NEW YORK. November 29.-Dr. Charles
A. Beard, professor of political science at
Columbia University, has confessed to the
police that he and many of his university
associates have been swindled recently by
a Mr. and Mrs. McDouall, the man of the
pair posing as an Oxford graduate.
Prof Beard said 1t was about three
weeks ago when the McDoualls crossed
his path. calling at his apartments on
Amsterdam avenue one evening. The
man was dapper looking. dressed in Eng
lish tweeds, with an accent which was
unmistakable.
McDouall said that he was an Oxford
graduate and had frequently heard of
Prof. Beard. On his first trip to the
states he naturally took the opportunity
of looking up some Of .the boys" and so
he had taken the liberty of coming around
without the usual formalities. Prof.
Beard admits that he was convinced at
once that the man was what he said he
was, and they sat together for some time
talking about affairs in the English uni
versity. McDouall knew every corner Of
the old town, and spoke of the master
of Balliol and the Bishop Of oxford as
personal friends.
Then the visitor told of hts wedding. and
his coming to America for his honeymoon

his tale he happened to remember that
the cable message was still in his pocket,
and he produced it and handed 1t to Prof.
Beard.

The remittance had failed to reach Nj

offering so small an amount, but perhaps
this would help a little until the remit

Plains, Ca, Jan. 15.-Last Sunday
was great day with the Baptists at
Plains, being the first preaching service
in their new church. A large congre-

which had been paid except 81, 500.
