DECLARES CARNECIE'S INSTITUTE
FAILURE; RAPS HIGHER EDUCATION

Chicago, Dec. 1S.-An extremely pes
view Of Americas experiments
with the higher education, so-called,
was voiced last night by Richard T.
Crane, president of the Crane COM
pany, in paper read before the West
ern Railway club at the Auditorium
hotel.
In Mr. Cranes opinion the young
man who has had the misfortune to
procure technical or college educa-
tion has about as much chance to be-
come the founder of great business en-
terprises as the proverbiaf camel has
to slip through the needles eye.
sharp Rap for Carnegie.
He criticised Andrew Carnegie sharp
ly for the Inconsistency" which had
prompted him to found the Carnegie
institute. after expressing the convic-
ton that 'the almost total absence OF
the graduate from high positions in
the business world would seem to JUS
tify the conclusion that college educa
ton as it exists seems almost fatal to
success in that (the business) do
main.''
Now said Mr.. Crane, latter all

PEACE WAS AIDED
Sessions of National Civic Fed.
sefatipn Believed to Have
Had Good Effect.
NO SERIOUS DIFFERENCES
Compulsory Arbitration and an Elastic
Currency Among the Reforms
Delegates Favored.

New York, Dec. 18,-The National
Civic Federation Yesterday ended its
sessions. The discussion was sharp
and quick, but there was no evidence
of anger in any of the questions asked
of the speakers nor instheir replies.
At adjournment the Feeling generally
expressed was that the cause of indus
trial peace had been promoted by the
two days meeting.
Samuel Gompers frequently question
ed the speakers, and in a general way
the labor leaders opposed, while others
supported, the proposition of compul-
sorry arbitration.
Compulsory Arbitration Favored.
An exception was w. L. Landers of
the United Garment Workers of Can
ada, who said that the Canadian law,
practically prohibiting strikes and
lockouts, was the best measure ever
enacted in the interests of capital and
labor.
Hugh II. Lusk, former member of
the New Zealand parliament, told how
New Zealand had prospered under
compulsory arbitration, but admitted
to Mr.. Gompers that the plan might
be less successful under the conditions
existing in the United States.
NO matter what may De done in
any other country" said Mr.. Gompers,
I'VE will prevent a law that imposes
practical contiscation on the one hand
and Imprisonment as penalty on the
Other"
A trade agreement was advocated
by several as more acceptable to or
ganized labor than compulsory arbi-
ltration.
Elastic Currency Urged.
The federation adopted the follow
ing resolution:
Resolved, That the National Civic
Federation contents itself with the dec.
laration that congress should pass as
speedily as possible, consistent with
security and safety, some measure
which will impart to our currency
greater elasticity, SO greatly demand.

LORD KELVIN DEAD
British Peer, Leading Scientist
of His Day, Succumbs at
Advanced Age.
HIS IRIUMPHs WERE MANY
Firss Advanced Theory of Conserva-
tion of Energy and of the All
Pervading Ether.

London, Dec. 1S.-Lord Kelvin, the
noted scientist, died yesterday. He
suffered chill fortnight ago and on
Wednesday last serious complications
developed. Hope for his recovery was
then abandoned. He lost conscious
ness in the afternoon and passed away
peacefully.
Until the time of his fatal seizure,
Lord Kelvin preserved remarkable
no heif and his title becomes extinct.
The newspapers pay him the high
est tribute as the foremost scientist
of the age, comparable with Newton
and Faraday.
Greatest Scientist of His Time.
William Thompson, Lord Kelvin,
distinguished himself as the greatest
physician of his age. He was a math-
ematician, varied and successful in
ventor, a business man, an unsur-
passed teacher, metaphysician and
of great ability in politics.
Mathematics, mechanics, the physics
of light, sound and heat, thermo-dy-
namics, magnetism, elasticity. telegra-
ply, geology, astronomy and naviga-
ton are indebted to him. He might
well have been called the most useful
man of his time as well as the greatest
scientist.
Native of Ireland.
Lord Kelvin was born in Belfast
Ireland, June 26, 1924. At the age OF
IL he entered the University of Glas
cow, where his father was professor
of mathematics. A few years later he
was sent to st. Peters college, Cam
bridge, where he was graduated in
1S45- The winner OF 10 chief mathe
matical prizes at the English univer
sity, he was summoned to Glasgow tC
the chair of natural philosophy Thai
professorship he held unbrokenly fol
3 and 80 years.
/ If Cyrus W. Field is entitled to tht
glory of financing the first submarine
cable, it was Lord Kelvin, then un

NO BOOM IN STOCK
Secretary CorteIyou Denies AS
pirationS in Statement
From Sick Room.
FRIENDS ARE NOT ACTIVE
Wishes o Avoid Friction with the
President-Will be- Frank Wnen
Bee Begins to Buzz.

Washington, Dec. 1S.AFrom his sick
room Secretary of the Treasury Cor
telyou issued last night an emphatic
denial of the reports that he has been
developing boom for the presiden-
tial nomination, either directly or
through influential friends.
Mr.. Cortelyou earnestly desires 10
remove all misunderstanding as to his
position. His statement unquestionably
was inspired by a wish to prevent fric-
tion in his relations with the president.
1t is not known whether Mr.. Cortel-
you showed his statement to the pres
ident before issuing it, but it is not be-
lieved he did more than to send copy
to the White house last night.
Statement OF the Secretary.
1t is as follows:
Dec. Ill do not know that | am
called upon to make a statement at
this time, but in view of the various
Iumors in circulation as to the alleged
political activity of friends of mine in
my interest, | will say that | have not
been candidate for anything but the
confidence of the people in the dis
charge of my duties as secretary Of
the treasury
Il have not in person sought, nor
have the friends whose names have
been mentioned in this connection
sought, to influence political move
ments in my interest," have not, nor
have they, used any influence, directly
or indirectly, TO secure political sup
port for or against any candidate for
the presidency, and accusations that
such has been done are unqualifiedly
false.
Denies Use OF '.Machinc.,
I'm no office, in no one of three de-
partments with which have been con-
nected, have | authorized or permitted
officials or employees to attempt to in
fiuence any such movements, nor shall
do so.
In common with many other citi-
zcns, | have decided views as to poll
.cies and as to candidates, but l shall
refrain from expressing them until |
believe it is proper for me to do so.
Upon this statement l am entirely
content to leave the people to draw
their own conclusions regarding such
rumors as those to which l have re-
ferred.
IF in the future | shall decide to be
ia candidate for any office. | shall be
prepared to say so frankly and state
the grounds upon which ask for sup
port
''In the meantime | shall try, as I
have tried in the past, to conduct the
treasury department for the benefit of
the people of the whole country and
absolutely without regard to whethar
any action | may take in the line of
my duty may adversely affect my PEE
sonal or political welfare.

these illustrations, based on his own
experience and observation in favor of
the practical man against the technical
man or college graduate, Mr.. Carnegie
enters the field of pure speculation
and backs his fancy with $12,000,00D
technical institute. If he had taken
that $12,000,000 and added another
s12,000,00O to it and dumped the whole
amount into the ocean this country
would be better off,

Mr.. Crane during the evening ran
his fingers along the whole gamut Of
pedagogical activity and evoked many
Idiscords. He challenged the local
school board to show why it should go
on spending the peoples money on
high schools to turn out educated in
competents." He was not present in
person TO hear the flutter of protest
that arose among the technical school
men, who form a part of the clubs
membership. but the paper which he
had prepared and forwarded left NO
