IN FAMOUS UNIVERSITY
CAN'T PRACTICE BECAUSE OF
HIS MANY APPOINTMENTS

Washington, Dec. 19.-President
Taft has decided to accept the Kent
professorship in law at Yale and
probably will take up his duties at
New Haven in the spring.
The president was said last night
to have determined upon accepting
the Yale professorship for several
reasons. He will not be restricted
merely to lectures to Yale students,
but will be permitted to lecture II
he desires in other law schools or
upon the platform or to engage In
any other occupation which he sees
fit.
If the president had returned to
Cincinnati to resume law practice
he felt he would have but little op-
portunity for practice. He felt that
he could not appear in cases before
the United States supreme court be-
cause he has appointed majority
of its membership.
He remembered, when he thought
of the law, that he had named many
federal judges in Ohio before whom
he might have to argue cases, and
believed that the only sort Of prac-
tice he could take up would be inter-
national and that he regarded as
uncertain %
At Yale the president will be in
surroundings dear to him and in
position to engage in almost any
sort of business fitting to former
president.

the greater part Of the furniture.
The fire. which is supposed 10
have been caused by defective
flue, was first seen by John VINO
we'll, a neighbor. One of his boys
was sent to the Crowell home to IN
form them that smoke was issuing
from their roof. Mrs. Crowell was
at home, her husband having gone
to town. he Immediately telephon-
ed to him. and he, with nearly 10y
others, rushed to the scene and
made desperate efforts to save the
home. but the best they could 90
was to save that furniture which
was found on the first floor. Tne
fire had started near the roof, ana
this rendered it impossible to gain
access to the upper rooms by the
time help arrived.
While the house is said to nave
been insured for $500 this would
scarcely cover one-third of the loss
sustained by the fire.
