VISITS ROOSEVELT
CONFERENCES xs HELD AT OYSTER
 tess HAY.
Situati0u in Central America Discussed ana .AttOEnoy-GsneraJ BonaDaFte Seeks Advice on Fu1iRg
 a Vacancy.

oyster Bay. July 1s.--A conference having. 1t Is believed, an important bearing on the serious situation exist ing in Central America, was held at Sagarnore Hill this afternoon.
 Those participating. besides Presi- dent Roosevelt. were the Mexican Am bassador to the United States, W. I. Buchanan, and Assistant Secretary of State Bacon. Tn ese three gentlemen reached oyster Bay shortly after noon It is believed th cir deliberations on the Central American situation occupied a considerable portion of the time.
 Ambassador Creel, Mir. Buchanan and Attorney Bonaparte, after lunch left sagamore Hill and took the 2:40 p. n. train for New York. Neither Mir. Creel nor Mir. Buchanan would admit that their visit to the President had any connection with the Central American situation.
 Ambassador Creel, when asked what he thought of the report from Mexico City at the United States and Mexico, or one of the countries alone, might establish q protectorats over Guate. mala, if President Cabrera confirmed his rule-or-ruin policy, said he did not believe such a thing would ever occur. The present method of maintaining peace in Central America. he said. had been working successfully for the past twelve months. and he believed it would continue to be success as long as the United States and Mexico were bound by treaty to see that the countries did not encroach on the rights of tn other.
 Attorney-General Bonaparte had nothing to say about his visit to the President. He was asked whether he would take the stump for Taft and re- piled that if hs were drafted to make speeches he though he would have to serve.
 One of the matters which President Roosevelt and Attorney General Bona parte discussed in their conference was the selection of a man to succeed Mil ton B. Purdy as Assistant Attorney General. MT. Purdy's recent appoint ment as Judge of the District Court of Minnesota left that post vacant. Wade H. Ellis. present Attorney General of Ohio, has been spoken of as the prob- able successor of Mir. Purdy.
 Secretary Loeb said after the con .sultation that no decision had been reach ed in the matter. MT. Bonaparte talked with the President on the nau- trality laws with Mexico. which he be- lieves should be revised and made strong recomm endations on the whis- key controversy resulting from the ope- ration of Government pure food laws. The President is seeking to have them rigidly enforced.
 The efforts of the Nebraska Republi- licans to induce President Roosevelt to go to Nebraska and make several speeches during the coming campaign will not be successful, according to Sec rstary Loeb. Today, when asked Nebraska, MT. Loeb reiterated what he said several days ago that MT. Roose- welt would make no campaign speech es this fall.

 Admitting that 1t Is quite graceful on MT. Rooseveles part to change fhe name Of a forest reservation to that or Grover Cleveland, yet the reason known emphasizes another of the pofrlta urged by democrats against the prevail : Ing system of republican false pretense. It IS brought out that the forest rasar- set aside twelve national forests. So the new navy was a Cleveland oreanira- ton and so was the initial interstate commerce law from whose extension recent party capital has been manufac- tured. Had 1t been enforced with inc partialty, the substituted notion of Roosevelt as a public servant rnieht never have been entertalned.

LYOn'S Good Work.

1t is a testimonial to the patriotism
and good sense of South Carolina Dem.
ocrats that j. Fraser Lyon will be re-
nominated for attorney general without
opposition.
While it is customary for an attorney
general to be given second term by
the people. Mr.. Lyon has had to per-
form so many unpleasant duties, and
has performed them with such unfinch-
ing courage and determination, that
opposition to his denomination would
have caused no surprise among his
friends. Had there appeared even the
slightest probability that he could be
defeated, some lawyer would have been
found to enter contest with him. But
the people of South Carolina know that
Mr.. Lyon has done for them incompar-
able service, and no sign did appear
that they were unappreciative of it. -

A most graphic and fascinating

years in that country. before the mem
bers of the Pastors union, in the Cen
trial Methodist church, Monday morn

Dressed in one OF the graceful cos
tunes of India, and speaking in the
first person, she gave story Of the
facts and conditions among the wo-
men of India as she had become fa-
miliar with them.
The lot of the girls and women OF
India is anything but an enviable one,
according to the picture presented by
Mrs. Burnell, only boys being thought
worth white. She said there is no
girlhood in India, outside the few
spots where there is christianity. Girls
often marry when nine years of age.
and from that until IL, to men often
A. to so years OF age, who have been
selected by the girls parents. There
are $4,000 widows In that country,
and Of that number there are 10000
little girl widows who do not know the
meaning of marriage.
"One of the aims of the Hindu wo-
man is to become mother-in.law be-
cause then she can reign supreme In
the home OF her son." said Mrs. Bur
nell. The poor widow is despised
and often takes her own life to es-
