He Will Return to Cincin-

Start the Fourth Genera
tion of the Taft Family
in the Profession.

Washington. D. c.. June 19-Pres-
ident Taft. in a happy vein. delivered
an address to the Commercial Club Of
Cincinnati today in which he lightly
referred to the possibility Of going
back to a less active life. away from
the presidency. as having both well
come and unwelcOme phases"
He said that in the absence OF any
provision for ex-presidents he would
open a law office in his old home
city and that he was determined that
his son Robert should work out his
life amid those surroundings.
Mr.. Taft was speaking at the Chevy
Chase club here in the Washington
suburbs. at a luncheon rendered him
there by the Cincinnati Commercial
club. and was formally accepting for
Mrs. Taft and himself a silver rose
bowl. presented by the Cincinnatians
The president said: Mrs. Taft and
I esteem the coming OF the Com
mercial club here to attend our silver
wedding anniversary as the chief
pleasure of the occasion. II Is not so

was a change that only a man who
has been through it. can fully under
stand. The prospect of going back to
a less active life has in il at this
time some phases that are welcome
and some that are unwelcome.
The necessity for labor that will
follow my retirement. however. re-
lieves me somewhat from anxiety on
that score. There is as vet. so far
as I have been informed. no provision
for an eX-president; and while I do
not wish 10 hold out any competition

FIRST FRAGMENTS
OF MAINE VICTIMS
THERE Is NO HOPE OF IDENTI-
FlCATlON.

covery this morning Of some human

pose Of recovering and giving honor
able sepulchre to the bodies Of her
crew, was at last begun after many
weary months Of preliminary work
While the worknien were clearing
the spar deck in the immediate Vi
cinity OF the after port side turret,
they found the bones of a right foot
enclosed in a ragged remnant OF a
shoe and nearby the bones Of fore
arm with the hand missing Soon
after this they came upon the bones
Of another forearm. All were black
ened possibly from fire and deeply
encrusted with coral growth
No hope of identification is offered
except the shoes duggested that the
wearer probably wGs either an Off
Ger or mess attendant or a member
of the marine guard, blue jackets in
the tropics habitually f)ing bare
footed. Further explorations of that
portion of the ship did not reveal
anything which might assist in identi-
ficatiOn
The remains were placed in a re-
ceptacle on board the United States
collier Leonidas. Search of the spar
deck and officers quarters in super
structure resulted in the discovery of
a paper covered novel on which the
owners name on the title page was
illegible. a pair of binoculars, much
corroded. two raincoats. q barrel of
bottles Of mineral water and a quan-
tity Of porcelain belonging - the cap

articles stood well the action of the
water but the metallic objects were
almost unidentifiahle.
During the morning a leak devel-
oped in the south side of the Golfer
dam but it was stopped. The water
level had been lowered at nightfall
to fourteen feet. leaving visible all
the spar deck from the stern to for
ward part of the ship.
According to Brigadier General

many weeks will elapse before a full
exploration of the sunken Maine is
