Injured by Taft Automobile.

A most distressing accident occurred
at Beverly. Mass, last week which has
worried. the President very seriously.
His son, Robert Taft, was automobiling
with some young friends near Beverly,
and accidentally ran over an italian
and injured him so seriously that he
may die.
The story Of the accident is that at
Pride's Crossing, about two miles from
the Summer home of the President, the
roads were being oiled by a gang of
men. The automobile driven by young
Taft slowed down and sounded the
horn, and most of the men stepped
aside. One of them, however, an ItaI-
ian named Thistolla, was not quick
enough, and the machine struck him
and tossed him into a gutter. He was
unconscious when picked up by young
Taft and his two friends. A physician
was summoned, and the injured man
sent directly to a hospital, where young
Taft and his friends followed. The
hospital surgeons said that the skull
appeared to be fractured Those who
saw the accident say that it was purely
an accident, that the automobile was
going slowly and that the man stepped
directly in front of it.
President Taft spent a very anxious
day on Monday, and wired a Boston
surgeon to go to Beverly to look after
the Italian.
The accident seriously interfered with
the plans of the Taft family, who were
preparing TO depart on the Sylph TO
New London to attend the. Harvard
Yale regatta on Thursday. The Presi-
dent was TO have Joined them there.
All plans at this writing have been CIV
en- up, however, and nothing will be
done until the Italian is pronounced
out of danger

THE CABINET DISPENSING.
The Secretary of War On His Way to
Tanila-The Others Going Home.

The members of the Cabinet are
"hiking" to the four quarters of the
compass this week or in few in
stances settling down to Summer tasks
Secretary of War Jacob Dickinson is
on the way across the Pacific to Ma
Mia, whittier he leads a party of Off
cials and of prominent social people
They are on a journey around the
world, the principal object of which, as
FAR as the Secretary of War is con-
cerned, is to pay special visit to the
philippines, that he may have an op-
portunity to oversee the operations of
the Insular Government at close range.
They will not be back in Washington
Kill late in the Autumn.
President Taft fully approves Of this
Journey, because he knows from per-
seonal experience the Importance of OH
icial visits to the Philippines. While
Secretary of War he led a somewhat
.similar party to the Philippines, and
not only made a number of helpful
addresses to the Filipinos, but gath
Tered ideas about the conduct of affairs

TO him after he had returned to Wash

Postmaster General Hitchcock is to
stay in Washington this Summer. at
jlcast for awhile. Besides supervising
some further reforms in the admins
tration of his Department, he has to
take hold OF the preparations for The
! enforcement of the new postal savings
{ bank law, which Congress has lust en-
I acted That law makes the postmas-
/ ter-General Chairman of a Board of
Trustees, of which the Secretary of the
/ Treasury and the Attorney-General are
the other two members. They will
/ have supervision of the operations of
F, postal banks all over the United States.
but the bulk of the duties will fall
upon the Postmaster General, and his
| colleagues in the Treasury and Justice
! Departments will in the course OF
/ things assist him more in an advisory
! capacity. He will have to prepare many
| regulations to supplement the law, and
| these alone, in view of the fact that the
! undertaking is novel one, with no
! experience and no precedents to serve
as guide, will make a large demand
upon the Postmaster Generals time for
some months.
The banks can only be established in
cities and towns where the Board of
( Cabinet Trustees determine. 1t is ex-
pected that Immediately a flood of pc
titions will come in from hundreds of
places for these banks, which certainly
cannot be established as rapidly as the
petitioners would like. The probabIi-
ties are that the banks will be opened
in comparatively few places for quite
time, as policy of conservatism viii!

Veterans in Government Employ.

W. A. Findlay, 1864 E. 18th street,
Brooklyn, N. Y, says that in June of
last year there were 73 reductions and
demotions in the Custom House in
New York, and out of that 38 were vet
Grams. who were reduced in salaries if
not discharged. Nearly every one of
them was physically and mentally able
to perform all the duties incumbent
upon him, and no charges were pre-
ferred to offset their record for years.
1t seems to him that the only hope
lies in the joint resolution introduced
by Congressman Reeder, of Kansas,
protesting against the removal or re-
duction of veterans
