PRESIDENT AT REST
HOW ROOSEVELT IS SPENDING
 HIS VACATION.
"EarIy to Bed and Early to Rice" b Ills Motto at sagamore HIIi- Protected from cranks by
 Secret Service Men.

Oyster Bay, L. I.-President Roose' | welt Is settled down in his country home on the hill" for the first actual rest he has enjoyed in five years. It is to continue for three months. A high stone wall has been erected between the Long Island railroad sta ton and Sagamore Hill and secret service men, under direction of Sec retary Loeb, hold the key to the only gate. All sorts of gentlemen, crank or crank1ess, great or little, find 1t hard to get past. Artists and camera men for newspapers have to run for their lives.
 The presidents day begins early. He may be seen on the veranda of his home at 5:30 a. n. almost any day, breathing the soft, cool air from the sound. After a brisk turn about the grounds g chapter from library book will engage him until the chil. dren begin focking from their beds, eager for breakfast and a day of rol. licking fun. As rule the first meal is served to the presidents family to- gether.
 A gamo of tennis usually follows the morning meal
 Usually in the forenoon the family take to their horses. This season the president is riding two new mounts, Audrey, black mare, and Roswell, a bay hunter. They were purchased in Virginia. Rusty, bay jumper, that has been out of service for two sea- sons, because of a complication of ailments, is fit again.
 Mrs. Roosevelt is also riding a new mare. named Molly, and from Vir. ginia.
 MT. and Mrs. Roosevelt ride through the shaded roads of the country, some times accompanied by Theodore, Jr., who is delighted with his new mount Gray Dawn, western cayuse of ex- cellent action and spirit, and the most showy animal in the Roosevelt stable.

FACE DEATH IN MIDAIR.
Two Aeronauts Land After Flight of l2 Miles in Blazing
 Ship.

Pottsville. Pa.-A blazing airship. which threatened to roast It's two occupants. 400 feet above the earth. amazed the residents in this section.
 The aerial craft was manned by George Phillips and companion, and It caught fire from a spark from the gasoline motor.
 Phillips constructed the ship on his own plans on a farm near Orwigs. burg. While making experiments he would allow the ship to rise about ten feet in the air. While he was taking one of these ascents tho ship got beyond control. and, rising swift. ly, struck course in this direction.
 As observed from S'. Clair the ship seemed to be making fast progress. going northward directly in the teeth of the wind. For a minute there was a bright flame visible. The shin de- scended swiftly and reached the ground badly damaged. after a flight of i2 miles.
 Phillips said the fire was only A flash in the pan" but he admits that he and his companion were consid. sring the project of jumping to tbe earth Ia the parachute to tsve them selves from being roasted to death

! descended to young Quentin. Archie
 has new and larger pony named Betsy.
 It is one of the principal sights of the town to witness the charge of the Roosevelt youngsters. in miniature rough rider costumes, through the quiet streets of the town on their steeds. Quentin rides like his father, giving his mount full rein and scat. tering the sand dust as he flies.
 Secretary Loeb arrives at Sagamore Hill from the executive office" down town at Il o'clock with the presidents mail and the New York morning pa. pers.
 If there are no visitors to luncheon the president rattles through his cor. respondence in less than two hours, and is free for recreation. His farm runs to the bay. the swimming beach being about 15 minutes walk from the house.
 The hot July sun served to put a red tan upon the countenance of the chief executive in less than a week.
 Two hours of the afternoon are spent in reading and writing at the broad library table or on the veranda.
 In the rear of the house the presi. dent is helping his farm hands to har- vest bumper crop of oats. The hay has not been taken in. He expects to take in from three to three and a half tons of timothy from his hillside meadow.
 Mrs. Roosevelt is busy in the after. noon with her large flower garden, and she has called upon the president frequently to assist her in the heavy work.
 The evening meal brings the family together again. The president ire quently reads or talks to the boys in the evening. The mosquitoes are coming in droves this year. and folks keep indoors after the sun goes down. well protected by netting.
 Nine o'clock at night finds Saga. more Hill slumbering.
 The deathly silence which fs the habit of the nations summer capital is occasionally broken by wild ru mors of misfortune having overtaken the president They are flashed in over the telegraph wires, mainly from western cities. and by the very nature of their ghostly import all business in the town subsidies until the col. ony of newspaper reporters have To- cated the president and found him safe.

ing ability, the short hobo eyeing the long legs of his neighbor with envy.
 Line up an toe the mark square" shouts the marshal.
 "Git set!"
 "Go!"
 The line surges, then breaks and on go the hoboes. The marshall and his assistants leap upon their walt. Ing horses and are off after the flying tramps, catching up with them and spurring the ambition of the laggards with sharp warning Hicks from their whips.
 Straight down the road goes the nying company. their heels pattering upon the ground with spurts of dust From tattered bulks they quickly dwindle into ragged specks and are soon lost to view in cloud of dust. while the assembled spectators shout with glee.
 As matter of fact, no man has yet been fiogged, but belief in the fog. ging of the last man across the ditch Is firm and no tramp that has once run the race has ever been known to return to the town of Wilson.

WANTS RUSSIA TO
SELECT HAGUE DATE
James Bryce Will Be One of Great
Britain's Delegates to the Next
Peace Conference.

London, December 29-For some time
past Great Britain has been trying to
induce Russia TO fix a date for the
next The Hague peace conference, but
thus far without success. 1t has been
urged that May would be the most con-
venient month for the conference, but
although this suggestion was made early
In the fall no reply has yet been received
from St. Petersburg.
The British delegates to the conference
probably will include a cabinet minister
In addition to James Bryce, the newly
appointed ambassador to Washington
Among those mentioned as possible dele
gates is Lord I-ealy, who has been pop
ularly known as Lord "EX-Reay" since
he failed to obtain the expected place
in the present cabinet. However, the
actual selection of delegates will not be
announced until something is heard from
Russia relative to the date of the con-
ference
The diplomatic exchanges which have
taken place here between the British and
American governments relative to the sit
uation. in the Congo Independent State,
lead to the belief that any steps to-
ward Joint sction by the powers in this
matter will be deferred until the Belgian
parliament finally decides the issue now
pending before it, as to whether Belgium
shall assume the place of King Leopold
In control of the Congo or not.

NEILL'S EFFORTS
ARE UNSUCCESSFUL
Has Held Numerous Conferences With
Southern Pacific Strikers, But
Has Not Given Up Hope.

Houston. Tex, December 29.-Numerous
conferences were held today by Commits
sioner of Labor Charles p. NELL. who is
here in an endeavor to effect a settlement
of the strike of the Southern Pacific To-
comotive fremen, and the contending
parties, but without success.
The railroad company has virtually
been eliminated from the negotiations and
the effort is now to find common ground
upon which the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers and the firemen's brother
hood can stand.
IT was ascertained today that the en-
gineers had conceded the firemen the con-
troll of the switch engineer members OF
the firemens organization, IT, In turn, the
aremen would allow the seniority of such
men to date from the time they became
engineers. The fremen contend that their
organization should have control or the
men. and insist that the seniority as en-
eineers shall date from the time they be-
came firemen.
This is the question that is preventing
n settlement of the strike, and 1t is the
principal cause of the failure to settle the
strike which will in all probability come.
So far as the operation of trains is con-
cerned, the Southern Pacific lines affected
seemed to lie little hampered, and that
is the reason the company is not much
concerned in the result of the negotia-
tons.
Commissioner Neill left Houston tonight
for visit to Austin. He left the infer
ence that he would return and resllne
negotiations.

Huuhes In Office.

The induction of Governor-elect Hughes
into office next week will be almost if
not without precedent in this state. For
the first time in recent years there will
be no political boss behind the scsnes to
arrange the real order of events, there
will be no old or new party dictator plan
ming to gain or regain control, and there
will be no suspicion that the incoming
governor is planning to erect party ma
chine for organization purposes. More
over, for the first time since the days of
Roosevelt, there will be a governor whose
acts will be watched by the country at
large with a view to the next national
election.
Mr.. Hughes made his own campaign for
the office and he promises to be his own
governor. lie was forced upon his party
by a combination of circumstances. lie
would not and could not have become
the candidate of his party had victory
been reasonably certain and the managers
had felt at liberty to indulge their prefer
ences and TO push their own designs 1t Is
further true that after he was nominated
he was left pretty well TO himself: that
he made i'm his own person about all the
campaign that was made and that he so
impressed the people that he was elected
by handsome, though not an impressive,
plurality, while every companion on the
ticket. every direct representative, that
Is. of the ordinary republican machine.

copy of the petition and that he had
not been notified as required by law.
Before the date was agreed upon Attor-

and filed it with the court: Petitioner
