PRINCETON NEEDS FUNDS.
The University Handicapped by Lack
OF Enough Ready Money.

Princeton, n. j., Jan. 1.-THE growth
of Princeton University is being impeded
by an annual deficit of between $50, 900
and $4,000 in the running expenses of
the institution, according TO a report
which viii be presented to the trustees
tomorrow by President John Grier Hib-
ben.
This lack of funds the report says,
lis also working harm on the efficiency
of the faculty because some of the more
prominent professors are being drawn
away from Princeton through larger Of
fers of salary"
In asking for definite provision for
professional salaries based upon a lib
eral minimum with a graded scale for
increasing remuneration TO an adequate
maximum" he said: "of our present sal
airy list 70 per cent of the full professors
If the faculty receive a salary of $500
or less. We have not been able to keep
pace in this direction with our rival uni
yersities because of our deficit.
I'VE have no state funds on which we
can depend. and there is no city to whose
citizens we can appeal for assistance. 1t
Is natural therefore that we should turn

DECLARES WAR ON new
YORK GANG FIGHTS,

New York, Jan. n.-Mayor John Purroy
Mitchell declared war today on the or
ganized gangs of the city and caused
emphatic orders to be given the police
that these bands of drug fiends. muir
derers and thieves must be broken up
AS a means to this end the order issued
by Mayor Gaynor, which had been con-
strued by the police to forbid the uni
formed force to use their clubs or revolt
vers in combating the gangsters, has
been rescinded by consent.
The killing last night of Frederick
Straus. a prominent German citizen, by
bullets that flew in a street fight between
rival East Side gangs. prompted the
mayors action. After he had made his
position plain, Police Commissioner Doug
las Mckay started the crusade by order
ing a roundup of gang leaders. A score
or more had been brought to police head
quarters by night and the scouts OF the
departmen continued to search the
haunts of the underworld for others.
Gang outrages, gang street fights and
gang killings have been frequent in the
last few years and the police have laid
their inability to cope with the evil to
the anti-clubbing orders in force. Pc
lice officials recall that the old-time
New York gang used its fists for the

The Inspectors Disguise.

Some days ago, about o'clock in
the afternoon the principal police in
spector of the Second district was
called to an affair as delicate as 1t
was urgent.
He quickly made up his disguise.
Fer his bourgeois melon hat, he sub
stituted a cap, the classic cap of the
Apache. He then jumped into an au-
to.
He was not recognizable, or rather
he would not have been if the honor
able inspector had not retained upon
his breast the red ribbon of the le-
gion of honor, ribbon that he had
heroically won at Shoisy- le-Roi under
tragic circumstances that no one has
forgotten.
And the malefactors in the midst
of whom this disguised officer insin-
uated himself could not refrain from
laughing and are laughing yet at this
man clothed like one of them and dec

THE CARDINALS
Reject APPEAL.
The Duchess De Talleyrand's,
Formerly Anna Gould, APP
peal from Verdict Annul-
ling Marriage to First Hus-
band Rejected by Tribunal.

Rome, Jan. 1.-THE rejection by the
Segnatura Tribunal of tMe Roman
Cura of the appeal of the Duchess De
Talleyrand, formerly Anna Gould,
from the verdict of the Rota Tribunal
annulling her marriage to Count Boni
De Castellane, has been the subject of
discussion in many quarters. The
Pope when informed of the decision
and of the possible bad impression 1t
might produce In the United States,
is reported to have said that although
it was to be regretted that the de-
cision of the Rota Tribunal should
produce such an impression. 1t was
a matter which could not be helped,
as ecclesiastical tribunals rendered
their verdict on the merits of the
case, Independently of the moral ef-
feet it might have and without respect
to persons.
The cardinals composing the Seq
natura Tribunal, or high court of the
Roman Cura, met Saturday and re-
jected the appeal of the Duchess de
Taleyrand formerly Anna Gould or
New York; from the verdict Of the
Rota Tribunal, annulling her marriage
to her first husband, Count Boni de
Castellane. The case will, however,
come up again for trial before the
Rota Tribunal.
All the cardinals of the tribunal ex-
cept Cardinal Martinelli, who was Ill,
gathered at the Vatican under the
presidency of Cardinal Vincenzo Van
nutelli. to hear the duchess appeal.
Cardinal Pietro Gasparri was entrusted
with the drafting of the report on the
case of which he gave summary 70
the tribunal He afterward formulated
an opinion on the points of law and sug-
gested the rejection of the appeal.
Cardinal Basiiio Pompil, vicar general
of the Pope, having raised some objec-
tons concerning the actual reason why
the Duchess de Talleyrand had not re-
ceived the citation, Cardinal Gasparri ex-
planned that the archbishopric of Paris
had sent it in registered letter, requir-
ing a receipt. to the Duchess de Talley-
rand's address. The janitor there had
refused to take the letter, saying the
duchess was at her country seat. The
letter was forwarded there. but the OUCH
ess herself refused to receive it, and re-
turned it TO the post office so that 1t
might be sent back to the person who
had forwarded it.
The Duchess de Talleyrand, when ques-
toned on the subject, explained that she
never accepted registered letters from
unknown persons, as they generally con-
tanned begging appeals.
A point on which Cardinal Gasparri
based his argument for the rejection was
that she, Immediately after the Rota
Tribunal had given its judgment annull-
ing the marriage. had started. as permit
ted by the law, suit for new trial
before the Rota Tribunal. thereby i'm
plicitly admitting knowledge and accept
ance of the first procedure. 1t was only
later on, at the suggestion of her law
yers. the cardinal pointed out, that she
pleaded ignorance In attempting to have
the judgment annulied.

flict of opinion as to the advfsability
of q strike was displayed at the mass
meeting here today. The meeting be-
gan in the Alhambra theatre, but was
adjourned to Parade square, owing to
the inadequacy of the theatres ac-
commodations. The younger men fav-
ored the strike, but the predominance
of feeling waA against it, and it was
found impossible to carry a resolution.
The presiding officer declared the
meeting closed; whereupon it resolv-
ed itself into a laborite meeting and
adopted a resolution demanding that
the strike leaders be set at liberty
that the defence forces be disbanded
and that the policy of railway re-
trenehment be changed. The authori-
ties regard the meeting as encouraging
because all the responsible railway
traders were opposed to general
strike and deprecated anything in the
nature of syndicateism or revolution

SCOTT A CLEVER pEcEIvER.
Even Son Didn't Know Who Wrote
Waveriey Novels.

A Scotch newspaper having referred
to the old story that Walter Scott, son
OF the great novelist, had never read
his fathers novels, the Dunfermline
Court Journal reprints letter that
first appeared in its columns on Sept.
II, 1859. 1t was signed ''Veritas," and
the writer says: From 1910 to 1888 ]
resided in Edinburgh, and was on init
mate terms with Walter Scott Sit
ting together one winter evening, sew
eral years before his father made the
famous declaration at the theatrical
fund dinner held in the assembly
rooms of Edinburgh, that he was the
author of the Waverley novels, / put
the following questions to my friend:
DO you not really and truly believe
your father to be the author of the
Waverely novels, or who do you sup
pose the author to be?'
His answer was: I have really nc
idea who the author is; If my father
is the author he keeps the secret to
himself, for none of the family knows
And then he added: The moment
new novel tby the author of 'Waver-
ley") is announced. my father orders
a copy from his bookseller, and the
whole family assemblies in the parlor
in the evening to hear the novel read
by myself and my sisters, each taking
their turn
"He further added: When anything
very droll or funny occurs in the read
ing of the novel my father joins most
heartily in the laugh, perhaps more SO

old sermons. Wesley, for instance,
travelled $500 miles a year until he

three and occasionally four times
day. With Whitefield particularly the
sermon gained by Repetition. Thus
