cLEVELAND's ITALIAN HAND
Revelations in Connection With the
Retirement of President
- Patton. --.
New York Sun, soecxaI Service,

Lawrenceville, N. j., June 14.-Nothing
has been more closely followed here than
the revelations which have been made in
the last few days with regard to the real
reasons for President Patton's resigna-
tion. from the presidency OF Princeton.
LaWrenceville school has ever been
closely related by sentimental ties to
Princeton university, if not by actual ties
Head Master Simon ]. Mcpherson Of Law
renceville and formerly of Chicago, is q
Princeton trustee, and once, long ago, he
was thought to be the most likely man to
succeed President Patton at Princeton.
Professor Andrew F. West, the closest
friend on earth of Trustee Grover Cleve-
land of Princeton, is also trustee OF
Lawrenceyille. 1t has been mentioned in
the dispatches from Princeton that there
were two trustees in the clique which
wanted to see President Patton get out
so that vacancy might be made into
which several individuals were ambitious
to step. The names of theStrustees have
not been mentioned up to this. time. They
were the Rev. DR.. Simon j. J.-McPherson
and Grover Cleveland. These two Prince
ton trustees went to President Patton not
so very long ago as an embassy from the
clique Of the ambitious, and in the gNlse
of offering him friendly advice told him
that they thought he'd better get OUT
quietly and without making any musS.
They reminded him that there had been
good deal of friction in the last few
months in the Princeton faculty and that
such quarreling would be a continued
strain upon his already oxertaxed system.
President Patton decided to get out
himself without giving the opposition any
notice and to defeat the purpose of the
opposition by naming his own successor.
The scheme had been to give the presi-
dency over to Mcpherson. 49,
DR.. Mcpherson had refused college
presidencies and other magnificent oppor-
tunities ), But when he went to. Law
renceYil1e, as: he Ndid, it was an open
secret: that he went to be more closely IN
touch with Princeton. and be- in the
Princeton succession, At Princeton and
in the Princeton board of trustees he was
recognized to have put, himself utterly
out Of the race by coming. He was far
from WE'LL. He had no educational ex-
perience and he lacked broad executive

girl was cured completely, and the repu-
taticn Of the icon established. Every day
new cures are heard Of, and thousands of
cripples and invalids flock to the church:
The Greek Patriarch Is seriously
troubled as the orthodox church does not
admit that icons possess the power of
working miracles. IN spite, however, OF
his opposition mGititudes continue to
throng the building, which is making
over 810 a day: by the sale of candles.
Last week the Patriarch sent. special
commission, consisting of the grand vicar,
the secretary general of the holy synod,
and the bishop of Xanthupolis, to examine
the, icon. They questioned the priests,
but could get NO definite: evidence, the
chaplain stating that he was too busy to
notice each cure. In consequence of the
failure ofzthe commission an official COM
munication has been addressed by the
Patriarch to the churches, warning the
people against being deceived, and also
reminding them that if God does perform
miracles He does SO gratuitously, and no
amount of money paid to- the churches

The General Transatlantic company

shares OF the Messageries Maritimes COM

Morgan's fusion will oblige the French
government to protect France from tho

from a military point of view. France
must come to an understanding with the
Belgian shipping lines, and the railway
companies of Italy, France, Switzerland
and Belgium must form counter trust,

Washington, June 14.-Secretary Root
Yesterday sent to congress copies Of the
correspondence relating to- the case of
Miss Rebeccaa ]. Taylor, who was recently
discharged from the war department.. In
his letter of transmittal the secretary
makes no comment upon the case, COM
pletely ignoring Miss Taylor's protest at
his summary action. The secretary's at
titude is interpreted to mean that the
matter is closed so far as the department
is concerned, and Miss Taylor will be
compelled to look elsewhere for relief.
The house committee on civil service
will hold meeting next Monday for the
purpose of considering Representative
shallenberger' resolution calling upon
Secretary Root for his reasons for sum-
mart dismissing Miss Taylor; and Rep
resentative Mann, who is a member. OF
the committee, gave it as his opinion that
the resolution would be, laid on the table.
Such action will mean that the majority
of the house have determined, that there

urged to do so.
