THERE IS A SENSE OF ISOLATION
 IN LIFE OF THE PRESIDENT.
No Visits in a Neighborly Way, All
 Callers Come by Engagement.

Washington, Jan. 31-TalIaing as if he were merely a friend who had drop ped in for a short chat, and not the president of the United States, William Howard Taft revealed much of his per sonal side to the newspaper men of the national capital at an informal re- ception given him today at the Ma tional Press club.
 Prepared for a, stroll along PennSyl- vania avenue and several of the other busy thorou ghfares of the city, which he took after he left the club, the president declared he found much pleasure in walking and looking in the shop windows. He said he enjoyed seeing some person give him a long look and then look away, while the next person would give a second look. then poke his companion in the ribs, '.and, in the dignity paid by Americans to high office, call out Hello, Taft.'".
 Speaking of the White House and it's duties, the president said there was a "sense of isolation in life" therein, that nobody just drops in on one in neighborly way, but all the callers came by engagement"
 As to being tired out by work, the president said that the preparation of messages for congress was the hardest he was called upon to do. The three or four hours a day he spent in talk ing over the qualifications for office of men recommended, or rather the claims they could make as to why they should be appointed, was not real work, he said

MRS. VAN BANDITS DEATH,
 MYSTERY STILL UNSOLVED.
Her Bound Body Found Lying on the
 Kitchen Stove.

Cincinnati. o. Jan. S1-The cause of the death of Mrs. Jessie Van Zandt, whose bound and roasted body was discovered lying on her kitchen stove last Saturday morning, is as great a mystery tonight as when the corpse was discovered.
 Theories were brought forward to- day of both murder and suicide. It is contended on one hand that the woman bound her feet with the intention of hanging herself and that she drank some belladonna. bottle of which was found near the body. Overcome by the poison, she is supposed to have fallen across the gas stove. The motive is found in her unhappiness over the ad- mitted infatuation of her husband for the young girl whose father caused her to be placed in a convent on ac- count of Van Zandt's attentions.
 On the other hand one of Mrs. Van Zandt's neighbors told the police thday that she saw a man running down the alley from the Van Zandt home short ly after the supposed time of the wom- ans death. Tn the meantime Jesse Van Zandt, the dead woman's husband, is held by the police.

COLORADO MINE EXPLOSION,
 HUNDRED MEN ENTOMBED.
