worth, who was formerly a staff Off
GER in the Philippine islands.
Just as the train was moving slowly
out on the way to Groton, a middle
aged man ran quickly down the plat
form behind the presidents car and
when he reached within q few feet Of
It, deliberately threw what looked like
a paper parcel toward the president.
one of the detectives tried to ward
off the article before it struck the car
but it landed safely through harm
Iessly. The missile proved to be a silk
flag, inclOsed in paper bag, the gift
Of the admirer.
The train reached Ayre Junction
oh A -
the GrotOn school was waiting with
big siX-seated Russian sleigh. drawn
by two fast horses, and as the sleigh
ing was excellent, the president and
his daughter had a delightful drive of
about three miles to the school At

Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Ethel who
had remained there over night by
Kermit Roosevelt and the Rev. Endi-
colt Peabody, the principal of the
school. After dinner the party went
to the. Hundred House" where the
president was introduced to an audi
ence made up of about 150 students
and parents and friends of the pupils.

pleased to call a short sermon to
the boys
Among other things, he said that
when he. finished his college course
his friends advised him not to enter
the governing class, as it consisted
mostly Of an undesirable type of per-
sons, but he had told them that he
had fully made up his mind to take
part in the work of government, He
resolved, also, he said, TO enter the
cavalry service so that in case of
trouble he could do his own fighting
and not depend on others to do that
for him.
The president attacked the subject
of football and told the boys to take
advantage of their education rightly
and always play the game of football
fairly. He expressed the opinion Wig
orously that intercollege football
should by no means be abolished.

short one" concluded the president,
"and now | wish good luck to all of

A substitute committee spent the

Senator Bailey are of the opinion that
the committee can make the sngges-

senator. If this procedure is followed
the minority of the committee will

1t is also stated that some Of Bal
