COLONEL ROOSEVELT

Friends at Oyster Bay Say He
Considers JuriSt'S "Flag
Speech" as SideStepping the
Real Issues
(By Associated Press. }

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, June while
Colonel Roosevelt refrains from making
any public statement officially disclos-
ing his real attitude toward the political
situation in Chicago, 1t Is well known
to his tntimates here that he is opposed
to the nomination Of Justice Hughes
and It is their confident belief that If
Justice Hughes is nominated Colonel
Roosevelt will himself become a candi-
date.
Colonel Roosevelt, It is we'll under
stood, is not satisfied with Justice
Hughes so-called flag speech" which
he is said to regard as merely fourth
of JULY address not disclosing the JUS
tees attitude toward the real issues Of
the day.
In the words Of his followers here the
colonel regards the speech as further
evidence Of pussy footing" to which
attitude he is opposed IN the present cri-
sis in the country's affairs
Colonel Roosevelt, 1t is known, feels
better today in regard to his own chances
toward being nominated than at any 9TH
er time. His followers look for broad
side from him within day or two which
they say will be calculated to eliminate
Justice Hughes and any other candidate
whom the colonel regards as represent
ing the pussy foot" idea. The colonel
feels, they say, that if the Republicans
have made up their minds to nominate
a man representing this idea, the one
thing left for him to do is to run himself
in order to bring before the people the
issua IF Observation-Disclosures Ameri-

NEEDED AMUSEMENT.

1t is stated in one of the consular
reports that at the time of the revo-
lutionary troubles in Russia about
ten years ago, the Oryekhovo mill
district was center of anarchlstic
disturbance. The management came
to the conclusion that the trouble
with their employees was mainly lack
of wholesome and proper amusement,
and by supplying amusements, espe-
cially by encouraging sports, they
have made the employees much more
loyal and law abiding. The old
strike spirit seems to have disap-
peared. These mills are now noted
for their athletic teams, and have
caused athletic organizations to be
formed all over Russia. About sixty
football teams, for instance, have
been formed throughout Russia, the
one at Oryekhovo, the first to be or
gained, being the model, with Eng
lish association football rules in
force.

SEEKS CURATE AS HUSBAND
Remarkable Offer Made to London
Clergyman by Widow Of Wealth
and Standing.

The curate of certain parish in
the East end Of London has had a
singular offer made to him by lady
of wealth, relates London Tit-Bits.
The lady, widow, who has been ac-
quainted with the curate for some
time, evidently formed a strong in
fatuation for him, and on one con-
dition she said she would provide
him with a living worth f312 a year.
For this purpose she was prepared to
put down $4,000 at once, and in ad-
dition to provide for the reverend
gentleman and her doughter (who is
at present at school) in the event of
anything happening to her. The one
condition the widow made was that
the curate should marry her. This
offer, however, has been declined,
for, although he has known the lady
some time as a friend, he has no
warmer affection for her.
