Taft Late at Church.
The President slept late to-day-an I'M
usual thing for him. He had been up late
last night reading the convention bulletins
TO Mrs. Taft as they were flashed into the
White House Offices over special wire.
Mr.. Taft had TO hurry TO church and missed
his usual morning exercise. He went to
services accompanied only by two Secret
Service men. Major Butt always went to
church with the President, but since his
death Mr.. Taft has gone alone.
Mr.. Taft attended All Souls Unitarian
Church, where he always worshps In
Washington. The Rev. L. G. b. Pierce
chaplain OF the Senate, preached on prac-
teal ethics from the text, BE ye rich In
good works" ITO help and inspire others,
that is the real joy OF living" said the
clergyman in conclusion.
On July the home circle at the White
House will be broken and the President
Will take his entire family 10 Beverly. The
President will return to Washington on
July g. With his political advisers he will
then begin TO map out his campaign, and
there seems to be little doubt that he will
make an extensive speaking trip.

SENATORS WOULD
LIMIT POWER Of
THE COMMISSIONERS
Harbor Bill AS Reported,
Gives Authority to Sec
retary of War.

The river and harbor bill as re-
ported from the Senate Committee on
Commerce contains provisions of i'm
'portance to the District with reference
to the regulation Of harbor lines. Here
after harbor lines in the District of
Columbia, on the Potomac and Anna
costa rivers, will be In full control of
the Secretary of War. For some years
the Commissioners have had a certain
measure Of control over these harbor
lines which could not be modified unless
they were consulted.
The Senate committee struck down the
authority of the Commissioners in this
matter, however, and applied the pro,
visions of the general act of 1899 with
reference to harbor lines to the Po-
tomac and Anacostia rivers In the Dis
trict The effect of this is that harbor
lines in the District are to be es-
tabiished harbor lines as he deems them
necessary for the protection and preser-
walton of the harbors here.
The Commerce Committee also report
ed In favor Of repeating the old law that
limits the local engineer for the Dis
tr1ct to $s5 per month for the rental of
offices.
Another item Is an amendment allow
Ing $l00, 900 for the construction at the
Engineer School of building with IL
brary accommodations and other facili-
ties for the instruction of officers OF the
Engineer Corps in duties pertaining to
the Improvement of rivers and harbors.

the South, where he broke the world 3
record for climbing 800 feet. In his own
design machine, the Columbia biplane,

professional aviator in a speed contest
In Montgomery, flying at rate of sixty
five miles an hour. He now Is having
n monoplane constructed in this city, in

WILSON GIVES TAFT
FIRST HAND NEWS
OF MEXICAN WAR
Ambassador Arrives for Con-

Are Kept Secret.

Henry Lane Wilson, United States
ambassador to Mexico, arrived in
Washington this morning in response TO
went to the White House early and
remained In conference with the Presi-
dent for more than an hour.
The ambass refused to give, the
result of his conference, saying that
he would issue a statement detailing
the object of his mission after he had
talked with Secretary Knox.
He admitted, however. that the State
Department would not deal with Enrile,
deposed financial agent of the Orozco
revolution. who new is held prisoner by
United States authorities at El Paso.
Mr. Wilson said the Department Of
Justice would have charge Of that mat
ter.
Attorney General Wickersham prior to
the Cabinet meeting said he had not
ney ar Ell Paso just what steps are
contemplated In the case Of the pris-
oner.
1t has been suggested that the De-
partment bring Enrile to this city,
where he would be the most valuable
witness before the Senate committee
charged with finding out what interests
have furnished and still are furnishing
funds to carry on the war against the
Madero administration.
Reports OF the revolution in Mexico
are meager. The consul at Salina
Cruz reports that the general situation
Is unchanged, but that feeling toward
foreigners seems to be more friendly.

II do not know whether they fled

are entitled, and In addition have drawn

Senator Warren said that while there
