Oyster Bay,5 June 12-Co1. Roose- welt spent the Sunday of a beaten man -despondent, morose and incommun- icative-cloRing the gates of Sagamore Hill to newspaper men for the first time since hek entered the imehght of politics whens he became New York S Police Com mzssi oner.
 Several of the correspondents here have known the Colonel for many years-some ofFthem have accompan- jed him on his trips throughout the country-but hel would see none of them yesterday, $and when finally one called him up by telephone from Oyster Bay Inn, ,she answered the wire, but gruffly.
 fesI will make no% statement he said, and his voice carried the stern convic- ton for which the. newspaper men know him. T ~SVIE1. answer no ques- tions. I am out of politics.
 And he hung upAthe receive.
 The only callers were a few neigh bors, who paid theirfcustomary Sunday morning respects. The Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt arose early and went to Christ Episcopal Church. There was no dem emonstrationAwhen he stepped from his automobile. He looked pale through his coat of tan, and his crows feet told of s1eepness nights.
 He bowed to few acquaintances- After the service. when1he started bRck for Sagamore Hill in his car, man on the walk yelled out a parting Hello Colonel" but he simply raised his sombrero and waved it in Rough Rider fashion. His familiar smile was missing.
 Fully TOO telegrams were received by him during the day. Some were from Progressives urging him to make his race; many from Hughes men inploring him for his support; some protested against his failure to ac- cept the nomination of his party, while others were from ''hero worshippers'' who always had admired the Colonel for what he did, for what he failed to do or what he refused to do. A few approved of his action in declining the candidacy

 BILLIARD co.
Mrs. J. Ringstone, 236 Noun tain Grove Street, Gan Now Enjoy Her Meals and Is Happy.

The old adage that the rich man lives to eat and the poor man eats to live may be true, but it is a fact that neither one can enjoy life with a stomach that will not make one happy to eat or the other to eat to live as indigestion will put them on the same plane of misery. Mi. Ringstone says regarding Lax-a-Tone:
 "*My wife has been troubled with indigestion, gas on her stomach, no appetite, was tired and run down TOT the past year. &1e started using Lax a-Tone and much to her surprise is able to eat fried fish, something she has not done for a long time with great distress She is gaining in weight, feels fine and I wish to highly endorse Lax-a-Tone for the great good it has done my wife,.

Crowd Well Pleased By Stage Employees
 Big Entertainment

Local No 1o9 of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employes presented an entertainment last even ing at the Plaza theatre for the ben eft of the locals sick fund. It wouldn't t be a bit untrue to say that the enter tainers gave the audience as. pleasant an evening as they have enjoyed in a long time.
 Every act was a winner and the ap- plause for some of them was ended only by the exigencies of time. New York booking offices sent a choice col lection of laugh producers to this city to aid the alliance members.

Chicago, June 12-The hysteria which followed the Adjournment of the Progressive National Convention Saturday largely disappeared with the departure of the infuriated delegates. But George w. Perkins, Oscar S.. Straug. Clifford Pinchot, Bainbridge Colby and others remained over in Chicago, and there have been numer- ous conferences between them.
 Mr. Perkins has let his friends know that, while he deeply regrets the refusal of the Republicans to /norninate Roosevelt, he feels well sat- isfed with the Republican platform anl looks on Hughes as perhaps "the next best to the Colonel as a Presi- dentia1 candidate. This also is the view of MT. Str.~us, William n. Childs and other Progressive leaders.
 Some of the radicals, however, sym pathize deeply with the great body of delegates. They find no fault with those disappointed Progressives who have been 'cussing out the Colonel in such scathing terms as few public men have ever had applied to them.
 Seek Vengeance on T.s R.
 Many of these delegates, while only a week ago anxious to combine with the Republicans on anything tc beat Wilson basis, are returning to theirl homes witb their feelings to- ward Wilson softened. A week ago they were confident that Roosevelt would be nominated for President by a reusited party. Today they accuse the Colonel of treachery to the party which he formed in 1912, and are vow ing vengeance against him.
 None of the Progressive leaders, big or little, has a doubt that Roosevelt ultimately will make a final and for , nal refusal to run for President on the Progressive ticket. Convinced that this is so, they now feel certain i that his one desire is the election of Hughes.
 A whole lot of thse delegates de- clare that. having been deserted by the Colonel when slapped in the face by the Republicans, they cannot longer follow his leadership or accept his sug-

The Dunn Sisters were well applauded. King and Harvey's S comedy talk was a scream. The Old Time Darkies' imitation of a steam caliope brought down the house. Hoyt, Manion and Hyams were very funny and the Absolam Shariff Arabs were a revelation. Naked Hearts, a five part feature film, topped a great show.
