GETS WORD FROM ROOSEVELT
Cordial Messages Brought to White
House by Those Who Have
Visited the Colonel.

Saturday for adjournment Of Congress
was the word that went around the
White House today. Senator Elkins sa id
Saturday; Senator Curtis said Saturday;
Senator Burrows. the same; Representa-
tive Mann, Saturday or before, so far as
the House is concerned: practically every
body agreed on Saturday The President
was willing.
Senator Burrows. who is in charge of
the publicity bill in the Senate. was the
first senatorial visitor with the Presi-
dent. He talked about the publicity bill
He went away after making a predic-
ton that the bill will become law at this
session.
There were no further conferences on
the postal savings banks bill. The Presi-
dent ascertained last night that the bill
would be voted upon this afternoon and
passed. That was all he wanted, and
his work today was mostly in the nature
of conferences as to minor bills that are
going through the congressional ma
chinery at this late hour.
The President was in happy frame of
mind today, as he has been for the last
week or so. The hearty Endorsement of
the Minnesota republican convention,
with other information reaching him.
made him feel that, after all, his work
for the people Of the country was appre-
ciated.
The Taft-Roosevelt Understanding.
Along with the satisfactory ending of
the session OF Congress and the wide
spread commentators is the mutually
agreeable understanding of the President
and Col. Theodore Roosevelt that tiere
is no friction between them. but on the
contrary a resumption of the close and
cordial relations that marked the two
men for many years. This knowledge
that Col. Roosevelt has not been men
tally poisoned by the attempts of the
ered worth much to the ease Of mind
Of the President at this time.
At least four men who have seen Theo-
dore Roosevelt since last Saturday, two
of them on most intimate terms, having
spent all of Sunday with him. have talked
to the President. These men have brought
the most cordial messages from the ex-
President to the Chief Magistrate-mes-
sages that insure no further possibility
Of political or other misunderstanding.
Secretary Meyer. who went to New
York Saturday. along with Secretary Will
son to greet Col. Roosevelt, and who re-
mained at Oyster Bay through Sunday
and until Monday morning. is immensely
pleased. it is said on good authority, at
the evidence that the ex-President fully
understands the situation in Washington
and throughout the country. and is as
great an admirer of Mr.. Taft as ever.
Senator Lodge. who spent Sunday with
Mr. Roosevelt at Oyster Bay, has had a
long. confidential talk with the President.
So did Secretary Wilson. Another man to
bring back messages sympathetic and
kindly was Capt. A. w. Butt former aid
to President Roosevelt and holding the
same position with President Taft.
Mr Mann Was Serious.
Representative Mann of Illinois left
the Presidents offices this morning
smiling more broadly than usual. The
newspaper correspondents met him.
II came here to call the attention of
the President to the dam BILL" said Mr.
Mann.
"Oh, heavens" calculated a reporter
1.-The bill is a general law for the con-
struction of dams over navigable streams
and 1 wanted the President to know
something of it's Details.
Senator Elkins called on the President
with Judge Ira Robinson Of the supreme
court Of West Virginia, the youngest su-
preme court justice in the United States.
President Taft was himself the youngest
man ever appointed a circuit court judge
of the United States.
