HARVARD PUTS BAN
ON GRADUATE'SSON
President Lowell Refuses to

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, January 11.-A re-
quest of Roscoe Conkling Bruce, a
negro graduate of Harvard Univer-
sity, that room be reserved in the
freshman halls at Harvard for his
son has been refused by President A.
Lawrence Lowell, a letter published
in the New York World today dis
closes.
Replying to Bruce. President Low
ell wrote:
I am sorry to have to tell you that
In the freshman halls, where resi-
dence is compulsory, we have felt
from the beginning the necessity of
not including coIored men. TO the
other dormitories and dining rooms
they are admitted freely, but in the
freshman halls. / am sure you will
understand why, from the beginning
we have not thought it possible to
compel men of different races to re-
side together"

A letter written to President Lowell
by Bruce says:

 On December 24, the liner Presi- dent Garfield brought in a three master she had lowed from off Nan tucket. The Rosa Ferlita, the schooner, was in a bad way and her crew was starving. Two days later in three days late with a fishing crew of four. Those men had fired their schooner, which was leaking and crumbling under them.
 Great Liners Late
 Such great ocean travellers as the Caronia, the Berengaria, the Olym- pie. the Majestic, the Zeeland. Sam land and many others. came in, all days late. They told of terrific battles with the waves. La Savoie of the French line reported 100-mile gales ond 90-foot waves.
 Ships put into Halifax to get out of trouble. On December 28, four small boats crashed to the beaches near New York harbor. They were all ill-fated bootleggers.
 The Heinrich KaySer, a freighter, joined the mystery ships on Decem- Der 6. A wireless from her said her rudder chains were broKen. She was drifting. There was a full gale. With crew of 42 aboard she is still missing. Her owners at last are ready to admit her a probable loss.

 The weather bureau says it cannot estimate the average force of the gales for those seven terrific weeks.

ITALYS POLICE FORCE BEING RE0RGANlZED

ROME, Feb. 10.-The whole of the Italian police service is being re- organized under the government of Premier Musso1ini. The Royal Cara bineers will remain as the principle police force of Italy. while the royal guards will be abolished and their personnel absorbed into the cara bineers. The number of detectives on tho Italian police force will be increased from 6,00o to 12,000. N
 The royal carabineers have been the backbone of the Italian police force for over a century. Their history is filled with glorious deeds connected with the rise and unity of all the separated Italian states. They are noted for their pie turesque appearance. and present a colorful contrast to all the other police of Europe. Their tunics re- semble the coat of an evening dress suit, with the tails bordered in deep red. Across the chest several wide strands of white leather cross each other. and are designed to carry their knapsacks. Their headgear ly shaped, and resembling the hat usually worn by Napoleon.
 While the royal guards, which or ganization was instituted by former Premier Nitti. will be abolished, not all the guards will be taken into the royal carabineers. The royal guards number approximately 40,- 900 and only half that number will find berths in the enlarged organ ization of carabineers. The re- mainder will be discharged. The ad- dition of 10000 royal guards to the carabineers' forces will increase tho latter body to S0.000.

RADIO BRINGS JOy ID LEPER COLONY; ENDS LONELINESS
Afflicted People Again Are Brought Into Contact With Outside World Through
 Invention

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Feb. 10- Cabras Island, the home of l'orto Rico's leper colony, after years of dreary days and silent nights, can now listen to the voices of the world. A radio receiving set has just been installed there, within a few days loud speaker will be at tached and 36 new radio fans will be enchanted with the mar.els of science, and occasionally. of course. disgusted with the perverseness of static. The radio set was made pos sible by an anonymous gift of $100 which came from New York, to which were added local eontribu- tions.
 Probably not since it's invention has the setting up of a radio set been watched by a more interested group of spectators than that which followed the movements of the Rev. Charles B. Bare aha two employees of the Porto Rico Telephone company as they installed the instrument. Not that there was much animated com ment or boisterous enthusiasm.

 Hear Singers
 When the loud speaker comes you will be able to hear concerts music and singing in San Juan, in Havana and in the big cities of the United States" they were told. There was a chorus of Magnifico" and que bueno." and one man remarked: Tt was meant for such exiles aS we are." For, near as they are to San Juan, the lepers regard their isola- tion as exile. "Somos pobres des- terradoes," ("we are poor exiles). they tell you. They complain of the loneliness of their lives more than they do of the disease itself. Even the prospect of hearing nightly the strains of famous orchestras and the words of eloquent speakers does not reconcile them to their lot.
 They hate the glaring sunlight, for 1t pains their eyes. They hate the salt and misty night airs, for they aggravate their sufferings. They hate the dreary darkness of night relieved by nothing but little oil lamps. Help to get us away from here" they urge the visitor. The radio concerts will be heard in the club house of the Philanthropic society of Cabras Island. The club house is rather meagerly furnished, a broken yictrola. rather unsteady table, and some benches and chairs. Superintendent Rubin has promised to see that everyone has a seat-and so on nights when Pittsburg and Ha- vana speak out clec-. and bold" the exiles of Cabras will be listening.
 But one who used to be of their number will not be there. During the year a new grave has been dug in the burying ground at the extreme point of the island. The living never go there.

 TAKE HEAVY T0LL
November to January Period Sets New Record Upon the High Seas-Ships Are
 Delayed

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-The hur- ricanes, whole gales. half gales and storms which have been sweeping the Atlantic for nearly two months, have spent their force, the weather bureau reports, but in their wake they have left stranded and sunken ships, unsolved and mysterious trag- edies of the sea. and series of de layed runs- for transatlantic liners which has not been eQualed since war days.
 Now comes the worst month of the year. February brings more vicious pounding gales to Atlantic ships than any other. But the weather bureau joins with maritime experts. this year, in the belief that it can not possibly equal the late November to January 21 record.
 That seven week period which came to it's end January 2 left record hard for any like period to approach. The Atlantic claimed 13 ships: it took 2s men to their deaths; it made 23 giant liners more than 12 hours late-most of them were from 2 to 3 days behine schedule and it left the unsolvable mystery of what happened to eight other ships.
 Accidents Reported
 Tn addition there were accidents or near accidents on the Sea of Mamora. tho Pacific, the Great Lakes, the Baltic sea-but the hurricanes which crossed the Atlantic were the worst.
 Secretary Hughes brought the first great hurricane with him when he returned from South America in November. 1t swept out from be- hind Bermuda with a force of more than 100 miles an hour. It tore across the Atlantic. hit the French coast and tore right back again. And on November 2S there began to be reports of trouble at sea.
 Five Canadian fishing schooners failed to report that day. Anxiety is felt for them." said the dispatches. Later four got in; the fifth is in the list of missing ships.
 On the same day a bootlegger went to pieces on Long Island. and residents of the vicinity got most of the cargo. according to the pro- hibition agents. Towards night bottle was washed up on Long Is- land with the story of six men who had fought death two weeks in an open boat.

 For seven weeks since then in- coming liners have told the same story. So often has it been retold that it had to be particularly des- perate fight to get into the news.
 But from then until January IT.. hardly a ship entered New York har- bor that did not show the scars of it's fight. And daily there were re- ports Of s. O. s. received of founder ing ships. of boats. driven on uD- protected shores, of liners with pas-

Connie Thinks
Speaker May
Be First Stacker

Connie Mack has feeling that
Iris Speaker will end up his base
ball career as first sacker.
When he read that Guisto would
start the season and Brewer would
succeed him in case the Califor-
MAN failed to come up to eXpecta-
tons. Mack remarked:
Even if GuiStO and Brewer fail
to deliver. Speaker wouldn't have
to worry. Have you ever watched
Speaker playing the in!ield? Well,
he puts in Il lot OF time around first
base and plays it very capably.
"Playing center field calls for
much leg work. If Speaker finds his
lower limbs arc bothcring him, !
can see no reason why he couldn't
shift to first base. He is wonder
on ground balls. is a left-hander,
has Il fine arm and is a sure catch.
Speaker has every asset Of star
first sacker and it wouldn't surprise
me if be rounded out his career at
that position"
There is much logic to Mack's
observations about Speaker. For
years the Cleveland manager has
practiced great deal at first base.
He is right now capable OF play
ing the bag. With bit of expert
ence Nc would more than hold his
own.
1t is possible that Speaker may

or him.
However, Speaker feels that
Guisto will deliver and that in
