F FIRE IN DISTRICT HOTEL BEGINNING OF ROMANCE m BE WHICH ENDS IN ARREST BALTIMORE, June 10.—A ro- mance which began when Hyman Hasphell of New York rescued Elizabeth Griffin from a hotel fire in Washington last March, had its sequel before Judge Rose in tne nited States Court yesterday, when the New Yorker was sen- tenced to six months in jail for white slavery. Upon advice of counsel a plea of guilty was entered after the accused ‘man was brought under Clerical and Mechanical Em- .. ployes Will Lose Jobs 3 June 30.

The return trip was without incident. *PRESIDENT AT TRENTON. Declares Capital and Labor Both Reluctant to Readjust. By the Associated Press. TRENTON, N. J, June 10.—Busi- ness is improving and wages, through readjustment, are never go- ing down to pre-war levels, Presi- dent Harding told an audience in Trenton from a train platform last night. The crowd shouted “atta boy" to_his expression. His speech was made en route to Washington after two days in New Jersey, and he told his station visitors that he had visited spots where history was made In forming the republic, and where education was training the youth of a new generation. But at_the industrial center - of Trenton, he said, he was impressed with the even greater significance of work and all it implies. e would be no advantage, he in- ed, if founders of states and trainers of youth did not have their efforts made effective by people in work-a-day life “Evervything has been thrown out of joint,” he said. W we are try- ing to get back to normal. 1 believe that we are meeting a measurable degree of success in the effort. 1 am very glad to say to you that your government is interested in the good fortunes of busin interested be- cause if there is no business there is no good fortune. N Lusiness good fortune depends upon the main- tenance of fundamental principles in business activities. It depends upon the people engaged in business, not the capitalists alone, but the man who gives his brawn for a daily wage. “During the war capital got used to unusual profits and labor became ac- quainted with unusual wages, which both have been reluctant to relin- quish. There must be a readjustment, but it must be fair readjustment. We must say to capital that wages must not go back, and ought not to go back entirely to pre-war level.” There was a cheer and a woman yelled, “Atta boy, Harding.” “The world war would, indeed, have been a failure and the sacrifices made in_our behalf would have been in vain,” the President continued, “if we should go back. Yet you canuot have employment without reasonable profit for capital. The government is trying to keep its hands out and re- duce taxes and burdens upon you. It is all up to you. for there is not a great deal the government can qo. It' up to each one of us to resolve thi we are going back to work, we going to resume production’ to the United States to a foremost place in the life of the world.” PRESIDENT PAYS TRIBUTE. Lauds Part of Princeton in Main- taining American Liberty. By the Associated Press. PRINCETON, N. J., June 10.—Pres!- dent Harding was hailed as a man of “quiet courage” and “immense patience and self-effacing modesty” in his policies toward current and controversial po- litical issues, by Dean West, who used them in mention of the President's stand against the his votes for anti-strike laws as senator, as he recited the reasons which induced Princeton University to give the President an honorary de- gree of doctor of laws yesterday. The stimulus of an intent audience caused President Harding to break away from prepared manuscript in speech-making. Before the Princeton student body, stirred evidently by the high praise of the citation of himself, he almost disregarded prepirations to lay down some standards of valuation of men. “I care not what position a man may momentarily be in” he exclaimed, “you can measure his standard of usefulness to America by the service' he renders the community in which he resides. ‘Doctor"—the President turned to Dean West and President Hibben of Princeton—"I thank you for your earnest wishes. I care not who one is, if he can only expend his power in righteousness, he shall not have lived in vain. We can only ask God to let us make our way in righteousness, and if, in that making, we can make our way religlous, we'll be a little bit better for that.” Praise for Princeton’s part in the world_war and in all previous wars of the United States, as well as for her achfevements through her sons in the paths_of peace, was voiced by Presi- dent Harding. Mr. Harding spoke, In part, as fol- lows: “The memories of war and of Prince- ton's glorious part in the achieve- ment and maintenance of American libertles have ever been closely In- tertwined with the traditions of her splendid gifts to American scholar- ship, learning and Intellectualism. Inspiration in Honor. “One who possesses even a general familiarity with the contributions of Princeton to the establishment, the fortfication and the sturdy upholding of our national institutions, must surely be pardoned a full measure of pride in being chosen to receive the distinction you today are conferring on me. Standing here. before the background of those noble traditions and eminent accomplishments in which beats the heart and lives the soul of the university. one cannot but feel that to have deserved this one ought to have served well Indeed. If there be misgiving as to the merit of service in the past, surely this dis- tinction must inspire its recinient to redoubled effort to prove worthy of it. “For me, the real picture of Prince- ton of those revolutlonary days is the one that conjures {tself around the figure of old John Witherspoon, stout Scotch Presbyterian divine, scholar, teacher, author, preacher, president of Princeton, rebel by nature, patriot by choice, member of the Continental Congress, counselor to the fathers of state, signer of the Declaration and unrelenting fighter in the cause of independence. Under such leadership, small wonder that Princeton played a great and gallant part, producing young men who were equally re- scurceful and uncompromising in fleld or forum; or that the advanced place which they claimed for Prince- ton in patriotic service has been re- tained through all the generations since. Omoe College of New Jersey. “The name of Princeton University s, I well know, rich in assoclation and fine tradition to all its sons. Yet I may confess that I have always 1iked to think of it also by its earlier title of College of New Jersey, first of that long list of the state colleges and universities which have given so much of special character and qusality to colleglate institutions In this coun- try. It one may think of New Jersey as the central battleground of our revolutior, the Belgium of our strug- gle for independence, 80 also may one r ture the Princeton of that time he Louvain among the rising univer- sities of the colonial epoch. “Wise men have always been wont to {llumine the uncertain paths of the future with the beacons of experi- ence shining from out the past.

Patriotism Fonstered in Colleges. “I remember reading somewhere in the letters of a distinguished British public man who was in touch with American sentiment during the revo- lution a delightfully nplaint that the Insurgency might have been suppressed readily enough by rigor- ous measures, but for the malevolent influence of the ardent young whigs who made up almost tha entiro stu- dent bodles of the collees. “The colleges of that early time were already headquarters and -dis- ponsaries of patriotic enthus and they have remained such. They have sent out their sons by the thou- sands. to perform tho most responsi- ble and arduous service in all the wars of the republic; and uniformly it has been marked by a zeal which carrled inspiration to the whole com- munity. Yet more important, per- haps, has been their part In the di- rection of civic interests and activ- ities: in the constructive tasks of the state; in bullding the commerce and industry; developing the culture and framing the public institutions of our country. So, on such an occasien. as this I can think of no more appropri- ate message to be addressed to the Princeton community than an expres- sion of the earnest hope that it may live up to Its opportunities and. obli- gations in the future as patriotically as it has done In the past.”” ‘President Hibben told the audlence at Nassau Hall, where the degree was granted. that the bullding itselt was the barracks from which Washing- fon's continentals drove British reg- ulars in the Princeton battle. Dean ‘West, however, was up to the moment in current politics in hailfng the President. “His vote as a senator for the anti- strike clause of the railroad bill,” the, dean said, reciting the reasons for the honorary degree, “and his at- titude as President on the bonus re- veal his quiet courage, and the great work of the conference for limiting armaments, assembled at his call, has won the gratitude of the world.” Dines With Dr. Hibben. The President dined with Dr. Hib- ben, after & reception tendered stu- dents and visitors. He left for Wash- ington shortly after. Speaker Gillett of the House, and Senators Edge and Frelinghuysen, besides Mrs. Harding, accompanied him all through the trip. Princeton_students march out to cheer the President just before his train left and they got a little speech. “If one needed any compensation for & rather arduous day,” the Presi- dent sald, “he would find it in your song and your cheers. When you get: to be mature, some times you may find yourselves jaded, when things seem to be not going as tha{ ought. Then to be refreshed, get out among college youths. Whenever I gaze upon the faces of college men, I find myself reassured. There is no pic- ture to be compared with that which you get from college youths in op- timism for the future. {HONOR CENTRAL ALUMNUS | BONUS BILL DELAYED | Wisconsin University ¥. M. C.

They stole eight fur coats valued at §1.750. Theft of ad- at 1 property was prevented by the timely appearance of Policeman C.

Two of the alleged burglars, giving their i0s as Frank Whalen and Harry Wilson, werd caught in the place and the police seized two load- ed pistols, burglar tools and a cam- bric bag, in which the burglars prob- ¢ were going to take away prop- It was not until this morning that members of the firm were able to definitely tell of the loss of the eight coats, which were found in Rock Creek Park by Park Policeman Con- noly. The garments were in a black bag similar to the ones found in the fur company's place of business. They were identified as having been taken from the stock of the com- pany. Policeman Zepp saw the two men cross the roof of an adjoining bufld- ing and enter through the skylight on the fourth floor of the Zirkin es- tablishment. He hurried to a nearby patrol box and summoned Detective Lowery and Policemen Brown and Scoville from the first precinct. The building wag surrounded and the men captured. Detectives Lynn and Cox, who later participated in the investigation, sug- gosted that the men under arrest probably had made one haul and car- ried the loot to Rock Creek Park in an _automobile.
