New York , Juno 10. In a little
church , on the east side , before the
shrine far from ornate , there Is a can
die burning for prayers for the safe
ty and happy homo coming of Theo

All the time the ex-president has
been away , not once has that candle
light before the shrine been neglect
ed by the elderly woman who placed
it there , and who wlUi others has
knelt time nnd again before It , offering
up prayers for his safe return.
Accident alone led to the discovery
that Mrs. Mary Ledwltb , long time
governess , companion , confidante , al
but mother , to two generations o
Roosevelts , was praying for the safe

the nation , for , retiring as she is , slu

MUCH FRUIT
AFTER ALL
FjNE PROSPECTS IN NEW ENG
LAND AND PACIFIC COAST.
OVERCOMES MIDDLE WEST FROST
Apples Are 8 Points Under Last Year ,
While There Will Be More Peaches
Than In 1099 Berries Slightly Off
and Melons , Too.
Washington , June 10. Splendid
prospects for fruit in New England
and the Pacllic coast states almost
counterbalance the poor showing of
the central states , where early frost
cot In telling work , according to a re
port made public today by the depart
ment of agriculture on general crop
growth.
Apple Crop Nearly Up to 1909.
The condition of the apple crop is
reported to be more than S points be
low last year , or 53.0 as compared
with a normal condition. The ten-
year average for apples is GO.8. In
New England and on the Pacific coast
the crop promises to bo immense , but
In such big apple states as Ohio and
Missouri there will be only about one-
third of a crop.
More Peaches Than Last Year.
On the other hand , the peach crop ,
duo to the excellent prospects in such
states as Now Jersey and Delaware ,
promises to bo larger than last year ,
the condition on June I being 02.0 , as
compared with 54.1 last year and a
ton-year average of G5.0. The central
states will produce a poor crop , it ap
pears now.
Blackberries Slightly Under.
Frost evidently nipped the briar
blossoms , for the condition of black
berries was estimated nt SO.O. as com
pared with 00.0 last year and for the
las-t four years.
Raspberries wore estimated at 70.2 ,
as compared with SS.4 last year and
82.1 , the four-year average.
Melons a Little Off.
The watermelon and the canteloupe
crops will be slightly off , It appears ,
as the former was estimated at 77.40 ,
as compared with Sl.fi a year ago , and
the latter 77.S as compared with 81.8
a year ago.
Sugar cane was reported at 84.7 , as
compared with OO.G , and the sugar
beets at 00.fi as compared with 89.0.
Western Union Is Indicted.
Washington , June 10. The federal
grand jury today returned an Indict
ment against the Western Union Tele
graph company charging it with forty-
two violations of the bucket show law
of March 1 , 1909.
WOMEN'S DRESS TOO COSTLY.
A Magazine Writer Indicts Americans
for Extravagance.
New York , Juno 10. Does the Amer
lean woman spend a fifth , a quarter ,
sometimes even a third of her bus'
band's income upon dress ?
Mrs. Kmlly Post , author of "The
Title Market , " makes this startling as
sertion in a current magazine and
offers several plausible arguments tc
prove it. Today she declares they
wear a $40 shirt waist upon occasions
where ten years ago one costing ? S
would have served , and she says that
blouses at ? 100 to ? 125 are now con
sidered appropriate , when formerly
$10 creations would have been worr
with pride.
Uo to the French woman , Is hei
verdict , consider her ways , her taste
her economy , her sense of fitness and
do likewise.
Miss Ada Walsh , a fashionable
dressmaker and designer , was askec
about it.
"Frankly , " said Miss Walsh , "I dc
not agree with Mrs. Post. What she
says may bo true of a very limitec
class of women In the largo cities
namely , the wives of brokers and promoters
motors whoso husbands encourage tin
extravagant dressing for purposes o
advertising. I read an article some time
ago In which a college professor use (
the term , 'Sandwich women , " to describe
scribe such wives. I think It is a verj
good one. "
BECAUSE WE MARRY YOUNG.
Berlin , June 10. Judge Karl Voi
Lewinsky , n widely known Germai
jurist , has discovered the reason wh ;
divorces are so common In the Unit
ed States. Ho told the Internationa
Association for Uniform Laws In Ber
lin this week that other causes thai
lax laws were responsible for the fac
that seventy-three divorces occurret
in 1000 lu the United States to over :
fifteen In Germany , two In Englam
and Wales , twenty-three In Franci
and thirty-two in Switzerland.
"Tho underlying cause of this grea
disproportion , " said Judge Von Low
Insky , "is not In the American lawe
which taken nil In all , are strict , bu
Is duo to economic conditions. Th (
American of all classes marries un
commonly young. Lack of experience
therefore , often leads him to make i
wrong choice of a life partner. Tin
American woman , primarily , sees m
terror In a divorce. She Is more In
dependent than the European , usual ) ;
has more ability and more opportunl
ty herself , and Is , therefore , more Ir
cllncd to renounce the support of ;
husband. "
i Madison to Celebrate.
I Madison. Neb. , June 10 Special to

mercial club and IItv department last
night It was decided ti.nt Madison will
celebrate the Fourth. As It is under
stood none of the surrounding towns

this the biggest ( l-bratlon Madison
ever had.
BARRED FROM
WHITE HOUSE
REPRESENTATIVE HARRISON OF
NEW YORK NOT ADMITTED.
CAME WITHOUT APPOINTMENT
Congressman Who Had Issued a Vic
ious Newspaper Statement , Impli
cating Wrong Motives to President ,
Is Given a Rebuff.
Washington , June 10. President
Taft declined to receive Representa
tive Francis Burton Harrison , demo
crat of Now York , Who called at the
I white house in company with two
other representatives to introduce a
number of Jewish rabbis who took
ip with the president the question of
he expulsion of Jews from Rusaia.
The president received the delegn-
ion and chatted with Its various mem-
jers for fifteen minutes or more. Rep-
esentative Goldfogle of New York

mill Representative Harrison return-
d to the capiioi itnd there stated that

Mr. Taft based his refusal to see
Mr. Harrison on statements attribut
ed by newspapers to the represontn-
Ive In connection with his resolution
n the house calling upon Attorney
General Wichershom for full informn-
ion as to the connection of his office
vlth the Bnllinger-Pinchot episode.
Mr. Harrison , according to the white
muse version of the matter , charged
.ho president and the attorney general -
oral with having wilfully attempted
to mislead congress in the back-dating
> f the attorney general's summary of
he Glavis charges.
Harrison Makes it Public.
Secretary Norton was at first un
willing to discuss the incident. Later ,
when ho was informed of the state-
uents made by Mr. Harrison , he told
the story. He said the president had
no purpose of publicly humiliating
he congressman , and that nothing
would have been said regarding the
affair if Mr. Harrison had not made
.he matter public.
Mr. Norton said that during the
congressional receiving hour he notlc-

ence. Mr. Taft announced that he
would bo glad to receive every mem-

son.
Secretary Norton thereupon invited
Mr. Harrison into his office. Mean
time he had the party shown into the
president's office. When the two were
ilonc the secretary told Mr. Harrison
the president would not see him.
Mr. Harrison asked if others in the
[ > arty knew that the president had
liarred him , and Air. Norton replied
that no one knew but they two. Mr.
, Norton asserted the president himself
liad no previous knowledge that Mr.
Harrison was to be one of Ills callers.
The engagement had been made In
the routine way some ten days ago
through the secretary's office.
Representative Harrison made the
following statement :
Congressman Issues Statement.
"It Is unfortunate for the president
that he cannot stand criticism if un
fortunate for the country that he can

REDUCE PRINT PAPER OUTPUT
On April 30 There Was Less Than
Five Days' Supply In America ,
Washington , June 10. That the sup-
) ly of news-print paper in the Ameri
can mills has been still further de-
ileled since March 30 , so that on Ap
ril 30 there was less than live days'
supply on hand , is the purport of a
statement made public by Herbert
Knox Smith , commissioner of corpora
tions. The last statement , as of Ap
ril 1 showed but 10,907 tons on band ;
since then there has been a decrease
of 1,817 tons. The decrease since
April 30 , 1009 , has been more than
18.000 tons.
The normal consumption per day Is
said to be about 4,000 tons ; the pro
duction about 4,12r > '
Following Is the commissioners'
statement :
"Statistics of news-print paper for
April , 1910 , as compiled by the Ameri
can Paper and Pulp association and
filed with the commissioner of cor
porations , show a sharp decline in
production and a further drain upon
stocks. The total supply on hand on
April 30 , 1910. was only 18.0GO tons ,
a reduction of 1,847 tons since April
1. On April 30 , 1009 , the stocks were
30,133 tons. Stocks have been stead
ily decreasing ever since the end of
last August , when they exceeded 53-
000 tons.
"As late as January 1 , 1010 , they
were In excess of 16,100 tons. This
continued decrease lias , as is known ,
been accompanied by a considerable
increase in prices.
"This reduction in stocks is the
more significant in view of the fact
that during the period from January
1 to April 30 , 1909 , there was an In
crease from 20,370 to 3G.133 tons , or
over lfi,700 tons as compared with a
decrease of over S.fiOO tons for the cor
responding four months of 1010.
"This reduction In stocks Is chief
ly due to the reduction in output ,
which fell from 84,219 tons in March ,
1910 , to 80,489 In April , a net decline
of 3,730 tons. In April , 1000 , the pro
duction was SO 478 tons. The stalls.-
tics for 1910 show a decrease in pro
duction in April as compared witli
January of 4,058 , whereas , the same
comparison in 1909 shows an Increase
of over 7,000 tons. The 'normal' out
put for the month of April , 1010 , as
compared by the association , it maybe
bo noted , is 90,538 tons ; the actual
output , therefore was only S3 percent
of this normal. The 'decrease is
chiefly attributed to a strike in some
of the large mills ; the production at
the end of Mny is said to be close to
normal.
"The month's shipments were 82-
330 tons , or 1,847 tons more than the
production. The shipments were ,
however , only 85 percent of the esti
mated 'normal' for the month , and
are considerably less than those for
proceeding months of the current year
which have ranged between 80,300
tons and 87,500.
"The stocks on hand as above giv
en do not Include paper stored by the
manufacturers at destination for ac
count of specific customers , but the
amount of such stored stocks at the
present time Is said to be negligi
ble.
"In this general connection It Is
really remarkable to note upon how
narrow a margin of supply this In
dustry operates. The average stock
hold by manufacturers In the past
year and n half would not exceed at
best three weeks consumption , while
the manufacturers' stocks on April
30 , 1010 , would not give more than
a week's supply. This situation nec
essarily tends toward excessive fluc
tuations In price. "
