Taft has been turn ed down by Attorney-General Mc Tteynoids for membership on . the Board of Trustees of the Boston & Maine road on the.. grounds ; that, as president he had sanctioned the action of Attorney-General ; Wickersham in reversing the decision made under the Roosevelt administration that the merger, of the New Haven and the Boston & Maine was illegal. While the settlement of the deed of trust between the Department of Justice and the New Haven officials Is still "in the air," it is apparent that there, has been at .least. an agreement of both parties that former Chief Justice Marcus Knowlton, of ' Massa chusetts, will be the chairman of the board of trustees. Mr. Knowlton is the choice of Governor Wal3h. . Asked what he thought of 'the sug gestion made by Senator Gallinger recommending ex-President Taft for chairmanship of the board of trus tees. Governor Walsh made it evident that he did not favor it, stating that lie believed the" 'members . selected should be from northern New England.- His statement was as follows: "I have the highest (personal re gard for ex-President Taft, but I still feel that the-selection of the trustees should be made from northern New Eag-lan4.

BUECHLER THE BEUABIiE JEWELER 48 FAIRFIELD AVE., Near Middle St. Vassar's fair daughters will, celebrate to-day-the centenary of the birth of John H.. Raymond, first president of the pioneer institution for the 'higher education of women. ' Under -President Raymond's able direction, Vassar col lege was an immediate success, and its subsequent growth has been rapid and permanent. ' - Women all over the world how look tor the Poughkeepsie insti tution as their alma mater, and the example of Vassar. has served as an. In spiration to many similar and younger colleges for girls. "' ' - Next year will mark the semi-centenary of the opening of Vassar College, which was so named in honor of a brewer, Matthew Vassar, who. provided the endowment. Born In Norfolk, England, in 1792, Matthew: Vassar came to America as a child. His father settled in Poughkeepsie, where he establish ed a brewery, a business which was continued by Matthew. In those days Vassar ale was as popular , as a Vassar education is now, and the brewer waxing-wealthy, determined to apply a portion of his fortune to the eifteow ment of a school for the higher education of the fair sex. In IS 61 he donat ed $400,000 to the Institution which" became known as .Vassar College, and which was formally opened four yeaxs later under the presidency of Dr. John H. Raymond. Matthew. Vassar contributed several other large sums to the college before he died in 1868. v .-'-. .
