FAMILY SOUND ASLEEP AS ROBBERS
CART AWAY SAFE, CASH AND GEMS
Police Puzzled by Burglars' Feat in Carrying Out 500
Pound Object Without Rousing Occupants of
House, Despite Boom of Operation
"Dr-r-oom-m, boom-m."
A SOO-pound safe rumbled across Ihe
parlor floor. Upstairs n family slept.
"Cra-a-ck, rr-lpl"
The safe swept aside a music cabinet
and tore off a shower of mahogany splin
ters. Btlll dreams wcro undisturbed.
"Brr-r-oomb-oom."
Into the hall and toward the front door
the heavy safe clumsily progressed. The
door opened and three men emenrod from
the house Into the dimly lighted street.
They dragged the safe down the steps
and across the sidewalk to a truck. With
block and tackle they raised It to the
wagon, and, their wrrk completed, they
mounted the conveyance and drove away
This morntns Mrs. Heckle Blmon and
her three daughters, who live in the
houso at W0 South Bodlne street, found
that the safe had disappeared with Its
contents of !40 In cash and 150 worth
of Jewelry. They reported tho theft
BARKER SAYS U. OF P.
BOARD NEVER OFFERED
NEARING YEAR'S PAY
Prominent Trustee Asserts Col
leagues Did Not Authorize
Provost to Take
, Step
DUAL MEANING SiE E N
Mr. Smlth'3 Stetoment Said to
Open to Two Interpretations
on Matter
Be
A definite statement was made today
that Provost Edgar F. Smith, of the
Unlvorslty of Pennsylvania, never was
authorized by the board of trustees to
offer Dr. Scott Ncartng a year's salary
following his dismissal from the Wharton
School.
Wharton Barker, a trustee of the Uni
versity, questioned today, said:
"No, the trustees did not vote to con
tinue Doctor Nearlng's salary."
Ho refused to go further Into the mat
ter, but pointed out that the statement
Issued by the Provost today Is subject
to two Interpretations. The statement
was: "I told the dean (McCrea) of the
Wharton School that I was prepared,
with the approval of the trustees, to pay
Doctor Ncarlng his full year's salary."
This, In thojSMyjnlon of Mr. Barker, may
be taken to mUlTir-that the provost would
mako the offer if he obtained the con
sent of tho trustees. The other mean
ing possible Is that the provost intimated
the sanction of the trustees in the
matter.
The statement Is as follows:
"First Doctor Whlto's statement thai
Doctor Nearlng had been kindly and con
siderately asked If he could not help to
lessen a growing feeling (which many of
un thought unjust to him) by a bettor
adaptation of his arguments to the under
standing of his audiences, Is entirety cor
rect. I did not ask him to modify his
views of teachings ns to child labor, or
as to poverty, or as to any other specific
views or doctrines. The wholo purpose
of tho only Interview I have had with
him, which was about four years ago,
was to get him to try to 'give no ground
for sensational and exaggerated miscon
ceptions of his views. The only example
discussed had reference to ,hls then re
cently published statement, that he had
'utterly lost faith In the courts and tho
law.' '
"Second Doctor Nearlng snys. In a re
cent announcement: 'Neither the board,
nor the provost, nor any officer of the
board, has offered me a continuance of
salary.' Tho fact Is that on three i sepa
rate occasions I told the dean of the
Wharton School that I was prepared,
wtlh the approval of tho trustees, to pay
Doctor Nearlng his full year's salary,
and on each occasion the dean, speaking
for Doctor Nearlng, declined tho offer.
On one of these occasions I proposed, It
Doctor Nearlng objected, under the cir
cumstances to receiving1 pay from the
University, to draw my personal check
for the full amount, but this offer was
also declined.
"The proposition was made because
both the trustees and I desired Doctor
Nearlng to understand that the failure to
reappoint him was not accompanied by
the very least desire to Injure him per
sonally, cr by any lack of appreciation
of his merits.
"As a matteajof fact, the record of tho
board shows conclusively thnt It has
always heartily favored the fullest aca
demic freedom. I cordially indorse the
following statement made by Doctor
White In his recent letter to the alumni:
"So far as I know, nothing could be
more unwarranted or further from the
truth than the assumption that the action
In the Nep-lng case was pnrt of a so
called pie to carry out a reactionary
policy or '-iet free academic discussion
and free - m of Individual speech. There
never hts been, and ndver will be, any
thought of such a policy at the Univer
sity. There never has been, and never
will be, and euoh action taken by the
board. There Is not now, and I doubt If
there ever has been, nn element in the
board that could Influence any votes to
ward such nn end."
Another Important development in the
affair is the stand taken by Doctor Near
lng's former colleagues at a faculty
meeting In College HaJI last night, when
It. was unanimously decided to fight the
"academic freedom" Issue to a finish. A
committee was appointed at the sugges
tion of Prof. Edgar Singer, of the de
partment of philosophy, to Investigate
and report on professors' tenure of of
flee In other universities and colleges of
the United States.
Among the Influential members of the
faculty who opposed the stand taken by
the board of trustees were Edward P.
Cheyney, professor of history; Cornelius
Woygandt, professor of English, and Prof,
Felix B. Schelllns, head of the English
department.
Dean Qulnn and Dean Frailer, of the
college department and the tnglneering
college, respectively, were among: the
prominent men who attended. Throughout
the entire meeting not one word was said
in defense of the board of trustees on
the "arbitrary stand which they have
taken In the Nearlng case.

bors said they doubted that It weighed W0

REGISTRATION BOARD
APPROVES CANVASS
Clinton Rogers Woodruff
Praises Move in Letter to
Director Dripps
Official approval of the police canvass
of registered voters In Philadelphia in
order to throw out fraudulent names has
been given by the Board of Registration
Commlrsloners In a letter written today
by Clinton Rouers Woodruff, chairman
of the board, to Robert D. Dripps, Di
rector of tho Department of Public
Safety.
The board's approval of the police can
vass first Instituted by George D. Porter
was a surprise to politicians, for the Qr"
ganlzatlon's opposition to the canvass has
been bitter. It was oven said that nn
effort would be made to enjoin the police
from canvassing the registry lists.
A desire to co-operate with Director
Dripps' campaign against frndulcnt
voters, but an admission of Inability to
accomplish much were also expressed
today by Mr. Woodruff.
Woodruff said the board was anxious
to work with the department to elimi
nate .fraud In registration, but that tho
press of other work would prevent giving
much attention to tho rooming-house
question. Other work Included placlnir
on the lists those who were 111 or away
during the three registration days, the ar
ranging of the lists, hearing appeals from
Iocnl boards and other things.
Furthermore, weeding out frauds would
require detective work, Woodruff said,
and this the board was not ready to pro
vide. Up to ooon today 447 names have been
added to the list since the last registra
tion day. Of this number 337 were Repub
licans, 3T Democrats, 23 Washington
party, 62 nonpartisan nnd tho rest scat
tered among small parties, Among those
who got their names on the registry lists
today were Georgo W. Norls. formerly
Director of the Department of Wharves,
Docks and Ferries; Samuel MUlken, W
Linton Landreth, Q. S. Benson. Jdhn
Cailwalader, Joseph C. Bailey and Charles
W. Bailey.
MANY HURT IN COLLISION l
Runaway on New York Elevated
Crashes Into Crowded Car
NEW YORK. Oct. 6.-A runaway ele
vated car, traveling at a high into of
speed, ended a wild dash early tody by
crashing into a crowded Bay Ridge car.
Injuring nbout 50 persons. Nono Is

Th car was being taken out of the
yards by a new motorman and It stalled.
Getting down from his station, the mo
torman applied a "Jumper" and tho car
lurched and whizzed away. The motor
man made a futile attempt to grab the
handlebars as it sped, but failed, and,
ungulded, the car swept on.
The guards on the loaded train saw
the runaway, but wero unablo to avert
the crash.
Eight of the injured persons were taken
to hospitals. The rest were taken to their
homes.

DREYFUS NOW COMMANDS

Hero of Famous Spy Trial Volunteers
for War Duty
PARIS. Oct. 6. Alfred Dreyfus, hero of
the notorious spy trials thnt split France
Into bitter factions several years ago,
has re-cntcrtd the urmy and Is now com
manding ono of the forts surrounding
Pnrls.
This fact was learned lodny, though
French officials are still reluctant to dis
cuss Dreyfus' affairs. Dreyfus, who was
a captain of artillery when he was con
victed of having sold to Germany plans
of a new French gun, was promoted to
the rank of commandant (major) after
his retrial and acquittal, He holds the
same rank now.
Though ho Is 51 years old, Dreyfus vol
unteered his services at the outbreak Jf
the war because he was eager to rehabili
tate himself In the minds of any doubters.
He was at once placed In command of
n Pnrls fort, but has had no chance to
distinguish himself, since the Paris forU
have not been In action. According to men
who know him best Dreyfus lives quietly
and has but few Intimates.

WALL STREET, FEARING
CRASH, GIVES WARNING
Stock Exchange Cnlls Halt on
Wild Speculation in "War
Babies" Danger Seen
NEW YORK, Oct 6. Wall street Is un
easy and today shut down the brakes
hard on a wildly fluctuating market.
Alarmed by the frenzy of speculation in
"war babies" and with a sense of impend
ing danger, "the Street" took measures to
curb reckless plungers, who have made
Stock Exchange history in the last two
weeks.
Brokers notified their customers that
the usual margins of from 20 to to points
were doubled. Some frankly advised their
clientele to quit the game, as a crash can
not be far oft with the market running
like a wild steer.
The Btock Exchange, officially, warned
members against carrying accounts where
a suitable margin was not kept up, point
ing out the penalty for such breaches of
exchange law. Unofficially, the exchange
advised Its members against carrying ac
counts of clerks and persons whom they
considered unnbl to withstand losses,
and banks also took n hand.
Wild stories of one-minute fortunes
have caused the greatest flood of specu
lation In the street's history nnd Wall
street Is considering the reaction even
while the action is at Its height.

BRITISH LOSS EXCEEDS
Volunteer System a Failure and
Army Growing Smaller,
Admits London Paper
LONDON, Oct. 6. A strong article
against tho volunteer system of filling the
British army wan printed today by the
Dally Express. Following so closely upon
the announcement that Lord Derby, one
of the lenders of the conscrlptlonlsts, has
been put In charge of tho recruiting serv
ice, the article la regarded as one of the
utmost significance.
In referring to tho heavy casualties In
the recent fighting In France, tho Dally
Express says:
"Our losses at Galllpoll and In Flanders
week by week now exceed tho volunteers
who nro entering tho army. It requires
no skill to work out the Inevitable sum
at the end.
"It Is absolutely Immaterial what form
tho methods of filling up the ranks will
take, but whatever Is decided on, since
voluntnry enlistment Is definitely known
to be n failure, let It be dono now with
out reservation or evasion."

CHARLTON DEPRESSED
BYDELAYOFTOIAL
His Protests Against Postpone
ment Ignored by Court at .
Como, Italy
COMO, Italy. Oct. 6 -Porter Charlton,
nervous and much depressed In spirit,
was back in his cell today to remain for
twelve days more. Over his vigorous ob
jections his trial for the murder of hit
wife, Mary Scott Charlton, was suddenly
adjourned to October IS, only a few hours
after it opened yesterday ofternoon.
The adjournment was ordered on mo
tion of Charlton's new counsel, Mldhepe
Plcardl, who asked time to study some of
the records In the case. But the young
American himself, his lips twitching, rat
tled the bars of tho Iron case In which
ho was cooped in the courtroom and
begged tho Judge to grant no postpone
ment Wearisome preliminaries were disposed
of at tho first session, An Italian at
torney harangued the court with a Ions:
plea for damages for Ispalotoft, the Rus
sian, who was falsely accused and Im
prisoned When Mrs. Charlton's body was
recovered from Lake Como. Another at
tomuy asked uamages for Mrs. Legnazzl,
owner of the "honeymoon villa" In which
Charlton slew his wife with a mallet Tho
place now has a "haunted house" reputa
tion, he said, and no more tourists can
be Induced to rent It. The presiding Judge
dismissed both claims.
