CARNEGIE TO HELP MAKE A LAKE
On which Princeton sandeats May Develop
BOaf Crew.

nun NHVWs
PRINCETON, n. j., March 3.-Prssident
Woodrow Wilson Of Princeton University
denies the report that Andrew Carnege
has given to the university N.o0oooo. ne
says that Mr.. Carnegie has never even
intimAted that he thought OF doing anything
for the university directly. =.
Mr.. Carnegie has, however. promiseo
a substantial contribution to fund that
is being raised to make, on the southern
end Of the campus. a big artificial lake 10
DO used by the residents OF Princeton Tor
rowing, aud particularly by the under
graduates for developing . crew. That
was lea rned tonight from sources outside
the uni versity.
The cost Of the lake is not yet known
but 1t is said that 1t will Be considerably
more than 100000. There Is a natural
basin at the foot Of the campus and plenty
Of water within easy distance. The uni
versty owns considerable Of the land. which
is swampy and Is covered with water during
q large part Of the year.
The lake. it is said. will probably extend
from the aqueduct. about a mile below
Princeton to q point about mile ABOVE
the town. The water will be taken from
the Millstone River and from Stoney BROOK
The Tigers have not been represented on
the water since 1888.
II is asserted emphatically that the under
taking is not at all a university affair, but 10
the work of individuals who are interested
in the town and the institution.

ONLY THE BEST WANTED
German immigrants viii Be
Carefully CuIIed in the
Future.

Berlin, Feb. 21.-Because of United
States Commissioner Williams close
application of the law in inspecting
immigrants, Herr Balm, director gen.
eral of the Hamburg Steam
ship company, and DR.. Wiegand, direc-
tor general of the North German
Lloyd line, have directed their agents
in middle and southern Europe to take
no one who is unable to. fulfill the re-
quirements of \the authorities at New
York. These instructions are not mere
ly formal but are due TO the convic-
ton that the companies would suffer if
they were compelled to deport people
numerously during the heavy immigra
ton during the months of May and
June.
The officials of the Hamburg-Ameri-
can and North German-Lloyd COM
panies have always affirmed that they
carefully selected would be emigranN
but the special instructions now be-
ing issued are the results of reports
indicating that Commissioners williams
is really inflexibly bent on enforcing
the regulations. 1t was pointed out
to Herr Balm that the deportation
of one out of every five immigrants
would wholly absorb the profits of the
amburg-American lines emigration
business.
Emperor William is Interested in the
work of the United States immigration
bureau. On his work table in the old
palace when he received Prince Henry
the other day were diagrams showing
the countries of origin of emigrants
during the last 100 years. The emperor
noted that a steady decrease in Ger
man emigration since he came to the
throne was shown by one diagram. and
that there had been increased emigra-
ton from some of the other continent
tai countries during the same period.

NOTED SNOWMAN DEAD
George F. Bailey, Rival and Then
Partner of Barnum, Has
Passed On.

New York, Feb. 21.-George r. Bailey,
who was famous as a circus man, and
was first a rival and then the partner of
P T. Barnum, is dead at the age of 81
years. Death was due to paralysis.
Mr. Bailey is accredited by showmen
with being the originator Of the Cardiff
Giant" and the Colorado Mummy" Old
Showmen remember him best as one of
the "Four-foot party" a name given to a
partnership of four men who created "a
furore in the circus business about forty
years ago. George F. Bailey has been
confounded frequently with James Bailey
Barnum's late partner. They were not
related. James Bailey went into partner
ship with Barnum about twenty years
ago.
George F. Bailey was born in Salem,
parted their business relations then.
George T. Bailey was born in Saline,
y. Y. in 1915 In early manhood he
moved TO Danbury, Conn. IN Danbury
Bailey went into the dry goods business.
At that time the Turner Bros, owners of
a curious, made their winter quarters in
Danbury. Napoleon Turner had a pretty
daughter and young Bailey fell in love
the marriage Bailey fOresook the dry
goods business and went into partnership
with the Turner'S. John J. Nathans and
Louis E June were later taken into
partnership and 2. T. Baraum was the
chief rival in the circus field. Then the
Turner Bailey Nathans-June combination
united with the Barnum forces. and until
twenty years ago Bailey remained with
the company He retired wealthy man.
Since then he had spent most of his time
in New York.

MoToRMAN INJURED IN STREET CAR COLLISION


The trouble was. though. that there
is no rule about which switch we shall
pass on, and we never know where we
are until we see each other. If it had
been clear it would have been all right.
but in the fog we had to go at it blind
ly."
The carmen on all the lines attribute
Farrow's injury to the fact that his
gates were shut and he had no means
of jumping.
The rule of the company is" said
one man. that gates on both sides of
the front end must be closed and
fastened all the time. The door has to
be closed, and thus a motorman is left
in a pen. If he sees that a collision is
coming, he can't jump. for the gates
mold him. In this way all means of
escape for motOrman are shut off"
The motormen have been dissatisfied
With this rule for long time, and they
hope now that this accident will result
in a revision OF the rule.
Both of the motormen on the coIlid-
ing cars have been in the service for
several years. and were considered very
careful men. FarroW has been with the
company ten years. He has a wife and
five children living on n street. His
wife was notified and went to the hos
pital with him.

violently out of their seats, and all OF
them were bruised and shaken up con-
slderably. Miss Pratt sustained a Sc
we're cut or her knee and her face was
Skinned in several places. Miss Mil
! ford was cut about the face by flying
glass.
Released the Motorman.
AS soon as the cars came to a stop
the passengers scrambled out and the
carmen went to work to rescue Farrow.
( The two cars were damned together,
and the front ends were a mass of
| Wreckage. Not a whole window pane
was left in either car, and pieces of
wreckage were scattered in every di-
rection.
Farrow was pinned in so tightly that
an ak had to be used to chop him out.
He was bleeding profusely and was un-
conscious. He was carried to the home
of DR.. H. D. Niles nearby, and was
later removed to the Holy Cross hos
pital, where DR.. j. S. Richards, the
| company physician, attended him. His
skull was found to be fractured and an
| operation was performed Immediately
to remove a piece of the skull and some
clotted blood from his brain. At a late
hour last night he had not regained
consciousness and the doctors say
| there is small chance for his recovery.
The others who were injured were
brought downtown in another car and
| had their cuts dressed A wrecking
crew was sent out and the battered cars
were taken to the barn.
The primary cause of the accident
according to the carmen. was the dense
fog. The next cause, they say, is the
! fact that there is no set rule about
where the Third street and South Tenn
pie cars shall pass. Motorman Davis
! story Of the accident is as follows:
Davis Tells of Collision.
/ L stopped on the east side of State
street and picked up a passenger. The
4 Ihlrd street car had not passed me on
! the State street switch and 1 expected
to meet it on the Third East switch
The fog was so thick that I could not
see anything more than fifty feet in
front Of me. 1 knew that sometimes
/ the Third street car ran past the switch
and was careful to keep a watch
/ for it.
I I shut my power off at the cut-out
Just east of State. and then started up
again. i ran for some distance, then
threw my power off and allowed the
car 70 coast along. / was due at the
switch at 20, and just at 10 / spied the
Third street car through the mist.
/ I Immediately reversed my lever,
and when 1 saw that the cars were sure
+ 10 come together I jumped, and barely
hit the ground before the crash came
l saw later that Farrow had reversed
his ear, too, but the tracks were so
slippery that it had no effect. Then.
1 TOO, the Third street car had an auto
/ matte blowout that shut the current
/ on when the car was reversed and, Of
course, the reversing did no good I
/ was not running at the ordinary speed
when the collision occurred, and don't
! think FarrOw was, either.

PETTY GERMAN SPITE
Indirectly Aid Is Being Extended
to ReVolutioniStS in
Venezuela.

Washington, Feb. Pit is a matter of
comment in official circles mere that. per
haps without intending to. the Germans
are aiding the Venezuelan reVolutioniStS
in refusing to return at once President
Castro's ships. Word has been received
here that the German commander has in
formed the Venezuelan government that
the ships will be turned over to them at
Port of Spain on Monday Afternoon.
In the protocols 1t was provided that all
ships would be returned and it was
the intention of the allies representatives
here that the transfer Of the vessels
should occur in Venezuelan waters where
they were captured The Interpretation
which the Germans have put on these
articles is regarded here as sOmewha I
petty, but it will not be noticed officially
Instead. the state department will Mace
the Marietta at the disposal of President
Castro to carry officers and men 10 Trim

Meantime the reVOlutOniStS are i'm
porting large supplies of arms and am
mupition into COro and other unguarded
ports. President Castro has no navv to
prevent this and is therefore becoming
FESTIVE at Germany's conduct. 1t has not
been decided whether he United States.
in the event that President Castro again
declares a blockade of the OrinOco. will
recognize it as effective. This matter has
been subject of correspondence between
Mr.. Russell. the United States charge at
Caracas. and the officials here but the
matter probably will not be decided until
Minister Bowen returns to Venezuela.

brakes. but the tracks were slippery
and the speed of the cars could not
be checked. Motorman Davis saw that
a collision was unavoidable and, just
before the cars met. jumped from the
platform. He did so just in time TO
save his life. The next instant there
was a crash and the big Third street
car plowed through the vestibule of
the Brigham street car. tearing it COM
pleteIy from the car. The platform Of
the Third street car was mashed Cat
against the front of the car.
MOtOrman Farrow was caught and
pinned between the two cars. A piece
of wreckage damned his head back
against the door and crushed his skull.
He had no chance for escape what
ever, for the high iron gates on either
side of him were shut and fastened.
and a man stood on either side of
him. The door TO his rear was shut
and locked He was forced to stand
and take what came.
One of the men on the front platform
Jumped over the gate just in time to
escape. The other, Mr.. Bennett, at
tempted 20 jump but was caught and
received several severe cuts about the
face. Conductor Palmer. who was on
the rear platform. was thrown through
the glass door and had his face severe
Iy cut. The passengers were thrown

very great and the court room was sur

The result of the trial was fully ex-

considered to affect the main case. which
involves the authenticity of the Crawford
