MORGAN SEES TEDDY
MAGNATE HOLDS CONFERENCE
 WITH THE PRESIDENT.
CRntOn-HankOw Railroad in China and It's Probable Disposition by Pres ent Owner Again Come Up
 for Discussion.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 2S.-J. Pierpont Morgan had an extended conference to- day with. President Roosevelt. The conference related to matters pertain ing to the Canton -Hankow Railroad in China and its probable disposition by the present owner, the American China Development Company. The firm of J. P. Morgan & Co.. probably controls the road and It's concessions.
 Mir. Morgan visited the President several weeks ago on mission simi- lar to that of today. Subsequently Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, the Chinese Minister, had a conference with the President on the same subject. No definite disclosures were made regard
 ing either of the conferences. The Chinese government has proposed to the development company that 1t sell the road and it's concessions to China, the price being generally regarded as close to $7,000. .000 So far as can be learned the directors of the company have not finally passed upon the offer of the Chinese government. It is said
 to be the intention of the directors to hold a meeting tomorrow in Jersey City. the American-Chin Development Company being a New Jersey corpora
 tion and it Is likely that at that meet ing the question of the disposition of the road Will De determlned uennlIely. Mir. Morgan arrived in Oyster Bay on his steam yacht Corsair shortly before
 1 o'clock this afternoon. Accompanied
 by a man whose name is not obtain able, he went fin one of the Presidents carriages to Sagamore Hill. There Mir. Morgan and his friends were luncheon guests of the President and Mrs. Roosevelt. They remained with the
 President until nearly o'clock, return lDe than to the COrsair which sailed soon after they went aboard. It can
 be said positively that tho conference
 had no relation to the pending peace negotiations, although that subject may
 have been referred to in the course of the conversation.

Montana Ssptuagenarian
Must Die on Gallows

Butte, Mont. July 1.-The oldest
person to be legally hanged in the
United States, so far as the records
show, will be sent to his death in
this city on July %. The condemned
man is Miles Fuller, a prospector
aged 20. Fuller was convicted of the
murder of Henry Callahan a year
ago. After once attempting to poison
his victim by placing strychnine in
his coffee, Fuller waylaid and shot
him in the back. He suspected Gal
lahan of robbing his sluice boxes,
but 1t was shown al the trial that
another man was the thief.
Fuller's age aroused much sympa-
thy and 1t required considerable eff
fort on the part of the trial judge to
pass sentence of death.
The condemned man has been a
familiar figure in Butte for thirty
years, but little is known of his his
tory prior to coming to Montana.

Just now fashion says women must
wear short sleeves. The women with
bony arms squirm a little, but still
they drop off the sleeves. Fd' bones
or no bones woman must be in fash
ion.
Nothing improves the arm so much
as exercise. The beautiful arm is the
arm that has muscle. The size, round
ness and p%lumpness of the arm is
muscle, A firm mucle improves even
the appearance of the skin.
The woman who pounds a typewrit-
er all day usually has a plump round
forearm. The woman who stands all
day sc.ubbing up and down on the
dashboard, has, as a rule, little need
to mourn over a thin, skinny arm.
Some beauty doctors have advo-
Gated sweeping as a means of devel.
oping the arms.
But the woman who wants to i'm.
prove her arms without working does
1t by playing golf. Beating carpets
would do just as well. but golf sounds
more ~aristocratic.
Few games possess the fascination
that golf does. And at it women have
a chance to compete on almost ever
terms with men.

many. Combined with the long walks

short, stift-arm strokes, will round

GRAY HAIR IS THE RAGE
siLvERY LOCKS AMONG LEADER OF NEW Works. -FOUR HUN

tey Cynthia erey.l

We are such a lot of apes, we

Let a leader Of the 900 turn a Sc
ries of somersaults down a fashiona-
BILE drive in Central park, and presto!
the rest of us follow suit just as Don
as we can find money enough to buy
costumes suitable for such a feat.
But Mrs. John Jacob Aston has
started a sensible fad; a fad for
gray hair.
She couldn't help its being sensible.
Nature got In her good work as TO de.
Gliding that the hair should be gray.
But Mrs. Aston proved herself equal
TO the occasion by pretending that
gray hair was the one thing needed
TO complete her happiness.
When she saw that IL really must
be gray, she made the most of the
crow of glory. She dressed It so
that the tufts of hair still dark were
tucked away beneath a fun of gray.
She consulted her hair dresser and
found that the beauty OF gray hair
lay in keeping the Whit hairs per,
fectly and purely white, and all the
hair clean.
The result was as beautiful as she
hoped II to be. Mrs. James Stillman
followed suit. All the gray hairs OF

Harrisburg, Pa, July with the
endorsement of T. b. Creamer as
president of the Tri-state Assocsa-
ton, commonly termed the OUTLAW
league war is to be declared upon
the leagues associated under the ma
tional agreement.
President Creamer rendered his
resignation a few days ago because
the directors refused to endorse his
action in ~suspending Captain Calhoun
and Manager Hamilton, of the local
team
Ii was limited that the suspension
was the result of major league machi-
nations. 1t was figured that Harris.
burg, without the players, would re-
fuse to play, and that In the mix-up
the Tri-state would probably break
up. However, Harrisburg played, and
now, they say, the league is out for
somebody's blood.
To the base ball student there APP
pears to be 40 excuse for outlawry
in the Tri-state Association. The
towns are not, with perhaps one or
W exceptions, large enough to sup
port class AA base ball, TO which
class the American Association and
the Eastern League belong.
But because Il was not recognized
as eligible to class AA, which would
allow 1t to draft from class A and
smaller leagues, the Tri-state decided
to ignore the national agreement and
the National Association of Minor
Leagues and stand as an Independent
organization.
1t then began to sign players who
had been reserved by the major
Albuquerque evening citizen. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1905-1907, 1905-07-01

1t was confidently expected that
when the league magnates met to fill
the vacancy caused by Creamer's res
ignation that a man acceptable to all
the directors would he chosen. Hal
risburg and Lancaster were bitterly
opposed to Dreamer and did every
thing but openly charge him with
embarrassing the TTi-state in tn
interest of the big leagues. Now that
the directors have refused, by a vote
of six to two, to accept his resigna-
ton, and have endorsed his veIy ac-
ton, 1t is expected the wartime WOO
ing of big league players will be con-
tinued with renewed vigor.
All in all, the situation in base ball
looks serious.
Rowdyism is rampant in the Tri-
state. II the magnates stand for it,
as do the fans, seemingly enjoying
he mix-ups. II any thing more was
needed to assure a speedy finish of
the league the teams would doubtless
furnish it.
Action on behalf of the Brooklyn
team, Col. John /. Rogers, formerly
owner of the Phillies, has notified the
ex-National League k~angaroos, in the
Tri-state, that unless they return to
their respective teams, injunction pro
ceedings will be instituted prohibit.
ing them playing ball in P~ennsylva.
mia.
And this threat will be carried out.
The action is based upon the Lajoie-
Bernhard decision. Such a move
would be a blow to the outlaws al
this time.
Knowing that every club in the as
ISOLATION, Harrisburg possibly except
ed, will be a big loosen financially, the
men behind the various clubs have
put up large sums to maintain the
league.
The section covered by the asso-
citation is base ball crazy. The towns
are apparently inhabited by fans only,
who refuse to work afternoons while
the teams play. And employers are
in sympathy. Shops are closed SO
the men may attend the games. Bust
ness men have contributed to popular
subscriptions to support the teams,
that the best men may be secured.
You can't beat that, can you?
Every i~nducement is offered bail
tossers to join the outlaws. Big sal.
aries during the playing season, prom
ises of lucrative positions out of
season, real estate, automobiles, fast
hoIses-all have been rendered play
ers on the side.
