VACATION NOW OVER
PRESIDENT LEAVES OYSTER BAY
FOR WASHINGTON.
He Returns to Capital in Excellent
Health and Fully Informed on
African Wild Game.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Sept. 22.-The-
odore Roosevelt's final summer vacation
during his present term of office as Pres
ident of the United States came to an
end this morning when, with his family
and members of the summer white house
executive staff, he departed amid cheers
from a throng of residents for the white
house at Washington. At the same
time Oyster Bay ceased to be the sum-
mer capital of the United States, a title
it proudly has held for seven years.
In several respects this has been an
exceptional vacation for the President.
He has entertained at Sycamore Hill
more visitors than before and at the
same time has done much more work
than on previous vacations The politi-
cal situation. both national and state,
have made a tremendous amount of
work for him and kept the staff of the
executive offices busy day and night.
Mr.. Roosevelt returns to Washington
in splendid health and much benefited
by his vacation. He has spent much
time in reading and has informed him
self from books regarding that part of
Africa which he is to visit on his hunt
ing trip next year. He has read up"
on the habits of the animals there, and
has been perfecting his plans, selecting
parts of his outfit and getting as nearly
ready as possible for his big hunt.

PRAY BILL WILL PASS.
Anti-Saloon Forces Hold Strange Lobby
During Session of Indiana
Legislature.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. %
One thousand temperance workers Of
Indiana yesterday assembled in the cor
ridors of the statehouse and prayed for
the passage of county local option bill.
The demonstration was arranged by the
Anti-Saloon league and those present in
Guided ministers, Sunday school teachers
and many women.
The meeting in the rotunda of the cap
itol was spectacular. All the workers
present wore piece of white ribbon
pinned on the lapel of his coat and on
this was printed in large letters, I'VE
want county local option
What the workers accomplished, If
anything, did not become apparent, as
the session in the House passed away
without any reference to local option,
but in the Senate the Anti-Saloon
leagues bill was passed to the second
reading.

CEREMONY IS LACKING.
Foreigners in Idaho Have Secured Mar
rage Licenses and Then go to
Housekeeping"

WALLACE, Ida, Sept. 22.-Investi
CATION by the county recorders depart
ment of Shoshone county has brought to
light an extraordinary condition of af
fairs with regard to the issuance of mar
riage licenses. For months the depart
ment has been puzzled at the non-return
of marriage licenses, issued to Finland
ers, Poles and others of foreign nation
atty, of whom there are many employed
in the mines. Accidentally it was dis
covered that for years foreigners We're
under the impression that all that was
necessary to consummate a marriage was
simply the taking out of license ami
no minister of the gospel or justice of
the peace was employed to perform the
ceremony. In one case marriage
license was found framed in a cabin
just as issued by the county recorder
years ago, and a family of seven chill
dren had been raised.

OHIO SENATOR CANCELS TALKING
DATES ARRANGED BY NATIONAL
COMMITTEE.
MAKES HIS OWN CAMPAIGN.
He Will Canvass State for Reelection,
but Will Not Embarrass Presi-
Dental Nominee.
WILL WORK FOR REPUBLICANS,

CINCINNATI, O., Sept. 21.-Ofcial-
ly withdrawing from all speaking en-
gagements in the national and state cam
paigns, United States Senator Joseph B.
Foraker has announced that he will pub
licly answer the charges made by w. K.
Hearst and will make personal tour
of the state in behalf of his own re-
election.
In written request to National
Chairman Frank II. Hitchcock, Senator
Foraker asked to be relieved from the
appointments which had been arranged
for him by the national speakers bu-
reau, and in a communication to State
Chairman Williams of the Ohio Repub-
ican committee he made the same re-
quest as to the engagements which had
been arranged for him in this state.
AS to Senator Foraker's senatorial
candidacy, his position is made plain III
the following announcement:
Senator Foraker will leave the selec-
ton of his successor to the Legislature,
but will do all in his power to see that
Republican Legislature is elected.
Throughout the negotiations, Judge
Taft refused absolutely to comment for
publication on the matter. 1t has since
developed that he had at once taken the
position that the joint engagement must
be Cancelled. 1t also has developed that
the candidate received insistant advice to
take the initiative in the matter of can
ceiling the arrangements and that his re-
ply was emphatic in this language:
IF it would win me every vote in the
United States, l cannot hit man when
he is down"

BIG VESSEL DISABLED
Steamer Mauritania Loses Propeller AMI
Passengers Have Exciting Tnp
in the Storm.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-PassengB
on the liner Mauretania, the largest ship
afioat, had a terrifying experience in
midocean last Thursday, when, through
an accident to one of the prOpelG
shafts and propellers, the vessel bobbei
up and down for nearly five minutes like
a springiess wagon on a corduroy road
The corridors and gangwayS were
filed with terrified women, many oil
them in scanty attire. One woman ra
through the main saloon attired only III
a chemise and a feather boa.
Fourteen fremen, at work in the coal
bunkers, were buried under piles of Goa,
precipitated upon them by the vertical
jarring OF the ship. One of them sHs
tanned a broken arm, another a broker
leg, and the scalp of still another was
so lacerated as to require twenty-five
stitches.
There was a terrific gale blowing
the time of the accident-the same hur1-
cane all the ships crossing the AtIanG
this week encountered. The big Ye%
slashed around on the waves for half @
hour, and when the engines started asaa

IN MATRIMONIAL GAME,
Young Minnesota Woman Is Arrested on
Charge of Using Mails to
Defraud.

FRESNO, Cal, Sept. 21.-The arrest
of Mrs Margaret Valdez, a young wom-
an who recently came from Minnesota,
on a charge of using the mails to de-
fraud. is said to be due to the alleged
conducting of a matrimonial agency
with herself as the sole female client
and attraction. Mrs. Valdez is said to
have obtained money from various cor
respondents of domestic tendencies who
wished her to join them in various parts
of the country. Her arrest, it is said
followed the investigation of complaint
made by S. r. Johnson, Jr., of Guthrie
Ok, who. it is said, had arranged to
marry Mrs Valdez and purchase for
her an $4,000 ranch as a guaranty of
his sincerity Mrs. Valdez is said to
have left a husband and child in Min
nesota.

FLEET MAY NOT
STOP At MANILA
VISIT OF SAILORS ALL DEPENDS
UPON CHOLERA BEING WIPED
OUT.
BATTLING AGAINST PLAGUE.
Authorities Are Using Every Means to
Stamp Out Disease and Are Look
ing for Success.
SPRINKLE WITH FIRE ENGINES.

MANILA, Sept. 22.-The vigorous
campaign for the eradication of cholera
is believed to be preventing any appreci-
able increase in the spread of the disease.
There is an average of about fifty new
cases daily, although today promises to
show a record materially lower. In Oil
cal circles it is maintained that there is
still a possibility that the city may be
ridded of the cholera before the arrival
OF the American battleship fleet.
Disinfect All Places.
The campaign instituted by the au
thorlties against the plague proceeds
with increasing vigor. Although the
Eilipinos continue to conceal stricken pa
house to house inspection now in prog
ress is disclosing practically all the
cases. -Four chemical engines and a
dozen big street sprinklers are being
used with good effect in a general disin-
fecting of all tainted sections.
Many persons have heroically volun-
teered their services as nurses or in
spectors. A number of firms have of
fered to fit up temporary hospitals for
the accommodation of patients and a
ward of the Mary Johnson Memorial
hospital is being prepared for the recep-
ton of cholera victims. The Roman
Catholic authorities have offered the use
Of large convent within the walled city
for the same purpose.
Fleet May Not Stop.
The prospect of interference with the
festivities arranged in honor of the
fleets visit, or postponement of its ar
rival, has stirred the popular interest
immensely. While it is held that there
is no danger of serious epidemic and
that the situation is not grave, it is still
feared that Rear Admiral Sperry will
refuse to permit the men to land if even
a few cases of cholera remain.

WRECKED AIRSHIP.
Fall in Aeroplane Is Told by Orville
Wright.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 21.-
Lying on a hard bed, his leg in splints
and hung from the ceiling in a support
which pulls on it, Orville Wright de-
scribed the accident in which Lieut.
Selfridge was killed, Wright's leg and
some ribs broken and his life endan-
gered and the aeroplane with which he
had been daily breaking records crushed
into a shapeless mass.
Weak from pain and loss of sleep, Mr..
Wright's words were few and long
pauses separated his short sentences
But the indomitable courage of the man
shone through everything he sald-hls
quiet dignity was never more IN evil
dence and his nerve did not fail HIM IN
going over the accident which held so
much of pain for him, mentally as well
as physically.
81 know how it happened-from Ger
tain point. know that the, propeller
struck wire guy. 1t was the guy 20
the rudder support rod. But | don't
know how the wire got to the propeller.
We tried those propellers in the house.
They did not hit anything.
Somehow that propeller and that wire
came together. The propeller hit the
wire twice-lightly-t hard. l heard
it. I didn't know what was happening.
linen we COnmeLC6u W SPIN dIOuhu
That was the unbroken propeller urging
us onward. I cut off the motor-pulled
the cortland we lost Roadway. The
rudder was out Of commission. 1t must
have swung to one side-useless-as soon
as the wire got loose from the tail. We
can't stay up without Roadway. | heard
Selfridge say: oh, OH! like that. That's
all he said. | expected to right the ma
chine. 1t was falling edgewise. The
only way to get Roadway was to fall.
We didn't fall far enough. It started TO
right, twenty feet more and it would
have righted. We didn't have the TWEEN
ty feet.
cit seemed a long time-we fell very
fast. Everything seemed to hit me at
once. | didn't lose consciousness l think
but | was dazed and things seemed
dark. I could hear what was said. l
could see Selfridge, he seemed to be on
all tours and was moaning.
But it's all over; it can't be helped.
Nothing makes much difference except
Selfridge, poor Selfridge.
Il have not been strong enough to
think about any plans yet" he added.
Wilbur has had messages from here.
He knows just what the trouble was
and he won't have it. 1t is hard for him
wanting to be here and having to be
there. But it wouldn't take long to
have another machine here-we have
them all built-they can be ready in a
few days. I had a very nice letter
from Secretary of War Wright"
A pause, then:

CHOLERA GRIPS RUSSIA
OVER $50 DIE IN ONE DAY IN
CARS DOMAIN.
Plague Rapidly Spreading and Many
Restaurants Are Closed in
Capital.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 21.-The
cholera is increasing rapidly day by day
in st. Petersburg. The efforts of the
authorities in stopping the sale of liquor
between Saturday and Monday and the
other preventative measures taken have
had but little if any effect in checking
the spread of the epidemic.
Between noon of Sunday and noon of
today the principal hospitals reported
$50 cases and 155 deaths, and the addi-
ton of the statistics from the military
and suburban hospitals for this same pc
riod of time will swell this total to truly
formidable proportions. There are thir-
ty-four cases of policemen alone in the
Seminoffsky military hospitals
Dispatches received here from these
provinces report 4S8 new cases and POI
deaths in twenty-four hours, Rostov-on-
the-Don furnishing 1872 cases and 80
deaths.
The police of st. Petersburg today
summarily closed several restaurants
that had violated the order against the
sale of spirits and seized the stocks of
some unlicensed dealers.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 21.-
With cholera increasing botn in the
Philippines and in Russia the govern
ment authorities here are watching the
situation abroad with great interest. Ex-
traordinary measures have been taken
with view of suppressing the outbreak
in the Philippines as far as possible and
to prevent the spread of the cholera out
of the Russian ports from which i'm
migrants leave for this country.
Governor General Smith, in dispatch
to the insular bureau, says that up to
o'clock this afternoon there were thirty
five cases in Manila and that cold rains
today may result in more cases.

tons that little expense will be involved
This is held to be IN accordance with the
evident intention of Congress in passing
laws providing rewards for the capture
of deserters. The purpose of offering
such a reward is to encourage civilians
in the apprehension of deserters when
ever possible and in order to carry out
the intention of Congress it is considered
that every effort should be made to pay
the rewards in liberal rather than
niggardly spirit The regulations have
been amended with this object in view.
as it is seen by war department Off
Gals that unless the reward is liberal
there is little likelihood Of civilians MAX
ing any effort to apprehend deserters.
