WASHINGTON. July z-(speeisl dis
patch TO The Bee.)-Ths National Capital
is much interested in the rumor that
the summer capital may be moved from
Beverly to Bar Harbor after this sum
mer This is the second season that
President Taft has spent ut the Massaohu-
sets resort. and his determination in Sc
lecting Beverly was largely decided by the
proximity Of the splendid golf links.
President Tafts recent visit to Bar Har-
Dor inspired the report that he was cast
ing about for a residence which he might
lease for next summer, but perhaps this
rumor is little far-fetched.
Prof. and Mrs Louis More, OF Cincin-
natl. Mrs Tafts brother-ln-lsw and sister
have a summer place at Biddeford Pool,
near Bar lfsrbor. During his stay on the
Maine cosst President Taft expressed his
keen admiration for the natural beauty
and his intense interest in the beautiful
country seats that line the coast.
Some one, 1 don't know who, compiled a
list of the eligible bachelors OF the Taft
administration, aud It was an imposing ar
ray. There are a number of bachelors In
Washington who are considered extremely
good catches" Among them are Post
master General Frank Hitchcock, Captain
Archibald Butt, President Tafts military
aide, and DR.. Harvey W. Wiley, head of
the bureau OF chemistry of the depart
ment Of agriculture. l do not include in
this list Senators Boise Penrose Of Penn
sylN ania and nurton OF Ohio, both of whom
are affable and kindly gentlemen wealthy
beloved by their constituents, and pre-
possessing in appearance. In truth, ther'
are a number of bachelors in Washington
during the hurly burly of the winter anC
1t would not surprise me to hear Of SONS
very interesting engagements next year.
