Mr.. TAFT WOULD NOT
BE College PRESIDENT

Former President William H. Taft, in
letter to Dr. George W. Marshall of
Milford, president pro TEN of the State
Senate, has declined a tentative offer to
become president of Delaware College,
at Newark, at a salary of S., 600 a near.
Dr. Marshall is a trustee of Delaware
College, and a close personal and pOliti-
cal friend of the former chief executive.
A fortnight ago, following a meeting
at Wilmington Of the Public Archives
Commission, DR.. Marshall and Judge
Henry c. Conrad talked informally on
the matter of a new president for Della
ware College. and the name of the for
mer President came up, and it was agreed
that DR.. Marshall should write him, ask
ing if he would entertain a call to the
presidency Of the Delaware institution.
Former President Taft's reply reads:
Ny Dear Doctor Marshall -
] have your letter Of March 3. | am
quite content with my position in New
Haven, and | could not accept the presi-
dency Of any university or college for
two reasons-irst, because ! am not tit-
ted for it, and, second, because / have
other work in which believe | can do
more good. | thank you, however, for
taking the trouble to write me in regard
to the matter.
When it became known that the prop
osition had been tentatively offered the
former President it was declared that
if there should be a prospect Of obtain
ing him the salary could easily be made
SO. 600 a year. AS this is the only col
lege in Delaware, the larry undoubtedly
would be guaranteed by moneyed men
of the state were the former President
to become its head. Former Governor
Preston Lea is chairman Of the trustees.

POISONING DOGS.

Dog prisoners have been busy during
the past two weeks in North Milford,
and several dogs have been poisoned.
The guilty persons are giving the ami
mails ground glass which causes much
suffering before death results. This week
two valuable dogs have been poisoned,
and those who have dogs are warned to
watch them carefully. The practice Of
poisoning dogs is a mean sneaking way
of getting rid of them, and should the
guilty party be learned he should be
to the full limit Of the law.
