Every summer that he brings them home the president is obliged to engage in a regular warfare with those well-meaning persons who all uncon- sclously are doing their utmost to defeat his plans. First and foremost is the photographer who is attempt- ing to “nap” the children at every turn of the road; then there ts the enthusiastic writer for the magazine or newspaper who has been sent to the president's town to “get a story about the Roosevelt kids;" and last, but a long way removed from least, is the gushing tourist who comes to “have a look.” “If my children are photographed and written up every time they walk into the village or appear on the roads they'll soon lose their natural- ness and will grow up with false ideas of their proper sphere,” said | the president in discussing the mat- fer the other day to a friend “They'l soon think that they are personages of a great deal of im- portance, when quite the reverse in the fact. 1 want them to be and act like the children of any other Amer- ican citizen.

Jennie Hodge, wife of Deputy Sheriff “Bob” Hodge, of Black Dia- mond, wore a beautiful gold wateh, bearing her Initials, on a strong chain, about ber neck, and a strong gold pin was aiso used to make the jeweled timepiece the more secure. When the game was over and Mra. Hodge had made her way to the gate she minsed the watch and a thorough search of the grounds was made, but without avail. It ix thought some thief with a pair of sharp nippers cut the chain and managed to unfasten the pin while Mra. Hodge was absorbed in the ball game. SMITH REPLIES In reply to the charge of several residents along Green river that | the county commissioners were neg- lectful of their duty fn failing to protect the trout in the stream from the deluge of coal dust and refuse from the Franklin coal mines, Coun- ty Commissioner Smith said Satur- day morning: “Those Franklin mines employ all the way from 500 to 1,000 men and the dust and refuse must go some- where. It is a great big industry that means a whole lot to the part | of the county, and only a very poor trout stream is spotled by the coal dumpings. Anybody who has a rievance has full recourse at law county commissioners to start in any restraining process. The com- minsioners, so far, have received no forma! _complaint, any wa TWENTY MURDE RED.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Aug. 7.— | What promises to be the most im- portant convention in the history of |the International Brotherhood of Teamsters opened in this city today, the sessions being held in Odd Fel- lows hall. As a result of the failure of the great strike of teamsters in | Chicago, there is considerable dis: affection in the ranks of the organ- i pramsesnon and it is probable that the convention will take action that will cause a general upheaval among the present officers and leaders of the brotherhood. Talks among the dele- gates indicate that this shaking up may g0 80 far as to force out Presi- dent Shea and his associates and the inauguration of a new regime. The convention will be in session about ten day: WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 7.— The Amalgamated Sheet Metal Workers, one of the strongest labor organizations in America, assem- bled in special convention here to- day for a session of one week. One of the most important questions to be considered by the convention is the death benefit COWES, Aug. 7—The week's yachting opened with dull weather in the presence of the king, who is responsible for the presence of large crowds of fashionable people, Steamer je left Fri- day night for Skagway and way ports with 162 passengers, a full load All were Eastern tourists making the round trip.

OAST FURTH PRESIDENT OF SEATTLE ELEC- TRIC COMPANY 1S CHARGED WITH HOLDING UP WEST« LAKE IMPROVEMENTS To discuss means of preventing ~ the council from granting am ex- clusive street car franchise on West- lake avenue, the Westlake Imsrove- ment club will meet next Thursday at 1607 Westlake. i Members of the club hi already printed a circular in which they set forth the reasons why the im- poten thoroughfare should be left open for either a municipal or com- petitive street car line. The demand of the Seattie electric octopus for an exclusive franchise is declared to be arrogant in view of the fact that it has been doiag all in its power to retard the im- provement and to keep even its own property from realizing the increase in value that the other property owners are forcing on it. Jacob Furth, president of the Se sitle Electric company. is “Dawled cut” in plain language, the charge being made that he is using his tn- fluence to prevent the development of the Westlake business district because he and his friends have their personal real estate holdings in the “traditional” business dis- trict around Pioneer square, z It is stated that when Furth was asked to sign the petition for the grading of Westlake he replied that be was fully satisfied with the pres ent “sig-zag yankway” through the valley and “would delay the opening ~ and grading of Westlake avenue as long as possible’ The company maintained this attitude until the Moore-Gilman application for @ franchise. ern THE COMMONWEAL?IH HAS A NEW EDITOR The weekly Commonwealth ap- peared Saturday in a new form and with an abundance of live ae % matter.

SLAUGHTER IN CHINATOWN NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—As the re- sult of a Tong war held in a Chin- ese theater Saturday night, three inamen lie dead at the morgue, many others are wounded, while a half hundred Celestials languish in jail, The aggressing Tong de- liberately picked out the theater as the place of slaughter, and, tak- ing rear seats, waited until the pro- gram was well under way, Then they opened fire directly into the crowd, using giant firecrackers and 45-caliber revolvers, The strenuous efforts of the police prevented much greater loss of life. All Chinatown is wild with excitement. Nervy Hold-U GAZELLE, Cal., Aug.
