MEMORIAL FOR
 NATHAN HALE
His Old Sch0Olhonse in New London Placed Beyond the
 Reach of Change

Park Commissioners Stover of New fork announced recently that owing to the excavating for the Lexington Avenue Subway the statue of Nathan Hale must be removed from It's Origf- nal site in City Hall Park. There arc not many memorials to Hale in t11e East, curious as this may seem. One of the best known is that in New Hondon, of which the Connecticut city is justly proud. This is the old which Hale was teaching when he 1Ea6d his toRltFyss csalss ss

The school was Incorporated by the Gen. eraI Assembly in October, 1774. and Nathan Hale then eighteen years old, was It's first teacher x
 It was a noted school and its pro- prietor, who drew an unusually large salary for those days. was looked upon 4s one occupying a post of great honor Hale is said, to have been a firm disciplinarian, although an excel lent and popular teacher. One who knew him in New London described him 4s "a man of many agreeable qualities: frank and independent in bearing; social, animated, ardent" He was a great favorite. Many of the ladies wept bitterly when they learned of his tragic death.
 Friday, July IT. 1775. just one month to . day after the battle of Bunker Hill, within two weeks of the expir- ation of the term for which he had been engaged, he wrote to the propr1e- tors of the school and asked them to release him at once; which they did. Hes accepted a commission as Leuten- ant under the command of Capt. Webb and went from New London directly to Boston, where he took active part in the siege of that city.
 It was in the little old red school house in New London that Hale took leave of his pupils on the eve of his departure. He gave them earnest, loving counsel, and after praying with them shook hands with each and per- sonaIly bade him goodbye.
 For many years the little building remained about as he had left it, un- til in the natural course of events it outlived its usefulness as school house and was converted into a dwell ing. Two generations later when one of the large manufacturers needed the site on which it stood, 1t was pur- chased by the Daughters of the Revo- 1ution, who after restoring it as near ly as possible to it's original appear ance had it moved to an old burying ground, where it is now used as a museum. Tn the same burying ground is the tomb of Jonathan Brooks, where Benedict Arnold sat on horseback and watched the burning of New London and the devastation across the river at Fort Griswo.d.

 ROOSEVELT
Taft Says He'll Win if He Gets
 Vote of Unindicted

Norwalk, Ohio, May 1S.-Col. Roose- welt in a speech from his car here yesterday declared that the powers of privilege in. the Democratic party are helping our opponents in every way possible"
 2.In New York and Massachusetts the great Democratic papers repre- sent the reactionaries, 'standpat Demo cratic element; the element that IS responsible to Wall Street: mean papers like the New York Sun, Her aid, World, Times, Evening Post" said Roosevelt
 "In Massachusetts papers like the Springfield Republican and all the pa pers of that stamp, I mean. The pa pers that helped Parker in 1904 in New York and Massachusetts are practi- callye to man the organs of MT. Taft in this argument.
 They are Democratic only nominal ly. They are interested most in re- action. They are doing the bidding of Wall street and they have come to the who supported MT. Parker in 1904- that they can do best work by oppos- ing my nomination and trying to get someone else nominated by the Re- publican party. And it is a. curious thing that the bulk of newspaper sup
 
 sachusetts and New York, has come from those nominally Democratic pa pers that did everything they could for Parker and the Democratic lead CTS in Congress are working In every way to try to prevent my nomination, partly because they are afraid I will win if am nominated and partly be- cause they do not like my style any, how.''
 Zanesville, Ohio, May 15.-That trust prosecutions by his administration have arrayed powerful moneyed inter ests against his reelection was de- clared by President Taft to-day in a speech at Roseville. He mentioned Dan R. Hanna, son of the late Sem ator, owner of Cleveland newspapers and an active supporter of Col. Roose- welt.
 "It is difficult to arouse much enthu- siasm for your candidacy among peo- pie who are being prosecuted said Taft. 'They are apt to be verye an- gry with you MT. Dan Hanna, of Cleveland, was indicted for relating. This made him very active against me and he thinks that am no patriot and not good candidate for anoth- CT term. But the unindicted are in the majority and if they'll stand by me, can afford to lose the indicted vote"
 Taft declared in detail that he had carried out the promises of the Chica- go platform, which was approved by MT. Roosevelt and myself The Pres ident's voice showed the effects of two Major T. L. Rhoades, his aide, and physician, said he believed Taft's voice would hold out until his day of rest in Cleveland tomorrow.
