BRUCE FINAL RESORT
SPECIAL DIsPArCH 10 THE CALL


NEW YORK. Sept. 22-There is a
strong conviction felt by many Repub-
licans in this city that the ultimate
outcome of the Republican State Con-
vention will be the nomination for Gov
ernor of Elihu Root. Secretary of State.
OF course. this is conditional on the
definite declinoion of Governor Hig-
gins to accept a denomination.
President Roosevelt sincerely desires
Mr.. Higgins to run agaln and has Of
fered him his hearty support. Second
to Governor Higgins. Mr.. Roosevelt in
clines toward Mr.. Hughes, but Hughes
has weakened himself by allowing his
name to be used in the factional fight
in New York, Kings and Erie counties,
where he failed to get any delegates.
If Hughes had repudiated the efforts
of Odell to use his name as a club
against Higgins. no one could stand in
the way now. He did not seize the op-
portunity.
There is a feeling in this city that
at the proper time Root will be brought
forward as the commanding figure in
national and world politics and not by
any means as the choice of Mr.. Roose-
welt, which he is not, and nominated.
1t was said last night that Mr.. Root
is probably the only one who can pre-
vent his own nomination. He did this.

also fear among city Republicans that
unless Root is drafted" the Higgins
leaders will combine on Lynn Bruce,

LETTER TO BE READ

PARIS, Sept. 22.-The letter TO the
Catholics of France. which was adopt
ed by the recent Council of Bishops
and, after having been signed by all
the prelates, sent to Rome for the ap-
proval of the Vatican. will be read to-
morrow in all pulpits in France. This
action has again brought the ques-
tion of the separation of church and
state to the fore.

deaux, the virtual leader of the church
party, questioned as to the attitude the

money which I shall distribute to the

This is time of serious importance

whose character and record are such
that they can be absolutely depended
upon to carry out the will of the people

BOSTON, Sept. IA Rome special
cable tonight says that the conflict be-
tween the Vatican and the French Gov
ernment has entered new phase, that
OF eonciliatory negotiations which the
French officials have volunteered TO
discuss rather than face a conflict with
the French Catholics. Owing to the
breaking OF OF diplomatic relations
between the two parties, the negOtia-
Mons have not been conducted by di
rect representatives, but the French
officials have asked the French pre-
lates 10 submit to the French cabinet
whatever notifications OF the separa-
ton law the Vatican desires made at
the approaching session OF Parliament.
The negotiations are being conducted
with the utmost secrecy. but IL Is
known that the principal among the
proposed notifications Is a provision
recognizing as legal only those asso-
Citations which shall be formed under
the authority OF the Bishops and the
Pope, thus securing for the new Cath
Ollie associations the same rights and
standing the law gives TO the Protest
ant and Jewish associations already
recognized as legal by the French Gov
ernment. II adopted IL will be I'M

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

- SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
RICHMOND Ind, Sept. 22.--By the
receipt of a letter from p. w. Street,
dated Red Bluff, Cal, there is brought
to light a remarkable story. More than
fifty-se years ago there lived in
Hagerstown q family by the name of
Street, consisting of the father. mother
and two infant daughters, aged / and 4
years. AS the story is told by the
mother, their domestic life was not
congenial One evening, during dis
mute. Mrs. Street, with her two infant
children, went to the home Of brother
for protection, expecting to return on
the following morning, which she did
only to find that her husband had gone,
leaving no trace.
Some years later Mrs. Street learned
that her husband had joined a party
of gold-hunters and had gone to Cali
fornia. After waiting long years with
no tidings from her husband, she sup
posed that he had met the fate of
many other travellers who crossed the
western frontier in 1S49. Mrs Street
was married to Jonathan Worl and
lived with him until his death To
them were born two children This
second marriage was not performed,
however, until Mrs. Street had taken
the precaution of legal separation.
After a separation of more than fifty
seven years street writes Tor 1nforma-
ton of his two daughters whom he de-
serted so long ago. One of them is
Mrs. E. NJ Rudy of Richmond. Ind, and
the other is Mrs. David White of Kali
kasia, Mich. The father wished to re-
turn for the purpose of righting the
wrong inflicted years ago, according to
his own statement. Street is SO years
old. He went direct to California on
leaving his home at Hagerstown. 1t is
the. general belief that Street has ac-
saws that they will take Immediate
steps to establish their rights. Mrs.
Worl, former wife of Street. remains
obdurate, refusing to see or even hear
