ELOPING COUPLE UNDISTURBED
Daughter of Millionaire and Chauf-
feur Husband Avnit Forgiveness.

Daughter of Millionaire and Chauf-
feur Husband Avvnit FOrgiveness
Undisturbed by the storm Of parental
wrath which their eloPement OcCasiOned,
Joseph F. Smoren and his bride, the win
some daughter Of G. Rowland Leavitt, Of
New York, millionaire banker and rail-
road magnate, are spending thir honey
moon in Washington, incidentally waiting
for the indignant parent to relent and
forgive.
But thus far Mr.. Leavitt has maintained
the marble heart and has made no over
lures toward his daughter, who last Sun
day left her home in New York and
skipped with Smollen over to Jersey City.
where the knot was tied. For the last
several months SmolIen had been in
charge OF Mir Leavttt's garage as chauf-
feur.
At the Arlington Hotel. where Mr.. and
Mrs Smollen are staying. they have an
elaborate suite. The bride keeps strictly
10 her apartments and is seldom seen in
the corridors.
Smollen is having a desperate time
avoiding the newspaper men. He keeps
aloof from every one except the hotel
employees, with many of whom he has
made friends. When he leaves the hotel
he goes to a news stand and buys New
York papers, but as yet no hint has been
CLEANED from a news column or from any
other source that the millionaire father
has relented.

ROOSEVELT ON TAFT.
Letters from Africa Indose Actions
Of Present Administration.

According to statements made last
night, letters have been received in
Washington from Col Roosevelt, In which
he discusses the political situation in the
United States.
II was said the former President had
kept himself informed OF political con-
ditions up to late last fall. and that
in his comments he found nothing to
confirm the opinions of some OF his most
enthusiastic followers that President Taft
was making political mistakes.
Colonel Roosevelt, It was said, gave
hearty Endorsement TO President Tafts
action with regard to the tariff and the
sentiments uttered by him on his West
ern trip, even those sentiments which
have provoked adverse comment on the
part Of devoted followers Of the last ad-
ministration in the Middle West.
II was asserted by men who claimed 10
be cognizant OF the contents OF Col.
Roosevelt's communications that he dis
eouraged the efforts OF some OF HIS
friends who had been writing to him TO
find fault with President Taft, and that
he indicated plainly that when he re-
turned to the United States he would not
permit himself TO be used in the pros
pective effort to discredit Mr.. Taft and
his administration.

OTHER RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED
Executive Body FayOrs Limiting Ina

to lie Economical in Matter of APP
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of Employers
Liability Law Discussed at Length.

A resolution pledging the organization g
cooperation with all the forces working
in behalf OF the conservation Of natural
resources OF the United states was
adopted at a meeting yesterday of the
executive council of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
The question OF limiting and regulating
immigration also was taken up Il was
decided to have committee appear be-
fore the Committees on immigration OF
the Senate and House.
Another matter that came up for dis
cussion was that Of employers liability
and workmen's compensation laws. and II
was decided that the bills that the Fed
Grafton should support are those that
eliminate the old conception OF assump-
tion Of risks contributory negligence, and
the waiver Of rights. II is thought that
the workingman should be put in the
same position as any other citizen; If his
own negligence be contributory, then a
suit for damages 10 that extent should
be limited or reduced
In another resolution that was adopted
the opinion is expressed that apprOpria-
tons made by Congress ara TOO large and
that body Is asked to practice the great
est possible economy consistent with the
proper administration Of affairs OF the
government, thereby lessening the taxa
ton and adding 70 the comforts OF the
wage earners. The resolution further
urges that efforts be made TO promote
arbitration among nations. for the adjust
ment OF international questions that
arise and fail Of adjustment through
the usual diplomatic methods.

vey TO the Department Of Commerce and

NATIONS NOT UNITED
Secretary Knox Ignorant of
RusSia-Japan Coalition.
THEIR ATTITUDES SIMILAR
Gives Rise to Suspicion that Secret
Arrangement Has Been Made ReIa-
tive to Manchuria-China, Ger
many, and Great Britain Favor
Secretary KnOx's Proposal.

Secretary of State Knox has received
no information from Tokyo tending TO
show that Japan and Russia have formed
a coalition TO oppose the COnsummation
OF the scheme for the naturalization or
the Manchurian railroads, proposed TO
the powers some weeks ago by Mr.. Knox.
If these two governments have formed
such an agreement. however, 1t would be
no surprise to officers of the State De-
partment Japan and Russia have fol-
lowed similar policies in Manchuria since
the END OF the Russian-Japanese war. In
fact, the similarity of their attitudes to-
ward the various problems developed dur
ing the reconstruction period in Manchu-
ria has given rise 10 suspicion that
they have a secret agreement relating to
Manchuria
Own All Railroads.
Japan and Russia are interested In Mr..
Knox's suggestion for political reasons,
but they also are vitality concerned over
the proposed project because Of the fact
that these two powers own all the i'm
poTtant railroads in Manchuria. The
Russian railroad zone is in the northern
and northwestern part of Manchuria,
while the Japanese own the roads in the
eastern and southern portion. British and
American capitalists have obtained a con-
cession for the construction Of a pro-
posed railroad from Chinchow to Tsitsi-
har with a later extension 10 Aigun.
Construction work upon this road has
not been begun. This railway will be
important because of the fact that It Will
connect with the TTans-Siberian Railroad
at Tsitsihar and divert traffic originating
in Europe and coming over the Trans
Siberian from the South Manchurian
Railroad. which is a japanese concern.
China. Germany. and Great Britain are
disposed favorably toward Mr.. Knox's
proposal. France will follow the lead OF
Russia, as the French government has In
recent years in its policy toward Eastern
questions. Japan and Russia will place
themselves in an unenviable position by
refusing to assent to the neutraliZa-
tiOn scheme.
For Economical Development.
According to State Department lnfor-
nation il is admitted pretty generally
that Mr.. KnoXs suggestion will lead 10
the economical development Of Manehu-
ria. and will also result in an improve
ment In the administration and opera
ton Of the Manchurian railroads.
II Japan and Russia decline TO accept
the naturalization plan. 1t will be re-
garded by the public sentiment Of the
world as admitting that they wish 20
retain possession Of their railroads IN
Manchuria for military and commercial
reasons. to aid in the development Of
their commerce and trade.
In view of the fact that both these
countries have declared in favor of the
open-door policy OF equal opportunity
for all in China, a negative answer 20
Mr.. Knox's suggestion would place them
in an embarrassing position in the eyes
of the world

WINGED all the world that we of the

a proposition, bring to it all of ple
energy, all of the brains and ali of
the other necessary elements OF sue
cess. Her first grand auto races were
the marvel of the people in the thor
oughness of every detail of arrange
ment and in the magnificent success
which attended her initial efforts in
this broadened field. When the sec
ond great series of races were pull
ed off at Brighton Beach and when
death stalked on the course of the
racers in alarming fashion, the busy
business men of Savannah saw theil
opportunity and moved by COM
mendable spirit OF energy and enter
prise the sent delegation of rep
resentative citizens TO New York who
went before the association and
plucked the biggest prize any south
ern city has won in many yea s.
she got those races again. Her COM
mittee came home and all Savannah
joined in the great work of prepar-
ing to care for fifty thousand ylss
ors besides building practically 4
new course, said to be the most 4 :
feet stretch of road in all AmeriG!f
When the people of the country
play host TO Savannah on Friday
and Saturday they will find a state
of preparedness in every detail al
most marvellous. And Savannah VIII
again convince those who are skep-
tical as TO southern energy.
Every citizen of Georgia should
glory in the magnificent accomplish
ment of the great city of Savannah,
for she has tlazed way for otner
cities to follow, her success means
much for the entire south. Her ener-
gy, her enterprise and her confidence
in her own ability should win the
support of the people OF
Georgia and they should move on to
Savannah next week as a matter of
duty as we'll as one of pleasure.
