A LITTLE BUSIER DAY
FOR THE PRESIDENT
Mr.. Roosevelt at Harvard Takes Issue
With President Eliot on the Subject
OF Athletics.

Boston. Feb. 23-The visit to Har-
ward University TODAY Of Theodore
Roosevelt. who came not as president.
but as a grad" returning to meet fel-
low Harvard men. including his own
son, Theodore Jr.. developed into one
Of the busiest days OF his career.
Harvard hospitality was showered up
on the president during his two visits
TO the university citv and a host OF
personal friends claimed all OF his
spare time.
The principal event was President
Roosevclt's address to Harvard Union
Two thousand Harvard men. mostly
undergra duates. gathered in the livine
room and gave the president a mag
nificent reception.
The program for the day included
return to Rostou. where the pres
ident was the guest Of Bishop Law
renee at tea and then he paid a visit
to Cambridge where he attended the
Porcelain club. into which his son was
Initiated tonight
The function was distinctively pri-
vate and at the close the president
returned to the home Of DR.. BigeloW
10 spend the night. Tomorrow he vii
visit Groton. where he will join Mrs
Roosevelt. Miss Ethel IS at Grotor
school.
That section Of the presidents ad-
dress at the Harvard Union relating
To athletics was discussed ny the un-
dergraduates tonight. The student.
We're quick to notice that the views
Of the president on athletic sports
contrasted greatly with those OF Pres
ident Eliot. The latter has favored
the discontinuance Of football ant
hockey on the ground that they are
rough and sometimes brutal.
Today the president declared en-
phatically that he thought Harvard oi
any other college could best attain ;
healthy athletic condition by givinl
proper encouragement to champions
Of sport and that this could only bt
done by encouraging intercollegiate
athletics. He did not want anv col
legc to turn out "molly cOddles." anC

THAWS HAVE
HEARD ENOUGH
Anxious to Stop the HOr-
ribIe Revelations
Jerome On the Other
Hand Has Other Chapters
to Add.

New York, Feb. "a Counsel for
Thaw spent a part OF today denying
the usual crop of recess rumors which
spring up at every adjournment. The
The attorneys are particularly anxious
to have it understood that they will
fight any attempt TO have a commits
sion of lunacy appointed.
Despite this the belief grows that
Jerome is continually pointing his ef-
forts in that direction. He may have
been influenced in this idea in making
the cross examination OF Evelyn Thaw
unnecessarily cruel. He hoped that the
authorities for the defense might weak
en- by the first show of severity and
agree to the appointment OF the COM
mission. When they failed To do this
jerome maneuvered in another direc-
tion, declaring that he had no taste for
the ordeal to which he was subjecting
the frail young woman. He wanted tu
have her testimony stopped long
enough to put on the stand doctors
Beemar and Bingham, physicians to
both branches of the prisoners fam
lily.
Some days ago Jerome was given per-
mission To examine the Two luESl'ldur
in his office. the idea being that their
testimony should be taken in deposi-
tions. Evidently something occurred
during the examination To cause the
defense to take a new view Of the mat
ter. The district attorney declared thai
it was necessary for them to take tht
stand as the introduction OF dispositions
was not possible without the consent
OF the other side.
Before Jerome had examined the
witnesses in person he blocked most
OF their testimony. Now he is more
anxious to get it on the records.
II is reported that Mrs. William
Thaw and other members Of the Thaw
family are anxious that the trial witt
all it's shocking revelations shall stop
Jerome has just begun to show tn,
strength Of his hand in testing tn,
crcdibiity Of Young Mrs. TEaw. an6
will have much evidence to offer con-
cerning her relations with the defend
ant before their marriage. Everything
that happened between them seems Z,
be known TO the pr0secUtor.

Harrison and met Simpkins. | told
him what l had done and said he did
not have any more claim jumpers on
his claim. He said we would rest
around Harrison for awhile and then
go back and get the rest OF the fell
lows on the other claims.
in about week or thereabouts we
went back up there and | met a fell
low by the name of Boule and another
man coming down the trail. We fired
and killed Boule. II was Jack Simp-
kins. Mcut Glover and myself. There
was another man whose name | don't
remember. We met a man on the trail
and SimpEins and Glover Fnew him.
We shot at the man with Boule. but
missed him. After that we went back
to Glover's cabin and Simpkins went
to Mason's cabin. We finally got out
by going to Glover's cabin and got a
canoe and went by the way of the ST.
Joseph river. Tho canoe was lying on
the bank and we took it.
We landed above Glover's ranch
and let the canoe so adrift. We wait
ed around there until the sheriff came
up to investigate the matter Of the
death of Boule. Then we went back
up to the place and blew uD the cab

whether il was all OF them or not
There were two or three az least.
The sheriff DID not find both bod
les, only tho body OF Roule, which was
close TO the SimplSins cabin. l don't
think the sheriff asked Simpkins about
the body. I did not get the $500 prom
ised. as Simpkins said the settlers had
promised to pay. but they were slow
in coming through. Mason gave me

per cent interest on government de-
posits. Mr.. Nelson comb9tted the idea
that such a requirement would change
the character OF government deposits
saying that II II was held that the
banks receiving such deposits were
fiscal agents" of the government the
money they received should be kept
intact and not loaned out on interest.
He said the better class OF banks did
not object TO paying interest on gov
ernment deposits.
Mr.. Nelson repeated that the secrc-
tary is now receiving railroad bonds

this at the time and Mr. Nelson pro-
duced a letter today from a banker
Of St. Paul. which stated that the sec
retary had received from him as Sc
cUrity for government deposits $3.50

MIR. Aldrich admitted that he had
