WON'T NEEDLE
IN n. Y. POLITICS
President Taft Will Act Only in Ad-
visory Capacity-He is Visit
ing in New York.

NEW YORK, March % Six days OF
hard travelling, banqueting and speach-
making have had their effect on Presi-
dent Taft and his smile was less III
evidence than usual when he left his
private car at Grand Central station
today TO face lengthy round OF New
York politics and social functions.
The president hurried TO the home
OF his brother, Henry W. Taft for
breakfast He remained there during
the morning resting and occasionally
received a local politician or two.
Tim Woodruff, chairman OF the New
York Republican state committee and
Lloyd c. Griscom, president of the
New York county committee were
among the callers. Mr.. Taft. however.
refrained from discussing the rather
strained situation OF the Republican
party in this state He has taken the
attitude that he ought not TO interfere
in local matters except in emergency
and he has determined to keep out OF
the New York field as much as posi-
Bile. He will advise the warning fac
tons with the idea OF restoring har-
Henry w. Clews, father-in-law or
Rep. Parsons, entertained the presi-
dent at luncheon. Some political OBJ
servers professed to see significance
in this fact, in view OF the recent
strong anti-Cannon attitude OF Par
sons. but the president looked upon
the function as a purely social affair.
Later he was the guest OF honor at
the opening Of the new building OF the
New York Press club. Tonight he
will address the banquet OF the
American Peace and Arbitration
league at the Hotel Astor. and VIII
also look in at the dinner Of Rep. Par
sons at the same hotel.
Political sharps are scanning the
presidents speech last night at Provi-
dence, X. l.. Senator Adrich's BALL
wick. Taft lauded the so-called gen
eral manager OF the United States
and Aldrich in turn swore fealty 10
the Taft politics. and promised his
support lin whatever station CT
public life ! may be.
The dinner at Providence took on a
good deal Of the appearance OF a
Love feast"
The president will end his trip to
night. leaving for Washington after
midnight and arriving at home in time
for a days work at the White House
tomorrow.

ROOSEVELT SEES
ANCIENT T0MBs
Rides Two Hours On Horseback To
City of Thebes-Will Arrive in
Cairo Thursday.

LUXOR, Egypt. March 22.-No bet
ter proof that Col. Roosevelt is still
in fine fettle' could have been fur
nished than his feat today in arising
at o'clock after a particularly weari-
some day yesterday and making of
at o'clock for two hours horseback
ride TO the ruins Of the ancient city
of Thebes.
Most OF the other members OF the
party preferred TO take things a bit
more comfortable. and even the news
paper correspondents showed no
eagerness fer the strenuous campaign
mapped out by the expresident.
The visit TO Thebes was by far the
most interesting experience Mr.. Roose-
welt has enjoyed since he began the
sightseeing part of his trip. The trip
across the Nile and the horseback ride
seemed TO give him an unusual zest
for the days work The tombs of the
ancient kings of Egypt. in the hills
behind the temples OF karrak. were
visited and the history of each ex-
planned by Director Of Antiquities Wei
gall.
After the tombs had been explored,
the colonel viewed the CollOssi or
Rameseum. Derel and Bahri. without
seeing which no trip TO Egypt is ever
considered complete. That Mr.. Roose-
welt was deeply impressed by the won
ders Of ancient Egypt, was shown by
his close questioning of Director Wei
gall. who in turn was surprised by the
intimate knowledge by the colonel Of
the history of the ruins.
Luncheon was served at the resi-
dence of Theodore Davis, a well-known
antiquarian.
To-day sightseeing trip was intend
ed strictly as a family affair This
restriction was made necessary by the
large number Of Americans in Luxor,
many OF whom have been drawn here
by the presence OF Roosevelt. So
many OF the Americans indicated a
desire to accompany the party that 1t
was soon found that If any "outsid-
ers" were permitted the trip would
assume the proportions OF Niagara
Falls excursion
At o'clock this afternoon the party
returned 10 the Winter Palace hotel
where a reception in the colonel's
honor will be given. Tomorrow even
ing the ROosevelts leave for Cairo,
arriving there Thursday. when for four
or five days a program OF visits and
receptions will be gone through.
