ROOSEVELT
 FOR HUGHES Desires to Be Publicly
 Known. A POLITICAL CONFERENCE New York Repubs Gather at Saga
 moro Hill. President RSosevcIt Declares That It Is Absolutely Necessary For the Re- publican Party to Henominate
 Hughes.

Oyster Bay, N. Y.. Sept. 1s--saga- more Hill today was the scene of an- other political conference, the subject of which was the gubernatoriai nom nation of the Republican Party in New York State and President Roose- welt again made known, in words that could not be mistaken, his attitude on the nomination of Charles E. Hughes for Governor.
 The President told those who came to confer with him on the New fork situation that it was absolutely neces- sary that the Republican Party should renominate Gov Hughes at the com ing State convention, but at the same time said he had no intention of at- tempting to dictate what action the convention shall take in the matter.
 It was to William L. Ward. of Vest chester county. Republican National Committeeman of New York to others interested in the matter that he told hearers to make known his words to the newspaper representatives here. MT. Ward Is l<Rnwn to be one of the hardest workers against the. renomi- nation of Gov. Hughes, and Is Is be- Iieved that he came here today for the purpose of influencing the Presi- dent in behalf of the antf-Hughes workers. The National Committeeman's mission evidently was decidedly un- successful for when the Presidents other visitors returned to the railway station late In the afternoon, they re- ferred all interviewers to Siias Me- Bee, editor of The Churchman, who they said had been authorized to speak for the President. To his question: CTS, Mir. Mc8ee said:
 T heard the President say to cer- tain Republican leaders who were present at the conference at Saga more Hill today:
 @I have no intention of trying 10 dictate the action Of the Republican convention. I am a citizen of the istate Of New York and am therefore entitled to express my judgment on such an iasue as the nomination for lAevernor. My judgment is that 1t is absolutely necessary to renominate Mir Hughes."
 Mir. McBee was asked whether the Secretary of the Treasury, George B. CorfeIyou. was present, and said he did not think he was, the Secretary having nnished his business with the President and departed before the con- ference. Just who else participated in the political conference could not be ascertained. It is thought probable who had been announced by the Presi- dents Secretary may have come up from New York on the yacht which which brought MT. Ward.
 The only other announced visitor who might be interested in the New York situation was George T. Putnam. of New York City. head of the pub fishing firm, but he had had nothing to say.

Red Tape in France.

Paris Corr. OF the London Standard
NJ. Jean Contornet is a day laborer who.
a few weeks ago Travelled into Paris from
an eastern suburb by the electric tramcar
which runs between lie Ra1ney and the
Opera. He quarreled with the conductor
over some point or other, and paid him a
haifpenny less than he was asked for.
He was forthwith led away to the police
station, where note was duly taken Of
what he had done. For a day or two
M. Contornet rejoinced at the thought
that he had made a discovery: that every
visit to the police station does not mean q
subsequent visit to the police court. Alas
at the same time the storm was brewing
very slowly. but not very surely. The
police magistrates note of NJ. COntornet's
offense was sent to the tramway company.
1t needed another magistrates signature;
it was sent to a justice of the peace, who
sent 1t to the registry office of the dis
trict and in q day or two the company
had It back An action was now allow
able: the paper was sent to the prefecture
of the police. from where 1t was sent to
the local examining magistrate. The
magistrate sent it TO the local police sta
ton asking the inspector to interrogate
the offender and to supply Information as
to his antecedents. The police inspector
fulfilled his duty and forwarded report
to the public prosecutor. The public pros
ecutor and the magistrate then put their
heads together. and being more than half
convinced concerning the merits of the
case. the magistrate signed summons.
So IL was that the happiness Of Nj. Con-
tornet was cut short by the arrival Of q
piece of blae paper, on which appeared a
demand that he should ''show cause why
he should not pay the sum of one half
penny" etc. Naturally. for the summons
10 be served the paper had to pass once
again into the hands of the police in
spector Whether it was a sense of JUS
tice. repentance or exorbitant generosity,
NJ. Contornet decided to pay the half
penny. and SO set OF one morning to the
tramway company's office. He came back
with a receipt.

JUST A SUGGESTION Courier Reader Offers Some thing New on Women on
 Trolley Problem. HIDE TEMPTING HANDLE Using One on Seat Ahead Noulu Compel Women to Allght
 Facing Front.

To the Editor of the Journal-GourioE,
 After reading the communication of N A. T. in the other mornings issue of your paper wherein he advocates the running of trolley cars on the left hand track have concluded that he takes the matter seriously and really thinks 1t feasible, but hope that he Is the only one that thinks seriously that such change would be a benefit to the travelling public or in fact to any one else
 If the matter was referred to the trolley people they could no doubt give hundred good reasons why such a change should not be made.
 For the benefit of x. A. T. l will say that such change is too radical and would cause no end of confu- sion
 In the first place our streets are too narrow for wide and heavy trucks to pass between the curb and trolley cars, which would neccssitatc the stopping of cars, teams and autos, and driving the traffic over on the wrong side of the street In violation of the road law" passed by tho general as- sembly In 1905. and there would be no end of delays accidents and law suits.
 Your correspondent refers to two recent accidents which he claims could not have happened if the cars had been operated on the left hanl track, as the parties would have heen facing the way the cars were going,
 Now there has been considerable talk about persons getting of the cars by using their right hand many theories have been advanced to show why they do so. but if any one will take the trouble to ride few trips on a single track road where the pass engers get off either side of the cars" he will observe that the very persons that use their right hand to help themselves off the right side of the car, will use their left hand in getting off the left side of the car. even if they have to shift their bundles to free their left hand"
 I consider the trouble all lies in the CoHstTuVtioH ol thc Vai' as tH' HdHuit at the end of the seat one Is sitting on is the most convenient to take hold of when allghtlng. and if this was 7 covered by a guard which. If neces- sary. could be arranged to move auto matically with the car seat. SO that the forward handle would be tho only one visible, 1t would be more conven- tent to use the left hand in getting off the car, and the person would be fac- ing the direction the car was moving
