PRES. TUCKER RESIGNS
ILL HEALTH THE CAUSE
Stress of Work Becomes Too Much for Head of
 Dartmouth.

Hanover, N. H., May t2.At the col lege vespers this evening the announce ment of the resignation of William Jew cit Tucker as president of the college was announced to the student body of Dartmouth. Acting President John K. Lcrd said that Dr. Fuckers resigna ton had been mailed to the trustees last night. Dr, Tucker is convinced that because of i'll health he will be unable to continue as president. He will leave Hanover at once on leave of absence but will return next fall and continue his duty until a successor has been appointed After that pr. Tuck CT plans to remain in Hanover, assum- inS a lectureship upon the general sub- ject of the formation and expression of public opinion in democracy, He will doubtless remain also on the board of trustees.
 Ernest M. Hopkins, secretary of the college gave statement tonight say- ing that for more than two years It has been an exceedingly exhausting thing at times for pr. Tucker to meet engagements which involved public speaking, and more recently, at in- creasingly frequent intervals, unusual effort of any kind has brought reaction from which recovery has been slow
 "The causes have not been plain until within little time and pr. Tucker had thought that he could go in full vigor to the time which he had set for withdrawing from the work, In two or threa years. Upon his return about the middle of February, however, from an extended western trip among the alumni associations of the college, during which he was under constant stress of public engagements, he was seized with an attack Of uncommon se~ verity. Later the last of March he was again subjected to like attack from which he has not yet recovered, and a weakness of the heart action was re- vealed as the cause"

TWO VESSELS LOST.
Terrific Collision Between American
 and Norwegian Boats.

Vineyard Haven. Mass, May 12--As the result of their terrific encounter off East Chop last night, the Norwegian steamer Edda and the American four masted schooner sagamore rest on the bottom of Nantucket Sound to-day. about two miles apart, awaiting the action of the underwriters, owners and wreckers.
 The Edda, with her decks just above water, may be raised from the western edge of Squash Meadow shoal, but the Sagamore, a comparatively new vessel, is likely to remain a menace to navi- gation in mid-ehannel, and in one of the busiest ocean highways of the coast, until she is broken up by dyna- mite,
 That no one was killed in the crash or was carried down when the Saga more foundered ten minutes after sho swung away from the Edda, seems little short of marvellous.

STRIKE MAY EXTEND.
Longshoremen's Unions Threaten PhiI-
 adelphia and Boston.

New York, May 12.-President Pat rick Connors, of the Longshoremen's union, expressed the opinion tonight that the strike against the transatlan- tic steamship companies would be ex- tended to Boston and Philadelphia If the companies sent their vessels to dis charge and load at those points. This the steamship officials here said they would do If sufficient help could not be secured here.
 MT. Connors' statement followed a meeting of the strikers, at which he said 1t had been shown that not man had deserted the ranks of the strikers, while many strike-breakers had cast their lot with the men who were out.
 MT. Connors had heard nothing from the Teamsters' union, which he had previously stated would vote to go out.
 Produce union, local 449, of the h. ternational Brotherhood of Teamsters. did hold a meeting to-day, but 1t was subsequently, stated that nothing was done relative to a strike in sympathy with the longshoremen.
 Vernon H. Brown, agent of the Cu- hard line, said tonight that his line had not been, and would not be, af- fected in the slightest by the strike.

JAPAN AND TURKEY
Stumbling Block to Formers Ambition
 to Create an Embassy.


 Constantinople, May 12. - The pour parlers by which Japan is seeking to establish diplomatic relations with Turkey and the location of a Japanese ambassador at Constantinople have en- e uttered a rather serious stumbling black Japan wishes to be treated on the same footing as the great powers of Europe with respect to the "eapitu- lations by which Turkey gives foreign powers certain supervision over her in- ternal affairs. including schools, mis- siens, consular courts, etc. The porte is firmly opposed to conceding these privileges to Japan, as al! the efforts of Turkey within recent years have aimed at the restriction, and ultimate abolition of these privileges to foreign powers.
 On the surface there are no 1ndica- tions that any of the European powers are actively opposing the establishment of a Japanese embassy at Constantine pie. but it is by no means improbable that certain powers would find it in their interest to intrigue against the project. It is obvious that the presence of a Japanese diplomatic representative would naturally tend to strengthen the position of the British ambassador in view of the Anglo-Japanese alliance.

POSTOFFICES ROBBED. TWO LOOTED FOR $1, 400 Men Unknown Got Away With That Amount in
 Money and Stamps.

Word was received las evening at the local police station of the robbery of two of the postoffices in Newtown, one at Sandy Hook and the other at Hawleyville. The robbery occurred Saturday night and was not discovered until yesterday. About $1,4Oe in money and stamps was secured by the rob- bers. Of this $1,0O0 was taken from Sandy Hook and $s25 in money and $75 in stamps from Hawleyville. It is believed that the robbers were pro- fessionals, as in the case of Sandy Hook the safe containing the money and stamps had been drilled near the combination and the lock picked with wire pickers. At Hawleyville an ex- plosiye, probably nitro-glycerin was used, but not more than enough to blow open the safe, without injuring the building.
 The postoffice at Sandy Hook is lo- cated in new building occupied only in addition to library, and as botH are locked up early in the evening, there was no one about to disturb the robbers.
 The Hawleyville postofflce is in an almost ideal location for a thorough and quiet footing such as took place last night. It is In the office of El- ward c. Platt, a lumber dealer who Is also the postmaster. It stands at the rear of large factory and Is be- tween 2,000 and 5000 feet from any residence Here also the robbers pried open window to effect entrance, and departed leaving the door unlocked. When Mir. Platt entered the office this morning he found the safe blown open money and stamps taken and papers scattered about. He also found on the floor what is said to be a complete set of burglars tools.
 The postoffices robbed are about four miles apart, and it supposed that the same persons operated at both, that they went to Sandy Hook first, and forgot the pickers, that they intended to use the same methods at Hawley- vile, but finding that they had left the plckers at Sandy Hook, were fore ed to resort to the use of an explos- i've.
 The local police are on the lookout for the robbers. There is no definite clue to their identity.

HAS MADE NO DEAL.
Toraker Denies That He Has Agreed on
 Compromise.

Washington, May 12-senator For aker of Ohio tonight issued state- ment on the Ohio situation, in reply to Representative Burton, saying that so far as he (Foraker) was concerned. no effort whatever has been made to make a deal, bargain or a compromise with anybody about anything; that the statement Issued by George B. Cox of Cir cinnati was not in MT. Foraker's in- terest or with his approval, but he thcught MT.

GREAT INTEREST TAKEN
COMING OHIO MEETING
Interesting Both From a State and National
 Standpoint.

Cleveland, May 12.-No political gath ering held in this state in many months has excited so much Interest as that of the joint meeting of the republican state central and state executive com mittees to be held at Columbus on Wednesday of this week.
 Senator Charles Dick, of Akron, chairman of the state central commit- tee, and Walter F. Brown, of Toledo, chairman of the state executive com mittee have sent invitations to the Ohio republican members of congress, and many other republican leaders in the state, asking them to attend con- ference and to give their views on the best means of maintaining harmony in the party and reconciling clashing po- litical interests. It is predicted by po- litical leaders that the gathering, while not as large as the state convention at Dayton last fall, will be none the less interesting and important, both from a state and national standpoint, inas- much as it is expected to take a long step toward shaping Ohio politics of the present as well as next year.
 The friends of Secretary of War Will liam H. Taft, led by Arthur I. Vorys, of Columbus, and Congressman Theo- dore E. Burton, of Cleveland, accord ing to authorized statements of those in the confidence of the Taft organiza- tion, will insist on an unqualified en- dorsement by the committee of Secre- tary Taft as Ohio's choice for the pres ideney, and will stubbornly oppose the linking of that endorsement with the prospective contests for either United States senator or governor.
 The report that Senator Dick would father a resolution in the committee coupling together endorsements of Sem Iator Foraker and Governor Harris. both for reelection, was denied by Senator Dick to-day. He said
 T have not contemplated introduce ing such a resolution and do not expect to do so."
 Senator Dick declined to further dis cuss political affairs in advance of the Columbus conference. Senator Dick will attend the committee meeting, and he and John R. Malloy, of Columbus, will be among those who will look aft CT Senator Forakers interests, but along just what lines they are not ready to disclose.
 Congressman Theodore E. Burton, who left here Sunday evening for St. Louis, where he is to deliver an ad- dress on Monday, positively declined to make definite statement as to his po- sltion in connection with the senator ship. Close political friends of MT. Burton say it will probably be several weeks before g, formal announcement as to whether or not he will become a candidate against Senator Foraker will be made
