ROOSEVELT STARTS

MuDDLED STATE BEHIND

welt may yet be named chairman
and Sherman asked to retire.
Sherman was expected in New
York City today, but has tele-
graphed that he finds it impossible
to come. 1t is believed, however.
that he will have a conference in
the next few days with the leaders
of the New York committee, and
it is likely in the light of the letter
of President Taft some statement
will be made by him. Politicians
here say they would not be sur
prised If he should withhold it for
the sake of harmony"
AS running mate OF Taft in the
last election, and as an Integral
part of the administration, it is be-
iieved, Sherman can hardly oppose
openly the wishes of the president,
and with the Griscom letter, in
which Taft deplores the contro-
versy, and the telegram of the
president to Sherman suggesting a
conference with Roosevelt, it is be-
lieved Sherman will be willing to
make some move to restore the har-
mony which Taft hopes might be
attained.

Oddities in the News
All OUer the World

y SOW was rented to furnish milk
for a girls camp on Oak island in
Greenwood lake, New Jersey, and
as the farmer supposed the girls
knew how to milk he did not tell
them. AS they thought milking was
easy as running a typewriter, they
didn't ask.
Miss Naomi Smith, a New York
stenographer. first tried to milk
Bossy, and fingered the keyboard
for some minutes without producing
any milk.
Bessie Kerens twisted the cows
tail, thinking maybe Bossy was to
blame, and Bossy retailiated by
kicking Sarah Weems. When the
cow ''mooed' and started toward
the girls they raced to their bunga-
low, put on bathing suits. and all
eight of them swan to the main
land, reporting that the COW had
gone mad"
Farmer Meiss allowed there was
nothing the matter with the critter
except she didn't like to have her
tail twisted. He ferried Bossy back
home in flat bottomed boat

TELEPHONE RATE
REGULATIONS

A Seattle man has started suit
to test the right of the state rail
way commission to regulate tele-
phone rates. One or two cities,
Spokane included, has placed the
question of the regulation of tele-
phone rates before the commission.
The Seattle man claims that it is
not within the pale of the commits
sion's authority and wants the SUI
preme court to pass on the case.
The action has been started at
Olympia in order to expedite the
hearing.
There is some talk of the Bell
telephone interests asking that the
railroad commission compel some
of the independent companies to
raise rates on the ground that they
cannot make any money at present
figures.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. %
Drilled by a modern Fagin in the
light fingered art of thievery to a
degree which ranks her as one Of
the few expert child criminals in
the land, Ruth Schroeder, ~ years
of age, has had remarkable ca
reer as a pickpocket which lasted
eight weeks.
She is a wee mite Of girl with
a baby face and golden curls blow
ing back from her shoulders. She
has a child's love of candy and
toys and nickel shows. Yet so
clever was she that she distracted
$40 from the pockets OF a man in a
meat market under the closest
scrutiny of a detective and he did
not see the act.
The large department stores, the
crowded markets and the side
walks in front of shop windows
were the fields of Ruth's greatest
activity. She opened handbags car
ried by two women as they stood
talking on a busy street corner
and deftly removed the purses they
contained without detection. Again
she wormed herself around a
crowded bargain counter and Sc
$21 from the purse of a parcel
laden shopper.
Just how much loot she has OBJ
tanned the oplice have not learned,
but detectives who have investi-
gated reports of thefts say that she
ropbably secured $50 to 500 on a
Saturday afternoon.
And Saturdays were the only
days Ruth worked. She had to go
to school during the week and she
thought 1t was great fun to treat
the kids to candy and ice rceam

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 23.-De-
spite the fact that her husband OBJ
tanned an absolute divorce from her
yesterday, Mrs. Catherine Elizabeth
Stevenson. who was known on the
stage as Kate Claxton, is today pre-
pairing to combat the decree. 1t is
alleged by the woman that fraud
was employed in obtaining the
divorce.
Mrs. Stevenson recently inter
rupted the marriage of her husband
with another woman. She insisted
that she was Stevenson's wife until
the latter showed court records that
he obtained divorce in 1901.
In her suit filed yesterday to have
the decree annulled, Mrs. Stevenson
says she was touring Europe during
1901 and that she did not know her
husband had divorced her until
plans for his second wedding be-
came known.
