WHEN TAFT'S NAME WAS

During Taft's senior Year, New Haven was visited by a crack -brained tragedian calling himeslf The Great Uncrushed Historian, Author, Jour nalist and Actor. Count Joannes" He attempted to play Richard III. before an audience of students and towns people in music hall, and as had happened elsewhere the performance was stormy one, enlivened by hi- larious efforts to suppress the Count" " After guying the actor and the play until the hall was in an uproar, the students engaged in a general fight with the New Haven police force. There were many casualties from brickbats and clubs, and eight under graduates were lugged off to jail A few days later the following card was published in a local newspaper, fol- lowed by the signatures of a score of prominent undergraduates con- spicuous among them the name of Wm. H. Taft:

 The commission desires to secure the opinions and observations of farm CTS, teachers, ministers, business men, and others on the condition of country life. and their suggestions as to what needs to be done.

The commission desires reply to- the questions under any one or more of the heads. The names of correspond ents will not be made public.
 The commission will be glad of any fuller discussion of the above subjects that one may desire to make, or of any other subject pertaining to the general economic. social. or sanitary

 The barefaced attempt to lure the Count" back to New Haven for an other scene of tumult failed of its purpose. for it was promptly exposed as a forgery out of whole cloth. As a leader of class sentiment, "Bill' Taft would have been the last man to lure the poor half-mad tragedian back to certain destruction, and he at once denounced the fraud and set out with fire in his eye to find the guilty mischief makers.
 The author of the forgery was not discovered It would have gone hard with him had Taft been enabled to lay hands on him. Genial and teasy of temper, he was not to be trifled with when there was fair cause for honest wrath, which blazed into swift action.-From Taft at Yale,' by Ralph D.

HENEY SEEKS ID LEARN
 ABOUT SECRET CAUCUsEs
The Defense in the Ruef Case Op- poses His Inquiries.

San Francisco, Nov. 9-Verbal duels between counsel and lengthy argu- ments upon the admissibility of cer- tain evidence and the right of As sistant District Attorney Francis J. Heney to unveil the proceedings of the famous Sunday night secret eau cuses." tended to retard the progress of the third trial of Abraham Ruef today. now in the eleventh week. MT Heney sought to show through ex- State Senator Geo. B. Keane, former secretary of the supervisors, that Ruef attended the Sunday night caucuses and the relations existing between Ruef and James l.. Gallagher. the all legged agent and leader of the board
 This brought forth strenuous ob- jections from Henry Ach. counsel for Ruef. Considerable time was taken up by Heney interrogating Keane up- on what became of the lost minute books of the caucuses. Keane stated that all but one were destroyed in the fire of April IS. 1906. and that he was unable to find the only one saved.

 Once when Douglas sneeringly quoted part of Lincolns "house- divided against-itself'' speech, the republicans burst into applause, which brought an angry response from the unwary ora tor; and when Lincoln began by read ing a document, some one in the crowd shouted, Put on your specsi" possi- ply anticipating a smart reply. But Lincoln was in no joking mood. Yes, sir" he responded gravely; q am obliged to do so. 1 am no longer a young man"
 Then for an hour and a half he held that mighty audience by the sheer force of his theme. Now and again there was a burst of cheering, but the speaker made no effort at oratorical effect and employed no device to tighten his argument. Douglas was not yet as serious as his adversary, for he had entered light-heartedly upon the contest, and did not immedi- ately realize the magnitude of the task he had undertaken. From the very start he assumed the offensive and continued his attack, scarcely deign- ing to notice his opponents replies throughout the day.
