PRESIDENT ELIOT TURNS
 DOWN PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT I

New York, June 23.-A special dis patch from Boston to the Tribune says: | Despite the appeal of President Roosevelt and Assistant Secretary of | State Robert Bacon, Fish and Morgan, the two crew men suspended for Vio- latIon of the rule against removing books from the Harvard Reference h. brary, will not be permitted to row in the Yale Harvard Boat race. President Roosevelt made a personal appeal to President Eliot by telegraph as soon as he heard of the suspension, the Harvard executive to make any change in the ruling. The full corre- spondence consists of the two tele- grams. one from the president to pres ident Eliot, and the other. an answer from President Eliot President Roose- velts telegram read:
 President c. W. Eliot, Cambridge: ''Is it not possible and would 1t not be more ntting and just to substitute another punishment for Fish and Mor- gan, if, as is stated, they merely took away a book which they were permit ted to use in the library. It seems to us, and we feel sure. that 1t Is unfair and unnecessary to make others suffer for an offense of this kind for which be found.
 Theodore Roosevelt"
 Robert Bacon"
 President Eliots repdy was as fol- lows:
 To President Roosevelt, White House,
 Washington, D. c.
 Each man did a dishonorable thing. One violated his private interests and in a crooked way. rule made in the common interest, while the other gave false name and did not take subse- quent opportunity to give his own. The least possible punishment was putting them on probation, but that drops the men from the crews. A keen and sure sense of honor being the finest result of college life. think the college and graduates should condemn effectively dishonorabIe conduct. The college should also teach that one must never do scurvy things in the supposed in- terest or for the pleasure of others.
 (Signed) Charles W. Eliot"

BIG TRAINED ARMY
WAR DEPARrMENT PERFECTs AN
 INAUGURATION PLAN.
At the President's Call, Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Men Can Be
 Mustered at . Moments Notice.

New. York, June 23.-The War de- partment has perfected a plan for the virtual amalgamation into a trained army of z50,000 men ready to answer the call of the president, of the regular and national guard troops in the Unit ed States. Assistant Secretary of War Oliver. who now Is at Pine Camp wit messing the department of east maneu- vers. has given out this information.
 Secretary Oliver in outlining the militiamen is now a misnomer and that plan for the reorganization of national and state troops. declared that the word malitiamen is now misnomer and that the state troops since the passage of the Dick bill by congress. are United States volunteers.
 The war department plan means nothing more nor less than that the moment this country gets into trouble, the so called national guard organiza- ton will cease to exist as such and im- mediately become units of the regular army absolutely under the control of president and the secretary of war.
 This scheme" said General Oliver, lis the first move in the plan to make this country military power. Before this we had no authority over the state troops. better known perhaps as militia and national guard organiza- tions. What we propose to do is orga- nize these state troops and all the regu- lar forces into eight army corps and the New England states, New York and other states in the military division known ss the department of east, will constitute the first army corps.
 "The manuever grounds. here on Pine Camp, if the government buys them. will be in. place where the national and state troops that will be in the first army corps will have the field training Tn other words. 1t means that tive years hence, b0.000 men will be mobilized on this plan. As at present planned. the war department will be able to put in the field almost immediately an army of 250,000 men. Part will be perfectly trained and the efficiency of the rest will be so increased that they will form a smooth working force"
 This new plan obviates all possi- bility of confusion in the event of sudden call to arms There will be no troops around the country in haphazard fashion and every regiment. state and regulars will know exactly where it belongs and where 1t is to go. tThe plan will facilitate every feature of mo- Utilization. It will be my duty to put this plan into operation. but should the necessity arise. my successor can carry on the work without the slightest Interruption, so perfectly and so thor oughly worked out are the plans of the department.
 Prior to the passage of the Dick law the president of the United States had practically no power at all over the militia organizations But now in view of the recent legislation. the mfli- tiamen enlist for deal service and in the event of war his status is that of a regular and no re-enlistment on his part is necessary"

TAFT AND FoRAKER
MAY REACH AN AMICABLE WORK
 ING AGREEMENT.
Ii Is Reported That Taft VIII Favor FOrakerss Reelection to the United

If Is Reported That Taft VIII Favor
 FOraker's Reelection to the United
 States Senate From Ohio.
 New Haven, Conn, June 2S.--For sew eral weeks, persistent rumors have been in circulation that an amicable agreement would be reached between the Taft and Foraker forces in the war secretary's home state of Ohio.
 When senator Foraker added to those of other prominent republi- can leaders his congratulations To Secretary Taft on his nomination, the rumors were rife. It can be said that all of the exchanges on political matters between Secretary Taft and Senator Foraker have been published. They consist merely of Senator Fora ker's congratulatory message and the secretary's response thereto. When secretary Taft's attention was direct ed this afternoon to the report from Washington that he would favor Fora ker's reelection to the senate, he re- marked that he would prefer to say nothing at this time concerning it.
 "Just say" he added carefully, meas uring his words "that I decline to dis cuss that matter at this time. All that has passed between Senator Foraker and me has been published. I cannot say anything more at this time"
 Secretary Taft personally has had no more than mere formal communi- cation with Senator Foraker since the Chicago convention but it is known that friends of both are making efforts to bring them into harmonious reIa- tions and it is believed their efforts may meet with success.

sixteen Years of Success and Thousands of Cures Prove Its Worth.
 There is an absolute guarantee to re- fund the purchase price on any bottle of pr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin that does not do what is claimed for it on the label or in our ads. We do not make this guarantee to increase the sale of our goods but because we do not want your money if we can do you no good.
 Millions of bottles sold each year and not fifty returned on those sales speaks for itself of the merit of this famous stomach and bowel remedy. Letters from thousands of people-mothers who give 1t to their babes and take it themselves. old people who gratefully tell of lives prolonged and made hap pier by good health. doctors who cast aside prejudice and give honest and honorable testimony to its worth, drug gists who use 1t fin their own homes. sisters of mercy and nurses in hospitals who tell of patients relieved quickly. easily and safely, all join in unstinted and whole-hearted praise of this medi- cine. the favorite prescription of a modest unassuming country doctor who used 1t for years in his practice before advertising 1t to the world. Mrs. AL mon Willis, Jamaica, Vt, says: T tru- Ay UCAoNC ~ catNu my littit uOy tAAO. H. H. Crawford. Decatur. says: Doe tors told me I couldn't live, but pr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin cured me" Mrs. c.

Young. druggist, Ozark, Mo. says: T use it in my home and recommend it to my customers. pr. L. A. covey, Savannah, Tenn, says: T get better results from it than any other pepsin I ever used."e It restores normal daily bowel action in the worst cases and is safe and pleasant for ba- bies and delicate women. All druggists sell it at soc and $1. % per bottle. Pep sin Syrup Co, S15 Caldwell Bldg, Mon- ticello, H., is glad to send a free sam pie to any one who has never used 1t and will give 1t fair trial.
