ACCOMPANIED BY HIS FAMILY
Booming of 6attleship's Guns An. nounce SaIina-May Order Civil Government for the Residents
 of the Canal Zone.

Key West, Fla, Dec. 21.--With tho guns of the United States battleships Delaware and Arkansas roaring well come, President Taft and his party late tnis afternoon boarded the latter vessel and set out for the Panama canal zone
 It was shortly after four o'clock when the president, after making a short speech here. boarded one of the launches of the Arkansas, together with Mrs Taft and the remainder of the presidential party, and was taken to the naval fighter. A few minutes later both the Arkansas, with the presidential flag flying from a fight ing top, and the Deleware. which will act as convoy, had weighed anchor and were steaming slowly out of the harbor to the waters of the Atlantic. The presidential party will spend three days in the canal region, includ- ing Christmas. President Taft plans to get back to Key West on Dec. 29 land two days later to be in Washing ton.
 Investigations of conditions in the canal zone in order to determine whether tae time is now opDortgne for the establishment of civil gov ernment there Is the announced pur- pose of the presidents visit.
 Mir. Taft has announced that he ex- poets to issue the order establishing civil government immediately If he finds conditions favorable.
 Col. Geo. w Goethals, builder of tie canal, is considered to be the likely ap- 2ointee as governor of the canal re- zion if he will accept the place. Presi- dent Taft it is expected, will consult with him on the present trip regarding the naming of subordinate officers.
 The president travelled for six hours through the fruit bearing coun- try of Florida and part of the ever- glades. His train then passed out over the open sea on the over-sea ex- tension of the Florida East Coast rail. way
 A short talk was made by President Taft at Miami today in addition to the one here. In both addresses he asserted that he thought it incumbent upon him to establish civil govern ment in the Panama canal region and not to leave the task to President elect Wilson when the latter assumes office.
 President Taft's cold, w5ich troubled him when he left Washington, has at most entirely disappeared and the Taft smile was much in evidence.
