NEW _YORK, December 19 (®).— Henry Preble, who was the Latin mas- ter of Theodore Roosevelt and J. Pier- pont Morgan when they studied at Harvard, died Monday.

Secretary Hyde succeeded in getting this extra thousand dollars for the | corn-husking championship in an un-| expected manner.

He evidently struck a happy chord. | Soon every one was giving experiences in this sport. But it remained for Lee Philips of Oklahoma, a millionaire oil operator, to give a really personal touch to the discussion by claiming, with | much pride and in a voice which was heard by all and which discouraged any further questioning, that when he was in his twenties he won the Iowa corn- husking championship, which carried GIVE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL ~ TRAINS xOpen at 8:30 A.M.
