ST. LOtTS, June 20—A capsule con

was Judge Augustus Reese, of Mor

made to issue r.ew cards of admission

receive them. When the committee on

that the first firures were an error in

not. had been counted, while in the ease
of other States, on!} time,, present were

The report was sent back to the com

NEW YORK. June 20.—Thaw is
busier these days preparing for his
second trial than he was ^before his
first ordeal. He learned much during
the trial which he thinks will be cf
vast benefit to -aim when another Jury
hears the evidence against him. He
thought lie would be acquitted on the
first trial, but he is now confident that
the second jury will set him free. *
A great change has taken place in
Thaw. He Is spending his second
fund allowed *2.30 r>er child in the
country. The expenditures. per capita
on the children, in -the city and
town sehool is $1,2,7-?-.; 1 The average
number of days taught in the rura’
schools was 103. as against eight and
a half months in the cities.
“The statistics .H'iow- that five-sixths
of the children of.-the State are not
enjoying equal onnortunlties with the
remaining one-sixth.hwho live within
the limits of the towns and cities. This
is neither fair to the . children living
of usefulness and the need of a spe-
I cial school of high standing, who'f-
sole c-are shall be the development
| and promotion of the science of agri
culture in. which more than one and
three-fourths millions of our people
arc directly interested.
"This college may not send back to
the farm, farm laborers. I trust It
will not. But it will send back to our
communities trained and educated
agriculturists. It will give us spe
cially fitted and qualified young men
as teachers in our agricultural schools
and leaders 'of thought and examples
of immeasurable influence over the
community.
"Our people are ready for a-forward
movement toward higher ideals and
a grander destiny. The croaker who
halts at the exnense of education
should be made to stand aside!. He
must bb taught that the education of
his children is not only an invest
ment. but a security for every Invest
ment that he already has.. That an
educated mind and an upright char
acter are not only more valuable
than all the gold and silver he can
hoard, but that they are the only
security he can have for the enjoy
ment of that which he has accumu
lated.
"We hear much of the problems of
the day. of combinations of corporate
capita; and their restraint, of rail
roads end their regulation, of the ne
gro and his disfranchisement, of labor
and immigration, but transcending all
of these in igror'nn.ce and vital con
cern. I place before you today the
question of the hour, the problem of
education.'
“The question of the Man of Gali
lee is pertinent today. ‘For what
shall it profit a man If he gain the
whole world and lose his own soul,
or ivhat shall a man give in exchange
for his soul."

more or less last summer, and even
during the winter. Now he has grown
accustomed to his surroundings and
the routine of the prisonl though that

It is his firm conviction that he will gs

Every day Thaw plugs away at the
evidence to be presented in his be
half. Hp has a copy of all the testi

he has been dissecting-carefully. It is
said he thinks he has found many weak
spots In the case presented'by District
Attorney Jerome which can be suc
cessfully combatted and overcome
when another opportunity Is presented.
At the same time Thaw is said to have
found a way of strengthening his' own
case materially.
Throughout ail the time that has
elapsed since the trial'ended. Thaw has
had a constant friend and comforter in
his wife. Evelyn Nenbit Thaw. She has
not missed a day in calling on him. no

glaring weakness of-jour State educa

distri ts of the State.
"T believp the cry.'ng need of our
system is the immediate establishment
and the liberal snpro't of more, better-

ON SCORE SAFETY APPLIANCES
PRINCETON. N. J.. June 20.—
Former President Grover Cleveland,
who was taken ill several advs ago
with an attack ef acute indigestion
was much improved today and hi
physicians do not anticipate,
further trouble from the attack. Mrs
Cleveland informed the Associated
Press today that his complaint is an
old one. and that Dr. J. D. Bryant, of
New York the family physician, and
Dr. J. M. Carnochan. of Princeton, an
always called in when the complaint
becomes acute. She said his condition
was at no time considered dangerou,
and that he is now practically over the
attack. Mrs. Cleveland was not abl
to say when Mr. Cleveland will be able
to leave for their summer home
New England. It is denied that an
[ operation was performed.
A statement was issued from the
home of former Pi-esident Cleveland to
night as follows:
“Mr. Cleveland Is suffering from
acute indigestion. The report that an
oneration has been performed upon
him today for the removal of a malig
nant growth is absolutely untrue. N
op?ration was contemplated. Mr. Cleve
land is in no danger nnd will be around
again In a few days.”
Mrs. Cleveland is authority for the
foregoing statement.
Dr. Bryant has returned to New
York. Dr. Carnochan, the local phy
5'cian, says that there is no cause for
alarm; that Mr. Cleveland is doin
nicely and will be around in a few
days.'
Mr. Cleveland will be unable to at

WILL BILL TAFT
REFUSE TO RUN
WASHINGTON. June 20.—Rumors
are afloat here teat Secretary Taft is
likely to withdraw from the Presiden
tial race on his return to Washington.
His health is one of the reasons as
cribed. It being doubtful whether he
can stand the combined strain of mak
ing a fight for the Pres'dc-ncy, running
the Philippine-:, supervising the Pan
ama canal management, heading the
War Department and acting ns genera!
adviser to the Administration in all
sorts of matters.
The secretary’s breakdown at Fort
Sneiling is cited as showing that Mr.
Taft is already overworked. Besides,
he has never entered heartily into the
Presidential race, and would far pre
fer the Supreme Court. It is under
stood there will be important confer
ences between Mr. Taft and some oft.
his close advisers when he returns
June 22, and it will be discussed
whether it is worth while to stay in
til-- fie'd.
While the withdrawal rumors lack
confirmation, it is known that Mr.
Taft's lieutenants here are not encour
aged over the outlook and feel no great
progress is being made.
