He began the Sabbath of his vacation by going to. the Unitarian church. The services began at 10.30 in early rising New Eng- land and the president was a little late in reporting to the pew assigned to him. Miss Helen Taft and Capt. Archibald Butt were the only other members of his party. Through the early hours of the long hot afternoon the ‘president sat on the broad veranda of -his cottage overlooking the sail- dotted ocean and read “The Greatness and Decline of Rome,” by the historian Ferrero, who spent a week at the ‘White House with Mr. Roosevelt. Near sunset the - president tool long motor ride with Mrs. Taft. T dinner-he again sought. the cool of the verandas. Policy of Appointments of Census Su- pervisors. Mr. Taft has several matters of of- ficial business before him during the coming week. He Is going to take up and dispose of the matter of census pervisors throughout the entire United States, The president has fixed finally upon the pollcy he will-pursue with refer- ence to_census appointments in the south. In the states which are solidly democratic the president will divide the appointments equally among the democrats and republicans. He will in- sist that the appointees shall not be Bctive partisans, however, but capable - men. President Taft is giving serious con- sideration to the strained situation be- tween: Japan and,China over the Mui den-Antung railroad. The matter was t to the president’s attention by of State Knox before he left gton. 6 matter has not reached a crisis. In the event of & violation being lodged st either party to'the treaty it is belfbved the matter will become a qus for censideration by all the The United States will have a hand in whatever is done.

If the president should appoint judges -under present condi- tions he would have to fix their salary. This he does not wish to do. In fact, Be has no desire to antagonize congress in the matter in any way and belleves that in both the senate and the house the members should have the right to express by a vote their preferences in the matter of salaries. As to the ob- jection that a $10,000 salary would giva the customs judges a greater compen~ sation than that enjoyed by the United States circuit court judges, the presi- dent is said to feel that the higher figures should prevail in both cases He believes the better way to. bring this about would be to give the cus toms judges $10,000 and raise the cir- cuit judges accordingly, rather than to start the customs judges at the lower figure and then have to raise everybody. - Triasurer MacVeagh to Select Tariff Commi . Mr. Taft has turned the task of se- lecting five experts to form a tarift commission under the new law bodily over to Secretary of the Treasury Mac- Vaagh. President Taft told some of his call- ers today that he did not expect to do any active-work on- his message to congress until after he rTeturns to Washington in November. Outlining His, Message.

Having tried the far-famed Myopia links, the president tomorrow morning will play eighteen holes over the course at the Bssex Country club.| Mr. Taft is looking forward to a pe- riod of great prosperity in the Philip- pine Islands as a result of the enact- ment of the Philippine tariff law. He believes that many small industries will be built up in the island under the market afforded te, Filipino pred ucts in this country. Rev. Augustus M.

New V' k, Aug. 8.—The heat and the high humidity today moved two cit! zens of Staten Island to exhibitions of eccentricity that called out the police and the fire department.

Threats to shoot from the police and to cvhop down the tree falling, and & thorough drenching from a fire hose being apparently regarded by the tree dweiler as part of the entertainment, the firemen were finally compelled to run up a sixty foot extension ladder and snare their man from his perch with a lassoo. He fought actively. A little later, Ole Anderson, 37 years old, becoming unaccountably possessed of the idea that he was a mid-summer. Santa Clans, pee'ed off all his clothes and climbing to the ridge pale of his three story h)use, tried to jam himself down the chimney.

This has been true throughout the central and northern sections of the state for two weeks and the farmers are unable to stem the tide or minimize the destructive- ness of the pests. Occasionally an irate farmer wades into an army of grass- hoppers: with chance spade or other farming implement, and, swinging riglit anid 16ft, takes a small measure of satisfaction for his loss in a minia- ture slaughter of -the insects.

DEARTH OF MACKEREL IN MAINE Driven Away by Chemicals in Refuse from the Pulp Mils. Portland, Me., Aug. 8.—Of the many and widely divergent reasons for the almost complete disappearance of the mackerel from these waters, advanced by wisé old “salts” and’ others engag- ed in the industry or interestcd in the question from a scinetific point of view the latest theory to be offered is that one which lays the blame on the pulp mills which have sprung up in many parts of Maine during the' past few years, Those who advocate this the- ory state that the chemicals in the refuse from the mills have driven the mackerel, once. so plentiful in Maine waters, fo southern and ‘other waters, where théy do~not come in contact with the chemicals used in the man- ufacture of paper. Before the pulp mills were built, mackerel fishing was an_extensive in- dustry in Maine, but of late years the fishermen who pursued the elusive fish in_Maine waters have not been able to make the business a profitable one, and now #he catches brought in from local grounds are few and far be- tween. For years the most popular reason assigned for the disappearance of the mackerel has been the activity of the dogfish, but as the latter species is not so plentiful now, the theory seem: to be losing strength, and many fish- | erme nare inclined to put much faith in the new reason advanced. The fish- ermen say that the mackerel schools always swim near the surface, and in this way come in contact with the chemicals. ¥ BURGLAR'S BODY IN AIRSHAFT.
