H. A. Taylor Says PreSi-

President Roosevelt IS one Of the most

years he spent touring nearly every

which maintain close relations with this
country. We found. however, that the

ed more or less with Mr.. ROOsevelt's
chara cter.
"Of course, some Of the stories pub
lished about him in the foreign press
were distorted, just as they are here at
times. but on the whole there seemed
to be a pretty thorough knowledge OF

entertained extensively in every country

JUSTICE WRIGHT
LOSES SECRETARY
Cupid Plays Tricks at City
Hall-Student to Succeed
Fair TypiSt.

Miss Alice o. Gardiner. private seere-
tary to Justice Wright, closed her desk
at the City Hall Friday for the last
time. IF she ever returns It will be as
the wife Of a rich man, ard it won't be
to click the typewriter for Justice
Wright.
John o. Evans, manager for and heir
TO the Evans estate, valued at over a
quarter Of a million, took out a license
for his marriage to Miss Gardiner yes
terday. The ceremony is to be quietly
performed and viii be followed by a
honeymoon trip
Miss Gardiner, who lives at 1910 Flor
ida avenue. IS said to have had some
of the deciding visits of her future
husband in the office Of Justice Wright.
And it IS said, too, that much business
with the City Hall and Justice Wright
that might have been done through an
attorney called Mr. Evans down there
And, Of course. sometimes, he saw Miss
Gardiner.
At any rate the cOurtship progressed.
and the young woman at the typewriter
whirled through the last document for
the justice and left the City Hall 20
become a bride.
Mr.. Evans made his home at the Bur
lingtOn, where for some time the opera
tor on the switchboard has known that
Dan Cupid was busy on the line be-
tween the fashionable apartment house
and the dusty. musty, old hall of
justice.
Justice Wright is discouraged. He
doesn't complain at losing such an eX-
cellent secretary when good fortune be-
falls her. But. nevertheless, he has an
nounced that a student in one Of his
law classes will be Miss Gardeners sue
cessor. 1t is an apparent fact that a
law student isn't likely TO get married
for some years. not unless the law
business looks UP. And, too, there
aren't young women about to bother a
law student at the City Hall.
