ALBANY. Feb. ga resolution was
introduced in the Assembly tonight re-
auestins Attorney General Carmody to
mike u report to the Assembly on the
expense incurred by the efforts OF the
State authorities to bring Harry X. Thaw
back.
The resolution was introduced by Assem-
blyman Golden. Democrat. of New York
city. II asks that the -report show how

A man said to represent Thaw presented
the resolution to Mr.. Golden for intro
duction and intimated that Mr.. Jerome
has spent 100000 in the pursuit OF Thaw
since his escape from Matteawan.
The resolution says that moneys spent
have been "vanton waste OF the public
money OF this tax ridden State and against
the policy OF retrenchment OF the Governor
az outlined in his messages to the Legis-
lature."
Demand Is made for the Attorney-Gen-
eral TO explain why II is that Mr.. Jerome
was authorized to go into Duchess and
westchester counties to get indictments
against Thaw. while that privilege was
recently refused to District Attorney
whitman of New York.
The State Comptroller reports that Mr..
Jerome has not yet presented any bill

LAFAYETTE WANTS TAFT.



PHILADsLPHrA, Feb. 23.--Ex-President
Taft Is being considered for the presi-
dency Of Lafayette College OF Easton.' Pa.
to succeed the Rev. DIR. Mhelbert u. War
field. according to the Presbytertan, the
UNCONVENTIONAL paper Of the Presbyterian
Church In this city. Al the PresbyterIon's
ofices this statement was made:
Those responsible for this report are
also authority for the statement that
money has been provided to furnish a
salary equal to or possibly in excess OF
that which Mr.. Taft is now receiving
at Yale.
The greatest embarrassment to the
carrying out Of the scheme is the oppo-
sition Of the Synod Of Pennsylvania, which
by the charter Of the college holds veto
power over the election OF all trustees
and members Of the faculty. But It is
probable that the substantial synod OF
Pennsylvania will consent to placing a
full nedged Unitarian at the head OF Its
only Presbyterian college
New HAVEN. Conn. Feb. 23.-Ex-Presi-
dent Taft denied tonight he had received
the offer Of the presidency Of Lafayette
College.
II never heard OF such a proposition
and no such offer has been made to me. y
