PULLAR & NIVEN SOLUMBIA OUSTS WO PROFESSORS Spread Doctrine Tending to En- conrage Disloyalty, Is Claim New York, Oct. - 2,—Two members of Columbia University faculty—Pro- fessor James McKeen Cattell of the department of pyschology and Assist- ant Professor Henry Wadsworth Longtellow Dana of tne department of English and comparative literature— were ousted from the university at a meeting of the trustees yesterday af- ternoon upon charges that they had disseminated doctfines tending to en- courage a spirit of disloyalty to the government of the TUnited States. Professor Dana declined last night to make any comment. Professor Cat- tell had gone to his home in Garrison, N. Y., and could.not be reached. The specific instances upon which the allegation against Professor Cat- tell was based were contained in letters written by him last August to members of congress urging them to vote against sending drafted soldiers to Europe. A sentence in each letter stated that the president of the United States and the congress now in . session had not been elected to “send conscripts to Europe.” Charges against Professor Dana contained statements regarding his activities in connection with the People’s Council, to which he be- longed. It was pointed out that he had been warned by President Nicho- las Murray Butler of Columbia against forming an organization of that character, which was engaged in weakening the action of the American ®overnment in. its prosecution of the * war against Germany. PRESIDENT’S ADVISOR. Col. E. M. House Is Securing Data in Europe For America. Paris, Oct. 2.—The Temps regarding the mission given Col. . M .House in . gathering historical data on the en- trance of the United States into the war says: *“President Wilson thinks it is im- possible to govern without foreseelng and that one cannot foresee without studying. While the United States is still engaged in building its powerful war machine its president creates an instrument that will serve later to prepare for peace. This department of study is confided to Col. House, a sagacious man who keeps himself out- side of politics. “Thus the knowledge of all the spe- ciallists may be centraliged and elab- orated in accord with the national in- terest and placed in the hands of the government. Happy organizers are they who build the future.” GALLANT RESCUES. Secretary Daniels Commends Seaman For Their Herolsm.

Senate ‘Washington, Oct., 2.—Animated by the flood of telegrams and letters that have poured into the Capitol for the last week, the senate committee on privileges and elections today decided to meet Wednesday to consider the widespread demands for the expulsion of Senator La Follette of Wisconsin, Senator Gronna of North Dakota, and Senator Stone of Missouri on grounds of disloyalty. : Members of the committee declined to discuss the accusations made or to predict what action the committtee would take. The -committee intends to take up all of the resolutions and petitions on the subject submitted to the Senate and decide whether suf- ficient bas lies to make a report to the Senator advising a vote on expul- sion. From the trend of sentiment as ex- pressed in the labby the senate today appeared averse to any more at the present time looking to the impeach- ment of the three senators. Talk In the lobby had it that if the committee failed to report to the senate ome of the senators might introduce & resolu- tion upon which a test vote might count. The decision of the committee to consider the protests against the three senators came after Senator Wads- worth of New York and Vice President Marshall had read into the record without comment a dozen telegrams and letters, most of them urging that the accused senators be expelled for alleged treasonable utterances. Included were printed circular peti- Gregor dove intd the bay at Newport, R. I., at night to rescue an apprentice seaman, tions, indicating that many such are being circulated and probably will reach the senate in great numbers. In reply to one correspondent, Vice Pre dent Marshall pointd out that, while the senate may expel a member, the initiative must come from a senator or organization. Senator Wadsworth offered letters and telegrams from U. S. Grant Post, No. 327, G. A. R, of Brooklyn; Sid- ney Post G. A. R., of Ithaca, N. Y.; the Rotary club of Ithaca, citizens of Trumansburg, and a number of in- dividuals. Vice President Marshall of- fered letters from W. E. D. Stokes of New oYrk, the Kewanis club, a busi- New York, the Wekanis club, and the ‘Wisconsin Boys’ Welfare association. I. W. W. ARE IN SERVICE Search of Various Catonments Being Made By Federal Agents For Them. 2.—Search for alleged Industrial Workers of the World named in indictments returned here last Friday was made today in various army cantonments, where, it is learned a number of the men' sought enlist- ment in the service. ‘A check of the stered men is now being made by federal authorities who assert it will only be a matter of a short time until all of the 166 indicted men are under arrest. Officials here attach significance to the presence of several of the indicted men in the cantonments, all of whom are said to have gone into service without claiming exemption. One of Chicago, Oct. the charges made in the indictment is “the discovery of certaln efforts of the I. W. W. to create among the reg- istered men a feeling of disloyalty and insubordination.” Some of the evidence used by the federal grand jury in obtaining true bills given out by the federal authorie tles shows that it was contained prin- cipally in letters and pamphlets, thou- sands of which were distributed over the country. and cannot be forced by an individual' i 1 PULLED A STRING 15 MILES AWAY And Yet, TlEMotiou Sent Men and Horses to Death 2 Manchester, England, Oct., 2. “There is no romance left in war; it is a dirty business, and every one of us who is in it is determined that when we finish this war, it shall be so thoroughly finished that nobody will ever start another.” Thus vwrites , a British transport captain in a letter to his local news- paper, describing-how he had just lost twenty of his men, although they were nearly, a dozen miles behind the front, through a shell from a German long- range naval gun fifteen miles away. The shell was a chance shot. Here is the captain’s story. “We have descended on a war of stink-pots, of spectacled chemists leering horribly in obscure laboritories while they concoct the tortures of the damned, of medieval poisons, of fly- ing death from the clouds. It is less like war than some elemental devil- ishness which man is as powerless to control as he was the volcanoes which overwhelmed Pompeii or St. Pierre. It is not alone in the forefront of the battle where men stand face to face, but in quiet places far back, where death flings himself with outrageous violence and suddenness. The dead men have never seen their foe; there has been no contest; no combat, “] witnessed an incident today the Jike of which I have seen before, the like of which is happening every day along these hundreds of miles of battle line. It is as well yoy should hear of it who have a quiet roof over vour heads, who wait placidly under vour umbrellas at the street corner for your tram car. “I was at 8 cross roads, and a vast | amount of traffic was moving by it, guns and wagons and panting motor lorries and officers on horseback and ambulances. Far in front hung mo- tionless in the air the long row of balloons that marked the circle of the front. “It endured perhaps but two sec- onds before it precipitated that fright- ful tragedy towards which it was moving, but every second was an age. Every man who heard it held his breath. “Now the whistle changed into a sudden plunging roar. A quarter of a ton was falling head- long through space and yet invisible. A rocking crash, and up from the road leaped a volcano of black earth and smoke and stones. The whale air filled itself with shrieking bits of metal, whirling swatches of dust, and choking fumes. Horses were plung- ing, men cursing. Above all Tang the screams of mortal agony. “I gazed with horror towards the spot and saw a wagon lying with its wheels up in the witch, its horses ly- ing motignless nearby. In the grass” by the roadside lay some inest figures of men whose absolute motionless told its own tale. “One thought of the homes sud- denly emptied far away, of mothers and wives and children that would wait in vain. And it has all been done by the unseen hand that had just pul- led a string fifteen miles away. STOPS THE COAL. Administrator Garfeld Says No More Can Be Shipped to Canada. | Washington, Oct. 1.—To save the | coal situation in the Northwest, Fuel Administrator Garfeld issued an order last night stopping for the time be- ing the shipment of coal into Canada from the lake ports. The purpose of the order is to direct this coal to the | Northwest, where there is great and immediate need of it. About 180.000 tons of coal are shipped from lake ports daily, of which only about 53,- 000 tons have been reaching the Northwest. A total of 150,000 tons a day must be shipped until the close of navigation to meet the needs of this region.

New York, Oct. 2.—Elizabeth Gur- ley Flynn, Carlo Tresca, Arture Giov vanitti, and Giovanitti Baldazzi, the I. ‘W. W. agitators arrested here Saturday night, were arraigned before Com- missioner Hitchcock yesterday morn- ing and held in $10,000 bail each pending the arrival of a copy of the blanket indictment whioch a Federal grand jury in Chicago returned against I. W. W. agitators in all ports of the United States. Late yesterday after- noon Miss Sarah Bard Field of 118 Waverly Place went to the Federal building and gave $10,000 cash bail for Giovanitti. ' The prisoners. who had spent two nights and a day in the Tombs, were taken to the Federal building at 10 a’clock yesterday morning. The men were handcuffed together, but Miss Flynn was unshackled. Three lawyers announced that they had been re- tained to look after the interests. of Miss Flynn and the three Italiana. About twenty lesser lights of the I W. W., including women, were in the Federal building.\ Assistant District Attorney Harold A. Content represented the govern- ment. Captain William M. Offley, Chief of the Department of Justice Bureau of Investigation, was the com- plaining witness, told Commissioner Hitchcock that the copy of the Chicago indictment had not arrived, adding that the arrests had been made somewhat heurriedly following tele- graphic instructions from Chicago. The complaint which had been drawn up by Mr. Cantent, was based on telegraphic information as to the con- tents of the indictment and it is understood that another complaint wilj be substituted as soon as the necessary documents are received from Chicago. Commissioner Hitchcock infarmed the prisoners that they stood charged, with William D. Haywood and others, of having conspired “by force to pre- vent, hinder, and delay the execution of the laws of the United States.” All four prisoners demanded an immed- iate examination, Hitchcock set tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock as the tentative time for such a hearing. Mr. Content explained that the government was not prose- cuting Haywood, Miss Flynn, and the score of other I. W. W. agitators as members of the I. W. W, but as ‘“conspirators against the United States.” COMPANY ACQUIRES MERIDEN FACTORY Colt Concern Will Manufacture the Browning Light Machine Riflc in Meriden Hereafter.

Skinner of the Colt Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing company made the following announcement last night:— “The Colt company has acquired the Meriden plant of the New Eng- land Westinghouse company at Meri- den and will manufacture there the Browning light machine rifle.” This confirmation of the reports that have been circulated is the first official announcement that has been made.
