Russian university, driven into exile
with his fellow Hebrews, found tenn
porary employment in New York as
the conductor of a street car. Two
women got on together one day, and,
later, signaling the conductor begged

three masked highwaymen on lonely
road near here last night, but his
wallet, which contained more than ST.

waymen attempted to 60 through his
pockets. Just as they we're overpower-

other side Of the road, and before the
footpads could reach it, the spaniel took
the discarded treasure between his
teeth and ran into the bushes. The
footpads started in pursuit of the dog,
firing their revolvers as they ran, and
Rohen was soon left alone. Two hours
later the dog came back with the
money.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 27.-The secretary
OF agriculture. in his report submitted
TO the president, desotes considerable
space to IA review Of what he regards as
an anamalous partnership between the
government Of the United States and
the governments OF the respective states
for the conduct and encouragement OF
state agricultural college and expert
ment stations Referring to the sum
appropriated for the use OF state expert
ment stations. he says: This appropria-
ton is unlike any other moneys legis-
lated out OF the treasury OF the United
States because there is no officer of the
United States authorized 10 direct,

He suggests that the stations should
be entirely divorced from the depart

directly to them. or that the secretary
should have some power TO direct and
restrain their disbursements so as TO in
sure legitimate expenditure OF the
samc.
