STUDENTS FOUGHT THE TROOPS.
Many Casualties In the Bucharest Demon
stration Against French Play.

Special cable Despatch 10 THE Sun.
BUCHAREST, Rumania, March 27.-Cavalry
last night charged a mob of students and
a serious riot ensued.
The Women's Charitable Association, Of
which Crown Princess Marie is president
organized a performance at the National
Theatre of a French comedy. The stu
dents, influenced by Prof, Jorgas, resented
any language but Rumanian being spoken
in the theatre, and determined to prevent
the use of the French tongue. They occu-
pied the streets leading to the theatre and
stopped the people who desired to enter.
The police were sent to clear the streets,
but they were met with a volley Of stones
Troops were thereupon called to dispense
the mob. The students, aided by roughs,
then raided houses, overturned trolley
cars and barricaded the streets. Stiff
fighting followed. revolvers, stones and
bayonets being used.
There were $50 casualties among the cav
airy and infantry. At least W students
were killed.
1t is believed that the riot was really in
cited for political purposes. The orders
given to the troops not to spare the rioters
tend to confirm this. The soldiers obeyed
their orders and slashed and stabbed as il
they were engaged against a foreign enemy.

Friend and Hoffstot conspired to loot the
estate of lutte. In their answer the de-
PENDANTS deny all the allegations of the
plaintiffs and say that lutte was finan-
cially involved for over a million dollars.
Everything he had, they say, was pledged
to raise money to clear his indebtedness
and he was practically bankrupt. He
went to them for assistance and said 5000 900
would clear his indebtedness.
They loaned him the money and after
ward learned the real state of his finances
and that he had been indicted in West
Virginia for forgery. Less than a month
after they entered into the arrangement
to loan him money lutte attempted suicide
by shooting. His creditors at once began
to press upon him
In all. the defendants say, they have in
vested over 81, 900, 600 in the lutte company
TO carry it along and help it on 10 a paying
basis, Instead Of gaining great profits
from their dealings with lutte, they say
1t has been a great financial burden.
They deny that lutte was insane when
he made the deals with them and cite the
fact that at these times he was in court al
most daily testifying in suits which had been
filed against him by his creditors.

BANK LOOTING ARRESTS.
Five More Warrants Said to Have Been
Issued In the Enterprise Case.

PITTsBURa, Pa, March 27.-Despite the
assertions of District Attorney Dunkle that
no more informations are to be made at
present against the looters Of the defunct
Enterprise Bank, it is rumored this evening
that five additional warrants have beer
sworn out and that men a great deal higher
up than those already under arrest will be
called to account. The report cannot be
confirmed, although District Attorney Dun
kle admitted this afternoon that other ar
rests would probably follow before many

This morning Thomas A. Harvey, the for
mer paying teller of the bank, who could
not be found when the others were arrested
yesterday, appeared at the Government
Building and gave himself up. He fur
nished bail in the sum Of IS 1000. All of the
others under arrest have either furnished
bail or arranged for it.
According to Assistant United States
District Attorney Gibson, the crookedness
of the employees Of the bank will be far
more serious than was at first supposed 4.
Mr.. Gibson said:
The trasaotions disclosed by the in
vestigations which have resulted in these

to 81 100000 instead Of $4,000 as first
stated, and 1t may go even over that. We

travelling expenses from Manila to Hong

he has properly received the regulation
seven cents a mile, as he took that route
by orders authorized by the President.

Frank S. Witherbee Loses 50 900 in Jewelr,
and Plate.

A second story man entered the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank S. Witherbee,
4 Fifth avenue, early yesterday morning
and despoiled it Of jewelry and silverware
valued at over $1,000. The burglar was
seen by both Mrs. Witherbee and her daugh-
ter, Miss Evelyn Witherbee, but they
cuddled under the bed clothes and kept
quiet. Mr.. Witherbee was not at home.
The house was entered from the rear
of the second floor against which a ladder
had been placed. Apparently the burglar
went first to the dining 70 or on the first
floor and there sorted out pieces of plate,
valuable intrinsically, and more valuable
still to the family from association.
Thence heNmade his way to the third
floor and entered Miss Witherbee's sleep
ing room, She was awakened by a slight
noise and the flash of a lantern across her
face, and sa him ransacking her bureau,
dressing table and desk.
Miss Witherbee was too much scared to
move, nor did she stir for several minutes
after the burglar left her room. Her i'm
pulse then took her to her mothers
room, on the second floor, and there
she found that Mrs. Witherbee had had
a similar experience, having been ava
kenedl by a lnoise andI having lain still
while the burglar continued his search for
valuables. From these two rooms jewelry
valued at about 81, 200 was taken.

The Presbytery began yesterday a suit
against the Westminster Presbyterian
Church In West Twenty-third street, which
promises to be one of the most bitter con-
tests over an ecclesiastical property ever
tried In the courts OF New York.
Service was made yesterday on as many
members Of the church board OF trustees
as could be reached. They are cited to
appear before Justice N~ewburger in the
Supreme Court on Thursday OF next week.
or the nature of the action the Presbytery
authorities will have nothing to say.
In other quarters 1t was learned that
the trustees are to be sued for payments
which they have made to the Rev. DR..
John Lloyd Lee, the pastor Of the church,
since the severance Of relations with the
Presbytery. DR.. Lee contends, with the
church officers; that the church went
out with him. The %Presbytery holds that
he is no longer pastor and that salary
payments to him are no longer justified
and must cease.
