Pittsburg, June 30.-Theodore Roose-
welt delivered tonight the first politi-
cal address that has come from him
since his return from Brazil. 1t was
divided, generally speaking, into three
partisan attack on the Wilson admin
istration, an indictment of bosses
and an exposition of the principles OF
the Progressive party.
The administration tariff laws Col
onel Roosevelt hailed as a colossal
failure, particularly hard upon the
farmer; its antitrust program he
branded as an economic absurdity It's
foreign policy he styled as ''wretched,
but upon this he did not elaborate.
The Democratic tariff, he insisted,
had brought distress upon the nation
had not lowered the cost of living, and
had chiefly benefited foreign rivals of
American business. The solution rest
ed, he argued, in support of the Pro-
gressive movement and the enactment
of laws providing for tariff revision
by a non-partisan commission.
OF the bosses Mr.. Roosevelt said
what he has heretofore-that they
thwarted the rank and file of the Re-
publican party by the nomination OF

Hartford and the Boston & Maine
Railroads was passed to engrossment
late today.
The New Haven Railroad Co, has
given formal notice of its opposition
to the Fisher Ellis bill, because of
the so-called string provision by
which the state reserves the right to
purchase at any time the Boston &
Maine stock held for the New Haven
by the Boston Railroad Holding Co,
comprising 81 per cent. of the total
Boston and Maine issue. The New
Haven Cos opposition Is based on
the claim that retention of the states
right to purchase the stock will de-
preciate its value.

Washington, June 30.-Five
hundred members of the Gen.
eral Federation of Women's
Clubs marched to the White
House today and drew from
President Wilson a final refus-
al to accede to demands that
he support the movement for a
woman suffrage amendment to
the federal constitution.
The President reiterated his
statment to previous delegations
that his party had not en-
bodied this question in its plat
form and that for the first
time, announced his personal
conviction that the suffrage is
sue was one for settlement by
the states and not by the fed

Portland, Me-, June S0.-Objection to
the probating of the will of the late
Franklin Simmons, the world famous
sculptor, was made in the probate
court of Cumberland county today on
the ground that the document did not
conform to the form prescribed for
Photographic will by the Italian code
in that the day of the month was not
mentioned in the date. BY the terms Of
the will the bulk of the testator's es-
tate, which consists wholly of per-
sonal property amounting to $4,000,
was bequeathed to the city of Port
land for the purpose of establishing
in this city THE Franklin Simmons
Memorial which should consist of
museum for the exhibition of his
works of art. The DIRECTORS of the pro-
bate of the will are nine of the tesla
tors cousins living in Maine and
Massachusetts. The 10th cousin, Judge
Augustine Simmons of North Arson,
was a beneficiary under the will and
had also been appointed administrator
before the will was discovered. The
will, which was written and signed
IN the testator's own hand and was
lated Rome, April 1913,' also in the
fstator's hand. Evidence was pre-
Snted showing that the testator
chimed residence in Portland although
nd had lived in Rome for 40 years and
thlt he was of sound mind and COM
petnt to make will. The directors
waived the question of residence and
competency but claimed that under
the Ntalian code a Photographic to be
valid must contain the date in full in
the Rndwriting of the testator This
was he only point raised and testi-
mony Twas submitted bearing on this
point. THE petitioners and the object
ors wfe given until July 20 to file
their hiefs when the arguments will

Women Disappointed

The women went away plainly dis
appointed, some of them talking of
immediate action against the Demo-
cratic party. Headed by such leaders
as Mrs. Ellis Logan, Mrs Harvey w.
Wiley, Mrs. Rheta Chile Dorr and
Miss Alice Paul, they had marched to
the White House with bands playing
and banners flying. They massed them
selves in the historic East room,
many carrying babies, who added to
the unusual scene by cooling or cry
ing.
Once inside the White House, the
women made no demonstrations and
allowed their leaders to do all the
talking. There was no applause as the
President entered the East room ac-
companied by Col. Harris. his military
aide, in full dress uniform.

The conference WITH begin tomorrow

not certain what may develop. they
expect the resolution announcing it
to be the sense of sthe party in the
Senate to put through trust legisla-
ton before adjournment to be adopted
without prolonged discussion. It's
adoption will bind Democratic sena-
tors.
No Definite Plan
No attempt is to be made by lead
ess to outline a definite plan for leg
islation. One trust bill is still in the
judiciary committee another in the
hands of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. There Is no prospect of
an early report on other, and leaders
do not wish to ask FOR action upon a
plan of legislation until these COM
mittees have acted.
