MISTAKE 1T
FOR RED. LIGHT
DISTRICT

Learning that dozens OF young
couples-and for that matter also old
ones-who as the poet says, "love
not wisely but too well" had evident
ly mistaken the beautiful state house
grounds for a restricted district, and
besides desecrating the grounds,
were shocking those who live on
life's higher plane or who have
reached that age when their blood
has come down to a January flow
and their sins deserted them, Secre-
tary of State 0lcott yesterday after
noon turned his attention long
enough from the complex and intri-
cate affairs of state to call a stem
clyrapher and dictate to the newspa-
pers an interview saying that such
conditions would no longer be toler-
ated. He might, of course, have di-
rected an officer to take up position
under the bright stars and keep eter-
nal vigilance over the grounds, but
the secretary of state is believer in
publicity-believes 1t will cure all
evils and hence the interview.
Now from the time that the mem
ory of man runneth not to the con-
trary" as the law writer's say, these
same conditions have probably ex-
listed at the state house grounds
From that time also complaints have
probably rolled into the office of the
secretary of state and gone unheed-
ed, but not so with Olcott. Desiring
to be satisfied of the truth of them
the other evening he and a portion Of
the Office force turned detectives and
in their wanderings they found beer
parties and several couples acting
unwisely. That was enough for him.
The question was how to bring about
a cessation of the affairs, and the an
swer came in moment-publicity,
and the next step was easy, just die
tate an interview and hand 1t out to
the news-mongers.
The gardener stotes to the secre-
tary of state that to such extent has
the evil grown that even during the
day time he has found 1t necessary
to lying the hose into use to make
couples vacate the grounds.

HE FOUND A
WIFE IN THE
RAGING SURF

Venice, CAL, Aug. 5.-Culminating
a pretty romance, when the groom
to-be dragged Ruth Taggart from
watery grave in the surf, came the
announcement today of the approach
ing nuptials between Miss Taggart
and Barney McGilL member of the
Venice lifesaving squad.
"Chick" McGill, as the prospective
groom is more familiarly known, is
college man, who, in want of a
better way of spending his summer,
and at the same time providing the
necessary money for his course at
college, is acting as a lifesaver on
the beach, rescued Miss Taggart from
the water month ago, after she had
gone down for the third time.

.BEACHY The
WINNER OF
FLYING RACE

Trenton, N. j., Aug. 5.-Reports re-
ceived here today state that one of
the three aeroplanes entered in the
New Philadelphia race fell
while flying over Runyon's woods, at
Milestone Junction, east of New
Brunswick, N. ]. Another is report
ed to have alighted at Franklin Park,
South Brunswick, and the third to
have reached the regular stopping
place at Whitehead Mills. 1t is not
known which of the three aviators-
Beachey, Ely or Robinson-exper-
fenced the fall, but it is thought that
Ely is the one who reached White
head Mills.
Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 5.-The
first of three aeroplanes which left
New York today on race here for a
prize offered by department store,
passed over the city hall at 4:4S
o'clock.
Beachey was the winner, his ma
chine having covered the distance in
two hours fiat, 10 minutes slower
than the time made by Aviator Ham
ilton on his recent fight.

TAFT MAY YET
VISIT COAST

Washington, Aug. 5.-That Presi-
dent Taft may visit the West this
fall, despite earlier announcements
to the contrary, was the burden of a
White House statement today
The president, it is intimated, has
arranged two tentative itineraries.
One is for a six-weeks' trip to the
coast. The other makes Hutchinson,
Kansas, the westernmost point he
will visit. No definite decision as to
which route will prevail has yet
| been reached.
