TOM LAWSON BRAIN cHuRNINe

The country had reason to believe. since Mir. Tom Lawson told the peo- pie that he would resign them to their fate-and an awful one at that while he returned to his stock gambling, that 1t had heard the last of his preachments. But here he is again. this time in the New England magazine and under so high sounding title as The Future of Our Coun- ry"-just as though he cared a thing about 1t. When Tom started in with his frenzied finance exposures he found a ready, large and enthus- iastic following, because he sounded sincere and indicated a high purpose. But his climax and, worse than that, his ante-climax, returning to the pit and calling upon his following to en- ter and wallow with him there, was so pitiful that one wonders that magazine could be found to give him space. The very language in which his effort is advertised shows to what extremity he has ,eome-a mere clap trap sraining after effects through the coinage of strange words. In circular announcing the Lawson as a contributor the hitherto safe and san New England magazine is guilty oi this-eyidently written by Lawson himself.
 Thomas W. Lawson acided itself to the innards of all red.blooded hu- mans everywhere, when at its first try at literature it sailed over the heads of all begged wOrdsmiths. Since then it has circle-burned hide bound precedent and stripe-seared yised custom"
 Now what do you think of that?
 ITO those who think that NT. Law. son could never equal those marvel. lous hyphenated pirouettings; that he had touched the limit of his barb. ed sarcasm, tear.distlHng pathOs, and razoredge power of incision, which eye.bulged the word microscopes of the world when they first appeared in print" the editor submits some samples, like this:
 But to blueprint the future of Am erica one must know not only the people of now and the people of way back there, but he must know how to result the men and women constit- uents Of human chemistry; a brain. churning, eye-stilting task,
 That nothing succeeds like sue cess has never been more conspicu- ously illustrated than in the case ot our ancestors and the country which they red.white-and.blueed into the map of the world"

Titled Italian Refuses to Discuss Re-

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK. March 21.-The duke of
Abruzzi, cousin of the king of Italy,
who is reported to be engaged to marry
Miss Katherine Elkins, sailed for
Europe today on the steamer Lusitania.
UP to the hour of sailing the duke de-
clined to affirm or deny the reported en-
gagement. but his demeanor was re-
garded by the reporters who gathered
at the steamship pier as not that of a
man who had failed In an important
mission. The duke was registered as
Luigi Sarto.
He boarded the steamer early this
morning and was accompanied to the
dock by an attache of the Italian lega-
ton at Washington and by a secret
service man. To the reporters at the
doc,- he said:
Il am very sorry that I have no in
terview to give out, but come and see
me at 8 o'clock"
"But the ship sails at that hour"
said one of the newspaper men.
Yes. I know it. l stayed up late to
escape this. Everything is all right.
Miss Elkins family has refrained from
making any public statement and an
erroneous construction has been placed
upon their silence"
1t is understood that the duke will
disembark at Liverpool and hasten to
Rome
ROME, March 21.-The following ex-
PLANTATION of'the present situation with
regard to the reported engagement of
the duke of Abruzzi and Katherine
Elkins, daughter of Senator Elkins of
West Virginia, was obtained today from
an unimpeachable authority:
The duke of Abruzzi came to Rome in
February and dined with King Victor
Emmanuel He did not ask his ma
jesty's consent to an engagement with
Miss Elkins. He did, however. obtain
leave of absence from the minister of
marine and went to America. The
king, learing through the newspapers
that the duke contemplated an engage
ment with the daughter of the Ameri-
can senator, sent word that the duke
must return to Italy the first of April
the date when his leave expired.

Professor Clark Says Action Was
MISUNDERSTANDING OF
247 Men Con-
tinued

BY Associated Press.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March
21.-Considerable oil was spread on the
agitated waters of student sentiment
this morning when Prof. Clark ex-
planned, unofficially. that the purport
of yesterdays announcement concern
ing the suspended men had been mis-
understood.
From his remarks it seems probable
that there will be faculty concessions
after all.
The signers of the parade petition
this afternoon signed the statement
passed by the student body Thursday
night, which apologies for any breach
of discipline occurring during the pa
rade. This was done to satisfy the
committee that the paraders really
Joined in this public apology. The ac-
ton was taken only after a stormy
debate, but everyone signed. 1t will
be presented Monday morning
The committee at noon discontinued
the hearing of the remainder of the
247 until Monday.
Definite action will probably be de-
manded from the committee when this
last apology is presented,
Many alumni have been on the
campus today interviewing prominent
students to get the facts of the situa-
tion and no small number have at
tempted to place the matter before
President Jordan in an endeavor to
have him interfere and prevent still
more serious and complicated situation.
While the students feel that the 247
will not be permanently dismissed.
there is no additional light on the case
of the original twelve. which is really
the question at issue.
Chairman Clark held conversation
with a number of members of one of
the college organizations, in which he
declared it was the purpose of the
committee to complete the hearing of
the PAT men who engaged in the pa
rade and then consider their cases with
those of the twelve men already sus-
pended. This practically amounts to
the reconsideration for which the stu
dents asked

committee is seeking to carry the mat

WASHINGTON, March 21.-President
Roosevelt has determined on legis-
lative program, the enactment of which
Will be urged upon congress in a special
message which he said today will go
in next week. Each of the measures
to be proposed involves perplexing diff
culties and each will have for-reaching
effects on business and economic condi-
tions of the country.
The program is the product of inn
portant conferences through which the
president has been put in possession of
the views of all interests concerned.
Likewise the attitude of the leaders
in both branches of congress has been
made known.
Its success depends upon the COM
bined effort which he believes can be
brought to bear in behalf of the whole
plan by those dHecleu, especially py
some one of it's features.
For Tariff Revision
The program includes; A declaration
in favor of the revision of the tariff in
q special session to be held after March
4, 1909; an amendment to the Sherman
antitrust law so as to make important
concessions to combinations of both la
Dor and capital; limiting the powers of
certain courts in the use of the injunc-
ton in labor disputes; passage or an
employers liability bill; passage of the
Aldrich financial bill,
The support of the business and
financial interests of the middle west
was pledged to the president on this
program, following an extended confer
ence held at the White House last
night. A most satisfactory conference
was held at the presidents office today
with leaders of the two houses of con-
gress.
The details of last nights conference
were purposely withheld pending the
morning conference. At the conclusion
of the latter a statement was made
public by Secretary Loeb in which he
said that at conference with the pres
ident held at the White House last
evening with the following representa-
tives of commercial bodies of the mid
die west:

Forest Park University at st. Louis
Destroyed-AlI Personal Be.
Iongings of Pupils
Lost

BY Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, March 21.-Forest Park
university, a private school for young
women with an enrolment of students
from all parts of the country. was
destroyed by fire today. All persons
in the building escaped in safety. al
though there was panic.
The four-story building. constructed
of stone and wood, was located in the
center of a seVen-acre plot of ground
Immediately south of Forest Park in
the western limits of the city. At IL 80
o'clock fire was discovered in the up
per portion of the south wing. Quickly,
all those in the building filed out Of
the exits and congregated on the lawn.
The students lost all their personal be-
longings.
A general alarm was turned in call
ing out the entire city fire department,
but owing to the remote location of
the institution, the fire had gained
headway before any apparatus arrived
The flames swept rapidly through the
building and within an hour it was in
ruins. 1t is believed tie fire started
from defective fiue.
The institution was founded as Kirk
wood seminary in the village of Kirk
wood in 1861 by Mrs. Anna Sneed
Cairns. In 1861 it was incorporated
and removed to st. Louis as Forest
Park university and occupied an inn
posing structure. Forest Park uni
versity was the first university to be
chartered solely for women in the
United States. The faculty, of which
Mrs Cairns is president, includes more
than twenty teachers and the univers-
ity specializes in music and elocution.
The building was not equipped with
fire escapes and the young women
crowded pell-mell through the corrl-
doris, struggling with one another in
their efforts to gain the open air, but
none were injured in any way.
