night in the columns of the Harvard
Alumni Bulletin. officials of the
university declined to comment on the
matter, and it was understood that
the bulletins announcement would be
the only thing approaching an official
statement.
The bulletin says editoraily that the
university cannot afford to admit
amy suggestion that it would be Will
ing to accept money to abridge free
speech. to remove professor or to
accept his resignation"
Professor Munsterberg said tonight
that the university had refused to
accept his resignation. That ends
the matter as far as 1 am concerned"
he added.
When asked If he had anything to
say in regard to Major Wiener's let

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 21.--Professor
Hugo Munsterberg has withdrawn his
resignation from the chair of Psy-
chology at Harvard University at the
request of the authorities, according
10 an announcement made tonight.
The resignation was submitted re-
Gently after Prof. Munsterberg had
learned that the university had re-
ceived a communication from Major
Clarence Wiener Of London, threaten
ing to withhold legacy of s1o,0o0,O0o
to Harvard unless Prof. Munsterberg
were dismissed. According to Informal
ton given out regarding Major Wien
er's communication, it said that he
had already provided in his will for
such legacy. and had added can
ceiling clause to take effect II his
wishes regarding Prof. Munsterberg
were disregarded. His objection TO
the head of the university's phycholog-
ical department is based on the lat
ter's pro-German utterances since the

was concluded, the witness reciting
facts tending to show that railroad
bonds were the standard of American
securities abroad and that they were
falling in favor because of increased
cost of operation and taxation which
made the margin of net earning over
net operating expenses too small to
insure their marketability.
Mr.. Straus quoted Sir George Paish,
the English financial export, as au-
thority for his statement that English
investors found American railroad Sc
curities less and less attractive. Mr..
Stratus was followed by Mr.. Chamber
lain, who produced chart showing the
trend of bond prices and credit over
many ytars. This he contended showed
that the credit of the nation, as repre-
sented by its banks, had closely par
alleled the price of railroad bonds up
to 1910. AT that time, he said, the
credit situation had broken away from
the railroad securities, which were in
decline. He explained this by say
ing that other securities. such as pub
lie service corporation and municipal
bonds, had been growing in popularity
largely because of government aid ex-
tended to them.
Counsel for various shippers organ
izations and eeaRsel for the commits
sion took sharp issue with the witness
on the question of the relative attract
iveness to foreign investors OF railway
bonds and the securities of public SER
vice corporations and industrial con-
Germs. Louis Brandeis and Clifford
Thorne drew from Mr.. Chamberlain
admissions that at present the yield
of industrial securities is only l per
cent. higher than that of railway
bonds and of public service securities
half of one per cent. higher. The
YIELD" it was explained, indicated
the rate corporations were compelled
to pay for borrowed money and show
ed the credit of the railroads still to
be better than that of other corpora
tons.
John z. Oldham, an investment
banker of Boston. read a statement he
had prepared after an examination of
the accounts of 10 standard railroads.
This, he said, proved conclusively that
the net earnings of the roads must
be increased if they were to protect
their securities.
