was needed to carry out the plans of
the university. In the course OF the
year gifts amounting to S1,721,S21
have actually been received while
other gifts have been promised.
Among the latter is the Bulitzer gift
for a school of journalism, concerning
which DR.. Butler says:
With the establishment of a
school of Journalism of a university
grade, new academic field is enter
cd upon. While in a sense this I'M
dertaking would be experimental,
yet it is the judgment of the univer-
sity and of large and influential
portion of the newspaper press, that
it will be abundantly successful. If
journalism is a calling for which no
previous training is desirable or
necessary, then it must be held to be
an exception to all other professions,

Washington, Oct. GA stranger
who later gave his name as Peter Ell
lott, and his occupation as a machin-
list attempted to get into the white
house to see the president yesterday
morning at the north portico en-
trance. He was stopped by James
Ciscle, the doorkeeper, and on being
told that he could not see the presi-
dent became violent.
Ciscle tried to induce him to go
away and an encounter followed IN
which the visitor was badly broken
up. The stranger was armed with a
revolver and a knife and used the
latter on Ciscle inflicting a wound On
his elbow. The doorkeeper, however,
fiially succeeded in overpowering him
and he was taken to the Emergency
hospital suffering from a scalp wound
and a wound in the hand.
After his injuries had been dressed
he was transferred to a police sta
ton. Besides the revolver and knife
there were found on his person a
number of bicycle tools. Ciscle's
wound is not a serious one.

Devonshire Goes Out.

London, Oct. 6.-The duke Of Devon
shire, leader of the conservative party
in the house of lords, has resigned the
Office of lord president of the council
and the king has accepted his resigna-
ton.
The duke of DevOnshire wrote Pre-
mier BalfOur giving the reasons for
his resignation, which he attributed,
among other things, to the premieTs
speech at Sheffield and his pamphlet
on the insular free trade.
Premier Balfour made a lengthy re-
ply to the duke of Devonshire, calling
his attention to many confidential con-
ferences he and the duke had had re,
Gently on public questions and init
mating that the duke approved the
premier's position in all. Premier
BalfOur therefore expresses surprise
that the duke should resign because
of sentiments expressed in the Shelf
field speech, which he says contained
nothing that was not stated in his
note on insular free trade in his letter
to Secretary Chamberlain, both of
which he says the duke countenanced.
Mr.. Balfour complains at the action Of
the duke and says it will make harder
the efforts to bring about a peaceful
solution of the questions at issue in
the nation. However, Balfour says, he
can see no difficulty in carrying out
the policy laid down land which," he
says to the duke, for fortnight you
were willing to accept, by the aid OF
an administration which for a fort
night you helped me to construct"
