Mr.. John r. Mclean today purchased
from the wilkins estate an even half inter-
est In the Washington Post Company. Me-
gotiations have been going on for this pur-
chase for some weeks, but the deal was
finally consummated this morning, and 1t Is
understood the purchase money was paid
How much this was Is not given out, but
1t is rumored to have been in the neigh
borhood of 100000.
Mr.. Mclean viii be made president of
the Post company, and will take an active
part, in connection with Mr. John F.
wilkins, in the management of the paper.
Mr.. Mclean Is a firm believer In Washing
ton investments, and also in newspapers.
His brilliant success in the newspaper field
in the past is pretty good guarantee Of
the future of his latest investment.
Probably no man is better known in
Washington than John Roll Mclean, which,
by the way, Is his full name. For many
years he has practically made his residence
in this city, although retaining his large in
teressts in Cincinnati, among which is the
ownership of the Cincinnati Enquirer. He
has acquired large business interests here
and is connected with many local institu-
lions,
Mr. Mclean does not make the claim of
many modern rich men of having come from
poor but honest parents. He is the only son
of Washington Mclean, who was one of
the owners of the Cincinnati Enquirer, and

tective Grant served the warrant last Sat-
urday.

FOR GOOD OF FOOT BALL
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT INVITES
COLLEGE MEN TO A CONFERENCE.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW HAVEN. Conn.,, October Gan
athletic conference. whose full purport is
not known. is in progress today at the
White House. 1t was arranged by Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt, and he has as
his guests the head coaches of the three
most prominent universities in America.
They are Walter C. Camp of this city.
general Yale athletic advisor; William c.
Reid. jr., of Harvard. foot bail and base
ball head coach and Doc Hildebrand Of
Princeton. head foot ball and base ball
coach. Jack Owsley. the Yale head foot
ball field coach. is also present, and there
may be one or two more guests from the
three universities on hand.
The three heads Of the foot ball depart
ments OF these universities last week re-
ceived an invitation to go to Washington
and dine with President Roosevelt today.
The nature of their mission was not youch-
safed. but 1t Is known to be something for
the good Of athletics President Roosevelt
is a loyal Harvard man of the class of 80,
the class to which Mr.. Camp belonged at
Yale. In fact, Mr.. Roosevelt met Mr..
Camp while the two were in college. and
their friendship has dated from that time.
Mr.. Roosevelt was-a member of the Har-
ward undergraduate athletic committee dur
ing his senior year.
1t will be remembered that Theodore
Roosevelt came to this city in 1896, when
he was police commissioner of New York
on an errand of peace. Yale and Harvard
were at odds and had been separated for
more than a year. Mr.. Roosevelt was eager
to see them brought together. and the steps
he took went far to bring them together
in an agreement which has never since been
broken. The rumors that Mr.. Roosevelt
will be named president of Harvard after
his presidential term expires are, OF course,
interesting In this connection.
Messrs. Owsley and Camp left here Sat
urday night for their dinner and confer
ence In the White House. They are ex-
pected to return tonight and to be here to-
morrow to assist in the Yale coaching as
usual.

WANTED PROPHETS JOB.
Daniel Hargrove Believed He Was Or
dained Weather Man.

Daniel Hargrove, a colored resident of
Woodwork, N c., imagined a few weeks
ago that he had been ordained weather
prophet and started out to have government
officials give him his appointment. Har-
grove is forty-five years old. owns real es-
tate and usually carries roll OF bills in his
pocket. There was nothing about his ap-
pearance to indicate that he was man of
wealth when he came here week ago. and
no confidence man has sought to rob him.
During the week he has been here he has
discussed the officeseeker's troubles with his
acquaintance, visited the public buildings
and done all he could to bring about ap-
pointment from Secretary Wilson.
Long before he left North Carolina Mr..
Hargrove sent a formal application to the
secretary and received the customary re-
Spouse. Daniel was favorably impressed
with the people and sights of this city until
he called at the White House this morning
and sent a letter to Secretary Loeb A
glance at the letter was all that was neces-
sary to convince the secretary that the APP
plicant needed something other than the
Office Of weather prophet. Sergt Harrison
was sent for and he took the prospective
off1ceholder off to the first precinct station.
This afternoon the prisoner will be ex-
amined by the police surgeons in order to
determine his mental condition.

Reassembling United States
Supreme Court.
CALLED ON PRESIDENT
USUAL MONDAY BUSINESS GOES
OVER TO TOMORROW.
Ten Cases on the Assignment List
Over 400 Cases on the Reg
ular Docket.

The Supreme Court OF the United States
met for the October term this morning and
performed the usual duties OF formality and
courtesy toward the President Of the United
States that devolve upon the court on
opening meetings of the fall term. Every
member of the court was present on the
bench. There was a crowded court room
to witness the interesting scenes of the
highest court OF the land coming together
for work after the summers vacation. The
court room. outside of the portion reserved
for the members of the bar, was taken up
largely by excursionists who happened to
be at the Capitol and in the vicinity of the
court at the time of the opening.
The duty of the court was at once an
nounced by the Chief Justice as being con-
nned on this first day to the admission of
such applicants for admission to the Su-
preme bar as might be presented and prop
cants were presented and formally ad-
mitted to practice. The Chief Justice also
said that all motions noted for today would
be received tomorrow.
Call on the President.
The chief function of the court on the
opening of the fall term is to pay a call of
respect to the President of the United
States A few minutes after the court had
assembled the Chief Justice and his asso-
ciates arose and proceeded to the White
House, where the justices were cordially re-
ceived by President Roosevelt In the Blue
room. The court then called upon the At
torney General.
The usual business that comes before the
court on Monday will be taken up tomorrow
morning. This was announced by the chief
justice before adjournment. The court will
probably have one or two decisions to be
handed down tomorrow but as a rule the
first meeting at which business Is transacted
is not time for the rendering of large
number of opinions by the court.
Cases on the Docket.
There are ten cases on the assignment list
the first of which will be taken up tomor-
row. There are 425 cases on the regular
docket, or about thirty more than there
were on the docket at this time last year
About 145 of these cases have been filed
since last May.
Chief Justice Fuller has just returned here
after a visit abroad, during which he served
as one of the arbitrator in the dispute be-
tween France and England over the right of
French traders to navigate their ships IN the
Gulf of Arabia. The decision was in favor
of the Sultan of Muscat. Justice Holmes
spent most of the summer at Beverly

Convicted of Assault.

This throwing OF lamps is a terrible
thing. 1t must stop, andI will stop it. II I

This was the remark which was made by
Judge Kimball in the Police Court this
morning. when he was about to pronounce
judgmen in the case of Mamie Butler,
charged with making an assault on Mary
E. Moore. The sentence was $50 fine or
sixty days in jail.
According to the testimony of the COM
planning witness in the case. Mamie Butler
was on the first floor of her house cursing
and swearing when Mary Moore wished to
go to bed. When Mary came downstairs to
demonstrate with the Butler woman against
cursing she was greeted with a lamp
thrown at her head by Mamie Butler. The
lamp missed its target, but Mamie was not
to be outdone. and she commenced to beat
the other woman. Finally they were sep
arated by outsiders, and Mamie Butler was
arrested by Officer Walsh of the fifth pre-
ciEct.

an extremely prominent man in democratic
politics way back before John r. was born.
John r. Mclean Is a native of Cincinnati
having been born there September IT, 1913.
He was educated in the public schools at
Cincinnati and afterward went to Harvard.
At college, as in after years, Mr.. Mclean
knew about what he wanted and proceeded
to get 1t without any great amount of fuss.
After graduating from college he spent
couple of years in Germany a student
and then went back to Cincinnati to go to
work the Enquirer. He started at the
bottom of the ladder as a cub reporter at
a salary of something like $40 a week, and
only after a thorough practical training
was he allowed to become a proprietor.
He acquired his fathers interest in the
paper later and afterward bought out some
of the other interests that still existed. His
success with the Enquirer was very great
and the paper has been large money
maker for many years.
Mr.. Mclean was always interested in
state politics and as his breadth of view
increased he became prominently identified
with democratic national affairs. He was
talked of both for first and second places on
the democratic ticket at various times, and
his name was before the convention of
1896 that finally nominated Bryan. He
ran for governor of Ohio on the democratic
ticket in 1859, but was defeated by George
X. Nash. For a number of years he has
been a member of the democratic national
committee.
Mr.. McLean's residence may be consld-
cred as at either Washington or Cincinnati.
His Washington home for the past decade
has been the big house at 18th and I streets
and Vermont avenue, opposite Mcpherson
Square. About eight years ago he bought
Friendship, near the Cleveland property.
Red Top, on the Tenleytown road. Here
he and his family spend the greater part of
the summer. Mr.. McLean's home life must
never be lost sight of in any summing up of
his character. That life Is of the most
charming description. He was married in
1SS. to Miss Emily Beale dauehter of Cen
Beaie of this city. and has one son, Edward
Beale Mclean.

BREED MORGAN HORSES.
Plans Under Way by Government at
Burlington, VT.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BURLINGTON, VT. October 9.-Plans
are being formulated by the United States
government to establish breeding farm
for raising Morgan horses In this city.
Through the influence of Senator Redfield
Proctor George NJ. Rommell of the bu-
reau of animal industry in Washing
ton was induced to come to Vermont and
was led over the site for such an estab-
lishment.
While in the city he had a conference
with Senator Proctor and the board of
control OF the Vermont state experiment
station of the University of Vermont with
a view to taking action along this line.
1t Is contemplated to carry on the breed
ing of Morgan horses with the idea of
bringing back to more one of the best
types of carriage horses in existence.
The Morgan horse for generations was
the noted product of Vermont farms, but
for the past ten or fifteen years they have
been supplanted by other breeds and the
Morgan has not been at a premium. The
past year, however. particularly those held
along the Champlain valley. there have
been large and excellent exhibits of this
famous horse.
The plan of the government has. the en-
thusiastic support of President Roosevelt.
