lATIN-A -AMERICO
UNIVERSITIES
Six Established Before
= Countries Became u. S.

! Six universities in Latin American
countries were established before the
! first one in the territory that after
wards became the United States, ae-
eording to a recent bulletin of the
Bureau of Education. The univer-
sites of Mexico and Lima were
founded in 1851; Santo Domingo,
1868; Bogota, 1872; Cordoba, 1913,
and Sucre, 1928.
Just as in colonial New England
the teaching of theology was the ori-
ginal purpose of the universities in
Spanish America The church was
the prime mover in their establish
ment. Civil and canon law were
both taught, but the latter predomi-
mated. There was usually a profess
sorship of medicine in these univer-
stiles, but the most important facil-
ty was that of theology. These
colonial universities were also cleri-
cal in their government; the profess
sors were almost exclusively mem
bers of the priesthood.
Another group of Latin American
universities sprang into existence in
the era of independence, typifying
developing sense of national unity.
Among such are the University of
Buenos Aires (1821), the University
of Trujillo in Peru (1S31), the Uni
versity of Arequipa (1S35), and the
institution at Medellin in Colombia
t1822). In Brazil the university
idea did not at first find favor;
instead Independent professional
schools for medicine and law were
established.
In modern times there has been
remarkable development of higher
education in Spanish-American coun-
tries. There is an unmistakable
tendency in Latin America to in
crease the number of higher educa-
tional institutions" says DR.. E. e.
Brandon, author of the bulletin,
although conditions economic and
otherwise do not always warrant the
new foundations. New centers of
population are jealous to complete
their attractiveness by adding uni
versity to their civic advantages.

Two Young Bandits Hold Up
Train in Alabama.
Line Up Crew, Express Mes
sengers and Mail Clerks.
STEAL FRONT PART OF TRAIN
With RObber at the Throttle
They Drive Away.
Blow Up the Safe and Rifle the
Mail Pouches.

Cottondale. Ala, Sept. 26.-Two mere
boys were the bandits who early this
morning rif1ed the mail car and dyna-
mited the express safe on Alabama
Great Southern train No. Z, near this
place and escaped with booty variously
estimated at from a few hundred to
fifty thousand dollars.
According to the train men, after
stopping the train at Bibbville siding
at 12:30 a. m. by means of a block dan
ger signal, the young bandits with
drawn revolvers forced the engineer,
fireman, express messenger and six
mail clerks to leave their engine and
cars and line up at the side OF the
track
The robbers then compelled one of the
trainmen to detach the engine, express
and mail cars, whereupOn the bandits
boarded the locomotive and with one
robber at the throttle drove the front
part of the train several miles down
the track, where the express safe was
blown to bits with dynamite and the
registered mail pouches rit1ed.
The robbers then threw open the
throttle of the train, leaped to the
ground and escaped with the booty into
the swamps, while the runaway engine
and express and mail cars dashed on
down the track through several towns,
hausted and the runaway train came
to a stop at EnglewOod, Ala.
birmingham, Ala, Sept. 26.-The New
York New Orleans express of the
Queen and Crescent railway was held
up at Bibbville, Ala, at 1880 o'clock
this morning by two masked men, who
boarded the train near Bibbville and
forced the engineer to cut off the two
express cars and proceed with them,
leaving the remainder of the train
standing.
At L o'clock the engine and two cars
passed through Tuscaloosa, Ala, about
fifteen miles from Bibbville, apparently
running wild.
Sheriff Palmer, who had been notified
of the hold-up, attempted to stop the
train, but was unsuccessful. He fired
on the train and one shot was returned.
Securing a switch engine. the sheriff
started in pursuit with a posse. Moth
ing has been heard from him yet. A
special train from Birmingham is be-

Miss Mabel Sturtevant, a Law
yer and an Author,
Is Accused of SwindIing on a
Large Scale.
ON PLEA OF HELPING THEM
She Is Said to Have Collected
Considerable Sums
From Young College Students
at Various Institutions.

Chicago, Sept 26.-Details of the
scheme by which Miss Mabel Sturte-
want, lawyer and author, is charged by
the government with having fieeced CO.
eds and many wealthy Chicago women
out of $1,000 were learned today. Ac-
cording to the postal authorities Miss
Sturtevant obtained $1,000 by means of
loans from women who believed they
were helping poor girls get an educa-
ton, $1,000 from girls who worked for
her selling cook books and postal cards
and $500 which she collected from 16
co-eds of Northwestern university for
their room rent.
She is charged with having collected
the rent in advance. Possession of the
house where the girls took up residence
a few days ago has been taken by the
owner because Miss Sturtevant has
failed to pay the rent and the girls are
stranded without money to meet their
expenses for the coming school year.
Miss Sturaevant, it is said, began
operations early in 1912 by inserting
advertisements in country newspapers
offering summer work for college girls.
This consisted of selling a cook book.
The profit on each book was so cents.
Half of the money earned was to be
placed in a bank in the college town
where lIle girls iHltLutO SOlHS W lANO
and the other half was to be held In
trust by Miss Sturtevant
This trust fund was supposed to be
available to each girl worker on Jan. l.
The money in the bank was supposed
to be used exclusively for college ex-
penses. According to postal inspectors
Miss Sturtevant did not live up to her
agreement except in two instances.
When the girls arrived in their col
Iege town they found themselves
stranded, it is charged. 1t was by use
of the names of girls she sent on the
road that Miss Sturtevant was enabled
to borrow from prominent women in
Chicago. The inspectors found card
index in her office which contained the
names of fifty society women and the
amounts she obtained from each. rang
ing from IS to $240. Miss Sturtevant
solicited these contributions by letter
and telephone calls, stating that the
money was for the purpose of aiding
some poor girl to get a college educa-
ton.
AS an author. Miss Sturtevant is
known by the pen name of June Gen
try She is a graduate of the Uni
versity of Missouri and won the Braun
scholarship in a world competition, the
prize emitting her to a trip around the
world at a cost of $1,000. She is 30
years old. Miss Sturtevart was ar
raigned before United States Commis-
sioner Mason and released under
bonds of $1,000.

EIGHT TOTS CREMATED
Three Story Wooden Building Burns
in Quebec.

Quebec, Sept. 26.-As the result of
midnight blaze which started in
three story wooden building in ST.
Francois street, all indications at an
early hour today pointed to the crena-
ton of eight children of the family of
Ulrich Trudel the proprietor, who. to-
gether with five other families, lived
in the house. The mother and father,
as we'll as the oldest boy, although all
injured We're saved. They are in a hos
pital
A little girl was reported saved by
neighbor but no trace of her has been
found. The eldest boy, Antoine, was
dropped from the third story window
and struck his head on the curbstone
and this, together with the burns
which he received, renders his condition
serious. The mother, who was taken
down a ladder, is terribly burned about
the arms and head. The father was
the least injured of the three, although
he also suffered several painful burns

CorOner's Jury So Leaves
Edna Murder Case.
"StrangulatiOn by Hands I'm
known to the jury"
WAS FATE PREACHERS WIFE
Rev. LittletOn Is Missing and
Whereabouts Unknown.
The Village Is Rife With Cos
sip and Suspicion.

Edna, Sept. 26.-The Edna mystery
has been left a mystery. Strangula-
ton by hands unknown was the ver-
dict of coroner's jury at the second
inquest over the body of Mrs. Little
ton, wife of the missing Methodist
minister, early this morning. The first
inquest held after the body was found
last June said she had committed
suicide. 1t was between 1 and 2
O'Clock in the morning when the jury
reached this verdict. The jury had
been locked in the Odd Fellows hall
and townspeople stood in the shelter
of the wooden awnings across the
street awaiting the outcome. The
angry voices of the jurors could be
heard plainly all the way across the
street, so everybody knew just how
the jury stood. About 1: 80 o'clock a
window in the hall was raised, a head
was stuck out and a stentorian voice
cried:
Hear ye! Hear ye. Come into
court,''
The crowd piled out of the livery
stable and from under the awning and
the verdict was annOunced:
Strangulation by hands unknown"
The jury, 1t was said, stood four for
returning a murder verdict and two
for the unknown hand verdict None
voted for suicide, it is understood
The Rev. Charles b. Littleton, the wild
over, and former minister, still is
missing. Arthur Cranston, county at
torney said he would let the matter
stand just as it is until new evidence
turns up.

HE DIES OF GRIEF
Engineer of Train Wrecked at
Stamford Last June.
Worries Over 1t Until He Finds
Relief i'm Death.

New Haven, Sept 26.-Charles Do
herty, engineer of the second section of
the Springfield express on the New
Haven railway which ran into the first
section at Stamford last June, causing
six deaths, died of heart failure at his
home here early today. He had grieved
constantly over the wreck and this is
believed to have caused his death. He
was 81 years old and leaves a widow
and two small children.
Ever since the accident Doherty
had suffered from nervousness, his
relatives say, and many times had told
them there was constantly recurring
to him the picture of a wreck victim,
a woman whose gray hair was matted
with blood. He was so averSe to be-
ing alone that he frequently kept his
young sons, and years old, up un-
til midnight for company. He had
been working in this city since the
wreck, as a stationary engineer for
local contractor, but had been COM
PEELED to lay off for days at times, be-
cause of his nervous condition.

RUNNING WIDE Open,
Commissioner Waldo Finds Gambling.
Houses i'm Chinatown

New York, Sept. 26.-A police cap
tain, sergeant and patrolman were
summarily suspended shortly after
midnight this morning by Police Com
missioner Waldo when he discovered,
he says, that gam bling houses were
running wide open in Chinatown, part
of the district under their Jurisdiction.
Mr. Waldo's action followed personal
investigation in Chinatown late last
night. Those suspended are Captain
Frank j. Tierney, Sergeant Owen j.
Keegan and Patrolman Louis Gray.
None of the police around Chinatown
seemed to recognize the commissioner.
From the report he made on the po-
lice blotter later it appears that he
made a hurried trip through Pell street
and found several gambling houses
open, the commissioner found Keegan
and Gray in Pell street and ordered
them to report to their station imme-
diately. The suspension followed.

DEADLOCK ON COTTON
Certain the Tariff Will Not Be Passed
This Week.

Washington, Sept. 26.-Another days
work on disputed points between the
senate and house on the Underwood
Simmons bill brought the conferees to-
gether today with the hope that a re-
port might be finished for presentation
to the house tomorrow. The parlia-
mentary rule, which requires such a
report to lay over day, puts the fin
ishing touches on the tariff bill over
to next week.
Disagreement on the time when free
raw wool and the new woolen sched-
l1le shall become effective and differ
ences over the rates on cotton yarns
and cloth, lead and zinc ores were up
today for settlement.
1t was definitely understood that a
complete disagreement would be re-
ported on the much discussed cotton
futures schedule. Making allowances
for the technical maneuvers which al
ways attend the last moments of tar
iff bill. leaders thought the new law
might be signed by President Wilson
about the middle of next week.
Chairman Simmons had a brief con-
ference with President Wilson before
going to the capitol. He said that in an
effort to arrive at an understanding on
zinc lead and a date for the wooden
schedule to go into effect. he had
sought suggestions from the president
The senator declined to reveal what
suggestions the president had made but
indicated that he would lay them be-
fore the conferees.
