President Taft is now crossing the
United States at a rapid pace and

enough to give short address either
from the platform Of the car or from
the band stand in the city park. After
leaving Occur d'Alene he will go to
Hayden Lake, where he will spend an
hour playing golf. In all probability
he will be escorted from this city to
the lake by the National Guard.
The greater part Of yesterday was
spent in traversing the two great
states of Massachusetts and New
York, and in the evening he was
spinning along the shores Of Lake
Erie on his way to Chicago, where he
arrived at noon today, which city is
the first important stop on his west
ern trip of 1900 miles. Great
crowds greeted the president at every
station and all went wild with cheers
as he passed along. The journey was
begun of the fifty-second birthday of
the executive, and he was indeed
happy as he bade his friends good
bye at the starting point. He re-
ceiyes many congratulatory messages
NAohS eiC way anu always NGduS them
aloud to his party whenever they ar
rive.
In Massachusetts, Mr.. Taft spoke
at Worcester, Springfield and Pitts
field. Entering New York he was
greeted at Albany by Governor
Hughes, and both made little talks
to the depot throngs. which cheered
the state and federal executives with
equal enthusiasm. Governor Hughes
became the presidents guest on the
run from Albany to Syracuse and had
dinner with him on the car May
flower.
President Taft was in rare good
humor yesterday. He seemed happy
that the journey had at last begun.

The object of the league is not to

DIHILLERS ARE HEARD.
Kentucky Dealers Give Notice They
Are for Honest Branding.

a delegation Of distiIlers from Ken
lucky. representing one-fourth OF all ths
whisky in bonded warehouses n the
United States, called on President Roose-
velt yesterday morning.
They also had a hearing before Com
missioner Capers. Of the Internal Revenus
Bureau, in regard TO the proper branding
Of whisky. The delegation told the COM
missioner, and they told the President
they were for honest branding. but they
are aware CT the lack Of uniformity n
regulations, a system which has grown
out Of the diverse rulings OF the Attorney
General. the Department Of Agriculture.
and the Internal Revenue Bureau
They urged the Commissioner OF Inter-
nal Revenue 70 set the example by Te-
curing honest branding with the object
Of showing just what are the products.
If whisky is an imitation product. they
think it should be plainly branded as
such. They are strongly IN favor Of the
whisky ruling handed down some time
ago by Attorney General Bonsparte.
Some aspeTity was shown between ths
opposing factions before Commissioners
Capers when Mr.. Taylor. who was ask
ing for a rigid enforcement Of the pure
food principle in behalf 0f the bonded
distiIlers, was interrupted by Mr- Hough.
attorney for the Wholesale Liquor Deal
ers' Association. Mr.. Hugh asked TO par
ticipate in the interrOgstions Of the com
missioner. and Sr. Taylor suggested 70
him he could be heard before the courts
OF the District Of Columbia on any day
that he was willing to bring 3 test case 70
