Special Dispatch to The Star.
BEVERLY. Mass. August There
wasn't much about President Taft's ar
rival in Beverly this morning to suggest
that 1t was the event which was turning
q placid, curfew-loving north shore sum-
mer place into the very retina OF the pub
lie eye. IL his entrance had been any less
dramatic than 1t was. some people might
have doubted that 1t really happened. Not
that Beverly wasn't glad to see him: on
the contrary, this is the day for which
| Beverly has been impatiently biting its
nails for many weeks. It was because the
townspeople had it figured out that he
had been worried enough with that pesky
tariff thing that they almost left him
alone.
When he had a regular rest in sight
they saw no reason why he should not

much for being demonstrative.
For one thing his car did not come in
at the busy turmoil at the center of the
town where the cab horses doze through
out the day undisturbed, except for the
occasional sound Of the baggage clerk auip-
ping with the ticket agent: it was at tho
Montserrat station. where things are yet
more peaceful. that the Olympia drew UP
after its Boston-encircling sprint from
the South station through Cottage Farm
and Cambridge and East Somerville. So
there weren't more than half a hundred
people on hand altogether. but among
them were some that counted.
Greeted by Mrs. Taft.
There was Mrs. Taft. whose white gown
and heavily fiowered hat were bright
spots. in the cool, clear morning light as
she sat waiting at the station curb in an
automobile, with her sister. Mrs. Louis

The loudest cheer that went up during
the arrival was when he climbed into the
car and gave Mrs. Taft a perfectly good
kiss.
Then Capt Archibald W. Butt. the
Presidents military aid. jumped into
the automobile, a secret service man took
q place beside the chauffeur and mo-
ment later the car was disappearing down
Corning street in a dust cloud that looked
bad for speed laws until it was remem-
bered that the limit here is twenty miles
an hour, and even that is not very bind
ing. Secretary Fred w. Carpenter took a
second car with load of secret service
men.
During the rest of the morning the
President stayed within the limits of the
Stateson cottage at Burgess Point until

Robert to take a fling at the intricacies
