PRESIDENTS VACA-
ton AT HAND.
PROPOSES to Remain UndiSturbed al
Oyster Bay Till September.
SpaciaI tn TIE ARGUS.
Special to THE ARGUS.

Washington, June 11.-There were
many callers at the White House today
to say goodbye to the President, who
will leave tomorrow for his summer
home at Oyster Bay. According to
present plans the President will not
return to Washington until September,
making it the longest vacation at Oys-
ter Bay he has ever h9d there.
It is the Presid ent's hope and desire,
as expressed to some of his intimate
friends who called today, to have a
quiet summer, and to do only the work
necessary to keep the wheels of the
government going smoothly. He will
stay outdoors as much as he can, with
the object of recuperating from the
hard winter he has had.
There will be some political confer
ence, during the summer, but b Presi-
dents plans now are to let politics
alone. The President will be accom-
panied to Oyster Bay by Secretary
Loeb and a clerical force, the same as
last summer.
On leaving Oyster Bay the President
will go to Canton, in September, to at
tend the McKinly memorial dedication,

Boil Weevil In Texas.

New Orleans, La, June.-Dr. W. D. Hunter, government entomologist and the most eminent authority in the world on the boil weevil, said: The mild winter and the wet spring have been exceptionally favorable for the weevil and they have increased amaz- ingly. From my observations and the observation of my assistants. l calcu' late that there are thirty times more weevils in Texas at this time than there were at this time last year. The propagation of the weevil was mate rially assisted by the great quantity of volunteer cotton in Texas this spring, the winter being so mild that much cotton, even as far up as north Texas, was not killed. The weevil now extends from San Antonio to the river in Louisiana, and for distance of 70 miles up into Indian Territory"

Leave Texas.

Dallas, Tex, June.-Followin con- ference at New York between the di- rectors of nonresident life insurance companies, Maurice E. Locke, attor- ney for most of the big nonresident companies, announces definitely that all of the larger companies will with draw from Texas July II, and will not continue to do business in this state. Some of them have already transfer red their records to points outside the state and have removed their office fixtures. The cause of this action Is the inability of the companies to con- ply with what is known as the Robert son law passed at the last session of the Texas legislature, and which will go into effect July 12. This bill re- quires that companies doing business in Texas shall deposit 76 per cent Of the reserves on Texas business inside the state at Repositories designated by the state.

Recreation for Working People.

Turning from the more substantial features of industrial betterment to what may be called it's lighter, though not less important side, there are all sorts of opportunities for recreation A large factory or department store has & social life all its own; there are clubs, athletic, social, literary and musical The sensible outdoor life of the English leads to open-air match games, tennis, bowling, cricket and swimming for the men, croquet and tennis for the women. Compulsory gymnastic exercises are given in the company's time by physical directors. Where there is piano in the recrea- tion rooms a dance or concert bright ems the noon hour, says Mary R. Gran stOn, in the Reader. Picnics and vaca- tion camping parties in summer take the place of dances and match ball games in winter The saloons have found a powerful rival in the latter, for practice at noon leaves little time and less inclination for beer or other stimulants. Dublin, Ireland, Pfttsburg and New York may boast the distinction of roof gardens for em- ployes. It is queer that roofs are not more frequently used in cities where it is so difficult to make any kind of improvement without great expense. For very little the roof of the average factory could be made joy forever and great safeguard by keeping young people from idling in the streets at noon.

Japanese Talk Calmly.

Tokio, June.-The text of a resolu- tion which has been adopted by the Constitutional party is as follows; "The persecution of our compatriots is deeply to be regretted for the sake of both America and Japan, but we must not forget that there exists be- tween the two nations the closest friendship, which might almost be call ed an alliance. lin face of the pro- fessions of the government at Wash ington and the American people in general, such incidents as are report ed to have occurred must not be talk en as expressions of their will. It is believed therefore that the question if properly handled is capable Of just and intelligent solution. We must refrain from becoming excited over the unlawful conduct on the part Of the people and thus injuring the na- tional cause. We expect that prop CT settlement will soon be reached through peaceful diplomacy"

TO TRY TWO CENT FARE
Judge At Kansas Decides mat nd"' roads Must Try New Rate For
 90 Days.

Kansas City. Mo, June.-ln the United States Circuit Court Monoay Judge Smith McPherson decided that the state 2-cent railroad rate shouio be put into effect until it can De as certained by experience whether - cent fare is remunerative. He retains Jurisdiction in the case, however, anu will hear proceedings for injunction against the freight and passenger laws within a week or more. The Z-ceh' fare bill was written by Attorney Geh' eral Hadley, after study or oecls- ions, to bring the law out or the con trol of lesser federal courts as far as possible. Judge McPherson declares that the skill of the draftsman can not oust the federal court from Jurls- dicton. Assuming Jurisdiction, ana allowing the fight for an lnJunctioh to go on, he declines so to amend the order of injunction in the old case as to prevent the state from enforcing the 2-cent fare law until it can De shown that the rate is not remunera- tive. The railroads must therefore try 2-cent fares, anl If they find them ruinous, the court can take U the question of stopping the enforcement of the law on showing that they may make hereafter.
 The decision is in the case 6 Wa bash Railway Company against Her bert S. Hadley, attorney general oi Missouri, and other state ohcers Judge McPherson announced, by an agreement, that, beginning June l9 the Missouri 2-cent rate and the max imum freight rate laws would be ID effect 90 days as a test.

PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE
Benefits from New Law, Which A
 mains Substantially Unchanged,

Through the influence of Col Hughes, the New York Legislature D cided to make no radical changes the new insurance law. It was pointi out by Gov. Hughes that the New Yd law has already accomplished wi spread reforms, with proportion benefits to policyholders, and that should be given thorough trial fore any amendments were seriou considered. It is estimated that 7 cost of the mismanagement of the p did not average more than 20 cents each policyholder, while the beneA| to present and future policyhold4 will amount to many times more be cumulative besides. The sp craze of the big companies and the cessive cost of securing new busin was the most extravagant evil of old arrangements. Under the regime the cost of new business already been greatly reduced, all with other economies.
 The showing made by the Equia Life Assurance Society in it's repd for 1906 was strong argume against meddling with the new In the Equitable alone there wal saving ef over $2,0O0,000 in expea besides an increase in the incd from the Society's assets amount to as much more. The ratios of Equitable's total expenses to its income was 19.42% in 1904, 17.3ST 1905, and only 14.4S% in 1906. dividends paid to Equitable pol holders in 1906 amounted to $7 ,2se, which was an increase of more 99o over 1905.
 While the Equitable made bet showing than any other big compas all reported radical economies and der such conditions the Legislat1 wisely decided to leave the law stantially as it stands.
