ETHEL ROOSEVELT Is IL.
Presidents Daughter Recipient OF
Many Beautiful Gifts.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Aug. 1O.-Mlss
Ethel Roosevelt, the presidents only
unmarried daughter, is today receiv-
ing the congratulations of hundreds
upon the occasion of her seventeenth
birthday. Scores of beautiful presents
were received by the young lady of the
White House, not only from relatives,
friends and schoolmates, but from ad-
mirers in all parts of the country.
At the age of II, the Princess
Ethel" has become a strikingly charm
ing and beautiful young woman, and
her intellectual attainments are above
the average In many of her personal
characteristics she resembles her ia
nous father. She will not actively en-
ter society for several years yet, al
though she will likely take part In
several functions this winter, owing
to the fact that the coming season will
be the last her father will spend In

Baths Becoming Popular

July was the best month the Y. NJ
c. a. has had, in that the members
have had more use Of the privileges
of the association than in any month
since he building has been opend, said
Secretary Robert Carey this morning.
'Financially the month was no bet
ter than many we have had, but it was
record breaker as far as the use of
the building, gymnasium and baths
were concerned. We have had many
more members in the building during
the 81 days of last month than in any
like period since the building was
opened. 1t is a fact that speaks well
for the work here and one that we are
glad to see.
1T was due I suppose to two rea-
sons. The first is that last month
was hot one and the baths We're
freely used and there was scarcely a
time during the month that there was
not some one in the twimming pool.
Then too. the natural growth of the
and the more thorough un-
of it's work and purposes

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. Aug. 10
Hopelessly divided the republicans of
Tennessee will hold two state conven-
tions this week, that Of the Brownlow-
Austin faction meeting in this city to-
day. while the Evans-Hale faction will
foregather at Nashville on Wednesday.
At today's convention the insurgents
will nominate a candidate for COVER
nor and other offices. A stormy session
may develop. The delegates declare
that their organization is entirely reg
ular. Taft and Sherman are indorsed
T. A. Wright is mentioned prominently
as the gubernatorial nominee.
The Evans faction, which will meet
two days hence, claims to be the regu-
lar organization. 1t is led by H. Clay
Evans, former congressman. United
States commissioner of pensions and
United States consul general at Lon
don. Evans was elected governor OF
Tennessee in 1894 on the face of the
returns. but a recount was favorable
to Tumey. his democratic opponent.

BOSTON, Aug. 1O-Union printers
from every state and from Canada,
England, Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines are the guests of Boston
today, the assemblage marking the
opening of the fifty-fourth convention
of the International Typographical
union. For the first time the London
Society of Printers has sent a dele
gate to confer with the printers on this
side of the ocean, giving the meeting
more of an international character than
it has ever had. Boston Typographical
union, one of the first organizations of
printers, will celebrate it's sixtieth an
niversary during the week. All of the
sessions will be held in Ford hall.
Following the formal opening of the
convention today and the transaction
of preliminary business, adjournment

a harbor and bay excursion. Tomorrow
will be exdelegates day and will be
marked by trolley trip to Lexington
and Concord over the Paul Revere
route Many other entertainments will
be held, under the direction of Boston
union No. 13. The local union, despite
IS hoodoo number has had a highly
successful career and is now in the
best of condition. The local has pre-
pared an elaborate souvenir booklet Of
$50 pages for distribution among the
delegates
The International Stereotypers and
Electrotypers' union will also hold it's
convention here during the week, as
will the ladies auxiliary of the Inter
national Typographical union. 1t is ex-

Voters Taking
Little Interest

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug 10.-To those
who keep in touch with politics and
political work, it is rather amusing to
hear the boasts made in the interests
of this or that candidate that he "al-
ready has fifty per cent of the vote
lined up" Scarcely so per cent of the
voters have as yet made up their minds
as to who they will vote for. This
statement can be verified by anyone
who will make inquiries even among
his friends.
Speaking of the lack of knowledge
about candidates for office story
was told the other day of an expert
ence had by a prominent politician
who is supporting one of the leading
for governor This man
went out to raise some Campaign funds
for his candidate, and approached two
of the best-known men in Seattle.
Neither one Of these two men knew
that the candidate they were requested
to help was in the field. and yet they
readily helped along his campaign
fund. Another instance: A travelling
salesman who takes the usual interest
in public questions, as recently as last
week only knew of two candidates for
governor on the republican primary
ticket. This man knew nothing about
the Socond choice nrOy;ciop of fbo low
and could not name candidate for
either attorney general state treasurer
or insurance commissioner.

Luthear League Meeting.

ERIE, Pa, Aug. 1O.-Large delega-
tions from Philadelphia, Pittsburg and
other cities and delegates from all of
the smaller branches are in attend
ance today at the annual Pennsylvania
Luther League convention.
These societies hold the same place
in the Evangelical Lutheran church as
the Christian Endeavor and EpwOrth
league organizations Of other Protest
ant churches. Many of the members
were formerly identified with the
Christian Endeavor movement. The
convention which is the fifteenth OF its
kind to be held, will, according to the
present outlook, be the largest and
most powerful since the formation OF
the league.

The minimum sentence being two
years, Judge Wolverton imposed this
Imprisonment, saying that it would not
be practical to fine Schmidt, as it
was evident that he could not pay any
money. In case he had been fined he
could have taken the pauper's oath
and been out in 80 days time.

the next few months.
Schmidt admits his guilt. He at
tributes his downfall to an accomplice
who taught him the trick of raising
money orders. He says that he never
committed any other offense.
Asked by the court if he were able
to pay fine, Schmidt stood up and
said that he was not.

in the United States district court this
morning and was ordered back to the
prison again to serve another sentence

made it his custom to victimize the sa-

they began to know him. Then some
Saturday night he would present the
money order.
ID. j. Haynes, an attorney, appealed
to the court for clemency on the
ground that Schmidt was going blind;
that he had served 20 months at Nc
Neirs island and seven months pre-
vlous to that in Jail in Seattle.
