ROOSEVELT ASKED
TO LEND HAND IN
ENDINGTHE STRIKE

Theodore Roosevelt. president
the United States, Oyster Bay,
Long Island. N. ": The business
OF this country, which is suffering
such serious loss to the extent Of
millions of dollars per day on ac-
count Of the deadlock between tho
telegraph companies and their en-
ployes, demands an Immediate set
tlement Of the difference at issue
SO that national catastrophe may
be averted.
In this great emergency we look
to the chief executive Of thls
country to take personal hand.
HIRAM N. SAGED, President.
Board Of Trade Of the City Of
chlago.
The above message was flashed over
the wires yesterday afternoon, thus
making the first direct appeal to the
chief executive to aid in re-
storing peace in the world of tele-
graphy.
All are Feeling Effects.
While the plea sprung from Chi
cago's great grain market, 1t was said
to represent the sentiment of the en-
tire business community. Every line
OF trade Is feeling the effects of the
strike, it was declared by board Of
trade officials. and, though Chicago
seemed to be bearing the brunt Of tho
loses, gradually the entire middle West
was being injured commercially.
Hence the directors of the board in
formulating the message, emphasized
the possibility of national "catas-
trope' unless the nations head In
tervened.
Something Of a decisive nature is
expected from President Roosevelt to-
day. Commissioner of Labor Neill re-
mained in the city yesterday, but
seemingly did little in the way Of
peace negotiations. His movements
suggested that he was merely investi-
eating matters and perhaps was await
ing word from his chief.

YOUNG saUAKERxss ELoPEs.
Marries Man Of Her Choice Despite
Parental Inhibition.

Parental 1nh1D1t1on.
/ Miss Jennie A. Haines, aged eighteen. a
Quakeress of Baltimore, came to this city
last evening and was united In marriage
with John M. Spicer, aged twenty-five,
also of Baltimore. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. Donald c. Macleod,
ID, in his study at the First Presbyterian
Church, John Marshall place.
The bride wore the usual dress of the
Quakers. She looked charming in her
drab suit and bonnet. No ring was used,
as 1t is against the rules of the Quakers
to wear jewelry of any kind.
The young woman left her home yester-
day morning ostensiblye to attend busl-
ness college, but instead met Mr.. Spicer,
who is connected with business nrm IN
Baltimore, and the young couple took the
train for Washington, after wiring DR..
Macleod that they would be at his study
at $50 o'clock. They waited until the last
minute before getting the license, SO that
the contemplated marriage would not be.
come known. The brides parents objected
to Ler marriage because Of the young
mans church connectl~a, it being the rule
of the Quakers not to marry outside Oh
their own sect.
The couple met about three years ago,
and the prini and pretty Quakeress cap
tured the young mans heart Many au-
the knowledge of the young lady's parents
but at last their woong became known
and yesterday the young woman was for
hidden to again speak with or meet the
young lover. The outcome was the elope-
ment.
They returned to Baltimore Immediately
after the ceremony and for the present
will make their home with Mr.. Spicer's
parents on Mount Royal avenue. After all
Is forgiven they well take an automobile
trip through the south.
This announcement will without. doubt
be surprising to the young couples friends,
as it was not known by any one but
themselves that they were engaged.
