Robert K. Evans will take the form of a letter from Secretary Garrison, admonishing that officer not to discuss controversial subjects in public. At a banquet recently in New York, General Evans was reported as re- ferring to the United States as “The most meddlesome nation.” Although he declared he had been misquoted, General Evans admitted discussion of American diplomacy. * Secretary « Garrison’s letter will close the incident.. General Evans is under: orders ‘to. Mturn to command the second b division on man ‘who employs @& twenty-five thousand dollar - lawyer or a ten thousand dollar physician,” the speaker said, “regards a fifteen hundred dollar college professor as good enough to train his son. Money making, politics, sports and pictures shows are holding the interest of the public., The teacher to the ordi- nary man is a mere bookworm.” He made a plea for increased sal- aries for professors, whom he termed finders of new knowledge, and makers of men, and added: “The higher cost of living and the cost of higher living combined bear more heayily on college professors than any other class. The effective salary of the professor is only about one-half what it was twenty years ago. The university’s income does riot increase automatically, and the larger the number or students the poorer does it become.” | Grace C. Strachan, district super- intendent of schools, Brooklyn, N. Y., spoke on equal salaries. . She con- tended that a salary should be based on the position and not on the sex. “In making up a school budget it us- ually happens that everything else is provided for before any provision is made for increasing teachers’ salar- ies,” sald John W. Carr, superinten- dent of schools, Bayonne, N.iJ. “The result is thgt other school expenses are increased far more rapidly than teachers’ salaries.” He suggested standardization of ex- penses as a possible solution of the question. ¢ Marked progress in the develop- ment of retirement funds for teach- ers has been made by this country, W. 1. Hamilton, of Boston, said in an ad- dress on pensions. “Seven years ago,” he . said, “two states were paying retirement allow- ances to teachers out of state funds. Now twelve have made more or less satisfactory provisions for such pay- ments.” RATE!

Mr. Warburg, a member of the banking house of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., was nominated for a four year term.

Today he called the White House offices by telephone and personally requested the dent to withdraw his nomination, There was no indication whom the president might choose to fill place. New York, July 7.—Paul M. War- burg said today that he did not care to discuss at this time his withdrawal from the federal reserve board. REV. FREDERICK KEESE GETS CALL FROM ABROAD Pastor of German ‘Baptist Church May Leave This City. German Baptists in this city are anxiously awaiting the decision of their pastor, Rev. Frederick Keese, in regard to a call he has received from the congregation of the German Bap- tist church in the state of Queensland, Australia, the largest church of that denomination in the Antipodes. They are hopeful of his remaining here but realize that he will decide in favor of the place where he will be enabled tgif'to do the greatest work. “The foreign field has always had a great fascination for me,” said Rev. Mr. Keese this morning to'a reporter, “and going to Austi would bring me nearer to this wi than I have ever been before/i He ained, however, that would take many things into eration before mal irg his A pertant of which is the health of Mrs. Keese, which has been quite delicate for some time past. He is inclined to the opinion that the Australian cli- ‘mate would be a great benefit to her if she could endure the six weeks’ trip to that country. Rev. Mr. Keese, who has been known in this city as “The German Working Man’s Preacher,” did not state what salary had been offered him, but asserted that the call 1ooked very tempting. The salary matter will not bear much weight with him for, as he says, he will go where the Master directs him, because it is in His service that he is engaged. Excepting from what he has read and heard of the German Baptist church in Queensland, Rev. Mr. Keese carl give but a few facts in regard to it. He has never before communi- cated with any of its members and believes that the congregation learned of him through the denominational paper, ‘‘Messenger,” in which he has written many articles concerning Sun- day school work. Rev. Mr. Keese accepted the local pastorate about four years ago, suc- ceeding Rev. Mr. Becker. He came here from Jersey City, where he was the pastor of the first German Bap- tist church for a number of years. S“WILL THE YOUNG LADIES—" “George, the Chauffeur,” Is Terribly Anxious to Hear From Them. The sweet spirit of romance is breathed in an advertisement printed on another page of the Herald in which “George, the Chauffeur,” who works in “Jack’s lunch, Stratford, Conn,” or perhaps he only eats there— states that he is very, very anxious to communicate with the two New Britain young women whom he and a companion met Fourth of July at Hanover park, Meriden. Judging by the tone of the ad- vertisement George was smitten by the good looks of one of the young ladies, but as all New Britain girls are eligible candidates for ‘the front| row in the “beauty chorus” there is nothing strange about that. It is strongly suspected that George is in love and that his companion who was with the other New Britain miss, is on the verge of that delightful state of mental intoxication. If this should meet the eyes of the girls they will confer a great favor on George and his friend by writing to them, giving their names, addresses and latest photographs. Probably it might be well to telegraph as George—gosh, that's a sweet name, girls—and the other chap may drop dead before a letter reaches them. Now don’t all snswer at once. O AN WEATHER.

I hope he can find the person who murdered Mrs. Bailey, and 1 will give him all the help I possibly can.” The abrupt ending of the cor- oner’s inquest and the announce- ment that the Nassau county grand jury would begin an investigation of the case on ursday next, led to reports today that the testimony ot the most imj nt witnesses was be- f while clues developed at yesterday could be fol. " A disagreement between #Norton and Sheriff Pettit also [nted at, and it was even said the sheriff and district attorney determined to present their case the grand jury, thereby ignoring the coroner’s inquiry. Theory Not Concealed. District Attorney Smith made ne effort today to conceal his theory of the case. He insists that the murder was accomplished by a woman, but so far has kept the object of his sus- The murder, served to prove'in the minds of many who have watched the progress of the case, that the county officials were not satisfied . with the results already obtained and now propoge to draw their clues to a head for presenta- tion to the grand jury. Aside from developing a case based on his own theories the head of the detective agency, it was intimated, was prepared to investigate the storles told by Dr. Carman and W. P. ‘W. Haff that they were shot at by an unknown man. Haff, who resembles Dr. Carman, told the police that he believed the shots fired at him were intended for the dogtor. Dr. Carman yesterday insisted that the man who fired at him was riding a bicycle which he guided with his right hand, using his left to fire the revolver. This follows his theory that a left- handed man fired the shot that Kkilled Mrs. Bailey. Another Clue Discovered. Another clue being followed today has to do with a threat alleged to have been made by a Wwoman that “I'll murder that man if it takes al my life.”” The woman, according the informant, pointed to Dr. Car- man as the object of her anger. Howe Confirms Story. .Philadelphia, July 7.—John Howe of this city, who was reported to have telephoned David Kennedy of Freeport that a woman with whom Howe was cruising had threatened to kill Dr. Carman, was found here to-~ day and confirmed the story told by Dr. Carman to detectives. Howe, who is in business here, saia that in the summer of 1912 he invited a Freeport man and his wife to an outing on Great South Bay, L. I, in his motorboat. Picked Up Knife. “We landed at an island,” said, “and ran across David nedy and Dr. Carman. I knew them both. The moment we spied them the woman in our party screamed and ran back ‘o the boat. Her hvs- band rema:ncd where he was, sor- prised and nonplused by his wife's action. I raun to the bont after hey, I found her on a seat in hysterics.

I caught hold of her and kept her back and asked whom she meaue. ‘Dr. Carman’ she said.” Howe said the woman refused to explain her actions and demanded to be taken home at once. When her husband came aboard the party re- turned to Freeport. “Neither one of them spoke of the incident again,” said Howe. Telephoned to Kennedy.

Siemon of Stamford, charged with running down and killing John DeMartino, also of Stamford, in this city on the night of October 29, 1910, was begun in the city court here this morning before Judge John R. Booth of New Haven, the local judges, Thomas C. Coughlin and Frank L. ‘Wilder, having been disqualified. It was expected that the trial would last for several days.

Immediately after the automobile passed, DeMartino was picked up dead, i The arrest of Siemon on a man- slaughter charge followed Coroner Phelan’s finding as a result of the nquest.
