Washington on political mission.
Mr.. Bugher is stopping at the resi-
dence Of his uncle, John r. Mclean.
Il simply came 20 Washington to see
my mother" Mr.. Bugher said. Il ex-
pect to be here a couple Of days. but I
have no appointment with the Presi-

Nevertheless It is thoubht that Mr..
Bugker's presence in Washington will
bring his case TO a crisis, and that he
will be a visitor at the White House 20
morrow or Tuesday.
Surveyor of Port.
President Taft is anxious 70 make
Bugher surveyor % the port to succeed
the veteran GARRISON. Bugher has been
deputy commissioner OF police IN New
York Tor several years. Notwithstanding
his wealth and a youth OF comparative
idleness. Bugher. who IS only thirty -four
years old. possesses real ability. This
has been demonstrated since he entered
the police department Of New York
with that stormy petrol. Commissioner
Bingham.
When Bingham was forced out Of
office by Mayor Mcclellan last year
BUgher Loyalty handed in his resigna-
! tion. but the Mayor would not accept Il
