STUDENTS SUSPENDED
And President Roosevelt Asks President Eliot the Reason
 For It

Cambridge, Mass, June 22.-Presi- dent Roosevelt, in his capacity as Harvard alumnus and an advocate of healthy sports, has been in communi- cation with President Charles w. Eliot, the head of the university, re- garding the suspension from college of Sidney w. Fish and Charles Mor- gan, Jr, members of the boat crew. The fact that President Roosevelt and President Eliot have been in com munication is definitely known here but the tenor of the correspondence has not been given out.
 Fish, who rowed at No ? in the varsity shell, and Morgan, who was member of the varsity four-oared crew were suspended last week for violation of a rule prohibiting the taking of certain books from the university library. It is understood that the men who were about to leave for Red Top, Conn, were detected in the act of removing certain restricted books from the library. Their action was reported to the faculty and their suspension followed after they had arrived at training quarters at Red Top. It is known that the president has interested himself in behalf of the suspended oarsmen and that correspondence between the nations head and the president of Harvard has been in progress but inquiries at the college office to-day were met by the suggestion that information on the subject should come from the presidents summer home at Oyster Bay.

HIS FIRST MASS.
Another Waterbury Boy Recently Or.
 dained-Said Mass at St Joseph's.

Yesterday was big day at St Joseph's Lithuanian church on James street, when the Rev Father Gruszas of this city, recently ordained to the priesthood at Chicago, celebrated his first mass in the presence of a con gregation that thronged the edffice to its utmost capacity, many being present from neighboring towns. The young priest formerly resided on James street, within short distance of the church, and has many friends and relatives in town who were much pleased to see him on the altar. He will remain here for week or two when he will leave for Chicago, the diocese for which he was ordained and in which he will be assigned to duty. He is the first memter of St Joseph's parish to be raised to the dignity of the priesthood and nat urally the pastor, Father Saurusaitis, and the church folks generally feel the distinction and are proud of the success that has attended Father Gruszas's efforts at the seminary.

Earle said that he made muzzle for
