MINISTER AT YALE
Ling Tung Yen, the New Repre-
sentative From China, Was
a Student There.
PROVED LIVELY, FUN LOVING
Excellent in Baseball and Tennis, and
Was an All Around Good Fellow
Welcome Ready.

When LANG Tung Yen. the new Chi
nese minister. reaches Washington the
tennis cabinet is likely TO have an
accession unless Ting as the Yale
students used to call him, has gone
back as an athlete, says the New York
Sun. In his day he was one of the
most assiduous tennis players that
Yale had.
Moreover, he resembles Sir Chen
tung LANG Cheng, whom he will sue
coed, in that he was a baseball pitcher
In. college. Sir Chentung LANG Cheng
used to Nwirl the sphere at Amherst.
Mr.. LANG did the same at Yale. He
wasn't quite up To varsity timber, but
in class and other contests he used to
throw a curve that puzzled the best Of
the ordinary players.
When he twisted himself into a knot
and flung his arms and legs about and
then let his cue execute u flank laSSO
movement about his head as the ball
left his hand, the batter was pretty
sure to strike out Some of the boys
said they couldn't tell whether it was
the curve or the spectacle of the flying
cue that did it, but out they would go.
All Yale men of the late seventies
and the early eighties read with pleas
ure that Mr.. LANG was coming again
to the United States with the high rank
of minister. His arrival has special
timeliness in view of the fact that the
class of 'S2 has already petitioned
Val I,nr 70, him his
degree. He was recalled by his gov
eminent one year before he finished
his course.
His record as a student was good.
His devotion to learning since has
been such that the class has asked that
he he put on the list of alumni with
the degree that he would have received
had he been allowed to finish his work.
1t is thought that at the coming com
mencement at Yale announcement will
be made that he is at last to be allowed
to have all the rights and privileges of
any other of Yale's sons.
Mr.. Liang's classmates are already
preparing to give him an enthusiastic
welcome. Never WAS an American
more of good fellow in college than
Ting. There were several other Chi
nese students at Yale when he was
there, but Ting was the popular one
OF the bunch. and he was modern
through and through with the excep-
ton of his dress and slight accent
In his speech that made his use of fine
English all the more delightful. The
Yale men-boys they will be when
they foregather with Ting soon after
he arriyes-all. say that he had an

American soul and that there never
was yOungster in America more keen
for fun than he.
One Of = Large Number.
Ting was one of about sixty or sew
enty picked Chinese boys sent over
here in the early seventies by the gov
ernment to get modern education
and to learn western ways. Yung
Wing of Hartford had general super
rious preparatory schools and then en-
tered American colleges. All of them
had become expert in English before
entering college. Ting was educated
in the Hartford High school and enter
ed the class of 50 at Yale.
The records of the university will
not show that he was one of the high
stand men. He was never grind.
He soon acquired the American trick
of getting there with the smallest
amount of hard study and the largest
amount of rolIicking fun. He simply
stood well in the class and was sharp
enough not TO run the risk of ''fiunk-
ing out"
Professor Edward Dana. who taught
physics when Ting was in Yale. found
it necessary one day in the classroom
to suggest to Ting that perhaps il
would be better for him not to fail in
his work. Professor Dana went at the
matter tactfully. He said:
Il should like to suggest to you that
perhaps it would be wise on your part

Smith wasn't there, but was stand
ing in the doorway of the closet oppO-
site convulscd with laughter When
they found Ting he was under the
/ bed. according to the well preserved
"reminiscences of the class. Whether
it was Ting who spoke through the
door or some one who initiated him
matters little. Nothing serious hap
pened. They say. however, that for a
time Ting had demure air such as
only a Chinese could put on and get
away with it.
Ting cXcclied in mathematics The
signs and symbols of modern mathe-
MATES are often Il stumbling block to
the oriental mentality. but not So to
Ting. He could just eat mathematics
up. In fact his former classmates say
that he could excel in any subject
when lie put his mind to it. but he
loved baseball and tennis.
Tin@'s proficiency in mathematics
stood him in good stead in forming a
scheme whereby all the boys of a Ger
tain set, about ten of them, could have
spending money the entire month and
each need spend his own money only
three days Il month and could live off
| the other nine for the rest of the thirty
| days. Each of these boys had about
500 spending money a month. OF
| course the checks would arrive about
the same time. The spirit of prodigali-
| ty prompted the expenditure of the en-
| tire money at once The result would
| be that each boy would go broke in
about week. and the coterie would
have nothing but memories until the
arrival of the new checks.
Ting'S great mind solved the problem.
| The checks We're pooled. Each 500
was to last three days, and all hands
We're to live on it. For exactly three
| days one man had to pay all the bills
| Of the rest. The result was that they
had money all the time and had the
satisfaction of living off some other
| fellow with the exception of three
days month. The solution of that
| great problem in finance made Ting Il
marked man in Yale. There are many
graduates who have since longed for
the return of Ting to the United States
to help them out in schemes of finance
LANG Tung Yen's ability in mathe-
MATES probably had much to do with
his future career in China. He was
Il prOtegc of Chang, viceroy of the
province of Chill. The youth was a
brilliant Chinese scholar. according 10
| their standards. even If desire to
have good time interfered with high

after his return to China he was pri-
vate secretary of Niceroy Chang, and
at the time of the Boxer rebellion he
rendered conspicuous service with
Niceroys Chang and Liu in ignoring
the imperial edict to kill off the for
eigners. His influence with Chang

' ROUBLE MAY COME
 WITH MOVING HALL

Now that everything connected with the moving of the city hall seemed to have been arranged. there are rumors of more troubles.
 Mayor Baldwin said this morning, in answer to question that he under stood the telephone company would ask for an order restraining the city from moving the building to the city's lot.
 When Manager Boyd of the tcle- phone company, was seen he denied that he had made any threat whatever of moving against the city council, but he. showed typewriter sheet upon which were enumerated all the damag- es that would be inflicted by the nov ing of the building along the route proposed
 The mayor, when seen again, stated he received his information about the alleged intention to ask for restrain ing order from city Attorney Rust gard He also stated that the build ing would be moved any way. and that the work would continue.
 The following is the list of injuries which Mir. Boyd says will be done his telephone system by the removal:
 At Barracks Square it will cut 20 pairs of local wires. and one pole will have to he removed At the corner of Second avenue east snd Linton Way it

 Mir. Boyd says the lines mentioned would be out of business even for some days after the removal
 There seems to have been nothing definite said so far about a restraining order, but those who know are looking into the near future with expectancy.
 The matter will probably be taken up at the meeting of the city council this evening. Until then the threaten ing troubles can not be expected to take shape
