Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, April 16.-Plans for a
great school of fine arts, equal TO the
Ecole des BeauX Arts of Paris, were
made public to-day by DR.. Nicholas
Murray Butler, presiden' of Columbia
University. They are based upon the
consolidation of the National Academy
of Design and the present art interests
at Columbia UNIVERSITY to be aided by
the cooperation of the Metropolitan
Museum.
The idea has already received sub
stantial support from public spirited
citizens, who. it is said, contributed
at least 100000 to finance the enter
prise, and it is believed there will be
little difficulty in raising the 100000
necessary to insure the erection of a
building for the proposed school.
1t is expected that the site which the
Academy of Design acquired at AM
sterdam avenue and Eleventh street,
where the temporary school now
stands, will be. sold and the proceeds
applied to the maintenance CT the pro-
posed institution. The Academy will
then, if present negotiations be ap-
proved, build on the northwest corner
of Southfield, opposite the university.
structure in which will be housed
schools of painting, sculpture, archi-
lecture. design and archaeology, all
under the general direction of Column
bia University.
This plan rests largely upon sugges-
tions made by Sir Caspar Purdon
Clarke, the newly elected director of
the Metropolitan Museum of Art, who
came here few weeks ago urging that
the museum must be a living institu-
ton and that the genius of American
artists should be foStered.
Under the name OF the Academy of
Design of Columbia University II is
believed plans for the promotion of
American art can be rapidly carried
forward The work will naturally di-
vide itself into three parts The col
Iege will teach esthetics and the phil
losophy of art and the Academy of De-
sign will teach technique and instruct
the pupils how to create works, while
the Metropolitan Museum of Art will
SO arrange it's collections as to make
them object lessons to the students.

were scored by the Hyde faction to-day
in the fight for supremacy in the ,af-
fairs of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society. Men in sympathy with Hyde
declared tonight that they have abso-
lutte proof that Alexander was not only
a member of the syndicate whose trans
actions netted Hyde more than $780,

with the cashier of the society a sum
amounting to about $4,000. which was
being held subject to the action of the
board of directors.
The other point made by the Hyde
faction was that Alexander and his
close relatives were drawing from the
Equitable nearly 100000 a year in

CHICAGO, April 16.-John w. Gates
is facing the fight of his life in the
great May wheat deal. More millions
and mystery hover over the big deal
than over anything I'm the history of
grain speculation, not even excepting
the Harper deal, when Standard Oil
millions were supposed to have been
at one time involved.
The lineup on Gates side is COM
posed of wealthy associates and SYM
pathizers in New York st. Louis and
Minneapolis. The Eastern men know
little about wheat, but they believe in
Gates. The Western men involved
know a gerat deal about wheat and
are ranged with Gates because they
have believed, until recently, at least,
that his position was sound.
Opposing Gates are wealthy men of
various sorts. Many have graduated
from the field of grain speculation;
others are now the greatest factors in

miliar with wheat are against Gates
in the hope of evening UP old scores.
The opponents of Gates are looking
forward to time when the farmer and
the miller will gather all the wheat
available and sell 1t at the fancy prices
that the Gates deal has created.
Nature is working overtime against
the May deal. Clear and cold weather.
following rain and snow, has prevailed
for several days throughout the win

dition for the crop and putting it in a
position TO Withstand the rigors of

The markets of the world are giving
way under the offerings and are now
very nearly at level at which they
can lay down contract wheat in Chi

In a book on his adventures In Tibet
Colonel L. A. Waddell writes: zone
curious result of the cold should be
mentioned here-namely, Its effect upon
the speech OF the people. A peculiar
lty OF the language OF the Tibetans, In
OmmOn with the Russians and most
arctic nations, Is the remarkably few
vowels In their words and the extraor-
dlnRrily large number OF consonants.
For example, the Tibetan name for
Sikhlm Is HbrasljonRs. Indeed, so full
OF %cOnsOnants are Tibetan words that
most OF them could be articulated with
almost semiclosed mouth, evidently
from the enforced necessity to keep the
lips closed as far as possible against
the cutting cold when speaking"
