The money goes for thousand and

another large lump. Repairs, new

ID RESIDENT TAFT took his family
to Beverly recently and left his
wife and children there while he re-
turned to Washington to stay out the

Mrs. Louise More of Cincinnati, sis
ter of Mrs. Taft, accompanied the
family to Beverly and will remain
there some time, SO as to relieve Mrs.
Taft, who has been i'll, of as much

hostess of the White house since Mrs.
Taft suffered a nervous breakdown
several weeks ago. She came to Wash
ington with Judge Heron, her father,
for a short visit, but when Mrs. Taft
became i'll she abandoned her own
social programme in Cincinnati and
remained in Washington. This made
it possible for Mrs. Taft to carry out
the remainder of the entertainments
which had already been scheduled,
and Mrs. More took her place as
hostess at several official dinner par
ties which Mrs. Taft had planned
earlier in the season. Mrs. More won

The fact that such work is being

senators. They state that the feeling
against the senate bill is pronounced
in the house; but that in the case of
many members they fear there will be
a wild scramble for seats when the
wheels of the house organization be-
gin to crunch over the bodies of the
recalcitrants.

bers who are now talking emphatically
against the bill are numbered among
those who generally stand with the
house majority and vote with the

question of whether these members
will accept the statement of the con-
ference committee that the bill is sat

Veto Threat Necessary.
A prominent Eastern senator, who
has been hand-in-glove with the Aid
rich committee in the passage of the
tariff bill in the senate, is quoted di-
rectly here yesterday as saying that
the conference committee will never
frame bill embodying general re-
auctions of duties, unless directly
threatened with a presidential veto. ,
1t is reasonably certain that no such
veto is being held over the conferees.
The president is confident that the
conference committee is working to-
ward the completion of satisfactory
bill, and he expects to be able to sign
The senate insurgents, and many of
the western members of the house,
continue strong in the declaration that
the house must be prepared to investl-
gate every feature of the conference
committees report, and repudiate the
whole of it if it does not give an hon
est revision No other course, they
claim, will entirely meet the situa-
| ton.
| It is stated on good authority that
| the McCumber drawback amendment
prohibiting a drawback on wheat or
other grains, has the support of all
| the senate conferees, and is likely to
| be retained in the bill. This is the
amendment against which the entire
| flour milling trade is united, and which
makes direct discrimination between
| the milling trade and other manufac-
turing interests. In the matter of a
drawback on raw material North
western senators have been confident
that the McCumber amendment would
be dropped in conference. Congress-
man Stevens submitted as exhaustive
statement of the milling situation to
the committee yesterday. If the
amendment is forced out, it will ap-
parently be through the efforts of the
house conferes.
