Cuban Government Not in Fear of At~
 tack on Police.
 Havana, Nov. 14.-The officials ridi- cule the rumor that the government is in fear of an attack on the police. The story appears to have arisen from the fact that the quarters of score of ru- ral guards on duty at the palace were moved from the stables at the side to the front of the building. General Freyre Andrade, secretary of the in- terior emphatically denies that the guard has been increased, and also de- nies that he has even the slightest knowledge of an alleged plot against his own life. There is some evidence that the government, owing to the ru- mors, placed the palace guards in 8 more advantageous position, and that no evidence of the reality of either plot has been disclosed.
 The Associated Press learns that some extra police have been stationed within the palace for the last three nights as the result of apprehension based on an official telegram from San tiago to the effect that some sort of revolutionary plot was being matched there which it was suspected might re- suit in simultaneous disorder in Hava- ma; also that the sudden return of Gen eral Freyre Andrade from his country place in this city started the rumor of a plot against the generals life.

He was fortified with state- ments and data, and was very frank in his explanations.

RRPRIMAND FOR FARRELL
PATROLMAN PLEADS GUILTY OF
 NEGLECTING DOORS.

Testified That He Had Extra Duty on
 the Night of November 7-Competi-
 tive Civil Service Examinations for
 Next Clerk of Board--PatroImen
 Must secure .3S-Calibre ReVoIvers.
 The board of police commissioners held their regular session last evening, at which the principal matter of busi- ness was the hearing on the charge against Officer Michael Farrell If sta- tion ?, charged with failing to try the door of the jewelry store of An drew Tracy, 41S-415 Grand avenue on the morning of November z, on which night it was burglarized to the amount of s54O
 Farrell pleaded guilty, stating that owing to the fact that there were some men off duty that night he had to cover a beat and a half. On the first and second rounds Officer Farrell said that he tried all the doors at g o'clock and again at o'clock, but on the last round he realized that if he stopped to try all the doors he could not make the station on time. He saw watches hanging in the window of the store and concluded that things were all right. Farrell had thirty doors to try that night instead of his regular twenty two.
 Captain Brewer testified that Officer Farrell's testimony tallied with the story which he told him on the day after the burglary. Sergeant Klaiber corroborated this. # .I
 Andrew Tracy, the proprietor of the store, testified that he had lost stock valued at $54O. He said it was his cus- tom never to lock his safe at night, because he did not want to have it blown open if burglars ever entered. On the morning after the robbery after the safe had been rifled he found it locked. '.-' ' #
 Michael Egan testified to the discov- cry of the burglary. .s...5
 The board took the case under con- sideration and decided to reprimand Officer Farrell. He will resume his du- ties on the force this morning. He has been on the force for tWenty-three years, and has never had but one slight charge against hIm prior to this affair.
 The board ratified it's vote of some time ago requiring the patrolmen to equip thmselves with .3S caliber revol- vers instead of .S2.
 On recommendations of the commit tee on efficiency it was voted to pro- mote Officer Joseph H. Cohane from Grade D to Grade c and Officer, P. J. Brown from Grade b to Grade D.
 The commissioners also voted to ask the board of civil service commissioners to hold a competitive examination for the position of clerk of the board to succeed the late Frank A, Southworth.

Sorry for Herrick's Defeat-SufRered

 from Subserviency to BOssism
 Newport News, Va., Nov. 14.-Secre- tary of War William H. Taft reached Hampton Roads to-day aboard the United States cruiser Columbia after a trip of investigation to the Isthmus of Panama Secretary Taft talked freely this afternoon of the election, particu- larly in Ohio, and the situation in Pan anna. He said:
 ''I regret the defeat of Governor Her rick because l think he was made to suffer for alleged subserviency to boss ism, of which he was not guilty, and his freedom from which would have been demonstrated by a second term. His administration was as clean and as free from scandal as that of any previous governor of Ohio. MT. Pattison, the democratic governor-elect, know well. must have 8 democratic governor, I do not know a better man.
 Secretary Taft stated that he was highly pleased with his trip to Panama. "The trip was very satisfactory" he said. Comparison of the condition of affairs on the occasion of my visit last year and this year, shows marked im- provement. Great work has been done in sanitation and the suppression of disease and in preliminary work in con- structing houses, setting up equipment, building railroad tracks, building docks, wharves and all the enormous neces- sary work of preparation before the dirt can be made to fly. The present or ganization under MT. Shonts seems to be operating effectively"

ENDORSE NATIONAL
 UNIVERSITY PROJECT
ACTION TAKEN BY THE PRESI- DENTS OF STATE INSTI-
 TUTIONS

Opinion Expressed That Rhodes ShOlaF-
 ships at Oxford Do Not Offer Best
 Training for American Students-The
 Association Unable to Come to Any
 Agreement on Question of Condemn
 ing or Endorsing FOOtbaII-Brutality
 of the Game DepIOred by President
 Thompson.
 Washington, Nov. 14.-The conven- tion of the Association of Presidents of State Universities adjourned to- day. The convention endorsed the ma tional university project, whose courses are designed for students and gradu- ates' studies only and appointed cona- mittee to confer with members of the committee of four hund. ed named by MT. Hoyt of Colorado, the originator of the project. The association dis cussed questions suggested by the eX- periences of American students who are taking the roads scholarships at Oxford university in England. The opinion was expressed that all schol- arships did not offer the best training for American students, but that as the project was in the early Stages of its history, judgment should not be finally passed at this time. It was contended that American students generally are much further advanced in their studies than an admission to the university ordinarily requires, and that they suf- fered in consequence by being required to enter the freshman year.
 The association was unable to come to an agreement to-day on the ques- tion of endorsing or condemning foot ball as played in American colleges. President w. o. Thompson of the Ohio State university introduced a reso- lution "deploring the brutality and waste of time" resulting from the game as now played. The resolution was discussed, together with the speech yesterday of Chancellor E. Benjamin Andrews of the University of Nebras- ka, commenting this class of univer- sity athletics, practically all of the presidents taking part.
 In order to proceed with the pro- gramme the resolution was temporar- fly tabled by agreement, with the un- derstanding that it should be taken up before the noon recess. At 12 o'clock a motion to recess was adopted, and it is the general belief that the football resolution has been tabled permanent ly. Officers were elected to-day as fol- lows: President, Richard H. Jesse, university of Missouri; vice president, Charles R. Van Hise, University of Wisconsin,; secretary and treasurer, George E. Fellows, University of Maine, reelected.
 At noon a motion to adjourn was finally adopted thus tabling the foot ball resolution.
 In connection with this convention there were meetings in this city to-day of the Association of American Agri- cultural colleges and Experiment sta tions and of the Association of Official Horticulture Inspectors. At the ses- sion of the agriculturalists S. M. Reed of Minnesota presented resolution recommending that the national gov ernment should provide for the teach ing of forestry in the agricultural col~ legts. The sessions will be continued several days.
 The delegates to the three conven- tions were received by President Roose- welt at the White House this afternoon.
