A Coed Hesinnina.

Brown university has made a good beginning in It's task of securing . million dollar addition to its endow- ment, the General Education Board having agreed to contribute $15o,00A all told, toward the amount. Dr, Fan,ice says that other pledges are in hand. and with tho Impetus provided by the boards offer, the movement should so prosperously forward. The college needs this miilion-dollar fund. It is now ten years or more since the two- million addition to it's resources was made, and in that time the cost of living has 50 increased that ths appropriation for faculty salaries ought to be considerably expanded. At pres- ent the Carnegie, fund is unavailable for pension purposes at Brown, and something must therefore be done to make the lot of the professor more ats tractfve.

kidnapping Waldo Rogers, the 3-year-
old grandson of Judge Henry L. Waldo,
the millionaire general solicitor of the
Santa Fe railroad. Joe Virgins, an
ex-convict and alleged accomplice of
Rogers in the kidnapping, pleaded not

Rogers, it is understood, will not be

ransom OF $4,000. VIII Rogers, who is
% years old, is the uncle of the stolen
child The ransom money was recov-
cred intact in the chimney of young

ACCUSES OTHER SIDE.
An Iron Worker Swears the Detectives
Are the Dynamiters.

Pittsburg, Pa, May 19.-James Elliott.
a structural iron worker of this city,
appeared before labor leaders here last
night and made an alleged confession.
in which he charged officers of the Ma
tional Erectors' association and detec-
tives employed by it with wrecking of
buildings throughout the country, con-
structed by nonunion labor.
The alleged confession was made to
William Kelley, president of the Iron
City Trades council; A. L. Collins, Sec
retary of the Structural Iron Workers
union, and H. w. Legleitner, vice presl-
dent of the International Association of
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers. 1t
was sworn to before jury. The labor
leaders then turned Elliott over to the
police, who are holding him for further
investigation.
The affidavit was not given out, but
in his statement to the police Elliott
said he made the confession because he
was not paid for information he fur
nished the erectors' association and for
which he was promised 81 900.

IT MAY GO TOO FAR.
Colonel Roosevelt Desires a Limit
Placed on Arbitration.

New York, May 19.-Former President
Roosevelt has an article on the "Arb1-
tration Treaty With Great Britain in
the Outlook. He says in part:
Between Great Britain and the Uni
ted States it is now safe to have a uni
versal arbitration treaty, because the
experience of 96 years has shown that
the two nations have achieved that
point of civilization where each can be
trusted not to do the other any one
of the offenses which ought to preclude
any respecting nation from appeal
ing to arbitration.
but no language should be used in
the treaty which would tend to obscure
this cardinal fact. this cardinal reason
why the treaty is possible and deSirable

self to arbitrate questions respecting
its honor, independence and integrity.
Either it should be tacitly understood
that the contracting powers no more
agrees to surrender the right of self de-
vital matters than a man in civil life
agree to surrender the right of self de-
fense; or else it should be explicitly
stated that, because of the fact that 1t

independence and integrity of the other,
we are willing to arbitrate all ques-
tions."
Mr. Roosevelt refers to armed bodies
of Mexican troops having fired across
the boundary and killed or wounded
American citizens. and says:
In this case we have chosen to sub
nit to such invasions as is our right
and privilege if we so desire, but it
would be absolutely intolerable to bind
ourselves to arbitrate the questions
raised by such invasions. If, for in
stance, instead of it's being Mexican
troops firing into our inland towns and
killing our citizens, it happened to be
an English or a German or Japa-
nese fleet which, not once but again
and again, fired into our coast towns

I'm the same way, If a dispute arose
between us and another nation as to
whether we should receive enormous
masses of immigrants whom we did not
desire from that nation, no one who
knows anything of the temper OF the
American people would dream that they
would for one moment consent to arb1-
trate the matter"

Verbally Defend Themselves at
the CamOrristS Trial.
HIS WOUND is Barred.
De Angels Shows His Leg to the
Jury.
He Declares the Injury Was Re-
ceiVed in Prison.

Viterbo, Italy, May 19.-The two men
denounced by Giacomo Ascrittore as
the assassins of Gennaro Cuoccolo and
their accuser and verbally defend
themselves at the trial of the Camor-
rists today.
After Enrico Alfano and other alleged
leaders of the Camorra had been ar
rested, they were released on the in
tercession of the priest, Giro Vitozzi,
who said that he had learned of their
innocence while performing his office of
confessor.
1t developed that Giacomo Ascrittore
had charged Tomasso De Angels and
Gaetano Amedeo as the murderers.
These men, though known criminals,
established alibis and Vitozzi and
Ascrittore were arrested charged with
conspiracy against them and also with
an attempt to shield the actual assaS-
sins. De Angels and Amedeo are now
charged with being active members of
the Camorra and Ascrittore as an ac-
complice in the murder of the Cuoccolos
and conspiracy against the other two.
Ascrittore today confirmed his earlier
testimony, repeating the circumstances
which he said, had led him to believe
the men he denounced were guilty. He
declared that at one time De Angels
had shown him dagger saying:
With this Cuoccolo will be served"
The accused denied the alterations
President Bianchi instructed De An
gels to bare his leg and show again to
the jury and to the medical experts the
wound which, according to Ascrittore.
was received from Cuoccolo when the
latter was fighting for his life. De An
gels reiterated that the scar was from
an injury received in prison in 1904, thu
wound having reopened in 1905.

When a Boy Fires Shot That Kills
His Own Father.

Greenwich, Conn, May 1e.-Lester
Husted, II years old, told the authori-
ties that at his fathers request, he
pulled the trigger of a shotgun which
blew the left side of the older mans
head Off
Frederick Hustled, a wealthy farmer
was found in his home with his head
partly blown off and a shotgun lying
on a table The boy said that his
father sent his mother away, called
him into the house and laying the gun
on a table. knelt so that his left eye
was at the muzzle of the gun. Then
he said:
Pull the trigger; it isn't loaded; ]
want to hear how it sounds"
The boy pulled the trigger, the charge
of shot blowing away the left side of
the fathers face and head.
Repeated questions failed to shake
the boys story and the authorities de-
cided that they would have to call it a
case of suicide.
