PRESIDENT TAFT BACK
AT THE WHITE HOUSE

Three Months, Is Ended
in Safety.

Washington, ID. c., Nov. l3.-After
an absence of more than three months,
during which he has made q $1,000
mile trip through the west and south,
President Taft slept last night in the
White House. He left the capital Au-
gust 6 last with the cheers of the
crowds ringing in his ears. He re-
turned last night to the tune OF the
same cheers, but he tarried only a mo-
ment with the various welcoming BAR
ties. His objective point was the White
House and Mrs. Taft, and as quickly
as he could get ava from the brief
speeches of welcome he climbed into
his big automobile. The chauffeur
broke all the speed records Of the dis
trict.
There was no demonstration at the
White House. The special police there
kept the curious outside the grounds,
and when Mr.. Taft alighted and ran
quickly up the steps he stopped for a
moment and waved a smiling farewell
to Fred Carpenter, his secretary; Colo
mel Spencer Crosby and Captain Butt,
his two military aids, who had accom-
panied him from the station. Then the
big swinging doors Of the White House
swallowed him.
Big Crowd at Station.
When the train rolled in from Rich
mond on time at 1886 O'Clock there was
an imposing throng of persons on the
platform. There were a few women,
but for the most part the space was
taken up by silk hated committees.
penter, Colonel Crosby, military aid to
the president, INK Assistant Secretary
Of War Oliver.
A moment before the train pulled in
some diversion was caused by a COM
mittee OF 10 members from the cham
Der of filing down the broad
stairs. Frock coated and silk hated,
they marched to the platform, two
abreast, n took up their stand at the
point where the presidents car
stopped.
When the train drew up the first
person out was Captain Butt. He was
followed by Secretary of the Navy
Meyer, who Joined the president in
Richmond. Then the president, to the
accompaniment Of hand %clapping and
a few desultory cheers, stepped to the
ground.
Welcome by Spokesman.
Mr.. President, I want to welcome
you back to the capital on behalf of
the members of the chamber of COM
merce,' said President GUIDE, of that
body, capturing Mr.. Taft Immediately.
THANK you," replied the president.

on the crowd.
I'm glad to get back. Let me see.
l left here August 6, didn't I? Well,
I'm back again just as we'll as I went
away. / never felt better"
The president did not appear to have
been fatigued by his long trip. APP
parently he was nc stouter than when
he left, although it was whispered
among his intimates that he had
picked up several pounds. When asked
about it he laughingly spread out his
arms and invited inspection.

FROM REST OF WORLD
No Weather Reports Have Been
Received From Island Since
Saturday.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Weather re-
ports from Kingston, Jamaica, which
the weather. bureau here usually re-
ceives daily, have failed to come from
the West Indian island since last Sat-
urday, and the officials of the service
have been without information regard
ing what has occurred there since that
time.
There has been no general tropical
disturbance indicated in the reports to
the weather bureau from points In the
other West Indian islands and the
weather bureau officials are inclined to
believe that some submarine earth
quake has caused the interruption to
the cables. No earthquake of any mag
nitude, however. has been recorded on
the s~eismographs of the weather bu-
reau or the coast and geodetic survey
here.
