a little more direct than that of the Ex- ecutive. Beverly has lost it's proud title of summer capital and is once more the mere pin-point on the map that it was before the nations chief p1ckGu It dS d ~ SOlhuS dIiu ISSlll1S place.
 The President does not delude him. self inbo thinking that the forthcom- ing trip is either a picnic or siesta. It seems likely. to be the hardest two months, in some respects, he ever put in, and in many features will be a repetition of last Falls campaign tour. Some of his friends are even willing to admit that it is in reality another campaign locking toward -four years more."
 Whether Taft looks so far ahead there is no lodging the fact that he will be on trial in many of the sec tions he will visit. Out where the cowboy is king, he will have to ex- plain why he advocated free hides. The farmers who swear by Roosevelt, and the honest eaders, who are watch ing the Roosevelt irrigation projects reclaim deserts, will want "inside in- formation' on the BalIinger-Pinchot controversy. Up in the Northwest, he will run into the camp of the insurg- ents who so nearly played hob with the tariff bill and Speaker Cannon last winter, and in more than one district, he will speak to unfriendly audiences for the sake of congressman whose acts at Washington in the tariff fight threaten to lose them their jobs. He will need all his suavity, all his dip- 1omacy, all the potency of the potent Taft smile, to steer clear of threat ening rocks, but if he comes through without staving holes in the RepubIi-

 President Taft's party for the first lap of his 13,000 mile trip consists of Captain Butt. his military aid; Sec retary Fred Carpenter and Assistants w.. w. Nischler and c. W. Wagner, Dr. J. J. Richardson of Washington, two secret service operatives and six newspaper men. John Hays Hammond is to join the president at spokane on Sept. 2S and continue with him throughout the remainder of the jour ney. MT. Hammond, who is president of the League of Republican Clubs, has turned the steward and cook of his private yacht over to MT. Taft to take charge of. the culinary depart ment of the presidents private car. While Fl Paso and the Mexican city opposite will furnish the most formal ceremonies of the long trip, elaborate, programs of entertainment are being formulated in practically every city of the west and south which the presi- dent will visit.
