PRESIDENT MAY LEAVE
FOR NORTH TOMORROW
Mr.. Taft Expects to Go to
Beverly as Soon as Con-
gress Adjourns.

Should Congress adjourn tomorrow aft
ernoon at 4 o'clock. as seems assured,
President Taft will leave almost fmme-
diately afterward for Beverly for his
summer vacation. Just how long he will
remain in Beverly has not been deter
mined, but the President may not return
here until toward the end of October.
He has made plans to spend a goodly
part Of one Of the fall months. probably
in November after the election, at Hot
Springs.
A large part Of the working force Of
the White House Will accompany the
President to Beverly. This will include
Secretary Thompson. Assistant Secreta-
ries Forster and Brahany and a number
OF others.
The usua, force at Beverly in the
summer is not large, but the presiden-
tial campaign will immensely increase
the work to be done there and make
1t necessary to have a large clerical
force at the summer capital. The
President will play golf, take motor
trips, horseback rides and walks In
and around Beverly and get all the
rest and recreation possible.
Mr.. Taft is due in Columbus August
20 and will go there from Beverly
Columbus is celebrating the centen
NAL of her establishment as the capital
Of Ohio and the occasion Will draw
many thousands of Buckeye citizens
The President is expected to go right
back to Beverly from Columbus. al
though his tentative plans some
months ago included remaining in
Cincinnati for a few days to attend
the German day celebration there and
to vote in the election to be held at
which forty important amendments to
the constitution will be voted upon.
Comes Here In September.
September 4 the President is to be in
Washington to entertain the worlds
greatest chemists and preside at the con-
vention Of this International gathering.
With engagements at Columbus and
Washington filled the President hopes to
have an undisturbed rest at Beverly and
does not look forward to any political
activity of consequence until toward the
end of September.
The President is pretty well tired out.
The long session Of Congress, following
the most active political year of his life,
with an immense amount Of public bust
ness, has drawn on the wonderful
physical resources OF the chief execu-
tive and he will enjoy. 1t is stated. the
The legislative bill. which the Presi-
dent has twice vetoed. has not reached
the White House, but will be promptly
signed and there were no evidences to-
day Of further vetoes. The President has
decided to sign the fur seal bill. about
which there has been some doubt. The
President will go to the Capitol tomor-
row afternoon an hour before adjourn
ment to sign the last rush Of bills.
Important Commission to Be Named.
The President has an important work
ahead Of him in naming the nine members
OF the Industrial commission authorized
by Congress. Three of the members are
to come from labor circles. three from
among employers and the other three to
be unconnected with either.

taken much intere / in the legislation for
tn, commission, saw the President today
to urge the appointment, as representing
labor, OF Arthur h. Holder, head of the
legislative board Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. Senator Sutherland said
that Mr.. Holder would make an ideal
member Of the board. The President to-
day signed the bill creating the commits
sion.
