Lloyd Hughes, Bisbee Boy, Is
Making Good In Movie World;
Now Holding Down Big Leads

Lloyd Hughes, who was born in Bis
bee and spent his early childhood
here, is making a big stride in the
movie world in Los Angeles. He is
the grandson of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Hughes, who are now living here.
. Young Hughes left Bisbee when he
was about 10 years old and went to
Los Angeles with his parents where
he has since resided. The Los An
geles Times of last Sunday has the
following to say about him, written
by Edwin Schallert:
There's never any telling about Ges-
tiny and a career in the films An
actress may start out as coincidence
and end up as a tragedienne. and a
perfectly good leading man may be-
gin as character actor Witness
the changes within your own recollec-
ton, for instance, Gloria Swanson as
a comedy beauty and now the most
serious of dramatic actresses; James
Kirkwood burying his talent as an nc
tor beneath a bushel of a director
ship. They're both happy now in the
joy of doing what they like, and
whether it was evolution of just hap
penstance, the result has been salts
flying to everybody.
On the same principle, it may be
reckoned a very good thing that a
certain prepossessing young man
named Lloyd Hughes. one day decid

slow and see our town; go fast and
see our jail"
This combined invitation and ad-
monition posted conspicuously along
the state highway has proved an eff
fective means of stopping automobile
speeding.
Tourists from Boston to resorts in
New Hampshire and Maine pass
through Amesbury in large numbers
and the good roads have tempted fast
travelling. AS the levy of small fines
had no material effect on the number
of speedsters. Chief of Police Rogers
decided to post the signs.
Their effectiveness was shown by
the fact that on the first Sunday the
signs appeared there were no over
night guests at the police station.

Taft, Mounting Supreme Court
Bench, Attains Life Ambition

, politics it appears that he was devoid
of political judgment.
Tafts weakness as president, MS
close friends will tell you. however,
was not that he couldn't use the po-
litical moves that would keep him out
of trouble. but that he wouldn't stoop
TO make them.
They cite the case of the treaty of
reciprocity with Canada, which he
sponsored vigorously against the adj
vice of many party leaders. On the
day he signed the bill ne greeted a
caller with the announcement:
We'll, we've now got treaty of
reciprocity with Canada"
THAT so; what do you think of it?''
the caller inquired.
Il think I've signed my political
death warrant" Taft replied, but
it's worth it."
Again. in 1912. when the fight was
hottest for delegates TO the Chicago
convention, a senator, through an in
termediary, approached Taft on the
subject of pardon for man convict
ed of murder. with the intimation
that a pardon might mean the switch
ing of a block of delegates.
Tell him." Taft sent back word
that I'm not trading murderers for
delegates"
Poor politics? Certainly, but typi-
iical of the man who now ascends the
supreme bench.
Men who have been closest to Taft
in a personal way swear by him as
the cleanest-minded, most mentally
wholesome individual they ever knew
in public life.
His break with Roosevelt came
most nearly developing the acid trace
in his character, but that was not so
much because of it's effect on him per-
sonally as because he saw in Roose-
velt's campaign of 1912 and attempt
to wreck the Republican party.
On the eve of election day, 1912,
when word was carried to him that
he had been defeated, he laughed.
Well" he said. II had my triumph
at Chicago; because at Chicago we
preserved the Republican party"

science regardless of political effect,

WASHINGTON, July 20. - When

ident Mckinley, following the report
OF the Schurman commission on the
White House.
That visit was to change Taft's en-
tire career; to lift him from the judi
cial pursuits he loved; throw him into
the arena of national politics: make
and unmake him as president. and
finally return him. under another
Ohio president, to the career from
which he had been drafted.
Mckinley told Taft that he wanted
him to go to the Philippines as gov
ernor general and set up a civil gov
eminent there. Root joined the pres
ident in his plea, and, although loath
to abandon his work on the bench,
Taft consented.
AS he told a friend in later years,
he "chose the road to Damascus" ano

him finally at the goal for which he

results attained that the city, will.

II Is safe TO say that a thousand

with municipal, operation of the

instead of swelling the taxes. The
New York transportation system of
the future will unquestionably be
comprised of tho present admirable
system of subways working in con-
junction with city-owned busses.
"The flexibility and economy of the
motor truck busses have proven them
far superior to the old-fashioned
street car, and plans by the board of

fact that since the war the Japanese
spinners have been buying cotton almost
entirely in the spot market rather than
through future contracts.
A representative OF the Southern Prod
ucts Company said yesterday to THE

purchases have been OF unusual magni-

that slump in Japanese taJongs would

The indications are that Japan from
this time forward will become more
