The convention indorsed the national university project, whose courses are designed for students and graduate students only, and appointed a com- 1 mittee, consisting of Presidents Baker, { Buckhall and Thompson, to confer with | the members of the committee of four nundred named by Mr. Hoyt of Colo- T , the originator of the project. he association discussed questions suggested by the experiences of Amer- ican students who are recipients of the Rhodes scholarships at Oxford University in England. President Campbell of the University of Oregon opened the talk on the subject. The opinion was expressed by some that the scholarships uid not offer the best training for American students, and that as the project was in the early stages of its history, judgment should not be finally passed upon it at this . time. It was contended that American | students generally are much further advanced in their studies than an ad- | mission to the university ordinarily re- quires and that they suffer in conse- | | quence by being required to enter the | | freshman year.

Hyde sald that Mr. Harri- | man came to bim and advised the set- | tlement of Odell’s wult, as he feared | that powerful Influence at Albany | would be Invoked in retaliatory meas- | ures. Harriman suggested ns one of | | thewe mensurcs the revocation of the charter of the Mercantile Trust Com- [ pany. { iyde knew of no actual steps that were | taken, nor of any bill that was introduced, but he was beset with rumors that such steps were about to be taken by legisla- tion. The Equitable Life, he sald, was not interested beyond the connmection it had with the Mercantile Trust Company. Hyfe was under the impression that the Mercantile in settlcment retained the bonds and paid Odell about $75,00. The original claim of Odell was about $180,- 000. The bonds subsequently netted about 50 cents on the dollar. Hyde said Harri- man suggested the settlement of the suit and that the counsel and members of the executive committee of the Mercantile Trust advised it, and he recommended it. | OBJECTS TO BEING EXILED. ! Charges of conspiracy to get him out! of the country were made by Hyde| against Henry C. Frick and E. H. Har- riman, in connection with the reported aspirations of Hyde to become Embas- | sador to France. He said Frick inspired the jdea and witness took it as a joke at first, but when Frick brought it up later Hyde was flattered, and both Har- ! riman and Frick promised to use their influence to secure the appointment. Again Hyde waxed bitter in his ex-| planation of the extraordinary interest these gentlemen had in his absence from the country. He sald he thought thelr idea was “that they would acquit them-| selves of their friendly stewardship with ! great profit to themseives,” and added that the nature of their interest had, since become very obvious. Hyde charged Frick with breach of faith in leading him | to believe that the Frick committee was | “friendly” to him and with doing all he! could to dissuade witness from selling his stock; “at the same time,” as Hydel| said, “doing everything on that commit- | tee he could to knife me and destroy the value of that stock.” SAYS THE REPORT WAS UNFAIR. Hyde explained that he used “friend- | | Surgeon Smith, who, after the | Hospital, ,the soclety and he was dency, which can scarcely be called to account as was the Chinese Govern- ment by Minister Rockhill.

Justice Amend also restrained the Board of County Canvassers from taking any action with regard to the can- vass of the vote until the question as to the production of the tally sheets had been decided. It was claimed by counsel that the tally sheets were necessary in order that the vote might be properly canvassed. A sim- ilar order was obtained from Justice Dickey in Brooklyn against the can- vassers of Queens County. Attorney General Mayer will appear be- | will ask for a large number of additional indictments charging fraud at the elec- ! tion.

LOUIS Entertains Thousand Amer-! | dean Guests at a Dance! on the Flagship Drakei | Friendship of Anglo-Saxon! Nations Illustrated in| the Vessel’s Decorations | | -— i FLAGS ARE ENTWINED \NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—Admiral Prince| Louis of Battenberg became the host to-| day, and, in return for the hospitality | which has been shown him during his| stay in American waters, gave a magnif-| icent dance on board his flagship, the| Drake. The thousand or more invited | guests included officials and society peo ple In Annapolls, Washington, Baltimore | and West Point, as well as in New York. At the entrance of the long Cunard j pler floated -a tremendous British flag. Passing through the doorway, half way down the pier, the guests saw a curtain of red, white and blue bunting enclosing the suppgr room, which occupied the other half of the pier. ut in with ['heavy canvas, the interior was all agloy with the light from the festoons of red, white and blue electric bulbs strung from the center of the roof, which was formed by a canopy of bunting. Just outside the supper room was the gangway by which the guests went aboard the Drake. The entire ship was enclosed in a heavy canvas. Coming over the side the guests passed along the port side to the quarter deck, where Prince Louis received. The tented walls of the after deck were hung with flags of the nations, and the stars and stripes and the | Union Jack were everywhere intertwined. From the quarter deck the guests passed up a stairway banked with flags to the Drake's ball room. From the main derrick, rising high from the center of the boat deck, shone the stars of the original thirteen States, made of littre electric lights on a fold of blue bunting. From this central point were draped tent-fashion the red and white stripes of American flags. Be- neath this stars and stripes stretched across the polished ball room floor built along the entire boat deck and extending aft to the last of the Drake's four fun-| nels, affording room for more than 20 couples. Rising from the floor to meet the canopied roof were walls of bunting and ships' flags. At regular intervals around the walls were American and British flags, draped fan-shape and in between were round framed mirrors. These mirrors were really the reflectors of the ship's powerful searchlights, framed in inflated life buoys. A diver's uniform inflated stood at the end of the| deck, holding a basket of dance cards jon the extended right arm. i Through this wonderful garden of color | strolled nearly a thousand guests. On the after bridge overlooking the ball room was the band of the Drake which ' turnished music for the dancing. ————— PRANKS PLAYED BY TARS. !Pailnt Sign on Side of the Battleship ) West Virginia. | NEW YORK, Nov. 14—With a crew | nearly all untried, Captain Arnold and Lieutenant George of the West Vir- have bad their hands full for It- leaked out last | ; ginia the last few days. at Coney Island that on the morning | { before the fleet arrived in the harbor | | some artist had decorated one side of | the vessel im a way which is not set | | down In the regulations. } Lieutenant George is affectionately | { known among the saflors of the West | Virginia as “Bulldog” George.

M.—If the Ilat- est report concerning the Enterprise Bank is true, Receiver Cunningham is in possessign of a duplicate set of books kept by persons in the bank between August 235 last, when the Federal exam- ination was made, and the day the bank closed its doors. This Information comes from one of the directors of the Enter- prise Bank, who appeared to be surprised that no mention had been previously * made of this incident in the examination of the bank’'s accounts. The finding of the books was some days subsequent to the suicide of Cashier Clark, and a perusal of them had been of invaluable assistance in tracing to thelr source many of the fraudulent flnancial transactions that wrought the wreck of the bank. It is sald Examiner Moxey carried with him to Washington a com~ plete copy of these accounts and upon them the Federal Government will base its criminal suits. Just who will be hit by the contem- plated action is a matter of conjecture. The presumption is that Clark bad not sole knowledge of these-books and was not the only person who made entries in them. It iIs known that certain employes of the Enterprise Bank have been compelled to secure their notes and make real es- tate transfers. Inquiry into the reasom for this elicits the information that these employes secured loans from the bank that have not vet been met. What the sums aggregate is not known, but Re- ceiver Cunningham insisted that these loans be insured by notes and property transfers of ecual value.
