Consulted by Roosevelt.

When Theodore Roosevelt was presi
dent he often consulted Theodore e
Burton, particularly on matters of con
Bervation. Roosevelt appointed Bur
ton chairman of the inland waterways
commission, and the senator was after
ward chairman of the national water
ways commission, both having for
their object the conservation of the
waters of the country to be used fol
irrigation and navigation. Roosevelt
and Burton did not always agree. bu;
the president had a profound respect
for Burton's opinion and advice.

HUMAN SIDE Of
SENATOR BURTON
Many Anecdotes Related Of the
Ohio Statesman.

One result of Senator Theodore E.
Bnrton's being mentioned so promi-
nently in the papers is that several
times each week he receives letters
from college and high school students
in different parts of the country ask
ing him to help them in preparation
for debates. He always makes it a
rule when his engagements will per
NIT to help students by suggesting ar
guments and giving them the results
OF his public service. However, a few
days ago he received a letter from a
student in a normal school in one of
the northern states suggesting a most
interesting arrangement. The young
lady wrote hin that she was about to
enter a prize contest and she had
chosen for her subject a question on
which he was regarded as a particular
authority. She proposed hat if he
would write her essay and it was
awarded the prize she would divide it
with him fifty-ifty. He sent her his
regrets that he was unable to accept
her proposition.
Senator Burton is a p%rodigious work
er, and the light in his study can al
ways be seen burning far into the
small hours of the night. He says that
he Is able to pursue his studies to these
late hours by always retiring for an
hour late in the afternoon.
One afternoon President Taft want
ed to consult with Senator Burton on
the telephone and was connected with
the Rochambeau exchange. The Ro-
chambeau operator informed the presi-
dent of the United States that Senator
Burton was asleep and she could not
disturb him.
Mr.. Taft replied, But this is Presi
dent Taft. who wants to speak to Sen
ator Burton"
b answered: Il can't help it. j
couldn't call him even if it were the
king of England"
President Taft told this story on Mr.
Burton at the next White House din
ner that Mr.. Burton attended.
Senator Burton is a practical anti
race suicidist. IneXplicable to his
friends as it is that he has never mar
ried he is the personification of devo
ton and tenderness to children.
When he was in the senate he had
an appointment to a position at his
disposal. There was a score of appli
cants. Out of the number he selected
for appointment a man with a family
of seven children.
"The man needs it," said the sena
tor. He is doing more for his coun
try and the next generation than any
of u.s."
Senator Burton, who cannot bring
himself to stick to the principle of or
ganized charity as against open hand
ed, indiscriminate giving, but who has
a firm determination not to be imposed
upon, recently had this experience
He was accosted by a man who de
elared he was hungry and needed a
quarter. Senator Burton replied: my
friend, l don't want to see any man
go hungry. Just come with me to Il
restaurant and | will buy you some
thing to eat"
Jaw, l want a quarter; | don't want
none of your charity the man replied

Braves Field. Boston. Mass, Oct. T.
Fighting a sensational ninth inning
rally by the Dodgers and outplaying
their National league rivals at nearly
every stage of the game, the Boston
Red Sox forged to the front this after
noon In the battle for the worlds base
ball championship. The American
league champions downed the National
titleholders from Brooklyn, 6 to s.
1t was only by the skin of their teeth
that the worlds champions who laid
low the Philly National leaguers a
year ago. saw victory perch on their
dugout. The Dodgers lived UP to their
great hitting reputation and almost
slugged their way to triumph in the
closing innings. Ernie Shore had al
lowed only seven hits and one run
when he faced the invaders for the
ninth inning. Then the Dodgers chased
him to the shower with three well
placed blows and a hit batsman. To
help things along. Harold Janvrin,

with loud roar and the Red Sox sent
around three runs in the seventh and
another in the eighth.

Rube Marquard stood out all over the
field. At crucial moments tho fielding
of the Red Sox was absolutely alright
except for the one slip committed by
Janvrin.
One of the largest crowds that ever
saw a professional baseball game was
expected to gather in the huge Braves
field for the conflict but the turnstiles
did not show It, The attendance was
announced at 36.117. For the
first game in Boston last year t2aoo
