cIOsed-BeIief That Recent Develop
 ments Relating to Life Insurance Re-
 ceived AttentiOn-President to Take
 Up Matter in His. Annual Message.
 Oyster Bay N. Y, Sept. 20.-A con ference of importance was held tonight at sagamore Hill, the participants be- ing President Roosevelt, Elihu Root, secretary of state; Henry Cabot Lodge, senior United States senator from Mas sachusetts, and Joseph H. Choate, for mer ambassador to Great Britain.
 While it is known that a particular subject of great concern to the country was under consideration, the nature of which was not disclosed officially to- night, the opportunity was embraced by the president to discuss with his visitors some matters relating to the foreign relations of America. This is the first suitable opportunity the presi- dent has had to talk with Secretary Root since he assumed his duties as secretary of state. Only recently Sec retary Root returned from an extended trip to Labrador, where he went with his friend, Colonel William Cary San ger, on fishing excursion, Since his return he has been completing his ar engagements for assuming actively the duties of secretary of state.
 Secretary Root, Senator Lodge and Mir. Choate arrived here together on the Long Island railroad train due here at 5:39 p. m.
 What Is the news here? I really know nothing worth publishing" said Secretary Root as he shook hands with his newspaper friends. q have just returned from Labrador. you know, and am not supposed yet to be the repository of many state secrets"
 In response to inquiries, the seere- tary said he expected to go to Wash ington about the first of October and until then would not undertake in the full acceptation of the term, the duties of his office. He did not care to dis cuss the object of his visit on the pres ident at this time further than to say they probably would talk over a good many things"
 Neither Senator Lodge nor MT. Choate was more communicative re- gardtng the conference.
 The visitors were met at the station by a messenger of the president, who conducted him to carriage from the Sagamore Hill Stables. They arrived just as a heavy thunderstorm broke over the village and left for the pres- ident's home. in driving rain.
 It is unlikely that among other topics of discussion, the recent insurance com panies received an important snare or attention at the conference. All of the visitors are more or less familiar with the insurance situation, and as the president expects to take up that sub ject in his forthcoming annual message to congress, in the preparation of which he now is engaged, it is quite natural that he should wish to consult his close friends and advisors about the matter.
 All three of the visitors will remain as guests of the president and Mrs. Roosevelt until tomorrow.

NJ CUE WILL HANG
PROMINENT VIRGINIAN
WHO MURDERED HIS WIFE.
The woman's Jealousy at the Bottom
OF the Quarrel, Which Resulted in
Her Being Shot-Defendant Was a
Lawyer and for Years Had Prac-
ticed in the Court Where He Was
Convicted.

Staunton, Va, Feb Everything
is in readiness for the execution here
tomorrow of ]. Samuel McCue, for
mer mayor of Charlottesville, con-
yicted of the murder of his wife.
Owing to the prominence of the con-
demned man. and the general atten-
tion attracted to his case, there is a
great demand for tickets to witness
the hanging.
The crime for which the ex-mayor
is to pay the death penalty occurred
on the night of September 4 of last
year Mr.. and Mrs. McCue had gone
to church, returning home about
O'Clock In the evening. Shortly after
ward Mrs. McCue's dead body, clad
I'm a night robe, was found in bath
tub filled with water. Mr.. McCue
. told those who came in that someone
had entered the house upon their re-
turn from church; that he had been
knocked senseless and his wife prob
ably killed. An investigation led to
the arrest on the charge of murder
of the man who only four days be-
fore had retired from the mayoral-
ty OF Charlottesville.
Mrs McCue had received the con-
tents of a shotgun in her breast, a
sufficient wound to cause instant
death, but in addition she had been
struck heavy blow on the head,
cutting an ear nearly in two.
McCue at first laid the crime to a
stable boy. and offered $1,000 reward
for evidence to convict the murderer.
The day after he offered the reward
he was himself arrested for the crime.
At the trial which followed several
witnesses testified that the married
life Of Mr.. and Mrs. McCue had been
marred by jealousy on the part of the
wife and that they were continually
quarreling One sad feature Of the
trial was the fact that McCue had
for years been a lawyer at the bar
before which he was tried and con-
victed, and had been on friendly
terms with most Of those identified
with the trial.

With lawn in front
And garden patch behind

That was your dream.
You talked about 1t In your sleep
And to your friends long suffering and
