TRENTON, March 24.-Secretary OF
war William IL. Taft and Baron
Kogoro Takahira, Ambassador from
Japan were guests of the New Jersey
Legislature and of the Trenton
Chamber of Commerce last night.
II was an important day politically
for Taft in New Jersey. Throughout
the two events the Var Secretary had
al his side Governor John Franklin
Fort. who is most likely of all candi-
dates so far mentioned to be named
by the Republican national convention
for Vice-President OF a ticket headed
by the big Ohioan.
An outward semblanee of non
partisan ceremony was preserved III

The New Jersey delegation to thu
national convention may so to Chicago

Secretary Taft struck right from th'
shoulder in his speeches. The evening
session of the Legislature was con

AN AWFUL JAW|NG
GIVEN LAWYER BY
ENRAGED WIDOW
Angry at Courts Decision, She
Calls Douglass All Sorts
of Names.
RIVAL FACTIONS IN WILL

Mrs. Dennis, Hopping Mad at

Makes a Scene.

"Liari thief! swindleri!! skin!!!!"
were the cries that startled the circum-
ambient air of the Orphans Court to-
day, Immediately after Advisory Mas
ter Charles r. Kocher had left the
bench and had retired to his rooms en
the second floor below.
He had just decided that the not very
merry widow of Charles B.. Dennis, a
negro undertaken, who attacked his
will, had no right to do so. AS soon as
the decision was announced the crowd
of negroes that had focked to the
COURTROOM and had been divided into
such hostile camps during the hearing,
gathered around the lawyers in charge
of the case and either congratulated
or condemned, according to their views.
One of these lawyers, the n who
defended Mrs. Nancy Hamilton, who
was made sole legatee, to the detriment
of the widow, was George A. Douglass,
and it was he who was compelled to
stand the brunt of the odium heaped
upon him by the widow faction. In
fact, it was the widow herself. who
gathering together her nearly six foot
of self, shook her angry, though kid
gloved fists at the lawyer, and shouted
the uncomplimentary epithets quoted
that reverberated through the gloomy
corridors Of the Court House.
whats more" she yelled, you amt
treated me right"
"But, madam" expostulated Mr..
Douglass, as the widow and her clan
grew more menacing, 81 only did my
duty as a lawyer. I defended Mrs.
Hamilton. The judge said | had a
good case and / won out"
The widows wrath was also turned
upon the witnesses for Mrs. Nancy
Hamilton, and they quailed beneath
it until a couple of constables directed
the whole party to clear out.
Fine justice this when a poor lone
widow can't get her rights" muttered
Mrs. Dennis as she departed in COM
pany with Alfred b. Cosey, her lawyer.
The widow had made the attack on
the will on the ground hat Mrs. Nancy
Hamilton, who is nearly white, while
She herself is very black. had unduly
influenced her departed spouse. she
also swore at the trial that, like the
gondolier in Gilbert and Sulhvan's
opera, "a taste for drink. combined
with govt, had doubled him up for
ever" n hence he lacked Testament
tary capacity.
A curious phase of the noisy contest
is that the debts of the estate exceed
the assets.

Mrs. Ynez Shorb White society lead
er and personal friend of Mrs. Eleanor
Martin smiled when told that to smoke
or not to smoke was literally the burn
ing question of the hour; not only the
dinner hour at Tait's but the hours
when softly shaded candelabra glow
above damask and cut glass in richly
furnished homes throughout the ma
rine-yew district. Nor would she re-
veal the smOke-tinted secrets of pink
luncheons or daffodil teas, when men
are not, but cigarettes are. Mrs. White
is loyal to her boudoir and drawing
room associates. She said:
81 do not smoke. One reason is | do
not care to. The other reason is nei-
Their my father nor my husband would
have approved my doing so.
AS to the practice of smoking In
public cafes in San Francisco, it is
probably only matter of a little time
when society women already devotees
of the weed will follow the example
said to have been set by Mrs Oelrichs
and Mrs. McCreery. 1t is true that
cigarette smoking is, gradually in
friends-women of highest standing
and for whom | have great respect
smoke cigarettes at dinner in their
home. 1t is their business, not mine,
and to censure them would be imperti-
nence on my part.
Il think that women should act ac-
cording to their husbands brothers or
fathers, wishes in the matter of smok-
ing, and that young girls should posi-
lively refrain"
From this side inquiry was trans
ferred to Oakland.
Mrs. Cora E. Jones, president of the
Oakland Club, said:
Il most certainly do not approve of
women smoking in public. For that
matter l have no use for a woman
that will smoke either in public or
private
Smoking is demoralizing, l think,
to women. | am sorry to learn that
San Francisco society women have
placed their stamp of approval on such
a custom. Women should set better
example.
Il am glad to say that no Oakland
Club woman smokes cigarettes, nor
any society woman in Oakland as far
as l know. It is a fad which | can
never approve"

Roosevelt's letter fixing February /,

1t says the Cuban problem is reduc-

one of personal relations between Gu

GOVERNOR HUGHES
To HIS PARTY
HOW HE FIRST GAVE INTIMATION
THAT HE INTENDED TO BE CAN
DIDATE FOR PRESIDENT.

ALBANY, n. Y, January 21.-Gov-
ernor Hughes tonight publicly declar-
ed his attitude toward the movement
in favor of his nomination for the
Presidency in a letter to James S. Leh-
mair of New York acknowledging the
notification of the resolution of in.
dorsement recently passed by the Re-
publican Club, and appointed the eve
ening of Friday of next week for a
meeting with the club, at which he in.
Inmates he will still more definitely
declare himself.
81 am deeply sensible of the honor
conferred upon me" says the Cover
nor" by my fellow-members of the
Republican Club in the passage of the
resolution to which you refer, and it
will give me pleasure to accept the in
vttation In accepting it, it is proper
for me to restate my position.
1T is my desire that the sentiment
of the party shall have the freest eX
preston and that such action shall be
taken as will be for it's best interests.
| do not seek Office, nor shall | attempt
| to influence the selection or vote of
any delegate. The State administra-
! ton must continue to be impartial and
must not be tributary to any candi-
| dacy.
Il have no interest in any fractional
controversy and desire above all things
that there shall be deliberation, honest
expression of the party will and har-
mony of effort
II cannot fail to recognize the great
honor which the nomination would
confer or the obligation of service
which it would impose. Nor should
care to be thought lacking in appre-
| citation of the confidence and esteem
which prompt the efforts of those who
sincerely desire to bring it about. The
matter is one for the party to decide,
and whatever its decision | shall be
content.
Il shall be glad to meet with the
members of the club as you suggest,
and to make such further statement as
may be appropriate In view of the
see how it will be possible to have
such a meeting before the evening of
January 31st. And if that date suits
your convenience, arrangements for
the meeting may be made according
ly."
The letter of Lehmaier. to which the
Governor replies as above, is as fol-
lows:
AT recent meeting of the Repub-
lican Club of the city of New York,
very largely attended, a resolution was
adopted with practical unanimity,
strongly urging the next Republican
National Convention to nominate you
for the office of President of the Unit
ed States, and to that end inviting the
cooperation of Republicans generally.
THE club has appointed a commit
tee of twenty-five to carry out the
purpose of the resolution.
The committee has entered upon
the duties assigned to it and its eff
forts have met with a most gratifying
public response.
Under the circumstances it has
seemed to us that some expression
from you would be timely.
AS chairman of this committee and
in the hope that this suggestion may
meet with your approval, I write to
inquire whether you will meet your
fellow members of the Republican
Club at its clubhouse at such time as
may suit your convenience"
