NEWARK GIVES
WARM GREETING
TO Pres. TAFT

children. A few minutes before the
President and his escort reached that
point a squad of mounted police halted
all traffic n kept the crowd inside
the curb on both sides.
IN response to the greeting the
nations chief executive raised his hat
and wore the smile that has greeted
millions.
One of the traffic pedestals in Mar
ket street was knocked dow by one
of the troopers horses just prior to
the passing of the automobile in which
President Taft was riding. Rounds
man Mcmahon, who was near the spot,
rushed out and placed the pedestal in
position, and the chauffeur of the
Presidents auto was thus prevented
from making a slight turn which
would have been necessary.
Nearing the City Hall 1t was noticed
that the buyer of the First Troop
drew ahead and made ready as If to
give a signal for a salute to the city
officials. One glance showed that
there was nothing doing, and he was
recalled to the line and the Parade
81 ept by the City Hall without the
least sign of recognition on the part
of the presidential party.
The City Hall, an inanilnate thing,
could not recognize the party. and
there was no one In the building to do
SO. Mayor Haussling is in Florida,
and every offic; in the building was
tightly closed ON account of the holi-
day.
Before luncheon was served the
President mingled with the guess and
spent a social hour He vas also rer-
m.tted to rest. His program today is
so full that this was almost essential.
The luncheon is, Of course, the chief
reason of President Taft's visit.
