Gov. Page and Congressman Foster.

and be has made mark IN public life
which iustiaes his ambition. On the
other hand, il was Governor Page who
appointed Red6eId Proctor Senator 10
succeed Mr.. Edmunds and thus made
possible his brilliant career in the
National field. As between man and

how far IL at all the latter may conflict
with the former, is one OF the things

Mr. Seymour returned to New York this morning.
 Mrs Taylor declined to see roport- CTS today declaring that she had nothing to say. The hotel people vouchsafcd the Information that shc seemed in unusually good health and that she was keeping to her apast- ments
 It is impossible to learn whether or not MT Taylor intends to fight the ap- plication for an injunction.
 Although none of the parties in the cases will authorize the statement 1t is understood that Mrs Taylor's prcs- ent immunity from commitment uu- der the original action in the local probate court Is due to mutual agrse- ment When Mrs Taylor went to New York she passed out of the iurls- diction of the state By returning she once again comes under It's authority. However the lawyers are said to ha ye agreed to permit the settlement of the injunction first
 It was pointed out to-day that if any attempt should be made to seclre Mrs, Tayor's commitment under the probate court order Mr. Seymour could easily Insist upon an immediate hearing on tho injunction taking pro- ceedngs in habeas corpus to assure Mrs. Taylor's liberty.
