The season for renting cottages for the summer
months is here. According TO real estate brokers
who make a speciality of finding conveniently To-
Gated and suitable houses for persons who spend
the warm months away from this city, the de
r1and for summer houses is already large, and
should a brief spell usher In the merry
month of May the best houses are likely to be
taken at early date. The asking prices for
furnished cottages at this time of the summer
renting IS slightly less than the figures
for the corresponding period last year. This change
tn prices is not due 10 a large increase in the
number OF rentable houses, but to the recent
financial depression which has made many own
ers doubly anxious TO rent their houses as early
possible. In order find quickly good tenants
for their properties these owners have made more
attractive rentals than for seasons. They
think that the midsummer renting period will be
dull. but the indications higher prices will be
paid then for commodious and modern summer
houses than now.
The number of districts which considered
summer cottage colonies within a short distance
OF this city is large. Long Island from Jamaica
10 Montauk Point, is not only entraffcng and
popular resort for summer bOarders, but is also

HOMES At HUNTINGTON
Opportunities for Country Homes
Worth Looking Into.

Just past oyster Bay and its sheltered waters
is Huntington rapidly being taken up by the most
desirable class Of land owners and tenants. Few
places along the north shore offer its advantages
not only to those who wish 70 buy an estate, but
to those who wish to rent country house. Those
who have taken advantage of it's opportunities
already are many, and the largest colony of New
York folk the picturesque old town has known is
expected to be here this summer Among those
who have spent the there in years past are

Those who content themselves with less

of their opportunities early they may get choice
locations at a moderate price, should take a trip

picked up. but they will last long once the ex-
pected boom is under way

cuse University Has Detained
President of United
States

BY Associated Press.
BRANDON, VT, March 7.-Rev.
George A. Cook. pastor of the Metho-
dist church of this town, who has
brought charges against Rev. DR..
James r. Day, chancellor of Syracuse
university. on the ground that the
chancellor has DETAINED the character
of President Roosevelt said today that
he would insist on public trial of the
charges.
Charges of this nature" said Mr..
Cook, SHOULD be aired in open court
and | shall not consent to any star
chamber hearings"
Mr.. Cook said his charges were in
five specifications, all based on ex-
tracts from Chancellor Days book,
"The Raid on Prosperity" and in these
extracts he claims Chancellor Day has
violated the rule of the Methodist
Episcopal church which forbids the
defamation of magistrates.
Mr. Cook said he was a stranger to
the New York conference, where the
charges will be tried. and he did not
know how favorable the clergy of that
conference would be toward him. He
said, however. that he was prepared to
support with proof each of his five
specifications of defamation on the
part of Chancellor Day.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The far
reaching character of the recent de-
ciSions of the supreme court of the
United States affecting labor organiza-
tons has led President Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor to issue
a call for a meeting of the executive
council of the federation in this city
in the early part of the week beginning
March IS.
The call expresses the hope that the
executive officers of the international
trade unions of America will meet with
the executive council on Wednesday,
March is, there and then to consult
and take such action as the importance
and merits Of the subject herein dealt
with may be considered and determined
as setting forth the position and de-
nands of labor"

be most advantageous if two or three of
the executive officers of each interna-
tional union were In attendance at the
conference and under any circum-
stances, that the international unions
shall be represented by at least one
executive officer aud one or two other
representatives whom that executive
officer shall select.

WI TING FANG SILENT
=. AS TO IMPENDING WAR


by Associated freSS.
WASHINGTON, March 7.--Wu Ting
Fang arrived in Washington tonight.
The minister arrived at the Union
station at about 2 o'clock and was met
by the Chinese legation staff and driven
to the legation, where he received the
representatives of the press.
After the subject of the seizure of
the Tatsu Maru had been brought up
a number of times. Minister WI finally
said that he had been travelling so long
that he knew little about the contro-
versy. but he did not believe the stu
alton to be as serious as It had been
represented in the press. He declared
his intention of awaiting definite in
formation from his government before
discussing the question.
AS of old, he was the interviewer,
particularly when the questions adj
dressed to him seemed to approach the
subject of the present trouble his coun-
try Is having with Japan over the
seizure of the Tatsu Maru on the charge
of smuggling into China for the sup
posed benefit of revolutionists. In fact,
he has changed very little. He ap-
peared to be Just as anxious to absorb
information and just as keen to raise
an issue with those who undertook to
satisfy his appetite for news.
There was one subject the minister
discussed willingly, and that was the
advancement that is being made in
China He said that If he had not
been there himself he could not con-
ceive of the progress that has been
made in the last decade, and especially
the last four or five years. The world
does not realize it, he said, and cannot
know that the nation is alert in truly
modern sense.
He thought his country would take
rank with the most powerful nations
within a short time.
These expressions were interspersed
among his questions. and were used
chiefly to circumvent the curiosity
shown by his questioners as to what
China is likely to do in regard to Jap
anese commercial aggression and the
demands of the latter government In
regard to the Tatsu Maru case.
Plainly the inference was that he ex-
poets his government to take firm
stand on all of these questions.
Minister WI said he would call on
Secretary Root at once with a view to
having his credentials presented to
President Roosevelt at an early date.
