Social, He SAYS.

OYSTER BAY. Sept H.-oscar Straus,
who has been active for the past few days
for peace by mediation, called at oyster
Bay with Mrs. Straus, and had luncheon
with Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt.
While Mr.. Straus insisted that his visit
was entirely social the fact that he called
upon the Colonel in the thick OF Mr.
Straus' activities for peace. caused COM
ment.
my visit to Sycamore Hill Is simply
and purely a social one. Mr.. Straus and
myself are old friends OF Colonel and
Mrs. Roosevelt" said Mr.. Straus.
Asked If the call did not have some
relations with Mr.. Straus apparent efforts

in an effort to enlist the former President
In the cause of peace mediation, he re-
piled:
Absolutely not. am not here for that
purpose"
Mr.. Straus when asked If. irrespective OF
his visit, it could be assumed he was try
ing TO get Mr. Roosevelt to enter the peace
movement, he insisted 1t was not fair to
make any such inference. He simply re-
fused TO discuss It.
Colonel Roosevelt also refused to dis
cuss the Straus visit.

TROLLEY CAR STRAYS
FROM STRAIGHT PATH
Couldn't Run It and Talk at Same
Time, Says Crew.

A trolley car ran backward on Spruce
street from sith to the great surprise of
the residents of that street this morn
ing
The car was loaded with passengers
and they appeared indignant. The mo-
tornan and conductor explained that
they couldn't run the car and talk at
the same time, so tho riders had to
grit their teeth and wait. The car that
back sided was a Subway Angora
numbered 1920.
This is how It happened. The car Is
supposed TO turn from Spruce street to
Woodland avenue at 37th. But this
morning the car kept on at normal
speed to s4th street.
Passengers who had been riding on this
line for months were somewhat aston
tshed therefore when they were greeted
with change of scenery. Houston Hall
and other nice buildings passed before
them and then some persons asked the
conductor where they were going. He
Informed them that the car was on the
way to the Market street subway. Some
one Informed him that 1t would be a diff
ficult feat OF navigation to reach there
by the route the car was taking. Then
tho conductor stopped the car and held
conference with the motorman. He
was also somewhat puzzled.
Meanwhile there was a deluge OF sug-
gestions and opinions. 1t was finally
decided to run the car back to Thirty
seventh street in order not TO meet other
cars from the opposite direction.
After reaching there the car finally
managed to find the subway by way OF
Woodland avenue and Market street.
