ROOSEVELT URGED
T0BACK WHITMAN
Friends of District Attorney
Want Him Nominated
for Governor.

OYSTER BAY. n. Y. June 26.-Not-
withstanding Col. Roosevelts assertion
yesterday that the progressive party
would not indorse District Attorney
Charles S. Whitman of New York for
governor. another effort was made today
to persuade him to look with favor upon
the district attorney as a possible pro-
gressive candidate.
Charles H. Duell jr.. of New York. or
ganizer OF the nonpartisan Whitman
League. came here post haste today and
endeavored to induce the colonel to leave
the door open for Mr.. Whitman, pro-
vided it should be shown that the atti
tude of the district attorney toward what
Col. Roosevelt styles the Barnes ma
chine was satisfactory to the progress
i've party. Mr.. Duell left Sycamore Hill
with no assurance that Col. Roosevelt
would change his position.
Still Hope He Will Run.
Col Roosevelt made it clear that he
had not been able to convince the New
York progressive leaders that he would
not run for governor, despite his re-
peated assertion to that effect.
II have already stated my position, -
he said. There is nothing more for me
to say at this time
1t was apparent. however. that he ex-
pected to have to fight it all out moro
than once again.
The former President. accompanied by
his son Archie, took today his first horse
back ride since his return from Europe.
The colonel was mounted on Sirdar. his
favorite riding horse. and said it was
mighty good to be there.
AS he cantered down the hill. his face
flushed. waving his hand in farewell. he
gave every appearance of being physical
ly fit.
Col Roosevelt explained before he rode
of that he felt one regret that he had
not the time to go into the bayfield, with
his men, as he used to do. He inhaled
the fresh air. perfumed by the fresh cut
grass and shook his head in reminis-
cent way.
..rd like to get out there with the men
and help get in the hay he said, but
don't believe l can make it.
Col. Roosevelt will leave Tuesday for
Pittsburgh. where he will speak that
night.

Shipped to Newfoundland
Until July II.

HAMMONDSPORT, n. Y.s June 90
The definite announcement yesterday
that the transatlantic aeroplane Ameri-
lea would not be shipped to Newfound-
land until July II means that the flight
to Europe cannot begin about the mid
die of July. as had been planned. 1t will
tax four five days to make the trip
from New York to Newfoundland by
steamer. and then the assembling of
the machine and further trials will de-
lay the oversee fight until July % or ~.
The delay in shipping the machine, It
is said, is due to the fact that Glenn H.
Curtiss. her constructor. wishes 10 eN-
pertinent with new auxiliary hydro
planes.
1t was reported here today that if the
America is not in perfect trim by the
end of July Lieut.. John &. Porte, who

the benefit of the full moon while flying

of Appeals would be in order.
Until l have had opportunity to
consult with Mr.. Ralston do not care
to make any comment on the outcome
of the case said Commissioner New
man this afternoon. "Of course. an
appeal will be taken at once. and pend
ing the final decision, which may be
that of the Supreme Court of the
charge the duties of a Commissioner
of the District of Columbia
Must Be Actual Resident.
IAN appointee to the Office of civil
Commissioner must be an actual resident
here for three years Immediately preced-
ing his appointment" declared Judge
could in charging the jury. 1T requires
more than a constructive or legal resi-
dence: he must have had personal pres
ence here. Mere physical presence, how
ever is not sufficient. but must be ac-
comDanicd by intention of being a resi-
dent and not claiming residence else
where"
Justice Gould held that when Mr.. New
man arrived here in 1910 he began an
actual residence which continued until
July, 1871, when he accepted employment
in Chicago. If his intention to return
is not ne:,atived by his activities in the
places visited he might be considered not
to have abandoned that actual residence
Ii they were such as TO amount to an
abandonment of intention of returning,
then his actua, residence in the District
terminated when Mr.. Newman Went to
Chicago.
This is the sole question for your de-
termination" said Justice Gould.
Nov, | take i, the purpose OF the act
in question was to require that the ci-
william Commissioner for three years next
prior to his appointment must have been
a resident OF the District in both senses
He should have been legal resident
and ar actual res dent. SO that in addition
to his mere lesa, claim OF residence he
should also actually have resided here for
th.. period of three years. This does not
preclude him absenting himself from the
District during said three years for rea-
sonabie periods. either for business or
pleasure, provided there existed in his
mind the intention to return and to con-
tinue the District as his actual place of
residence and not to make another juris-
diction his residence"

Calderon should reach here today from
Saltillo, where he had been in close touch
with constitutionalist affairs. If plans
for the conference are finished it is
probable that the Carranza delegation
will leave here for some point on the
Canadian border, II not for Niagara Falls,
early next week.
Two of the South American ENJOYS
were to be absent from Niagara for
several days. but Minister Naon Of Ar
gentina, and the American and Hureta
delegates remained. The program for
the informal conference contemplated
separate meetings between the Huerta
and Carranza delegates. but it was con-
sidered not improbable that Justice
Lamar and Frederick W. Lehman
frequently would talk with the Car
rama representatives.

could bring Winifred back with u.s.
Helen hesitated. She felt that War
ren's idea was better one than hers,
and yet the two weeks at the Seaview
seemed to stretch out endlessly before
her. She felt somehow that Warren
couldn't understand how she felt.
With bitter resentment at the fact
that he was man and could not I'M
derstand just how she felt in the
matter, she hardly gave him credit
for caring for Winifred at all as a
father should. She felt somehow in
the anguish of the moment that he
might have offered to spend his va
cation with her parents, and yet she
knew that there would not be change
enough in a vacation of that Sort
1T isn't as if she were older" said
Warren, breaking in on her thoughts
suddenly. She has done we'll so far,

But Warren don't you understand
that l really want Winifred? l don t
want to wait month or two. I'll
write mother to bring her on, if
you're not willing that l should go
out alone"
"1ts funny, isn't it, that you didn't
think of all this before You get a
letter from your mother and your
conscience smarts a little in conse-
quence, so you have to go to work
and raise a perfect devil of a fuss
just to get your own way about
things"
Warren, you're unfair; you know
that isn't true" and Helen on the
verge of tears got up and left the
room suddenly. In her own room
she took her mothers letter out of
the drawer and hastily skinned it
over. "Winifred sends love to her
mummie," were the last words and
then large round wabbly circle
meant to indicate kiss. She thought
bitterly of Warren's last words-he
was bitterly unfair.
When had she tried to shirk her
duty as regards Winifred? How many
times had she spoken about having
the child home only to be silenced by
Warren's many arguments for leaving
here where she was? Oh, it was I'M
bearable. She wondered vaguely how
she had been silenced for so long, why
she had gone on with the general run
of life while her little girl was far
away from her. She remembered how
she had hated leaving Winifred even
to go abroad.
And then when she and Warren re-
turned the child had not been well
and they had thought it best to keep
her out of New York for the Winter.
Perhaps Warren didn't want to be
bothered with Winifred, she reflected
with a start But no, that couldn't be
possible. She couldn't be unfair to
him even then.
Would you like to read the letter."
she said, as she walked back to the
living room just as if nothing had hap
pened. Warren scrutinized her close
ly as she paused for minute by his
chair. Then he took the letter and
began to read it without word about

anything. Afterward he put it down,
still without speaking.
Il shall run out to see mother as
soon as we get back from your vaca-
tlon,' she said, with sudden decision,
and then: "You know, Warren, that l
have spoken of having Winifred home
many times before now"
iii take few days off the first
week in September" he said, speaking
gruffly, land We'll go out together"
Helen could hardly believe her ears.
She might have known that Warren
didn't mean what he said
why, DEAR she said, slipping an
arm around his neck impulsively,
that will be wonderful, if you think
you can really spare the time"
"All right he growled, shaking off
her arm impatiently. you always do
have your own way about everything"
