White House Recent Ous.

The secretary to the President, George
c. Cortelyou, states that there will be no
change in the traditional programme for
the New Year reception. The statement
in some of the dispatches that the Presi-
dent refused to meet the public because
of fear of assassination is especially dis
tasteful. AT the New Year reception
the usual time allotted to greet the gen
eral public will be included in the pro-
gramme. The fact that the President
almost daily takes exercise upon the
thoroughfares of Washington, that he
goes to church every Sunday unattended
by guards and other indications prove
that President Roosevelt has not lost
trust in the patriotism and devotion Of
the people.

SHOT FROM AMBUSH
Man and Wife Killed While Fishing In Brozos
Rivcr-Boy Hurt

Waco, Tex. Especially .-J.W.McDonald
and his wife Susan were shot from am
bush from the bank of the Brazos river,
near the Calls county line, and both were
killed.
They were fishing and were near their
tent when some one fired upon them.
Mcdonald was about 50 yards from the
tent when he was shot twice in the head.
The wife was 100 yards away and the
shot was evidently very close, for the wo-
mans clothing took fire and her body was
burned to crisp.
The murderer was evidently after
money, for it was known that Mcdonald
had some in his tent. A son 9 years old
was found near the place and brought to
this city. His head was badly lacerated
and he was in a dazed condition.

developments will have to reveal.
Dr. Raymond was interviewed this
afternoon aud asked IL he had anything
TO say in reference to the matter. He
said:
Il have nothing whatever to say
about it,
Then you do not want to either
affirm or deny that your resignation
has been tendered?n
1T would take long story to go in
TO the case as it should be done, he
stated. And at present ! am very
busy. Later on statement may be
made for the press but at present /
can say nothing. When it is ready l
shall give it to YOU"
Mr. Sturgiss stated in reply to ali
inquiry this morning that the resig-
nation had not been rendered and that
he did not have it in his possession.
That DR.. Hartigan is vindicated so
far in his suit is evident to everyone
who has followed the course of the
case. He however feels that DR.. Ray
his position at the University in any
event and that he will not make his
way any easier by withdrawing his
suit
He is determined TO give the learn
ed doctor all the trouble that he can
and is bent on showing up in their
true light his methods and those of
his supporters whom he feels to have
been equally culpable.
Whatever the outcome of the mat
ter 1t is certain that DR.. Raymond
cannot remain much longer. Just
how long will depend on circumstances
and IL will be developed when the
board meets in Charleston on next
Friday. A call for this meeting hae
been made or will be made in shorU
time. They have been summoned to
meet by the Supreme Court and they
will meet the day before to look over
the ground and decide on their course
of action.
To DR.. Hartigan must be given the
great credit which attaches to the de-
feat and downfall of Raymond who up
until the suit for SANDER was filed
had been carrying everything before
him.
The board Of regents or at least the
majority of it are now in a very ugly
hole and what they will do to get out
remains to be seen. They have no one
to blame but themselves and they
have very little sympathy from any
one who has been following their
movements.

that in consideration Of his resigna-

CHARLESTON, w. Va, January IA.
The University trouble is about
solved 1t is known here tonight
that Jerome II. Raymond, president
of the West Virginia University, will
tender his resignation to the board of
regents, that it will be accepted by
that body, and that he will leave the
State
Then the resolution vacating the
chair occupied by Prof. Hartigan will
be rescinded, the suit against Ray
mond will be withdrawn, and peace
will reign.
Going along with this will be the
passage of the bill for recognizing the
board of regents for the people who
are taking the matter in hand are not
going to be satisfied as long as Sturgiss
is on the board. They say his bull
headed support of Raymond, right or
wrong, has been the chief trouble in
the case and he is blamed very much
for allowing himself to be used by the
president in venting his personal spite
against other members Of the faculty
With these things done, and the
real friends of the school put in the
saddle, liberal appropriations will be
made for its improvement and main
tenance, and it will once more start
on the up grade.
Friends of the University are feeling
good over the turn affairs have taken
and express themselves as believing
that matters will soon be in better
shape for that institution than ever
before il its history.
Senator Bakers resolution to appro-
pirate $50, 600 for the purpose of max
ing State exhibit at the Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition seems to meet with
universal approval, except among
those who think the amount too
small, and they are by no means few.
General St. Clair, who was inti-
mately connected with the Worlds
Fair at Chicago and is thoroughly
acquainted with the work of making
an exhibit, thinks the appropriation
should be for $75, 900, and Others
think 500, 900 would not be too much,
taking into consideration the great
resources of the State still undeveloped
and the necessity for putting them in
good light before the world.
