B—6 DR.E. A, ALDERMAN, EDUGATOR, IS DEA President of University of Virginia Is Stricken by Apoplexy on .Trqin. By the Associated Presss CHARLOTTESVILLE, Vas, April 30.— Dr. Edwin A. Alderman, president of the University of Virginia for 27 years, died last night on his way to Urbana, Il where he was to take part in the induc- tion of Dr. Harry W. Chase into the presidency of the University of Illinois. |, A few hours after the train left Wash- ington, he was stricken by apoplexy and at Connellsville, Pa., was removed to the State Hospital. He died there a short time Jater. He was 69 years old. THe funeral will be at Charlottesville Satur- g:y with burial in the university ceme- TY. His close association with Woodrow ‘Wilson as personal friend and profes- sionally led Congress in 1924 to invite him to deliver the address at a session honoring the war President. There he defended Wilson’s idealism. “He sought,” sald Dr. Alderman, “to give the twen- tieth century a faith to inspire it and to justify the sacrifice of millions of | lives, and If there was a failure it was bumanity’s failure.” Native of North Carolina. Dr. Alderman was a graduate and later president of the University of North Carolina, the State of his birth. He was chosen president of that univer- sity in 1896, president of Tulane Univrx sity in 1899 and of the Universitys Virginia in 1904. | He is survived by his widow, formerly ! Bessle Green Hearn of New Orleans, | snd a son, Edwin A. Alderman, jr., of New York. In educational circles Dr. Alderman was known as the evangel of a new educational era in the South. A stanch advocate of universal education, he began his work in North Carolina, where he was born May 15, 1861, the son of James and Susan J. Alderman. From 1889 to 1892, with the late Charles Duncan Mclver, he went up and down the State preaching the gospel of universal education and en- deavoring to convince the people that it was right to be taxed to support #chools for another’s education. Much of his labor later became incorporated in the program of the General Educa- tion Board, of which he was a member. That the university owed a service to the State in every line of endeavor was a belief held by Dr. Alderman. He expressed that view in an address upon assuming the presidency of the University of Virginia when he said: “If there be a question touching life on the farm or in the factory, in in- stitutional develcpment, in the public schools, in manufacturing or munici- pal problems, some intelligent answer should issue from the university. ‘Was Neighbor of Wilson. ‘The friendship between Dr. Alder- man and Woodrow Wilson began when their families were neighbors in Wil- mington and developed into the close intimacy that marked their relations while Wilson was president of Prince- ton University. recognition of his educational work a number of universities con- ferred honorary degrees upon Dr. Alderman and he was further honored by membership in many nationally prominent organizations, including the General Educational Board, the Wood- row Wilson Memorial Foundation, Acad- emy of Social Science, Phi Beta Kappa, American Academy of Arts and t- ters and the Board of Governors of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foun- dation. He also was a trustee of the Institute of Economics end an elector of the Hall of Fame. A i DR.

PARIS, April 30—When the little entente meets at Bucharest next Mon- day it will take the first definite step toward a European eccnomic union, Aristide Briand has been informed. A common economic policy for the agricultural states will be drawn up by Rumania, Jugoslavia and Czechoslo- | vakia, and submitted to Hungary, Po- land and Bulgaria for their approvel. | In the main, it is understood, the pro- | posal will be to remove tariffs on imports : from industrial states in return for re- | moval of dutles on agricultural products. | To Meet Move Half Way. | M. Briand is actively trying to meet this move half way by the time his Economic Union Committee meets at | Geneva on May 15. He is carrying on | double duty as a European leader, first | by bringing France into line with his | scheme and second by presenting the: same arguments to England, Holland, Belgium, Italy and cther natjons, | In the first respect he has so far obtained from the council of ministers three increases in the percentage of foreign wheat imports permitted in France. This makes a total increase | from 10 to 25 per cent within the month, based on the argument that| opening French markets for Eastern European wheat will open reciprocal mar- kets for a general letting dqwn of bars on wheat imports, thus relieving the stagnant Eastern European grain mar- ket Greater Credit Possibilities. In order to get speedy action, M Briand has also discussed the possibili- ties of opening greater credits which | would make it possible to relieve the Eastern wheat market rapidly, but the | chief purpose of which is to show at | Geneva the practical resylt of an eco- | nomic union, thereby making the Aus- tro-German treaty appear like a narrow, | natfonalistic move. i It is considered important to bring Hungary and Bulgaria into agreement with other sgricultural countries, mak- ing a new division of Europe along eco- | nomic lines as opposed to the old politi- cal, natfonalistic division.

C, CHINA GOURT PLAN HAS PARIS NERVOUS Fears Extraterritoriality Ab- rogation Will Impair Aliens’ Legal Rights. BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER. By Cable to The Star. PARIS, France, April 30.—With the approach of the date set by the Chinese government for the abrogation of extra- teritoriality, fears are expressed in French government circles that for- eigners in China may suddenly be de- prived of all serious legal protection. France is willing to see extraterritor- | fality annulled in principle but demands the establishment of a transition period during which civil jurisdiction would be accorded immediately to Chinese courts but criminal jurisdiction over foreigners would be exercised by mixed courts and extraterritoriality would be maintained in four centers: Shanghai, Tientsin, Hankow and Canton. 1t is suspected here that the British labor government ir negotiations with Chinese Foreign Minister C. T. Wang has showed willingness to limit extra- territoriality to Shanghai alone and give full criminal jurisdiction also to the Chinese courts except that foreign ad- visers would be allowed to be present at_trials.
