His Reputation as
Lawyer Tarnished,
Taft Says at Yale
RousingIy. Welcomed by Students,
Former President Gives Heart
to-Heart Talk of Future.

NEW HAVEN, CONN, April g.
Former President William II. Taft
received one of the greatest ovations
of his career when he arrived at New
Haven to make up his duties as pro-
fessor in the Yale Law School. The
student body-3,0OO strong-met the
Taft party at the train, presented Mrs.
Taft with a huge bunch of violets,
and to the strains of old Yale songs,
escorted the Taft automobile TO the
campus.
There Mr. Taft was called upon
for a speech. Visibly affected, he
said:
Men Of Yale. | hope that Mrs. Taft
and I are to become permanent resi-
dents of this city. You may have
heard more or less discussion when
Presidents of the United States are
retired-voluntarily or otherwise-as
to what should be done with them.
When l took inventory. all l had
was a somewhat furnished reputation
as a lawyer. a profession that had
abandoned so years ago, but at the
suggestion of President Hadley, it
was decided that what little law l
had left might be put into practice
here.
Il am here to work in the ranks
with you and to aid the president Of
the college. l propose a cheer for
Arthur Hadley."

Upton Now Seeking
Only Chance at Cup
English Yaehtsman's Unconditional
Challenge for the America Is
Likely To Be Accepted.

Special Gable TO The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, April 3.--Sir Thomas
Upton has issued another challenge
for the Americas cup. In this one
he valves his contention that he
should be allowed to race a 15-foot
boat and agrees TO race under the
original conditions, which allow both
contenders to use craft up to 80 feet
in length.
1t is inevitable that the New York
Club viii accept this challenge.
The action Of Sir Thomas is a sur
prise to English yachtsmen, who be-
lieved that after the New York Yacht
Club had taken advantage of the
technically to turn down Lipton's pre-
vious challenge, he would retire from
the field and leave it clear to another
Englishman who was said to be
willing to make an unconditional chal-
lenge.

Morgan's Death Good
Thing For Church, Is
Minister'S Assertion
Rev. Geo. Richmond Creates Sensa-
ton by Saying Bankers End
Was ProVidential.

NEW HAVEN, CONN, April 5.
Rev. George Chalmers Richmond, a
Philadelphia Episcopal clergyman,
created a sensation at the meeting of
the Connecticut alumni of the Yale
Divinity School to-day by saying he
was not sorry that J. Pierpont Nor
gan was dead and he thought the
Episcopal Church would make great
er progress as a result.
Mr.. Richmond amplified his pre-
vious statement later by saying:
THE title of my sermon in Phil
adelphia Sunday will be. Did j.
Pierpont Morgan Go To Heaven, And
If Not, Why Not? Like the loss of
the Titanic and the Ohio floods, the
death of Mr. Morgan was providen-
tial. l believe that as result of his
death, the Episcopal Church will
make far more rapid progress. Mr..
Morgan had the house of bishops
under his control and he had the
diocese of New York in the hollow
of his hand. Under his rule more at
tention was paid TO cathedral build
ing than to social welfare. He was
a man who believed in inequality alb
solutely and cared nothing for union
labor"
Rev. Mr.. Richmond raised a storm
at the time of the announcement of
the engagement of John Jacob Aston
to Miss Madeline Force by bitterly
renouncing the~proposed marriage.

McCIeIIand Says He Will Furnish
Proof of Corruption at Coun-
Gil Probe Monday,
MAYOR TO SEEK THE TRUTH
Searching investigation of Accu-
sations Promised-Fire Inquiry
Halted by New Charges.

Proof of the corruption of two city
aldermen will be furnished to the
City Council. according TO a statement
by Alderman John f. McClelland to-
day.
He sat in his room at a private
sanitarium and told a Georgian re-
porter that he would welcome a de-
mand from Council that he substan-
tiate charges he made before the Fire
Probe Committee yesterday.
He said he would produce more
startling evidence than he had init
mated, possibly adding a third al
derman TO his list"
Council Monday will begin a far
reaching probe as a result of the ac-
cusations. Councilman Albert Thorn
son said he would be prepared to Of
fer a resolution asking for a thorough
investigation, 1t was reported that
the Aldermanic Board would act as a
separate body, because the charges
were directly against its members.
Wants Whole Council to Act.
Councilman Thomson said, however
that he thought the whole Council
should act, as it does on all similar
matters.
when a member Of our body int
mates graft, it is our duty to unearth
the truth" he said.
Alderman McClelland refused to
give the names or the transactions
with which the officials were con-
nected.
The most authentic reports are that
his exposures will deal with the
granting Of near beer saloon permits.
Startling rumors about some mem
bers of Council borrowing money from
prominent owners of saloons often
have been circulated.
1t is said that majority OF the
saloons in the city are owned by a
few men and that several of the
largest have been fighting for a mo-
nopoly. 1t has been OBVIOUS to those
noting the spirited fights over saloon
permits in Council that some strong
influences were being brought to bear.
Mayor to Seek the Truth.
Mayor Woodward's comment on the
Aldermsn's charge was that he would
do all in his power TO bring the truth
to light.
Alderman McClelland to-day said
that as he had observed the progress
Of the fire probe he had become 50
disguised with the sort of politics
being played by city officials that he
had made up his mind to fully expose
them.
IF the aldermanic board wants the
facts, let it call on me-" he said. THE
honest men in that body will have
strong pressure brought to bear on
them to drop this matter"
IntimatiOn of new evidence Of cor
ruption in city departments has
halted the decision of the Fire
Department probe committee. Ii
was stated to-day that the
committee would not report until the
stenographic records Of its hearings
had been studied.
Mayor Woodward's statement that
the committee had an opportunity %
unearth other irregularities in the
Fire Department has puzzled the
members. Councilman Charles W.
Smith said he would be glad to con-
tinuc the investigation for a year il
only he knew how to get new evil
dence. Mayor Woodward concluded
with the remark that he vas too
busy to act as prosecuting attorney.
