He visited the University Club of New

the best known social organizations OF
college and university graduates in Amer

civil war, its purpose has always been
the promotion of literature and art. Nc

graduated from West Point or Annapolis
or has received an honorary college de-
gree, in which latter case he must, in
addition, have been distinguished in liter
ature, art or the public service.
The atmosphere Is therefore absolutely
congenial to the President from all
standpoints. But he used this club en-
tirely as a place where he might write
his letters and carry on the correspond

men who were to constitute his cabinet

POLICE BOAT TARRAGON, TERROR

Sam, however, realized that he had struck
something good. that he had not paid
more than the thing was WORTH, as he
often is said To do when buying various
supplies for his multifarious needs. and
he refused to let go of the Tarragon. In
addition $4,000 was spent in repairs.
Just before the vessel left Washington
recently a wireless apparatus was m
stalled, which, it is claimed, IS the finest
small wireless set on any boat In the
United States. Naturally il should be a
first-class plant for 1t was prepared ana

apparatus, directed the assembling OF the

The compactness of the plant, COM
bined with the fact that it has SHOWN
exceptional sending and receiving
power, makes the officials here very
proud of it, said 4. j. Tyrer acting
chief of the bureau of navigation; Ben
jamin L. Wolf, United States radio in
spector, also has gone along on the
boat and will enforce the radio laws
of this country and of the London m
ternational radiotelegraphic conyen-
tfon along the coast with particular
attention to waVe-lengtn and Operdt-
ing and traffic regulations. From a
point near Norfolk, Va, the Tarragon
was able plainly to hear the time sig

an approximate transmitting range by

Tarragon should never be out of wire
