BROADDUS BOARD
TO BE INCREASE
Number Of Trustees to Be Rails
ed 10 Fifteen to Serve
I Three Years.

Broaddus Institute IS about 10
make 3 radical change such as was
advocated q few years ago by the
Telegram Ia the matter OF the tenure
Of the board Of trustees of that insti-
tuition.
II Is recalled that the Telegram
pointed out that the board Is ofie
that perpetuates Itself, This feature
was felt to be Objectionable and
many baptists throughout the state
we're aroused to a sense of the cor
rectness of the Telegram's conten-
tinn.s As a result the agitation for. a
change In this respect reached the
general association of the denomina-
ton and after some time steps were
begun TO make the desired change,
Obstacles We're found but these are
being gradually overcome, and 1t has
arrived at the point where the Insti-
tute has decided TO increase the
number of trustees to fifteen and the
length OF tenure in office TO be three
years. In other words, I'VE trustees
are TO be elected every year and the
board Is to be comprised OF fifteen
members
The manner of the selection OF the
members of this board Is now the
only question. The Institute offered
to select three each year and permit
the General Association to choose
two each year. This appears 70 be
not quite satisfactory to the assocla-
ton and its proposition Is, that 1t be
allowed TO nominate two persons for
each place on the board and that the
Institute select the members from
such nominations.
The last named proposition might
have been decided yesterday after
noon, when the board held a meeting,
but the majority Of the members were
not present at the Institute and the
matter was deferred until the ses-
sions of the General association in
Parkersburg the middle of October,
when the board will hold a meet
ing.

President Directs Attorney General
to Start Preparations at
Once.
TO BAR TECHNICAL ESCAPE
He Declares There Is No Question Of
Guilt or Of Exceptional Gravity
Of the Onense.

President Roosevelt from Oyster Bay
has announced in unmistakable terms
the determinatio Of the administration
to proceed with the prosecution of the
Standard Oil case. despite the decision
adverse to the government handed down
by the United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals. The decision. the President
thinks, In no way affects the merits OF
the case, and he makes known hts de-
cision TO cause the action to be brought
again before the courts In such shape.
II possible, as to prevent technicalities
interfering with a decision based upon
the actual issues involved.
The statement In the matter, made
public u Secretary Loeb. follows:
The President has directed the Attor-
ney General Immediately to take steps for
the retrial of the Standard Oil case. The
reversal of the decision OF the lower court
does not in any shape or way touch the
merits OF the case, except IN 20 far q
the size Of the fine is concerned. There
is absolutely no question of the guilt OF
OF the defendants or of the exceptionally
grave character of the ofense.
The President would regard 1t m q
gross miscarriage of justice IL through
any technicalities of any kind the defend
ant escaped the punishment which would
have PROFESSIONALLY been melted out -
any weaker defendant who had been guQr
ty of such offense. The President will
do everything in his power to avert or
prevent such miscarriage Of justice. With
this purpose in view the President has
directed the Attorney General to bring
into consultation Frank B. Kellogg In the
matter and to do everything possible 70
bring the offenders to justice.

peals, sitting In Chicago, which deliv-
cred the judgment in the Standard Oil
case. When shown the statement from
Oyster Bay relative to the decision, he
wrote the following:
There is no more reason why I should
take notice Of The comment Of Mr.. Roose-
welt thanI would Of any private citizen,
for the Office that he fills and the Office
that the judges Of the Court Of Appeals

How sins Reeves TsrseA the Tables
On One Of His AdnlFers.
Sims Reeves, who In his day was &C
cepted a. the most celebrated tenor on
the concert stage. was 70 much Of q
favorite that whenever he sang he was
usually greeted with q hearty encore,
accompanied with enthusiastic cheers.
Z Reeves was very good natured about
the matter, but he made It a rule never
to sing more than one selection when
he felt that his voice was not in nrst
class shape. He happened to notice
that an elderly man, who turned out
to be a dealer in hats along the Strand,
London, attended nearly every concert
within convenient distance II Sims
Reeves happened to be on the bill and
generally led the encore brigade. This
halter was a persistent person and Of
ten applauded until he had forced
Reeves to respond to double and triple
encOres.
Determined to teach the little halter
q lesson, one afternoon just as dark
was approaching, Reeves entered his
admirers store and said, Zone hat,
please naming the particular shape
which he desired. The little halter
didn't recognize the great tenor, and
banded him out one hat.
Good" said Reeves. "How much
b this hat?"
Five shillings," said the store pro-
prietor.
Encore" said Reeves
A second hat was forthcoming, ana
Reeves ultimately obtained three "en-
core" hats. When the little halter de-
manded fl sterling for the purchases
Reeves pretended to be furious.
"Send these four hats to this ad-
Dress" ordered the tenor In terrible
tone, but I only pay for n hat Do
you understand? The three other hats
are encore hats. II you make me sing
songs for nothing you must send me
hats for nothing"
