PRAISES SPORTS OF RIGHT SORT Wants College Men to Take Interest in Affairs of Government. 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 the mind; and where thousands are gathered together each will naturally Und sores group of specially congenial friends with whore bs will form Has social Intimacy.

"Ona taaaon why I ao thoroughly be. neve In the athletic spirit at Harvard f> because the athletic spirit le es 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 •bject to a sport because It Is rough. Rowing, baseball, la crease, track and b id garnet, hockey, football are all f them good. Moreover, It I* to my 1 'ind simple nonsense, a mere con tusion of weakness, to desire to 'bollsh a game because tendencies -now themselves, or practices grow up.

'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 Seaboard.

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.
