FOR NATIONAL UNIVERSITY.
Mr.. Fess' Bill Would Maintain High
Institution Here.

A national university. to be established
in this city, is outlined in a bill intro
duced today by Representative Fess of
Ohio. The purpose of the institution
would be to promote science and the
liberal and fine arts by original investiga-
ton and research, to train men and
women for posts of responsibility in the
service of the states and the nation. and
also to cooperate with the scientific de-
partments Of the government and univer-
stiles throughout the country.
Representative Fess idea is to main
tain the national university at govern
ment expense as a graduate institution.
The ultimate authority of the university
would be vested in a board of trustees
appointed by the President Of the United
states, and the board would consult with
an advisory council composed of one
representative from each state. The bill
carries an additional appropriation of
500, 900.

CARL BROWNE IS DEAD
Lieutenant in Famous Coxey
Army" Stricken While on
Street Here.

Carl Browne, son-in-law of Gen. Jacob
Coxey and a lieutenant in the famous
Coxey's army" was stricken while on
the street this afternoon and died few
minutes later at the Emergency Hospital.
He was one of those who marched here
from Massillon, Ohio.
Carl Browne came to Washington from
California several months ago seeking
permission to speak from the Capitol
steps. which he was prevented from do
ing when Coxey's army was here, and
also seeking patent on an airship he
designed. 1t was only recently that per-
mission to speak was granted him by
Vice President Marshall and Speaker
Clark He had during his stay here been
issuing quite regularly small paper
which he got up entirely by hand. having
it autographed. He illustrated it by
pictures drawn by himself and printed
by hand his editorials and news"
Experimental With octoplane.
One of Brownies ventures into the lime
light came several months ago in con-
nection with his queer octoplane flying
machine, which he invented and brought
to Washington. Representative Kent of
California, who has a large inclosed yard
attached to his home, at 1925 j. street
northwest, gave Browne permission to
experiment with the machine there. He
made several trial flights but they
could hardly be called successful.
Browne had seized many opportunities
in Washington recently to make spe ches
regarding his efforts to speak from the
Capitol steps. He has gone before a
number oil socialist and labor or an.za-
tons to talk on the subject. always
claiming that the police were suppressing
the right Of free speech.
Friends of Browne planned to give him
a benefit at the Old Masonic Temple
Sunday afternoon. Tickets for this bene-
fit have been sold forpthe last week. 1t
was announced that at this meeting he
would repeat his Suppressed speech"
Browne also established a new church.
which he called First Church of Appeal

Christ did" as he announced in his news
paper.
He made frequent speeches on the
streets and was a familiar figure about
Washington. Since winter began he has
worn a wide felt hat with dropping
brim and fur-collared coat.
1t was Brownies claim that it was due
to his strategy that Gen. Coxey was
enabled to make his speech after his
famous march from Ohio. Browne de-
clared that by leading portion of the
army in another direction he attracted
the attention of the police from his

SERUM RESULTS ON GOATS.
Experiments Show Increased and
Richer Milk Supply From Injections.

ITHACA, N. Y, January 16.-Experi-
ments made on goats in the college of
medicine at Cornell University may
eventually lead to an increase in the
supply and thereby reduce the price of
milk. According to r. P. Hill, gradu-
ate student at Cornell, goat has been
made to give milk of twice the guam
tity and five times richer in cream
through the injection of a recently dis
covered serum under the skin or into
a large blood vessel of the animal.
Whether the same process will give
equally gratifying results when applied
to cows has yet to be determined, but
the investigators are hopeful.
The serum is a preparation made from
the pituitary g.and of live stock. 1t
has been found that injections have to
be made frequently in order to keep up
the increased production. 1t is but a
short time after the injection that the
increase is noted.
