ist Leader, Arrives
at Belfast
HE WAS GREETED
BY A BIG CROWD
His Supporters Were in a
Feverish Time All
Night

Belfast, Ireland, March 20.--Sir Ed
ward Carson, leader Of the Unionists Of
Ulster, made dramatic entry into the
capital Of the province to-day, coming
here to consult the other leaders and
with the commanders of the Ulster vol
unteer forces.
Before landing this morning, Sir Ed
ward Carson received on board the
steamer on which he had made the pass
age from England Sir George Richard
son. retired lieutenant general of the
British army, who is commander -in-chief
of the Ulster Unionist forces and chief
officers.
As Sir Edward came down the gang
plank, big crowd gave him noisy
welcome. During the night automobiles
were kept busy moving stores and docu-
ments from the Unionist headquarters,
apparently fearing a raid by the police,
who had been keeping close watch on
every move made by the Unionists.
Grave Events Impending.
London, March 20.-Grave events are
impending in Ulster, according to the
Unionist newspapers, and a rumor is
current that the government is prepar-
ing for the military occupancy of the
province. There are various indications
that a crisis has been reached.
A vote OF censTe on the British gov
ernment which was moved in the House
of Commons yesterday by Andrew Bonar
Law, leader Of the opposition, was re-
iected 345 to 252
Arthur J. Balfou. summoned by Mr..
Ronar Law, made hurried return from
the Riviera and arrived in London in
time to participate in the division.
There were reports also of the threat
ened arrest OF Sir Edward Carson and
other leaders OF the Ulster Unionists,
but it was officially declared that there
was no truth in the statement that war
rants had been signed for such arrest
Sir Edward Carson, however, made
dramatic exit from the House before
the debate was concluded, to catch
train for Belfast
Austen Chamberlain declared last
night that Sir Edward had been called
away in response to sudden develop
ments in Ireland.
Other Tni0nists asserted that the I'll
ster men cam no longer be restrafed
from an outbreak and that Sir Edwards
mission is to endeavor to hold them in
check.

George Benjamin, whose name was al
ready on the court rolls. Benjamin said
he started from Lisbon, N. H., yesterday

bitterly of what he claimed is "the sys-

sence of the respondents attorney, it

NORWICH WAS DEFENDED.
Pres. Spooner and F. B. Thomas Opposed
Carnegie Report.

Carnegie Report
A defense of Norwich university
against the report of the Carnegie Foun-
dation investigators was made before
the Vermont state educational commits
sion at Montpelier to-day by President
G. n. .Spooner of the university, and f.
b. Thomas of Montpelier. Four mem
bers of the commission, Judge Watson.
State Auditor Graham, Eli Porter OF
Wilmington and James B. Estee OF Mont
pelier, were present.
President Spooner characterized the
report on Norwich as unfair" and he
refuted the intimation that Norwich is
an institution for correction. He said
the college is not a reformatory. He
pointed out the details of the engineer
ing course and spoke of the work of the
graduates. He said he favored free
scholarships and had had no fault to
find with the present system of distribu
ton. He denied there is poorer living
in Northield than elsewhere, asserting
that Northiield women are just as good
cooks as can be found. lie declared the
report was ISLAM" at Norwich.
President Spooner also referred to two
men engaged as investigators by the
Carnegie Foundation who investigated
Vermont educational condition. He was
inclined to wonder how they could be
classed as experts since one had had
no practical experience. He also inti
mated that one of the men was praeti
cally out of job when he secured his
present work.
+. Il. Thomas declared that Norwich
was Judged by the investigators by its
buildings rather than by the work which
it was performing and had been per
forming. He supplemented the asser-
tions of President Spooner in making a
vigorous defense of the institution.
