ROOT IMPROVING
 AT MULDOON FARM
(continued from First Page.)

course of exercise suited to his age and strength and goes at his work with the energy you would expect from man who has come to the front as he has. He knows. something about boxing, too, seems to have learned 1t as a boy and never forgotten
 During his stay at White Plains, MT. Root has been resting as much as pos- sible from mental work. It was part of the agreement with Muldoon that no one should be allowed to see him ex- cept his secretary, physician and Mrs. Root and until today this rule had been violated only once--in favor of President Roosevelt, who during the first week of MT. Roots stay motored over with his family to pay a brief call Though no special effort had been made at secrecy MT. Roots presence had been quite unnoticed. He had rid- den almost daily with the other pa tients over the roads about White Plains, several times passing through the town, and had received his private secretary for the transaction of neces- sary state department business. His presence at the sanitarium became known through the filling at the local telegraph office of despatches for the state department.
 More surprising, however, than the good fortune of the secretary to secure a rest so long undisturbed, was the ability of the president and his family to visit the retreat for a call upon Mir Root, without his absence from Saga more Hill or his presence at Muldoons being known except to few. Even Secretary Loeb, who keeps In almost constant touch with his chief, did not learn until to-day of the presidents trip. Tn fact when told of it he was still positive that the president had not been at Muldoon's place It was not possible to get any word direct from Sagamore Hill but Secretary Loeb de. clared tonight that from his own knowledge he was prepared to undual- if1edly deny that MT Roosevelt had been away from oyster Bay this sum- Der, with the exception of his visit to Provlncetown, Mass. At the sanitar- ium it was stated, however, that the president crossed the Sound to Glen Is- land, and after leaving the launch made his way to the secretary's retreat by automobile.

 That unjust unfair and arbitrary means have been employed to force through this measure against the will of the people-among them we com plain that twelve of the charter com mittee of twenty-seven were office- holders having personal interests at stake and that no sufficient or reason able time was allowed by that com mittee for consideration by the peo- pie.
 That the charter so framed is crude and ill-drawn in many particulars, one of these being that 1t provides in one section for unequal taxation upon ad- joining properties of equal value, which, in the opinion of competent counsel, will lead to extensive and costly litigation.
 That although the so-called charter committee was especially selected by the friends of the proposed charter, a number of the members have publicly stated that they are opposed to it's Iadoption.
 That in the form embodied in the proposed charter, city government has throughout the entire country proved to be costly, inefficient and corrupt. For these and many other sufficient reasons we ask the aid of all intelli-. gent voters at the polls to prevent the adoption of this unwise and injurious measure.

Especial Journal-Courier News Service.)
 Bartholomew Totesco, the assaulter of Alta Gallaud, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Joseph Gallaud, has been caught by Sheriff McCabe and was tried this morning before Judge Thomas F. Welch. Miss Gallaud was standing near her home on Summer street Wednesday evening and Totesco came along. His actions were such that the girl became frightened and ran away. Thinking she would give alarm he also too flight. The girl explained the actions to her parents and they i'm mediately sent for a police officer. Me- Cabe came and asked the girl to stand in the same position in order to see whether the Italian would return. He failed to put in an appearance SO with the description which the girl gave the officer went out in quest of him and finally landed him. He was taken be- fore Judge Thomas Walch in the morning and tried. Mis- Gallaud iden- tified the man as her assailant, and he was found guilty. The penalty for such a crief is $100 fine or months in jail or both. Judge Welch thought that a six months term in jail would give him plenty of time to think mat ters over, and such was imposed upon him.
 This Italian tallies with the descrip- tion given by the Bristol street girl who was assaulted two weeks ago. She described him as a short, thick set man with dark moustache and this descrlp- tion tallies with the man caught by Officer McCabe.

PAVING COMMISSION AGAIN
VIII Award Contract for Shelton
 Avenue Tar Covering.

Avenue lar covering.
 The permanent paving commission is scheduled to hold another session at 10 o'clock this morning for the purpose of opening bids and award ing a contract for the laying of a tar covering on Shelton avenue This coating was determined on at meet ing of the commission held a couple of weeks ago. This covering is not the tarYia composition which it was found had risen nearly 100 per cent, in rrice since the last was ordered, but is a simple tar preparation which it is thought the bids this morning will show to cost about one-half the price for tarvia.
 While the bids will be opened and the contractors given a chance to compare their prices, it is doubtful if quorum of the members of the commission will be present, and the formal awarding of the contract will be delayed few days.
