PARIS, Jan. &.-The funeral of Benoit-
Constant Coqueltp. the great French &C
tor, who died at Pont-aux-Dames, Seine
et-Marne Tuesday, will be held on Janu-
airy %.
The French press pays a high tribute
to the genius of NJ. Coquelin, whom it
considers to have been one of the great
est theatrical figures Of the age. Al
most all the papers recall his latest
success in Sardou's THE Poison Affair"
The Temps says NJ. COquelin will be
mourned by every one; by the authors
of whom he was the brilliant in
terpreter; by the public, of whom hr
was the idol; by the great and humble.
and by poor actresses, of whom he was
the benefactor.
Only a few days ago NJ. Rostand, who
recently had been giving the finishing
touches to THE Chanticleer," arrived in
Paris from Cambo, and he was ready to
begin the rehearsals of the play in which
NJ. Coquelin, who had the leading role.

COLLEGES ARE URGED
TO DISCIPLINE STUDENTS
of West Point Says That
Hope of Nation Lies in Res
pect for Law
~ Aaaoniated POM

NEW YORK, Jan. &.-College students
in this country have too much liberty. ac-
cording to Colonel H. L. Scott, command
ant of West Point In an address last
night at the annual dinner of the Alumni
of Brown university, Colonel Scott said:
"The system is based on the German,
largely without regard for the. moral
training of the student. This is going too
far in the direction of liberality. The
German student, as a rule, has had a
military training earlier; there is no such
training here. The freedom of the Ger
man system is for the man whose habits
and character already have been
formed.
The American boy, who has not had
such formative training, should have the
character formed for him and not be left
to his individual caprice. The nation
greatly needs larger leaven of military
discipline, such as West Point gives, to
increase the respect for law and for the
duties of citizenship, and believe the
colleges ought to furnish it."
President Faunce, of the university,
suggested a means of eliminating the
cliques that arise through fraternity life.

and the jury was at once discharged.
They stood ten for acquittal and two
for murder in the second degree.
Only a small crowd besides the court
attaches were present when the jury en-
tered the court room, as 1t had been re-
ported that they were hopelessly hung.
After celebrating on the matter all
night, they stood the same way this
morning, and decided that it would be
impossible for them to agree.
The prisoner, surrounded by his wife
and a dozen kinsmen, was present when
the jury reported, and none of the group
manifested any signs of elation, evident
" being prepared for the action of the
jury.
A motion for bail is being argued.
In his charge to the jury, Judge Jones
instructed that IL 1t was found that
Marshall rode to the rendezvous of the
band, because he was afraid to disobey
the summons of the leaders, he was not
legally excused, as the danger was in
the future and not the present; and, al
