TAFT OUTLINES TRIP PROGRAM,
Will Speak on Tariff, Peace, Arbitra.
ton and Reciprocity.

Beverly, Massachusetts,. President
Taft has definitely selected some of
the subjects on which he will speak
on the Western trip that begins next
month. He told callers that the tar.
id, peace and arbitration, currency re-
form. reciprocity and conservation
would probably form a nucleus for his
speechmaking. He will made address,
es on many other subjects, but the
topics named would make a sort of
big five" around which speeches that
he deems less important might be
made.
His position in regard to attempted
tariff legislation at the special session
and at the session that begins in De.
cember will also furnish him with
plenty of material.
The presidents program Of rest was
broken 50 that he might see Frank
b. Kellogg, former government trust
buster. and John Hays Hammond, but
beginning next week he will adhere
strictly to the rest cure.

Miller. president Of the Burlington
road. Plans for the work are still
In formative state. but It is expect

gregate amount to be invested, Of
which $14.000.000 is for the land, now
owned by the i've roads that will use
the station. $6.000.000 for the building,
and $5,000,000 for track changes and
other improvements. af
The plans provide for an entrance
on Canal street with the train sheds
stretching back between jackson boul-
evard and Adams street. The termin.
al will occupy all the space now used
by the roads for trackage and will
give IA tracks north Of the station and
Is south. The question Of using cleo
trio engines for bringing trains into
the station is being considered. The
Chicago Association of Commerce has
a committee investigating the practt-
bility OF electricity and the roads
have said they will be governed by
the recommendations of the commit
tee.
The station will be built and operat-
ed by a holding company owned by
