German View of Taft

BERLIN, March 5.--The German for
eign office views William H. Taft's as
sumption of the duties of president of
the United States as likely to lead to
still closer friendly relations between
America and Germany and calls atten-
ton to the progress made in this di-
rection during the administration of
President Roosevelt
The peaceful tone of President Taft's
inaugural address has created a most
favorable impression in government
circles and the ministry of the in
terror is awaiting tariff revision with
the keenest interest.
The newspapers allude to the orderly
ascent of Taft to the ruIership of 100. :
100000 people and the retirement of
Roosevelt to private life as an i'm
pressive political spectacle.

OYSTER BAY. N. Y, March 5.-For-
mer President Roosevelts first day as
private citizen since relinquishins
his place at the head of the nation

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The Taft
administration took its first stride to-
day
The president named his cabinet, the
senate confirmed his selections. and it's
members will take the oath of office to-
morrow. with the exception of George
w. Wiekersham, who was sworn in as
attorney general today. and of Dickin-
son and MacVeagh, whose personal af
fairs will not permit them to reach
Washington for week or more.
President Taft and the republican
members of the ways and means COM
mittee held an important conference
during the day. The committee has
framed a tariff bill which, it is under
stood, contains a provision for an in
heritancee tax, one of the suggestions
for raising, revenue contained in the
inaugural address of President Taft.
President Taft told the committee there
would be no delay in the official procla-
nation calling the extra session of con-
gress on March Is. His message, he
said, would recommend that it confine
its work exclusively to tariff revision
that there might be no unnecessary de-
lay in enacting this most important
law. He said that he would not discuss
in his message the details of tariff re-
vision, leaving all such matters entirely
to the judgment of congress.
MEETS INAUGURAL VISITORS
Aside from these important accom-
plishments President Taft gave himself
up heartily to the demands of his
friends and thousands of inaugural Wis
itors who wished to shake hands with
him.

caller on President Taft in the White
House. A 10 minute interview Mr..
Knox said. had its Importance, but was
not for publication. He was rejoicing
that since noon yesterday, when his
resignation as senator became ef-
fective, he was simply a private citi-
zen.
for before the day was much older he
had been nominated and confirmed as
secretary of state.
