President Makes Effort toBring Together Republi-
can Members-
By JAMES HAY JrAnxious and insistent that his legta-
lative program be no longer delayed inthe House President today beforeleaving Washington fur Xew York announoed to his callers that he wouldlike to sell the Republicans of the
a caucus in the near future andmake definite arrangements for the pas-sage of the measure he particularly fa-vors
Ir Taft exj ots the Ohio delegation totake the itilUxtive in arrangta for thecaucus this week and the adoption bythat body of a satisfactory plan forenacting the desired legislation
What he passed in hurryupconsists of the followins
The railroad bill in such shape that itwill retain the provision for the interstate commerce court
Tho antiinjunction billThe saving bank MilSome of the teervaUon bills notablythat which gives the Presidentauthority to withdrew certain landsrom entry
Members SummonedMr Taft began the week this xnorn
by sending for some of the mostinfluential members of the party In theHouse an l pointing out to them thegreat importance of prompt action byCongress on his legislative program
He emphasized the countrys need forsuch legislation and pointed out the political wisdom of the lawmakers showing more activity than they have beendoing for the pest two months
Two of the men with whom he talkedTownsend of Michigan and Fish ofNew York made the suggestion thatend the delay was to have a caucus ofthe Republicans This thePresident elcomed as a wise suggestion and h has asked membersof the Ohio delegation to take the necterm to have the caucus sometime this week it is thought it willbe held Friday night
Second Conference PlannedOn Wednesday Mr Taft will have a
with RepresentativeTownsend regarding the railroad billMr Townend let it be understood thisafternoon that the President is satisfled with the measure as it has beenreported to the House from the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Com-merce but that he does not insist onIts going through unamended He hasraised some question of the wisdom ofthe long and short haul clause but he Iis extremely desirous that the commercecourt feature be retained in It
Mr Tuffs expressions of willingness Ito accept the House form the railroad bill will doubtless do much tochange the attitude of those Senatorswho have been Insisting that the Senateform go unchanged It is generally believed In the House that theHouse form of the measure is much themore effective of the twoTaft Grow Restive
For some time It has been rather anopen secret that the President wasgrowing restive under the corVnual delays to wjlch his legislative programhud benn subjected In the House Hecould see no good reason for such apolicy and he has realized all along theneed for the legislation both to solvethe problems of public policy whichaffect and alto to enable the Republican party to go before the countrywith a good record of things accom-plished
Ills activity In hurrying the legislators was members of theHouse themselves it is now thoughtthat Congress should be able to adjourn by June 1The Presidents first action towardgetting his program through within thenext six weeks was conference lastnight at the White with the entIre Ohio delegation and he got thatbodys promise to do all it could alongthe lines he mapped out
TAFT CONFERSWITH VERTREES-
For more than an hour today before the Presidents departure for NewYork John J Vertrees chief counselfor Secretary Balllngcr in the Congressional Inquiry was in privateconference with the Chief Executiveat the White House
The attorney declined absolutely tothe of visit butit Is assumed that he outlined to thePresidentIn detail what he expects to
show by the witnessesfense
Vertrees indicated in hisspeech to the committee on Saturdaythat much of his efforts di-rected toward showing that certainportions of the evidence brought outprosecution had been con-sciously fabricated

ere assisting in handling the crowdunobserved hid th egg Colonel Randle then announcer that the hunt wason and that the under of the egg wouldbe presented with a Shetland ponchildren were taken by surprise andvery few knew the part Mrs Andersonhad played
The search for Ue egg grew into amerry siftar but at a late hour no onehad been able to find it Meanwhile thepony not much larger than a Teddy
stood on a little kaoll and lookeddown the company
The was In view all the timeand seemed to stimulate the activity ofthe children in their endeavor to ibidth mui h coveied egglie larrest crowd of pleasureseekers-
that ever gathered across the EasternHranch ot this Potomac iKHired intoHandle lliKiilamls until the numberreached close to four thousand Therewere as many grownups as chil-dren on l nd and everybody Joined in
There were several hunts before thepony hunt the winners belr presentedwith guinea pigs chickens mi rabbitsCoL Arthur E opened the program with a short address in whichhe said the object of tile lunt was toget the children out Into the fresh airand give them a lesson in forestry
While the program was not scheduled-to commence until 130 the crowd beganarriving at 10 oclock Troops of smallboys made up an advance guard Bynoon the crowd was pouring in by hundreds and every car on RandleHighlands line was In use
The found seats on the highground overlooking Pennsylvania ave-nue a couple of yards backfrom the Eastern Branch On both skiesof the avenue there were hundreds ofchildren who kept a close lookout forthe first attempt to any of the fivehundred eggs which it had been announced would be near treesunder rocks and in various places alongthe edge of the avenue
Colonel Randle and hi issoelates hadexperienced difficulty enough hidingthe eggs for the nrst hunt but thewatchfulness of the children had be-come so acute it seemed it would bealmost impossible to hide the egg thefinder of which be presented witha Shetland pony

At the opening of the program thisafternoon Colonel Randle said that therabbit eggs would be hidden near oaktieee the guineapig eggs near hickorytrees and chicken eggs near locusts

Bill Authorizing Acceptanceof Carnegie Donation
Passes After Debate-
After more then an hours Jwultorydebate the House today passed theSenate bill authorizing the DistrictCommawioners to accept SMiOOO frotnAndrew Carnegie for the establishmentof a branch library at Takoraa Park
After its completion the District ofColumbia is to maintain the librarythe annual expenditure for this
in no instance is to exceed Mof the cost of the building
The bill was in charge of Representa-tive OIeott of New York Unexpectedopposition developed because of the factthat the population of Takoma Park isdivided between the District of Columbia and Maryland the State line splitting the suburb Representatives Madden of Illinois Douglas of Ohio Johnson of Kentucky and Hughes of NewJersey were inclined to insist that Maryland should pay a part of the cost ofmaintenance Representative Tawney ofMinnesota said that he was afraid theestablishment of the branch library atTakoma would set a bad precedent inthat demands might spring up from all-over the District
The bill ws eloquently defended byMr Oicott Mr Goidfogte of New YorkMr Sulzer of New YorX Mr Pearre ofMaryland and Mr Kahn of California-all of whom referred to the fact thethe people of Tacoma are six miles
