Secretary Stokes also calls atten-
ton TO the student distribution az

The Bureau OF Appointments tells
that approximately 700 students at
the university support themselves in
part. earning from 5000 TO $500 each
wear. A new scheme of studies for
the graduate students of the ShcfN e J d
school is also announced in this years
report.
Next year all freshmen in that de-
partment of the university will room
in the dormitories, method which is
expected to prove advantageous for the
student body. Rooms on Berkeley oval
will be reserved next year for the nrst
year college men, a change which Will
force the juniors TO find other quar-
ters.

freshman class 90 per cent Of the stu
dents from private schools and ~ per
cent from high schools entered free
of conditions. OF the men warned
in their studies last midyears, nifty
five prepared at private schools and

Broker Asks Surrogate to
Declare Late Charles G.
Citizen of New York.
WANTS ESTATE
ADMINISTERED HERE
wills of Father and Son Filed in
Texas. Loser in Corner Baked
in Serving Papers.

Robert II. Thornburn, formerly a
member Of the Chicago Board of Trade,
made a new move yesterday to collect
his claim OF S2,l30000 against the es-
tates Of John W Gates and his son,
Charles G. Gates, representing his
losses in a corner In corn in 1902.
Thornburn brought suit in the Federal
Court against the two estates. Judge
Learned Hand vacated the service Of
the summons on Mrs. Dellora X. Gates,
widow o. John ". Gates, who is ex-
ecutrix OF the estates Of her husband
an son.
Thornburn yesterday obtained in the
Surrogates' Court an order directing
Mrs. Gates and all legatees under the
will Of Charles G. Gates to show
cause why the will should not be ad-
mitted to probate in New York and
Charles G.. Gates be declared a resi-
dent of this state. Thornburn said he
was creditor OF the estate and he
was not certain whether the younger
Gates was resident OF New York.
Texas or Minnesota. His will and that
of his father were probated in Texas.
In asking for the yacatinc Of the
summons in the Federal Court action
Mrs Cafes said that the wills Of her
husband and son were admitted 10
probate IN Texas. and as she was ad-
rninfstering the estates under the laws
Of that state papers in the case in
New York could not be served on her.
She also contendcd that the claim Of
ThornDurn was based on a violation
Of the Sherman antitrust law, and
that Il any cause OF action eXitsed II
Gied with her husband and son.
Mrs. Gates said that in January last
she received letter from Thcrnburn
saving that he intended 10 sue under
the Sherman law. He said that in
1902 Charles c.. Gates and his broker
age firm. Harris, Gates & Company,
manipulated the market FOR July corn
and attempted 20 get a corner on the
Chicago Board OF Trace. Because OF
This alleged corner. Thonburn wrote,
his firm. Waite, Thornburn & Com
rany. was compelled to buy corn from
Harris. Gates & Company. for which
his firm was compelled TO paw 'un-
reasonable and monopolistic prices"
Later the Gates concern sued the
Thornburn firm. The latter failed 70
pay and complaint was made agains.
II TO the Board of Trade. which result
Cd in the suspension Of the Thornburn
firm. Thornburn. therefore. asked
damages Of S2.130000 for the destruc-
ton Of his business through the al
legged acts Of Gates and his firm. one
Of whom was his father, in manipulat-
ing the corn market.
Judge Hand ruled that service could
rot De- made on Mrs. Gates here. How
ever if Thor1buru succeeds N having
the viii Of Charles G.. Gates probated
20 New York he viii be able 70 obtain
service on Mrs. Gates here. Otner-
wise service can be he'd only in Texas.
Thornburn has also brought suit
against James 4. patten. the former
cotton king" TO 100000 damages for
alleged violation Of the Sherman Law.

Neither Esau nor King Richard III has
ANYTHING on Giles Gregory, eighty-two
wears old. True, Esau swooped down
on his brother with nm offer to sell his
birthright for a mess Of pottage, and
the hunchback king was willing to part
with his kingdom for horse. But
Giles Gregory, whose official residence

with his right 10 the $4,000 left him
by hi. nephew for a plug Of chewing

Not that chewing tobacco Is scarce In
this vicinity. but Giles Gregory is only
potential Crpsus. Henry Green, his
nephew. left no will, so that under tho
Connecticut law the estate goes 70 the

Kienzle, state that the Kienzle family
home is in Schwenningen, a village or
Wurtemburg. on the circle Of the Black
Forest. IL was further learned that
Oscar. a relative. was killed in action
with the German forces on January .
Of this year. and that Dr. kienzle's
brother Erich is now with The German
army.
According 10 the records the trial has
been postponed from time 20 time at
the request of Benno Loewy, the de-
PENDANTS counsel, SeCause Of the abb
sence Of Erich. I'm his petition Mr..
Loewy stated that his client sailed on
a vacation trip TO Germany on July q,
1914. and on the breaking out Of hos
tilities was drafted for war.
II was also ascertained in the records
OF the case that DR.. KienZle is a
nephew of Court Councillor Scheleken,
Of the Wurtemburg Military Academy.
The revelations Of the records in the
Kienzle undeya.uation suit have been
fruitful in one respect, in the matter
of establishing The departure Of DR..
kienzle on the Kronprinzessin CeciIe
on her last eastward passage from this
port TO Bremen.
In statement made in Chicago. on
Tuesday, Max Breitung admitted hav-
ing known Paul Daeche, an alleged con-
spirator, now in the Hudson County
jail, and stated that he was a fellow
passenger with him on the Kronprin-
zassin. This accounts for the presence
Of two men on the vessel, which was
forced to put back, fearing capture BY
British cruisers.
Daeche was a Bavarian officer. and
has protested strenuously against eX-
tradition from New Jersey. Mr.. Knox
had conference yesterday in Jersey
City with Robert $. Hudspeth. the
prosecutor of Hudson County, 10 the
matter Of eXtradition for Qaechc. his
counsel declared that Daeche would
waive none Of his rights and would
fight removal 10 New York without a
hearing.
An investigation was made yesterday
concerning memorandum found In q
notebook in the possession of Scholz
when he was arrested. On one OF the
pages appeared the name and address
of the Ferro Machine and Foundry
Company, Of 202 Fulton Street.
The company is engaged in the man
ufacture Of gasolene engines, and many
Of its products have been sold 20 the
Russian government.
4 representative Of the company
said: Every time we have done any
business with Russia or the Allies a
German has called upon US, under some
pretext or other, regarding the manu-
facture or shipment Oi our engines IL
is the same with other manufacturing
plants which have had dealings with
the Allies.
1t was learned yesterday that the
operations Of the alleged bomb con-
spirators were not confined alone 10 the
observation of the police who subse-
quently arrested them. A launch. which
is thought 10 have been owned by Fay,
was stopped by Customs watchman
one night in the North River, near the
Chelsea piers, where the occupants
were making examinations at the bow
and under the counter of q liner
Asked what lie was doing, the man
in the bow Of the launch who was max
ing measurements declared that he was
making device for the protection Of
merchant vessels from mine and tor
pedo attacks. and that the patents were
to be submitted TO the United States
government.

At the recent meeting OF the city
council 1t was voted that the clerk
shall draw a warrant for $3.50 to pay
the expenses of the fire department In
attending the state fremen's tourna-
ment at Iowa City in the near future.
Opinion seems to be divided here on
the question Of the immediate need OF
a new school building and on the wis
dom Of calling an election to vote
bonds to the amount OF 100000 to
build one. Even the members OF the
board do not seem to be unanimous IN
favor Of the proposition. The indie
pendent district owns the ground north
OF the present high school building to
the line OF the Methodist church lot
and there is room for large building
with, considerable margin Of .tlav-
ground. But, with an eye to what IL
hoped will be the future Of this city
within the next decade or two there
are those who think Il would be the
wiser plan to secure certain grounds
now obtainable and making the best
site for fine school building that the
city affords, and to wait a year or two
at least before attempting to build.
BY the time 1t becomes Imperative to
have the new building It Is thought
/! that bonds can he issued running for
! twenty years and building worth say
$150,000 erected that will be the I:.!.ae
Of the city in both location and Archi-
