GLACIER POINT, Oct 9. Pres
ident Taft has decided to take a trip
to the . Philippines in . the summer of
1911,' unless' some unforseeh " situa
tion arises which will prevent him
from so doing. He also announced he
would make a personal visit to both
Alaska and Hawaii next summer and
take .particular note of the condition
of those countries, for himself.
His visit to the . Philippines, how
ever will be of far greater magnitude
than has ever been attempted by any"
former American president Taft ex
plains that he would go on a fa3t
cruiser and arrange beforehand ; to
meet a representative party of con
gressmen in the Orient and would
then proceed to the Inlands. He be
lieves that this trip would be of great
benefit to both of the countries by
bringing them closer together and
by causing them to arriTe at a bettor
understanding.

Xarow Escape.
SEATTLE, Oct 9 Five children
were Beverely cut and brul3ed and
more than a hundred persons .mostly
women and children were slightly
shaken up when the Green Lake car
smashed the rear end of ft trailer ot
- ithe Wallingford Avenue car on West
Lake tressel. llany of the occupants
j had a very narrow escape from be-
ing crushed to death. If the Impact
had been a little harder both cars
would have gone over the tressel and
the harvest of death resultant from,
this would have been Blmply awful
as the trestle Is an exceedingly hlgli
one and the car were crowded.
