"In a" rear and 11 months I expect
to De ,an active memoer , or tne ar-vard-

This was interpreted by soma as
meaning that Roosevelt i had in mind
some active connection with the uni
versity upon his retirement from his
present position. , Dr. Walcott said:
'I would not vote for Roosevelt's se
lection to head the Harvard faculty, be
cause he Is not , what you would call
ah academic man. There is no posst-,
blUty of his becoming the president of'
Harvard while President Elliot remains
alive or cares to hold the position." -
President Elliot Is puxsled by Roose
velt's remarks. When asked by a Bos
ton newspaper to. telegraph his views
on it, he replied:
"I can aee no possible explanation of
the president's remark In ,, connection
with any active association with the
university.
There Is no present plan tn con
nection with ihe business of the uni
versity to which Roosevelt could have
referred, so far as I know."

that the little troubles between defend

the Jury in. . ..
The episode was trifling, but signifi
cant. Then followed one of the sur
prises of the case. Alfred Eoff, the
last Juror to be called on Friday, was
examined by Borah and passed.
He la a wealthy man and a retired
banker. It was taken for granted that
Eoff would admit so much bias that the
defense would be able to disqualify him
easily. Richardson undertook his ex
amination. . He challenged him for Im
plied bias and the court denied the chal
lenge. "He chaienged him for direct
bias and the court denied that challenge
aa well. And It was Richardson's turn
to feel Borah's uppercut Richardson
asked Alfred Eoff a auestlon that was
vague in ita terms . about his f eellnara
concerning the Weatern Federation.
I object," aald Borah, atandlng up
and smiling at. Richardson. Richard-

"Tha . court upholds the : objection,"
aald Judge. Wood. , "Tou muat put your
qaeetlone more apecifJcally, Mr. Rich

, Richardson examined again aod re
newed his challenge for direct bias, and
again the court denied the challenge.
Haywood conferred with' Richardson
suggesting question after question. Al
fred Eoff answered, them aU quite frank
ly, and I. the end Richardson had to
admit defeat. Alfred Eoff, ex-banker,
qualified a Juror, ,V ' -x
Than the defenae need Its last peremp
