Students Club Reception.
One Of the most delightful occasions
of the social season was the hospitality
extended by the Students Club Satur'
day afternoon to a large number OF
their friends, at the home OF Miss
Carpenter, the president. The feature
Of the afternoon was the lecture on
Goethe by Col. J. c. Hardy, and Co
lumbia audiences have rarely had the
privilege of hearing more finished
literary production than Mr.. Hardy's
mastery handling of his theme. SO
thoroughly was he at home with his
subject and so widely did he portray
the life of the great German, that the
poet seemed to live before his audi
ence. A fine appreciation of Faust
concluded the lecture.
After the lecture, a social hour was
enjoyed and from a flower-decked ia
BILE in the dining-room members of the
club served English tea. This is the
first Of a series of open meetings that
the Students Club contemplate having
his winter and with such beginning,
hey may feel assured of success In

STATEMENT FROM
WHITE HOUSE TODAY
It Is Denied That President Roose-
velt Dictated the Planks Which
Have Caused Discussion.

Special by United Press Wire.
Washington, June 16:--The fol-
lowing statement was issued at the
White House this morning relative
to the attitude of the administra-
tion on the platform as drafted by
Mr. Ellis:
THAT which purports to be the
so-called administration platform
telegraphed from Chicago today is a
more tentative draft prepared by a
member of the resolutions commit
tee for submission to Secretary Taft
with the view of securing his opin-
ion on certain points Of its planks.
A large part of this purported plat
form was never seen by the Presi-
dent and number of planks con-
tanned in the remainder were sub
ject to amendments, verbal and sub
stantial. This and others were ten
tative, merely for the Information
of certain members of the resolution
committee who were seeking the
views of varius prminent republicans.
Neither the President nor Secre-
tary Taft has committed himself, nor
was he asked to commit himself to
any particular form of platform,
but various drafts of proposed planks
were laid before them.

is 42I FEET IN LENGTH.

The steamer Crown of Arragon,
which is declared by the custom
house officials to be the largest that
ever entered this port, came in yes
terday afternoon about o'clock and
is now at the Barber asphalt plant.
The vessel stopped at New York,
where it lay for thirty-hve hours
while government inspectors thor
oughly inspected 1t. It was thus
unnecessary to look after the vessel
in that manner in this port.
The steamer carries crew of
forty-seven men, thirty-five of whom
are Chinese. These are being watch
ed with strict percaution, as heavy
fine must be paid by the captain for
each one that escapes into the coun-
try Sleuths will be on guard day
and night.
The vessel came from Port au
Spain, Trinidad, carrying 4,200 tons
of asphalt for the Barber plant. The
captain told of pleasant voyage to
New York from the Port au Spain.
He said they enjoyed excellent
weather and had no trouble on board.
According to custom house statis-
tics, the vessel is 421 feet long, fifty
two feet wide and thirty feet deep.
It draws about eighteen feet of wa
ter. Clearance will probably be
made Saturday The captain has
not yet received orders where to go
to. He may dock at New York or he
may return at once to Trinidad.

when introduced by National Chair

assemblage as follows;

Four years ago the Republican party In

In view of this Endorsement, 1t becomes
pertinent and opportune to inquire. What
has the Republican party done in the last
four years of governmental control-in
many respects the most remarkable and
brilliant in the history of the party and
the country--to forfeit public confidence
or create distrust in its capacity for flu

beset the republic during the last four
years, yet these have been met and over

country has marched steadily onward in

MOTOR CARS
SLOW TIME
First Day Of Test Between This
City and South Plainfleld
Was Disappointing.
ABOUT "a NILES AN HOUR

The gasoline motor car made its
first trial trip between this city and
South Plainfield on the Lehigh VAL
ley railroad yesterday morning. The
first day was not as successful as
was anticipated.
The schedule time is 81 miles an
hour, but the motor car on its first
run made only 23 9-10 miles. On
the third trip the car attained
"a 9-10 miles an hour.
The car, which is being used in a
test as to the comparative cost be-
tween coal and gasoline as fuel,
when 1t made twenty-four miles an
hour yesterday, had nothing behind
it to pull.
The car has 100 horsepower and
has eight cylinders. At times 1t
makes much noise, while on other
occasions 1t runs very smoothly. 1t
was stated several weeks ago that IL
the car proved a success, it would
be substituted on the local branch
in place of the locomotive. II estab-
lished here, it is also likely that the
railroad may use them on several
branches.
Superintendent Hibbitts, of the
motive power department. was here
yesterday, watching the car, and

MISS TOOKER THE LOSER

A sneak thief entered the apart

Floersch building, ITO Smith street,
yesterday afternoon and stole a gold
watch and pin belonging to Miss Let
tie Tooker. The thief also took
twenty-five cents from a silver pock-
ct book, which was laying on Miss
Tookers dresser. Detective Huff is
at work on the case.
1t is believed that the theft was
committed by a child as Miss Took
er says that two pennies and 50
The purse was valuable.
1t is believed that the theft was
committed shortly after O'Clock as
Miss Tooker left the house shortly
before. Mrs. Tooker and wash
woman were in the kitchen.
This is not the first time that they
have missed things from the house.
Mrs. Arthur A. Quinn, who has an
apartment on the same floor, while
lying down with her son Sunday
night, heard the door open and saw
man enter. She said ''Is that you
Arthur" thinking 1t was her hus-
band. Thinking 1t strange that he
did not reply, she arose and found
the place empty. When her hus-
band came home she learned that he
had not been in before.
The fiat on the third floor of the
building is vacant and noises have
been heard there on several occas-
ions. When Miss Tooker discover
ed the robbery at 8 o'clock she went
to this fiat and found the door open.
1t is believed that the thief has made
1t his hiding place, while awaiting a
chance to enter the rooms.
Patrolman John Dunham last
night, searched the vacant fiat but
found no one.
