PRESIDENT eliot SLIPS DOWN
Lays Aside Robe of Office He Has.
Worn for Forty Years as Presi-
dent of Harvard.

Cambridge, Mass, May 19.-Charles
William Eliot laid aside yesterday the
robe of office which he has worn for
forty years as president of Harvard
university, and with characteristic
simplicity stepped back into private
life.
The passing of President Eliot YES
terday and the advent of President
Lowell today, while noteworthy in the
history of Harvard, was unmarked bv
interruption in the regular pulsation
of college work. A tall, dignified fig
ure, with well poised head, grave face
and kindly eyes, simply gave place to
one of short, athletic build, alert in
countenance and eye. Next fall the
university will fittingly honor it's new
head by formal induction into office.
President Eliot presided Monday at
his last meeting with members of the
corporation and yesterday held his
last conference with members of the
faculty In both instances he spoke a
few words of appreciation for the sup
port given him and received their
good wishes.
Although his responsibilities have
ceased, in closing his professional ca
reer at the age of seventy-five Presi-
dent Eliot finds himself in demand as
a public speaker.

cate Of reasonable doubt to act as a

on the general court record in the
case, will be taken in regular course,
however.
Upon learning the decision of coun-

that, acting upon the suggestion of
the court, he would take his prisoner

Scouts "Unwritten Law"
In passing sentence, Justice Garrett
son said that the defendant had had a
fair trial and had been defended by
experienced lawyers. A jury had
found a verdict commensurate with
the requirements of the law. He said
he was not aware that any errors of
law had been committed during the
trial.
Referring to the nature Of the case,
the court said that Capt. Hams had
been indicted for murder in the first
degree, the severest crime against So
ciety, and although there had been a
great deal of sympathy injected into
the case, the law did not allow man
to punish another for wrong he had
suffered or to wreak vengeance on the
man who wronged him.
After Justice Garretson had impos-
ed the sentence, Capt. Hams sat down
and dropped his head on the table be-
fore him. He seemed overcome with
emotion for few moments, but soon
recovered himself and sat upright.

Gen. Hams, the defendants father,
and Maj. John Powers Hams, who
were in court, displayed much emo
ton when the captain was sentenced.

TOWN LOT FRAUD
CASES STOPPED
Defense Makes Serious Charges
Against the Attorneys for
the Government.
TAMPER|N, WITH GRAND JURY
Attorney General Orders Proceedings
Suspended Pending Investigation
of Charges.

Tulsa, Okla, May 10. Charges
against District Attorney Gregg. made
yesterday by the defense in the Mus
kogee town-lot fraud cases, were for
warded to the department of justice at
Washington on the suggestion OF
Judge Marshall, who is hearing the
trial.
Judge Marshall refused to act on
the petition of the defense, asking
that Gregg be prevented from trying
the case. The petition alleged that
improper influences had been brought
to bear on the grand jury which was
dismissed last Saturday as the result
of charges made by Mr.. Gregg.
Court Refuses to Act.
The court assigned the following
reasons for his refusal to act:
Gregg's charges against the dis
charged jury he regarded as vague
and Indefinite
That the court had paid no atten-
ton to the charges in Gregg's motion,
but had discharged the grand jury be-
cause Of the right of the government
to change a grand jury when it so
desired.
That charges against Gregg should
be filed with the department at Wash
ington, from where he was appointed.
Proceedings Suspended.
Washington, May 19.-After receiv-
ing a long telegram, sent Monday by
Henry E. Asp, counsel for the defend
ants in the Oklahoma land fraud
cases, to Senator Curtis Of Kansas,
and forwarded by the latter to the de-
partment of justice, Attorney General
Wickersham yesterday decided to sus-
pend further proceedings in those
cases pending the receipt Of testi'
mony in support Of charges alleging
improper conduct on the part of the
government attorneys.
The attorney general also decided
that it would not be for the best in
terests of the government to substl-
tute other counsel.
Mr.. Wickersham stated that it was
his firm conviction that the govern
ment attorneys were performing their
duties faithfully and efficiently, and
that at this long range he certainly
would not interfere with their efforts.
