PRESIDENT REMOVES
TWO FROM OFFICE
T. S. Sharretts and R. H. Chamberlain,
Members of Board of General
Appraisers, Dismissed.

President Taft yesterday removed from
office two members OF the United States
Board of General Appraisers, Thaddeus
S. Sharretts and Roy H Chamberlain. In
a letter to the two appraisers the Presi-
dent stated that they had been removed
because of 'malfeasence in office"
Last fall the President appointed a
committee to investigate the adminstra-
tive methods and personnel of the board
of appraisers. After an extended investi-
CATION this committee recommended the
removal Of the two men named.
The charges against Mr.. Sharretts were
that he had used his official position to
compel personal favors to himself, es-
pecially from the Baltimore and Ohio
Railway, that he had greatly diminished
the usefulness of the board, and that he
had impaired public confidence in 1t
through circumstances surrounding the
practice before 1t of his son. E P. Shar-
retts. lawyer Of New York. Specifically
1t was charged that he had established
a custom of setting precedents for the
favorable decision of cases in which his
son appeared.
The charges against Mr.. Chamberlain
were that he did not have the necessary
qualifica tions for the performance Of
his duties. and that in various ways he
had destroyed his usefulness as a mem
Der of the board and had impaired pub
lie confidence in that body.
Mr.. Chamberlain was given n closed
hearing at mis- request, in New York,
February l. The committee found the
charges sustained and advised the Presi-
dent to remove him.
Mr.. Chamberlain was appointed by
President Roosevelt

SINGS COLLEGE SONGS

President. elect Wilson last night lent
his presence TO the only function he will
attend during the inaugI Iral celebration.
II was a s-roker OF the Princeton alumni
at the New Willard. and at his own re-
quest he shook hands with each OF the
1000 student guests and old grads
present. He knew the majority of them
by name. He had either attended cul-
lege with them or had been their tutor
or 'prexy' afterward. Then he made
a short speech. Just as an ''old grad
would talk to ar ''old grad"
Fellows" he said. II had not expected
to say anything tonight because the
only appropriate thing to say 1 can't
say. because there are no words for IT,
There are some emotions that are very
much deeper than a mans vocabulary
can reach. and have a feeling tonight
that moves nre very much indeed.
We have often spoken of our COM
radeship together as Princeton men. and
have spoken so often that l a~
ashamed to repeat It almost. Of the pa
that Princeton has played in public life
and the part that she ought to play in
public life. and I have spoken 60 often
of that sense Of having a great Invisible
brotherhood that binds man w un-
common standards OF honor and Of serv-
ice.
Now I stand here upon the eve of
attempting a great task-a profoundly
great one-and know that there are
so many men in the United States who
know me and understand me and to
whom I do not have to explain any
thing. Members of the family do not
have to be told what is going to hap
pen. And. therefore, II is not neces-
sary 10 make speech to the family.
I have only 10 say that my feeling to-
night is family feeling. of being
among men trained as I was trained,
looking out upon life as I looh out
upon IT. and ready to give me that
sympathy which buoys up a man more
than anything else in the world.
thank God that It is so. and thank
you profoundly for this evidence Of It."
Meets 1000 Friends.
The President-elect left a family reunion
at the Shoreham to attend the smoker,
which was given in his honor. There
were some 1000 present, and they came
