COL, ROOSEVELT

~ IS SAID THAT HE SEEKS
MORAL SUPPORT IN HIS
N. Y. FIGHT.
TAFT ASSURES HIM
SMOKE OF BATTLE OF 1912, HOW.
EVER SEEMED TO GET IN
THEIR EYES.

Albany, N. Y.-President Taft and
Col. Roosevelt met Monday at New
Haven, Conn, for the second time
since the former presidents return
from Africa Col. Roosevelt sought
the conference with the President.
1t was plain from all that TRANSFERRED
before and after the meeting that the
colonel and his close political advisers
are not little worried over the situa-
ton in New York state and came to
the President for further evidence of
his moral support.
This the President was glad to give.
He declared his position in the New
York state fight had been clear from
the very first. He said he sympa-
thized heartily with the fight against
"bossism" being waged by the people
OF the state
There is no doubt that the shadow
OF 1912 hung over today's> gathering.
There was not the cordially Of old
between the President and the colonel.
1t was the first time they had met
since the story was given out at Oys-
ter Bay that Col. Roosevelt felt Mr..
Taft had double crossed" him in New
York and had sold out to the bosses"
there In return for a pledge of dele
gates in 1912. The President felt the
Injustice OF that story keenly. it is
said, and as result OF 1t the relations
between him and Mr.. Roosevelt can
never be the same again.
Oyster Bay.-Well pleased with the
result Of his conference with Presi-
dent Taft, Theodore Roosevelt re-
turn to Oyster Bay Monday night and
drove at once to Sycamore Hill.
Il had a very pleasant Interview
with the President" said the colonel,
"and an entirely satisfactory talk on
the New York situation"
He admitted that the national situa.
ton also had been discussed, but de-
clined to repeat any OF the converse.

section has been discovered by Har.
ry Sage, a prominent rancher. who al.
so has a remedy for the failure. He

to be found for the Bellefleur In the
Grand valley. but he has evolved q
method Of forcing the blossoms to
bear fruit In spite OF the old difficulty.
He glrdles the tree by cutting off
strips OF bark two feet long and an
inch and half wide. leaving a sim
liar width OF space between the strips.
This method has proved 10 be unusual

experiment Sage Is now harvesting
the first crop OF apples since his Belle
ileurs were planted. ten or twelve
years ago. Sage's discovery will be
worth thousands Of dollars to the ap-
pie sections OF Colorado.
