GOULD PLEADS
FOR STUDENTS
His Letter Aids to Secure
Reinstatement of the Four
Suspended Columbia Boys

NEW YORK, Jan. a-Following the
receipt of a letter from Kingdom Gould.
asking clemency for the four students
who We're suspended in connection with
an attempt to seize him for the sopho-
Snores' dinner just before the holidays,
announcement has been made by Dean
Hutton of the school of applied sci
ences of Columbia University that the
disciplined men-Aigeltinger Cauchois,
Doty and Finch-will be allowed to re-
turn to their work at the reopening of
the university this week.
there was a conference between Presi-
dent Butler. the members of the board
of student representatives and the four
suspended students. The purpose of
disciplining the four men was to make
plain to the students themselves and
to the public the fact that hazing
would not be tolerated at Columbia.
and that end, it is said, has been ac-
complished.
Kingdom Could in his letter asking
that the suspended men be allowed to
return accounted for his possession of
the revolver. which he fired to frighten
of the sophomores, and expressed his
wish to finish his course on terms of
good fellowship with the other stu
dents of the university. Regarding the
revolver he wrote:
always take long rides in the country after
the college work OF the day usually returning
after dark. ] frequently take with me q pis-
toll On the day in question I happened to
air so that by the consequent surprise of the
fellows might gain time and opportunity TO
reach the frat house. where I was going to
get my lunch. i had not the slightest ff1ten-
tion OF doing harm to any one and never sup
posed the incident would be taken seriously.

British Steamship Zambesi
Reaches New York After
Series of Mishaps at Sea

NEW YORK, Jan. s.-The British
steamship Zambesi, from Savannah for
Bremen with a cargo of cotton and
phosphate, put into this port this morn
ing after a most eventful voyage, with
her cargo of cotton on fire and with
several of her crew sick. Captain
Rooney of the Zambesi reports that he
sailed from Savannah on New Years
day. The vessel experienced very Sc
we're weather. All went well, however,
until January 5, when the vessel struck
q submerged wreck, which broke the
stem and stove in several of the bow
plates under water causing the fore
peak to fill with water. The ship was
Immediately headed for port, nearly 500
miles distant.
Heavy weather prevailed and furious
seas flooded the forward decks. On

pouring from the fore matches, and it
was evident the cotton in the hold was

connected and the fire was soon under
control. On Saturday morning five fire.

Causes of Poverty.

That certain number of the pow
erty stricken-how large proportion
no one kncws-are the result of vicious
ness in our social system there seems
little doubt. If the viciousness could
be located and corrected these paupers
would become self-supporting and self
respecting citizens. The thriftless,
able bodied ne'er-do-wells, whom
neither education nor opportunity, can
improve, could at least be forced to
earn their own living and cease to be
a burden on the workers of the world.
With these two classes of mendicants
eliminated, there would still remain
enough of the f1otsam and jetsam of
humanity, helpless through mental or
physical weakness or disease, to fully
occupy the charitable instincts of the
race.
1t may be considered doubtful
whether the science of sociology has
reached point where a poverty COM
mission, relatively similar in purpose to
the monetary or sanitary commission,
could throw any light on the subject;
indeed, there are probably as yet few
men competent to serve in such a body.
Rut it is safe prediction that il the
submerged tenth is ever to be perma-
nentIy raised 1t Will be through the
study of poverty on scientific rather

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 8.-All the can
didates for United States Senator who
were here last week have returned to
the scene of action with renewed con-
fidence OF ultimate success The Flint
elation and Flint himself is in happy
frame of mind. 1t is known to the
'insider'' of the Flint campaign that
Senator Hamilton Bauer of San Fran
cisco has agreed TO vote for the Los
Angeles candidate on the first ballot,
and may decide to stay in that camp
until the finish.
1t is given out that Senator Bauers
constituents in the metropolis advised
their representative in the State Sen
ate to take the Flint end. 1t is pre-
sumed that Jesse Marks gave this ad-
vice to the Young Senator, and it is
suspected that some one else as close
discussed the situation with Jesse
Marks.
Some of the statesmen are wonder
ing if knight is to get the gold brick
after all that has been said of the
"hands off, proposition. The question
is asked if 1t can be true that George
Knight, who says that he has win
tered and summered with the old
chief" is living in a fools paradise.
The Bard forces are elated also, but
they are not making wild claims of
strength on the first ballot. They are
willing to wait for the story as it Will
be told in the rollcall next Tuesday.
BARD'S MEN ARE FIRM.

tor Bard's headquarters tonight. They
all aver that encouraging reports are
received. The notion that there is a
wayering or weakness in the Bard
column seems to be absurd. The
alignment for Bard will be hard to
break. 1t is said by the politicians to
be the firmest bunch in the field. The
Republicans who have avowed their
intention of supporting Bard on the
first ballot will go the whole route
with him.
The Republicans of the Bard camp
are stalwarts. They have not win
tered or summered' with the old chief
of the Southern Pacific machine and
do not go to Herrin's office for instruc-
tions as to their votes for United States
Senator. Bard's strength on the first
ballot may cause more than a ripple
CT surprise, although he cannot come
here to personally refute the cam
paign canard that he is so years old
and very feeble

afternoon created a ripple in the poll

PITIFUL ENDING
OF RUINED LIFE
Bettina Girard, Once the
Belle of Washington, Dies
Raving With Delirium
HER CAREER A TRAGEDY
Beginning Amid Refined
Surroundings, It Sinks
to Gutter and WOrkhOuse
HER CAREER A TRAGEDY
Special Dispatch to Tn. call.

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-Death ended
the eventful career of Bettina Girard
in Roosevelt Hospital early this morn
ing, where she was taken raving and
delirious, under the name Of Elizabeth
Witter, from a house in East Forty
first street on Saturday.
The career of Bettina Girard was full
of contrasts, over which scientists
puzzled. Beginning amid the refined
surroundings of a wealthy and dis
tinguished family in Washington, II
sank as low as the gutter and the
workhouse, to rise and fall, year in
and year out.
One week upon the stage, showing
flashes OF brilliancy and with features
and form little changed, she would ap-
helpless in the street from vices that
held her absolutely captive.
Bettina Girard was 35 years of age,
a daughter of General Albert Ordway
the famous soldier. From her earliest
childhood two sentiments appeared to
possess her-one an inordinate love of
admiration and the other a desire for
sensation.
Stories are told of the pranks of the
girl at a quiet little convent In George
town and of her departure from there
to finish her education under tutors;
of her daring horsemanship and love
of novelty; finally of her debut in
Washington society. Pretty. vivacious
and brilliant, she Immediately became
the leader of the younger set. She was
the toast of army and navy. At a
partv a young diplomat asked:
What must I do to become
famous?"
"I will show you," she said, laugh
ingly
There was a whisk of drapery and
the young woman stood holding aloft
her slipper. Filling it with champagne,
she held it toward the young diplo-
mat
Drink a toast to fame" she COM
manded, laughingly.
Nothing daunted. the toast was
drunk
After being divorced from wealthy
Arthur Padelford, she became an
actress. 1t was then that her mental,
moral and physical eccentricities be-
gan to develop. She at once entered
the whirl of gayety. No constitution,
however rugged, could stand the strain.
Drugs, to which she had recourse,
drink and kindred dissipation soon as
serted themselves and it was not long
before police courts, sanitariums and
hospitals had her name daily on their
records.
She was married seven times. One
husband was millionaire and six were
actors or vaudeville artists.

PERSIA PAYS
FOR A MURDER
Makes Partial Reparation
for Death of Rev. Labarree,
an American Missionary

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Information
has reached the State Department
that. complying with the insistent de-
mands of the United States, the Per-
sian Government has made to the
widow partial reparation for the muir
der of the Rev. Benjamin w. Labar-
rec, an American missionary, by a
gang of fanatics and has promised that
all the guilty persons involved in the
crime will be punished The following
statement regarding the case was
made bw an official of the State De-
partment:
On March Is last the Department Of state
received telegraphc intelligence of the murder
of Rev. Benjamin W. Labarree, an American
missionary, near Ouroumia. In Persia. by a
gang of fsnatical Kurds.
A demand was Immediately made for the
arrest and trial of the murderers. whose
leader, Seyd Mirghafar was looked Upon as a
lineal descendant of the Prophet. This cir
cumstance and the fear Of arousing religious
disturbances obviously interfered with the
prompt and efficient action on the part of the
local authorities. The most pressing and ear
at Teheran remained fruitless until the 18th
of October. when Mr., Hay instructed the
Minister by cable to make known to the Gov
eminent of the Shah the Presidents concern
in the adequate punishment of all the GRIM
inals and his intention TO lay the mattsr be
fore Congress, with appropriate recommends
tions If his demands for full justice were fur
ther delayed.
The nnurdcrers were thereupon arrested but
the Persian Government holding the life of a
descendant of the Prophet sacred, offered a
pecuniary indemnity in lieu of the death PEN
atty of Mrghafar. and promised execution
of his accomplices. After consultation with the
widow of the Rev Mr.. Labarree the offer was
accepted and an indemnity of $50 0o0-greatly
in excess OF the sum named by the widow
was paid to the American legation on June 3.
Solemn assurance was given that the guilty
would receive effective and sufficient punish
ment and that no special tax would be levied
on Christians in the province to recover the
amount of the indemnity
The President has complimcnted United
States Minister Pearson at Teheran for the
energetic and efficient manner in which he
has managed the case there.
