TWO WITNESSES ARRESTED.
Police Think They May Know Some
thing Of Townsend Murder.

NEW YORK, February 2.-Samuel Bell
and George Flood were arrested today and
held by Coroner Cahill in $1,000 bail as
witnesses in connection with the murder of
DR.. Charles w. Townsend. who was shot
and mortally wounded at his home In New
Brighton, Staten Island. a week ago. Bell
is a stepbrother Of John Bell, the street car
conductor who is held without bail in the
case. and Flood is a friend Of Samuel
Bell.
The arrests today were due. the police
say, to their having found two revolvers at
the Bell home in Brooklyn. On their first
visit, they say. the pistols were not dis
covered, but that on a second search they
found them concealed in q closet. Coroner
Cahill said today that Samuel Bell admitted
that he had removed the revolvers from a
bureau drawer on the day DR.. Townsend
was murdered and took them to Floods
home, later carrying them back to his own
home. Both men the coroner said. denied
having cleaned or put fresh cartridges in
the revolvers, which the police declare were
fully loaded and bore evidences Of q recent
cleaning when they found them.

PRAISE FOR AMERICA.
German Professor Pleased With Con-
gressional Library.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
BERLIN, February 2.-The chief Of the
Anglo-Saxon department Of Berlin Univer-
sity Prof Brandt, who represented Ger
many at the recent Franklin celebration In
America, has delivered an address contain
ing a glowing tribute to American univer-
sity life, and especially the methods of re-
search work, which he contrasted with the
English methods to the latter's disadvap-
tage He emphasized the similarity Of
American and German educational princi-
pies and said: "In American institutions
German professors feel themselves at all
times at home"
Referring eulogistically to the Roosevelt
chair in Berlin University, he said that Ger
mans were confident that 1t would develop
into a factor Of far-reaching influence. He
warmly denied that the professional ex-
change plan was political and not educa-
tfonal and said he was personally convinced
that President Eliot of Harvard had too
high academic ideals to make such low
ering OF the standard possible.
Prof Brandt praised In thu highest terms
the Congressional Library at Washington
with its quick electric book service. Since
Harnack, director of the Royal Library, that
q similar method would be q welcome i'm
provement on the Anticipated system OF Ber-
lin, where frequently 1t took two days to
see q desired book. DIR. Harnack replied
that he himself admired the Congressional
Library continuance when he was In Amer
lea and attempted to Introduce It here. but
was forced to abandon the idea owing to the
opposition Of his bureaucratic colleagues.
