CHICAGO, June 22. Theodore Roosevelt
Jr., and wife registered at the Congress
hotel here today as "Wm. Throop Rogers

wedded husband eventually admitted his
Identity.
A tall Iowan who came on the same train
as the bride and groom was responsible
for the discovery of the identity of the
pair.

to the clerk as Mr. and Mrs, Roosevelt, jr.,
were moving away.
"Sure, Wm. Throop Rogers and wife,
Philadelphia, suite B-13."
"Wm. Throop, your grandmother; that's
T. R... Jr., and better half. I came on the
same train with 'em and she did not call
him 'Bill;' she called him 'Theodore.' "
Reporters could not at first obtain an
answer from B-13, but after repeated rap-
plngs a young face lit up by a prodigious
grin projected Itself through the slightly
opened door.
'I'm Roosevelt all right" he said, 'but
I can't talk to you now."
Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt,. Jr., are on their
way to San FranclBco, their future home.
Later Mr. Roosevelt met the newspaper

of the Northwestern Coal Dealers' associ
ation at the Rome Wednesday morning.
The resolutions are noteworthy, because
they demand a national reciprocal demur
rage law, recommend state laws on the
same subject "as a step in the right dlrec-
tion" and "protest vigorously against any
advance in transportation rates at this
time."
The election of officers was likewise unan
imous. A nominating committee headed
by J. F. Daubenberger of McGregor, la.,
made a report and a motion prevailed that
the secretary cast a vote for the men
named. Friends of other candidates con
cluded not to make a fight The secretary

of Minneapolis, will be unanimously re
elected by the board of directors, who will
alBo choose the place of theylDU convention.
Convention delegates listened with rapt
attention to T. L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers ot America.
Lewis Kxplalns situation.
Before the convention began proceedings
Mr. Lewis had made a statement regard
ing troubles between miners and operators
In several parts of the country. He Bald:
In Colorado there la practically no
change. An unsuccessful effort has been
made to operate the mines In the north
ern field. I am hopeful of being able to
arrange a conference of coal operators and
miners and I am satisfied an understanding
can be reached which will be reasonably
satisfactory to all parties interested.
"With reference to the situation In the
southwest, a conference waa held In Kan
sas City last week and It waa finally de
cided that President James Elliot ot the
Southwest Interstate Coal Operators asso
ciation and myself should act as a com
mittee to prepare a proposition to present
to representatives of the operators and
representatives of the miners In separate
conventions and then in a Joint convention
I am hopeful that 30,000 men will be back
at work by July 1."
Mr. Lewis did not say so exactly, but It
Is plain that he regards the Illinois situa
tion as more grave than in Colorado and
In the southwest
"In Illinois," said he, "there are about
45,0u0 men Idle. The situation Is complt
cated by the positive positions taken by
both the leaders of the miners and the
operators, and no disposition on either side
to go to the other and arrange a conference
to settle their differences. We have taken
the matter up with representatives ot tha
operators and ot the mine workers for the
Duruose of arranging a conference. I am
not In a position to express an opinion In
regard, to the outcome, but am hopeful
wUl be ablo to bring about a settlement in
the near future."
In his address to the convention, Mr.
Lewis analyzed the coal Industry ss con
talning five elements, miners, operators,
railroads, dealers and consumers. He then
discubsed tne raising of the coal Industry
standards irom the standpoint of each ele
ment. Regarding the miners, h said
"We shall never be satisfied until wages
are such that boys and children will not
have to go Into bowels of the earth to help
support families, and until hours ot labor
are at that minimum nbcesry to mine
all the coal needed for the world's uses.
Mr. Lewis left Omaha for Kansas City
KANSAS fclTY, June 22. In support of
the contention that the process of .bleaching
flour does not Injure the product, but on
the other hand improves it, several addi
tional witnesses testified for the millers
in the bleached flour trial In the federal
court here today.
Attorneys for tne millers stated today
that probably another week would be re
quired to introduce all their testimony.
Alva Edgecomb, manager of the Updike
mill at Omaha, testified that many of tne
bakers who are patrons of his mill demand
bleached flour.
He said that impurities In flour could not
be concealed by the bleaching process and
that his own family had used bleached
flour for five years. He said none of his
family had been sick as a result of eating
bread made from the flour.
The witness produced two loaves of
bread, one of which he said was made
from bleached flour and the other from
unbleached, and when he cut them open he
was unable to state which loaf was made
from bleached flour or which was made
from unbleached flour.
On examination an effort was made to
nduce the witness to state that his mill
was supplying financial aid to the millers
In this suit, but he said that he did not
known, as the president of the company
looked after the legal affairs of the con
cern. ..
The witness said he had no knowledge of
a suit the government prosecutor said had
been brought by the company to enjoin
the operation ot tho pure food law in Iowa.

Freedom of Teaching
MADISON, Wis., June 22. The dangers
to state universities resulting from polit
ical control, from the demand for returns
measurable In dollars and cents and from
restriction of freedom of teaching, were
pointed out by President Charles It Van
Hlse of the University of Wisconsin In his
commencement address to the graduating
