which will shape future American his
tory, it is believed. Never in its palmy
days as the summer capital of the for
mer president has the little Long Island
hamlet, that now holds the lionized lion
hunter, been watched as eagerly by n
public that now realizes the possibii-
ties of the situation that is seething
every hour in the shadow of Sycamore
Hill. Motor ears, crammed with pO-
litical potentates from every corner OF
the country, are flying back and forth
by night and day on the road to the
latest lair of the jungle shooter. Behind
the thick foliage that shuts out the
Roosevelt home as completely as the
sudden reticence of its lord, men of
the most weight in national affairs are
today constantly seeking confidential
conferences with the former dictator of
political affairs. When the upshot of
these pow vows at Oyster Bay is at
last revealed no one here will be sur
prised if the whole country is convulsel

squads of cats run wild, and packs

park tract. To hunt down and break

to whom the great, green stretch of

many of the song birds, that are now
known to be invaluable for preserving
natural growth against the insect pests
they eat, have fallen prey to these
providers of the park, and it is believed
that even more damage may be done
if they are not soon exterminated

OF all the recent Sundays, when the
beach resorts should flourish here, only
one has been even partly clear. With
thousands of cars, stored since last Sep
TENDER simply to accommodate the
crowds of the summer Sundays, the
trolley men hereabonts have scarcely
collected hundred thousand excursion
fares thus far. Millions of dollars worth
OF power plants and rolling stock must
be held in reserve most of the year to
cope with the short summer rush to
parks and shore, the records show, while
millions more are invested in the great
amusement enterprises. Though this
sorry season has practically made a
dead loss of the holiday business, the
traction men declare that its profits
never measure up anywhere near to the
huge expense and labor of carrying it
on.
Children's Crops.
Bending over bits of farm land that
they rent for two cents week i'm an
outlying Westhester suburb, six hun
dred boys and girls of the .enement
districts are today cnltivating crops
that any farmer in the state might
envy. Beans, beets, onions, lettuce and
carrots are being brought forth by the
bushels by the off hour efforts of the
East Side tots, and many dollar has
already been yielded to the most faith
full of them from the produce of the
tiny strips of earth they have been al
lotted. If every worker in this mt
trOpolis held as steadily to the job as
these poor children are doing, it is gem
orally recognized there would be more
prosperity and less vagrancy here
Dictate Dances.
That the two-step will soon become

GLIDING its annual session here Polkas
and schOttsches are to gain the as
cendancy, while the waltz will reign as
the queen of terpsichorean evolutions,
the dictators of the May whirl have
decreed. Professional dancers have filled
the platform as these jurors judged the
merits of their eXpositions of different
dances, so the final verdict has not
been nightly formed. In spite of the
announcement of these radical reforms in
the treading of the light fantastic toe,
gay youths and maidens are today still
making the good, old two-step the ia
vorite in their nightly dances about
town.

MADE A VERY BIG NOISE
Day at New Ulm Belittles Governor
Eterhart and Magnifes Lind.
Erono Tuesdav'a Datlv

From Tuesdays Daily.
Cheney, in the Minneapolis Journal
says: The democratic banquet at New
Ulm Saturday night made lot of
noise, but as far as the state situation
is concerned, it left things right where
they were before. The Lind boom was
taken out and aired and was given the
official sanction of Frank A. Day, who
has been accused in some qaurters of
mkewarmness toward the former gov
ernor But Mr.. Day could not give his
fellow guests any more assurance OF
Mr. Lind's intentions than th,y have
had all along. To all inquiries Mr..
Lind persists in saying that he is not,
and will not be candidate. Yet it
seems the settled determination of the
democrats to name him anyway and
force him to accept.
| Chairman Day opened up the "acri-
mony" of the campaign with some
rather contemptuous references to Gov
, ernor Eberhart If his head is followed
by the orators of the democracy, the
policy will be to belittle the governor
and magnify John Lind into grand
stature beside him.
Hennepin county democrats were pre-
sented with candidate for congress by
! Mr.. Day in the person of Einar Hoi-
dale, and Mr.. Hoidale went a trial
heat in speech Kidding the repubi-
can state platform. Mr.. Hoidale says
Ire is willing to make the run, and will
| endeavor to take the nomination away
from Thomas P. Dwyer and John H
Long, who have already filed. He was
