Need of Vocational Schools.

President Taft also spoke word in
favor of more vocational schools for the
blind, and closed with earnest praise of
the Holt sisters. who had the most to do
with founding the New York Association
for the Blind.
Miss Winifred Holt, the secretary OF the
association and moving spirit of the ex-
hibition, with whom President Taft had
dned earlier in the evening. read a letter
from Helen Keller 1.-THE foremost blind
woman in the world saying that the
work of the New York association in
turning blind people to profitable employ
ment had opened up what might be
termed new era for the blind. Before
the association was organized. she said.
X was generally thought that the public
had done its duty by the blind when it
provided them with an asylum and edu-
cation.
From the blind exhibit the President
went TO the list Regiment Armory. n v
\: g.: where he reviewed the men. The
9th Regiment also demanded Mr. Taft's
presence. and he dropped in upon them
at dinner at the Hotel Astor for a. few
minutes before proceeding to the Hun
garian Republican Club dinner.
On his spin downtown the President
was saluted by cheers all along the line,
Second avenue turned ont goodly crowd
Tor dozen blocks along his course many
OF the East Siders having lined the streets
for more than an hour waiting for him.
Shortly after II o'clock the President
reached the Cafe Boulevard where the
dinner was held. and where he sat down
amid deafening ovation.
Guests of Hungarians.
The other guests at the dinner included
Baron Won Hengelmuller. the Austrian
ambassador: Lloyd c. Griscom, Oscar s.
Strauss. William Loeb. jr., Henry W. Taft.
Herbert Parsons. William Barnes. IT.. and
Representative Sulzer.
Marcus Braun. president Of the club, de-
livered brief address in weIcomine
President Taft. 1t was after 1 O'Clock
when the President spoke. and his re-
marks were brief. He said that he felt
a particular interest in Austria Hungary,
through tho intimate acquaintance of the
Austrian ambassador and Count Apponyi
1t was his fathers honor the President
said. to have been minister to Austria
Hungary from 1883 to 1885.
Accepts Jeweled Badge.
An incident of honor in connection with
the Presidents visit was the presentation
to him at a reception of the Military
Order CT Foreign wars of a gold teweled
badge, representing honorary membership
in the order. The President was guest of
the order at a reception earlier in the
evening, at which he said he believed the
honor had come to him in the capacity
of commander-in-chief of the army and
navy.
But l am inclined to think said the
President. that that President is the
best COMMUNICATIVE chief of the army and
navy who has the least to do with the
movement of those forces and delegates
that to real naval or military men. / am
glad to be a member Of this society, ana
hope l may not disgrace 1t by anything

Palmas population.
The American government has no ad-

One official stated that aside from senti-

not sought to officially keep in touch with

Ottawa, O1t., Feb. 1.-THE Conservative
party, which is bitterly opposed to Premier
Laurier's policy, Is making vigorous CAM
paien on the issue that commercial union
followed by annexation 10 the United States

reciprocity agreement. This sentiment
dominated a three hours speech by George
T. Foster to-day. In the days OF Conserva-

tration His speech to-day is considered
typical In length and earnestness of long
series to come from both sides. Nearly
every member is preparing speech, and 1t
is not expected that vote VIII be reached
for at least three weeks.
Mr.. Foster began his arguments with
declaration that as the result of the reel
procity agreement Yankee trusts and
money interests would own or control
Canada's natural resources" II was the
thin end of the wedge. he said, which would
