Mr.. Phillips, the lucky man, is per-
soma grata with the family of his in
tended bride. He is one of the young
est men who ever held a position of
such responsibility. He belongs to
one of the Oldest families CT Massa-
chusetts, family which has figured
in the history of the state and country
since the earliest times. He was ap-
pointed third assistant secretary of
state Dec. 8, 1906.
Washington society leaders set a
high value on the distinction of being
white house bride: They are now
specializing whether Miss Roosevelt
will wait until 1918 in hope that her
father will be returned to the presi-
dents chair or will be married to Mr..
Phillips before that time. In hand

Dame Rumor Says Ethel Is Betrothed

MISS ETHEL ROOSEVELT, daugh-
1v1 tor of ex-President Roosevelt, who
but recently made her debut, is about
to become engaged to William Phil
lips, the young third assistant secre-
tary of state, according to report. So
definite is the information from Miss
Roosevelt's friends concerning the
state Of her affections that guesses
are now being made as to whether the
ex-president's popular daughter will
follow the dictates of her heart soon
or will wait four years upon the
chance of becoming white house
bride.
While no announcement has been
made of the engagement, it is under
stood that there Is a cordial under

overtaxed his capacity and was sore

was undated. Leaving the party and

ventriloquist's Good Joke,

small negro boy was going along
the street carrying a turtle by the
tail. when a ventriloQuist standing
near seemed to make it say: Where
is you-all goin' with me?" The little
negro heard the question, and looked
around with establishment, but not be-
ing entirely satisfied as to where the
voice came from, walked on. Again
the ventriloquist said: Il say, where
is you-all takin' me?" This time the
boy was satisfied that the turtle had
been gifted with a miraculous power
of speech, and instantly dropped it on
the sidewalk in CONSERVATION, ex-
claiming: Il isn't a-takin' you-all no.

who recently sentenced Messrs. Gompers, Nor

important figures in the union labor world to-
day. to jail for contempt of court.
Judge Wright came to his present position

of Senator Foraker, Of whom he has always
been stanch political supporter and admirer.

HEARD CELEBRATED CASE

Judge W. NJ. Hart, who presides over the
criminal court in Nashville, Tenn, and who
heard the Carmack-Ccoper murder case which
interested the entire country, has possibly made
his name immortal by formulating a legal and
judicial standard of drunkenness. The question
was raised during the effort to get jury to try
the alleged slayers of the late ex-senator Car
mack, the charge being made that one of the
accepted talesmen was unfit for service because
he was an habitual drunkard.
This led to so many technical bubbles and
stumbling blocks that the court finally took mat
tiers in its own hands, and pronounced the final
judicial test of intoxication. "A man may have
taken liquor" he said, he may even be some.

WILL HUNT FOR POLE

Capt. Road Amundsen, the daring Norwe.
gian who is to add his own name to the long
list of seekers for the north pole, has already
made himself famous by his discoveries in the
region of the polar bear and the never-rising
thermometer. He gained especial distinction
by finding the northwest passage in 1906 after
a regiment of other explorers had hunted for it
in vain. He has flirted with the elusive pole
for years, skirting around its bad lands and
cutting his initials upon icebergs here and there

gets that far north. The Arctic circle is to
