Mr.. TAFT'S,' SUMMER PLANS.

Will Reopen. Executive Offices In 6ev-
erly Some Time In June.
, The board Of trade rooms in the Ma
son building, Beverly, Mass, are to be
used again by President Taft for the
executive Office force again this sum-
mer. Secretary Hilles wrote the board
officials recently asking If the rooms
could be had again this year, and he
was told that the business men would
be pleased to extend the courtesy.
Two years ago Charles D. Norton,
then secretary to the president, at
tempted to get away from the town by
renting the Pickering cottage in To-
throp street, but the plan proved such
an expensive one to the members Of
the Office force that it was abandoned
last summer, and the board of trade
Offices were taken again. The Offices,
will be opened in June.
The Peabody cottage, Parramatta, In
Corning street, the summer home of
the president and his family, is to be
put in readiness for occupancy in June
New gardens are to be laid about the

TO COIN THREE CENT PIECES.
Half Cent Coins Also Favored by Sec
rotary Maeveagh.

Half Cent Coins Also Favored by Sec
rotary Maeveagh.
Urged by Secretary Of the Treasury
MacVeagh and George e. Roberts, d.
rector Of the mint, the house passed
the bill Of Representative Buckley for
the coinage Of three cent pieces, one
half cent pieces and change in the
composition Of coppers.
Secretary MacVeagh says there Is
genuine demand for both the three
and the one-half cent coins. The style
Of the three cent piece has been left
to the treasury officials. It was ex-
planned to the committee by Director
Roberts that in all probability the
new three cent piece would have a
deep scalloped edge similar to small
coins used in some Of the foreign
countries, which, he says, have proved
entirely satisfactory. The milling on
the edge will be made so that the three
cent piece will easily be distinguish
able from the ten cent piece. During
the period when three cent pieces were
being circulated the similarity with
the ten cent piece caused much confu-
sion and was one Of the reasons behind
the decision to stop the coinage Of the
three cent pieces.
Secretary MacVeagh says half cent
pieces will prove to be a boon to the
slot machine manufacturers. There Is
legitimate trade in small articles sold
through the agency of slot machines.
the department officials say. They
pointed out before the committee, for
one thing, the wax cups sold in rail-
way stations for which the purchaser
drops q, penny in the slot.

AIRsHIPS FOR TURKEY.

Sultan offers $4,000 From Private
Purse For Air Corps.
The Turkish government has voted
100000 and the sultan has contribut-
ed $4,000 from his private purse for
the installation Of regular aviation
service in the army.
A school will be created for the
training Of suitable men in the art of
aviation. Already two aeroplanes have
arrived from France with every mod
ern requisite and well trained pilots.
A number Of other flying machines Of
various types have been ordered. 1t is
intended to choose the plain of the vii
lage of San Stefano, where the IA
nous Turko-Russian treaty was sign
ed in 1877, as a place most suitable for
purposes Of exercise.
The first effort was made on April
II, the ascension day Of Sultan
Mehmed v. The padishah himself and
all the royal princes were present. The
ladies of the imperial harem attended
the flying performances in closed court
carriages. They watched the flights
from the interior through the glass
windows as best they could.
The orthodox section Of the popula.
tion shake their heads with some mis-.
givings at what they consider the
'Ineerest and most dangerous innova.
ton of the west. They do not think 1t
will help them much in their conflict
with the Italians.
Give us bayonet," they say, "and
let US face the enemy not in the air OF
