TWO AND FOUR YEAR
 COURSES FOR TUFTS
President COusens Proposes Radical Educational Changes

Msdford Mass. June aT.-A propos- al for radical change in the educa- tional scheme of Tufts College has been laid before the faculty members by President John 4. Cousens. It would do away with the present four year college course and institute a two year introductory college course 10 be followed by courses Of two years or more in the Tufts professional schools.
 The introductory college" Presi- dent Cousens informed the faculty.
 would serve two purposes, general training in liberal arts for all, but so designed as to constitute pre- -profes- sional training for some. As to curri- oulum, ii should be such one as would widen the students knowledge Of the world and of himself, and would stimulate ihim by precept and example 10 make the utmost use Of hls power for self-deNeopment and for service to his fellows"
 4 student completing the two years course would receive the degree Of As sociste In Arts, with all the rights and privileges of an alumnus. The de- faAthehNs oi HlrdltlLls' law, IehtSlFSt theology teaching, chemistry. enEin- eerlng, business administration and general research would he organized into schools, each with its own dean, giving courses covering at least two years and leading 10 the bachelor de- gree and to special professional de- Erses.
 Tn the professional schools" Pres idsnt cousens said, numbers would he small and strictly limited, The effort would be to set and maintain the highest possible standards of scholar ship. The point ot view would be the l development of the individual rather l than the group.
 There is present in the university l

system of America some danger of too great paternalism. There Is far greater danger Of neglecting the indi- Nidual student. I would have the ra- uo of teachers to students not greater than one to fifteen. would have each member Of the staff a teacher in the art of living to his special group of students.
 T would have endowment to pro- vide the plant and maintain 1t. l would have student tuition sufficient 10 pay adequate salaries 10 the staff. would have special endowment fo rre- search. Given all these, I should ex- pect results not now attained by any other institution in America"

10, Killed by the Same Bolt of
Lightning Tuesday
THIRD PERSON BADLY STUNNED
Clyde Swanson, Also Standing in the Barn. is Stunned
by Bolt But Will Probably Recover from
Effects of Shock.

Two lives were claimed by the storm
which struck Kenosha and Kenosha
county late Tuesday afternoon when
Oscar Lundgreen, aged 10 years, 423
Balm avenue, and Arthur Sorrensen, a
ten-year- old lad, were instantly killed
when struck by lightning when they
were standing in the doorway of the
barn on the farm of Jacob Sorrensen,
father of the boy, on the Milwaukee
road, one-half mile north of it's inter-
section with the Geneva road.
Clyde Swanson, who also was stand
ing in the barn doorway at the time,
was also stunned by the bolt but was
not killed. He was hurried to the Ke-
nosha hospital where it is stated that
unless unforeseen complications devel-
ope he will recover.
The other two were lifeless when
help reached them only few seconds
after the bolt had struck. They failed
to respond to efforts made to recuscit-
ate them. Physicians who were sum-
monded stated after an examination
that they had been killed instantly.
Sought Shelter in Barn.
Young Lundgreen, whose home was
in Kenosha but who had been employ

COLE EIGHT CAR
HAD BOOZE in IT
Police Are Tipped Off by a
Citizen and Find Lot of
Alcohol in Alley.
BE DETROIT CAR
Car lowed to Sheridan Road
Garage Carried a Detroit
Sunday Newspaper.

Two suit cases full of booze are at
the police Office today waiting for the
owner to come and claim them. The
cases contain stuff that must be Of
value to the man who had them IN
possession for there are no less than
twenty-six one-gallon cans of alcohol
there
But the owner is unknown, and the
police will be much obliged If he will
present himself for identification.
Maybe he will be allowed to take the
booze away with him; maybe not.
This morning at $3.50 o'clock, in the
wake of the big storm, citizen who
CHANGED to be on the street, and who
desires to remain incognito, saw two
men drive up in large touring car
and stop in the alley back of the Help
Yourself Garage on Sheridan road.
There were two men and two women
in the car. The men got out and lift
ed two suitcases which from their ac-
tions appeared to be heavy, and de-
posted two suitcases back of the gar
age.
Presently the towing apparatus of
the Sheridan Road Garage came along
and towed away the big touring car.
The interested citizen took in all
this and then communicated with the
police Office.
Plenty of Alcohol There.
Police Officers O'Hare, Tusler and
Pollesch responded to the police call,
and there within a few hundred feet
of the city hall the two suitcases were
found, and in the suitcases, twenty
six one-gallon cans of moon and al
cohol.
The car which had carried the
booze, according to the police was
Cole eight touring car. The police
learned that the party in the car, af-
ter leaving it for repairs, had taken
the train at the Northwestern station.
The people in the car appeared to
be foreigners, it was said by those
who met them. In the touring car
was found a Detroit Sunday News
dated July 29, 1924.

ISSUE WARNING

Unless the cellars in the flooded
areas of the city are dried up at

set in, according to officials of the
city health department today. The
warning was sent out declaring
that immediate steps must be tax
en- to clean up the inundated areas.
"The pools of water will become
at once breeding places for germs
and filth" the health officer SAID.
at is we'll established fact that
epidemics follow in the wake OF
floods, caused mainly by stagnation
of water left in pools in higher
ground. While there is nothing OF
this, kind serious enough to cause
anyone in Kenosha any alarm, it
is best to be on the safe side and
clean up at once. Residents should
attempt at once to drain off this
water as soon as possible and
clean UP all refuse and debris.
'In one way the flood is god
send, for it has exterminated
thousands of rats, mice and other
destructive rodents and animals"

STAR WITNESS TAKES
STAND in BRANDT CASE
Vincent Koteski, States Star Witness
in Case Against the Brandt
Brothers, Takes Stand.

Marinette, Wis. Vincent Koteski,
the states star witness in the case of
Lewis and John Brandt, Jr., on a
charge of first degree murder follow
ing the burning to death of their ia
Their on the Brandt farm, more than
three years ago, took the stand short
ly after the preliminary hearing was
resumed today.
1t was Vincent Koteski, who had
made a sworn statement which led to
the arrest of the accused brothers
Following the recital of his relations
with the Brandt family, his signed
statement was presented. In a cross
examination later he reaffirmed a
statement in which he had said that
John Brandt stood near the burning
barn with a shot gun leveled at the
door, while cries and means could be
heard coming from within.
Previously Conrad Asmuth, state fire
marshal, was on the stand and told Of
the investigation following the fatal
fire and how Koteski's statement was
secured.
Frank Koteski, who is alleged to
have made statement to District
Attorney A. F. Murphy, corroborating
his brothers allegations was to be The
next witness.
In the hearing yesterday the state
apparently proved to the satisfaction
of the court that the victim of the
fire was John Brandt, Sr. 1t was al
so brought out that revolver found
in the ruins after the fire, could not
have been used by the dead man to
end his life.
Early in the proceedings yesterday
the murder and arson charge was with
drawn and charge Of first degree
murder preferred against the brothers.

Reykjavik, Iceland Lieutenants
Lowell H. Smith and Eric Nelson, the
United States army world aviators,
expect to remain here several days,
following their stormy trip from
Hoefn Hornafjord, on the eastern
Icelandic coast yesterday. The fiers
said they could start today on their
Greenland flight except for the un-
certainty of the situation at Angmag-
salik where the worst ice conditions
in years are reported.
The airmen do not like the prospect
of 48O-mile fight over open water
with no certainty of a proper landing
place. The reports from Angmagsalik

ance as yet that the supply steamer
Gertrud Rask, reported yesterday
caught in the ice fifteen miles off
shore, had been able to deliver her
supplies for the airmen's next stop.

was awaiting the fiers here when they
arrived yesterday in canvassing the
situation but is uncertain as yet when
it will be feasible to continue the

LOEB PICTURED
AS REALSLAYER
Alienist Tells How Loeb
Described Killing of
Franks Boy.
SHOW NO EMOTION
Attorney barrow Declares He
Will Sum Up Evidence in One
Court Session.

Chicago, Ill.-Dr. Bernard Glueck of
New York. testified at the Franks hear
ing this morning that Richard Loeb
throughout his mental examination of
him, had admitted that he struck the
blow with cold chisel which killed
Bobby Franks.
Two defense alienists previously on
the witness stand had failed, they
testified, to asked the boys as to
which had struck the fatal blow, and
the state had been unable to bring
out the point.
Throughout the investigation of the
connection of Loeb and Nathan F.
Leopold, Jr., with the murder, the
matter of who actually struck the
fatal blow, had been the unsolved
mystery. Both youths while con-
Tossing to the kidnapping and Staying,
accused the other.
Loeb remained impassive when DR.,
Glueck testified that he had killed
Bobby Franks. Leopold leaned for
ward, a grimace on his face. smiled
slowly and talked with counsel.
The statement that Loeb actually
had struck the fatal blow, was brought
out under questioning by Benjamin
Bachrach of defense counsel.
Loeb Admits Fatal Blow.
"Did Loeb say who struck the
blow?'' said Bachrach.
"He told me throughout all details;
that he, Loeb, struck the blow" re-
piled DR.. Glueck.
Judge Caverly and the attorneys
remained impressive as had Loeb when
the testimony was offered, Judge
Caverly leaning calmly on his hand,
elbow on the arm of his chair.
Asked how long he would speak
when the hearing reached the argu-
ment stage, Clarence S. barrow, vet
eran chief counsel for the defense, IN
dictated he might find enough words for
half court session, or one hour
DR.. Glueck pronounced Click with
a short "I'') resumed his testimony
at the point left off yesterday.
The mental pathologist spoke in
low pitched, one-toned voice and twice
within the first five minutes was
urged by Mr. Bachrach to speak
louder, please"
Talking along in his monotone, Mr..
Bachrach suddenly interrupted him
with a question as to whether Loeb
had admitted who struck the fatal
blow. In the same voice DR.. Glueck
replied that Loeb had admitted
throughout his examination of him that
che, Loeb, struck the blow
1t was not apparent that the spec
tators had caught the real signific-
ance of the remark. There was moth
ing to indicate that they had even
caught the remark.
81 took up with Loeb the Franks
crime and asked him to tell of it,
testified DR.. Glueck Loeb replied in
a most matter of fact way, narrated
without any squamishness, all the de-
tails and planning of the crime, and
was amazed at the absolute absence
of any normal feeling He showed no
remorse, no regret, no passion or love,
and as he kept on talking it became
evident to me that he was utterly de-
void of emotional responses. 1t became
wholly incomprehensive to me except
