Baron von Stslnberg is Guest
 of Honor at Dinner
EMPEROR SENDS MESSAGE
Establishment of Theodore Roosevelt Professorshlp VIII Accomplish much Toward Better Understanding
 Between Two Peoples.

New York, November 2S-A dinner in honor of the exchange of professors be- tween German and American universities was given tonight at the Metropolitan club to Baron Speck von Sternberg, the German ambassador to the United States by Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University. Emperor William sent a cablegram to be read at the din- ner by Baron von Sternberg, thanking James Spencer of New York for his gift of $5O000 to establish the Theodore Roose- welt professorship of American history and institutions at the University of Der lin, saying that the exchange of men of science made possible by this professor ship was the best means for enabling the two nations to closely understand each other.
 There were 250 guests present at the dinner, including MT Spencer. In pre- senting Emperor Williams cablegram Baron von Sternberg said, addressing President Butler:
 Baron Sternberg Speaks.
 q heartily thank you for doing me the honor of inviting me to he your guest to- night and to celebrate with these distin- guished gentlemen an event in which both our nations have ali reason to heartily re- joice. I think you all agree that the happy ultimate efforts of the newly es- tablished Theodore Roosevelt professor ship in the University of Berlin can hard ly be exaggerated. MT. Spencer has pre- sented to us a gift which twenty years ago George Bancroft described to me as the most effective means of tightening the bonds between the two nations, namely, a careful, systematic and scientific pre- sentation of the culture of one people to the students of the other in the language that the students most fully understand.
 "The greatest enemies of our civiliza- ton which daily obstruct it's blessings are envy conceit uncharitableness and above all distrust to which alas, so many na- tions are still prone. feel sure that nothing has done more to stay these evils than your visit to Wilhelmshohe in Au- gust last where with your advice and CO., operation the Germon Emperor laid the cornerstone of that magnificent temple, the erection of which through the mag nifcence of MT. Speyer has now been made possible.
 Tt Is now my pleasing duty to read a telegram which have Jusr received from the German Emperor:
 Message From Emperor.
 "Expres my fullest sympathy with the movement regarding the exchange of pro- fessors. We are highly pleased with Prof. Peabody. and grateful to have him.

termined Efforts that are being made to save the
,tco Of Mrs Anna Valentino ii now seems far
fro,,, nrobable that she will be hanged next
Friday in accordance with the sentence OF the
court Mrs Emma Newbury, president OF the
state Federation of Woman's Clubs OF new
Jersey. and Mrs Coselli, of Newark maze
nersonal appeal to Governor Stokes to-uay loI
. rerrieve which would enable counsel for Mrs.
Valentino 10 prepare in due form the coH'eill-
nIoted coplications for habeas corpus to the
Stota and federal courts This request was
fortified by the following telegram received by
the Governor to-day from Mr.. Tosti the
acting consul general of italy in New-York:
In view Of the legal action TO be started TO

Court. l take the liberty of making an earnest

Acting Consul General or Italy, NeW-Aor
Governor Stokes informed Mrs. Newbury and
Mrs. Coselli that in the event Of a formal apph-
cation from counsel for Mrs. Valentino he would
grant a reprieve if it should be shown that the
time intervening before Friday was insufficient
to properly place the habeas corpus proceedings
before the court. At the same time he expressed
the belief that there is still time TO secure ju-
dicial Intervention before the day set for the
hanging.
James NJ Trimble counsel for Mrs Valentino,
came here late this afternoon upon learning that
both Judges Lanning and Cross. Of the United
States District Court were out of the city. He
called upon the Governor, who repeated what he
had said earlier in the day Mr.. Trmhle said he
would make application for habeas corpus in
the United States Court tomorrow. 1t is also
proposed to apply TO the Supreme Court of the
State for habeas corpus which will permit an
inquiry into the sanity of Mrs. Valentino.

More recently I have had the pleasure of study

sion problem, as il affects the noble profession
of teaching.
I believe there are other classes entitled to
protection against old age ana poverty. I be-
HeVe that as a body the bank clerks of this
country should be made secure in the assurance
that lifetime of faithfuness, industry and in
tegrity should be followed by an old age free
from want
My suggestion is that the American Institute
take up this subject, study it in the light Of
what has been done i'm other COuntries study il
in the light Of some beginnings which have been
made here. confer with the bank officers, and
finally resolve a plan which will meet with the
general approval Of the banking interests of the
country. And l am here TO say that when
