The story of life so crowned with achievement as that of Miss Jane Addams of Hull House, Chicago, and of socio- logical experiment that has so splendidly justified itself makes theme that is in- teresting to people the world over.
 Miss Addams is a woman of striking personality. both mentally and physically, and she possesses the additional attrac- tion of combining with her high culture a ready wit and a keen sense of humor which Is delightful.
 Years of foreign travel and study of sociological problems, both in America and Europe, have fitted this remarkable woman most admirably for the great work she is engaged in, and places upon her achievement not only a local aspect but universal one as we'll
 Miss Addams' settlement work in Chi cago, and the group of more than hum dred college settlements that represent her labors show what she has done for improving municipal conditions.
 These settlements are the clearing houses for the most intimate and valu- able information regarding the problems that life presents today, and in her &C., complishment of these vast questions Miss Addams stands pre-eminent as the high est type of womanhood, an ornament 10 her,sex and a power in the intelligent in- terest that women are taking in the vital questions of the day
 When I met Miss Addams last evening just before she delivered her address be- fore the National Child Labor conference at the Orpheum, notwithstanding the many attentions and courtesies that were showered upon her, she very graciousiy accorded me few moments and as she talked to me eagerly recalled the story she so graphically tells in her book, .Twenty Years at Hull House." of her :. youth, and the sensitive child's adoration of her splendid father. which afforded the inspiration that has blossomed into the full beauty of a noble life dedicated to the service of mankind.
 In answer to my question as to just why she settled In Chicago to establish her work in preference to any other city, che said:
 "I was born within a hundred miles of Chicago, and that being the largest city near me, 1t was the plausible and logical place for me to seek'

TAFT RESTS AFTER
 STRENUOUS GOLF May Take Up Morse and
 Walsh Cases HAS ALL THE PAPERS Mrs. Taft and Helen Taft Arrive From Washington and Presi-
 dential Family Enjoy an
 Automobile Ride

Augusta, Ga, March 12.-President
 Taft rested today from the somewhat strenuous beginning of his vacation yes terday when he spent nearly four hours
 on the golf links. The President was thoroughly tired out when he Jeff Washington. The busy day he spent in Atlanta on Friday when he was steadily on the go for 12 hours, did not tend to help matters very much
 and today he felt the fatigue of the past
 few months quite keenly. The Presi dent hopes during the coming week.
 however, to greatly benefit from the present outing He will not attempt any work on his message to inc extra
 session of Congress until after return ing to Washington, where he will have an opportunity to consult with both Senate and House leaders as to a post ponement.
 It IS not known as yet whether the rresldent will attempt to dispose of
 the Morse and Walsh pardon cases. He brought the voluminous papers in both
 cases with him, but has not opened either set MT. Taft is very thorough
 in dealing with all pardon matters and mas made it rule to read and digest all of the evidence In each case pre- sented to him. He devotes as much time to the cases as would a Judge on the bench and does not rely entirely upon the recommendations of the de-
 partment of justice or the Attorney General.
 It IS coincidence in connection with the case of Charles w Morse that the convicted bankers attorney, Charles w. L1ttleton Of New York, is enjoying | two weeks vacation here, prior to en- ing on to Washington, where he will assume his new duties as a representa- tive in Congress from the oyster Bay district.
 Two reports regarding the Morse case
 were current here tonight. One was to the effect that the pardon division of | the department of justice had recom-
 mended that Morse's sentence of Is years be reduced to five years and that Attorney General Wickersham had over ruled this recommendation with an ad- verse report on the application. The second report was just the re . verse of this, it being stated that the pardon division had made an adverse report and the Attorney General had recommended communication to five years President Taft said he had not read any part of the papers. What recom- mendations have been made In the case of
 John R. Wals's could not be learned. Mrs. Taft and Miss Helen Taft ar : | rived froln Washington today. Their | train was an hour and a half late and
 the President had long wait at the depot. After meeting his wife and
 daughter, the President attended ser
 vices at St. Johns methodist Episcopal
 church. The presidential party lunched
 at the home of MT. and Mrs Langdon
 Thomas. Tonight the President and
 Mrs. Taft went for an automobile ride.
 The, weather was quite sultry.

 being interested in the poor of my coun- ] try, 1t was natural that I should look

 "Yes, I knew him quite we'll" was the reply, land I always admired him very much. He was great man. Perhaps you may be interested when I tell you what Tolstoi said to me about the sleeves in the gown I wore on one occasion. It
 was the fashion then for very volumi- | nous sleeves and. looking at mine, the
 great man said rather responsibility: " There is a very unnecessary amount of material in those sleeves. There is | enough to make frock for a child Speaking of the Greek drama a moment later I suggested to Miss Addams that her encouragement of the revival of 1t in Chicago was evidently far-reaching in Its influence, since the Greeks of our
 own town in appreciation of her inter- est, are going to present to her @ Loving cup"
 T have been greatly interested in the work" replied Miss Addams. At Hull House we have small theatre, where different plays are given by the vari- ous nationalities-the Italians, Germans and others, and as we are very near the largest Greek colony in the United States, 1t occurred to us that it would be interesting to have that nationality interested, too. Miss Mabel Barrows undertook the work of presenting 8 Greek play, costuming it and staging 1t and the result was that we gave first la number of short stories from the
 Odessy, and later we gave Ajax of
 Sophocles. Afterwards the idea was taken up in New York, and the Greek
 who played the part of Ajax in our pro-
 duction was asked to come there and play the part"
