TAFT CAMPAIGN BUREAU
NOT FORMED. PRESIDENT
BEING OPPOSED TO 1T.

Washington, Feb. 6.--Following the
return of President Taft from his sue
cessful stumping tour in Ohio, and the
upward trend OF his candidacy for re-
nomination which the present week
has Witnessed, there has been reviv-
al Of the report that. within a short
time. there Is 60 be established I'm this
city Taft political headquarters, with
a competent man I'm charge. for the ag-
gressive direction OF the Taft renom-
ination campaign, This report, how
ever. according TO the best information
available today. is without warrant.
The president has been seen by several
OF his political Friends since his re-
turn. and urged 10 establish such a
bureau. but he has not only failed to
give his consent but has let it be
known that he Is opposed on principle
tc such program.
AS learned through men with whom
he has talked. Mr. Taft takes the posi-
tlon that II would he undignlfied I'm
him tn get into an open scramble for
denomination. He alleges that his rec
ord speaks for itself, and should, with
out further argument. insure a renom-
ination. If 1t doesn't then he holds
that II would be useless To get up an
organization such as his friends have
advised. The president opinion has
been strengthened by the views Of
members OF his Family and of Otto
Barnard OF New York. who is very
close to'him on political matters. Sec
retary Hilles is understood to favor an
but In this matter it is
evident that the president is not fol-
lowing Hilles.
Pressure is Insistent.
Meanwhile, pressure for a Taft or
ganization in washington. where men
from tho several states may go to talk
over political situpations and give and
receive suggestions is insistent and
continuous. la Toilette has such an
here. and so have Harmon
and Wilson. Under the present ar
Taft Republicans from the
states come TO Washington TO get ad- |
vice regarding situations at home, and
find nobody with whom to talk. Usual |
ly they go away i'm disgust. These
men, and some OF the presidents close
friends have told him that he is far
from being the only person who has
important interests at stake i'm the
coming campaign. They point to the
desire of the party to elect state and
officers in all the states. and of
The strong pressure from the local pol
ticians that something be done to In
ject ginger into the campaign.
There is one grain Of comfort in the
Taft attitude, how~ver- II he should
be renOminated without the aid of an
organization. he will have a unique
place m American political history
He will occupy his niche alone. Once
;afely by the national convention, this
act would be expected to help him

BUSIEST OF BUSY BEES.
Taken South in Winter. They Work
 the Year Round
From Outing.

From Outing.
 Although bees are apt to turn out on any sunshiny day, the bulk of their work is done by the first of November and they have retired for their winters sleep. The beekeeper must now put cushions into the tops of the hives, taking only what honey he is sure can be spared by the bees, and leave them for their hiber- nation.
 In Florida there is no such work to do. The bees work all winter and they have as good feed in February and March as they do in July. The orange orchards are alive with the honey gatherers. and their buzzings blend into almost roar in March, for that is when the orange flowers are open; but 1t must be confessed that the honey has a twang, something like the acidity of an orange, and 1t does not compare at all with that made from the basswood
 Besides the orange there are successive flowerings of legumes of all sorts all the year. every one having a positive flavor and very few of them giving to honey familiar flavor. Yet Florida is a natural home of the bee, and honey in the southern states will yet become as fa- miliar product as cane sugar.
 In the Mississippi valley and elsewhere professional beekeepers carry their hives to the south to meet the coming of the flowers early in the season. turning around toward the north and carrying them to gather the later sweets from later flowerin gapples and berries. In this way, or by carrying them up and down mountain sides .the feeding spells on clover or basswood and other trees can be greatly heightened.

Two Miles Below Surface

Halifax, N. S., April 15-The death bed of the s10,0000O0 steamer Titanic and of
 probably many persons who must have
 been dragged down with her, is two
 miles at least below the surface of the sea.
 The calculation was made by an of-
 fcial of the government marine depart-
 ment who finds that depth on the marine chart at a point about 300 miles from Halifax and about 70 miles south of the Grand Banks where he believes the Titanic went down.
 This location is midway between Sable Island and Cape Race, and in line with those dangerous sands which, however, might have proved place of safety had there been time to run the Titanic there
 and reach her.
 The Canadian warship Niobe, which
 has one of the most powerful wireless equipments of any vessel in this vicinity,
 was unable to get in tune with any of the ships in the vicinity of the Titanic disaster and the government station at Camperdown heard only fragmentary parts of messages.
 Lloyds' agents here had not received
 late tonight any official notification of the loss of the Titanic.

Titanic Insured

New York, April 15.-The Titanic was in sured at Lloyds for $5.0000 900, according to advices from London and it was said here that the International Mercantile Marine company also carried a surplus fund for insurance purposes which could be applied 10 the loss. The cost of building the great liner has been estimated at s1o,- eco, although Vice President Franklin of the White Star line insisted tonight that her value was not over SS.09 ,O00
 The total monetary loss caused by the sinking of the ship. however, is certain to run to many millions more. but the total amount cannot even be conjectured. It is generally understood that the vessel had aboard diamonds of great value estimated as high as 100000 and also a large amount of bonds. The amount of freight carried was comparatively small for the size of the ship and according to a White Star official tonight its value would not reach over S500000.
 The Titanic carried 3423 bags of mail of unknown value which it is hardly likely was saved.

Early Top Hats

from the lonuon chronicle.
 Silk hats were known in France some years before John Hetherington fright tened Londoners by wearing one. They came in with the French revolution, when all patriotic citizens abandoned wigs and had their hair cut short. Engravings printed so early as 1790 depict sans culotte dandes wearing top hats. In rare print of the trial of the Girondists. which took place in 1793, all the judges appear crowned with silk hats. Although the silk top hat is not much more than a hundred years old, hats of that shapewere worn hundreds of years before. Tn Eliza bethan times a cylindrical hat with a hrim rather similar to tat of the "fif- ties and with the addition of a plume. was worn by the nobility. According to Raphael 1t was worn very much earlier even than that. A red top hat appears in the cartoon Paul Preaching at Ath- ens'

From the London Daily News.
 pr. A. F. R. Wollaston has practically completed the arrangements for his forth coming expedition to New Guinea. Dr. Wollaston is taking out with him from England a specially constructed motor- boat which he will employ in navigating the Wt2k-'s river, by means of which he hopes to reach the Snow mountains. Dr. Wollaston's objective is the highest point of the main ridge of the Nassau range. The last British expedition got to within thirty miles of it, but this seemingly short distance involves a climb of 16000 feet by the world,
