Dishes a number. An Interested observer who
rimY" the Presidential candidate on -what is
taown a? "the crater" hole, where par golf is
two strokes ■ mashle shot and a put. found that
from 'the time Mr. Taft drove off the tee until he
stood ready to tee. his ball for the next drive the
Interval never varied by more than thirty sec
ondfc Neither does he ever loaf on the course.
Xt a certain tee he usually stops to get a drink,
tut he never sits down to rest at any point on
the course nor does he voluntarily discuss any
subject but the game as he makes the round.
Those who have seen him handle great ac
cumulations of mail and state papers at the War
Department quickly recognize that the char
acteristics which enabled the Presidential candi
date to handle a larger amount of -work In a
given time with greater thoroughness and
with less appearance of labor or worry than
other men in the administration are the same
characteristics which have enabled him to make
a success on the links. They are part of the
ran. an in grained steadiness, thoroughness and
poise, accompanied by a celerity of decision and
action ■b easy that The effort is almost imper
ceptible.
Tennis has beer; a favorite exercise of the
preset Executive and his advisers. One is led
to wonder if golf will not be the successor of
tennis in the next.
"Golf." said Mr. Taft to-day as he followed
his ball from the tee. "enables one to enjoy the
beauties of nature, furnishes ample interest to
rob a regular and healthful exercise of that
Mhnn of exercise taken only because it is such,
and precludes, for the time being, all thought of
business cares and worries — least a good
game does."
Repre*er. native Hepburn. Congressman from
the Bth lowa District. arrH*ed at Hot Springs to
day, bat s-Eid he had cot come especially to see
Mr. Taft, and that there was no political sig
niflcar.r-e Ib his visit. He explained that his
dctlee in connection with the House Office Build
ing OBBMiilUae necessitated his remaining in the.
vidEity of Washington during the heated term.
and he ma visiting various places In the neigh
borhood wherever he could E©are the time.
BEYA-VP STRENGTH "MOONSHINE. -
Ppeak:T of the political situation In lowa,
GoioneJ Hepburn declared that Taft would carry
the state by SO.OOO majority, and that, in fact.
ralk of Bryan's increased strength in the
Middle West was "moonshine." He said he had
yet to Srd a single Democrat who purposed to
vaaa for Bryan this year who had not voted for
him before.
"When asked about the Senatorship Colonel
Hepburn Eald that undoubtedly Governor Cum
mins and Major Lacey would be the rival can
didates for Senator Allison's seat. He admitted
that if an attempt were made to pledge the can
didates for The Legislature to one or the other
of (fee SenatorEhip candidates before the elec
tion It might jeopardize the Republicans of the
lowa House, but declared his conviction that
Governor Cummins was far too wise a politician
and too rood a Republican to precipitate such a
fcht, which must inevitably menace the ful
filment of his own long cherished ambition to
rit in the upper house of Congress. Colonel
Hepburn expects to remain at Hot Springs for
& week.
Another arrival was Represenative Richard
Banholdt, .-' Missouri, who came to consult Mr.
Baft before Failing for Europe in connection
with the International Peace Union. Mr. Bar
tfcoldt - -■■■a that his mission was -political,
and only in the interest of peace, Still another
arrival was Frank H. Plan, who paid his re
■jacte to Mr. Taft. but declared that his busi-
BBM did not concern politics, and he came here
merely to consult Mr. Taft in the interests of a
client.
Mr. Taft experienced what might have been a
serinus accident Tuesday evening. He started to
ride to the top of Flag Mountain to witness the
•unset and th* moonrise. The distance is about
seven miles from the Homestead at Hot Springs.
■W*h!i*» on the way Mr. Taft's horse stumbled
and fell, throwing him off. He was not hurt,
however, and rode the horse bark to the hoteL
Thf fact is that Mr. Taft's horse is not up to
fcls weight toot the Presidential candidate is in
Bead of a new one. The report from Lexington,
KY-, that a blue ribbon had been purchased
there for Mr Taft If denied, and It is added that
Brigadier General Clarence R. Edwards, chief
of the bureau of insular affairs of the "War De-
PBftment, has tx^en commissioned to purchase
a n*w mount for hie former chief. Mr. Taft
r*oui!^s a horse weighing 1,200 pounds, with
*asy gait, capable of negotiating mountain
reads, a bay preferred. General Edwardw is
or.fidfcct he can find Just the animal which Mr.
Taft wants.
PLEASED BY HITCHCOCK'S WORK.
Extreme gratification over the showing tow
2^3 perfected organization made yesterday by
■*«ak H. Hitchcock. Republican national chair
man, was expressed by Mr. Taft to-day.
"Yesterday's conference was really the first
business meeting I have had with the national

pairr began." said Mr. Taft at breakfast, "The
amount of work that has been done is eurprls

thing tfter another at one Bitting of more than
three hours. Throughout there was nothing
but the most harmonious and unanimous conclu

No comment for publication In the newspapers
on the acceptance speech of "W. J. Bryan is to

nounced by the Republican candidate to-day
even before he had opportunity to read the
Bryan speech. This reading, he said, he wished
to do with great deliberation, and should its
perusal make a reply necessary or advisable it
■will be made the subject of a speech or in
cluded in a speech Mr. Taft may make at some
future time. His next speech will be delivered
here a week from next Friday to a gathering
of Virginia Republicans, who are coming to
the mountain!! for a general rally.
The West Virginia politicians who still remain
have telegraphed for A. C. Scherr. the Inde
pendent Republican candidate, upon whose ar
rival to-morrow, it is understood, an understand
ing will be reached as to what manner of ques
tions will be placed before the Republican Na
tional Committee for solution in the desire to
eliminate one of the two state tickets or ascer
tain which of the two shall be recognized by
the national committee.
Secretary "Wright will spend Saturday and
Sunday as the guest of Mr. Taft. a conference
being necessary for the proper disposal of nu
merous "War Department matters.
Mr. Taft has recently received a number of
letters protesting against his playing golf, on the
ground that it is "a rich man's game," a "waste
of time," etc. After asserting that he played
golf because it afforded him a great amount of
healthful exercise. Mr. Taft said that being a
Presidential candidate reminded him of the aid
fable of jEsop.
"You remember." said Mr Taft. "the fable of
the old man. the boy and the ass. The old man
rode the ass and the boy walked behind, but
people said. 'See that cruel old man making
that little boy walk:'
"Then the old man got off and put the boy
on the ass. And the- people said. 'See that
heartless boy making that poor old man walk!'
"So then they both got on the ass. and even'
one said, 'Be* thos« cruel people overloading
that poor ass I' and finally both got off and car
ried the aes. and then the populace exclaimed.
'See those foole earning their ass instead of
riding him!' #
"It's not easy to boa Presidential candidate —
not much easier than it Is to keep down one's
flesh," mournfully reflected the candidate.
This evening Burr Mclntoeh delivered his
stereopticon lecture on "Secretary Taft in the
Orient." in the ballroom of the Homestead. Mr.
Taft was present and laughed heartily at the
lecturer's Jokes at his expense.
The lecture, which Included some two hundred
and fifty views, many of them showing Secre
tary Taft and his party, was cordially received,
and the heartiest applause was accorded to a
portrait of Miss Alice Roosevelt, as she was
then, and to the large portrait of the candidate,
with the presentation of which the lecture was
closed.

Transfer Conference To Be Held
Within Time Limit.
The receivers of the Metropolitan Street Rail
way Company and the officials of the Central
Park. North & East River Railroad Company did
not get together yesterday to make a joint fare, but
they will before August 24, the limit given them
by the Public Service Commission last Tuesday.
This was announced by Arthur H. Masten after a
conference with Douglas Robinson, one of. the re
ceiver?, yesterday morning.
The changed attitude of the receivers. It would
appear, is due to a more careful reading of the
order of the commission, from which they dis
covered that that body does not wish to force
wholesale transferring: upon the Metropolitan,
but wants to see transfers restored in 59th street.
po that persons living between 34th street and
116 th street won't have to pay 15 cents for a ride
much shorter than that had for only five cents
by a person boarding a Metropolitan car below
34th street or above 116 th street.
Mr Masten, who Is counsel for the receivers,
declared that they had no Intention of flouting
the commission's order by applying to Judge
Lnoombe for instruction? as to what course they
should pursue He said the receivers had oheyed
every order issued by the commission and would
do so j n this case It was their intention to do
what they could with the Central Park road's
officials in coming to ar> arrangement such as
outlined in the commission's order He thought,
however, th.nt r,n agreement could be arrived at
'f the officials of the Centra! Park. North & East
River Railroad Company should insist on getting
half of every fare collected from users of the
two systems The records of pass*"nge r s carried
showed, he paid, that out of twenty million pas
sengers transferring from one system to another,
the fare? of only seven million came from pas
sengers boarding the Central Park Company s
lines
.If the companies do not do so by August 24 the
'■■ommission will make its debut at ratemaking
between two distinct common carriers The rate
will depend on what the commission thinks the
companies can handle the traffic for with reason
able profit
In connection witn Judge Ijacombe's doubts as to
the constitutionality of the law giving the commis
sion this power. Secretary Travis H Whitney.
speaking for the commission, said yesterday: "The
power of the commission to fix such routes and
rates is not untried. This same power has b^pp
held by the Intt-rstite Commerce Commission for
two or three years now, and that commission has
already in dozens of cases required companies to
establish through routes and .loint rates, and- 1n
quite a number of o«ef; has reduced through rates
on the ground that they were not .lust and reason
able Had there b*en any doubt as to the con
stitutionality of such a grant of power to a com
mission. som» of these cases would have been
taken into the courts, but it Is significant that such
decisions by the Interstate Commerce Commission
have not been questioned
"The doctrine seems to be held, howevr. by
those high in authority In the control of the Metro
politan Street Railway that the provisions of the
statute, however clear the language may be. are
without meaning or effect until a court has inter
preted them. This Is somewhat of a new legal
doctrine."
MR. MELLEX'S OBJECT.
Interborough Officials Think He's
Trying to Frighten Them, 'Tis Said.
Though- it has long been a matter of common
knowledge that the New York. New Haven &
Hartford Railroad Company would be only too
willing to make some arrangement for bringing its
commuter traffic Into New York so that it might
establish a terminal of Its own and give up the
tenancy of the Grand Central Station, Skepticism
was expressed yesterday as to its real object in
offering to build a subway of its own from The.
Bronx to the Battery. Charles S. Mellen, president
of the road, intimated to Commissioner Eustis, of
the Public Service Commission, on Wednesday
that if it could not make an arrangement with the
Interborough or other rapid transit route In Man
hattan to handle the commuter traffic )t might
build a subway of its own. That assertion was the
first the Public Service Commission had heard offi
cially of the New Haven's willingness to build a
subway, if necessary- Unofficially, however, mem
bers of the commission had hoped that the railroad
would help solve the local traction problem If no
bidders appeared on routes for purely local traffic.
Several informal conferences of Interborough offi
cials, It Is understood, were held yesterday, at
which this question was put: "Is Mr. Mellen trying
to scare us or is he really in earnest, or does he
want to conciliate the Public Service Commission
for failure to fulfil th« terms of the franchise
and go ahead with the construction of the New
York & Port Chester Railroad?" Those to whom
the question was addressed wer* not, it ip said, in
entire agreement In their answers, but Mr. Mel
len's hint that the New Haven would build a sub
way was not taken too seriously.
It would cause no surprise, however, if the Pub
lic Service Commission should take Mr. Mellen at
his word and set its engineering: corps at work
en plans for a routs which would meet the require
ments of the New Haven and enable It to bring
its traffic right down to the Battery. Such a sub
way route would relieve, the congestion in the ex
isting subway and solve the problem of building
the Broadway-Lexington avenue line
No amendment to the Blsberg Jaw or other exist
ing legislation would be necessary to enable the
New Haven to build a subway. If that road was
sincere in its wish to do so. As it Is a trunk line,
the Public Service Commission could, with the con
pent of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment,
grant tho New Haven the necessary permission. In
the same way the Pennsylvania la now building a
tunnel under the North and East rivers end Man
hattan Island. Under the terms of section 83 of
the existing Rapid Transit act, the New Haven
could make formal application for a. route to carry
its passengers to and from it* terminal In this
city and so establish a through route over its lines.

\\FOR SALFBVJYOUR GROCER
SEWEK FOR KATONAH
WATERSHED INSPECTION.
Dr. Darlington Finds Conditions
Much Better than Last Year.
Katonah. near the Cross River dam of the Cro
ton water supply system, is planning to build a
sewer. Dr. Thomas Darlington, the Commissioner
of Health, made an inspection of the watershed
yesterday and when he reached the village H. R.
Barrett and E. P. Barrett showed him plans and
discussed the sewer scheme In all its health bear
ings.
Ever since the typhoid outbreak In the village
about eighteen months ago the leading men of
Katonah have been considering sewage methods.
An enactment by the Legislature at its last session
gave it the power to build a sewer system, and
the understanding in the village is that the city
wlll build a disposal plant. The city Is doing It
for Mount Kisco, and will do it for Katonah.
It was shown by the Barretts that there was
practically no place in the limits of the village
where a disposal plant could be built to take In
the sewage by gravity There was one section that
might be available, but it was too near the upper
reaches of the Musooot reservoir, and also too near
the dwellings. There would be objection from the
persons living near the level reaches, and Dr. Dar
lington was sure that the water supply would be
threatened with contamination.
To connect with the sewer in Mount Kisco would
be too expensive, and the next method, pumping
to higher ground, was the only feasible one Plans
embodying the latter scheme will be prepared If
the Department of Water Supply. Gas and Elec
tricity engineers approve. A conference with one
of the engineers will be held in a short time, and
a topographical survey of the village may be made.
It was said by the Barretts that it would be nec
essary to incorporate Katonah before the neces
sary funds for the sewer could be raised. The
village is now a part of Bedford. Steps to Incor
porate will be taken as soon as an agreement has
been made with the two city departments regard-
Ing the disposal plant.
A reporter for The Tribune learned from Dr. Dar
lington last evening that the conditions in the Cro
ton watershed were better by far than last year.
Kensico reservoir is clear and fresh, and only
about three feet below the spillway. The grass has
been cut about twelve feet from the water's edge
and six feet from the banks of the brook which is
the feeder. Discoloration from dead grass and pos
sible contamination are thus avoided.
An investigation by a Tribune reporter disclosed
the fact that Lake Wampus, one of the feeders,
was free from scum and was full. Muscoot was
also full, and so was Byram. At each the grass
cutting precaution had been taken. The Cross
River reservoir was within a few inches of being
full, and conditions there were good.
The big Croton alone showed the effects of a
drouth and much use of water. It was about eight
feet below the spillway, and the shores were bare
far up among the reaches of the reservoir. There
was no evidence of any Impurities. The exposed
bed of the big water .container was getting green
with grass in places, and there were no stagnant
sections.
It was ip Mount Kisco only that any deleterious
condition* were' found, and it was said that these
were not a menace because of the filtration of the
water through the adjoining soil. The brook, one
of the Croton feeders, crept sluggishly along, tur
bid as it was last year when The Tribune exposures
of threatening watershed conditions compelled rigid
inspection and the cleaning of cesspools that emp
tied Into the stream. The cesspools have not been
used Bince, and drainage from stables has been
ptoppefl. The work on the sewer system is being
pushed, so that soon every possible danger to the
city's water will be removed.
GENESEE'S ACCOUNTS CALLED LAX.
Albany. Aug. 13.— Criticism of the conduct of the
financial affairs of Genesee County is made in a
statement, given out to-day by the State Con
troller, which summarizes the report of an in
vestigation of the departments of that county con
ducted under the direction of Controller Martin H.
Glynn.
The statement alleges "that the examiners found
that illegal and unauthorized payments have been
made from the county treasury aggregating mo^e
than S1S.000: that the County Clerk. Sheriff and
surrogate's clerk have retained fees to which thpy
were not lawfully entitled; that extreme looseness
has prevailed In the administration of the county
poor funds; that the system of accounting In the
office of the County Treasurer is inadequate and
defective, and that the Board of Supervisors has
been careless and indifferent in the auditing of
hills and the discharge of other duties."
