TAFT & SON, LAWYERS, TD BE ABANDONED FOR YALE PROFESSORSHIP inscnaind President Feels That Practice Would Be Full of Embar- fassment for Him. WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—President ‘Tett haw about decided to accept the offer of the Kent professorship of Yale University. The position carries @ eal- ary of %,000 a year, Means that the matured plane of te President to return to Cincinnat! and take up the practice of law will be abandoned, after he hed arranged to @Bter o partnership with his son Robert, ‘Whe will be graduated from the Har yard Law School in June. Charles P. Taft, the Premident’s brother, had made @xrangement for offices, ‘While he made theee arrangements | f@ return to the practice of law, th President all along felt that in do! @ be would lay himself open to be! @@barrassed. This embarrassment, it was thought, would come upon the| President's taking any case in a court | presided over by @ Judge appointed by the President. While the friends of Mr, Taft aia not Delieve that between the President and the Judges themeeives the fact that the President had made the appointments would make any difference, the oppo- sition in such cases might raise the Question and repeat the chargo which was made by an attorney who opposed z-President Harrfon, ‘This attorney said during the argu- ment of a will case in which ex-Presi- Gent Harrison was one of the counsel, that the jury was going to be influ enced by the fact that Mr, Harrison ‘Was an ex-Presiient. President Taft, after hie return from Penama, will go to New Haven to at- tend @ meeting of the Yale Corpora- tion, of ‘which he {s a member. At that time he will announce his accept. ance or declination of the offer of the Kent professorship. —_————_— TO BE ANOTHER VENUS SHE GAVE UP HER LIFE.
