New Haven, Conn. Oct 23.-President Roose-
gelt did not attend the early afternoon exercises
Of the celebration. After the ceremonies of con-
ferring the degrees completed he was
driven to the home OF W. W Farnam, on Pros
pect Hill. The crowds almost blocked the streets
the party with its escort passed, and many
hundreds swarmed along after the carriage and
obtained the coveted glimpse and bow of the
President.
The Farnam house is on a broad rise of
ground, and nigh hedges and fences surround

members of the Yale varsity football team,
who, through Jack" Greenway. an old football

Colonel Roosevelt, had asked the privilege of a
call. which cordially granted.
THE RECEPTION AT COMMONS"
The President left the house at 4:30 o'clock
for University Hall. There the final official
function of the Yale bicentennial began at D
o'clock this evening. The affair was scheduled
a farewell reception by President and Mrs
Hadley. But the presence of the President of
the United States who assisted President and
Mrs Hadley in receiving, lent far greater i'm
pressiveness to the occasion. Although there
was public announcement that President
Roosevelt would be present. rumor of his COM
ing had spread among the crowd. and a big
squad of policemen had some difficulty in re-
straining them at the entrance.
The reception held in the great dining
hall or commons owned by the university
iS of he nj
centennial structures. and the magnificent hall
was as grand a place as could be imagined for
such an affair.
President Roosevelt and Dr. and Mrs Hadley
stood upon a small raised platform. midway to
one side of the hall. Commander and Mrs.
Cowles the Presidents sister and Mr.. Cortel-
you. his private secretary. stood to the rear OF

number Of the general unlimited public had
managed TO gain entrance.
Particularly noticeable was the extreme eau
tion not only of the body officers but of those
having the affair in charge for the adequate
protection of the President
HANDSPRING OMITTED
The most unique and original feature OF the
reception was the fact that there absolutely
no handshaking The suggestion to eliminate
this old custom originated with President and
Mrs. Hadley, and was readily adopted by the
President, after consultation with Secretary
Cortelyou. Secretary CorteIyou was asked
whether this decision was reached because OF
the tragedy at Buffalo. He replied that il had
not been considered in that light. and need not
be necessarily taken as a precedent for the fut
ure, The nom -handshaking programme however
seemed TO work to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned, and this. together with the admira BILE

A man by the name of Hammond, travel
ing from Marlboro S. g, was arrested
here Sunday, by Deputy Sheriff T. l..
Smith. He has been travelling through
this country and other parts of the State,
selling seeds tobacco and possibly other
commodities. He has been iden-
titled, by driving a grey horse followed
by a mule colt. He also carried double
barrel gun Zone barrel ri1ed) In his
travels he had often stopred at a Mr..
Nance's home just over in Bladen county.
Mr.. Nance's home was blessed with a
beautiful young girl of sixteen summers.
She seemed to become the centre OF Nr.
Hammond's eye of affection. He repre-
sented himself as q man of family and
means, and desirous of securing a young
lady as companion and company for his
wife. The fancy price offered by him was
sufficient to induce the parents to allow
her to accompany him, supposedly TO his
home in South Carolina, but instead it is
claimed he took the young lady through
dark woods, and by ways, keeping her in
the woods all night, during the darkness
of which, and away IN the lonely woods
he committed that nameiess crime tor
which men pay with their life, and
that too, quite frequently withcu- Judge or
jury. At his preliminary hearing Tuesday,
he waived trial and examination and was
committed to jail at I.umherton to await
the action of the next grand jury.
