UNOBTA|NABLE
Noted Chicago Orator Not
Able to Appear at Law
School Exercises.

Hardly had THE TIMES been off the
press yesterday evening announcing
that the commencement exercises for
the Lincoln-Jefferson College of Law
had been set definitely for next We'd
nesday. June 22d, when Col. James
Hamilton Lewis of Chicago as the com
mencement orator. when DR. w. Mayes
Martin, president of the college, receiv-
ed a telephone message to the effect
that Col. Lewis engagement had to be
cancelled owing to an operation which
he must undergo for his throat
While the announcement caused a
disappointment among the admirers of
Col. Lewis, and the students and
friends OF the school, the cancellation
will not be permitted to cause any ma
terial change in the plans for the COM
mencement. DR.. Martin was unable to
make a definite announcement today as
to the speaker who will take the place
of Col. Lewis, but expects to know in
a day or two.
The breakdown of Col Lewis was not
surprising to those who have watched
his career during the commencement
season. He could scarcely speak above
a whisper and may be confined to the
hospital for several weeks As re-
suit he had to cancel some big en-
gagements.

ket which contained some clothes and
that the basket was addressed to A.
Peterson at Creston. The agent hav-
ing found no A Peterson at Creston

son who lives near Lowell and notified
him but the latter informed the agent
that he receives his express at Lowell.
