midst of his men in court and at
recess stands on guard In the cor

accused talk about the case to out

talk about the case except from the
vantage of the witness chair and Ryan

agreement

PARIS, Oct 25.-Ex-President Diaz

told today that his nephew Felix had
not yet been shot and that President
Madero was trying to save him from

OF Mexico prefer Madero, he loves his
country too much not to bow to their
WILL Perhaps he was mistaken"
Then his face clouded again at the
news that his nephew's two lieuten-
ants, Majors Zarate and Cuesta. had
been executed. To reports here thai

Pulitzer School
 Will Bar Girls
Course in Newspaper Work Not Open to Feminine Students

New York, March 16.-The Pulitzer School of Journalism at Columbia University will not be open to femi- nine students. Dr. A. L. Jones, chair man of the Committee of Admissions at Columbia, said yesterday that the administrative and advisory boards of the University have decided that girls are not to be allowed to enter the new school. This, he explained, was done on the general theory that Co., lumbia University is not co-educa- tional. There is no provision in MT. Pulitzer's will to this effect and there is some disappointment in Barnard College over the decision.
 Dr. Jones said that girl students might not even enter the classroom and receive the benefit of the instruc- tion. According to an agreement entered into Jan. 19, 1900, most of the courses in Columbia are open to the students of Barnard and all de- grees are conferred by Columbia. It has been the hope of many that some arrangement might be made to enter girl students in the School of Jour- nalism. Miss Virginia Gildersleeve Dean of Barnard, is in favor of the School of Journalism being open to women, for she finds many anxious to take up newspaper work. She is hop ing that matters may be so arranged that feminine students as we'll as men will be admitted.
