MIsaUoTED ON TRUSTS.

Cure Only When Laws Fail.

GreStdent HuuIey Regards O>fraet- mi
Cure Only When Laws Fau.
NEW HAVEN, Conn. Jan. 20.-Presi-
dent Arthur / Hadley OF Yale returned
to his home late last night after the most
remarkable trip ever taken by Yale
president He went as far West as Den
yer and as far North as st. Paul. Presi-
dent Hadley's remarks before the Candle
Light Club of Denver on the subject of
ostracising leaders of trusts have been
widely printed. President Hadley says
that he was misquOted.
This morning he was asked: DO you
recommend ostracism for the leaders OF
the trusts?" He answered: only in ex
ceptional cases when they have been
guilty of gross violation of the public in-
terests.'
DO you regard ostracism as a cure for
the evils of trusts"
only to the same extent to which it is
a cure for about any other social or conf
mercial evil
Would you say. for instance that os,
tracism of the dealers in the liquor trade
would cure or help the liquor evil?"
II think that much more evil OF every
kind is controlled by Ostracism than by
statutes that have no social penalty be-
hind Them
President Hadley was asked about his
success in adding to the bicentenniai
funds as a reason for his trip. He said:
The primary object OF the trip was edu-
cationai rather than financial. It's object
was to bring the alumni of Yale into
closer touch with the university and to
bring the schools OF the country into close
touch with Yale. In this respect the sue
cess Of the trip far exceeded all expecta-
tons"

LONDON, Jan. 2O.-At this moment of

the clean-cut wounds of the Mauser bullet

caused by shell fire. The remainder were
due to Mauser bullets. This great dispro-

Contest Over Craftsmanship of the

Kansas City, Mo-, July 1.-Some in

ship of the national committee, and it
is no longer concealed that there is a
contest over il. The friends of Senator
Jones of Arkansas are interesting them
selves quite actively to checkmate the
movement against him. In this, as in
all other matters, an appeal has been
made to Mr.. Bryan. and those who have
talked with him say that he wishes
Senator Jones TO again be chairman
He thinks that if the senator should
not be selected it would appear before
the country as an evidence of want of
confidence in the present chairman.
/ Mr.. Bryan has told his callers that
as the Republicans have reelected the
same chairman, it would be better for
the Democrats to show the same con-
fidence in their manager. Those who
want to displace Senator Jones think
that the committee should be so or
ganized that a man like Senator Cor
man would be chosen as chairman of
the executive committee, which would
result in a more vigorous campaign in
the eastern states.

significant, for it is in line with the
strong effort being made to lend pa
Irlotlc fervor TO the presidential nomi-

holiday. The committee has chosen
Charles Hampton of Petoskey. Mich,
secretary OF the Michigan state COM
mlttee, to read the instrument.
Despite the local opposition TO a nom
ination on the first day of the session
the members of the executive commit
tee are giving il serious consideration.
The main difficult in the way OF such
an arrangement = the debate on the
platform, for with his settled il is be-
heVed' that the Organization could be
SO advanced as to permit the nominal
ton TO be made on the first day.
The Platform.
This has emphasized the doubt exist
Ing on the platform and has been the
Chief cause of several interesting pri-
vate conferences during the day. The
hrst OF these was in Senator Jones pri-
Vate rooms, when Mr. Croker and
Former Senator Murphy called. They
FOUND MesSrS. Johnson and Campau of
the executive committee with Mr. Jones
and the talk soon turned to the plat
form 1t can be stated on the author
lty of one Of the gentlemen participant
ing that Messrs- Croker and Murphy
made no demands, nor did they submit
any exact platform proposition. but
thew appeared more as counSellorS and
advisers in the general interest of the
party to urge that judicious action on
the platform would make the east, par
ticularly New York, debatable ground
in the coming campaign.
Practically the entire debate, quite
informal at all times, was on the plat
form, with a view to securing united
action by the east, west and south.
After the conference, il was stated
TO the satisfaction of all those present
that all the indications pointed to COM
plete unanimity and reconciliation be-
tween the sections. Another meeting
OF the same general character occurred
later in the day, Chairman Jones, ex-
Governor Stone of Missouri j. NJ Cuff
fey, the successor of Mr. Harrity of
Pennsylvania: Mr.. Campau and Mr.
Johnson being present. Again the plat
form was gone over, with special refer
ence to lea ming whether the pending
sentiment could be counted on in the
general movement toward harmony.
