(By Leased Wire to ThesTJmes)
Beverly, Mass., August 7r-VilHam
Howard Taft 1b enjoying his first day
of vacation since he became president
of the United States on March 4.
The .nation's chief executive ar
rived in Boston from Washington at
7 o'clock this morning, asleep in his
private car, Olympiad which was at
tached to the rsar-end of the speeedy
federal express, At J: 25 the Olym
pia, containing the president, secret
service men, and a dozen clerks, was
whisked away over the Boston and
Albany tracks to East Somervllle,
where a Boston and Maine engine
took it in tow and landed the presi
dent at Montserrat shortly before 9
o'clock, la time to take breakfast
with his family.
President Taft showed, his face
just once In Boston, when he stuck
his head out the rear door of the
Olymjila and sought to learn why he
had been so unceremoniously awak
ened by the banging of hammers on
the wheels and couplings of his car.
Secret service maa, James Sloan, was
on the platform watching operations,
and the president addressed him:
"What's the matter?" he asked.
"Guess they can't pull you," was
the remark of Mr. Sloan.
The president laughed and dlsap-
neared within the car. thoroughly
ifwako. Meantime a dozen or more
train-hands and a few Inspectors and
yardmasters were hurrying about the
car to see what was the matter. En
gine 1184, a big Mogul of the Boston
and Albany, with Engineer George
Wheeler in charge, was vainly trying
to got a coupling with the Olympia
Each time she backed dow:i on the
car there was a crash and a rattle of
iron and groaning of brakes. Once
it was thought the connection had
been made.
"Let 'er go," shouted the yardmas
ter. Engineer Wheeler released his
brakes with a shriek and the Mogul
started. The Olympia stood still.
By that time the president became
curious and looked out to see what
was going oa. He was greeted by a
score of tra:nment, a dozen police
men, and as many detectives of the
local force, and a few hundred curi
ous people who had congregated at
the end of the train shed. At this
point the yardmaster made tha dis
covery that because of the sharp
curve where the Olympia was stand'
ing It was impossible to bring the
engine to the car at a proper angle
to connect the couplings.
"Run down on the way," was the
order to Enginoer Wheeler.
"Get a switcher up here In
hurry,' was the next order to an in
spector. Engineer Wheeler and his
Mogul glided away and a switcher
appeared,
"Yank the car to track 13,' was
the next order. Down the yard and
over switches and back onto track 13
went the president and his car. Then
Engineer Wheeler came down the
line and hooked on with little diffi
culty on the straight rail.
"How does the president like be
ing doubled from track 26 to track
13?" asked an American News Serv
ice reporter, of Detective Sloan.
' "That's a Joke, at that," replied
Sloan. "I'll see," into the Olympia
went Mr. Sloan and in a minute he
came out.
"The president sees the joke and
he's laughing now," replied Sloan.
Then Conductor Thomas J. Sulli
van,, to whom fell the honor of get
ting the car through to East Somer
vllle, waved his hand to Engineer
Wheeler and minus the customary
"Board", the president was away.
As the car clattered along over the
switch hundreds waved their hats
and cheered, but the president was
evidently busy getting out of his pa
Jamas and Into his morning attira.

(By Leased Wire to The Times)
White Plains N, Y., Aug. 7 Har
ry K. Thaw and his relatives came
into Justice Mill's court today more
confident if anything than they 'iad
been since the Insanity proceedings
opened.
Referring to a mass of exhibits and
quoting the commitment, of Justice
Dowling by which Thaw on Febru
ary 1, 19(KS, was sent to Matteawan,
District Attorney Jerome addressed
the court in convincing style. His
speech was bereft of any attempt at
oratory and for that reason was tha
more forcible.
Justice Mills asked for Thaw's er
ratic will and codicil and the strange
letters he wrote to Henry W. Long
fellow, telling jfcyelyn's story of how
White wronged her and the mass of
Incoherent noteij Thaw prepared for
Delmas' summing upJ
"With the exception of Mrs. Hai ry
Thaw, none of the many witnesses
who testified at the two trials for
murder, deliberately or intentionally
falsified," Mr. Jerome said, explain
ing to the court that the evidence of
the various trials could be depended
upon as facts.
"I don't mean that she didn't tell
her husband the story she swore to,
but I do Insist that cross-examination
showed she had done White a
wrong. The fact that this, and the
story told to the Miltonic angel
O'Mara by the experienced chorus
girl had an effect on Thaw la the best
evidence of his feeble mind."
Mrs. Thaw smiled at Jerome's ref
erence to O Mara, brought on by her
comparison of him to one of Milton's
angels.
While Jerome was talking, Mrs. Thaw
Issued a statement attacking the state's
alienists.
THe prosecutor went on to say that
Thaw was born with a weak niiv.d and
that the incredible stories so preyed
upon him that it caused the final break
down in the shooting of White. He ar
gued that paranoia was established,
and that while Thaw might continue
passive for a long time, he would soon
er or later repeat his rash act if allow
ed at large. "It would not be sale to
turn this man loose," Jerome said in
conclusion. "At least not until (an ef
fort is made to examine him. While I
feel your derision will be a just one, 1
hope you will not liberate him."
Jerome had talked for an hour and
a half and had confined his remark.
solely to the evidence of insanity shown
in Thaw's ease.
Attorney Morschauser then summed
up for Thaw.
He pointed out that there was no
legal proof of Thaw's mental condition
except at the time of the shooting three
years ago and laid stress on the fact
that the majority of insanity experts
declared his malady could not be clas
sified. Morschauser recommended that Drs.
Gregory. Hammond and Pilgrim were
positive in their belief that Thaw was
of sound mind, Jerome left before
Thaw's lawyer was well under way,
and most of the spectators wandered
away as the attorney tried to patch his
client's notes Into a coherent Speech.
