OF RIGHT SORT
Wants College Men to Take

Bo»ton, Hut, Fib. 33.—President
Roosevelt'* address this afternoon be
fore the Harrard Union la taken by
many to be a reply to Rapreientatlve
McCall's attack on the centralising pol
icy of the government. The president
defended centralisation, and endeavor
ed to show.that It la made necessary
for the failure of the states to grapple
with certain problems.
It Is understood that his spsecb to
day is ona of many that be will de
liver between now and fall preparatory
to Inaugurating a vigorous railroad and
lornoratlon UgtalaHon policy at the
next session of oongress.
In part the president said:
'It Is Idle to expect, nor Indeed would
It be desirable that there should be. In
Harvard a uniform levs! of taste and
association. Some men will excel In
one thing and some In another; some
In things of the body, some In things of

"Ona taaaon why I ao thoroughly be.

sentially democratic. Our chief Interest
should not 11a in the great champions
In sport On the contrary our concern
should bs'moat of-all-to widen the
osse, the foundation In athletic sports;
to encourage In every way a healthy
rivalry which shall give to the largest
isxslbte number of students the chance
«• take part In .vigorous outdoor games.
I< Is of far more Importance that a
>nan shall play something himself, even
it he plays It badly, than that he shall
■'> with hundreds of companions to see
>nme one else play well; and It Is not
healthy for either students or athletes
if the terms are mutually exclusive.
"But even having this aim cepe-
‘ lolly In view. It teems to me we can
best attain It by giving proper en-
“luragement to the champions In the
■ports. and tbte can only be done by
• nrouraglng Intercollegiate sport. As
l emphatically disbelieve In seeing
Harvard er any other college turn out
mollycoddle* Instead of vigorous men.
I may add that I do not in the least

Rowing, baseball, la crease, track and
b id garnet, hockey, football are all
f them good. Moreover, It I* to my

'bollsh a game because tendencies

appointed to Inquire Into the mental

It Is not believed that Thaw's counsel
will under any circumstances submit to
this plan.
Jsrem* Stirs Up Thaw.
"The remorseless attack on Evelyn
Nssblt Thaw during her cross-exami
nation was for the purpose of torturing
the wife so that her husband, Harry
Thaw, would become so enraged sa to
give way to some violent outburst In
court," said one of Thaw's counsel to
day.
"Jerome knew the excitable nature of
Thaw and believed that when hla wife
was grilled In this fashion It would
make him break out In some wild Im
pulse nr make some enraged statement
that would warrant the prosecution ap-
mlsslon In lunacy to examine Into
Thaw's sanity now.
Attorney’s One Purpose.
"That was the one purpose of Je
rome's fierce attack on young Mrs.
Thaw. The appointment of such a lu
nacy commission Is the single hope at
the prosecution, but any effort on the
part of the district attorney to gain hts
end will be opposed with all the force
with which the defense Is capable.
"We claim that although Insane when
he killed Stanford Whits, b* figs recov
ered bis mental balance completely. His
conduct lo court durlnr the onslaughts
of Jerome upon young Mrs. Thaw fully
bore this out. He had steeled himself
to the ordeal and although' overcome
*
lar circumstances."
Visits Husband Early.
Evelyn Thaw- paid an unusually ear
ly visit to her husband tn the Tombs
today. .She reached tbs prison before
the visitors' hour had begun and was
compelled lo nail In the counsel room.
She went down town unaccompanied
and appeared to be much refreshed
from her rest of yesterday. ■
Garrett, of Seaboard,
Talks About Capital
and Laws.
'There le eo much antagonism to
ward the railroads now that capital
could hardly be expected to become In
terested In the extension of roads or In
the railroad business," said William A.
Garrett, acting president and general
manager of the Seaboard, who arrived
In Atlantal Saturday morning from
Jacksonville, Fla., on one of hla peri
odical vlelti.
The etatement was an evasive an
swer to a question t nncernlng the pro
posed extension of a line by the Macon.
Dublin and Savannah road or tha Sea
board from Atlanta to Macon, which
has been considerably heralded In the
press since the reported acquisition of
the Bouth Georgia by the larger sys
tem. The reported extension would gtve
Atlanta another outlet to the sea and
a short line to Savannah.
Mr. Garret* carefully avoided the
subject of the reported acquisition of
the Macon, Dublin and Savannah and
the ownership of that line Is still doubt
ful. Mr. Garrett Is a director of this
I road, as Is also U Sevier, second vlca
president and traffic manager of the

SHOPLIF TER IN SILK
CAPTURED AT HIGH’S
IlMndnoiiiHy gow nod In expensive
clothes, pretty and having all the In
dications of wealth, a. woman was
caught with the foods In the store or
J. M. High & Co. on Friday Just nfter
making a successful Imul at shoplifting.
Concealed under Iter long cloak,
which was described by female clerks
to be of the nnest material and of the
best make, were found two skirts, a
bolt of lace and h bolt of ribbon. It
was also said a bolt of ribbon from an
other store was found at the same
time.
Although she was*not prosecuted, It
was learned that the woman Jiad
children, and It was said she lived near
College Park. In a home which would
give no Indication of housing what the
police call a "hlster.”
The woman was of striking appear,
ante, and clerks In the store say she
would command attention from the
most unobservlng. Hhe was tall and
slender, with a graceful carriage, and
her handsome clothes and pretty face,
together with her manner of addressing
one. would not have caused suspicion
to fall upon her. . .
It was a boy In the High store who
first had his attention attracted to the
stranger, and this was caused by what,
lie thought, were suspicious actions. Ho
says he noticed that she picked up
goods and handled them, and before
putting them down wuuhl look around
and behind her to see if abe was being
watched.
Boy Walchod Shopper.
In order to confirm these sunldoha.
the boy turned hlk back after he aaw
her pick up some dress goods and gave
her the chance for which she wan wait
ing. A hurried examination showed
the goods were in)*njnj& The boy fol
lowed the stranger outside of the store,
and then she was stopped-
She was caught with the goods.
The woman tearfully told where she
lived, and this tale was Investigated
and Is said to have been found correct.
A search of the house was made. It
was learned that she hud live children,
and this, together with the woman's
tearful pleading, caused the store man
agement not to prosecute.
It was said that the woman had pre
viously been seen In other stores, but
other than the bolt of ribbon no other
swag was found. It was thought at
first that possibly the woman had on
a shoplifter's underskirt—one fitted
with pockets to conceal stolen goods—
but hla was not the case.
The long, expensive cloak, together
with the womnn's slender form, made
this unnecessary. The woman's name
was not made public, but the fact that
she was caught In the store was admit
ted by several salespeople.

If he Is the badly wanted treasurer, then he has tbs ability to b«

Ho first cams to Atlanta at this time and registered at the Hotel
Traywlck, on Marietta street Hs remained there until after January 21,
when a woman arrived and Joined him. He registered her as his wife
and gave her address as Ttnnllle. Oa.
Shortly afterwards he left and during his absence It ta known he
was In Opelika. He returned on February II for hie wits and they left
Atlanta and the Hotel Traywlck together on Wednesday last
Mrs. Traywlck, proprietress of the holel, thinks It Impossible for
Harper to be the right man, although she says he .acted suspiciously
at times and would tall nothing of Ms business. Hhe "»ys he would al
ways glance furtively out of the hotel windows before going out Into
the street and would not tall where he came from originally or where he
was going. . saNDERSVILLB. ' *
' He registered the first time from SanderavlUe, Oa., and said ha bhd
been there In a sanitarium. Hie wifa claimed to be from Tampa. Fla.,
end Mrs. Traywlck says she talked like a-floutbern woman. •
Hsrper was thoroughly acquainted with New York and ths sur
rounding country and talked at length with Mrs Traywlck about planes
In the North but would nover say which city he came from. Neither
would he say where he and hla wife were going when they left last
Wednesday, other titan to anounce that their baggage was to be placed
on board the West Point train. ..... *
Harper had been shaved, but he appeared to be letting his bserd
grows again. Mrs. Traywlck noticed a striking resembianoo to tha pic
tured published, but she ears she may be mistaken. The cleric, however,
is poglUve that Harper looks very much like the badly wanted treaa-
Several attempt* were mad* by those In th* hotel to convene wHk
Harper about hie business, but he would always turn the conversation
and would give no Information whatever. .
Another .feature which would Indicate that Harper did not want peo
ple to know too much about him Was that when he registered, the flrtt
time and th* last time he printed hts name on the register, and tha only
time be did any writing where It could be seen was when he registered
after hts wife's arrival.
