President Promises to InveS-
tigate Alleged Dissertations
of the Sabbath Here.

President Roosevelt today promised a
committee representing the Woman S
Interdenominational Missionary Union
of the District to investigate various
matters which they said were democrat

Ireland. Mrs. Samuel KOOkOgey, and
Mrs John NJ CulbeTtsOn.
The committee handed the President d
communication in which il is pointed
out that a curfew law was necessary IN
the District. The need for this, It was
said, was shown by the fact that some
girls had been seen on the street nightly
skating until aiter 10 O'Clock. The dan
ger OF the barmaid system was referred
TO and the President was urged 10 as
sist IN obtaining regulations which
would make impossible the adoption Of
the English system of barmaids Pro
test also was made against selling
liquor DIT the Union Station.
The communication was cOnclJd, d
with an attack on what was said TO be
the dempraizinE influence OF the NOV
ing picture theateTS, which not only
showed pictures that should not be seen
by children. but which openly desecrated
The Sabbath
President Roosevelt promised the com
mIttee that he would send for the Dis
trict Commissioners this afternoon, and
discuss these matters with them.

Woman's Fear of Fresh Air.
Believes Exposure to 1t Would Kill Her and on That Account Travels
In Air Tight Case to Warmer Cline.

IncloSed In Il nearly air tight wooden
case, which has q glass front, Mrs.
William Tryon arrived at Salisbury, N.
c., in a baggage car from her home,
Fitchburg, Mass. Mrs. Tryon. middle
aged and wealthy, has suffered long
from nervous troubles and bronchitis.
She believes exposure to the air aggra-
vate her ills and has gone south to Il
warmer climate.
Mrs. Tryon's husband and a nurse
went with her. She arrived wrapped
in blankets and comforters. The per-
spiration was streaming from her, but
she stood the trip we'll and seemed
quite cheerful.
Her travelling case, which was built
after her designs, somewhat resembles
a roomy burial casket. 1t is comforta-
bly, upholstered and contains a clock
to mark times flight and books to be-
guile the time. The case containing
Mrs. Tryon, of course, was carried by
several husky porters from the bag

up. with care" a porter said. Nat
urally Mrs. Tryon attracted much at
tention, but only wondering remarks
were cast at her little glass house.
Still in her truly private compart-
ment, Mrs. Tryon was put on a wagon,
which hauled her around the city
while her husband, who is president of
the German Plaster company, sought
accommodations at many boarding
houses. The iandladies seemed to
think that Mrs. Tryon's presence
would not add to the gayety of the
other boarders and several refused to
admit her.
Mrs. Tryon will rent a cottage and
engage Il housekeeper most probably
just as little air will be admitted to
her bedroom as to her travelling case
She has lived a year in Il room to
which she has refused to admit n
fresh air for fear she would die. She
has complained of the cold even when
she was covered with blankets and
the open temperature was so degrees.

Wanted a Joyous Funeral.
Louisville Millionaire Had Made Provision For Good Things to Eat,
Wine and Music, Also a Concert, Which Was Given
While the Body Was Being Cremated.

Most peculiar of all Wills is that of
William f. Norton, millionaire, of
Louisville, which has been filed in
Kansas City.
1t was necessary to file the will in
Kansas City in order that the ex-
ecutors might properly administer that
part of the estate there.
Norton owned the Auditorium thea
ter in Louisville, besides many other
pieces Of valuable real estate. Because
the city authorities of Louisville did
not agree with him in his ideas of Il
wide open town he became dissatisfied
with the city where he lived so many
years and where he amassed a fortune.

HOMELESS JUDGE TAFT.
The Republican Presidential Nominee
Is Used to Being on the Move,

is Osea to Being on the Move.
Since he resigned his post as secre-
tary OF war and ave up his Washing
ton residence William H. Taft has
been, as he himself put it, "a candi-
date without a job. a man without a
home" The residence in the nations
capital which for some years past has
been pointed out as the homo of the

ing and we'll appointed house, but is
at all palatial. Judge Taft himself
is not a rich man, for he has been
serving his country since early man
hood in posts of responsibility and i'm
portance, the income from which was
little if any more than sufficient to
support the incumbent and his family
in a manner becoming their station.
The Tafts have always regarded Gin
cinnati as their home city, but it is a
long time since Judge Taft has kept
up an establishment of his own there.
1t is over eight years since he first
went to the Philippines, and Manila
was his headquarters for more than
four years thereafter. Even after he
became secretary of wal he was on
the jump from one part of the world
to another to settle problems con-
nected with the insular possessions of
the government or the Panama canal

Taft will maize their headquarters at

will be governed largely by the ex-
igencies of the campaign just as in the
past eight years they have been gov
erned chiefly by the interests of the
government as interpreted by the ad-
mi%nistration at Washington. Judge
Taft and his clever and accomplished
helpmeet have learned to take things

the keeper began to call to his wife,
who was in their home near by. The
roar of the tiger had created a pande-
monium among the animals. and as
Mrs. Gerson sank a pitchfork into the
tiger again and again the snarls and
wells from the cage redoubled.
The fight between the oma and
the ma cafe! lasted several minutes,
ending only when Mrs. Gerson direct
