TAFT GETS REST
BEFORE SPEECH
President Enjoys Vacation
Before Indiana Tour.

Beverly, July President Taft has
thoroughly enjoyed his first days vaca-
ton for this summer. He arrived here
this morning and leaves tomorrow morn
ing to go back, first to speechmaking in
Indiana and then to Washington to avail,
the adjournment Of Congress.
1t was a very short week-end-one day
and one days recreation is such a sug-
gestive nibble that II is apt to prove ex.
asperating in its very pleasures, espec.
tally to a vacation hungry man, as Mr.
Taft Is after his hard winter.
He seemed to gobble up every minute OF
the days fun and rather more greedy to-
night than before. His mind only touched
upon official business once to-day. II
was about reciprocity.
Looking over the beautiful North
Shore landscape and inhaling the air
from the sea, he expressed the hope
that the report from Washington that
the really obstructive opposition to
reciprocity had ended was true, and
that the Senate was now content upon
reciprocity after some of the Senators
had recorded their views upon the SUBJ
ject In speeches.
The President will motor from Bev-
erly to Boston in the morning and board
his car there for Indiana. He has de-
cided not to discuss general tariff ques-
tions at Indianapolis in his address there
on the Fourth. He will confine himself to
reciprocity entirely

timouy. the father Of yondermiIleri

had changed his name on account Of an
alleged forgery.
Mrs. vondermilier, wife Of the ac-
cussd, testified that during her ten years
acquaintance with the two men she had
known Of only one quarrel between Won
dermiiIer and Reeves, prior TO the one
which terminated fatally. Mrs. Wonder
miller testified that her husband had lived
in mortal fear Of Reeves for years, and
that Reeves dominated him. She ad-
mitted. however, Reeves did not follow
her husband out Of the house after he
had snapped a pistol In his face on the
Sunday night preceding the tragedy. She
testified she had sat on the front porch
OF Reeves house with him and his wife
until 10 o'clock Sunday night. and that
her husband sat on the porch OF Robert
Syphax, across the road.
Cornelius syphax was placed on the
stand for the defense and testified that
vondermiler while sitting on the porch
Of the syphax house had looked across the
road at Reeves and said: There he il
now; win kill him"
Mr.. syphax stated that Reeves heard
tho remark. but did not leave the porch
After adjournment Of the court at
o'clock yesterday afternoon. the jury was
conducted under escort Of Sheriff William
Palmer to the scene of the tragedy to
give its members an opportunity to ex.
anime the syphax Station and its rela-
tion to the trial.

THINKS She HEARS
SHOT, THEN FAINTS
Woman Startled by Noise,
and Police Respond.

While in the parlor Of her home, s07 L
street northwest, about Il o'clock last
night, Miss Minnie A. Coulter, dancing
teacher. was startled by what she be-
lieved was the report Of a pistol. She
promptly tainted. A friend ran to her aid
and called a neighbor
In the meantime some one sent tele-
phone message to the Second precinct
station, saying a woman had been shot.
Lieut.. Hodges and the reserves responded
and searched the house for traces of
some one with a revolver, or marks in
the woodwork that could have been made
by bullet.
The friend of Miss Coulter who went
to her aid said the report might possibly
have been the slamning of a door, and
the police are inclined to accept his
theory. A large crowd gathered, and
with dificulty the reserves broke 1t up.

In philanthropic and charitable work.
Mr.. Sleman's interest. amounted to an
absorbing passion. He has been treas
urer OF the Playground Association. a
director OF Neighborhool House, a mem
Der Of the Board OF Charities. and Of
President Roosevelt's homes commission.
Active Civic worker.
In the civic life Of Washington he main
tanned an energetic interest. He was q
member OF the Board of Trade and the
Chamber OF Commerce, a charter mem
ber OF the Commercial Club and trustee
OF the Public Library He belonged to
the University Club, the Washington
Country and Columbia Country Clubs,
and the National Geographic Society and
the Washington Society Of Fine Arts.
He was member of Temple Lodge, F.
A. A. NJ, and OF Lafayette Chapter.
Perhaps the distinction which brought
Mr.. Sleman a nationwide fame as a pro-
moter and inspirer OF religious enthusi-
asm was the Laymen's Missionary Move
ment. He was the accredited originator Of
that effort, which stirred the missionary
zeal Of North American churches so
nightly In the last four years.
1t happened that Mr.. Sleman attended
the Nashville convention OF the Student
Volunteer Convention in 1906 and there
the vision OF the application of modern
business methods to the propaganda of
the Christian faith in missionary fields
was seen by him as a young business
man. He conceived the idea Of an or
ganization OF laymen who should answer
the challenge of the great student body
Of North, America offering young lives
for evangelization by giving more largely
Of their wealth to send these missionaries.
The centennial of the famous Hay
stack prayer meeting, which was cele-
brated In the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
Church of New York City in Novem-
ber. 1906, gave the occasion for the for
NAL adoption of Mr.. Sleman's plan for
the organization OF the Laymen's Mis-
sionary Movement. 1t proposed to inves-
tiEate the fields at first hand. to devise
an adequate policy for meeting the big
problem OF world evangelization, and to
awaken the latent energy Of American
business men in executing the task. The
whole enterprise in fits initial stages had
behind It the organizing genius Of Wash
