PRESIDENT STARTS ON LONG TRIP Left Boston on Journey Across tie Continent and Back Again IN SPLENDID SPIRIT President's Train Pulls Out of the Boston Station at 10 O'clock on Its 13,000 Mile Journey Crowds Cheer Him and Give Him Hearty 8nd-off Miss . Torrey, His Aged Aunt, His Quest This Morning Visit Given Him Much Pleasure President Pleased With Reception Last -Night) and in An Unusually Genial Mood Pleased Willi Bos. ton Cooking. i (By William Hosier, staff correspond ent of the American -News Service on the President's train.) Boston, Sept. 15 President Taft is off on his 13,000-mile tour of the country. His train pulled out at 10 o'clock this morning, cheered by thousands of enthusiastic Bostonians. The president was up early and left the Toraine shortly before 10 o'clock. As his automobile nosed its way through the street to the South sta tion he was greeted with salvos of good-wish cheers by thousands who crowded the sidewalks. It was an enthusiastic send-off and the big, good-natured head of the nation man ifested his appreciation by dispensing broad. smiles in every direction. Before leaving the hotel the presi dent had at breakfast as his guest of honor his aged aunt, Miss Delia C. Tofrye, of Millbury, Mass. She was the only woman at the table. The othef guests were SenatJbr Crane, George B. Cor.telyou,' former secre tary of the treasury; William Nelson Cromwell, the New York lawyer; Wi)llani Wood,' a personal friend of . the president from San Francisco; Secretary Carpenter, and Captain Butt. While the breakfast was semi-official in character the presence of Miss Torrey made it less formal. The president was in an unusually genial mood, having been well pleased with his reception at ,last night's chamber of commerce dinner. Miss Torrey reached Boston last night and waa greeted by the presi dent when he returned to the Tour aine from the dinner. It was plain that the visit of his aunt gave the president fully as much pleasure as it did Miss Torrey, and she was pre vailed upon to accompany him on his private car on the first lap of the big trip that is as far as Worcester, Which is near Miss Torrey's home. Just to show how he likes Boston cooking this statement was given out at the Touraine for the president: "The president has never enjoyed any banquet more than the one last night. - The arrangement of the hall was beautiful and tlie banquet was simple, and wholesome. If all menus were prepared in . as simple a man- ,ner, banquets would have no terrors for him." . Long before the-time for the pres ident to leave the hotel for Ills train, the streets were jammed about the Touraine and filled along his route to the South station. ' A squad of S3 policemen was stretched about the hotel to take care of the car.- Jt was 9:35 when the president ap peared in the corridor of the tou raine accompanied by Miss Torrey. Guests of the hotel made a lane through which he passed. They ap plauded him vigorously. His face beamed. Outside the hotel a crowd that reached back to the Common, numbering many thousands, broke into a roar as the president reached the street. ' With tender solicitude the presi dent assisted his aunt into the front seat of the machine. Then he took a Hat beside her. In the back seat of the car rode William Wood and Cap- ; tain Butt. Another car contained ' members of the party, including the newspaper men. From the hotel to the South station there was an un broken, hjiwah of enthusiasm. The trip took about six minutes, the big force of. police assigned to the job keeping the people from interfering with the progress of the automobiles. i ".The machines ran into the South station, at the main entrance and up to the gate of track No. 1, upon which the apecial train stood, ready for the start. In ' Dewey Square fully 10.000 people had gathered and their about echoed -through the big . (Continued on Pae Sight.) , Judge Lovett, Harrimnn' s Successor Jude H. S.

IS Every tii;ht lover in New York is trying to dope out that Ktingford-Ketehel muss Fri day night. There are any number of wild-eyed Keteliel adherents, and just as many who are for the lar baby from Boston. " Each has his particular line of talk. Kath. is certain and each will bet. 1 ne ttling Is sure., and that is this: We haven't had two such jjunishers in the ring here in years. Both are vm ig. strong, terrific hitters anil right in iheir prime. There is no old man in this no fellow who lias been out of the rinr four years or more: no cripple.'

Today he is a. title holder in the middleweight division and is matched to flight Jack Johnson for the heavyweight title. He is the most dangerous puncher that has ever held the middleweight crown for years, and one of the two champions' who was ever knocked out and then came back and won his honors again. As a boxer we will have to throw Ketehel overboard. Of course, he has a style, but it is an awkward kind. THE TAFT PAIJTV. Will he Carried Down the Mississippi j by Utilitliou.se Tenders.

' At first it was proposed that the tender Lily should take the president aboard at St. Louis and plans were made at the department of commerce and labor to this end. The Oleander, a speedier vessel, has been substituted for the president's use.

I By Loused Wire to The Times) V.t::!iitl;.toli, Sepl. la II was said al the tie., sure depart nn-iii that the board of tariff experts, just appointed by i.he president, will meet here shortly and organise. While Presi dent Taft. has not, so far as known, issued any instructions to the board, it. is understood he will require t hem fro go to the very bottom of the ques- t'oUjtfind present to him such data as if? make Sear to congress the ox act differenco in the cost of labor on manufactured articles in Kurope ami ill the L'n it "U Slates. Where this dif ference :s pronounced in favor of the American manufacturer, showing an extorsive profit by reason of the high tariff, the president, it is believed, will recommend to congress that such schedules in the tariff law be modi fied to meet these conditions, in the interest of the American consumer: , The men selected by the president to aid him iii v.he matter of gathering important tariff statistics, it seems, wore chosen bv him without consul tation with the "stand-patters" in the house or senate. Up to this time no prominent stand-patter has come io the front to endorse Prof. Henry C. Winery, of Yale, who, it is believed, will be chairman of the board. Pro fetsor Emery, it is said, is inclined toward free trade, and, naturally, his appointment does not create enthus iasm iu the ranks of the protection ists. Alvin H. Anders, editor ' of the Breeders Gazette, of Chicago, has for a long time been prominent in the movement of the manufacturers and farmers of the middle west to secure tariff revision. Hence, his appoint ment adds to the belief lliluthe pres ident is honestly in favor of down ward revision." The other member of the board. James B. Reynolds, assistant secre tary of the treasury, while not na tionally known as a tariff 'expert, in the. sense of having written papers on this rather abstruse question, lias had valuable experience in dealing with the customs laws, and therefore is well qualified for this new position. He conies from Massachusetts, a state which may be said to be the hot-bed of both protection and free trade. Those close to Mr. Reynolds say he will follow a middle course. The advocates of a tariff commis sion such as proposed by the Bever idge bill, express the opinion that the tariff board, just appointed may ful lill ail the requirements of the tariff commission, in which event there will he no occasion to renew the agita tion when congress meets .next De cember. It will probably be known by that time, they say, whether or Hot this new tariff board will be ajile to take this question out of politics. Should it appear to the contrury, then the fight for legislation creating a commission with full powers will be renewed. Friends of the president who have discussed this subject with liini say he understands fully that the provision in the tariff bill authoriz ing the appointment of this board gives him every authority to require of the board everything that could be accomplished by a commission, and therefore, there will be no occasion nor justification for Senators Bever idge or LaFollette to press for legis lation authorizing any other com mission. Part of the data which the board will obtain for President Taft's In formation "will relate to the maximum rate of the new tariff. It is admit ted that the maximum and minimum rate of , the tariff law isy really its most important feature, and its en forcement cannot but have a serious effect on our relations with the coun tries against which ft shall be im posed. The new tariff board may NE IlIlESl epitM SHERLOCK CREATES EXGITE- MENT ALL OVER AND ELUDES HIS obtain data to convince the president that many of the schedules in the Payne act are unfair and unjust, anil that it would work a hardship on t lie American consumer to enforce the maximum rate on some countries that are large buyers of our products. It is hoped by the tariff revision ists that, sufficient material will be ready for President Taft soon after the reassembling of congress, so thai. many of the present incongruities in the tar ff act can be remedied by amendment and without re-opening tJie entire tariff question. BAHACA CONVENTION MEETS At JAMESTOWN Mr. .1. I). Berry, editor of The "Ha racea Herald.'' is ill receipl of I lie loi louing letter from Mr. Marshall A. Hudson, president of Hie Wftrld - Witt, tlaraca l'n ion: "This decision lias been reported unanimously by the special commit tee appointed at Ashovillo, X. (.'., on next place of meciing. In order to give each competing city every oppor tunity to present its claim, the decis ion was delayed a month later than usual. There has never been more spirited competition on the part of Ihe inviting cities. A Hood of letters has poured in upon each member of the committee. While in the nature of the case any decision must disap point many, the committee feels that the demands of or.'-h section have been thoroughly canvassed. After several informal votes, taken during Ihe summer, the committee came at length unanimously to the decision that- in their judgment the .genet ai good of the Baraca-Philiithea cause would be best served by holding the 11110 World-Wide Barara-Philathea Convention at Jamestown. X. Y." The following were members of this committee: A. S. Hampton, W. U. .Monk, Rev. Chas. McKenzie, -Marshall A. Hudson, and Rev. Frank An derson. This will be of Interesl to the hun dreds of Baraca and I'hilalhea.s in Kaleigh and the thousands in North Carolina. The convention of 1 509 was held in Asheville. N. ('.. and was the largest in the history of this great movement, there being l,r00 dele gales and visitors in attendance. Plans are already on fool lo make the convention of 1 S I II even larger than the last. Baraca is not yet nineteen years old. the iirst class having been organized in Syracuse, X. Y., October Id, IS'IO by Mr. Hudson, who is now ihe president of the World-Wi.lo !'a raca I'liion. and yet it has been said of this movement that it is the great est among young people within a cen tury. North Carolina is second lo New York in point of membership, and number of classes. We have a State Baraca Association, with Rev. .1. Wal ler Long, of Concord, president, and Mr. J. H. Karly. of Winston-Salem, secretary. The liaraca Herald is the official organ. Firebugs Cause Roigiii of Terror. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Lexington, Ky.. Sept. 1 5 - Fire bugs have caused a reign of terror throughout the countryside here. In cendiarism has been epidemic for weeks past and the fanners have been heavy sufferers. Houses and out buildings have been fired with known motive and the belief Is becoming general that it is the work of one or more pyronianiacs. MOVIXM (iltAIN CROP. Rapidly Taking Vp the Surplus Curs.

T. llara han. president Or the Illinois Central Railroad Company, who returned to Chicago yesterday afternoon, follow ing the meeting of the board of di rectors, said that the grain move ment Is rapidly taking up the road's surplus equipment, and that in the last week there were 1,000 more cars In use than in the first week in June. The grain crops in his territory were most, satisfactory, he said, and with another week of propitious weather he believed a good corn crop was assured. The poor cotton crop which has been reported from Texas and other polntf , is not so bad In his road's territory1, President Harahan said, and in ' fact ' he found on his recent visit to the Mississippi and Ya ioo valleys that he staple promised a normal yield.
