merchant. Before she was out OF her
teens she married Arthur Tree Of Lon
don. The Trees separated and in 1901
she married Captain David Beatty,
known as the handsomest officer in the
British navy.
Admiral Beatty won promotion to
the rank of commander for gallant
service with the Nile boats in 1898.
He was made captain for services in
China In 1900 and reached flag rank
at the age of thirty-nine. He was
given the rank of rear admiral in 1910
The social career Of Lady Beatty
has been no less distinguished. In the
highlands they rented magnificent
estate with famous game preserves,
where they came into close touch with
the royal family, which always main
tains neighborly relations with the oc-
cupants of the great estate adjoining
their castle.
The Beattys have a town house at
Regents park, London, and country
estate. Brooksby hall, Leicester. The
yacht Sheelah is a magnificent one.

A Small Fisherman
With Rod and Creel.

Among the youngsters who paraded
at the recent baby carnival at Asbury
Park was one who caused a great deal
of merriment. He is son of one of
the members Of the fishing club of that
city and marched as its mascot. AS
the picture shows. he is fully equipped
to capture anything in the way Of fish
that has the temerity to bite his hook.
Probably If he hooked a big one he
might be a little frightened and look
for some grownup to take it off the
hook. But that is only supposing.
Boys at Asbury Park are used to fish
and fishing, and in all probability the
lad here pictured would quickly pop
the big fellow right into his creel.
Fishing is great sport If the fish bite,
but 1t is rather tiresome when one
waits for hours without even nibble
Little boys. however. should never go
fishing unless accompanied by their
fathers or big brothers.

TREATY IN THE MAKING
American Ideas on Safety at
Sea Set Forth by Senator.

London, Jan. 9.-The work OF the CON-
mittee of revision of the international
Conference on Safety OF Life al Sea, on
which United States Senator !. Hamilton
Lewis has now taken his place as one OF
the American representatives, has been
considerably delayed. and its report Will
not be ready for the full conference until
January IS. at the earliest The delay
has been caused by the very searching
examination the committee on revision is
giving the reports of other committees in
order to eliminate from the proposed
treaty anything that might conflict with
the fundamental laws OF the countries
which the delegates represent.
There are indications that the delegates
or some of the larger ship-owning powers
desire 10 secure a treaty that would be
binding on all the sicnatories aud prevent
them passing any local laws in conflict
with the treaty. Senator Lewis who has
lust arrived with the latest views Of the
administration OF the matter, insists that
the present revision shall be Completed on
the basis OF preliminary treaty. which
shall not be binding until it is ratified by
the United States Senate, and that under

Boston. Jan. 9.-The engineering de-

the Massachusetts Institute Of Tech
nology arc TO he combined as the result
of an agreement reached tonight.
Heads Of both institutions said the plan
for cooperation constituted the most
important movement toward the con-
seryation Of educational forces that the
country has ever known.
BY the agreement the combined de-
partments of mechanical engineering,
electrical engineering. civil and SAM
tary engineering and mining engineer
ing and metalurgy are TO be conducted
in the new buildings Of the institute
now in process Of erection in Cam
bridge. Harvard is 10 discontinue its
schools Of applied science in these de-
partments.
The president Of Technology is TO be
the executive head Of the cooperative
work, and the faculty will consist or
the faculty OF the institute, enlarged
by the addition of Harvard professors
Of the departments involved. Provision
is made than when, IN the future, the
corporation Of Technology selects
president the president Of Harvard is
to sit with the committee on selection.
II was announced that both Harvard
and Technology are TO remain soso-
lutely unaffected in name. organization
and in the title TO property. Technology
is TO furnish the buildings. laboratories
and equipment, together with contriDu-
lions from it's special and general funds,
while Harvard is 10 give some equip
ment and the interest on funds that II
holds for education and research in
these departments.
President Lowell Of Harvard said to-
night. 1.-The plan is favorable 70 both
institutions Both gain thereby.
Which gains the more has not been
/ determined. for the leading motive
with the authors Of the agreement has
| lain in another plane. Both institu-
lions exist for the promotion OF in
struction and research. Each is
means to an end larger than itself, the
/ welfare Of the community as whole,
and that both acting in concert can
further this end better than either
working alone cannot be doubted.
President MacLaurin said: Under
the scheme Of cooperation here pro-
posed il would be possible to MAINTAIN
A much stronger school of applied
science than either institution alone
can furnish. and il would be possible
TO keep that school practically un'
rivalled in America and, indeed, in thf

the Mexican situation in a manner en-
