HOPE FOR COMET YET
So Says Jacoby, Giving Up At.
tempt to See Moon Eclipsed.

Harold Jacoby. Rutherfurd professor of
astronomy at Columbia University, has by
no means lost hope that New Workers will
have an opportunity of getting a good look
at the comet, or, at least, the filmy tail.
which is or should be, visible near the
western horizon every evening after sum
set. Of course. the rain and mist which
prevailed last night made it impossible to
see anything and even the eclipse Of the
moon passed unperCeived, in this part of
the country at least
Il have made a calculation which shows
hat She theoretical brilliancy of the comet s
tail should be the same on May IS as 1t
was on May S. l myself saw the comet on
May S. at Cos Cob. OF course, the at
mosphere is somewhat clearer there. but
the sight was a brilliant one, and If the
comet lives up to expectations it will well
repay those who keep a watch for it, SAID
Professor Jacoby last night.
Surely we will not have cloudy weather
all the week. The diagram by Professor
Russell published in Sundays Tribune
shows that the comet should be visible
above the western horizon until May 81.
and if il is as bright as theoretically it
should be a splendid sight is in store for
those who will take the trouble to keep
to be visible UP to Il o'clock, or even TO
midnight.
''Of course, it is Just possible that the
tail Of the comet was shattered by contact
with the earth. but some part of II should
be seen during the remainder of the week
The mist made it impossible to observe
the total eclipse of the moon, wh1ch
took place about midnight The moon en-
tered the shadow at 1O:46 p. m.- and the total
eclipse began at minutes past midnlg ht
and ended at 1 o'clock this morning. Thus
the moon was totally eclipsed for flfty-one
minutes It passed out of the shadow at
2:22 a. m. While total eclipse OF the moon
is always regarded as interesting to as
tronomers there were no special features
about the phenom enon last night and early
to-day.
Topeka. Kan, May 23.-Eight photographs
Of the moon in eclipse were taken tonight
at the Washburn College Observatory
Conditions were unusually good for seeing
both the eclipse and Halley's comet While
the moon was in the earth's shadow the
comet was plainly visible in the western
sky Its tail was distinct, extending up-
ward and to the south.

HAVE WYMAN WILL TEXT
No Controversy Likely Over Big
BeuueSt to Princeton.
FBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Princeton, n. J.. May 23.-Copies of the
will of Isaac C. wyman. bequeathing the
greater part of his estate 10 Princeton UNI
versity for the use of the graduate college.
were sent to- President Woodrow Wilson
and other university officials to-day
President wilson's only comment was to
EXPRESS his sincere qualification and ito
echo the general satisfaction that Prince
ton University should have the benefit of
so princeIy a gift
Andrew c. Imbrie, '95, financial secretary
OF the board of trustees. had this to say:
while the amount OF the bequest is not
definitely known at the present time. IL is
undoubtedly the largest single benefaction
that has ever come to the university. The
friends of Princeton everywhere will re-
ioice at the prospect of a greater develop
ment which Mr. Wyman's generosity offers
to the university"
II Is generally believed that there will be
no controversy over the gift, but rather
that II will be the means of solving many
difficult questions, as 1t will place the
graduate school on solid basis financially
and make possible a larger and more COM
plete university expansion The question is
still being asked, however, as to how the
will will be interpreted
The position taken by some at the time
of the Proctor matter was that none of the
university trustees should accept a gift in
which his hands would be bound by stipu-
lations which might not be entirely ac-
ceptable to all those affected.
Whether any Objectionable features will
be found In Mr. Wyman's bequest is a mat
ter of conjecture. but the general belief Is
~.
strife. II Is held by some. however, that
two interpretations of the bequest are pos
sibIe
They say there is some question whether
it was Mr.. Wyman's intention that the
trustees of the will should have complete
control of the manner in which the money
should be spent. The will says:
My said trustees are to use, expend and
pay over from time to time. as my estate
shall be in condition to do so. in the course
of a prudent and wise administration of
the same, the whole of said bequest and
devise of my estate remaining for such
uses and purposes as are now or may here
after be determined upon by the trustees
of Princeton University, in enlarglng and
extending the power, usefulness and higher
service and scholarship of said university
through and by said graduate college.
On the other hand. it is asserted that the
trustees of the will are. as matter of
fact. to have control of the manner in
which the bequest shall be used. on account
i of the following quotation from the will:
To this matter have given much thought,
and in carrying out my purpose my said
trustees are given full power and authority
10 use and apply the whole or any part
or parts of this bequest Gin my name, IL
they deem best, so the same shall take the
