MR. TAFT IS GIVEN
AN UNUSUAL OVATION
Theater Audience Rises and
Cheers His Request for
Old Irish Song.

A remarkable demonstration to Presi-
dent Taft at the Columbia Theater Mon
day night escaped notice, except by
those present and participating.
The President occupied a box and was
deeply interested in the portrayal of the
Irish play being presented by Chauncey
Olcott and his company. Asking for a
pencil the President wrote brief note
to Olcott asking that he sing one Of the
Presidents favorite old Irish songs,
Believe Me, If All Those Endearine
Young Charms Shortly afterward Oh
colt stated that he would sing the song
at the request Of the President.
Cheering Is Prolonged.
The audience, composed of many Irish
Americans, rose to its feet en- masse and
gave the President one Of the greatest
receptions he ever had in this city. When
the President attempted to check the
cheering and waving of handkerchief
by bowling his Acknowledgements the au-
dience renewed it's compliments to the
chief executive and continued the dem
onstration for several minutes. The
President was SO pleased with the rendi-
ton Of the song that he joined the au-
The testimonial to the Presidents pop
ularity in Washington was considered
especially significant in view of the fact
that Washington people never annoy a
President with demonstrations when he
appears in public. They treat him as a
neighbor and friend and when they meet
him on the street and recognize him they
merely raise their hats or pass on.
Goes About Freely.
Nobody stops him to importune him for
this or that thing and crowds do not Sur
round him when they find him in stores
or elsewhere. Mckinley, Roosevelt, Taft
and all the others before them have
walked or ridden everywhere through
out the city without interference or in
terruption. That sort of treatment re-
suits in President Taft often appearing
on the streets in his walks.
Coming as it did, and from people who
are little influenced by enthusiasm on
coming in contact with President, Mr..
Taft deeply appreciated the kindly senti-
ment SO cordially voiced at the theater
