President of Mount Holyoke Col
lege Tells Why Course Has
Been Done Away With.

President Mary A. Woolley, OF Mount
Holyoke College, told the New York
Alumne yesterday just why the time
honored custom of domestic service for
all students had been done away with.
She spoke at the annual luncheon OF the
association at the Hotel Martinique.
There were many considerations which
caused US TO make the change" she said
"One was the difficulty OF administration,
since there are now eight hundred girls
to assign TO daily tasks. Also the domes-
tic work interfered with the studies OF
some. II was not scientific management
to have many people doing the work
which could be done more easily by a few.
Then the division OF labor among all
made it difficult TO find work for those
who did need financial help. We found
that girls could so through Smith or
Wellesley on smaller expenditure of
money than through Mount Holyoke, be-
cause of the greater opportunities for re-
munerative work.

fiuences which are said 20 come from do
nestle service We feel sure that they can
flourish without it. Consideration for the
feelings OF others does not depend on
dishwashng."

|'KIDNAP" HAGGIN
TO ENTERTAIN HIM
Captains Friends Start Mystery,
and Searching Parties Are
Beating the Bushes.
IBy telegraph TO The Tribune.

Greenwich, Conn, May s.-Is the joke
on Captain James Ben Ali Haggin, the
artist, grandson of James B. Haggin: on
the friends who are searching for him,
in the belief that he has disappeared. or
on those other friends who kidnapped
him yesterday and are holding him until
some one ransoms him from the round
OF entertainment they have mapped out
for him?
DIR. w. Herbert Wiley, proprietor of the
Blythewood Sanatorium here. where Mr..
Haggin has been staying for several
months, is sure the joke isn't on him. He
has contract with the artist by which he
agrees TO provide accommodations. MIR.
Haggin agrees to pay for them. There is
nothing in the contract about his occu-
plying them.
The artist went to New York yester-
day to drill with his regiment, the 18th,
and fell into the clutches of some of his
fellow officers. who thought it would be a
fine scheme TO make away with him and
start a mystery. They started ii all
right. To-day searching parties are &C
tive. They haven't chance OF finding
their man, his ''captors" having con-
cealed him 80 well.

THORNTON'S TOLLS

Senator Decides for Repeal
Says Presidents Address Is
Cause of Action.
TFrom The Tribune Bureau. !

Washington, May Ex-senator Thornton,
of Louisiana. one of the venerable figures
OF the Senate, told his colleagues to-day
that he had changed his mind on the
question OF canal tolls and would vote for
the repeal bill.
In the frankest speech thus far de-
livered on the subject the Senator said
he was convinced that he had been wrong
in casting his vote for the exemption OF
American coastwise vessels, and that he
had ample Justification for changing his
mind in a letter from the President stat
ing that the success OF the foreign policy
of the administration depended largely
upon the repeal bill.
az am now convinced" said Mr.. Thorn
ton, that we have no moral right 70

from tolls through the canal I would
vote for repeal on that ground alone But
] wish TO reterate my previous statement
that | could find ample justification for
repeal on the ground set forth by the
President in his address on this subject
TO Congress.
The recent letters of Henry White and
Joseph II. Choate declare without qualiti-
cation that all parties to the negotiation
of the Hay-Pduncefote treaty understood
and intended that the term all nations
should include the United States.
THE imposition or non-imposition OF
tolls on American coastwise shipping can
have no effect on the movement Of vessels
