VASSAR PROFESSOR
DEFENDS GERMANY
Miss butcher Says Fatherland
Is Fighting in Self-Detence
Not a KaiSer's War.

Mics Eva Olive butcher, assistant
rrofessor Of Biblical literature at
Vassar College, and living at $40 st.
Mark's Place, said yesterday she was
surprised at the anti-Germsn point
If view here. Miss butcher returned
IN This country recently after a two
months stay in Berlin. At The Cham
bor IF German -American Commerce she
said: IL,
"Our people seem to have capitu-
leted almost completely to the am
munition OF the British prerss bureau
Consequently they seem to be IN no
mood to grasp the German side OF
the causes of the war. This is war
~ Germany in self-defence. IT Is not
. Kaiser's war nor a war Of othcers
of the German army, II
az was in Berlin during the stir
RING events leading up to the begin
ming of hostilities. The deeiara-
ton of war with France and Russia
caused no unusual excitement. Eng
lands attitude alone gave concern so.
coming into the war, the Germans
put it down as an act OF commerciai
germany knows all about the al,
legged neutrality Of Belgium and OF
the existence Of a pact among the
Belgian, French and British govern
ments. according to which the Eng,
iisb are guaranteed the right to land
an army at Antwerp in case OF war
7 cot this from q high official Of the
German government, who, in a briei
discussion of the war, decl' red that
in the light of these facts Belgium
neutrality was an impossibility."

WILSON TO RUN AGAIN
Vice President Marshall Issues
Statement.

Washington, Sept. 2.-Vice-Presi-
dent Marshall authorised Q statemcnt
here to-day that President Wilson
would be q candidate for reelection.
Secretary Tumulty said the White
House knew nothing Of the statement
and would not comment on 1t.
The Presidents statement was
made in the course Of an authorized
interview on the political situation,
which ended thus:
1.-THE Democratic party will have but
one candidate for President In 1915,
and his name happens to be Woodrow
Wilson. He will have the entire and
unqualified and united support Of his
party. Fairminded Democrats will
recognize that he Is entitled to .
chance for a second term to prove the
utility Of his policies.
Lightning rods already up may as
we'll be taken down and preserved for
future use. Democratic lightning will
not strike a rod In 1915"

SCHOOL CHILDREN STRIKE
Parents Back Them, and
Board Will Retaliate.

Branchville, N. j.. Sept, 2.-Because
of a school children's strike to-day the
stage, hired by the Frankford Board Of
Education to take pupils from the Mat
tison district to Harmony School, ran
empty.
A recent move Of the Board of Edu-
cation TO close the Mattison School and
send all the pupils that formerly at
tended there over to Harmony was re-
sisted by the parents Of the pupils,
who backed them up and went to the
polls in an effort to down the proposal
when it was submitted to vote. The
opponents lost, and the Board Of Edu-
cation assumed a satisfied air. Tho
members, however, failed to foresee
the strike.
In retaliation for the defiance, the
Board of Education will employ a
truant officer, who will go through the
form of recording the absences, notify
the parents and then file complaints if
they continue obdurste. Fourteen pu-
pills are involved.

VANDERBILT BOWS
.TOOTHER CREDITORS
Four New York Men Surrogate
Claims Against Atlantic
Vehicle Company.

Harold S. Vanderbilt and three other
New Workers who are the largest cred
itors of the failed Atlantic Vehicle
Company, of 357 Orator st., Newark,
have subrogated their claims to those
of the general merchandise creditors
and have agreed to take what IS LETT
of the estate of the bankrupt company
after all other creditors have been
paid. .oo
300. and the other three New Workers
and the amount Of their claims are
William Earl Dodge, $37500; Ralph
Sanger, $l8,500, and Leo Sullivan. SlO,-
600. They were stockholders OF the
company, and a question was raised
by the trustees as to their Liability
upon about 100000 worth of unpaid
capital stock.
The amount of the total dividend to
creditors depends upon the disposition
made of the claim of J. P. Morgan &
Co, amounting to $4,000. The Nor
gan company did not enter into the
subrogation agreement. The Morgan
company lent to the Atlantic Vehicle
Company $4,000, and took as security
the assignment of contract with the
Boston Edison Illuminating Company
for the construction of tive auto
trucks.
The subrogation agreement was made
and accepted subject to the payment Of
S79O to Mr.. Vanderbilt, representing a
surplus of the proceeds of the sale of
New York Central bonds which he put
up as security for loan of $4,000
from Gray Widening, New York
brokers. The stock was sold, and the
$3.50, received over and above the loan,
was turned over to the trustees.
The total claims against the Atlantic
Vehicle Company amounted to Sl33,Oll,
including the $104,3O0 Of the four New
York men.

PAPER HANGERS ON
ANNUAL STRIKE
Apartment Houses in All Parts
of City Must Stick to Old
ColO-S for a While.

The annual September strike of the
international Painters and Paper
Hangers Union began yesterday, with
$4,000 men leaving Riverside Drive
residences and Bronx fathouses. The
v6cationist and the fellow who is 60
ing to move around the corner were
hit alike. On past performances, how
ever, the strike will be settled in
plenty of time for the fall renovation.
Most Of the men affected by the
present strike are employed on build
ings that have been standing some
time, as distinguished from their fell
lows, who work principally on new
structures. The whole city is affect
ed, furthest Brooklyn and darkest
Bronx sharing discomfort alike with
METROPOLITAN Manhattan and rural
Richmond and Queens.
The trouble arises from the fact that
an agreement between the union and
the United Painters and General Con-
tractors Association has expired and
the latter refuses to renew on the
terms demanded by the union. More
money and new working conditions are
sought. The strikers spent the day
in stuffy halls after walking away from
their jobs.

COLON And ANCON
HARBORS FOR U. S.
Coded with Other Rights
in Treaty with
Panama.
BATTERY SITE AND
TWO ISLANDS TAKEN
Convention Will Place Republic
In Direct Communication with
Interior for First Time.

Panama. Sept. Am important
treaty by the terms Of which the
United States gains control Of the wa
tiers Of the hsrbors Of Colon and An
con, together with certain other valu-
able rights, was signed here to-day by
William Jennings Price, the American
Minister, and Ernesto T. Lefevre, Pan
aman Secretary Of Foreign Relations.
The new convention has been under
negotiations for the last four years.
Early last year they were broken of
by Panama because II then seemed i'm
possible to bring the two governments
into accord.
The instrument replaces what has
been known as the Davis agreement
Of June 10, 1904, in which the boun-
daries of the Canal Zone were tenta-
lively fixed, with the understanding
that a future formal treaty would nix
the delimitation permanently. 1t also
amplifes the Panama Canal treaty OF
November 10, 1908, under which the
Canal Zone was acquired from Pan
ANA.
Panama. by the provisions OF the
convention, will for the first time be
placed in direct physical connection
with the remainder of the country:
Hitherto the capital has been cut on
by the Canal Zone which those wish
ing to reach other parts Of the repub..
lie had to traverse. A large tract OF
fertile land called "Las Sabanas," or
the Savannahs, was coded to Panama.
In this territory are located many
Of the handsome country estates OF
wealthy Panamans.
The United States acquires absolute
control over all the waters OF Colon
and Ancon harbors and, in addition,
two small islands lying in Ancon
Harbor, which are to be used for OBJ
servation and light stations by the
coast artillery. One of these islands
will be fortified. The site of Battery
Hancock, on the Colon waterfront, Is
given to the United States, as also IS
control of all the piers at the north
entrance of the canal, costing approx
mately $2,5o0,000.
1t is specially stipulated In the
treaty that no railway shall be oullt
across the "Sabanas" without the con-
sent of the United States and that the
United States may retake and occupy
a portion or all of these lands II need:
ed for the protection and defence OF
the canal or its approaches.
The treaty will now be sent to WASH
ington and the Panaman Senate 1or
ratification.

TANGO SURVIVES
TA-TAO'S ATTACKS
Lu-Lu-Fado and Furlana
Fail to Envelop Time
Tried Dances.

II was too hot to fight yesterday,
else the dancing masters Of America
in convention assembled might have
been troubled by international compli-
cations. Louis H. Chalif had his Rus
sian war dance, La Russo; Adolph
Newberger, a Hungarian society dance,
while Miss Alice Martin insisted that
the Partisan Tango must reign over
all.
Late in the afternoon Mr.. Chalf
brought out a neutral element in the
Chinese Ta-Tao. European tsngles
were forgotten in the attempt to mas
ter the devious trick Of pointing the
forefngers straight up in the air while
executing all sorts of elaborate body
movements. If that forefinger falters
from its stern angle the dance is
ruined.
The convention came down to the
end of the second day Of its lessons
at the Hotel Majestic last night, re-
lieved in its mind as to the future of
the old familiar One-Step and Hesita-
ticn. Yes; 1t is certain now they will
be danced this winter. Those who
have been terrified by the rumors that
a whole new set of dances were to be
introduced may renew their devotions
with entire confidence. They have
been standardized some more, how
ever, those old friends. AS is now de-
creed, these are the steps of each:
The Hesitation-Four figures; IL
the side hesitation, ~ the forward
hesitation, 90 the butterfly, (D one
hesitation step and three waltz steps,
then a turn.
The Tango-Four steps; ~ pas
marche, (2) cortes and double cortes,
(3) ell medic luna (half noon, and C4)
el passio. rs
promenade, (2) single arch, (3) skat-
ing step, az turning skating step, lo)
la coquette, (6) double arch, Cd SPIN
ming step, ~ la make. .
The Fox Trot, which is so popular at
first, will not last long, the dancing
masters predict, because 1t is toe, ex-
hausting. The Lu-Lu-Fsdo, Furlana
and Ta-Tao are not for the ballroom,
except for the few who are experts,
Anyway" say the masters, tine
public doesn't want any new dances
lust yet. The people have fought and
bled and died for the Tango and Max
ike; they want chance to dance them
now"

EXPECT A BILLION

Democratic Plan Calls for
$1,2OO,OOO,OOO - President
HesitateS on Pork Bari Bill.
fFrom The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, Sept. 2.-Reports OF
discord in the ranks of the admins
tration forces over the pork barrel"
bill for river and harbor Improvement
reached the Capitol to-day. 1t was as
serted that the President views with
misgivings the action of the Democrat
ic leaders in the Senate in attempting
to force the bill through in the face
Of dwindling customs receipts, and the
passage of a stamp tax measure to
make up the deficiency.
The record of the Democratic admin
istration for appropriations will be
reviewed before the pork
barrel" bill is passed. Republican
Senators have been compiling figures,
and the statement was made to-day by
one Senator that II the river and har-
Dor bill and the merchant marine bill
and other emergency measures pro.
posed ere enacted the expenditures Of
Congress will reach a total of more
than $780, 100000, more than $780,
900, 900 above the highest record here
tcfore established. The ordinary ex-
penditures, it is asserted, will also ex-
coed those Of any preceding Congress,
the increase in aggregate expenditures
not being due TO emergency measures
caused by war conditions.

DEMAND DAMAGES
FOR THIRD DEGREE
Husband and Wife Sue Police
for Accusations of
Robbery.

In a suit which William H. Gordon
and his wife, Mary A. Gordon,
filed in the Supreme Court yesterday
for $4,000 and $4,000 damages, re-
spectively. against Charles o. Nelson
and Nicholas Capobianca, policemen,
and Thomas ]. Carew and Jeremiah
Carew, unusual allegations of police
oppression are made by the plaintiffs.
Because of an unfounded suspicion
that Gordon, who is superintendent
of the apartment house at 1855 Bath
gate av., committed theft, the police
men, it is alleged, marched the hus-
band and wife through the street, made
them remain in their apartment until
told they could leave it.
The apartment of the Carews was
broken into on July 10 and $500 in
cash and some jewelry were stolen
from q safe that was broken open. Cor
don alleges that he was taken to the
fremont av. police station and placed
in a room which was guarded by a
policeman, who was told to use his re-
volver if Gordon attempted to leave.
There Nelson and Capobianca ques-
toned him, Gordon says, and tried
to force him to "come across" as they
termed it, with information about the
robbery. In the mean time Mrs. Gordon
had been detained in another room, and
the policeman told Gordon that his
wife had identified as his a garter that
had been found in the Carew apart
ment, which Gordon says was not true.
For two and half hours the hus-
band and wife were kept at the station
house, and then they were escorted
home by the policemen. In their abb
sence, the Gordons say, their home
had been ransacked by the police for
evidence, and their child had been
questioned and shaken to obtain from
him information that might incrim-
mate his father. Gordon and his VIE
remained in their apartment by orders
of the police for twenty-four hours,
when they received permission. that
they might go and come as they wished
