President Hibben Announces
That Frick Gift of $25,000,
jOOO Makes It Possible
HEROES GET DIPLOMAS
Princeton. N. .1.. Fob. 21. "The
Trick sift of SIM.OOO.OOO hns ramie it
possible to increase professors' salaries
23 per cent "
TMi nnuouuecment was made to
TMncctoii nlumni today by Dr. John
Jrice Hibben, president of Princeton
University, at the aunual luncheon,
which began at 1 o'clock this after
noon. Doctor Hibben spoke in optimistic
terms of Princeton's future.
"This is the first time in the efaht
years of my administration," he said,
"that I have addressed jour alumni
Tfith no fear for Princeton's future."
"I can now begiu to indulge m
dream of Princeton's development, u
dream of Princeton nqt merely as a bit:
university, but as a great one. as more
nnd more a factor in the national life
of our country, as a university that
wi'li be to America what Oxford and
Cambridge nnd the I'niversity of Pari
are to their countries," said Doctor
Hibben.
Princeton Must Lead Nation
"Princeton must meet the intellec
tual, scientific and moral needs of the
coming years in this country and in
the vorld-at-larj:e, for Europe is look
ing to us for leadership. I crave that
Princeton may give that leadership to
the nation and the world now as it gave
leaders to our country's cause at the
tjme we gained our iudeoendence.
President Hibben pointed out that
twenty-two new courses had already
been introduced into the university to
meet the needs of this post-war period
of development. He explained that
Henry Frick's gift came at the
psychological moment to show the world
that this great man had a groat faith in
the present and future of Princeton and
that he was greatly encouraged by the
progress of the university endowment
fund.
He also Dointed out the growth in
attendance, which is 17 per cent higher
than before the war.
"You have returned to us, thank
God, with life sti'l a precious posses
sion and the glorious promise of your
tested years of mind and soirit awaiting
still richer development in the time to
come'.r,
Tho.se words were addressed to eigh-ty-six,
jPrinceton ."-war -graduates," by
Doctor' Hibbeu. here this morning, as
he tjresen'edr'them with dinlomas. de
layed by the exigencies of the g-ent war.
A distinctive military atmosphere
rervaded the ceremony, which was one
which. Doctor Hibben said, nrobab'v
"would never be repeated in historv."
It wasthp first time in the recollection
of alumni that graduation exerciser
wer'ef ever held at any other time than
the spring of the year.
Among the eighty-six who received
diplomas were men who hud won the
liightst honors awarded by United
States or its allies for valor iu service.
Most of the men were officers and sev
eraKof them were numbered among the
acesjof the American Flying Corps.
-r- Gowns Not Worn by Class
The ceremony was informal and at
tended by u new dignity, in the absence
of the customary gowns of a senior
class. The spirit of the occasion was
unique in the annals of Old Nassau.
Their valedictorian did away with the
customary flourishes of the occasion in
a short, manly talk, and thanked the
university for the opportunity given his
Classmates to return for their dinlomas.
It was especially fitting that the ex
ercises were held in Nassau Hall, the
historic old meeting place of the Conti
nental Congress, now called the faeultv
room, with all its associations of the
Revolutionary War. Memories of Wash
ington. Lafayette. "Light Horse
Harry I.ee. Alexander Hamilton and
General Wintield Scott, filled the sur
roundings .Alexander M. Greene, hoUler of the
Croix de Guerre, a graduate of Penn
Charter Srhool, Philadelphia, was one
of the men to receive u dfp'oina.
A deeper note struck by the
dedication today of the Memorial Hall
in honor of the 1-1C Princeton men who

'OS. of Phi'ade'nhiu, commander of the

SEES ANOTHER GREAT WAR
1-notion between the urn- and the
uaw during the g-cut war was denied
bv Hear Admiral William S, Sims to
day before he left Phitadrfnhia for
Newport to return to his duties as
president of the Naval War College.
Admiral Sims departed immediately
aftei the Universitv Diy exercises of
the Lniversity of Pennsylvania at the
Academy of Music this morning, ut
which he received the degrco of doctor
of laws.
"Throughout the war," said Admiral
Sims, "the navy served as part of the
army an unusual thing iu a great war.
And there was harmonious co-operation
from beginning to end. Usually
one branch of the service gets to blam-
illlT the Other ill tho rmircn tf wn.
But there was nothing of that sort while
me l nueu states navy was serving
the army. It was the. most complete
co-ordination I ever heard of."
Letters Show Harmony
The admiral said that he had sent to
Senator Hale, of the Senate naval
committee, several letters written to
him in the spring of 1010 by General
Pershiug and others, showing that there
was harmony and understanding be
tween the army and navy, despite the
reports that Admiral Sims had charged
that the service of supplies had broken
down under war pressure.
When asked about the future of
League Island. Admiral Kims .-ij ),
his duties iu the navy did not keep him
in touch with the details of the work at
ine navy yard or the appropriations
needed.
As to Hog Island, he said : "It would
be impossible for the navy to use so
great a plant. The navy already has
ampie yicunies for doing its work."
Favors League of Nations
Admiral Sims expressed himself as
in favor of universal militnry training
ami ui u league oi nations.
He said that he would not express
an opinion coucerning the conditions of
the proposed League of Nations now
uuncr consideration In the Senate, then
added :
"If the world had established some
sort of a league of nations ten or fifteen
years ago, we might have escaped the
great war. Men who make a business
of studying war knew thnt a great con
flict was approaching, and if the na
tions had been in a position to meet
and discuss conditions from time to
time, it 'might have been possible to
have nrevented the disastrous contest,"'
While believing that u league' or na
tions would do much to prevent future
wars. Admiral Sims thought that this
rountry should take steps so as to be
prepared if forced unexpectedly into
another war.
Foresees Another War
When Admiral Sims was asked about
the predictions thut have been made
since the signing of the armistice that
another great war would come, he said :
"I, too, believe that there will be
another war, and do not wish to see
this country unprepared, as it was when
the struggle in Europe began. It -as
more than a year after we ac :lly
entered the war before we were n a
position to strike or to use any con
siderable part of the nation's strength."
"When will the new war come?"
he was asked.
"That I cannot say," replied the ad-

Attempted Robbery and HoldrUps
The attempted robbery of another
apartment house last night and two
holcf-ups have .resulted in redpubled
efforts by the police to round up bandits
who have been operating in various sec-
jons ot tne city.
The most daring hold-up occurred
tt the provision store of Joseph Mc
"jloskey. 924 Spring Garden street.
Shortly beforo midnight while he was
putting away the day's receipts two
men entered nnd questioned McCIoskey
concerning the address of a man sup
poed to live in the neighborhood.
McCIoskey was unabie to give the
address desired. One of the visitors
then drew u revolver nnd said: "Well,
then, you can give us your money."
He held the pistol under McCloskey's
nose.
McCIoskey laughed and told the men
to stop their joking. i
To prove that they meant business,
one of the men opened the door of a
refrigerator and thrust the proprietor
of the store in it. while the other - "
'-cH un nbout $500 in cash which Mc
CIoskey had been about to put away.
The bandits then left the store quietly
and sped off in an automobile.
Freed by Captain Kenny
McCloskey's shouts were heard by a
passcby. He informed Police Cap
tain Kenny, who was in the neighbor
hood, and the latter released McCIos
key, He was half frozen as a result
of his experience. It is believed tho
men were familiar with, the methods of
he proprietor of the place and also
with the neighborhood.
Prompt action of a watchman saved
the Latham Apartment House, Sev
enteenth and Walnut streets, from be
ing robbed by a negro. The man was
trying to force a door on the third floor
when he was discovered by David Mar
te''v. the night watchman.
Martelly seized tho robber by the
neck and a struggle followed. During
lie tiflit the vlHltnr mannpprl tn drnxv
a revolver nnd shot Martelly iu the right
leg. Leaving the watchman lying on
the floor the burglar escaped by a rear
stairway.
Sounds of the fight attracted several
tenants who scourid the neighborhood,
but no trace of the. thief could be found.
Martelly was sent to the Polyclinic

CLASH IN THE SENATE
Walsh Resents Question Sent to Fed
eral Trade Commission
Wash'ngton, Feb. 21. -(By A. P.)
Methods of inquiry adopted by the
Senate committee investigating the
Federal Trade Commission were attack
ed in the Senate today by Senator
Walsh, Democrat, of Montana, who de
clared "leading and unfair and "most
extraordinary" the question sent to
firms against which the commission had
issued restraining orders.
"If a consent oder was issued, did it
actually affect your acts or was it
entered to save the face of the commis
sion?" Senator Norris, ltcpublican, of Ne
braska, suggested that the committee's
method "was similar to trying a judgo
before n jury composed of criminals he
had sentenced."
Senator Townsend, chairman of the
committee, said that while no similar
question had been sent to those who had

Death has rung down the curtain in the
drama of "Love O' Mike," a babe
whose mother abandoned him and then
fought succcssfu'ly in the courts for his
return after another woman had claimed
him as her kidnapped son.
The heart of New York was touched
last December when" a' tiny mite of hu
manity wns left in tho Grand Central
terminal with u.note pinned to his clothing-saying:
" "
"For the love of Mike, take this kid."
The note nho bqt forth that the mother'
wns too poor t6 buy milk for the
child. The babe was taken to a hospital
and christened "Love O' Mike,"
A few days later a distracted womau.
Mrs. August "Went?, whose seven
weeks' -old buby. had been kidnapped.

husband also identified him. Mean
while, mother-love asserted itself nnd
the baby s mother, Mrs. Lena Lisa,
reclaimed her child.
The Wcntz s were loathe to return the
baby, court action followed and a Sol
omon-like justice awarded the laugh
ing, red-haired youngster to Mrs, Li.sa.

A SPECIMEN FOR THE COLLECTOR

tion for Forgery of County .
Political Loader
JUDGE JOHNSON HEARS CASE
Attorneys - for William S. Leib.
Schuylkill county political leader, todnv
n'skfd;for the settimj nside bf the "snltt
verdict" on which he was convicted
Inst -month nnd requested that Leib be
discharged.
,The request was made to Judge Al
bert V. Johnson in Room 653, City'
Ha)l, who presided nt the trial. which
resulted in LclbV conviction for for
gery) ho Schuylkill county leader was
acquitted of a chargo of'uttcribg and
nnhlinlifnr" forced documents
William A. Carr, of "counsel for the
petitioner, quoted ar dozen coses, the c
earliest dutlng back to 1803 in Eng- I
land in support of his pica that tho
verdict be dismissed.
Mr. Carr argued that all the evi
dence concerned with the alleged utter
ance of forgeries must bo disregarded
because the jury held his client guilt
less 'on' that charge. He contended the
other evidence was too weak to link
Leib with forgery committed in this
county.
Mr. Carr, in an address lasting one
hour, dwelt at length on the. testimony
of Webster I- Sfclchcr, u handwriting
expert. The witness, he said, had de
clared the writing On alleged forged tax
receipts to be bimilar to thatin u check
admittedly drawn by 'Leib.
The expert, Mr. Carr continued, ad
mitted he had reached his rnni-liisionR
by "short cuts" because he was com
pelled to examine four sets of papers in
twenty-four hours, where, ordinarily,
it requires a day to examine one set of
papers.
John F. Whnlen, of Pottsville, also
argued for the dismissal of Leib.
John Maurcr, assistant district at
torney, nnd William I. Swope, deputy
attorney general, took the position that
the Commonwealth, in trying the cusc
in Philadelphia county, had not enrcd.
They snid the alleged forgery had been
committed within the jurisdiction of the
court.
Judge Johnson heard nil the argu
ment, and then announcing that he
would review the testimony in the, case,
said he would render u written opinion,
Leib was accused of forging signa
tures of state employes on receipts for
taxes paid by the Merchant & Kvacs
Co., Twenty-first street and Washing
ton avenue, entrusted to him ns agent.
IJc was found guilty 'of forging the
names, but on the count alleging de
livery of the receipts to James Evans,
of the Merchant & Kvans concern, was
acquitted. Leib's defense wns a de
nial as to the first'eharge and an alibi
us to the second.
Judge Johnson, ns the presiding
jurist ut the trial, came down from his
home in Lewisburg specially to hear
Lcib's appeal today.
Conn lly May Run
for Congress Job
Continued from Fane One
will run for the btate Senate, but it is
regarded as virtually certain that he
wi'l enter the tight.
Surprise wnsexpressed, by Repre
sentative George P. Darrow at Wash
ington today when he was informed of
reports that he would "throw" his sup
port to Mayor Moore in the city elec
tions.
"I have always been for him," he
said. "There has been no change in
my position. T voted for Mr. Moore in
the primaries and voted for him in the
general election. I wore his campaign
button, told my friends I 'Svas for him,
and I am for him now. I am for the
"resent administration. I want to sec
Mayor Moore succeed. Every good
Philadelphian ought to feel the tame
way.
"It is surprising' that any other re
port of my attitude should become cut
rent. I supposed every one knew where
I stood."
Representative Costello wns less defi
nite in Btating his preference for Mayor
Moore and the present administration.
"I saw Mnyor Moore in Philad Iphia
yesterday, but our conference had no
political significance," he said. "Like
all good citizens of Philadelphia, I
should like to see his administration
succeed. I have known Mayor Moore
for years, nnd like him."
Representative Edmonds is another
member of the Philadelphia delegation
who was personally friendly to Mayor
Moore before the election and wishes the
administration well.
One member of the delegation in
Washington summarized the' attitude of
the Philadelphia's us follows:
"None of us was against 'Hampy.'
We were personally for him, although
we didn't go up and campaign for him.
We had been ussoeiated for years and
it would ,be impossible to conceive that
v,e would oppose him. Vare understood
that perfectly. He knew where we
stood. Of course we were for
'Hnmpy.' "
Administration leaders will be can,..
prised if Councilman Isaac D. Hetzell,
Vare leader of the Eighteenth ward!
docs not shortly break away from the
Vare organization iind specifically an
nounce his support of whoever the
Moore leaders indorse for Congress from

HEARST BOND IS $10,000
By the Awciated Press
Washington, fcb. 21. Recondition
ing of the thirty former German liners
and their operation by the goVernmcnt
in regular routes to South America,'
Europe and the Orient was urged today
by Chairman Jones, of the commerco
committee, in reporting to the Senate
a bill, approved by the committee, nro-
hibiting the s'ale of the craft until Con
grcss' had adopted permanent shipping
legislation.
"These- ships," the committee report
said, "aro urgently needed in our for
eign business. If the government con
tinues to own these ahips the 6crvicc
desired can and will be maintained.
T(iis assurance will develop business
and business agencies nnd doubtless
soon put the service upon a paying
basis and tho ships can tlieu very likely
be disposed of for all they cost, if not
more, under such restrictions and upon
such terms as will not only insure the
maintenance of the service, but their
continuance under our flag."
Senator Jones said he had intended
to ask for consideration of the bill to
day, but would withhold the request
until next week, to let senators study
the proposed international ugrcemont
regarding German shipping, scut to tho
Senate jesterday by President Wilson.
Senator Brandegee; Republican, of,.
Connecticut, in response to whose reso-
'ution the tentative agreement was .sent
in by the President, declared it bore
out the information on which be had
acted in asking the Senate to g;t. De
spite Mr. Wilson's denial that no agree-,
inent existed for disposition " ot tnu c
ship, Senator Brandegeo said the ten
tative agreement submitted directly af
fected the question before the Senate.
Associate .Jualce jJailcy. of the Dis
trict Supreme Court, today fixed at
510,000 the bond to be given by Wil
liam Randolph Hearst in his injunction
procei dings against the ship-ling board
to prevent the sale oi the linerH.
Counsel for the board Bald the gov
ernment's only expense in connection'
with the sale was $30.2S for circulars
sent to shipping interests.
At the request of government coun
sel Justice Bailey deferred signing the.
original injunction until Tuesday, so
counsel might confer over the terms.
