THE BURDEN ROBBERY.

Jewels Worth $4,000 Taken From tho
Family Safe. <
NEW YORK, Dec 30.-One strange
feature Of the theft of $57, 600 worth Of
jewels from the residence Of I. Town.
send Burden is the fact that at the
time Of the robbery, which is supposed
to have been about 10 o'clock, none of
the servants had retired, and that l..
Townsend Burden, Jr., and party Of
friends were in The house playing cards.
Young Townsend says that several
times he heard persons moving about in
the house, but supposed that they were
servants, and he paid no attention to
the noise.
Nothing except the safe was dis
turbed. The burglar appears to. have
known exactly where to place his hands
upon the safe, and the jewels. The
door of the safe was not broken, which
gave evidence that either the person
who took the diamonds knew the com.
bination or else that Mrs. Burden left
the safe door open when she went to tho
opera. Among the jewels taken from
the safe was diamond necklace worth
$4,000, another necklace of not such
great value, solitaire diamonds and
pearls.
The servants, who have all been ques-
toned closely, say that they heard no
noise, and had not the slightest idea
that the place had been robbed until in.

the Situation and Criti-

Pending Tariff Bill and Bond

He Says.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. - Secretary
Carlisle made the following statement
to the Associated Press in response to
the following question:
What, in your opinion, will be tho
effect upon the financial situation OF
the tariff bill passed by the house OF
representatives.
. II had" said Mr.. Carlisle, supposed
that very few could now be found who
believe that our financial difficulties
were caused by deficiency in the ordl'
nary revenues Of the government, or
that they can be relieved by increasing
taxes upon the commodities consumed
by the people. These difficulties are
the necessary result of our financial
legislation, and they cannot be re-
moved, even temporarily, by tariff laws
nor by any other measures which 90
not directly enable the. government to
procure the means necessary for the
maintenance Of gold payments"
But One Permanent Remedy.
"Do you, think then that the bond
bill now before the house will furnish
any rollo1 O tuo CIothSuIy!
II am satisfied that there is but one
permanent remedy for our financial
embarrassments, and that is legislation
providing for the retirement and can
collation. Of the legal tender notes, but,
recognizing the fact that such a meas
ure would require time for its consider
alton and for its complete execution, if
adopted, I had hoped that congress
would immediately take the necessary
steps to assist the government in its
efforts to procure and maintain such q
gold reserve as may be required to re-
move the dlstrust and apprehension
which have
Precipitated tho Present Emergency.
The bill reported by the committee on
ways and means falls very far short Of
the requirements Of the situation. and
its passage will not beneticiaily affect
the situation with which we now have
to deal. Our difficulties were produced
and have been prolonged and aggra-
waited by the fear that, Notwithstanding
all the efforts of the administration,
we may ultimately be unable to pro.
cure gold for the purpose Of redeeming
our notes, and consequently be forced
to silver basis, and this fear cannot be
wholly removed until some action is
taken by congress clearly indicating a
purpose to pay all our obligations in
gold when demanded by the holders. :"

LIVINGSTON, Mon, Dec. 30.-During
the past week the Northern Pacific has

at the Bohemian tunnel, the scene f the
recent disastrous fire, and new route
has been surveyed for the sky line
over the mountain range. The over
head line now in use runs diagonally
across the top of the wrecked tunnel,
and there is some apprehension felt
that cave may occur and result in the
road.bei and track being engulfed. A
cave has already occurred a short dis
lance west Of where the sky line crosses
the tunnel. This cave extends clear to
the top Of the mountain, forming q
huge chimney, and completely filling
the tunnel for several hundred feet.
From p esent indications, it will take
nearly year to put the tunnel in shape,
SO as to admit Of the passage of trains.

PRESIDENT DON'T LIKE 1T.
Said to BE Much Opposed to the New
Bond BILL.

Bond BILL.
WASHINGTON, Dec. est is under
stood the president and his advisers
strongly oppose the house bond bill.
Aside from the objection that the bonds
are to be redeemed in coin instead Of
gold, it is understood that the require
ment that they are to be sold by sub
scription is disapproved. The exper.
fence of the government, it is said, with
sale by advertisement, shows the i'll
effectual character of this means OF pro-
lection to the gold reserve. On former
occasions it has resulted in heavy with
drawals Of gold in excess Of imports
where under sale to the syndicate very
few withdrawals were made for export
during the life Of the contract. Again,
in these advertised sales individual sub
scriptions only amount to q small per
cent Of the total, the balance going to
banks and other institutions. The
ability of the government to float any
great amount under the terms Of the
pending bill is also questioned. The
1925 4 per cents now net the purchaser
over 8 per cent and the administration
therefore does not believe short term 3
per cent bonds can be sold at par.

of the expelled men. IL is sufficiently
clear TO the student mind that President
Andrews has not struck at the root OF he
matter of dishonesty. A remarkably
strong feeling against ~"ctibbing' has

men bitterly against the faculty.

chance one Of these men read through
the brief OF the ether wien II was finish
ed, but he did not copy II nor steal from
It. One of the fellows was suspended and
the other was exonerated. The students
think President Andrews makes a mis-
take.
In the first place in order TO write n
brief a man must get bis facts and most
of his ideas from other sources than him
self. The average man has rot the brain
resources TO bring forth n series OF ar
guments and ideas from his own mind.
There are several ways in which these
facts can he obtained and in most Of the
sources they can be drawn by honest or
dishonest work. A student can hire
someone to write n brief for him. "A
student can get someone outside OF col
lege to discuss Il with him and give him
the facts and ideas. He may get them
from magazines. Two students may take
different subjects and discuss them to-
gother and produce two different briefs
simply because they have different sub
jects, while IL they took the same subject
their briefs would be very similar. FINAL
