The new Pulitzer School of Journal
ism at Columbia university is not to
be thrown open to women, It has been
decided. but the reason given Is tho
broader ground OF the university pol
icy that does not admit women to
courses, rather than the narrow prin-
cfple Of feminine unftness for the vo-
cation n question, says the Philadel-
phia Ledger. Some women have bril-
liantly succeeded as newsgatherers; q
certain conscientious persistency unit
cd to the quality Of human sympathy
has enabled them to find their way
where man might prove q mere i'm
patient trespasser. Both In THIS coun-
try and abroad there have been fem
1nine editors who, have neither sought
nor required indulgence because they
were not men. On the whole, the ed
itorial rather than the reportorial ca
pacity seems better adapted to the
womanly natures Of delicate suscep-
Utilities and refinement. But women
have succeeded both as reporters and

Aeronaut Paul Peck Expects TO
Cover Distance With 100 Pounds
Of Postal Matter In Four
Hours.

washington. Postmaster-G General
Hitchcock signed an order providing
for an aeroplane mail service between
Washington and New York, effective
on or about May %.
The Postmaster Generals order re-
quires that the mail shall be carried
by a bona fide sworn carrier and
without expense to the Government.
The route will be known as No.
eO7,O02. The machine will fly pen
nant bearing the words ~. S. Mail"
Mr.. Hitchcock is much interested IN
the carriage Of mail by aeroplane,
contending that the progress made in
the science of aviation encourages the
hope that ultimately regular convey
ance Of postal matters by this means
may be practicable. Such service,
he believes, if found feasible might
be established in many districts where
natural conditions restrict other
modes of rapid transportation.
This particular experiment will be
watched with much interest by postal
experts, as it is understood that an
>effort will be made by the aviator to
carry at least 100 pounds Of mail
without stop and with the quickest
possible dispatch. The fastest mail
trains running between New York and
washington now require at least five
hours to make the trip between the
two cities.
Young Paul Peck, who expects to
make the initial fight, said that he
could see no reason why the distance
should not be covered in four hours.
Really, / think can make It in 8
hours and As minutes" he added.
He will start from New York on the
morning Of the 22d, according to pres
emit plans, and expects to fly up Penn
sylvania avenue and deposit the mail
pouch at the door Of the city post
ofiice at Twelfth street and the ave-
nue. within four hours after leaving
Gotham.
Postmaster-General Hitchcock said
that il the New York-to- w ashington
service is found practicable he will
shortly institute a similar service be-
tween Baltimore and Washington.

also the lungs. proved very active: but
the heart and liver were less 30, and
the kidneys and spleen showed only
slight activity. The radioactive sub
stance seemed to increase with age
and In disease Little effect was
shown from such conditions as social
position. occupation or manner Of liv-
ing. and even locality of living was
nnimportant. Radioactive substances

nected by electric wires and a rubber
tube to a wire lectrometer-with q

AGAIN IN TOMBs
F0LKE {. BRANDT
May Have TO Serve Out Twenty
Years Sentence.
GERARD DECISION REVERSED
The Appellate Division OF the New
York Supreme Court Reserves
the Habeas Corpus
Decision.

merly valet to Mortimer L. Schih, who
was released from Dannemora Prison
on a habeas corpus decision Of Jus
tice Gerard, in the Supreme Court, Is
again in the Tombs and may be re-
turned to prison to serve out the 80
years to which he was sentenced hve
years ago by Justice Rosalsky IN the
Court of General Sessions. In de-
cision the Appellate Division OF the
Supreme Court reversed the decision
OF Justice Gerard liberating the
prisoner, whose case caused much in
terest early this year when ne ap-
piled to Governor Dix for executive
clemency.
If the decision OF the Appellate Di-
vision, which was unanimous, Is ap-
pealed to the Court Of Appeals, as
counsel for Brandt assert it will be,
the former valet probably will remain
at liberty on bail. After the action OF
the Appellate Division, Judge O'Sulli-
van, in the Court Of General Sessions,
issued bench warrant for Brandts
arrest and he was committed to the
Tombs without bail.
The Courts View.
After reviewing the history of the
case, Justice Miller, who wrote the
opinion, said in part:
1--WE have nothing to do with the
sentence except to determine whether
it was in excess Of the courts power.
Burglary in the first degree Is punish
able by Imprisonment for life.
soThe order should be reversed and
the writ dismissed and the prisoner
remanded to the custody OF the de-
PENDANT, the warden of Clinton (Dan-
nemora) Prison"
Brandt was first arrested in 1907.
He had been employed in the home OF
Mortimer Schiff, son of Jacob Schiff,
the banker. Brandt was discharged
and one night went back to the house.
Schiff said that his former servant
broke into the house, concealed him
self in dressing-room, after stealing
some jewelry, and then attacked him.
He Pleaded Guilty.
Schiff gave Brandt money and told
him to go to the formers Office the
next day. Brapdt went. He was ex-
amined by detectives, later arrested,
and for some reason pleaded guilty to
burglary before Judge Rosalsky, who
imposed sentence of 80 years.
Brandt said that he had been de-
ceived into pleading guilty to crime
that he did not commit. He said that
he entered the house with no evil in
tentions and without breaking in.
Later, according to his story, promises
were made to him that if he would
plead guilty and avoid publicity he
would be released after year or two
and given money to set him up in
business in Sweden, his native coun-
try.
Dix Refused Pardon.
AS the years passed Brandt began
tc make efforts for release. He wrote
to many persons. Senator Knute Mel
SON interested himself in the prisoner.
Governor Dix refused a pardon, but
the case had created great deal of
interest and Brandt was finally
brought to this city and taken before
