PRESIDENT SLIPPED
 CROWD AT NEW HAVEN
Police Worried When Chiel Executive Disappeared
 Wanted a Rest

New Haven, June 24-How Presi- dent Taft slipped out of the Yale Din- ing hall immediately after the alumni dinner and with only the secret ser vice men and Major Butt went to his car Ideal, near Union Station and enjoyed a nap until about 5 o'clock delaying the opening of the reception at Memorial hall, which was to start at 4:30 o'clock and keeping Yale au- thorities. detachment of local police Serving as his escort and a big crowd at the reception guessing as to where he was, came out to-day.
 It is a known characteristic of the President that he does about as he pleases and it seems it pleased him to have a rest after the alumni din- ner yesterday. Quietly he left the hall with one or two of his secret ser- vice men and Major Butt. His going was not noticed particularly. He jumped into an auto and drove di- rectly to his car, where he had the rest he desired, and all the time the crowd at the alumni dinner was won- dering where the executive had gone and whether he was to return, but he didn't. The reception in Memorial hall was to start at 4:30, but it pleas ed the President it appears to have his nap extend up to o'clock. The crowd filled the rotunda of the big building at Grove and College streets, but the reception was not formally op- ened until the President arrived about 6:20 It was some time later that it became generally known that the President was tired and had been having a quiet and peaceful rest by his lonesome in his car near the de- pot.
 The delay in opening the reception started all sorts of reports as to where the President was. He was some making a call at the home of Col. I. a former trip to this city, according to the stories heard in the crowd but as a matter of fact, according to the story told to-day he was resting quiet ly in his car all the time that the hundreds of Yale folks were wonder ing where he could possibly be.
 At the commencement in Wesleyan last year President Taft broke up the procession by ordering his ma chine stopped so he could pay his re- spects to some students in one of the chapter houses who had given him a particularly rousing cheer. He stop ped the whole procession for some minutes while he went inside the house. Also on this occasion he broke up plans for his trip from one college quarter to another. With police lin- ed up from a building to h8 auto at the curb he passed up the formal pro- cession saying he thought he would walk to another building in which he was scheduled and he took a short cut to another to attend exercises.

NEW HAVEN BOYS
 INVENT MUFFLER
To be Used on Motorboats- Said to be Far Superior to
 Ordinary Kind

New Haven, June 24.-United States patent has been issued to Edwin A. Hall and, Frank G. Hall, former stu dents of Sheffield Scientific school of Yale, for a novel form of muffler or silencer for motor-boat eXhausts. Here tofore the motor-boat has used the or dinary muffler of the automobile, which muffles the exhaust gas from the motor by passing it through many small holes in a closed chamber. Such a device gets very hot and puts a back pressure on the motor1 Water being so plentiful about motor-boats it occurred to the Halls, who are brothers. 1903 Shelf and 1889 Shelf, re- spectively, to cool the exhaust gas just as it issues from the motor by mixing with it all of the water circu- lated from the cylinder jackets. It was found that a thorough mixture would take place and no friction or back pressure If the gas was given a whirling motion and passed through the exhaust was instantly subtracted and resultantly the pressure-eliminat- ing practically all noise.
 The device, which is known to the navy department as the Hydrex si- lencer, has been tested by United approval. It is thought that this in- vention will overcome the objections from residents along water fronts caused by unceasing noise of pleasure and working boat exhausts.
 If suitable arrangements can be made for getting the intricate castings the silencer may be made in New Haven. N Being constructed of durable cast metal the silencer will withstand the salt air so fatal to the old sheet iron muffler. New York, Boston, Prov idence and smaller coast cities have passed strict ordinances against mo- tor-boat exhaust nuisance and in the metropolis police boats recently ar- rested offenders wherever found.
