ROOSEVELT WILL MAKE TRIPS
THROUGH WEST AND SOUTH

ing time tables for the last two weeks
squeezing in as many speeches as train
connections would admit of. General re-
quests for a few words have come by
hundreds from political organizations,
clubs, schools and personal friends. The
most of these Colonel Roosevelt has been
obliged to decline, and in announcing
his programme today he said he wished
to make 1t clear that he could consider
no further invitations. Already he. has
been compelled to refuse many that he
wished to accept
At Chicago Colonel Roosevelt will speak
before the Hamilton club, political or
ganization with which his relations for
years have been cordial and which Is
sure to give him an enthusiastic recep-
ton. At Milwaukee he speaks before the
Press club.
The first address of the southern trip
will be on Uncle Remus day named in
memory of Joel Chandler Harris who in
Peoria speech will be before the Knights
of Columbus Roman Catholic organiza-
ton.
The place for the Indiana speech in sup
port of Senator Beveridge will depend
upon the exigencies of the political situa-
ton Thus far Colonel Roosevelt has only
considered this subject matter in a gen.
eral way. He knows that he will deal
with current questions which form the
basis of political discussion; but he knows
that his speech for Senator Beveridge
will be politics pure and simple, an open
plea for the senator's success in his cam
paign.
There were no political conferences to-
day at Sycamore Hill. The colonel was
busy with his editorial work and his
voluminous correspondence.

N. G. & ST. l. WILL
OWN ST. LOUIS LINE

Nashville, Tenn, July H-Following ne
gotiations which have been pending for
the past two, years. the announcement
is made with authority that the Nash
VILE, Chattanooga and st. Louis has prac-
tically completed arrangements whereby
It will enter st. Louis over it's own rails,
but not until today has there been any
confirmation of the end Of the line. When
seen today high official of the line stat
ed that such arrangements had been
made and considerable advantage to the
road would result.
1t is proposed to construct a bridge
across the Ohio river at Paducah, cross
ing to Metropolis. ILL.,, and thence over
a practically newly constructed road to
enter st. Louis.
.~rhe matter of building the bridge has
been passed upon by the Ohio river COM
mission two months ago." said this ofri-
cial, ''while negotiations for the construc-
.tion of the road and other details have
been quietly progressing for some time,
40 that 1t may be said on authority that
such arrangements are practically COM
pleted." A-
Probably no one thing has hastened the
completion of arrangements Tor a line
of it's own into st. Louis by the Nash
vile, Chattanooga and st. Louis more
than the purchase of the Central OF Geor-
ria by the Illinois Central.

TWO VERY STRANGE
CASES OF SUICIDE

New York, July 1.-two extraor-
dinary cases of suicide marked the
night in the environs of New York.
An unidentified man about 25 years OF
age and well dressed sauntered slowly
across the Williamsburg bridge, sat
down on a bench to read the racing
chart in an evening newspaper, offered
cigaret to q neighbor. smoked one
himself with seeming enjoyment and
then began rapidly to climb the lat
tice work of one of the piers.
Before the chance acquaintance
could call a policeman the stranger had
reach ed the cap Of the pier. 205 feet
above the foundation, and leaped off.
The man landed on the roadway. 1S5
feet above the water. and was picked
up dead.
Another man, unidentified, climbed on

ALABAMIANS WED

Meridian, Miss, July 14.-(Special.)-A

dence of DR.. T. ]. Shipman, pastor OF

James r. Jackson of Livingston, Ala,
and sheriff of Sumter county. was united

a few friends present. The marriage was
not an elopmenet The couple decided to
spring a surprise on their home people
by coming to Meridian and getting mar

EUGENE FOSS Is
LOOMING LARGE

Washington. July H-(Special)-T
fate of Massachusetts, in a political way
this fall revolves around that singularly
interesting and eminently energetic per-
sonage, Eugene N. Foss, now representa-
tive from the Fourteenth district. AS the
omens run, If Foss is nominated by the
democrats for governor he will be elect
ed. If Foss is not nominated then the
probabilities are that the democrats will
fail to carry the tsate.
Much as the fight between Henry Cabot
Lodge and Butler Ames fs talked about,
the big question from the standpoint OF
Massachusetts politicians is not the
Lodge-Ames controversy, but who will
be the next governor. One reason for
this is that Ames is not expected to de-
feat Lodge.
Moreover, If the state should be turn
ed over to the democrats headed by
strong man like Foss, 1t would be
source of great encouragement to demo-
Gratis all over the country and Foss would
loom up as much more of national ng-
ure than he is now. The election of Foss
as governor of Massachusetts this year
might lead the democrats to seize on
him as their next nominee for president
Stranger things have happened.
