and genuine pleasure at the alumni and
with the students of Harvard college
rested tonight at his home at Sycamore
Hill. This evening an informal re-
union was held at Sycamore Hill, the

lilies calling on the president. No Off
cial visitors of Importance were re

Until within a few days it had been
supposed the president would return to
Washington to receive formally the
Observation-Disclosures of Russia and Japan

capital but while no definite decision
has been reached in regard to the mat
ter II is quite probable now that the
reception. should one be deemed neces-

NEWSB0YS ON
THE WARPATH
Street Sales of a San Francisco Paper
Stopped.
POLICE LOOK ON CALMLY
NO EFFORT MADE TO STOP THE
DISORDER.

DAN FRANCISCO, June 29.-The Bu1le-
tin of this city is engaged in a unique
contest with several hundred news
boys. who have declared a boycott
against the paper and refuse to
sell it on the streets. The boy
colt is the result Of the Bulletin S
attitude toward Mayor Schmitz and his
administration. For some time the Bull
letin has been attacking the mayor and
his adviser, Abe Reuff, accusing them OF
grating and maladministration of the
citJ's affairs. In retaliation a newsbOyS
union has been organized. and at a meet
ing they were addressed by Mayor
Schmitz. who spoke of his friendship for
them and stated that he had induced the
Evening Post to sell its papers to the
newsbOys at the rate of four for nickel
instead Of two, as charged by the BuIIe-
tin
The newsbOys thereupOn issued a proc
iamation demanding that the Bulletin
sign a years contract with them which
would bind it to sell four papers to them
for cents The boycott went into effect
yesterday. and although the Bulletin an
nOUDced that 1t would give papers to the
boys for nothing, they were not handled
on the streets. a crowd of boys sur
rounded the Bulletin office and attempted
To prevent all persons from leaving the
office with paper- Papers were
snatched from the hands Of grown men.
and mObs of boys attacked the Bulletin
carrier wagons. A large force of police
was on hand. but they made no attempt
t. quei the disorder.
The Bulletin states that the bows have
made no demand for cheaper papers and
says they have been incIted to their ac-
ton by the mayor, who wants revenge
for the papers attacks on him
The violent scenes of yesterday were re-
peated today when the Bulletin appeared
on the streets Crowds of boys seized the
papers and tore them into shreds Car
.4r1d hraz- Ill
boys and papers were taken from them
and destroyed.

VIII be Thorough.
THE investigation of this company
will be as thorough as it is possible to
make it. The request for the investi-
cation was prompted by a desire on the
part of the officers Of the Mutual Life
to have the exact status of the company
made clearly known to the public The
life insurance atmosphere has been so
befOgged by the troubles in the Equita-
bic that many persons are labOTing I'M
der the impression that others of the
big companies are in the same position
as the Equitable. Since the airing of
the troubles in the Equita bic we have
received many communications from
our agents in various parts of the cOun-
try telling US that it was becoming
more and more difficult TO secure bust
ness on account of the growing distrust
of the people against all life insurance
companies, and we decided that the best
and quickest way to do away with this
distrust would be by an investigation.
No matter what the outcome is. the
public shall be fully informed of it"
