The TresvenliSi, Russian sect that breaches
nothing but temperance, drew UP great peti-
tlon. which, after ten weeks Of the war and
of enforced sobriety. was presented to the Gar,
a petition for the prohibition OF vodka forever.
It seemed preposterous to ask the Car for
complete prohibition in the face Of Russia's tre-
mendous war debts. The CZar had promised
that no more vodka should be sold until the end
of the war, and that promise had been greeted
with great satisfaction. But the impossible

A Jovian Figure of a Man

n JUNLaH ClBuIB OF NAN
Physically the Grand Duke is a command
ing figure. He stands feet 5 inches in
height and is msgnihcently proportioned Not
only that, but artists attribute to him the
possession Of perfect facial features.
The Grand Duke has achieved his great
ness in the face of tremendous obstacles. His
physical attractiveness and his mental ca
pacity made him an object Of envy to the
rest of the royal family Alexander ILL., then
the Car, could not abide the sight OF this
youthful Jove, his cousin, when he con-
trasted him with his own puny dull-eyed
sons. The kingly bearing of the Grand Duke
was the more pronounced as he grew into
young manhood, when statesmen and peas
ants instinctively bowed before his regal
bearing.
Alexander III hampered the progress of
Nicholas and limited his activities to the
cavalry, and 1t did not make him feel any
better when the Grand Duke made his cav
airy force the best In Europe. 1t was not
until the present w6r broke out that the
Grand Duke had his chance Authorities
differ concerning the means by which he
secured command. It is pretty we'll under
stood that Gar Nicholas himself wished to
lead his troops as supreme commander.
Whether he was forced by the situation to
oHer the post 10 Grand Duke Nicholas or
whether, as is stated in some quarters, the
Grand Duke arbitrarily took command him
self, is not clear. At any rate, 1t is known
that the Grand Duke at once issued mani
festoes on his own authority to both the
Jews and the Poles which the Car was com

COLUMBIA COUNCIL
TAKES IN TEACHERS
Trustees Solve Problem That
Threatened Break.

The breach between Columbia Uni
versity and Teachers College, which
II was feared at one time would result
in the complete separation of the two
institutions, was healed yesterday by
the announcement of the university
trustees that henceforth delegates TO
the university council will be selected
from the faculty of practical arts OF
Teachers College.
Hitherto the faculty Of the college
has had no voice in the council. which
is the supreme authority on the educa-
tional policies of the university. BY
the agreement made Yesterday Teach
ers College will be entirely independ-
ent of the university, deriving its in
come solely from its own courses and
its own requests.
In educational policies, however. the
college will come under the direction
of President Butler, and the final poll
cies Of the institution will be decided
by the university council, in which the
faculty of Teachers College will have
a voice. DR.. Butler will be the execu-
tive head of the college and Dean
James F.. Russell will have control
over the inner workings Of the insti-
tuition.
Among the requests announced at
yesterdays meeting are seven trust
funds of s250,000 each, left TO the uni
versity under the will of Amos +.
Enos, a gift Of $4,000 to the endow-
ment of Sloane Maternity Hospital by
William Douglas Sloane's executors
and an anonymous endowment of $3.50

Several reasons are alleged in asking
for separation in the suit filed yes

Madison Avenue, by Mrs. Emma ~.
Buxbaum, who lives at Breton Hall,
West Eighty-sixth Street and Broad
way, the principal one being Miss
Floral May Glover, the husbands young
and pretty Office assistant. Mrs. buX-
baum asserts that her husband dis
played too much affection for Miss
Glover and too little for his wife.
According 10 Frank Moss, candidate
for District Attorney, OF counsel for
the wife, the annual income OF the
dentist from his practice is about 500
600. Mrs. Buxbaum adds details of his
iinanciel condition, which tepd to show
that he has an additional income from
stocks, bonds and real estate.
Miss Glover is said TO be about the
age of Robert n. Buxbaum, the twenty
one-year-old son of the couple. This
Young woman, the complaining wife
says, has received numerous valuable
presents from her employer, including
a ring valued at $4,000. Mrs. Buxbaum
also says that DR.. Buxbaum, who is
iifty-two years old, took Miss Glover
and fer mother to the Adirondack
Mountains and there engaged a lodge,
Miss Glover being known as Miss Elsie

Not even with the spectacular raids

and the arrest of an employe of the

night ask more than, What does it all
mean?"
Was ir prediction move TO i'm

jingling Of the collection box? And
why was the Garden troubled, when
conditions there were known to Head
quarters for many months? And why
were other places of the same calibre
within stones throw of the Garden
not interfered with?
These questions we're fired back and
forth throughout Sunday and yester-
day and the only answer that Broad
way could give was { shrug Of the
shoulder. The puzzle, in the minds Of
the Broadwayites, is that Costigan did
not break into what Broadway knows
as real gambling houses-places where
roulette and the games that attract big
money are played. The only things the
police confscated were cards, chips,
poolroom equipment and dice, the para
phernalia Of crap and poker "parlors. /"
Commissioner Woods yesterday ex-
pressed pleasure at the activity of Cos
tigan on Saturday, and said it proved
that gamblers and other lawbreakers
could not buy protection from the po-
lice; that no gambler would risk a
large investment in house when he
knew that the police might move
against him any moment.
Veteran habitues of Broadway winked
an eye when the Commissioner state
ment became known. They maintain
that it was never pretended that any
money finds its way to those in the
highest places in the big building in
Centre Street, but they say that it
would require a person of more than
average eloquencs TO convince those
