would not go to Nahant or Beverly to '

President Roosevelt, Senator Jxidge, |
or any other national leaders, hut that
he would take the train this afternoon

BEVERLEY, MASS., June 30.—The
Summer Capital was invaded to-day.
The attacking force was an army
newspaper men who descended upon
the north shore early to-day armed j
with fountain pens and cameras ready :
for that much-talked-of meeting be
tween President Taft and Col. Roose
velt, which was expected to take place
this afternoon. The road In front of
the Taft cottage at Burgess point was
ihe camp. No one was permitted on
tlie grounds of the president's cot
tage, but Just outside a crowd gath
ered that grew with ejfjery train.
Meanwhile Col. Roosevelt is still the
guest of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
at Nahant, where he spent the night.
The ex-president said last night that
he would probably motor over to the j
summer white house this afternoon.
There was much speculation regard- ,
Ing the meeting. This was the first
time that President Taft and his pred- ;
ecessor in office were to see each other l
since their memorable' farewell in the j
White House March 4, 1908. while a |
blixxard was raging. Roosevelt then j
turned his back on American affairs ,
with a promise that he would keep
cut of the political limelight for a lung
time, a promise that he kept. That
Roosevelt does not endorse some of the
acts of the Taft administration is well
known and some of the politician here
profess to believe that an open break
Is likely to foliow to-day’s meeting.
Others paint oat that this la unlikely
and that Col, Roooevdlt can be de
pended on to let nothing leads out to
indicate what he said to Taft or what
Taft said to him until after he has re
turned to New York. k
Consider New York.
There seemed to be an excellent
chance that the New York state sit- ,
uatlon might be considered. A good j
part of the opositlon to the Hughes
policies comes from federal'office hol
ders and Roosevelt is expected to make
It plain to Taft that federal interfer
ence will not be tolerated If he (Roose
velt) is to tie held responsible for the ;
life of his party In his native state j
as now bids fair to be the case.
Roosevelt swung the hig stick in '
New York state last night when he :
came out with an endorsement of ih»
Cobb direct primary bill and the legis
lates lenders immediately resented
what they termed his “unwarranted!
Interference.”
This morning President Taft went i
to the Myopia hunt club to play golf i
with John Ha* s Hammond.
Everything at the executive offices
is going along smoothly. Secretary 1
Norton said that evidently the public j
had come to realise that the presl j

lutely no engagements are being made
for two weeks, the only break 1n the

Search—Story of ( rimes.
The mystery of a long series of
bold daylight robberies, perpetrated
by a lone negro highwayman,^ with
white women of the West Knd as hla
victims, has been solved, according
to the belief of the police, in the
arrest of Percy Johnson.
The negro, a gigantic black, was
arrested shortly berorc daylight
Thursday morning by Detectives Wi
ley and Kellam at Seventeenth and
Marshall streets. They bad been
looking for him for nearly three
weeks. ^
Johnson was taken to the first pre
cinct station, w here a few hours
later he was identified by a Mrs.
Dotlnghelmer. of No. 2303 West Grace
street. Mrs. Dotlnghelmer was on a
street car a few days ago. when a
negro snatched a purse from Mrs.
Dodson The thief escaped, and Mrs.
Dotlnghelmer got only a fleeting
glimpse of his face, but saw his back.
It was this view that led to her
Identification.
When she arrived at the police
station Thursday morning, in re
sponse to a telephone call from t’htef
Werner, ten t negroes were brought
out and stood in line for her inspec
tion.
"Turn them around and let me
look at their backs." said Mrs. Doting
helm.
This was done, and after scanning
each man carefully, she unhesitating
ly pointed to Johnson,
Since the Identification detectives
have been closeted with the negro
Jor several hours, questioning him
rigidly. It is said that they hope to
secure a full confession.
The story of the crimes of w hich
Johnson Is' charged with perpetrat
ing extend over the past three weeks.
During that period numerous caaes
g>f purse snatching have been re
ported to the police, and In each In
stance the details were strikingly
similar, and indicative of a desperate
character.
- Invariably, for instance, the purse
snatching was committed in broad
dayltght. Invariably the victim was a
white woman, and invariably the
thief got away with a good haul.
Probably the most noted of these
robberies was that In which Mrs. ft.
H. Van Dine was the victim. The
latter was robbed on Fifth street,
near Grace. She' grappled with the
thief and .vaa terribly beaten by him.
The latest of the robberies took
place Monday afternoon, when Mrs.
Dodson had her Purse snatched as
she was preparing to board a Broad
, and Main street car.
Detectives Wiley and Kellam. who
i arrested Johnson, were the recipl
| ents of warm congratulations from
their brother officer* on their catch.
The two detectives have been scour
ing the streets from midnight until
daybreak for several nights looking
for their quarry, with only the rather
meager descriptions gives by the vic
tims of the latter to guide th< m
Johnson, If he proves to be the
guilty man, will probaotg be given a
separate trial for each offense, and
will go to Jail for terms aggregating
many years.
"If he is the man. aa we believe,
he Is certainly a desperate character,"
said Chief Wernet'. "Richmond has
nevsr had a thief who washed more
boldly." ,

_
XO DISCUSS 10X PROBABLE]
Matter was Thoroughly Threshed
Out During Dying Hours of
Legislature.
Former Governor Claude A. Swan
son will he appointed by Governor
Mann to flit the unexpired portion of
Senator Daniel's term In the upper
house of congress.
This was determined many months
ago while Senator Daniel lay at
death's door In Daytona. Florida. No
official action in the matter will be
taken by the chief executive for sev
eral days, however, certainly not until
alter the funeral of Virginia's fore
most statesman, whose body now lies
In his historic home in Lynchburg.
The term of Senator Daniel would
have expired on March 4, lull, but
at that time he would have begun
another term, the last legislature hav
ing unanimously re-elected him.
Mr. Swanson's appointment as Sen
ator Daniel's successor will undoubt
edly bo approved throughout the State
and by* all the politicians This be
lief is prompted by the fact that the
discussion about Senator Daniel's suc
cessor during the early spring showed
that Mr. Swanson was the favorite of
the governor, politicians and the peo
people of the State.
Two Primaries.
Senator Daniel’s uealh means that
two primaries will be held next sum
mer, although It was believed that
only om would be necessary, as the
legislature, when It re-elected the dis
tinguished Lynchburg statesman, did
not dream that he would be beyond
mortal realms when his new term be
gan.
Senator Martin will go Itefore the
people in the primaries next summer
to ask re-election at their hands, ll
Is probable he will have opposition
from several quarters. At the same
time Mr. Swanson will have to face
a primary flght. as there are several
men anxious to make-the race with
him. among them being former Gov
ernor Andrew Jackson Montague,
Representative Hal Flood. Speaker
Hyrd and ex-Governor Hoge Tyler.
I It Is believed, however, that Mr.
i Swanson will win In the primary and
be elected for the full six year term
'in congress. While the governorship
of Virginia has been regarded as a
political graveyard. Mr. Swanson’s
service was so brilliant, successful and
: satisfactory to the people of the State,
that they not only heaped encomiums
1 upon him for his work, but on ail sides
i ll was sal<L that his political career
had but be^kn and that a higher niche
In the temple of fame awaited him.
Practically no discussion will be
heard about the appointment of Sen
ator Daniel's successor, as the mat
ter was thoroughly threshed out last
spring, and politicians agreed that
Mr. Swanson had earned the Senator
I Ini toga, and the selection of him by
| the Governor would be approved In
i all democratic quarters of the state.
Senator Daniel's near approach to
! the brink of death In March, Just as
j the Legislature was about to adjourn.
; brought forth a somewhat complicated
situation'll! the political theatre, many
j rumors as to the ambitions of differ
ent men. constitutional problems and
much regret, but they all ended In
the definite decision that cx-Oovernor
Swanson should succeed the “Lame
Lion of Lynchburg."
Flood Not In It.
It wao freely stated that Represen
tative Flood had ambitions to become
Senator, had proven a worthy and dis
i tlnguished representative of his dis
trict, and had been of sufficient as
{alliance to Judge William Hodges

Death Was Expected. ,
Senator Daniel's death bad been expected many months, although front,
time to tltge hopeful reports had been give nout regarding his condition, and
! he Improved so rapidly as to induce optimism.
i The distinguished Virginian's condition took a sudden change for the
worse, the belief being that the intense hot weather caused a hemor
rhage in his brain. He had suffered a similar affliction in Daytona, Fla,;
