SUIT FOR BIG IRON MINE
LEADS TO NEW CHARGES
Orinoco Corporation of Caracas Al,
legged to Have Withheld Docus
ments Showing Title

CARACAS, June 29.-The case of the
Orinoco corporation and the Venezue-
Ian government, which, according to
the arbitration protocol of last Febru-
airy is to be settled directly between
the parties concerned, has entered
upon sensational developments.
After a heated newspaper campaign
Nicomede Zuolaga and Pedro Uztaris,
claimants to the Imatataca iron mine
in opposition to the corporation, have
brought suit for criminal libel against
Rudolph Dodge, the representative here
Of the corporation, charging him with
having purposely retained certain doc
uments signed by George Turnbull I'M
til Turnbull was out of the country,
and then giving them publicity. Turn
bull left Caracas on June IA.
These papers are said to show that
the alleged titles of Messrs. Zuolaga
and Uztaris to the Imatataca mine are
not valid Zuolaga and Uztaris re-
serve the right in their complaint to
bring action against John Brewer, the
American consular agent here, and any
other persons implicated with Mr..
Dodge.
The Venezuelan cabinet two days
ago approved the draft of a new con-
cession giving the Orinoco corporation
the right to work large tracts of min
eral land, including the Imatataca iron
mine.

YALE PLANS TO
GIVE UP GREEK
DEAD LANGUAGE NOT WORTH
STUDY, SAYS HADLEY
CLIFFORD PlNcHoT PREsIDEs AT
ALUMNI MEETING
Mrs. Morris Jessup and Cornelius
Vanderbilt Each Give Large Sums
for Professorship and
Memorial
Try Associated Prsss.l

NEW HAVEN, Conn, June co.
President Hadley presented his report
at the meeting of the alumni in Alumni
hall today at Yale. Clifford Pinchot,
'89, presided.
The report discusses the diminution
in the study of Greek and its effect;
the possibility of combining modern
culture studies with the old-fashioned
requirements of hard work; the con-
siderations which should govern the
choice of professors and the possibility
of introducing honor courses like those
of oxford or Cambridge into the
American college.
President Hadley said that many Of
the strongest men in England and the
United States have decided that the
study of Greek takes more time than
it is worth. Continuing he said In
part:
"In trying to get more practical re-
suits in the way of knowledge or Gull
ture a great many American college
boys have lost the training which
Greek would have given them and
gained nothing of equal value in its
place.
but colleges cannot teach a thing
to a public which does not want to
study it, and we must recognize the
fact that an increasing part of the
American public does not care to have
it's sons give the time necessary for
the effective use of the Greek Ian
guage as a means of competition and
discipline. This makes academic prob
lens difficult"
Among Large Donations
Among the recent gifts of special inn
portance not previously announced are
100000 from Mrs. Morris K Jessup for
the endowment of a professorship In
culture in memory of her husband, and
$4,000 from an anonymous friend of
the art school in memory of the late
Richard S. Fellows of the class OF
1882.
During the alumni meeting it was
announced that Cornelius Vanderbilt.
class of '95, had made a gift of $4,000
as the nucleus of a fund as a memorial
of the services of Dean Henry P.
Wright, who retires from the academic
department with this commencement.
Two tablets placed in the vestibule of
memorial hall were unveiled today.
One was in memory of Hiram Bing-
nam, 1857 missionary to Micronesia,
1908, navigator Bible translator, and
Charles Harding, 1856, missionary tt
