PRESIDENT TAFT's PLANS.
He lntends~to Remain in Washington
Until July 3.


Washington, June 23-while many
Republican leaders thought today that
the adjournment of Congress would
take place by Thursday. and not later
than Saturday, President Taft himself
win not be disappointed If the date is
as late as the 30th. The president will
remain i'm Washington three or four
days after adjournment to see and talk
with republicans who have not had as
much of his time as they wished on
political matters I'm their respective
states. He may be here until July 3,
but he has an engagement at Cam
bridge, Mass, July 4. and will not re-
turn here after that If he can help 1t.
The president will make some ap-
pointments before leaving, but the i'm
portart appointments provided in some
of the bills that have become laws and
will become laws will go over until
next fall. The president for instance,
will probably not appoint the judges of
I the Commerce Court provided for in
the railroad bill. which the Chief Ex-
ecutive signed Saturday night, until
next December. His policy is not to
make judicial appointments until Con-
cress is i'm session to act, so that the
Judges or justices can assume their
duties without bubble or question,
such as might arise from a between
session appointment.
II Justice Moody retires from the
| Supreme court as he Is expected to do
If the special retirement bill goes
{ through congress. his successor will
not be named until next December.
which makes II certain that the To-
bacco Trust and Standard Oil cases
must be settled by bench of eight
and not the full bench of nine, as had
been hoped. These cases have been
set for argument next November
The rivers and harbors bill is upon
the presidents desk ready for sigma
ture, and he wants to go over 1t before
appending his signature. The presi-
dent signed the railroad bill without
reading IL over. He was, however
fully informed as to its contents and
felt sure that a measure which had
been so closely scrutinized as this
would have no serious errors or jokers
