GRANT REMEMBERED
CIVIL WAR GENERALS BIRTHDAY
CELEBRATED.
MOODY ARRAIGNSMERGERS
Says There Are People Who Oppose
Roosevelt Because of Stand He
Has Taken-Pities Possible Oppo-
sition Candidates for Presidency
Banquet at Pittsburg.

Boston, April 2S.-The MiddleseX
club observed the anniversary of
Grants birthday at a banquet last
night. Secretary Moody was the prin-
cipal speaker. He praised the work
of the navy, and took the trusts, re-
viewing what had been done by con
gress at the request of the president.
The present laws were considered suf-
,ficient, but three things were pro-
posed: that congress should pass a
law making it criminal to give or take
rebates; to provide for publicity for
concerns engaged in interstate com
merce; to prevent delay in courts. All
these were granted.
Moody reviewed the Northern Sc
curities merger case:
E'There are people," he said, "who
bitterly denounce the president for
his action in this case. These same
people are claiming the president is
not safe man. These same men are
searching the country over for a man
to take President RoOsevelts place.
''The republican party" declared Mr.
Moody, has many men who could
take the presidency, but they will not
do it. I pity the man who is beguiled
into becoming the candidate of those
who are opposed to the president, be-
cause when the national convention
and election is over, there will not be
enough of that candidate left, even
with the proper adopted mixture OF
wind and water, to be incorporated
under the laws of New Jersey.

rotary of the English embassy; Count
Della Gherardesca, Italian embassy;
H. Persch of Philadelphia, and R. Ha-
ven Tebb Of England.
Tall and slight, with a small head
set on a long, slender throat, the

which accords we'll with her somewhat
shy and diffident, but always graceful
manner. She is a pronounced bru-
nette. She has masses of dusl1y hair
of soft texture. Her eyes are large,
dark, and lustrous, her skin exquisite
