SENATOR LODGE THE
GUEST OF ROOSEVELT
Goes to Sycamore Hill by Special
Invitation on Return From
European TriE

iIiP
OYSTER BAY, Aug. Ex-senator
Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts,
who landed in New York late this af-
ternoon from a European trip, is a
guest tonight of President Roosevelt
at Sycamore Hill.
Senator Lodge went abroad about
three months ago. shortly after the
senate had concluded it's spring Sc
sion. 1t was admitted at the time OF
his departure that he was taking the
trip for recreation and rest, but 1t is
known that while he was in Great
Britain and France he conferred with
eminent statesmen and officials of those
countries.
When he arrived in New York to-
day he received a message from the
president inviting him to visit at Saga
more Hill, and in response he arrived
here at 1858 tonight.
The senator says his trip had no
official significance.

BANKERS ARRAIGNED
ON LARCENY CHARGE
Denver Men Accused Of Receiving
Deposits When Institution Was
Insolvent
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
DENVER, Aug. 12.-President w. G..
Brown and the other officers of the
closed Western State bank were ar
raigned in the criminal court today on
charges of larceny in having received
deposits when they knew the bank to
be insolvent. They asked for a con-
tinuance, and Judge Booth M. Malone
gave them two weeks to prepare their
answer.
Suit was filed today in the district
court by Edith M. Raymond. who asks
that III. M. Beatty, assignee of the
Western bank. be removed. 1t is alleged
in the complaint that Beatty is in col
lusion with the banks officials now and
that he was a party to the transactions
prior to the closing of the banks door
that led to criminal proceedings being
instituted. The plaintiff has an open
account of $S45 and a $500 cashiers
check in the Western bank.

MRS. ANNA OBEAR
EXPLAINS NEEDS
SAYS TOTS MUST HAVE PHYSI-
CAL CULTURE
Former Wife of Wealthy Real Estate
Dealer Asks Court to Increase
Amount to $500
Month

Is $100 a month a sufficient sum
upon which to rear three bright chill
dren, keep them in good, substantial
clothing, give them the advantage of a
modern education and furnish an oc-
casional holiday?
This question will be answered by
Judge Bordwell of department four of
the superior court.
Upon the judges opinion rests the
decision in the suit of Mrs. Anna H.
Obear of McClintock avenue against
Winston H. Obear, a wealty real es-
tate dealer.
The legal battle between Mrs. Obear
No. 1 on the one hand and Winston
Fl. Obear and Mrs. Winston Cross
Obear, otherwise known as Mrs. Obear
No. 2, on the other ragged fiercely in
Judge Bordwells court Friday and
many matrons were there to declare
Mrs. Obear No. was justified by the
calls of her family to ask for more
money.
500 Not Enough
exceeding the income by a considera-
Bile amount" said Mrs. Obear yester-
day. as she busted herself in tidying
her neat little home on McClintock
avenue. There are a hundred and
one things that growing children re-
quire that attorneys and judges can
rot appreciate unless they have little
ones Of their own. I have three chill
dren, awarded to me by the court at
the time 1 secured my divorce, the
eldest being thirteen years Of age.
"You take boy, not the story book
kind but just a natural boy. and no
matter how he tries to assist his
mother he is almost sure to wear out
pants at an average OF one pair a
month. Now you take two boys of the
same kind and there go two pairs of
trousers. Then there is the rental OF
a piano. I intend to give the children
as good an education as can and the
little girl is studying music. Eight
dollars a month is the plano rental
and the pay OF the music teacher is
added to that. Children are constantly
having their little Ills. and must re-
ceive medical attention more or less
all the time. and there is the money
for the physician. Any mother will
agree with me in these facts as to
what growing children need.
Physical Culture
1.-TWO of the children are fast out
growing their strength and I am put
ting them through course Of physi-
cal culture. Then there is the meat
bill and the grocer's bill and the huck-
sters bill ana the druggists bill and
the dentists bill and the cobbler's bill

and other incidentals too numerous to
mention.
II do the best can and do all my
own work." said the little woman, as
she held out two well-shaped hands
which bore the marks of toll in the
slight callouses in the palms.
On the other hand Obear is anxious
ly awaiting the decision. He admits
making somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of $500 month. He says his
home belongs to his wife, that his big
touring car belongs to his wife and
that he only furnishes the gasoline.
His current expenses are, according to
his account, $500. This is the bill for
the care of himself, his wife, his two
small children and for the living ex-
penses of the three servants.

STRIKING TELEGRAPHERS
ARE NOW WITHOUT JOBS
MUST APPLY INDIVIDUALLY FOR
THEIR POSITIONS
Two Propositions for Settlement Made
to Railroad Officials by the Unions,
but Both Were eclined-Nearly
All Places Said to Be Filled
By Associated Press.


ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 12.-The time
Of the ultimatum of General Manager
Horn of the Northern Pacific to strik-
ing telegraphers having expired at noon
today, those strikers who did not re-
turn to work before noon will be re-
railroad. All former employees, accord
ing TO officers of the railroad, will now
have to apply for positions the same as
outsiders.
1t is known that two propositions Of
settlement were made to the railroad
officials by the union officials directing
the strike during the past twenty-four
hours. One was that the management
of the road proposed in writing what
terms of settlement would be accept
able. This was fatty refused.
Another was made proposing a GER
tain increase in the salaries for the
men but much smaller than the amount
the strikers first demanded and per
mission for paid agent of the union
to work among the men on the system.
This was also turned down and the
strike officials notified that negotia-
tions would only be carried on with the
men as individuals.
The railroads claim to have filled
nearly all positions made vacant by
the strikers and therefore they can
take their pick of the men who desire
to be reinstated.
President Perham Of the o. r. T. in
a bulletin issued tonight says that be-
cause of the company's ultimatum hav-
ing passed the general situation is
more favorable than at any time during
the strike. More strike breakers have
been induced to quit the service dur
ing the past twenty-four hours than
any time since August 2.

LITIGATING FOR
BREWERY CONTROL
MAIER & Z0BELElN PARTNERS
DISAGREE
ANOTHER SUIT MAY BE FILED
Rumor Credits RetaIIatory Proceed
ings by Defendants In Contest
for Receiver and Great Legal
Battle Is Anticipated

Retaliating because of petition by
George zobelein for the appointment Of
receiver for the Maier e. Zobelein
Brewing company, the Maiers will in
sttute legal actions for their protection,
and 1t is said the papers are being pre-
pared.
The legal battle promises to be one
Of the greatest in the history of the
local courts, when all the petitions have
been entered, and the former partners,
now factions, settle down to the actual
quibble as to the question Of share
holding.
1t Is said that both parties claim to be
aggrieved. Zobelein, in his petition,
alleges that the young blood in the
concern, to wit, Fred and Joseph Maier,
is responsible for the trouble, as it was
through them that the old schedule of
stockholding was first agitated.
Now, according to statements of
friends of the Maier boys, more re-
cent disturbance in the corporation is
responsible for George Zobelein's action
in asking for the appointment of a re-
ceiver to disrupt the old firm.
Saloon Fight History
In speaking of the brewery trouble
yesterday, we'll known court official
and friend of the Maier boys said:
1.-The recent fight for the closing of
the saloons in Los Angeles is, believe,
responsible to a great extent for the
falling out of the directors of the Maier
G. Zobelein Brewing company.
"At that time, as the people of this
city will remember, the brewers had the
fight of their lives and no one knew this
better than Fred Maier. Upon the
keeping open of the saloons depended
the existence of the breweries, and be-
cause the saloons were kept open hun
dreds of thousands of dollars were vir-
tually put in the Golfers Of the Maier
& Zobelein company.
"Now, according to my knowledge.
Fred Maier was one of the chief factors
in saving his corporation. He worked
for the continuance of the saloons, and,
naturally, wherever he went he was
supposed to treat all who might be in
the particular saloons at the time.
"Plenty of morley can be spent in that
way, and from reports I understand
Fred Maier spent $4,000 for treats during
the campaign. This believe to be the
main cause of trouble in the corpora
tion, as have learned George Zobelein
objected strongly at that time to the
expenditure of such sum for such a
purpose"
AS the present condition of the share
holding of the company stands, the
Maiers hold 3746 shares of stock and
the Zobeleins hold the same amount.
There are six other shares, the owner
ship of which the court will have to
settle.
These six shares were given to three
employees of the company to make up
the number of shareholders when the
corporation was formed fifteen years
ago. Lately, according to statements
by the Maiers, they have been trans
ferred to their holdings. Zobelein
claims the six shares were obtained by
fraud, and this forms the basis for the
suit.
