TALKED NEW YORK AFFAIRS
PRESIDENT RECEIVES MANY
VISITORS AT SUMMER HOME.

Beverly. Mass, Oct. 1o.--Mr. Otto
) Barnard, president OF the New
FORK Trust company, and one OF
rose present at the conference
ought with President Taft by Col
mel Roosevelt at New Haven, is
laying at Burgess Point for few
lays. He came upon the invitation
Of the president. extended while in
New York a week ago.
Mr.. Barnard will give the presi-
dent details Of the situation in New
York, which has taken the place OF
Ohio as the most difficult problem OF
troubled year. While Mr.. Ban
nard's visit is social, the subject Of
his talks with the president will be
he obstacles which confront the re-
oublicans as the result OF the Sara
.oga convention dominated by Col
onel Roosevelt.
Before he leaves Beverly the pres
ident will be told of the situation in
the Empire State by other keen OBJ
servers. Long acquaintance and
strong friendship put Mr.. Barnard
in position to become an advisor of
the president in New York. They
we're in Yale together, and Mr.. Ban
nard knows almost as we'll as the
president himself the significance Of
what passed between him and Col
onel Roosevelt when the latter
brayed the dangers OF shipwreck to
have few words with Mr.. Taft at
New Haven.
1t is worth notice that the presi-
dent. wanting to know what was GO
ing on in New York, invited Mr..
Barnard instead of sending for the
new chairman of the republican
state committee, Mr.. Ezra T. Prem
tice, or for the man who held the
sponge in the Roosevelt corner at
New Haven, Mr.. Lloyd Griscom.
Orators of national reputation are
to be sent into Ohio. though not be-
cause reports from that state are
gloomy. Their tone is much more
satisfactory, and two leaders Of re-
publican sentiment in the Buckeye
State who came to Beverly TO see
the president expressed both public
~ and privately the conviction that
republican governor win be elect

to report the situation to the presi-
dent and 10 arrange with him so far
as was possible to turn the foot steps

While the crowd was assem-
bling, Prof. Masters orchestra of
nine pieces played the new ma
tional march, 1.-The American
Revolution" and when the speak
ers of the evening, the members of
the school board, the commercial
club and others had taken their
seats on the platform, the orchestra
gave an artistic rendition of twill
liam Tell," which was received
with hearty applause.
Rev. c. E.. White, pastor of the
local M. E. church, gave an i'm
pressive invocation. K ~.,
G.. M. Torrance, secretary of the
board of education of the Independ-
ent School District of Bemidji, gave
a history of the new High School
building, and of the different
obstacles that were overcome by the
board before the site was secured
and the building erected.
Mr.. Torrance stated that he had
been advised to be brief, and would
of necessity comply with the request,
as he did not enjoy public speaking.
The speaker believed that the
people of the city had forgotten
the controversies over the different
elections that were held for purpose
of securing just such an edlfce in
order to properly house our school
children, and that there was as much
natural love for the schools in Be-
midi as elsewhere, despite the draw
backs in the shape of elections,
delay in the selling bonds, etc. -,
Mr.. Torrance told of finally buy
ing the present site, and afterwards
the election to authorize the board
to erect the building,- the latter
proposition carrying by a vote of
] to 1, making the sale of the bonds
an easy matter. The building had
cost some $4,000, the heating
plant and extras $1,000, and with
other expenses, the entire edifce
cost some $4,000 dollars, making
the total amount invested some
s55,OOO.
The securing of the elegant edi-
hce had been the result of much
hard work and time on the
part of the members of the school
board; that while two of the
