COLONEL FAIORS
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

OYSTER BAY, N. Y Special
Theodore Roosevelt has announced,
through Judge Lindsey, of Denver,
that he is in favor of woman suffrage
in this country, and that the platform
which he will submit to the Chicago
convention will contain an unequivo-
cal declaration to that effect.
Judge Lindsey spent two hours with
Colonel Roosevelt yesterday. The OBJ
ject of his visit was primarily to per-
suade the colonel to announce that
he was in favor of woman suffrage.
Heretofore Colonel Roosevelt has
merely said that he believed the ques-
ton Of woman suffrage had been sub
mitted to the women themselves for
determination whether they wished
the ballot. AS the Judge was leaving
Sycamore Hill, he said:

LANIPOON GIVES
OWEN JOHNSON ADVICE

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. Special. The
Lampoon, the Harvard undergradu-
ates' humorous publication, has thrown
down the gauntlet to Owen Johnson,
the author. who has written i'll of Har-
ward and her institutions. The edito-
rial reads in part:
Because a man has written a best
seller about Yale. exposing the push
button and successfully pushing his
hero into Skin and Bones. il does not
necessarily follow that he can write
about the social inscription (whateVer
that means) OF Harvard.
"A man who happens TO be in Cam
bridge about thirty-five minutes. while
waiting for a car. is hardly fitted to
write a criticism Of Harvard. Radcliffe,
the Washington elm or anything else
on the hOroZon.
What little man does here at Har-
ward is not for the sake OF social ad-
vancement or to make a club so that
he can wear a striped tie and talk to
his admiring relations about il. He
does ii for Harvard. To be sure, there
are bitter feelings and heartburnings
and jealousies. Many men do not get
the recognition they deserve and many
do not deserve the recognition they
get, but they who stand the test are
the filter for what may follow.
"A college is not a school for boys.
1t is a place where men are trained
for the world. Reform the world first,
Mr.. Johnson. then begin on its train
ing schools"

MUST Bring suit
TO RECOVER PAPERS
RICHMOND, VA, Special

r G. II on o n ID, V A, Special
1t would appear from the forego-
ing letters that Librarian Scott,
though proceeding with his hands
tied, was almost as eager to get the
missing documents as was Mr.. Pom
dexter. He makes it clear, however,
that in other quarters there was no
disposition to seize the opportunity Of
fered the State
Another note, by Mr.. PoindeXter, at
this point says:
For sequel, see Storey's letters in
Governors message, December, 1897.
Acting on his own responsibility, he
(O'Ferrall) recovered half the papers
on compromise. The State is in
the beggarly position of engaging him
(Storey) to sue, and then repudiating
the engagement when the work is
done and the suit practically gained.
Libbie's estimate was that the docu-
ments would bring at auction between
$1,000 and $4,000"
Mr.. PoindeXter adheres to the be-
lief that the Commonwealth may still
recover the residuum of the missing
papers, but in official quarters some
hold that, in view of the former COM
promise, which in a way was ratified
the State is estopped from proceeding
further. The matter, however, is still
pending. 1t has been referred to an
arbitration board.

AMERICAN ARRESTED
ON CHARGE OF FRAUD

NEW York. Speculative police
lieutenants met the Kron Prinz Will
helm, when she arrived Wednesday and
arrested Clark a. Miller and Alfred
II. Motley, Jr., upon the charge Of
grand larceny of 100000 from the
United States LithOgraph Company.
The two men have figured in inter-
national negotiations for weeks, as
they were arrested in London upon a
warrant issued by the President and
were discharged May 31st on the
ground that the proper eXtradition
papers had not been sent from this
country to England.
Immediately after their release the
two men came TO America to fight
their cases without eXtradition papers.
They are charged with getting $780,
600 from William Gilman, Jr., presi-
dent or the United States Autograph
Company, by making false representa-
tons concerning the value of a litho-
graphing process.
