PRESIDENT HAS
JEWS PETITION
Much Discussed Appeal Now
in Hands of the Chief
Executive
MAY NEVER Be SENT TO RUSSIA

Oyster Bay. l.. l.. July i5.-An i'm
portant conference was held at Saga
more Hin between the president and
representatives Jewish citizens of the
Society of the B'nai Birth regarding
the petition to the Russian govern
ment on the Kisheneff outrages. Be
sides the president, the parties 10 the
conference were Simon S. Wolf, Of
Washington; Oscar S. Straus and Leo
N. Levi, of New York.
The administration has been embar-
rassed by the delay of the representa-
tives Of the B'nai Birth Society In
presenting the petition. A draft of the
document was handed to President
Roosevelt several weeks ago by Mr..
Wolf. but it was decided after some
consideration to modify the text of the
petition before presenting 1t formally
TO this government for transmittal to
Russia. Time was desired TO obtain
to the petition the signatures Of rep
resentatiye citizens of the United
States of all the religious faiths AS
a result the document was not placed
in the hands of the president until yes
terday.
The result of the conference at Sag.
amore Hill has not been disclosed yet,
but a strong intimation is given that
the petition may not be forwarded to
the Russian government The desire
OF both the president and Secretary
Hay is that the Kisheneff incident
should be closed as soon as possible
as further delay in its consideration
might prove embarrassing to this gov
ernment in other diplomatic negotia
tions with Russia.
Inasmuch as the Russian govern
ment has indicated by the adoption
of severe measures a genuine disposi
ton to punish adequately the perpe
traitors of the Kisheneff murders. ant
in addition those who instigated them
it is a problem for the president and
Secretary Hay to solve whether rep
resentataons concerning the inciden
NOW are either desirable or necessary
II is suggested that the whole mat

petition is in the hands of the Unite,

A Sad Frossie Tale.

A naughty young froggie, who lived
in a pond,
Wandered off, one spring day, in the
meadows beyond,
Disobeying. bad child, both his father
and mother,
Who had hidden him stay with his wee
baby brother
While they went to call, and take af-
ternoon tea
With their friend, Lady Toad, in the
old hollow tree.
And when they were feasting on but
terfiy wings,
And gnats and blue bottles, and such
dainty things.
Their servant, a beetle, came in a great
fright,
To say that the froglet had vanished
from sight
Just picture the grief of the father and
mother,
And the punishment waiting the bad
froggie brotherl
Their neighbor, the water-rat, stood
at his door,
And told how he saw a duck swim
from the shore,
How quickly she gobbled the poor lit
tie mite,
Before he could jump, or give one croal
OF fright
Oh! there's suffering In store for the
truant, it's certain,
But before that sad scene we will le
down the curtain.

Summer Millinery

one cannot confidently say, for instance,
that a Direstoire nat has come to stay. A
shape somewhat similar was tried last
summer and failed. Moreover, / do not
think Il was worn by more than a dozen
women, who were all Of a class rather
given to essentrdcity. The brim of this hat
sticks up in a spoon bowl shape In front,
and Is pressed down at the sides over the
ears. Two of the six had tulle strings fast
ened to the top OF the crown. and then
tied under the chin. This strape Is only
possible in Rice and Tuscan straws; n
would look very heavy IN felt or covered
with velvet.
The same may be said Of the new mush-
room hat, OF which even fewer put In an
appearance. Were 1t not that this hat has
an additional piece at the side, which turns
up sharply, It would be just the shape Of
a huge mushroom, an effect that IS all
the more conspicuous from the small
amount Of trimming vouchsafed it being
placed against the upturned piece.
The fact ts that an overwhelming pro.
portion of the best dressed women ap-
peared in the capelines and plateaux THAI
have enjoyed favor so long. Very few o.
the former had high crowns, but some
were rolled in front instead Of at tho
sides, or tilted back Off the face. Smaa
hats or toques were ait a discount.
In spite Of this, however, It IS seriously
affirmed that high-crowned hats will b
taken up for next summer by some Of thu
best houses. At the same time. there q
little doubt but that small-sized hats an,
toques will predominate; the novelties pro

The LOVabIe Girl

The most lovable type of girl is the
old-fashioned. The girl who thinks in
many things as her great-grandmOth
ers did before her: the girl who is
glad OF a mans protection, his arm
across a street, his help over a stile,
his assistance in carrying parcels. his
escort to the theatre-the girl who
could stand alone, if she had to do it,
but who greatly prefers to be spared
the necessity, says a writer in McCalrs
Magazine.
The girl who can spend a month at
home and stay in every night without
once being dull or bored.
The girl who can darn socks, fix
buttons, and. at a pinch. adjust a
patch.
The girl who can see good in every
thing. who has a large heart and a
kindly. amiable nature.
The girl who win be slow to anger
and quick to forgive, who will trust a
man, go through thick and thin for a
man, work shoulder to shoulder with a
man and scold him we'll when he de-
serves it.
She may be dark or fair, slender OF

which distinguishes the most hovable
type Of girl; the only way in which she
may be known is by the multitude OF

When you find a girl who has KEEP

do almost anything, the sunshine Of
home and the delight of old people and
children. you may be sure you have

a styllshly dressed couple drove 10 his
home in Camden and he found them 10
