TAFT MAY EXTEND
HIS WESTERN TRIP
President Expects to Be Away
and Make Use of Special
Train.

WASHINGTON. July 11.-Indications
multiply that President Taft's an
nounced itinerary for his western and
southern trip this fall may be extended
The president did not include in thu
! tentative list which was published al
of the places where he expects to hold
a brief car-cud reception.
Strong efforts will be made by con
gressmen and state officials to have the
president stop for a few minutes al
least at nearly all the towns Of appre
ciable size through which his train will
pass in daylight hours.
Thus far the president has adhered
to the policy OF lourneying in a single
private car attached to regular trains
On his far western trip. however, it is
likely that the president Will follow
the policy of mis- predecessors in char,
tering n special train.
The president expects to be away for
two months and Will have to carry :!
corps of stenographcrs, clerks and teleg-
raphers in addition TO his secretaries
Thus far the presidential party has
been confined to the chief executive,
Captain Archibald w. Butt, his military
aide: Assistant Secretary Mischler,
Major Arthur Brooks and two secret
service men, James Sloan, who was with
President Roosevelt for seven years, and
"Jack' Wheeler, who has accompanied
Mr.. Taft since his election.
The porter and cook assigned TO the
president have been travelling with pres.
ideuts for many years. VIII S. Andcr-
son, the porter, was promoted to presi-
Dental service in 1901 and was with
President Roosevelt on all his travels,
j, c, Broadus, the chef to tho president.
while Ell route, began service under
President Mckinley, The third member
Of the crew, L. Is. Letcher, has also
seen service under three presidents,
The railroads in taking every precau-
ton for the comfort and safe convey
ance Of the president, have three men
always on the engine. Sometimes the
third man may be the division supcrln-
Jendcnt. Always there is a represen-
tative of the traffic department on board
with authority to take control in an
emergency. The railroads much prefer
to carry the president by special train
and often do so nowadays in preference
to hauling his car at the end of 4 reg
ular train.
