PRIVACY PLEA
VOICED BY SON
OF PRESIDENT
Elliott Roosevelt Driven to
Distraction by Pry-
ing Throng.
GIRL ALSO Is ANNOYED
Crowds Flock to Hotel and
EmbarraSS Couple by
Queries.
BY PAUL III. KARNES
United Press staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, July 20.-In a plain
tive plea, Elliott Roosevelt, tall,
handsome second son of the Presi-
dent begged for privacy today, that
he might pursue his personal life
without a horde Of citizens at his
heels
Irritated and embarrassed by the
persistent reports that he planned
an early marriage TO Miss Ruth
Googins, Fl Worth society belle,
Elliott reiterated his denials, but
admitted deep admiration for
the slim southern girl.
Am l to be prevented from en-
ioying the company of worthy
friends because of e gossiping pub
llc?" he asked.
To-day I wanted Miss Googins to
accompany me to the fair, but she
left her hotel suite and couldn't
make her way back through the
throng crowded about the entrances.
l don't know where to reach her
now.
AT other times she remains in
doors with her mother rather than
risk embarrassment at the hands of
amateur photographers, who ask her
TO pose"
Pleads for Chance
Roosevelt explained that he may
find 1t necessary to cut short his
Chicago visit TO obtain the privacy
he desires and to prevent further
embarrassment TO Miss Googins.
I'm called the fortunate son of
President" he said. but TO have
an illustriouS father often is a hard
ship when one wants to pursue his
private life without prying eyes and
gosSiping tongues. II even hurts
in business life.
I'm out on my own, but many
business prospects have been ruined
because of the quick insinuations
that those doing business with me
hoped for presidential favors from
father.
Il thought the public might re-
member that soon after father was
elected I rejected an advertising job
with a fat salary because l wanted
to make my own way. But even
now they see something sinister in
every move 1 make"
Begs for Seclusion
Young Roosevelt breathed SINGER
ity as he shook his blond head in
denial of the rumored marriage. His
blue eyes beseechingly asked for
the seclusion that will permit pur-
suit of his own desires unhampered.
Please" he begged the crowd that
obtrusively Surged into his hotel
suite. leave me alone. Let me go
to the fair and enjoy the freedom
I'm entitled to. And if l want Miss
Googins' company, please don't en-
barrass her by asking when she's GO
ing to marry me. Even if wanted
to. I haven't had a chance to ask
her. But if that should ever come
about, I'll tell the world in plenty
of time"

Work Camp Outlook
 Still Tn Do u b t

Doubt as to whether the To- cal E. c. w. work camp can be continued after October 31 is expressed by w. J. Mcdonald, forest service inspector, in a letter received by the Hyder Chamber of Commerce.
 MT. McDonald's letter, dated October 5, is a reply to the re- cent petition of the Chamber urging that the camp be con tuned during the winter months under the order of President Roosevelt extending the emer- gency relief work of the E. C. W camps an additional six months after October 31.
 MT. Mcdonald stated, how ever, that it might be possible that snow conditions would permit some work to be done along the Salmon river high way as late as November 18th.
 Any extension of the camp activities beyond October 31 will have to be approved by Mir. Flory, regional forester, to whom the petition had been forward e d, MT. Mcdonald said.
 MT. Mcdonald expressed the hope that he will be able to visit Hyder before the end of October, but said he might be prevented from doing so by press of business elsewhere.

Joe Jackson Again
 In News Spotlight

Joe Jackson, former local resident and probably the most colorful figure that this dist rict has so far developed, is back in Seattle after a season of mining in the Cassiar dist rict, and is, as usual, very much in the spotlight. Joe believes he has located the old channel on Thibert creek in the Cass- far and claims that with six men working he recovered enough gold during the past summer to make him feel that his facetiously bestowed title of Millionaire Kid" will not be inappropriate.
 He illustrated a recent talk before the Seattle Mining Club with two reels of motion pict- | ures of his operations.
