TAKE HIM AT WORD
Pennsylvania Politicians Think ROOSe-

Washington, d. c., July 12.-"In
Pennsylvania we have accepted at its
face value the Presidents declaration
that he is not candidate for reelection,
said Col. w. r. Andrews, secretary to
Senator BUles Penrose, and a promi-
nent politician of the keystone State.
Col. Andrews came to Washington to
attend the joint Congressional COM
mittee appointed to investigate the
business methods of the Post-ofiice
Department He is secretary of the
committee.
Pennsylvania has a candidate for
the Republican Presidential nomination
in Knox" he continued, "and the
State will give him it's solid vote in the
convention next year. 1t is absurd to
He is on record in the Senate as votin G
for all legislation favored by the lead
ers of his party, as is Senator Penrose,
and if he were fortunate enough to be
nominated and elected President, he
could be depended upon to carry out
all the best policies for which Roose-
welt stands. 1t was Pennsylvania thai
made Roosevelt Vice President, and it
was Pennsylvania that gave him the
first Endorsement for the Presidency
1t gave him also the largest majority
of any State IN the Union twice over
as it can always be relied upon to give
a big Republican majority"
Speaking of the postal investigation
Col. Andrew said:

The Rev. DR.. Charles r. Aked, the

by illness, and the announcement had
been made that he would not occupy
the pulpit.
For the first time since DR.. Aked
was installed as astor John d. Rockc-

encc under the circumstances revived
the rumors that Mr. Rockefeller was
displcascd with the new pastors

arrival in this country, and had pur-
poscly remained away from the church
to show his disapproval.
Tn fact the belief that Mr.. Rookie
feller had practically withdrawn
from the congregation Of The church
with which he has been so Importantly
Unidentified was so well grounded, and
his attendance yesterday so uncxpect-
ed that he found his pew filled with
strangers on his arrival. The church
was filled, and the purturbcd ushers
spent an unhappy minute until a seat
was found for Mr.. Rockefeller.

Likewise, there is little enough in it to suggest originality; though here its initiative ness is pardonable enough, in view of the fact that all college plays have to be written on basis of love and alhle- ties, which are the only features of col lege life interesting to a general pub lie that cares nothing for and would be incapable of comprehending, the vi- tai interests of the eollegian.
 Liberal allowances from the very li- mitations of the subject, made for such 3 plagiarisins as the boat race, which the manager calls the greatest me- chanical device ever invented and which it is, from the point of view of plot-construetion, as well as of stage craft; but the lines need not be drawn so literally in the case of other stage devices, such as the sunset on the campus in the first act, when Old Sol makes his exit in the east wing. Like 1 wise, the stage setting which shows fthe Thames as about the size of a trout brook is also an exhibition of rather unpardonable ignorance
 Still, in spite of it's out-worn stage devices, it's plaiarisms and anachroni- sims, it's primitive humor, it's lack of f clever lines, and it's abundance of bad i Yale" made a decided hit. Perhaps, indeed, the reason that it scored so heavily was the fact that for once a New Haven audience saw a melodrama with an original subject. Melodramas are generally plays that we naturally think of in wild and wooly environ ment, or in setting of poverty-strick- en virtue, with villain or two revok- ing in the background, and 8 buzz-saw or q leap for life in the third act; but 1 to conceive of a melodrama laid in the scholastic atmosphere of great in- situation of earning is a piece of auda- city reserved for MT. owen DAVIS alone, the successful carrying out of which is the only element of novelty In the whole play.

 "The man who brought Big Hawley' to my house was Andy Eberle. They asked me if I knew anything about Mrs. Howard Gould being married be- fore she met Howard Gould. l told them that I heard she was married to a man named Dawson, who used to be scene shifter in the Fourteenth street theater in this city, and that 1 thought they were married in Balti- more.

 ''The telegram stated that George Dawson and Harriet Lonsdale were married in Baltimore in 1882, and asked if this could be her. I sent Peabody a reply saying she had used many alia- ses and asking him if he could locate ! Dawson.
 'Iater on I was summoned to In- spector McIIaughlin's office. He put me through long examination and cross questioned me very cosely. He asked me if I was sure that the wo- men who married Dawson was Mrs, Gould I told him all I know about it, and then he said:

 Delaney Nicoll, upon whom, as counsel for Howard Gould, Mrs. Gould served notice of her suit for permanent separation upon the grounds of deser- tion, cruelty and inEuman treatment, including a police conspiracy against her, to-day made statement setting forth his connection with the alleged conspiracy.
