insurgent. The insurgents and
standpatters divided the results gen
erally about half and half.
Theodore Roosevelt sent a tele
gram to Lloyd C. Griscom, chairman
of the republipan county committee
of New York, urging the passage of
the Cobb direct nomination bill. The
telegram, it is said, seriously upset
things.
The Omaha police board fssued an
order notifying the Salvation Army
that it must close its meetings at 10
o'clock at night. The members of
the board say they acted on th.e com
plaint of people 'living near .the Sal
vation Army hall. An officer inter
rupted the prayer meeting and or
dered the participants to disperse.
They protested but were forced to
obey.
John A. Mead, lieutenant governor
of Vermont, has been nominated for
governor by the -republican state
convention.
New Jersey's new niarriage law
has gone into effect. The Associat
ed Press describes the new law in
this way: "The new law requires
that the marriage license be obtained
in the place where the bride-elect
resides, unless she be a non-resident
,6f .-New- Jersey. In the latter case
theJicense niust be obtained in the
home town of the bride-groom elect.
Jf both are non-residents, the license
must be obtained in 'the place where
the ceremony is t& 'be performed.
The law provides that before a mar
riage license shq.ll be- issued, the
-person issuing it shall require one
"of the contracting parties to sub
scribe' to an oath" or affirmation, at
testing the truth of the facts respect
ing 5the legality of the prdposed mar
rlag"e and the license shall be issued
.only if it 'be made to appear that no
legal impediment exists. The appli
cant must swear that neither party

uberance of their feelings. They
seem utterly oblivious of the fact
that there were others present. 'It
used to be Mr. President and 'Will'
didn't it?' the colonel cried in his
old familiar high-pitched voice, 'but
now it's Mr. President and Theodore.'
The two friends meeting after six
teen months of separation with all
the warmth that used to characterize
their association in Washington,
slapped each other again on arms and
shoulders. And so it went through
out the afternoon. When Colonel
Roosevelt was president and Mr.
Taft was secretary of war the meet
ings of the two men at Washington
always were characterized by the
same cordiality as that of today.
White House attaches who witnessed
the greetings this afternoon said it
was just like the old days. There
was a rapid fire of conversation. The
meeting was everything that friends
have claimed that it would be and
the persistent prophesies of those
who have, insisted all "along that a
coldness had developed between the
two men proved to bo fallacious.
Colonel Roosevelt still was in the
spirit of the renewed associa
tion with the president when, after
two hours and twenty minutes spent
with Mr. Taft and members of his
family he started back to Nahant to
spend a second night with Senator
Lodge. As he was leaving the shaded
grounds of the president's cottage
the. colonel stopped to speak with
several old newspaper friends from
Washington. 'I had a most pleasant
time with the president,' he ex
claimed. 'There is nothing particu
lar to say, is there Cabot?' turning
to Senator Lodge. 'No, I think not,'
put in the senator. 'We had a most
delightful time and (hat is all there
is to it the colonel added."
The Illinois supreme court has re
versed itself and now holds that the
Illinois parole law is constitutional.
Theodore Roosevelt's mail is so
large that he has a stack of 10,000
letters which he has not been able
to open.
Theodore Roosevelt denies that he
has tried to get Governor Hughes
to run again for governor.
James J. Jeffries was decisively
defeated by Jack Johnson at Reno,
Nev., July 4, in a bloody fifteen
round battle for the world's pugilis

President Taft atfd Theodore
Hoosevelt met at Beverly, Mass. The
Associated, Press describes the meet
ing in this way: "For a full minute
this afternoon President Taft and
Colonel Roosevelt stood xn the broad
veranda .of the Evans cottage with
hands upon each other's shoulders
while delight was shown in every
line of. their smile, enwrapped coun
tenances. 'Mr. m President,' it was
Roosevelt who spoke and there was
earnest warmth in his salutation.

The New York legislature, ignor

Mr. Roosevelt had been tacked on
the bill. Then it was defeated.
a market day. Mr. Bryan viewed
the busy mart from the gallery, and
was astonished to find that it had
as many as Over 9,000 members. "I
think," ho said, "it ,1s one of tho
largest, possibly the largest, I have
ever seen."
Ho is in England as a delegate to
tho missionary conference in Edin
burgh, but prior to attending .that
Mr. Bryan is delivering a series of
lectures arranged by the Young
Men's Christian Vssociation.
Last evening a Dally Dispatch rep
resentative had a chat with tho dis
tinguished visitor at the Midland
hotel. Ho found Mr. Bryan homely,
to use a word that expresses much,
and highly pleased with what he has
seen on Ms third English trip.
Mr. Bryan would not discuss pol
ities. "When out of the United
States," he said, "I make it a prac
tice not to discuss either home poli
tics or tho politics of the country
visited."
"I think it is necessary for several
reasons," Mr. Bryan went on. "I
could not very well discuss them be
fore people who are not acquainted
with our politics with any certainty
that I should be understood, because
to understand what one says about
a situation you have to understand
that situation.
"Another reason is that when I am
away from home I prefer to empha
size the unity of our people instead
of divisions amongst them, for those
divisions are, after all, of much less
importance to the outside -world than
tho actual unity of the people on all
international questions,.
"One more reason for my avoiding
the discussion of politics when In
other countries than my own, is that
1 am meeting peoplo and recoivlng
courtesies from them, and theroforo
do not caro to enter upon controver
sial subjects."
Mr. Bryan had one very agreeable
surprise. "I did not know until I
arrived here," ho remarked, "who
our Manchester consul was, and J whs
greatly delighted to find him to be
an old friend of mine, tho Hon.
Church Howe. He wns in Antwerp
when I was last in Europe."
Mr. Bryan evincod much enthu
siasm over Y. M. C. A. work, men
tioning that in tho states they had
over 400,000 members. "In all tho
cities I have visited," he said, "It Is
doing an excellent work. I think,
however, that it docs not represent
as largo a percentage of tho Chris
tian activity In this country as ii
does in tho United States."
Whilst absolutely refusing to dis
cuss any phase of politics, Mr. Bryan
was glad to see England and America
working together on behalf of uni
versal peace. He declined to make
any comment on Mr. Roosevelt's fa
mous speech. Manchester, England,
