companied to Oyster Bay by Baron Rosen, the
Russian Ambassador to the United States and
the junior Russian peace envoy
The distinguished visitors arrived in Oyster
Bay on the 1920 p. m. Long Island Railroad
train from New-York. They occupied a special
parlor car which had been attached TO the
train for their exclusive use by the courtesy OF
the railroad company. They made the trip TO
Oyster Bay without the companionshp of any
other Russian officials. Near them. however.
were Detectives Downing and Foy of the Cen
tral Office who had been detailed to afford
them personal protection. and George Burns. u
United States secret Service operative who
has been designated to act as the personal
guard of NJ Witte by the United States gov

A considerable crowd of tOwnspeople assem-
bled at the Oyster Bay station to sea the Rus

The ENJOYS were meg by messengers from the
Presidents Official, household. and, escorted by
the officers. were directed to a carriage which
President Roosevelt had sent to the station to
convey them to Sycamore Hill.
Neither NJ. Witte nor Baron Rosen would
make any comment on their visit They en-
tered the carriage in waiting and, with Sc
crct Service operative on the front seat. were
driven rapidly to the Presidents home in time
for luncheon President Roosevelt gave NJ.

Japan last week
ON leaving the train at the station here the
envovs found themselves face to face with
battery of photographers. NJ. Witte did not
seem to mind the snapshots in the least: but
the frequent clicking of the camera shutters
irritated Baron Rosen TO such an extent that
he waved tho photographers aside and made
a protest to the President against them soon
as he reached Sycamore Hill The President
accordingly sent two Secret Service men back
to the village before his visitors departed TO
request the camera men 10 deal more gently

The room packed with anxious serious
faces. The keynote was sounded from the first
when it was declared that the future of New

telephoned that he typuld do whatever the
citizens of New-Orleans decided that the situa-

After thirty minutes conference. this body of
men, representing practically every moneyed
and social interest in New-Orleans. declared
that 1t was absolutely necessary that the fed
eral government should at once take charge
Statements from such authorities Dr. White
DR.. Souchon and others were all that was re-
quired to bring the meeting almost to one mind
Yesterdays record of ffty-four cases was al
most enough Then it was learned that there
had been twenty-one new cases and five dea tbs
up to o'clock to-day. That was another pow
erfuI argument and II was time the federal gov
ernBaent should come IN.
It was then that Chairman Charles Janvier
of the citizens volunteer movement offered the
following resolution, which was adopted with
only one dissenting voice:
Resolved. That this meeting indorse the nrop-
osltion to ask the United States government to
take control of the yellow fever situation in
New-Orleans and Louisiana. and the Governor
Of the State and the Mayor of the city be re-

Probably no girl in all the world has so many friends, known and unknown, as Helen Keller. Her growth from pathetic living death into healthy, joyous, intellectual life is one of the miracles of the age. Now that she has come to a point where she can her self write understandingly of her life, and especially of her communication with others, spite of deafness, dumb ness, and blindness. every word is not only of interest but of value. Easily first, then, in interest and importance among the January Century's contents will be Helen Keller's "A Chat About the Hand," which will be illustrated with number of portraits of Helen Keller, alone, and with Joseph Jeffer- son, Miss Sullivan, Edward Everett Hale, and Professor Alexander Ora. ham Bell
