the active support Of all in the churches.
Every church. he said, is being asked to
contribute 10 this fund, and every one,

doubt wish to give much more and 1t Is
the hope Of the leaders i'm the mission

elapsed the money will be collected.
The superintendent paid particular at

BERLIN. October :, 1910.
Official confirmation has been received
of the remarkable fact that a person
may languish for eight months in a Ger
man Jail. not only without being put on
trial or brought before public court,
but without even being accused of any
punishable offense. The unfortunate per-
son in question is a girl from Austrian
Poland, who came over to work on a
farm near Oldensburg. AS she was in
dustrious and competent, her employer
kept her on as a house servant.
Germany. however has already got
more Poles of her own than she can
manage, and any who enter her terri
tories from outside are legally compelled
to leave them again before December 20
in each year. and are not allowed to
return before February / following.

of Busiest Streets.

VIENNA, October 8, 1910.
In one of the busiest streets OF Prague.
we'll known banker, Herr Edward
Kirscl. was murdered at his office. It Is
quite incomprehensible how the assassins,
for there were evidently more than one,
found it possible in broad daylight. while
hundreds of people were passing the
place, to commit the crime.
The unfortunate victim was killed by
blows on the head and knife thrust In
the throat. Afterward the murderers ap-
propriated various bonds and q consid-
cradle amount of money and then disap-
peared.
The Prague police have offered a reward
for the apprehension Of the naurderers.

Dusty and tired, forty-three officers on

| ITHACA. " Y, October 17-An invi-
tation to Col. Theodore Roosevelt to adj
dress the Cornell students when he visits
this city October "A threatens seri-
Gus split in the faculty and board of
| trustees of the university. The invitation
was extended by DR.. Andrew d. White,
formerly ambassador to Germany and
| first president of Cornell. AS soon as 1T
was announced that the colonel would
visit Ithaca on his tour of inspection of
the abandoned farm region MIR. White
conceived the idea of having him speak
to the students.
Democrats among the trustees and fac
ulty Immediately united in an indignant
protest. They would not hear of Col.
Roosevelt speaking even upon his Afri-
can experiences, because Of what is gen.
orally considered his unseemly political
| activity. As result. it is likely that
the invitation may be withdrawn and the
colonel may not even stop in the city.
Democratic Committee Objects.
The protest has been joined in by the
county democratic committee. 1t is
charged that If Coy. Roosevelt speaks
advantage will be taken of the meeting
to make political capital for Represent
alive John w. Dwight. republican whip"
of the House of Representatives, who is
having hard fight for reelection in
his own district
This. it is pointed out. would manifestly
be unfair, as John A. Dix. democratic
candidate for governor, and Thomas F.
CarmOdy. democratic candidate for attor-
ney general. are both graduates of Cor
nell. and of the student body fully one
half have democratic leanings. That an
address in which there is any hint of poll
tics would be in poor taste just now is
generally conceded. and the protesting
faction has in mind the difficulty with
which the colonel would refrain from
touching upon the state and congressional
situations.
DIR. White is an old friend of Mr.. Roese
welt. He has always been very close to
the colonel, both as President and private
citizen, but it is not thought that he had
anything of the nature of a political adj
dress i'll mind when he asked Mr.. Roose
welt to speak. The invitation merely sug-
gested a ten-minute talk to the students
on the lion hunters arrival here. 1t has
not been accepted as yet.
Will Be Guest of Dean Bailey.
Mr. Roosevelt had planned to stay at
the home of Dean Liberty Hyde Bailey
while In the CITY,, Dean Bailey. who is
at the head Of the Cornell College Of Ag-
riculture. was appointed a member of
the country life commission by Mr..
Roosevelt when President. He has al
ways been on very friendly terms with
Mr.. Roosevelt, irrespective of political
affiliations.
Representative Dwight has nothing to
say regarding the protest. He processes
To be little Interested. but is known to
think that there will be no difficulty in ar
ranging the meeting If the colonel agrees. |
However, if the plan for the meeting is
carried out now 1t will be taken as a |

by the university officers. Several Of the |
most prominent trustees are democrats
and reported to be heartily in sympathy
with the protest.
