DENY PRESIDENT REMSEN
LEAVES JOHNS HOPKINS
Trustees of the University, as
Well as Dr.. Remsen, De-
clare Report Is False.

BALTIMORE, February A general
denial has been issued here that President
Ira Remsen will give up the presidency
of Johns Hopkins University. Upon the
receipt of a message here today that DR..
Charles Homer Hoskins. dean of the
Harvard Graduate School. and since 1902
sity. has been rendered the presidency,
every member of the board of trustees of
Johns Hopkins University who could be
found In town today, including President
Ira Remsen himself. was seen. Every
one denied. in positive and unqualified
terms. that President Remsen would leave
the university or that the board of trus-
tees was contemplating the choice of a
successor to DIR. Remsea
\ meeting of the board will be held
Monday, but it was stated positively that
1t had nothing to do with a change in the
presidency. None of the officials of the
local university was more surprised at the
report than Dr. Remsen himself. He said:
DR.. Remsen Denies Report.
THE report is absurd ard absolutely
without foundation. I have not resigned
from the presidency of Hopkins. will not
resign and am not contemplating resign
ing How the impression got abroad that
my place was to be filled / cannot imag-
ire. think. moreover. that if the gentle
men of the board of trustees were look
ing about for my successor l would have
been advised of the fact in some way or
another. The report is quite ridiculous
and without foundation
n. Brent keyser, chairman of the board
of trustees, left for the south today Ac-
cording to Mrs. Keyser, however. Mr.
keyser told her the report was utterly
false
Judge Henry d. Harlan of the supreme
bench is one of the members of, the
board of trustees. IF the presidency
of Johns Hopkins University has been
offered to DIR. Charles Homer Haskins,
said Judge Harlan, lit has been done by
some one who is not in authority and
without the sanction Of the board of trus-
tees
May Be Princeton University.
Miles White. jr.. another Of the Hopkins
trustees, said that no doubt the reports
about DR.. Haskins being offered the presi-
dency of Johns Hopkins University were
confused and that in fact the messages
should have read that Dr. 4iaskns has
been offered the presidency of Princeton
University. Other trustees seen also de-
MED the report.
PHILADELPHIA, February TT was
learned from authoritative sources here
today that the presidency of Princeton
University has not been offered to Dr.
Charles Homer Haskins, dean of the Har-
ward Graduate School.

IMPROVEMENT SHOWN
BY ARCHBISHOP RYAN
Physicians, However, Will Not
Say That He Is Out
of Danger.

PHILADELPHIA. February AFTER a
weeks illness. during which he was many
times close to death because of attacks
Of the heart that caused unconscious
ness. Archbishop Ryan tonight showed
considerable improvement, and those
about him are even daring to hope that
he may continue to get stronger and be
about again.
Inc archbishop threw a damper on these
hopes. however, when. in answer to a
remark of one of those about the bedside
that he looked well. he said:
Yes. l feel that way. too, but do not
make it too strong. for something may
happen at any minute
The physicians in their statements dur
ing the day used cautions language. While
stating that the archbishop had maintain
ed the improvement that set in early
today. they did not indicate that he had
passed out of danger.
Bishop Whitaker. Ill.
While Roman Catholics OF Philadelphia
were watching their beloved archbishop
In his serious illness there came the news
that another high churchman. the Ri,
Rev. OH w. Whitaker bishop OF the
syivania, also was very III at his home
in this city. Bishop. Whitaker was at
tackled some time ago with the grip. but
complications are causing some apprehen-
sion.
Bishop Whitaker will be eighty-onc
years old May 10 next, while Archbishop
Ryan will be eighty February 20 The
two prelates have been close friends for
years, and il was their custom yearly to
exchange birthday greetings.

Resignation Is Accepted.

The executive committee Of the State
Anti-Saloon League has accepted the
resignation of DR.. James Cannon, the
superintendent. 1t was expected that a
successor would have been chosen at the
time that the resignation was accepted,
but there appears to have been some
hitch, and there are some details to be
fixed before the gentleman selected for
the position will be chosen. 1t is ex-
pected that the Rev j. A. McAllister, one
OF the officials of the league, will be
chosen. He has been connected with the
work tor some time. DR.. Cannon will
take up some sort of church work in
North Carolina.
The league will hold meeting in New
port News in February. when the reor-
ganiZat ton of the committee will take
place. At this convention of the league
Representative Carter Glass will make an
address on the subject of the destruction
of the constitution of the state by the
liquor interests, basing his statements on
the acts of the liquor men in registering
many negroes in the local option tights.
Authoress Roasts Men.
Miss Mary Johnston. noted as an au-
thoress Of several popular books of fic-
ton. made an address before the vir-
ginia Nurses Association here, in which
she delivered several broadsides at the
men, She declared that some of the
newspapers and magazines had been en-
gagged in alleged humor and coarse Jokes
at the expense of the women. disclosing
the idea of man when Gealing with n
subject that was too deep for the mass of
the men to understand.
She believed that TIL will be known
as the century when women will come
into their own. She discussed the waste
of public money for various affairs, and
the niggardly manner in which the
schools were provided for. Miss Johnston
urged the nurses to stand together and
to lend their energies to advancing the
cause of votes for women

Want to Go to Congress.

Following the announcement of Repre-
sentative Carter Glass for the United
States Senate. State Senator Don p Hal
sey of Lynchburg has declared himself
Il candidate for the place now held by
Representative Glass. He says that it is
true that the election is some time off,
but that as Mr.. Glass has signified his
intention to move up higher he will,
just as soon as Mr. Glass shall have been
elected, como out for the unexpired term,
and will certainly be a candidate for the
full term, the election to be held next
year.
II is said that there is a good deal OF
feeling being shown in the first district,
where Representative Jones has his home
Mr.. Jones wants to be a United States
senator, and it is being limited that sew
eral OF the stanchest of the supporter
of that gentleman have for years had
their eyes on the place which Mr. Jones
now holds. An announcement of candi-
dacy for Congress to succeed Mr. Jones
Is expected at any time.

Who Has the Agreement?

Norfolk reports are to the effect that
a gentleman now connected with the re
form. element has a copy of the alleged
agreement between the machine and
the liquor interests of the state, concern
ing which there was a good deal of dis
cIssion when the last subernatoria cam
pa!gn was on. The allegation was that
an arrangement had been made whereby
the liquor men of the state were to sup
port the machine" and nominate Gov.
Mann, aud that In return there would be
no anti-liGaor legislation at the last ses-
si01. Ct the general assembly.
1t Is recalled that the senate did kill
the proposed statewide bill by an over
whelming vote, but the liquor laws were
amended in several particulars, one being
an enormous increase in the cost of Ia
censes for business purposes in Virginia.
Gentlemen who are alleged to have been
connected with the making of the agree
.nent IL, question have long since denied
thai there was anything of the sort.
