At the final sessions Of the eighth annual
conference Of the Federation Of Graduate
Clubs held yesterday in Earl Hall, Columbia
Universi'y,a discussion arose which threat
ened the existence of the federation.
For several years number of the uni

publication of a federation handbook out
lining post graduate courses offered in
various American institutions. United
States Commissioner of Education Harris
volunteered 10 incorporate this informa-
ton in the Government publications. and
many delegates thought this would obviate
the necessity of publishing handbook.
The opinion was expressed 10y many
that without some publication to hold the
federation together and furnish a joint
object of endcaNor, thor" would be- no
reason for the cNitence of ne Organization.

Drs. Flint and Janeway said yesterday
that they had every hope Of Cornelius
Vanderbilts recovery. They went to the
house at 10 o'clock and shortly afterward
issued this bulletin:
For the past three days VT. Wander bilt

perature Is not yet normal. we think 1t safe
TO predict HIS ultimate recovery, provided
no complications arise. In view of the fact
TINT the disease has been 80 severe, his con
valcscence will necessarily be slow Unless
something unforeseen takes place no further
bulletins will be issued.
DR.. Flint visited Mr.. Vanderbilt last
evening and after lea wing the house said
that there had been no change except for
the better during the day. He said there
was nothing to add to the morning bull
letin:
The two policemen who ha We been on
duty at the Vanderbilt residence for the

Only One BOY scatsnccd aaA the
Parole Continued In hut - Cases.
II was parole day in the Children's Court
yesterday. Justice Maver, who has been
there for two months, goes to the Special
Sessions bench In January ana Sun.rv
Wyatt goes to the Childrcn's Court. There
fore. the forty eight boys convicted OF such
serious crimes as grand larceny, highway
robbery and burglary reported TO Justice
Mayer yesterday.
II was the first day. since the Children's
Court began It's work that paroles were ~
turnable except In few isolated instances.
Az result there was much interest upon
the part OF persons connected with reforrna-
tory work and many were in court. Among
them were ex-Warden Sage Of Sing Sing.
who is now superintendent Of the House Of
Refuge. and Mrs. Sage; Justice Keener and
Mrs. Keener. President Robinson Of the
Catholic Protectory, Evert j. Wendell. .
trustee Of the Juvenile Asylum and one Of
the board Of governors Of the House Of
Refuge, AMI Supt. Jenkins Of the Gerry
society.
Since the forty-eight lads were released
on parole they have had to report weekly
to the Gerry society and Gerry agents
have kept an eye on them. They have
been obliged to keep way from their former
associates and also have had to attend
school. The general improvement in their
appearance was marked. Their parents
or guardians were with them In court
yesterday and their reports were COM
pared by Justice Mayer with those SUBJ
mitted by the Gerry agents.
The result was so satisfactory that but
one boy was sentenced out of the forty
eight. In about eighteen cases the parole
was' continued. The others were sent home
on suspended sentences with warnings
that at any time they could be made TO
serve their sentences II their conduct was
not good.
One Of the boys was Leo Polochek whose
case THE SUN told of when he was arrested
for failing to return Sis3 OF his employers
money. Justice Mayer at the time made
him return what money he had left and
the clothing he had bought with the stolen
cash and also made him promise to repay
the remainder. The boy now has Q job
with picture framing concern and stu
dies shorthand at a night school. His
parole was continued, for he has not yet
paid back the balance Of the money he
stole.
Some of the paroles were continued be-
cause the boys did not have letters from
their schoolteachers saying that they had
been behav wing well in school.
