'SThe Strange ObseQuies Of Paganini" = the
title OF an article by Mr.. Loveland which de-
scribes q series OF events the grewsome details
and calloUsness OF which could only have taken
place IN Southern Europe. Paganini died at
Nice IN 1910, and although he made confession
he did not receive the Sacrament for medical
reasons which the doctor stated in writing The
Bishop refused Christian burial to the body, and
the son appealed TO the Nice tribunal, which
upheld the Bishop, but q further appeal was
made TO Rome During this delay the body, in
completely enbalmed. was deposited at the hos

FENCING TROUBLES
CAUSE RESIGNATION

The not unexpected announcement
was made yesterday by FREDERICK Lage.
'O7 science, captain Of the Columbia
fencing team. that he had written u
the officers OF the fencing club at the
university Tesigning his position.
The step was anticipated as the re
suit of the decision of the fencing au-
thorities not to raufy the action of
Lage in Withdrawing the Columbia club
from the intercollegiate League and
placing it in a new league, made up OF
Cornell. Harvard, Massachusetts Insti-
ture of Technology, and Columbia. Lage
persuaded Cornell and Harvard 20 join
in this movement in order 10 take sides
with NJ. I. T, which had been refused
entrance into the Intercollegiate Fenc-
ing Association by opposition headed
by West Point.
Cornell and Harvard yielded to the
persuasion of Lage and withdrew, I'M
der the provision made by the regular
fencing league that all should have a
month in which TO return TO their old
positions. Lage was heartily disguised
when COlumbia's advisers backed down

COLUMBIA TO HAVE
NEW SPORT FIELD
President Butler Makes I'M
pOrtant Announcement.
OF GREAT SIGNIFICANCE
Students Think it Means Athletics VIII
Be on Much Higher Plane at
Their University.
OF GREAT SIGNIFICANCE

NEW YORK, Jan. President But
Ier. of Columbia University, yesterday
created a stir in the undergraduate
world at the local institution by an
nouncing that he had appointed a COM
mittee TO procure a new athletic field
for the students.
This matter had been in the air for
some time. and according to the general
understanding, was being managed by
the graduate committee which Presi-
dent Butler had appointed after the re
cent announcement by the university
council that mtrauniyersity sports were
10 be encouraged. It now turns out that
the authorities of the university are
probably more lSrgely concerned in the
matter than the graduate committee
The new committee consists OF William
Barclay Parsons, chairman; George L.
Rivcs and d. lie Roy Dresser OF these
the first two are members - the board
of trustees, which heretofore did moth
ing in the way of athletics.
The students interpret the fact that
the board Of trustees now is showing in
terest in their athletic problems to mean
that athletics Will be set upon a higher
plane at Columbia than ever.
Not Located Yet.
No clue was given TO show where the
new athletic field is TO be, but It Is
known that IL viii be no farther than
within three minutes of rapid walking
fran the university proper. AT present
almost all the vacant fields in the neigh
bOrhCCd Of Columbia are being partially
built up into residential blocks, which
would indicate that the committee Will
not take them into account. The only
vacant fields that come within the limi-
tatiOns desired are the three plots lying
between 10th and 122d streets, west of
ClaremOnt avenue. The board Of local
improvements OF Riverside and Wash
ington Heights yesterday in q meeting
az the CITY hall agitated their condem-
nation by the city in order that they
nigh, be added TO Riverside. Park.
The students are much pleased over
the announcement that their needs are
20 be provided for in athletics. The
proposition now on foot is 10 sell Column
hia Oval at williamsburg and To use
the funds from its sale in partial pay
ment of the cost OF the new field.
