WORTH LOOKING INTO.

The suggestion made by Rev. T.. 7
Wexford on the iloer OF the Cham
Der of Commerce that the practica
bihty OF establishing boat line be
tween this city and Nansemond river
landings is we'll worth looking into
All along the shores OF the lower
Nansemond are fertile farms and
prosperous little communities. The
people there would make most de
sirahle customers for our local mer'
chants, and IL would be q blessing
to have truck shipped directly from
these farms to Newport News. insttae
of bv wsv az Norfolk.
Since the Old Dominion Steamship
Company, which Is said 10 own the
wharves along the Nsnsemond, Is
running no daily boat between Nor
folk and SUFFOLK now. 1t might be easy
TO make arrangements for wharfage
with that company in the event di-
rect line were established from here.
Or. II proper representations were
made 10 the Old Dominion Line, the
officials OF that company might con-
slider the matter Of putting small
steamer on to give traffic between
this city and Nansemond river point:
trial.
Certainly NO harm can come from
an inquiry into this matter. What
Newport News needs as much as any
thing else Is to be. put in closer
touch with the rural communities In
cur vicinity.

ANYBODY else. The newspapers onghl
10 have representatives I'm :he confer

ference does Is news. and because
thousands OF the readers of the papers

expect 10 see accounts Of he proceed

reporters, ought 10 be anxious 10 have
the public generally and virginia
Meihodists particularly know through

The Conference mas made a great
mistake. Even Or. cannon's staunchest
friends and admirers in the Confer
ence ought 70 know by this time That
the doctor cannot be satisfied by any
newspaper that Is not conducted In
all respects In accordance with the
particular notions OF the doctor him
self Besides knowing all about
churches and conferences and schools
and religious weeklies. Or. Cannon for
a long time has liked to believe that
he knows just little bit more about

San Francisco, May 17.-With the
at yesterdays conference and Rickard
named as the third man in the ring,
the sporting fraternity is now troubled
over the possibility of the scene of the
land johnson being switched. The
widely circulated report from Oak
land that the fight promoters have
been warned that the authorities may
not permit them to hold the fight at
the Emeryville race track, developed
something tangible, for District Attor-
ney Donohue admitted that he is pre-
pairing an opinion on the law covering
the right to hold the fight, and Sheriff
Barnes stated that he is awaiting his
opinion. The most disquieting, how
ever, was that Thomas H. Williams.
president of the California Jockey
Club, had withdrawn his support and
informed Tex Rickard he must find
some other place in which to bring
! the fighters together. Williams re
fused either to confirm or deny.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT
AT LAS GUASIMAS.
He Shared Hardships With Men in
the Trenches and Won Amir
alton and Affection.

He sprang into the jungle, des-
pite its dusky mystery, the uproar of
the firing, the silent dead and Topping,
groaning wounded close at hand. His
men were very glad to follow him.
That time the Rough Riders began to
love their volatile lieutenant-colonel
and that love had grown to mighty
strength when the little battle ended
In the days succeeding, while the
regiment soaked in the trenches, un-
comfortable beyond expression, ill-sup-
piled, the love intensified. Roosevelt
and Wood could have been mildly COM
Portable, at least well fed, if they had
Willed it; but they accepted neither
better food nor better shelter than
their men had. They soaked with
them, half starved with them.
Thus both gained favor, but Roose-
welt, beyond doubt, won more than
Wood did, although Woods training as
a soldier enabled him to actually do
more, perhaps, to soften the mems
hardships than Roosevelt, an amateur,
could possibly accomplish. Wood won
respect and admiration; Roosevelt, on
the other hand, won-love. 1t was
through his fine example that the of.
ficers of the regiment established the
general rule that all dainties coming
to them (dainties could not reach en-
listed men, but did, occasionally
reach the officers) should not be
shared among the officers, but be SET
aside for sick and wounded. Drugs
too, were scarce. A Rough Rider was

with sword reversed came down the
Mall, two other guardsmen following
close behind. Then came the officers
of the headquarters staff, the army

the gun carriage on which the casket
