oyster Bay, n. Y, July l7.-C. P.
Connolly. a well known New Jersey
Progressive, came down to assure
Colonel Roosevelt to-day that he had
not heard the sage of Sycamore Hill
refer to Charles Z. Hughes as a pos
shle gold brick when ne. the Colonel
and J. A. Hopkins were discussing the
Republican candidate a few days ago.
Mr. Connolly said Mr.. Hopkins's ver-
sion. as recorded in the newspapers,
was entirely false. but the Colonel
refused to discuss the matter any
further.
The Colonel's visitor also impaired
some news about Jersey politics. Last
Saturday the state committee voted TO
repudiate the Progressive National
Committees Endorsement of Mr.
Hughes Mr. Connolly informed Colo.
mel Roosevelt that the state commit.
tees action would not be considered
binding upon a majority of the New

Richards met the former convict in
New York and was persuaded TO see
Mr.. Osborne. Going out OF the ordl-

with the New York and Baltimore po-
lice authorities. Richards was his
secretary and he deemed II proper that
the man should come voluntarily 20

Mr.. Bonsal felt so disposed.

Telegraphers Draw Par

TO SUM UP WAGE
DISPUTE TO-DAY
Increase About a Third of That
Asked Granted on Part
of Lines.

The railroad telegraphers' wage dis

the question whether it is preferable
to be a school teacher earning $50 a
month, In Bay Village. Ohio. or Bird

day. every day in the year. II the
company pays your travelling ex-
penses.
But this was only one problem. An
other referred to was Rule No. 10, for
the guidance Of railroad telegrapherrs
on the Grand Trunk road. This rule
raises the question whether tele-
grapher IL merely a manipulator OF
dots and dashes or e man of all work.
Shall ne be paid for clearing the snow
from the station platform, shifting the
waiting room floor and disinfecting the
stock cars, besides looking after the
pump and switch lights? No solution
was reached.
II. B. Perham, Of st. Louis, presi-
dent OF the Order Of Railroad Tele-
graphers, suggested this proposition
Two commercial telegraphers can send
sixty 25-cent messages an hour, there
by earning for the company SIS. De-
duct 81 for overhead charges, etc. Mr..
Perham. continuing, said: Suppose
each man received 81 each hour for
his work. can you think Of any other
employer of labor who can make as
much as Sc an hour out Of an en-
ploye?'
The question remained unanswered.
