ROOSEVELT
SEES TAFT
Colonel Crosses the Sound in
a Little Boat, Planning
a Secret Trip
REQUESTED CONFERENCE
WITH THE PRESIDENT

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Sept. 19-Col-
onel Theodore Roosevelt slipped
quietly into New Haven to-day for
political conference with President
Taft.
The request for the conference
came from the ex-President. The two
meu talked politics and reviewed both
the New York State and the general
national situation.
Having observed the utmost secrecy
in the preliminary arrangements for
the meeting, Colonel Roosevelt cross
ed the Sound from Oyster Bay in a
I motor boat this morning to Black
Rock, and from there cruised up the
Connecticut shore to New Haven. He
lunched with the President, Lloyd
Griscomb, Otto T. Barnard, and Sec
rotary Norton.
There was almost a comic opera
| plot in the secrecy observed in the
meeting. SECRETARY Norton this after
noon admitted that the arrangements
! for the conference had been made
! by him after the request had come
through Griscom from Colonel Roose-
welt. The Colonel made his getaway
from Oyster Bay this morning before
the newspaper men got on his trail
and there was quite a stiff breeze
kicking up the sound, struck out
boldly in the little boat for the Con-
necticut shore across the Sound.
At Black Rock, Roosevelt was Joined
by Griscom and the motorboat con-
tinued its trip up the Connecticut
shore to a desolate spot few miles
outside of New Haven, where Secre-
tary Norton was waiting with an auto
mobile.
When Norton was cornered by the
correspondents with the President
as ahe was about to set out
for the rendezvous, he admitted
out for the rendezvous, he admitted
that a meeting was to take place be-
tween the President and the ex-Presi-
dent, but declined to give the place or
any information as to the subjects to
be discussed.
There is the widest speculation
as to the possibility of the conference
but the generally accepted theory is
that the colonel requested the con-
ference with a view to ascertaining
more clearly what his attitude must
be toward the present administration
in the speech which he is planning to
deliver at the Republican state con-
vention at Saratoga next week.

WILL FORTIFY
PANAMA CANAL
Believed That Taft Has Ap-
proved Plans Submitted
by Army Experts

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19-The an
nouncement that President Taft will
recommend the appropriation Of ST.
100000 to begin work on the fortifica-
lions on the Panama Canal, is taken
here to mean that he has approved
the plans submitted to him by the
army experts and while Taft's gem
eral attitude in favor Of the fortif-
cation has been known, his approval
of the present proposals was a source
of qualification.
Cable dispatches from Paris saying
that NJ. Bunau-Varllla, who represent
ed the republic Of Panama I'm canal
negotiations, did not believe the
United States had right to fortify
the canal, caused some amusement
among students OF the situation.
Bunau-Varilla states that while Il is
obvious that Great Britain, by the
ay-Paunceforte treaty gave up any
right TO object TO the fortihcations,
the other nations have still that
right.

AT THE AGE OF THREE
HIS HAIR TURNED GRAY

BOWLING GREEN, KY. Sept a.
Walter Hunter Covington, aged seven
son of James c. COvington, a farmer
living near Bowling Green, has hair
which is whittier than that of many a
man of fifty. His father says his hair
began TO turn gray when he was a
little past three years old and that
since that time it has grown whittier
every year.
The elder Covington says he cannot
account for the fact, because the
family has never had serious trouble
and none of the child's relatives have
become gray.
The boys hair is very white on the
top and we'll down the sides, but at
the bottom il still retains its ebony
hue. The boy says he is so ashamed
of his hair at times that he won't
mix with any one but relatives.

SCHOOLS ENOUGH TO CARE
FOR ALL, SAYS FRANCIS
No Confusion at Opening of Term,
Declares Superintendent

1t is believed that at the opening of
the school term there will be no con-
fusion or delay in assigning seats to
high school students, though hereto
fore considerable time has been taken
in reorganizing the classes, due to the
crowded conditions of the schools.
In speaking of the accommodations
for high school students J. III. Francis,
superintendent of schools, said yester-
day:
"There will be no lining up for seats
in the high schools of Los Angeles
when the schools open September 12.
The high school situation is 60 per cent
better this season than it has been
before.
with the new Manual Arts high
school, the completion of the twenty
six-room addition to the Polytechnic
high school and the adding to the city
schools of the Hollywood high school,
with a capacity of 1000 students, there
will be seats for every boy or girl who
desires admission, and the outlook is
that there will be room to spare.
1.-THE Manual Arts high school will
have a capacity of 1900 students and
an enrolment of 1000 is expected.
Hollywood high viii have an enroll
ment of 800 and the other schools will
be enabled to take care of all who are
entitled to attend"
The school officials believe that by
September IA the schools of the entire
city will have all their classes fully
organized and will proceed with the
opening work of the term.

Los AngeIes-PacifiC Company to

and CoIegrove People

Representatives of Corporation
Will Confer with Commut-
erS Next Thursday
RATE PROBABLE

In all probability the controversy
between the residents of Hollywood
and Coleerove and the Los Angeles
Pacific company in regard to car SER
vice and cent fares to these two
point will be settled definitely Thurs
day, September 8, when a committee
of citizens of both towns will meet
officials of the railroad company and
discuss their differences. Notices were
sent out Yesterday by the latter TO the
boards of trades of both Colegrove
and Hollywood requesting that such
a committee be appointed.
This latest move in regard to the 5
cent fare matter comes at the instiga-
tlon of Paul Shoup of San Francisco,
general manager of all the Southern
Pacific's electric holdings, who is in
Los Angeles for a few days. With
General Manager Robert Sherman and
Attorney Gurney Newlin of the l.. A.
P. company he will meet he citizens
committee and will endeavor to come
to some settlement with them.
The citizens of Hollywood and Cole
grove have been fighting for cent
fare for sometime past. Numerous pc
titions have been sent the company
demanding a reduction of the rate,
which is now 10 cents each way, but
hitherto their demands have brought
them no satisfaction The company
is now, however, offering to meet the
citizens of their own accord and ac-
cording to all reports the officials are
going into it with a determination to
get the matter settled once and for all
time.
At the general offices of the COM
pany yesterday no information could
be obtained as to the proposition
which they would offer the two towns,
or what concessions they were willing
to make The officials did state, how
ever, that some radical changes were
being contemplated and that the citi-
zens of Hollywood and Colegrove
" ould have no cause to complain af-
ter the conference.
The netting will be held in the gen
eral offices of the company at Fourth
and Hill streetss.

KEPPEL WANTS PENDLET0N
ON DEMOCRATIC TICKET
Republican Declares He Does Not
Want Nomination

Mark Keppel, Republican nominee for
county superintendent of schools and,
according to the supervisors, the DEM
ocratic nominee also, has written a
letter to Albert M. Norton, chairman
of the Democratic county central COM
mittee, in which he says that while he
believes he was legally awarded the
Democratic nomination, he believes Mr..
Pendleton morally entitled to it. His
letter follows:
"Mr. Albert M. Norton. chairman of
the Democratic county central com
rnittee, Los Angeles, Cal.
Dear Sir: I am informed that pro-
ceedings have been instituted for the
purpose of compelling the board of
Supervisors to remove my name from
the Democratic ticket as a candidate
for county superintendent of schools.
While | believe that the nomination
was legally awarded to me, yet 1t
seems evident to me that 2S0 Demo-
Gratis attempted to vote for M. r,
Pendleton and that 258 attempted to
vote for Mark Keppel. Morally, there
fore, 1t appears to me that Mr.. Pen
dleton is entitled to the Democratic
nomination. l trust that the courts
will be able to award to him legally
that which is morally due to him.
'Truiy yours, MARK KEPPEl.
County superintendent"
Many Democrats, in writing In the
name of Mr.. Pendleton, wrote the In
itials "W. r." instead OF IN. r." All
ballots on which the wv" appeared
