One OF the young women. small and OF
slight build, was called MARY" by her
companions. and the other larger and
moro athletic in appearance, was called
Marguerite
They lined up at an imaginary line on
the Tenth street side, and when Maloney
and Brown gave the word the young
women sped away in opposite directions
around the tracks, the young men running
back OF them.
Several runners were practicing about
the basin track at the time. and soon
about twenty-five persons gathered at the
finish line to see the termination Of the
race. Marguerite fell on a muddy spot
shortly after starting, but regaining heI
! feet she came In a victor with lead OF
about fifty yards

F, the cab. and after their escorts had paid
Maloney and Brown for their services

COL. ROOSEVELT
And PINCHOT
Former President Accepts In
vitatiOn to Speak at Con-
SerVatiOn Convention
BELIEVED THAT HE FAVORS
THE FORMER FORESTER

(By staff Correspondent Of tho
United Press).
PORTO MAUR1zIO. April 12-coIoneH
Theodore Roosevelt to-day accepted an
invitation personally delivered by Glf-
ford Pinchot. whom President Taft re-
moved as chief forester of the United
states, TO addpess the meeting of the
National Conservation League, prob
ably at Kansas city.
The acceptance of this invitation let's
the first real light into the nature of
the confidential interviews that were
begun yesterday between the EXPRESS
dent and Pinchot and were enthusi-
astically resumed to-day.
Both Roosevelt and Pnchot continua
their SphynX-like silence regarding tina
subject matter OF their Conversations,
but ia view Of to-days developments
this silence is no longer battling the
correspondents. In fact the corresponds
onts We're not bahled from the first but
they needed something besides mere
conjecture ON which to hang their con-
clusions and the acceptance Of this
invitation has given them the needed
peg.
The significance Of to-day's accepts
]
/ pet reforms was the conservation
movement -Pinchot was his right
bower Pinchot and Secretary Ball
linger ran afoul. and Taft stood by
his secretary and called for the resig-
nation of Pinchot
Roosevelt With Pinehot.
Roosevelt has heard the Pinchot side
OF the controversy, and accepted his
friends statements. and without watt
ing TO hear from the other side. he has
indicated that his sympathies are all
with Pnchot
II is becoming daily more apparent
that Roosevelt Is going to learn Of
: other phases of the American political
b situation before he returns 20 the
United States. The report that Francis
Hency. former prosecutor of S-n Fran.
cisco. and Seth Bullock. United statel
marshad az Deadwood, S. d., are q
meet him in Europe and disclose TO hin
the situation in their respective terri
\ tories bears out this conclusion.
} Ex- -Forester Much Pleased.
Pipchots meeung with Roosevelt ye1
terday lasted almost untn midnigh
Y and that IL was entirely satisfactory {
the ex-forester was shown by th
broad smile that lightened his fac
when he returned 10 his hotel
He was of again at s o'clock thii
morning for Miss Carews villa, whert
he and Roosevelt again started on a
4 long tramp.
S 1T certainly seems like old times.
[ Pinchot said To the correspondents.
Z who tried 10 break through his guard.
3 "My walk with Roosevelt reminded me
! of the strolls we used 70 take abour
Washington"
, There was a ring OF significance ia
I Pnchot's words.
Another perfect day greeted the
Roosevelts at Miss Carews villa.
Wherever the Roosevelts went to-day,
whether walking or riding. they were
greeted enthusiastically by the Villagers
who several times bombardcd them
with bouquets of violets and roses.

Private interests came near put
ting crimp in plans of the city
Tor municipal dock. The emphatic
action OF the business mems COM
mlttee, headed by E. r. Rogers,
alone prevented the sidetrackinR OF
the whole municipal scheme yester-
day afternoon.
The business men, city commits
sion and Judge Reid of the N. p
met to consider the negotiations for
the municipal dock site. The city
finally got to the point of Offering
$4,000 a lot for the property de-
sired from Eleventh to Fifteenth
street.
Then Judge Reid announced that
Carl Stebbins of the Commercial
Dock had practically closed a deal
for the five lots north of the Elev-
enth street bridge.
The city wanted these lots. In
order TO get the indianapolis to Join
in the city dock movement the city
must get her a place to dock in
short time, as her present contract
expires and she wants a new place
to land. 1t was evident to the bust
ness men and commission that Steb-
bins had taken this plan of knock
ing 1t in the head.
The bushes men declared the
whole thing of. They said they
would withdraw all sanction from
the municipal dock proposition IL
this deal was made and Judge Reid
finally agreed to telegraph Thomas
Cooper not to sign the lease with
Stebbins.

Roosevelt: Can you enlight-
en- me whether anybody has been
discharged from the breakers or
factories because of under age?
Savers: l can't answer that. (;
1t was while the colonel was at

dared to ask what no one else has
If Roosevelt would run again
for president-hurried in to see
the towns great visitor.
Such a man." he said to me,
as he beamed over telling of his
visit with Roosevelt. "Why, he's
as plain as any of us. No fuss
about him. He doesn't go around
dressed up. And he shakes hands
as If he meant it,"
Before leaving Dickson, Col
Roosevelt went to the Johnson
breaker.
A breaker is a great building
that looks like a grain elevator
and sounds like cannonade. It's
where the boys pick the slae out
of the coal.
But not all boys. Some of the
breaker" are old men. l saw
several. They're called "boys, Z"
too. "Once a miner and twice a
boy is the saying.
The work pays So cents a day
for an eight-hour day.
l went in through the flying
black dust as Col. Roosevelt did
up-up steps crusted with pow
dered coal. The building is 1870
feet high.
The coal from the mines goes
sliding down troughs, across
which the breakers sit crouched,
picking out the slate as the Jumps
slide by. Great revolving cages
catch it on the way down and sep
arate the finer from the coarser
coal.
1t was in one of the lower
breakers where the smaller boys
worked that Col. Roosevelt
stopped to talk. He picked out
Frederick Davis, a slender four
teen-year-old boy, who has just
begun the work.
What did Col. Roosevelt say
to your" shouted into the little
fellows ear. His teeth cleaned
against his black lips.
HE said, How are your was
shouted back into my ear.
Then l asked, What did you
sayg"
II said, Good" came back
above the roar.
Then what did he say?" I
asked.
HE said, How do you like
picking slater"
"And your"
81 said, All right and then
he didn't say any more"
Il paid Frederick's time to have
him come out and have his picture
taken so the little boys who
think it's hard to bring up q pail
of coal for mother from the base
ment can see how a boy looks who
sits all day in place that's like a
flying coal bin, who must never
look up, because that would mean
slate in the coal.
