President Takes Luncheon
With John Hays Hammond,
Who Is His Lucky Partner in
a Successful Golf Game.
iSTEALS AWAY FROM WORK

n EVERLY, Mass, Aug. 16.-PTesi-
II dent Taft stole away from the
golf links this afternoon with
out notifying the secret service men,
Secretary Carpenter or anybody else,
ran over to old Gloucester to have
luncheon with John Hays Hammond.
Along about O'Clock, after Secretary
Carpenter had waited an hour and a
half at Burgess wondering what had
become Of his chief and had returned
to the executive offices, the president
came bowling back in his machine, a
broad grin on his face and content
ment in his heart.
There was reason for the content
ment. Taft and Hammond beat the
"OctOgenarians" at golf once more to-
day and the score is now 2 to 2, with
one more game to play in the tourna-
ment. The score today was 1 up. The
opponents were General Ames ana
William J. BOardman. The golf game
and the luncheon at Hammond's, sup
plemented by the daily motor run,
tiled out the day. By stealing off %
Gloucester the president lodged all
work and left Secretary Carpenter and
Assistant Secretary Forster with port
fOliOs Of mail and official documents to
be looked after.
Some day this week Attorney Cen
eTal WiCkersham will be here and an
other day before the week is gone Sec
rotary MacVeagh will be here With
the former, important problems with
regard to the reorganization Of the in
terstate commerce commission, the ad-
ministTation Of the Sherman antitrust
law and the defense Of the corporation
tax are to be taken up. With Secre-
tary MacNeagh the appointment of the
tariff experts is to be disposed of.
No Invitations Accepted.
Thomas W. Lawson's invitation to
the president to attend the Marshdeld
fair on August 26 and take a peep
at the potatoes pumpkins and cab
bages which have never missed the
mouth of red-blOOded Americans" has
been turned down. So have all invita-
tons to leave the quiet Of Burgess
Point.
On September 9, however, the presi-
dent VIII entertain upon the yacht
MaylOwer the crews of the German and
American yachts, on which occasion he
will present to the winners the Taft
and Draper cups. This evening the
president took dinner with his brother,
Charles 2. Taft. at the BOaTdman cot
tage, East Gloucester.
The president has determined he viii

which is raging between Secretary of
the Interior BallingeT and Chief For
ester PinChOt. To some this is a hot

thought, will blow over before the bel

But 1t turned out that there was an ele- mental difference. While Carter had been deprived of his money at first by cajolcry and later by threats, it was considered that it was not incumbent upon him to follow Lcnn around to be robbed.
