Colonial and American Stu
dents Good Showing.
WIN MANY OF THE HON0Rs
New Element at Oxford SIingIes with
the Old, and Keen Rivalry Is
shown in Scholarship and I'm Ath-
Ietics-BepOrts on the scheme Are
Now Ready for the Public.

London, Nov. 24-RepOrts on the Oper-
alton OF the Rhodes scholarship scheme,
which II is intended TO Issue annually
hereafter. are now available. There are
at D. sent 161 Rhodes scholars at oxford.
Of whom seventy-one are from the British
colonies, seventy-nine from the United
States, and eleven from Germany.
On the whole, so far as they have been
tested. they have achieved a very high
degree Of acadenicaI success. Rose, of
Quebec. and Behan, of Melbourne, are
among the most distinguished Of the
scholars. BehaD won nearly sI, 600
worth Of scholarships IN the past year.
The report shows that q great majority
OF the academic distinctions have been
achieved by the colonial students. who in
this respect leave the Americans no
ticeably behind It is suggested that this
is because the prospect of coming to Ok
ford to study appeals less to Americans,
and consequently the competition is less
keen.
From an athletic viewpoint however,
the Americans more than hold their own
Sutton. Young, Schutt, and Stevens have
all won prominent events in the various
sports. The colonial students have not
taken a prominent part in the sports. ex-
cept the South Africans. who have won
derfuIly strengthened the university foot
ball team.
The doubts which were originally en-
tertained as to how the new element
would mingle with the old one, have
been quite dissipated. The Rhodes
scholars in some colleges tend to keep
together. especially the Americans. but
this is not noticeable any more than in
the case of lads going to the university
from Eton and Harrow. In a great ma
jority of cases the Rhodes scholars have
been completely absorbed in the ordinary
body OF undergraduates.

TWO KINGS ON BOAR HUNT.
Victor Emmanuel Furnishes Sport
for His Royal Guest.

Rome, Nov. 24-King George of Greece
and King Victor Emmanuel, accompanied
by their suites. were driven in automobiles
to-day to Castel Porziano. the royal pre-
serves. situated in the beautiful pine
woods near Ostia, which extends to the
Mediterranean.
Their majesties visited the spot where,
according to classical legend, Aeneas, the
Trojan prince, founded the City Of LAWN
ium. After taking part in a successful
wild boar hunt. the two Kings lunched
at the royal hunting lodge, and then re-
turned to Rome
Much comment has been caused by the
fact that Queen Helena drove to Castei

and had lunch with the Kings. the pres

with the hostile attitude Of the diplomatic

Britain and Germany Look to Wash.
ington for Directions.
Either Nation VIII Leave Diplomatic
Pest Open, Considering Island an
American Dependency Now.

Cuba will be regarded by European ma
tons as a dependency OF the United
States until the period of intervention
ends. This has become self-evident II
oncials Of the State Department al
though no formal notice to that effect
has been received. The position Of Cuba
will be the same as that Of Korea. which
is under domination Of Japan.
The British government appointed
Grant Duff minister TO Cuba He will
not assume his Office and the legation at
Havana will be controlled by the consul
general The German government will
leave her affairs IN the hands OF the con-
sui general. These governments hold that
all Diplomatic questions relating 20 Cuba
VIII be decided by this nation. and Hego-
tiations can be conducted by their repre-
seatatives here. Representations regard
ing matters in Cuba will be made direct
Iv to the State Department here.
No other European power has yet indi-
Gated Its intention Of recalling its minis
ter from Cuba. The administration has
already requested ali Cuban representa-
t;ves abroad to remain at their posts dur
inS the provisional government.
The state Department officials are in-
different to the action of Great Britain
and Germany and will not notice their
determination to leave the diplomatic po-
sitions vacant until Cuban control Of the
government is resumed.
The action taken by Great Britain and
Germany IS equivalent TO refusing to rec
ognize the present independence OF Cuba.

NEWSBOYS' GREETINGS.
The Ruling in the Case of Mr.. SearIe,
as Viewed by Il Lawyer.

II is unfortunate when the wheels OF
justice seem to slip a cog. This appears
20 be the case with Mr.. James Searle, a
printer. Of J04 z street, who was tried in
the Juvenile Court on Thursday. A boy
was recently arrested and tried in this
court for begging. and when arrested he
was using a Thanksgiving greeting
card. such as newsboys use at Thanksgiv-
ing and Christmas in soliciting gratuities-
This card had on it line showing where
the card was printed. An officer there
upon we to Mr. Sesrle's shop, induced
some DO, 3 to precede him and purchase
cards, so that he would have evidence Of
such sale, and then arrest Mr.. Searle. He
was tried and found guilty Of encouraging
boys to beg by selling these cards. SEN

500 fine or three months Imprisonment,
or both.
1T may be seriously questioned" said a
well-known lawyer yesterday. whether
MIR. Searle was guilty under the law of
the onense charged, but aside from that,
II appears that a very respectable citizen
has been placed in a very false position,
which the exercise of a little discretion
on the part Of the official responsible for
the prosecution could have avoided, Mr..

for a nominal sum. Other printers have
done the same thing.
Had the authorities suggested 10 Mr..
Searle that the sale of these cards en-
barrassed them in keeping order among
the youth of the city doubtless he would
have been glad to aid the administration
of justice and order by Withdrawing the
cards from sale. 1t may be admitted that
putting such cards in the hands Of any
boy who can buy them is bad practice.
but Il is difficult to see that in this case
such drastic measures of stopping it were
justified The fact that Mr.. Searle's bust
ness address appeared on the card showed
his intention. Under this ruling, If any
printer or firm saw fit to supply newsboys
with greeting cards and one of the boys
used these cards as a means of begging,
the printer or firm would be guilty Of Mr..
Searle's Offcnse.

TIMIDITY IS A CRIME
So Decides a London Justice
and AlieniStS Agree.
TWO SLAIN BY RANDOM SHOTS
Prisoner in ParOxysm of Fear Fires,
and UnofTending Persons Standing
At a Distance Are KfIIed-Crim-
inOIOgists Discuss Case, and Say
Victim of Fear should BE Confined.

Lcndon, Nov. 2L-Is timidity a crime?
Justice Grantham so decided this week
in sentencing a man who committed man
slaughter under a paToxysm Of fear. Tho
prisoner was so alarmed at threats OK
violence from dodgers who refused his
demands for rent, that he fred az random
from a pistol, which. it seems, he always
carried in fear OF unknown terrors. TWO
uroffending persons who were standing at
a distance were killed The judge. admit
ting that there was no criminal intent,
sentenced the man to serve a year at
hard labor saying he had no right TO
give way TO timidity and that there were
too many deaths from the crime OF
timldity.
Sociologists and etholog'sts have been
discussing the aptness Of the judges des-
ignation. Dr. Forbes Winslow, the we'll
known specialist on mental diseases, says
he is convinced that the judge is right.
Timidity ought 10 be treated as a crime.
1t is never characteristic of insane peo-
ple who are invariably courageous, and
cannot be appealed to by fear Of conse-
ouences when they are determined on 3
desperate act. Timidity. he says. cannot
be regarded as a disease.
Thomas Holmes, an expert criminolO-
gist, says timidity leads 10 crime much
more frequently than is generally recog-
nized. There is a large class Of neUrotic
persons haunted by fear of some i'm
pending evil to such an extent that they
become entirely irresponsible for their ac-
tions, and are liable TO commit deeds OF
violence. usually against themselves.
Nevertheless. he believes that such per-
sons certainly should not be sent to
prison. They ought to be confined in q
home for the unit. He is certain that
Justice Granthams convict will leave
prison much more of a menace TO the
safety Of the public than he IS now, in
asmuch as the ruthless monotony Of the
prison viii be sure to make his condition
mentally worse.
Secretary Brady, OF the Theological
Society. considers timidity the natural re-
suit Of mental incapacity which is prob
ably hereditary, but much more Of dis
ease than crime. Timidity, besides be-
getting innumerable tragedies. often leads
to drunkenness.

DISC0vERER CALLED ALARMIST
British students say Deduction of

London, Nov. 4-Dr Karl BIeibtreu's
discovery Of the true Shakespeare does
not impress British literary critics. who

sons for his new faith. find them entirely
Unconvincing. DR.. Bleibtreu declares that
the low comedian, William Shakespeare,
who regularly got drunk at the Mermaid
Tavern" could not possibly have the wide
learning and knowledge Of other countries
which the author of the Shakespearean
works evidently possessed.
On the contrary, Roger, the Earl of

of Rutland died.
The foregoing are among some Of the
most striking condolences which have

OF other Shakespearean dethrouers. They
are considered irresistible by Dr. Turssin-

London. Nov. 4.-It Is a curious COM
mentary upon the condition of European
affairs for the moment that the chief topic
Of public interest in at least three eoun-
tries this week has been the vulgar ad-
venture in which the worlds greatest
tenor finds himself involved.
Such. Indeed. is the fact. and we have
seen the press Of London, Paris, and
Rome Issuing special editions. giving de-
tails Of the prosecution of Caruso in a
New York Police Court.
Now It happens that one Of the fixed
IDEAS IN the European public mind about
America is that New York policemen and
New York police magistrates comprise
about the most corrupt combination OF
municipal maladminlstration that exists
on the face Of the earth The natural ef-
feet Of this assumption has been to create
an immense amount Of sympathy for the
great Italian among the general public.
The average reader has been a good
deal puzzled by some of the evidence
given or offered, and he has not been
able to detect the motive for condemn

viction is generally denounced.
Long cabled accounts Of the trial. with
descriptions Of the court scene, have given
the impression, especially in this coun-
try. that the hearing resembled a theatri-
cal travesty more than a judicial pro-
ceeding.
Friends Are Indignant.
This attitude of the general public quite
fails 20 represent the feelings Of Caruso's s
nersonal friends and acquaintances. Their
Indignation at the decision knows no
bounds. They resent Police Commissioner
Mathot's designation Of him as the
grossest slander. Caruso in private life
in London has always been a big boy
with an overwhelming desire to play
harmless pranks. None Of his London
associates ever detected suggestion Of
viciousness-
