TAFT Will WATT
FOR PARTY'S CALL
Denial Made That President In
tends to Step Aside for
Roosevelt
Assnointed pressN

BEVERLY, Mass, Sept. 16.-The pub
llcation of a story in certain newspa-
pers, purporting to come from Beverly
and announcing that President Taft
has decided to step aside as a presi-
Dental candidate In 1912, to make way
for Col. Theodore Roosevelt, brought
many inquiries to the summer capital
today.
1t was decided not to dignity the
story, which is reported to be without
any foundation whatever, with state
ment. 1t can be stated that there has
been no change in President Taft's at
titude toward a second term since he
told a number of friends a few months
ago that he would accept a second
nomination if his party desied it,
The president, 1t is said, Is not con-
sidering his chances for a second term
one way or the other at this time.
From the first he has said that he
would devote himself to carrying out as
nearly as possible the pledges of the
platform on which he was elected.
Mr.. Taft, it is pointed out, does not
know how to play politics, and he has
been quoted as saying that he would
not do so II he could.
The fact that he has often In his
speeches referred to the fact that he
has only the rest of his present term to
serve means, it is said here, that Mr..
Taft does not feel that he nominated
himself, and that he will not make
political bid for nomination.
The president starts for New. Haven
and Cincinnati on Sunday night. lie
will be away from Beverly two weeks,
returning october 2 to remain until
October 15.
Crahame- White, the English aviator,
called on the president at Burgess
Point today.

AGUE\CoMMITTEE TO
. CONFER ON EXPANSION

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16.-The
question of the consolidation of the
Coast and the Northwestern leagues
was discussed at a meeting of the
Coast league here today but the only
action taken was the appointment of
Berry, Walter and McCreedie as a
committee to confer with similar
committee from the Northwestern and
report back to the annual meeting of
the Coast league in December.
The Northwest wants four clubs
taken into the league. and if these
clubs were admitted it would mean
the Vernon team would have to sur
render it's franchise and that there
would be no more continuous baseball
in Los Angeles. None of the Coast
clubs favor the abandoning of the
Vernon franchise, and it is very likely
that the conference with the North
west league will be without result.
The double umpire. plan is doomed,
but no action has been taken. Ewing
declares that it may be put into effect
next year, but that to establish the
system now would force the league to
maintain it regardless of expense or
a desire later to abandon it.

Into Custody-She Attacks
Him with Her Teeth

VENICE, Sept. 16,-William Milkey,
a policeman in the employ of the Abbot
Kinney company on the Venice pier,
this evening had the unpleasant ex-
perience of arresting his own wife for
disturbance. When he attempted to
take her to jail she fought him
viciously, and at police headquarters
he showed marks on his arms and legs
where she had bitten him. Mrs. Mickey
was taken before City Recorder Rem
ME, who dismissed her from custody,
saying it was a family affair in which
the authorities had no interest.
Mlkey and his wife are Syrians. He
is handsome. She is a striking dark
haired beauty less than 80 years of age.
Several weeks ago they separated and
Mrs. Mickey went to work as cashier
for a moving picture show past which
her husband is obliged to walk on his
daily rounds. Milkey walked by the
show with young woman, who later
disappeared in the melee. Just as the
pair reached the cashiers range of

panion "made a face" at Mrs. Mickey.
The officers wife could not stand
this, and rushed out to punish the
other woman. Mickey attempted to

him and he placed her under arrest.
Mrs. Milkey resisted the officer, which
her friends say she had a perfect right
to do because he is her husband. Re-
corder Rennie sidestepped this question
when it came up in court, declaring
that he would rather refer it to a high
er tribunal to decide.
''I would not have paid any attention
to the girl If she had not turned up
after she was released by the court.
Mrs. Mickey was known formerly as
"Fatifna," a Turkish dancer on the
Venice Midway.

BURDETTE DENIES HE
FAVORS SUNDAY SHOW
Brands as Fake an Interview in
Which He Is Quoted for
Open House

PASADENA, Sept. 17.-Dr. Robert J..
Burdette at his home last evening de-
MED the purported interview repro
duced from a New York paper which is
being circulated in printed form by
supporters of the idea of opening the
local theaters on Sunday, and in which
DR.. Burdette is quoted as favoring
moving pictures on the Sabbath. Dr.
Burdette says:
1.-THE picture men, feel certain, were
honest in their purpose when they had
the alleged interview reproduced and
circulated here, but the article which
appeared in the New York paper is an
advertising fake. You will notice that
they claim to have interviewed me at
the Hotel Astor. I haven't seen the
Hotel Astor in ten years. They stated
that / attended a picture show on sun
day and was delighted to see the happy
families enjoying the pictures. 1 never
attended a moving picture show in
New York-nor in Los Angeles, either.
When 1 go to New York I generally
have my time taken up with business,
and If I have time for amusement
seek a better kind than picture shows,
for I could attend them at home"
DIR. Burdette declared that he has
no ak to grind and that he has taken
no decided stand in the controversy
concerning the opening of local show
houses on Sunday, but he expressed
himself in favor of letting the people
decide the question by popular vote.
Harry A. Pruitt, who took the initia-
tive in circulating the petitions asking
the city council to put the matter to
a vote, said last evening:
81 started the petitions on my own
responsibility on behalf of the work
ingmen. Theater men and others came
to my assistance later. We have 1900
signatures to the petitions to date and
expect to gain many more before the
city council meets Tuesday to pass the
proposed anti-Sunday theater ordi-
nance on second reading. All we are
asking now is to have the council hold
the matter over until the next munich
pal election and let the voters decide
We do not want a special election
called If we can avoid it."
It is said that every labor organiza-
tion which has met since the council
took action last Tuesday has passed
resolutions to the city officials asking
for a popular vote on the question.
