night contained $3.50.
On the two previous occasions,

DOCTORS

The twenty-first anniversary Of
his elevation to the Presidency,
on a blizardy fourth Of March
in 1909, found William Howard
Taft grimly withstanding today
the approach of death, which his
physicians say is only a matter
of days.
The physicians bulletin at noon
stated:
The condition of the former
Chief Justice is unaltered since
yesterday. He continues to take
a moderate amount of nourish-
ment."
The fight which the weakened
ex-President is making for life is
a source of constant surprise to
his doctors. He drifts in. and out
Of a comalike sleep, apparently
only partly conscious or aware
OF what goes on about him In the
Sickroom. ..~a ze.
Occasionally he rouses suf-
ficiently to recognize the doctors
or members Of the family. One
such occasion was this morning
when. after Dr.. Francis r. Hag-
ners finished the usual examine
tion, the. former Chief Justice
mumbled "good-by" to him.
Last week the physicians
thought death was a matter of
hours. Today they said days, al
though the nature Of the case is
such that the patient might have
a sinking spell and expire at any
time.
Though Mr.. Taft remained in
a helpless condition today, mem
