SAYS ONE TERM is ENOUGH
T Associated Pressl ]

WASHINGTON, April 16.-President
Taft attended two banquets and mace
two speeches tonight, but partook OF
neither feast.
The president was the guest of the
Bankers association of the Distrlct
of Columbia early in the evening ana
after addressing the bankers joined
with his Washington fellow alumni or
the Psi Upsilon fraternity in their an
nual dinner. He arrived at the latter
banquet in time to participate III Isl
JJpsilon antics, such as were IN order
when he was a student at Yale, ana
remained until the close of the testlVl-
ties.
At the bankers dinner the president
was introduced by William A. Mearns'
president of the association. Other
speakers were Franklin MacVeagh, sec
retary of the treasury Charles Nagel'
secretary of commerce and labor; SEN
ator Robert L. Taylor and Senator
Joseph w. Bailey.
The president was in a merry mood
at both dinners. At each he discussed
the hardships of a presidents life ana
at the Psi Upsilon banquet declared
one term as president was enough for
him. He seemed, however, to be
speaking in a Pickwickian sense.
Herbert J.. Bridgman, president OF
the fraternity, in an address preced-
ing the president, had given recipe
for obtaining twenty-five successive
terms.
"Brother Bridgman offers me a recipe
for acquiring twenty-five successive
terms" said the president IT thank
yo1, Mr. Bridgman, but the first term
is enough for me-"
The president as smiling and
chuckled when he said this
His fellow Psi's applauded and the
ch.-f executive took any serious edge
off his remarks when he continued:
but, seriously speaking, however,
This utterance occasioned vociferous
cheering and the president laughed
heartily.
At the fraternity dinner the president
larded fraternity spirit in college life,
All also praised college athletics
Secretary Nagel defended the tariff
bill. He did not speak at length, but
declared the tariff bill was the best
ever passed.

keeping with the promise she had made
prior to sailing to Europe, accepting
his proposal OF marriage, on condition
that the marriage should take place on
her return to New York in the fall. Mr..

ly. Il accept unconditionally.'
Mile Cavalieri was unable to say
definitely whether she would sing again
in New York before her marriage. IN
deed, no arrangements whatsoever
would be made pending the coming OF
Mr.. Chanler to Paris. The singer was
besieged with callers today, and re-
ceived many kilograms of inquiry and
