quickly withdrew from the conference,

LOVING CUP FOR CLEVELAND
Princeton Undergraduates Give the
Ex-President a Loving Cup of
Silver and Ebony.

Princeton, n. j., March 27.-The en-
tire undergraduate body of Princeton
university paraded to the home of ex-
President Cleveland on Bayard lane,
and presented him with a loving cup.
The cup was to have been given to
Cleveland on his 10th birthday ami
versary, March IS, but he was in the
south at the time. The cup, which is
of silver, stands more than eighteen
inches high on an ebony base and
bears the inscription:
TO the Hon. Grover Cleveland. 4
slight token of love and esteem of the
undergraduates Of Princeton univer-
sity, presented on this 18th day OF
March, nineteen hundred and seven,
his 10th birthday anniversary"
That Cleveland was touched by the
ceremony was apparent by the broken
delivery of his response to the pres
entation speech, in the course of which
he said that in acquittal of the debt OF
gratitude he owes them Il shall make
partial payments by an increasing love
for you and all undergraduates OF
Princeton, and by an increasing devo-

POWERS OF THE COMMISSION
Thaw May Be Examined Physically
Effect on Counsel.

The Thaw lunacy commission will
be attended by District Attorney Jer-
ONE. The lawyers for the defendant
will also be present. and the commits
sicn may direct and compel the at
tendance of any witnesses it may de-
Rire. 1t is probable that Thaw will be
asked first Of all to submit to a rigid
physical examination. Having under
gone several of these since his incar-
ceration he is somewhat nervous on
this subject, but it is said by his coun-
sci that he will do anything in his pow
er to aid the commission with its work,
and that he hoped for an early opinion
as to his sanity.
Thaw's lawyers and the defendant
himself were downcast when they were
first made acquainted with Justice
Fit2gerald's decision, but all were
manifestly pleased when the later an
n0uncement as to the personnel of the
commission of inquiry was made. Del
mas in particular declared that Jus
tice Fitzgerald could hardly have Sc
lected a more generally satisfactory
ccmmission-one whose decision would
command more confidence and respect.
Justice Fitzgerald's conference with
the attorneys lasted less than twenty
minutes. To the newspaper men wait
ing outside the chambers District At
torney Jerome as he emerged uttered
the one word: Commission" Jerome
was soon followed by Hartridge,
O'Reilly, Peabody, Delmas, Gleason
and McPike. One Of the men in this
group was heard to remark as he left
the chambers: 1T couldn't be worse"

Later, however, the attorneys seemed
TO take brighter view of Justice Fitz-
gerald decision. Hartridge said: 'We
lid not expect a decision of any sort
today, much less the one that was
rendered. We had hoped the trial
might go on without further interruD-
ton. The commission will mean con-
siderable delay. This will be particu-
larry trying to the ladies connected
with the trial. Now that the deciS-
ion has been rendered, however. if is
hard TO see how Justice Fitzgerald
could have done otherwise. OF course.

Not Afraid.

New York, March q. Harry X.
Thaw may never again face the jury
empanelled more than nine weeks ago
to try him on the charge Of murder
In the first degree. Justice Fitzgerald
has unexpectedly handed down de-
cision ordering commission in lunacy
TO inquire into the present state of
mind OF Stanford Whites slayer. Tha
decision Of the three disinterested men
now to conduct the inquiry will guide
the future action of the court as to
ordering Thaw to an asylum for the
insane or directing that the indefinitely
interrupted trial for his life shall pro-
coed.
Thaw Expresses Confidence.
Justice Fitzgerald announced the APP
pointment Of the commission privately,
in his chambers. Mrs Harry Thaw
was there with the lawyers and it be-
came her task to break the news to
her husband in the Tombs. fearful
when she left the judges rooms in the
criminal court building, the young
woman who has been such con-
spicuous figure in the trial from first
to last was smiling and cheerful when
Thaw was brought from his cell to the
hospital ward of the prison to meet
her. Thaw received the courts decis-
lon phiosophically. and said he had
no doubt the commission would de-
clare him q sane man.
Men Who Form the Commission.
Tho personnel of the commission
named by Justice Fitzgerald lends a
new distinction to this already notable
case. The men who will determine
Thaw's mental capacity are: Morgan
j. OBrien, an ex-justice of the APP
pellate division of the supreme court;
Peter B. Olney, ex-district attorney of
New York county, and a lawyer of
high legal attachments; Dr. Leopold
Putzel, practicing physician and au-
thority on mental disorders. The Thaw
jury was ordered on last Friday to
report before Justice Fitzgerald today
ut 1870 Il. M. At that hour there was
a brief court procedure, the jury be-
ing excused indefinitely.

Washington, March 27.-That Sena-
tor Foraker does not concede that Sec
rotary Taft will be Ohio's choice for
the presidential nomination next year
is made plain by a statement just is
sued by the senator. Senator Foraker
GAYS that he does not want any politi-
cal honors from the people of Ohio
without their hearty approval" ana
he suggests that the proper way to de-
termine who is the choice of the people
to head the Republican national tick
ct and to represent the state in the
United States senate is for the Repub-
IiCan state executive committee to au-
thorize a primary election to choose
delegates to the state convention which
will be called upon to determine these
questions.
Understood To Be Candidate.
The announcement of State Superin-
tendent Of Insurance Arthur l. Vorys
that he will support Secretary Taft for
the presidential nomination led Sena-
tor Foraker, it Is believed, to issue the
statement outlining his position. The
senator declares that he is willing to
go before the people on his record and
that he has nothing to conceal from
his constituents" Foraker does not
say that ne will be a candidate to sue
coed President Roosevelt but it is gen.
orally understood among his friends in
WaShip zion that at a later date he
will formally announce his candidacy,
and that If the primary election is
called in Ohio he will enter into the
fight to secure the Endorsement of his
own state.
Too Busy to Talk Politics.

says: Il have been so busily occu-
pied that have had neither time nor
disposition to even think about poll
tics, either state or national; especially
politics that belong to next year.
