PRESIDENT TAFT
D|SPELS CLOUDS

Will Talk to Villagers,
and Thus Relieve
Tension.
AT LOGGERHEADS
WITH COLONISTS
Plans of Ultra-Fashionable for
Entertainment of Chief Magis-
trate Did Not Include Any
Concessions to Village
ok Selectmen In
clined to Be sulky.

Bar Harbor, Maine. July 21.-Presi-
dent Taft will speak on the village
green here tomorrow at noon, and
have q chance to see the year-around
residents Of this famous watering
place, and to be seen by them. Until
Mr.. Taft's intention to do this was
announced to-day. war clouds were
gathering fast between the Maine
citizens and the members of the fash
ionabie summer colony, whose plans
for the entertainment Of the chief
magistrate and the members of his
yachting party failed to include any
concessions TO the village folk. of whom
there are about 900.
The President was informed of the
situation to-day by J. P. Bass, OF
suggestion that he make little speech
to the villagers. The details were
quickly arranged. and placards an
nouncinS the event soon were posted
at every vantage point and in all but
the ultra-fashionable shop windows.
Little Sulliy.
The selectmen, the ruling powers
OF the township, were inclined to be
little sulky when they first heard the
plan. First Selectman j. z. Bunkman.
Jr.. voiced the sentiment OF his as
sociates when ne declared that tele-
gram had been sent to the President
at East Port. and that as no accept
ance of the invitation to speak had
been received, the town fathers" felt
there was no more for them to do. and
they were through with the matter.
However, they thought that as long as
the advances came from the other
side" they would be glad to have the
people see and hear the President,
Tonight the Threatened clouds had
all rolled away and there was quite
lot Of enthusiasm.
Social affairs and golf occupied the
Presidents day. He had buck board
ride out to Jordan Pond, nine-mile
drive from here, tonight for a shore
supper Of lobster and other sea dain-
ties.
Indians Capsized.
The most exciting incident of the
Presidents cruise thus far was the
rescue of two Indians who capsized
their canoe, while the Mayhower was
at anchor in Passam oquoddy Bay.
They had padded out to have close
look at the Presidents big white
yacht. Mr.. Taft was on deck. The In
dians stood up to have q better look,
and a moment later there was a
splash, an overturned canoe. and two
hats floating on the water. The cry
of man overheard" rang from one
end of the yacht to the other. The
boatswain's shrill whistle piped the
men of the crew to the life boats. The
President called out for something to
be thrown to the men at once.
BY this time the men were on the
surface. One clutched the canoe,
while the other was making an effort
to reach the Mayfower. Boats were
quickly lowered, and the Indians We're
hauled out little the worse for their
wetting. A passing rowboat took
them ashore.
