TAFT PRAISES CLEVELAND
"HE TOOK HIS PLACE AMONG
THE GREATEST"
Monument to Former President at
Princeton Dedication in Pres
ence of Big Audience.

Princeton, N. j., Oct. 23.-Prince-
tons university graduate college and
the Grover Cleveland memorial tow
er, which is included in the architec-
tural scheme of the college buildings,
were dedicate in the presence of an
audience from Europe and America.
Gifts amounting to $2,S50,000 for
the erection and endowment of the
college enabled Princeton to realize
the idea conceived 20 years ago-the
housing of graduate students in a
body. The tower was presented by
the Cleveland Monument association,
which received gifts for the fund
from all over the United States
President Hibben of Princeton pre-
sided at the exercises. About him
were former President William H.
Taft, who delivered the memorial ad-
dress on Grover Cleveland; repre-
sentatives of nearly all the universi-
ties and colleges in the United States
and Canada, hundreds of alumni and
delegates from English, German and
French universities.
Dean Andrew F. West of the gradu-
ate college, to whom most of the
credit has been given for the cree
ton of the college, delivered an ad
dress on The Household of Knowl-
edge"
Former President Taft's estimate
OF Grover Cleveland, as expressed in
his Grafton in part was as follows:
Mr.. Cleveland was not a great
lawyer; he was not a great econo-
mist; he was not a great orator; but
he was a great president and great
man, and he was these because of
the strong mind clear intelligence
and wide knowledge of affairs. He
had the character, honesty, courage
and sense of public duty which en-
abled him to meet great and critical
issues without regard to personal con-
sequences
'Now that the voice of the partisan
critic is still and the people could
see him in due proportion with other
men of history, he took the place he
earned among the men entitled to the
gratitude of their country"

no TARIFF HEARINGS
BY SENATE BODY
Committee on Finance Decides Against
Any Open Discussion Of
Duties,

With the Republicans all present the
Senate Committee on Finance met yes
terday and one of the first things done
was to decide that no hearings on the
tariff bill would be held. 1t had been
announced that certain Senator's would
be permitted to air their views on the
sugar, wool, and citrus fruit schedules,
hut the statement was made that even
they would not be heard orally. Senator
Penrose, on behalf of the minority, pro-
tested, but without avail.
After the committee had agreed to re-
port favorably on several nominations,
the Republicans retired and the Demo-
Gratis resumed their considerable. of the
tariff bill.
The Committee on Banking and Cur
Tency, however, was more generous, and
agreed to begin hearings in two weeks
on proposed currency legislation.
One thing practically was settled yes
terday, and that was that the Republic
cans would make no concerted fight on
the nominations of Mr.. Wilson. The Re-
publican Senators met in caucus again,
and the general feeling was against such
a course, although William j. Harris, of
Georgia, to be director of the census,
will meet with opposition, based on the
fact that the position is not regarded rs
political.
The Ty Cobb controversy with the De-
troit baseball club, as perhaps involving
a violation of the Sherman antitrust
law, was an interesting subject around
the Senate wing of the Capitol, but moth
ing developed because of the failure 81
Senator Hoke Smith to receive certified
copy of Cobb's contract.

FULLER KEEPS HOME;
LEGAL KNOT UNITED
House Is Built on Wrong Lot, but Real
Owner Loses in Fight for
Its Possession.

That point of civil law known as ''ad-
verse possession and over which law
yers for many years have always found
interesting study, was thrashed out thor
oughly yesterday in Circuit Court, No. 2.
when Samuel Mcmillan. former member
Of Congress from the State of New York,
brought action against Thomas ]. D.
Fuller, a Washington architect, for pos
session of the lot at 1911 Ashmead Place
Northwest on which Fuler's home now
stands
Nineteen years ago Fuller bought
piece of property on this street. The
place was surveyed, but by some unac-
countable error Fuller built on the lot
adjoining the one he really had bought.
Mcmillan. then in Congress, also bought
one of the two lots. Each man thought,
il Is said, that his title was perfect. It
was not discovered until year or so ago
that Mcmillan had built. not on the lot
he thought he had bought, but the one
adjoining.
Mcmillan yesterday brought action to
obtain the property now occupied by
Fuller 1t is said at the time the mis-
take was discovered that Fuller offered
to exchange lots. but this Mcmillan re-
fused.
Under that section of the civil code of
the District known as adverse posses
SION the jury hearing the case ruled in
favor of the defendant, Fuller, who re-
tains possession of the lot on which his
home now is located
The code states that a man can be
given adverse possession" of a piece of
property if the PLAINTIFF does, not begin
his action until after the defendant has
maintained the property in question fif-
teen years.

DIPLOMATIC POST
FOR brand WHITLOCK
Mayor Of, Toledo, Ohio, Wants to Go
to Switzerland or BEL
| rum.
OTHERS ARE in THE FIELD

Drank Whitlock, Mayor of Toledo,
Ohio, is a candidate for foreign mission.
His name was formally presented to Sec
rotary Bryan late yesterday afternoon by
Senator Pomerene and other Ohio citi-
zens, with a recommendation that he be
sent either to Belgium or Switzerland,
for which the Mayor has expressed a
preference. Representative Sherwood,
Democrat, of the Toledo district, did not
Join in the recommendation. He ex-
planned that he had given his indorse-
ment to another citizen of Toledo for q
foreign mission before he was aware
that Mr.. Whitlock desired such an APP
pointment.
1t was learned yesterday from a re-
liable official source that President VIII
son and Secretary Bryan have already
under consideration men for both of the
missions for which Mayor Whitlock ex-
pressed a preference. p. A. Stovall, pub
Usher of the Savannah News, is in favor
for tke Swiss mission, and Joseph N.
Teal, of Portland, Greg, who was strong
ly recommended by Western Senators
for Secretary of the Interior, is believed
to be slated for the Belgium mission.
Mr.. Teal was offered the place of AS
sistant Secretary of the Interior and
declined it. The Oregon Senators were
then authorized, it Is said, to ascertain
II Mr.. Teal would accept the mission to
Belgium, and at last reports he had it
under consideration.
Mayor Whitlock probably will receive
diplomatic appointment if he can be
satisfied. When Senator Pomerene pre-
scented his name yesterday to the Sec
rotary of State, he was authorized to
submit at the same time the indorse-
ments of the Mayor by Gov. James M.
Cox of Ohio and Mayor Newton ID.
Baker of Cleveland, who led the night
in OHIO for Gov. wilson before the Bal
timore convention.

.EIGHTY-CENT GAS
BILL INTRODUCED
Representative Cary of Wisconsin
Would Have Congress Regulate
the Price Here.
NO ACTION IS PROBABLE

A bill requiring that the price OF il
Illuminating gas in the District be fixed
by law at 50 cents per 1000 cubic feet
was introduced in the House yesterday
by Representative Cary of Wisconsin.
The maximum price now fixed by the
Washington and Georgetown Gas Light
Companies is 81 per LOCO cubic feet. This
price, however. is subject to a discount
Of 10 per cent on accounts paid before
the tenth day of each month.
The Cary bill, along with a number of
other District measures introduced by
him, was referred to the House District
committee. 1t is not considered likely
that bills seeking to regulate local public
utility corporations will meet immediate
committee action in view of the powers
conferred upon the Public Utilities Com
mission created at the last session.
Representative Cary also introduced a
bill directing that a contract system be
substituted for the present method of
collecting garbage in the District, the
work to be done under the supervision
of the superintendent of the street clean
ing department. A bill fixing the COM
pensation of stationary firemen in public
buildings at s. a day and a number Of
street extension measures also were in
troduced by Mr.. Cary.

FORMALLY QUALIFY
Assistant Secretaries Osborne and Ma
lone Take Oath of Office Un-
der MIR. Bryan.

Assistant Secretary of State Joseph K.
Osborne, Of Wyoming. and Third Assist
ant Secretary of State Dudley Field Ma
lone of New York, yesterday took their
oaths of Office and went on the job at
the State Department. Mr.. Osborne has
been in Washington for several days,
acting as political aid to Secretary of
State Bryan.
When he took the oath of Office his
desk was piled high with applications for
jobs, from friends of Mr.. Bryan. Most of
the officeseekers write they want a job
without specifying what they want. They
expect Mr. Bryan to know what places
are open and what their qualifications
are for filling them.
Having made their requests, the Office
seekers leave the rest to him. Practi-
cally the whole attention of Mr.. Osborne
has been given to these applications. DIR.

State Department, is expected to take
the oath of Office today.

terday directing the Speaker to appoint
a special committee of sever members to
investigate the operations of the So
