There is much icing said and written concerning
women as principals of schools and colleges There
seems to be considerable uneasiness among the mas
cuine element lest having been given the voting pow
er and trustee power in educational affairs generally,
because it held that women at least had as much
interest in children in the schools in children in the
homes these powers together with agitation have de-
veloped hunger on the part of women for larger
power and enlarged ballot power tits as impossible
to give partial personal liberty and yet declare free
dom it is to grant partial voting powers and pre-
vent the voter from desiring to become the party
voted for The fact that seeking and be-
ing sought by other women to become presidents of
universities is but the development of natural events
in the old line of cause and effect. There are many
men who believe that capable woman is efficient
as president of university capable man. How
ever the balance has been suspended in the national
contest between men and as to the control of
American education and the choice of male successor
to Miss Haszard as president of Wellesley University
is considered as lowering of the scales towards the
masculine side of affairs.

ROOSEVELTS ENTERTAINED BY
 THE NOBILITY OF HUNGARY

throughout Hungary with the independent aspirations of the people of Hungdry, he Is now living quietly, owing to the recent fall of the independent coalition ministry of which he and Count Apponyi were the laders.
 The Austrian government manifests not the slightest disapproval of the visit. Ambassador Hengelmueller accompanied MT. Roosevelt and was present at the in- terview. MT Kossuth told the ex-Pres- ident how in his early life, which he had spent in exile, be had been taught to revere America, where his father had found welcome and refuge. Politics so far as is known was not mentioned. Wherever the former President went, even in the rain, there were crowds to cheer him.
 The ter-parliamentar group hailed him as the champion of public honesty throughout the world and the greatest living statesman.
 To meet Colonel Roosevelt at luncheon Archduke Joseph had several notable Hungarian travellers and hunters, includ- ing Count Khuen von Hedervary, Count Teleky, the discoverer of Lake Rudolf in British East Africa, and Counts Zichy and Szapary, who also have hunted in Africa. Owing to the illness of the Arch duchess no women were present.

 None of the passengers were in- iured.
 Latest news from the wreck states that few of the passengers sustained minor bruises, but none were seriously injured.
 Superintendent Hill and other di- vision officials who have been mak ing an investigation, are convinced the train was deliberately wrecked and 1t is stated that special agents of the company have secured a clue to the guilty parties. The cause of the de- railment was the removal of several first plates at rail joints. The train ran distance of eight rails from the point where the first loosened fish plate was found before it jumped the track. Bolts and nuts bearing all evidence of having been freshly unscrewed were picked up along the track at daylight. A rail wrench and bar was also picked up by the side of the track.

MOBILE WILL GET
 WATERW FUND

Washington, April 1s.-(Special.)- .)-An the Alabama items in the current rivers and harbors bill, as amended by the Sen ate. were passed today, despite the op- position of Senator Burton of Ohio, who made a two-day speech attacking many features of the bill. Many Mobile busi- ness men apparently became worried when MT. Burtons minority report men, toned the Mobile harbor, for they sent messages to the Alabama senators. Mir. Burton said. however, that he was not attacking the project, but the Senate amendment providing that none of the appropriations should be spent for dredges.
 The Alabama senators said today that this provision was inserted because the dredges would take so much time to con- struct and would cost $5O0,00O, whereas the private dredges at work in the nar- bor at present are giving satisfaction.
 The Senate judiciary committee today again failed to confirm the nomination of Warren s. Reese as United States at- torney for the middle district Of Alabama It will hardly take action until the At torney General investigates certain charges made against Reese by his op- ponents

Senator Aldrich Win Retire From Service
 At End Of Present Term

Nelson W. Aldrich was to retire as United States senator from Rhode Island at the expiration of his term in 1911 was con- firmed today by so high an authority as Gen. Charles R. Brayton, republican na- tional committeeman from Rhode Island.
 Under no circumstances will Senator Aldrich be d candidate for the United States Senate again. said General Bray ton. This is an authoritative statement. and is made after due fconsideration by the senator, who will retire to private life somewhat because of i'll health
 This statement followed visit by Gen. eral Brayton to Senator Aldrich at the latters country seat at Warwick Neck last night. Today the senator left for Washington. She senator himself said:
 T cannot discuss this story of my re- ported retirement. If General Brayton says it's so, he knows. Perhaps there may be something given out in Washington" Although the senator remarked, in re- sponse to inquiries. that he was feeling pretty we'll" friends who have seen him say that the improvement in his health from his recent trip to Florida does not appear to have been entirely satisfactory. stomach trouble developed while Senator AIdrich was in the west during last win ter, and it Is evident that the effects of that illness have not worn off,
 Senator Aldrich has held his seat in the Senate since 1881, when one of the argu- ments used against his election by his opponents was the charge that he was too yonug for the duties of that office. He was then not quite 40 years of age.

DENT VICTORIOUS OVER MIR. MANN

Washington, April 1S.--(Special. J. Against no less an opponent than Rep resentative Mann of Illinois, republi- can floor leader, Representative Dent of Alabama was victorious today. He successfully defended his bill to in- vestigate into the surveys of the Ala bama- Florida boundary along the line of Esoambia county, Alabama, and Els cambia county. Florida. Mann had challenged the right of the bill to stay upon the unanimous consent cal lendar.
 When the republican leader an- nounced that he saw no reason why he should not object to considering the bill, thus throwing it back on the cal endar, for majority consideration much later on, MT. Dent rose to answer MT. Mann. A sharp fifteen-minute colloquy left the Alabamian successful and the interior department was instructed to investigate the boundary survey and give Congress any information why or not there should be a re-survey.

ACTION AGAINST
 THE COTTON POOL

Washington, April 1S.-Attorney General Wickersham has taken up the cudgels against the reported pool In raw cotton, which 1t is alleged already has resulted in an increased protection of the staple and a curtailment of the output and the sus- taining loss by mill hands attendant.
 The Attorney General has given instruc- tions to have the matter investigated by the grand jury In the southern district of New York and subpoenas were issued there today which the officials of the de- partment of justice say mark the com mencement of thorough investigation by the government of the alleged pool
 Announcement of the determination to proceed against the pool was coincident with the publication of the dispatches from New York that MT. Wickersham had ordered an inquiry by the special grand Jury as to terms and conditions Of an agreement. William s. Kenyon, assist ant to the Attorney General, in charge of trust prosecutions Tn the department, had n conference with MT. Wickersham at New York in view of the new move made today over the telephone and made the following announcement subsequently:
 "In connection with the discussion over the high price of foods prevailing and other commodities, the attention or the Attorney General has been directed to the alleged existence of certain pools ana combina tions operating corners in various commodities and their effect on interstate commerce. .,
 "Information was laid before him indi- eating the fact that combination had been formed between number of opera tors to buy up all of the remaining unused cotton produced in the United States during the crop year 1909 ana lslo :. mas heen Charged that as the result of the operations of this pool the price of this cotton has already been advanced so largely in excess of the normal price thai the cotton manufacturers had greatly re- duced their output rather than buy at ex- orbitant prices.

Budapest, April 1S.-A heavy rainstorm this afternoon did not interfere with the programme of ex-President Roosevelt which included luncheon at the royal palace as the guest of Archduke Joseph, a reception at the parliament house and a sightseeing tour.
 MT. Roosevelt showed especial interest in the conservation and reforestation work of Hungary.
 A portion of the day was taken up with g. call upon Francis Kossuth, leader of the united opposition, who is i'll, a visit to Washington monument, erected by the Hungarian American Federation, reception to the members of the Amer ican colony at the consulate, and to Hun garian Journalists at the hotel.
 MT. Roosevelt and Kermit were the guests of the Austrian ambassador, Baron Hengelmueller von Hengervar and the Baroness at a dinner at the Park club, where they met the leading represen- tatives of the Hungarian nobility.
 Perhaps the most interesting feature of the day was Colonel Roosevelt's half-hour talk with Francis Kossuth. Although Kossuth's name is still synonymous
