NEGRO COLLEGES IN
ATLANTA SPLIT OVER
WHITE PRESIDENT

Dissatisfaction over the control of
the school by a Northern white man
has led to a separation Of Clark uni
versity and Cannon Theological sem
mary, negro colleges OF Atlanta, which
were united under one head two years
ago. The local board of trustees decid-
ed upon this at recent meeting and
the action was concurred In today by
the resident board OF managers.
For long time the negro students
and those interested in the school have
been Of the opinion that the two
schools, as a consolidation, were retro
crossing, because of the fact that the
president. Rev. S. E. Idleman, Of Gin
ctnnati, had no personal interest in
their operations. His desire for con-
troll, according to local negroes of an
opposing faction, was purely for the
purpose of controlling the vote of the
negro Methodist church in the South
in the conference of the Northern
Methodist Episcopal church.
When the board of trustees decided
upon a separation, DR.. Idleman was re-
elected president of Cannon seminary,
but Clark university is without a presi-
dent The negro students are said to
be unanimously In favor of a negro
president who shall be a resident of At

TAI 7 BOMB TALE
ALARMS CAPITAL
Story of Miraculous Escape Of
President Causes Concern,
But 1t Is Denied.

WASHINGTON. July 1s.-A story
widely circulated throughout Washing
ton to the effect that an Internal ma
chine containing six pounds of dyna-
mite had been sent to President Taft
and that Sherman Allen. one of his
secretaries, had been slightly injured
by the bomb, caused wild excitement in
Official circles for several hours today.
The report was so apparently circum-
stantial that various legislators called
al the white house 20 tender their con-
CALCULATIONS to President Taft for what
had been reported to be "a miraculous
escape from death on the part of his
secretary"
When the excitement had reached its
clim"i, however the report was de-
clared to be false. Mr.. Allen cmphati-
cally contradicted the report. denying
an internal machine had been received
al the white house yesterday addressed
to President Taft, that it had been
opened and the lighted fuse smothered
only by the prompt action of Mr.. Allen.
There is absolutely nothing in the
story" said the assistant secretary.
Chief Wilkie. of the secret service,
also denied the report
1t transpired later that the story
originated with cub" reporter who
was the victim of a hoax perpetrated
by group of older newspaper men.
after he had written the narrative for
his New York paper the truth was
given him. This, however made him
suspicious and he would not be delayed
in telegraphing his story to his paper
The paper published the story early this
morning.

This unfinished sentence, penned on
the back of an envelope which was
clasped in his hand, told the last wish
of r. F. Jones, of Covington, who was
found dead from drinking carbolic acid
in Grant park early today.
story of failure and a prayer that
she would be happy and forget him

the dead man left to his wife.

carbolic acid lay on the ground by his
side; another bottle was in his pocket,
and a small vial containing what the
police believe to be cocaine was with it.
The body was found early today by
