June 30.—For a full minute this afternoon Colonel Roosevelt ' and President - Taft stood on the broad veranda of the Evans cottage • with hands on .each other's shoulders, while delight shone in every line of their smile-wreathed counten ances. - . ■ • ' ■ "Mr. President" — was Roosevelt who spoke, and there was warmth In his salutation. "Theodore!" *: They patted each other affectionately on the shoulder. They laughed In \ a way that left not a single lingering doubt as to the exuberance of their feelings. They seemed utterly obliv ious of the fact that others were near. "It used to be 'Mr. President and Will,' didn't it," the colonel cried In his. old familiar, ' high-pitched ' voice, —but now its 'Mr. President and Theo dore.' WARM GREETING The two friends, meeting after six teen months separation with all the warmth that used to characterize their association in Washington, slapped each other on the shoulders. There was a rapid fire of conversa tion. The meeting was everything that the friends of President Taft have claimed it would be, and the persis tent prophecies of those who have In sisted all along that a coolness had developed between the two men proved false. ' ..'■----■■ ; Colonel Roosevelt still was .in the spirit of the renewed association with the president, when, after two hours and twenty minutes passed with Mr. Taft and members of his ■' family, ;he started back to Nahant to puss a sec ond night .with Monitor Lodge. ■, ;. As bo wax leaving the "shaded grounds of the presidents cottage, the colonel stopped to | speak with several old newspaper . friends from Washing ton". . "I had a most pleasant time with the president," he said. "There Is nothing particular to say." ROOSEVELT LEAVES j > With a wave of his Panama hat and a hearty word of good by, he was off. The president and Col. Roosevelt walked about the verandas of the cot tage for some time, arm in arm. They sat for a while In a secluded portion of ■ the porch, overlooking the bay. The afternoon was ideal. Their heads were close together, but scarcely a minute passed that their voices were not ringing with laughter. ' „ No meeting of the old friends could have been more affectionate, ' Tea was served on the veranda. Mrs. Taft, Senator '„■ Lodge .* and •.. Secretary Norton sat about the wicker table, and a merrier party would be difficult to imagine. The president. was - plainly affected; Col. Roosevelt was unfeigned In ; his ; delight. :■'.

"Jimmy. helped the colonel through the crowds at the Taft gate,' just as he used to do in the old days, and was the last per son to get a final handshake and word of parting. • Beverly was on the outlook for the distinguished' visitor all day,, but no official information as to the call was to be had at the executive office until the last minute. .; ROOSEVELT MAKES TRIP IN SENATOR LODGE'S AUTO On Departure Colonel Says He Will Surely Go Again BEVERLEY, June 30.—President Taft was sitting in the library going over the mail with Assistant Secretary Forester, when he heard the honk, hpnk, of Senator H. C. Lodge's auto mobile out In fronc. He dropped every thing and hurried to the porch. Col. Roosevelt ffU out of the machine in a moment and as th" two men met their iii ins went toward each other and their hands rested upon each other's should ers. It was some time before the em brace WU interrupted. Then PrMldsnt Taft warmly greeted Senator Lodge, Secretary Norton joined the party and Assistant Secretary Forester also was included In the circle. Soon the presi dent and the former president drew apart, while the others looked on with Kmiliiij,' Interest. What of politics entered into the conversation, what word of reminis cence, what exchange of experiences during the last sixteen months, no one on the veranda other than the two friends themselves knosv. There were so many ■ "als of laugh ter, so many rclaps upon the back, ho much of cordiality, It wag apparent there had been no euggeotlon "*' a con flict of views. Col.

MISS COCKRELL TO MARRY STATESMAN Wedding of American Beauty and Greek Minister Will Be Solemnized Wednesday (Sppetal to The Herald) WASHINGTON, June 30.—The state ly beauty of one American woman whom he declares Is more beautiful than the classic statued beauties of his native land has changed the scheme of existence of Lambros A. Coromilas, Greek minister to the United States. Next Wednesday Mr. Coromilas will be married at Norwich, Conn., to Miss Anna Ewing Cockrell, daughter of former Senator Cockrell of Missouri, and as soon as possible after the cere mony will take his bride and depart for his home in the far away coun try. Among his associates—before he met Miss Cockrell —Mr. Coromilas was classed as a "woman hater." But the first time he saw the former senator's daughter his convictions regarding the fair sex underwent a change, and the engagement which will terminate with the marriage ceremony Wednesday was the result. Miss Cockrell is tall, splendidly fig ured and her future husband when he tlrst saw her, remarked, "There is a woman more lovely than any Phidias ever carved."

Stewart and Frederick J. Whiiren, Good Government candidates for the two vacancies in the Los Ange les city council, were elected yesterday In one of the most bitterly contested elections in the history of Los Ange les. The Southern Pacific political ma chine, disrupted at the preceding mu nicipal election when Its corrupt ad ministration was completely routed by the Good Government forces, was re cuperated for the battle yesterday, and, aided by the lighting corporations and. street railway interests, the emissaries of this combine resorted to threats, in timidation, promises and misrepresen tation to place Its two candidates—Doc Houghton and Barney Healy—in the city council; but the Good Government forces of Los Angeles came quickly to the rescue and elected the Good Gov ernment candidates, sustained the city ordinance reducing the electric light rates from 9 to 7 cents a kilowatt hour by a vote of 2 to 1; Indorsed the so called business license ordinance by a vote of almost 2 to l, and give the city hall proposition an appreciable major ity, although the issue was iost because it required a two-thirds vote to carry. PEBH MKN HI 1(1 XI) A trifle less than 60 per cent of the city's registered vote was cast yester day. In precincts where Houghton and Healy were nominated by a majority discouraging to the Good Government forces, although due to the apathy of the voters at the primary election, the Good Government candidates yesterday received almost twice their previous, or primary, vote —in several instam os completely snowing under their push opponents. "Never again will we doubt the ioy alty or the determination of tho people of Los Angeles," said several officials of the pood Government organization last night. "This is the second great triumph of the Good Government forces of Los Angeles over corporation cor ruption, pernicious politics and South ern Pacific bossism and intimidation, and we regard it as even more remark able than our previous victory, lor the reason that in this election the South ern Pacific push was aided by the pow erful lighting corporations and by sev eral other public service combines, which did everything possible to defeat us. They threatened, intimidated and cajoled their hundreds of employes throughout the city, and they were backed also by the brewery and saloon men. In the previous fight It was the booze and S. P. gang which we had to whip; this time it was the booze and S. P. In conjunction with a much more powerful machine. KKSI 1. IS I'IIAISKHORTMY "The citizens of Los Angeles are to be commended for their attitude and for their patriotism in safeguarding the best interest of their city, as they have now done by this election. "The results are a decided compli ment to the present administration. The voters of Los Angeles have placed their seal of approval, by a large ma jority, on the progressive work, the purifying Influences ana the open and honest methods of the Good Govern ment officials who for the last six months have been administering the affairs of Los Angeles. •'These men went into office at a time when the affairs of the city were ser iously involved, muddled and biased as a result of long years of push con trol, pernicious activity m office and corporation domination. They have straightened out the affairs of their various departments, and although handicapped by having to work in cot- Junction with a county administra tion largely controlled by the S.

Whiffen to The Herald: To say that I appreciate the very effective work done by The Herald is but meagerly expressing my feelings at this time. The very satisfactory vote given me I do not consider due to my personal efforts but to the support" given to me and the move ment by the good government forces of the city of Los Angeles. FREDERICK J. WHIFFEN. S occupied by any municipality in tliu United States, brought it into promin ence as the foremost Good Government community of the world, and rid our city of graft, evil resorts, admini; trative corruption and other disgrae - ful conditions that once prevailed hero. "These officials have worked under heavy disadvantages, and they 1 ivo feared, occasionally, that the people would not understand, that they would not appreciate the difficulties with which the administration has been laboring. "But the people demonstrated yester day that they understand, that they appreciate, and that they will take no backward step in the great movement for municipal betterment and develop ment. "The Good Government organisation wishes to thank cv 'rymic .ho trfdbd us in this great fight." HARD WOItIC Never In the history of Los Angrlos have the booze, gas and railway -irtl workers waged such a determined bat tle, as they did yesterday. All da the emissaries of the corporations were rushing strenuously about the city, from one polling place to another, at tempting to Induce everyone who looked like a voter to help defea* Stpw art and Whiffen and the lighli business ordinances. Automobiles were everywhere in c dence, most of them being utilized the Southern Pacific push and ii* all of the booze and public utilities corj rations. The Good Oovelnment lor. *, had a number of machines in the fii.li however, and did everything possible* offset the activities of the push. ?J corporations spent their surplus c* with unusual liberality for the hire every available auto, which they kf busy bringing voters to and front t various polling places. MURK ACTIVITY Early in the day it looked as if tlr apathy of the voting public, which ma ; so apparent by the vote at the prims ] election, had not been shaken off, a. that there was-a possibility of the ek tion going by default to Houghton c. Healy. Later, however, the Good G< eminent forces became 30 active tl by the noon hour they had offset 1 strenuous work of the push, and bj •o'clock the vote had Vien alnn doubled in many of the Jarger m cincts in the southwest ana northea; A trip to the various polling places In the machine districts revealed that the voting in some of the strongholds of the push was comparatively weak, and that where the gang had attempted to make its. best showing it had been able to get out, but a light vote. It -was feared, however, that what votes had been secured in these precincts would go almost entirely to Healy and Hough ton and to defeat the ordinance reduc ing the lighting rates, so the Good Government forces in other precincts began actively to hustle out all the votes possible to make up for the defi ciencies in other precincts controlled by the push. IN THE SIXTH It was a noteworthy fact yesterda; that the Southern Pacific machine, or, rather, what is lfcft of the Southern Pacific machine, did everything in its power to save the day for the lighting companies, and to elect the push candi dates to the city council. Many old faces were seen about the polling places in the old Sixth ward, and investigation revealed that here and in several other sections the Southern Pacific gang was ) hard at work, endeavoring to influence voters and hustling out all its known sympathizers to vote against the light ing rate ordinance and the election of , Stewart and Whiffen. Voting: iij the downtown precincts remained behind that of the primary election, and this was taken to indicate that the push (Continued on Pace Thirteen)
