BOYS MAY Be SUSPENDED
Summary Action May BE Taken
Against Students Who Chased
Kingdom Gould.

New York. Dec. 23.-At the request
of President Butler of Columbia uni
versity, Dean Frederick R. Hutton
called into conference Thursday morn
ing several of the ~sophomores who
participated in the chase OF young
Kingdom Gould on Tuesday.
While the dean was suggesting to
the accused sophomores that they
might be suspended, and was warning
them that the university did not in
tend to allow the kidnapping Of fresh
men, it became known hat the cap
tain of the West One Hundred and
Twenty-ffth street police station, went
to the house where Gould found refuge,
and attempted to get evidence as to
whether the young man really carried
q revolver. The conference between
Dean Hutton and the sophomores was
a long one.
When the dean asked the sophomores
present if they would take the suspen-
sion in good grace, they replied that
they didnot deserve it. He asked if their
classmates would look upon them as
martyrs. They said they were unable
to answer that, but the general SEN
timent was that the class would
strike"
The dean did not seek to excuse
Gould's pistol play, but he expressed
his opinion as to the unfairness of a
big crowd attacking 4 man.
After the conference it was an
nounced that Gould had been asked to
appear before the dean, and the facul-
ty would take action on the case Of the
sophomores Friday.

UNHAPPY LQU|SE'S
VISIT WAS FUTILE
Erring Princess Makes Desperate
Effort to See Her Children.
ATTEMPT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL
After a Painful Scene at the Palace
Gates the Unhappy Woman Was
Escorted to the Frontier Un-
der Police Surveillance.

Berlin, Dec. 23.-Ex-Crown Princess
Louise, divorced wife of the king OF
Saxony, on Thursday made a desperate
effort to see ner children, but failed.
She arrived in Dresden Thursday
morning, and took lodging in the
Bellevue. She then proceeded TO the
palace and demanded an entrance to
see her little ones. The guard repulsed
her, and a painful scene followed, dur
ing which the former princess shrieked
repeatedly:
Il must see my children! l must get
in!"
She threw herself against the door
and tried to break through the SEN
tries. Finally, exhausted, she returned
to her hotel.
The police have served notice of ex-
pulsion on her, and she will be sent
to the frontier under police surveil-
lance. The king, who is absent on a
hunting trip, has been notified of the
occurrence.
Attracts 81 Large Crowd.
The royal palace is in the center OF
the city Of Dresden, on the opposite
side of the same square as the Hotel
Bellevue. Louise's shrieks attracted
a large crowd, who cheered her and
hooted the palace guards. The timely
arrival of the police prevented a crowd
forciblv supporting Louise.
The eX-princess turned to the crowd
Saxony. l have a right to enter my
own palace"
The crowd shouted back: Eyes,
you're our queen. There will no peace
here till you retnrn!"
Subsequent demonstrations in favor
and the Hotel Bellevue.
A lawyer and DR.. Zeehme, of Leip-
sic, accompanied Louise.
The police decree expelling Louise
from the country is addressed to the
Countess Montignoso, which is now
Louise's legal name.
Louise entered SaXony from Austria,
via Odenbacn. 1t IS reported nef
parents, the grand duke and duchess
of Tuscany, knew and approved of her
going.
Writes to the King.
Louise wrote a letter to the king
from the hotel, imploring permission
to see her children. The police insist
ed on her departure from Dresden,
which occurred Thursday afternoon.
Renewed popular demonstrations &C.
cured at her departure.
The Dresden press and several Ber-
lin papers express sympathy for the
former crown princess.
The ministry was much disturbed
over the possibility, of popular disturb
ances, and assembled at midday to
consider the measure that might be
necessary. The police were directed
to notify the princess that she mus
leave the city by 4 p. m, and that sh
would not be allowed to communicat
with any one except her attorney. The
princess sent a letter to the court
marshal, asking if she could visit her
children, and after receiving an an
swer in the negative, she left Dresden
on the next rain.
