WILL UNIVERSITY

Fayetteville Alumni Members Re-
ceiye Letters Intimating Prob
ability OF New Official.

Fayetteville, April 2i-The re-
cent student uprising at the uni
versity has brought out the ques-
ton of retirement of some MEM
bers of the faculty. II is also a
Question Of interest as to whether
the recent troubles will have a
bearing upon the election of
| a president for the university when
| the board meets in regular session
in June. Very little seems to be
known as to the plan of the Board
| of Trustees. A few weeks ago when
| the student strike was settled the
board members promised the stu
dents that they would conduct an
Investigation in the near future and
go into matters at the university
thoroughly. The investigation has
mot been started, and nothing def
mite seems to be known by the stu
dent leaders as to when the board
| will enter upon This work
Since the settlement Of the stu
dent strike letters have been adj
dressed TO members Of the alumni
Of the university. written, so it
seems. under the impression that
the board is contemplating some
action toward securing another
president These letters come from
an alumnuS of the university, and
urge the alumni to communicate
with the Board of Trustees and in
dicate the character of a man they
want elected to the presidency.
Whether the Board of Trustees
contemplate making a change is not
known. Judge Tillman seems to
feel that he has no intention of re-
signing. He regards the report
that he Will not be retained as being
wholly unauthorized, and says the
report is gotten out in an effort TO
create an impression that such ac-
tion Will be taken in June, and can
be traced 10 a somewhat unsaVOry
conspiracy of one or two individu-
ais, whose aspirations Will not be
furihered by The employment of
such menas. Judge Tillman Will
talk little about the matter at pres
ent.
There is much speculation as to
What action the board will take in
June should a change in admins
tratiOn be taken. 1t is suggested
that in ease they should make a
change or that Judge Tilman
should retire, that the board would
probably elect a present member
of The faculty temporarily until the
time could he allowed for thorough
consideration Of man for the po-

FOREIGN CRUISERS
TO MEXICAN COAST
France, England, Germany and
Japan Will Protect Citizens-Eng-
land Has Landed Marines-Take
No Chances With the Rebels.

Washington. April 27.-As dl-
rect result of decision reached by
President Taft at a midnight meet
ing of his cabinet on Tuesday not
to send warship to protect Amefi-
cans and other foreign citizens in
Mexico, but to send a transport in
stead, the British, French and Ger
man governments are rushing
cruisers to both the Atlantic and
the Pacific coasts of that country,
having been permitted by the
American government to secure
vested rights on the west coast of
Mexico. Japan will also send war
ships to protect them.
The state department today adj
mitted knowledge of this movement
of ships. The bureau of naval in
telligence stated that the British
warships on the way to the west
coast are the Shearwater. Algerine
and Rainbow.
Without even waiting for the
murder of a single British subject,
the Shearwater, during the Madero
revolution, landed marines in Sinao-
loa, the scene of the present dis
turbance. where the English gov
eminent heard that the property of
the English company was in dan
ger.
II has been pointed out by Presi-
dent Taft that any form of inter-
vention would be followed by a
slaughter of the Americans and
'other foreign citizens. England,

Bridge Points-Don,, Overbid

If, you overbid your band, you can
Score nothing-not even the tricks
that you take. If you bid three
hearts and take two hearts-that is,
eight tricks-you have failed in your
contract and can score nothing, and
the opposition scores so for the trick
that you bid and failed to take Ii
they have doubled you, they get 100: :
If YOU have redoubled, they get 200.
Fifty or 100 or 200 for each trick for
which you contracted and failed to
take, And you can score nothing ex-
cept for any honors you may chance
to hold.
Doubling stops at redoubling-that
is, each side is allowed one double and
no more. And there can be no bonus
when there has been no doubling.
Never forget that auction is an Of
fensive, not a defensive. game. BY
this do not mean that you should al
ways try to capture the bid and play
the hand. This is the most rudimen-
tary of errors, and players of that de-
soription resemble nothing so much as
quartet of silly children quarreling
for the possession of a ball. But do
mean that the timid and hesitating
player. the one who is afraid to take
long chances. at critical moment, is
the one who is left far behind the
procession. II is necessary to fight
every minute of the time.
