PROF. GREGORY DROPPED
Howard University Stirred Up Over
His Forced Resignation.
II Is Alleged That He Has Become
Heavily Involved In Recent
Financial Transactions. :.

Prof. James N. Gregory, who for more
than a quarter of a century has been q
member of the faculty Of Howard University,
has ceased his connection with that insti-
tuition.
This was determined on by the trustees
at their last annual meeting. 1t was rep
resented to them that a reduction of force
witha view to economy was imperative and
Prof. Gregory was selected as one of the
most available men to go.
Several Others were also dropped His
resignation was called for and refused
The chair of Latin. over which ne presided,
was declared vacant. The reason assigned
by the president of the university and sew
eral OF the trustees is that Prof. Gregory
was involved in debt brought about by his
aspirations as a race leader.
This ambition absorbed too much OF his
time. 4 special meeting OF the trustees
has been called 10 reconsider the case
Prof. Gregory is anxious for reinstat atcment.
The students and alumni are his partisans
The former will hold meeting to urge
upon the trustees the advisability OF re-
calling Prof. Gregory.

MEANS IS NOT DEAD.

On the Contrary, There Is Every Hope
for His Recovery.
Edward Means, the Tennallytown milk
man who was injured in collision with a
Chevy Chase electric car yesterday, did
not die last night, as was reported in a morn
ing paper.
Dr. Stone, the resident physician, said
to Times reporter this morning that Mr..
Means was doing quite nicely and he had
no idea that he would die.
Mr.. Means was very badly injured, how
ever, fracture Of the skull being the most
dangerous of his wounds.
In addition to the fracture Means left
leg was broken below the knee and his right
forearm crushed. Motorman Gugel, who
was in charge Of the car at the time of the
accident, has left his address at the Eighth
precinct station house. and will surrender
himself at any moment the police deem it
necessary.
There is no blame, however, attached to
the crew of the car, as.the affair was un-
doubtedly an accident.

GUATEMALA SETTLES.
Pays Indemnity for ArrestIng and
Reating Americans.


Beating Americans.
The State Department has succeeded in
settling an indemnity claim against the
Guatemalan government in behalf OF three
American laborcrs, W. H. Argall- Henry
Thomas and Robert Pardee.
The matter has been pending for about a
year. The three Americans concerned were
employed by Mr. Van de Putte near the
city of Qua temala to demolish a small shed
and carry the material to a designated
spot. While in the act of carrying out these
directions, she American laborcrs were ar
rested by the Guitemalan police and taken
TO the penitentiary.
They were not served with warrants, nor
were they told OF the charge against them.
They We're furnished with neither warrant
nor charge. but were placed, according to
the description from our legation in Guate-
mala, in a vie. dirty prison, with thieves,
robbers and muderers, without having even
violated a law or having the intention 10
do so.
Inquiry OF Guatemalau officials deyel-
oped the fact that the shed which the
Americans were demolishing for their
Belgian employer had been erected by
an officer OF the government on land
which Van de Putte claimed to be his.
The offense of the Guatemalan govern
ment was somewhat aggravated by the
fact that the minister's messenger sent
to confer with the prisoners in the peni-
tcniiary was denied admission. and our
request to the Guatemalan minister of
foreign affairs for permission to send our
vicr.cous,, f-eneral on a similar errauu
was not replied 10.
The State Department pressed the
Guatemalan government for an explana-
ton and it has been forced to acknowledge
the culpability OF the Guatemalan officials.
Argall has been paid an indemnity OF
$500 and Thomas and Pardee have re-
ceived $500 each.

charges of assault and disorderly conduct
against him.
