GETTING TENOR OVER THE SEA.
COnried Had a Hard Task 10 Land Carl
BurrIan, Who Feared the Ocean.

Heinrich Conried was congratulating
himself yesterday hat he had landed in this
country Carl BuTrian, the Wagner tenor
who arrived here on Tuesday with the other
singers.
Il got a cablegram last week from my
agent in Berlin Mr.. Conred said, -to warn
me that Burrian was so terrified at the idea
of crossing the ocean that he had sworn
he would get off the steamer at ~Cherbourg
rather than take the trip to this country.
II had been arranged that ell the singers
should embark at Bremen | had heard
OF BurTian's horror OF the ocean but had
no idea it would carry him 30 far. My
agent assured me, however. that IL was ex-
tremely doubtful il the eno could he
persuaded 10 remain on board when the
steamer reached Cherbourg. .
Il telegraphed my agent to go to Dresden.
Paris n then take the steamer train for
~CherboIsg. He was TO send me his first
word then. | did not want 10 hear anything
until the steamer had sailed from Cher
boUrg with Herr BuTrian on board. Natu-
rally he was surprised TO hear that the plan
Of the company had been changed and that
they were to embark from Cherbourg and
not from Bremen.
As q matter OF fact the plan was changed
only for him, but he did not know that.
He consented to go with my agent and when
he was too exhausted TO cable more than
the word sailed I feel relieved and for
the first time sure that he would sail"
Herr BuTrian was 40 sick on the trip over
that he implored the captain either to take
him back home or let him get out where he
was. He was still confined IN his room

ILLINOIS WANTS ANDOVER.
University Suggests Coalition with Mort-
bund Theological Seminary.

ANDovER, Mass, Nov. l4.-An open letter
has been received by the trustees Of the
Andover Theological Seminary from Presi-
dent Edmund j. James Of the University
of Illinois in which he asked that a coalition
be made with his university declaring that
il would prove of great usefuln ess and
benefit to both institutions. AndOver Semi
nary is nearly 100 years old, but during the
last few years it has gradually lost its in
huehce. until to-day there are only eleven
students and twelve instructors enrolled.
1t is said to be the only university or school
in the country that can boast Of more in
structors than pupils.
The school has an endowment of 81 900 600
and during its existence has graduated ? 1873
students from the full course, who have
entered the Cong regational ministry. The
attendance began to fall of ten years ago
and the trustees considered the abandon
ment of the property, but the alumni
objected to the proposed coalition with
Harvard and the matter was dropped.
Five years & sixteen students were en-
rolled. This year there are only eleven.
1t is believed that the present condition
OF affairs may cause the trustees to consider
the suggestion of President James.

The fact hat Grape-Nuts is a concen-
trated brain and muscle food, and supplies
actual nOurishment in abundance, places il
in a class distinct from a host Of cereal foods
that simply taste good but have not the
body"
Mich. lady noticed a big difference when
she used Grape-Nuts for breakfast. She
writes:
MY little boy was 80 puny and i'll nourished
we feared we would never raise him. He
could not digest starchy foods at all until he
ate Grape-Nuts, which agreed with him per-
fectly.
"He began to gain 40 much that people
asked me what I had found to make the Diff
ference.
Realizing how much good it had done
him, / determined to try it myself, for |
have always been troubled with indigestion
and constipation, taking a pill every night
for years, and tonics most OF the time.
"~Skeptical as | was | finally threw away
the pills and began to use Grape-Nuts with
eggs, three times a day, and plenty OF fruit
and whole wheat bread.
Il am perfectly surprised at how much
il has helped me, l ave gained 40 much

larry breakfast.
Formerly, when J ate a hearty breakfast

For breakfast | now use Grape-Nuts with
cream; Tor dinner as a salad or pudding;

PLANNING FULTON MEMORIAL.
Suggested That His statue AdOrn One End
Of the Hudson Memorial bridge.

Yesterday was the 14Ist anniversary of
the birth of Robert Fulton and a meeting
was held in the Waldorf Of the executive
committee of the Robert Fulton Memorial
Association. which was attended by over
half of the 100 prominent men who COM
pose it.
Cornelius Vanderbilt a. president Of the
association took the chair and asked for
suggestions as to the means Of raising the
$500, 600 which is to be spent on a combined
tomb and statue of Robert Fulton. The
permission of the four surviving grand
children OF the inventor has been obtained
for the removal of the body from Trinity
Church, where it now lies, TO whatever
point is decided on as the site OF the monu-
ment. Three of the grandchildren attended
the meeting.
After a short discussion a motion was
passed appointing Charles A. Moore of
Manning, Maxwell 4 Moore and Walter
Scott, business manager of Butler Bros,
and such others as they should choose as
sentative men from all trades to lead the
campaign for contributions.
At first it was suggested that the enter
prise be International, inasmuch, as a con-
siderable part of Robert Fulton's life was
spent in England and France and as his
first steamboat experiment took place on
the Seine. Rear Admiral Melville, however.
opposed this plan on the ground that several
countries abroad claimed for themselves
the honor of having the inventor of the first
successful steamboat.
f. E. Olcott, president of the United
Engineers Society, made a proposal that
the association should cooperate with the
committee Of 10 which was appointed by
Gov: Higgins TO celebrate the tricentennial
of the discovery of the Hudson River by
Henry Hudson. WHICH takes place on Sep
tember II, 1909. This committee has re-
oeived an appropriation of 81, OoO. 900 TO build
a memorial bridge across the Harlem River
between Spuyten Duyvil Heights and In
wood Heights. Mr.. Olcott suggests that at
one end be placed the statue of Hudson and
at the other end the statue of Fulton.
This matter was turned over TO the COM
mittee on sites. Mr.. Vanderbilt also APP
pointed a committee on designs.
Both these committees nave full power
TO act.

Sentenced Prisoner Objects That His Term

John Nelson, who has been in prison
three times, and James Mccarthy, who
has done five "bits," were before Judge
O'Sullivan in General Sessions yesterday
to be sentenced for burglary. They each
got two years and four months in Sing
Sing.
You're wrong, your Honor" said
Mccarthy, when he heard the sentence.
That sentence is illegal. The law says
a man must leave prison in the summer
months. Your sentence will bring ms out
in the winter. That won't do"
How do You know all about that?" asked
Judge O'Sullivan.
Il think I ought TO know" replied
Mccarthy. I've been there a few times. "
Judge O'Sullivan did a little ciphering
to determine how much might he taken
of for good behs vior.
THAT sentence is all right" he said.
-All right" said Mccarthy, doubtfully.
You're the Judge and you ought to know"

With Mother Of Grown Ups.
Mrs. William H. Ewald, wife Of a member
Of the firm Of Ewsld Bros, stationers and
music dealers in Newark avenue, Jersey
City, had a battle yesterday afternoon
with a burglar who broke into the Ewald
home, a three story and basement brown
stone front house, at 3SS York street. Mrs.
Ewald is a sweet faced, gray haired woman
Of SO and the mother Of grown up daughters.
She is small but muscular and never has
tainted in her life.
Mrs. Ewald was alone in the basement
at $50 o'clock when she heard = ring at
the lower door. "Beggars," she said to her
self. Let them ring" She then walked
from the kitchen into the dining room and
dropped into a large chair near a window
facing the street. The curtains were
drawn and the man at the door was unable
to look into the room. Mira. Ewald wore
a pair Of rubber gloves for kitchen work
and she carefully smoothed them out as
h waited for the "beggar" to go away.
There was another ring n she walked
into the hall with the intention OF opening
the door. AS she was about to put her
hand on the knob the dOor suddenly few

smooth faced man about % years old
stepped in.
Mrs. Ewald said he turned as pale as chalk
when he saw her, and muttered Damn you"
He stared at her for an instant and then
seized her by the throat with one hand
holding a Jimmy in the other. She be-
lieved hat he intended TO force his way
into the house and braced herself to keep
him out. The man frightened his grip on
her throat an. raised the jimmy above his
head.
Il thought surely that he meant TO kill
me" Mrs. Ewald said, and | fought the
best | knew how. l caught him by the arm
and we wIestled around in the hall. He
apparently tried TO push me into the dining
room and my sole idea vas TO push him out
II seemed a very long while that l was
in his grasp, but ! suppose five minutes
seems like an eternity when you are fight
ing for your life.
Once he threw me down in the hall and

he caught me again and | somehow man

the dining room and | rushed toward the
window. | smashed the glass to attract
attention. jumped out and saw the young
man disappear up the street"
DIR. J. G.. Parsons, a physician of 3l York
street, heard the crash of the glass and
saw the burglar turn the corner OF York
street into NRrick street. The doctor
learned from MR.. Ewald what had happened
and started after the man, tracking him
to Bright street. where he lost him.
Several years ago Mrs. Ewald raised the
curtain OF a dining room window in tie
middle of the afternoon and found a man
trying to force open the sash. He was "a
badly frightened AZ she was and ook to his
heels.

Man Grabs Girl Passing HIS store ami
Police Lock Her Up.

Benjamin Goddard. who keeps a cloak
store at 3 Division street. was standing in
front of his place last night when a woman
passed wearing a cloak that attracted his
attention. II looked exactly like one of two
that were stolen from the window of his
store when a brick was thrown into il two
weeks ago. Goldfarb ran out and grabbed
the woman.
When Goddard charged her with wearing
a stolen carT ent she raised a great rumpus
and Policeman Gafney took both to the
station house. There the girl protested
that her sister in Brooklyn had given her
the cloak. Goldfarb swore il was his, saying
that there weren't two like it in the city.
The girl. who gave her name az Mamie
Mcdonnell and said she lived at 917 East
Fourteenth street, was locked up as a sus-
picious person after the cloak had been
taken of her back and hung up behind the
sergeant's desk for evidence.

The af1davits in the proceedings Origi-

the Supreme Court and later placed be fore
District Attorney Jerome in the hope that
he would institute criminal proceedings
against the present management OF the
Mutual Life Insurance Company were made
public yesterday at the Office of Russell
w. Fish, secretary of the Mutual Life Policy
holders Association. Justice Pischoff, after
examining the aff1davits, refused to grant
the injunction asked for to restrain the
company from dismissing agents on the
ground tina they refused to support the
administration ticket for trustees in IN

Mr.. Jerome, in refusing to mix up in
the affair at the present stage, declared
that it would be very difficult to find a law
hat would apply in the matter
The affidavits show practically nothing
further than has already been told in the
newspapers from day to day in the pres
ent wrangle in the fight for control OF the
management Of the Mutual.
Hezekiah .. Houghton, suing as a policy
holder, makes the first affidavit and COM

ick o. Paige, who was dismissed from the
agency at Detroit, Mich. Mr.. Paige was
named "a a candidate for trustee of the
company on the selected fusion ticket,
which was named in the interests of many
general agents, or at least with their names
on the ticket.
On September Is of this year the Mutual
board OF trustees resolved that no person
with a salaried position in the employ of
the company was entitled to hold a place as
trustee and a notification was sent out tell

that coercion and intimidation were used

suma bly, In the Interest % Bryan.
Boston, Nov. 14.-Following several
conferences behind closed doors here
to-day representative Democrats from
all the New England States except YER
mont organized the New England Progress
sive Democratic League this afternoon.
The movement had its inception at the
Bryan reception in New Haven upon
his return from a trip around the world.
The statement was made that the league
ia not committed to any man for the Demo-
cratic nomination for President and will
not comm IL itself for at east q year, the
object being to enter upon a campaign Of
education throughout New England 10
build up the Democracy. About all those
named as officers are pronounced Bryan
men,, and because Of the absence of any
followers of Hearst the organization looks
to have been organized in the interests Of
the Nebraskan.
These officers were elected: President
Alexander Troup Of New Haven; vice.
presidents, George l.. Crockett OF Maine,
Col. A. G.. Drinkwater OF Massachusetts,.
n. ]. Dyer Of New Hampshire. ex-
Gov. Garvin Of Rhode Island and Michael
Donovan, Of Connecticut; treasurer. p. II.
Quinn OF Providence; secretary, Robert r.
Crowley OF Lowell: executive committee
George Fred Williams Of Massachusetts,
chairman; C.. r. Paul OF Maine, q. M. Wallace
Of Connecticut. Henry G. Ledoux Of New
Hampshire and George W. Greene OF Rhode
Island.
Troup. Crockett, Drinkwater, Williams.
Garvin and several others are known 10 be
personal friends Of Bryan and to be pro
nouncedly in favor Of his nomination in
1903.
A general committee Of one member for
each Congress district throughout New
England will be appointed by the executive
committee to organize clubs in each To-
cality and the bylaws provide that az
he annual meeting not more than three
members shall attend from each club.
One Of the sig nifcant features of the
movement Is the manner in which the con
servative element in Massachusetts was
ignored, Quincy. CASTOR, Fitzgerald
Whitney and Sullivan were not invited 10
the conference. About 100 invitations were
sent out by Williams. but only twenty-Hve
accepted. Alexander Troup anno;Inced
that a motion was passed that oonsidera.
ton Of national candidates and national
policies he postponed for one wear. He
said he was for Bryan, but that had no
been a voter in New York he would have
cast his ballot for Hearst for Governor
Mr.. Troup will start for Lincoln to-morrow
night and spend the greater part Of next
week with Bryan.

special Sessions Acqults Bronx Coroner
Of Assault Charge.

Coroner Alfred +. Schwannecke of The
Bronx, who was arrested on April 10 for
an alleged assault on Louis s. Grenner,
an expert on excise bonds, was found
not guilty yesterday by the Court of Special
Sessions. The testimony showed that the
Coroner was in his o flee at I Madison avenue
when Grenner went in to talk about excise
bonds. The Coroner declined To dc bust
ness with Grenner and ordered him out.
Grcnner said he was not only thrown out.
but was knocked down. Magistrate Finn,
in the jefferson Market court, thought
so little OF Grenner's case next day that
he at once discharged S~chwannecke. The
District Attorney subsequently had him
rearrested after hearing Grenner's story.
The Court yesterday decided that Cor
lei Schwannecke was within his rights
and had used no more force to expel Gren-
ner than was necessary.
