WANTED TO BE NEAR SICK
Girl Takes Poison to Have Her
Wish Gratified.
fßy TcJcprapli to Th* Tribune.]
Boston. May 22.— Because of a strange
passion lor the life about the cots of the
alefc and suffering;. Mary Kearney, seven
teen years old, took a dose, of poison, that
*he might be carried to her beloved hos
pital and become a spectator to scenes
among the sick. The case of the girl has
been -widely discussed by psychologist*;
»- -. men of learning. Miss Kearney if
said to he neither Huffermg from delu
sions nor any other sort of mental disor
der. They say that probably it was im
possible for toe child to restrain her ob
session once, it bad overwhelmed her, Of
her own view, the girl, who has nearly
recovered, thus speaks:
"It was my love for being in the hos
pital that, led me to take, poison. I had
been there before, and I was fascinated
with. the scenes that pass there every
day. I wanted'to go back. I wanted to
again b« permitted to help the doctors
and the nurses hold the bandages for the
injured people. I did not know of any
other way in -which to get back except
by making them take me back, and so I
took poison. I shall not again risk a
sickness to get back, but perhaps I shall
seek some other way of becoming a part
of that life. Perhaps I shall study to be
«. nurse — that Is what would please me
most. 1

ILLINOIS BRIBERY IMOUIRY
State's Attorney to Extend Scope
of Legislative Investigation.
Springfield. 11l , May 22. — In an effort to
ferret out the truth relative to th« alleged
use of money in the stale Legislature in
connection with local option legislation.
State's Attorney Burke yesterday sum
moned before the Sangamon County Grand
Jury fifteen persons. Among those who
will appear next Tuesday are James K.
Shields. h»Bd of the Illinois Anti-Saloon
T.<*agTje. and F-arneFt A. Scrogin, of this
city, who had charge of the interests of
the league during the last two cessions of
the Legislature. "
"While not divulging any of the evidence
which ha* been brought to his attention re
garding the local option legislation, Mr.
Burke admitted that he has become pos
sessed of such information as to warrant
a thorough Investigation of this, feature of
the matter.
During the forty-sixth Oneral Assembly
House Bill No. fis9 was introduced, repeal
ing the township feature of the local option
law. The local option men and the liquor
Interests were equally active in tbe flght
on this bill.
A diary kept throughout the session* by
Mr. Scrogin is expected to jield valuable
evidence. In this diary Mr. Scrogin kept a
record of the attitude of each member,
especially just what each member of the
House License Committee had to say re
garding the bill and other details in con
nection with the measure's progress
through th e lower house. The bill finally
parsed the House, but was defeated in the
Senatf.
Mr. Burke yesterday received bulletins
issued by the Illinois Manufacturers' As
sociation during the last session of the
Legislature. These bulletins are expected
to show the attitude of the association
toward various bills, some of which were
regarded as inimical to the interests of the
association and others as beneficial."
The investigation into the furniture con
tract, whereby the House and Senate were
to be furnished with new desks and chairs,
will be resumed to-morrow, and this phase
of the inquiry gives promise of the most
immediate results. That indictments will
be returned a s a result of this investiga
tion sterns assured.
Representative Pierson, of Willmette, sec
retary of tbe committee which negotiated
the deal, will be a witness before the grand
jury. The testimony oasts no reflection
upon Mr. Pierson.
States Attorney Burke yesterday re
ceived a letter from Janus Torrent, of St.
Ix>ui=. formerly salesman for the A. H.
Andrews Company, of Chicago, one of the
unsuccessful bidders on the furniture con
tract, stating that he would bo here on
Monday. F. W. Alger, salesman for the
B. N. Stafford Manufacturing- i 'orapany, of
Chicago, also one of the bidders, tele
graphed that he would appear before the
grand jury to-morrow and tell what he
knows regarding the deal.

LOADING PATTEN'S COTTON
50,000 Bales Afloat by June 15,
Steamboat Men Believe.
According to several steamship men who
have handled large cotton shipments from
this port to Bremen, Liverpool and Havre,
there is little chance that James A. Patten
will be unable to ship his order of fifty
thousand bales, to the spinnors -of "Europe
before the middle of June. It had been re
ported that Mr. Patten had sold fifty thou
sand bales at a profit of from three to six
cents a pound, but that through his inabil
ity to get chins JA. carry it within the next
two weeks be would be unable to deliver
to the spinners abroad.
It was learned yesterday that Mr. .Pat
ten had arranged to ship sixty-eight hun
dred bales on the North German Lloyd liner
George Washington on June 9. and that the
steamship Victorious, which went yesterday
to Philadelphia, would return within a few
days and take about eight ihousand bal.-s
of the Patten cotton to Liverpool. It is
generally believed among steamship men
that Mr. Fatten will have his fifty thousand
bales on the high seas before the middle of
June.
According to one shipper, it lias beeij,.. er
roneously rumored that the- cotton would
have to be shipped before th« end of May.
This he paid wag a mistake, as the cotton
would be acceptable if it cleared this port
on or about the middle of June. .. .. ....
COTTON BOUGHT ABROAD
America's Purchases Three Per Cent
of Total Consumption.
"Washington. May 22. ■- Notwithstanding
the fact that the United States produces
three-fourths, of the world's cotton, manu
facturers here have drawn raw cotton from
every grand divisor and nearly a score of
countries and inlands during the current
fiscal year, according to a report of the
Department of Commerce and Labor.
Asia, Africa, the islands of the Pacific,
South America, North America and the
islands of the: Caribbean Sea have con
tributed to the supply, while Europe has
forwarded large amounts of cotton im
ported from various parts of the world
and re-exported to the United States.
Of the 42,000,000 pounds of cotton of for
eign production imported In the first four
months of tho current y«»ar 30,000,OfK) pounds
came from Egypt. 5,000,000 pounds from
India, 3.500.000 pounds from China and 2,
000,000 pounds from other foreign countries.
The consumption of domestic cotton has
grown from 513,000,000 pounds in 1870 to
2.600.0 pounds in 1?0S, the latest avail
able statistics. The share which foreign
cotton has in domestic consumption is
about 3 per cent

ROBBERS AT N. Y. C. STATION
Break in and Carry Off Money and
Postage Stamps at Mount Hope.
Burglars entered the postofflce .in . the

on the Putnam Division, early yesterday
morning', and after ransacking- the station,
gathering up a few stamped envelopes,
i postage stamps and taking the petty cash
in both the ticket office and posU>mee
drawers, made a hasty retreat just as a
passerby reached the building. Access was
gained by prying open th« rear station
door with a jimmy.
An organized gang of thieves have l:een
committing periodical robberies at picked
stations along the Putnam for a long time,
and so clever have been their operations
that it was difficult to apprehend them.

official notification of the "grift was still
lacking, and until he received.it he did
not care to make any statement In re
gard to the bequest. The final disposi

trustees, of which M.' Taylor Pyne,'79,
is the chairman. The latter at present
also refuses to say anything about the
bequest. : . . • ;

DEAN WEST GETS CREDIT
Princeton Trustee. Ascribes Wy
man Gift to His Efforts.--.
Henry Woodhull Green, of Trenton, ■ :
j trust»« of Princeton University, said • «■«
j terday that a a result of th* bequest,
j estimated at $10,000,000, mada by Isaac
IC. Wymaa. of Salem. Mass.,, to. the
I Princeton Graduate School , the latter
would be built en the golf links sits se
lected by Dean Andrew F. West. It. was
the rejection of this e't<=, opposed by
President Weodrow "Wilson, that led to
the withdrawal by TVillJam Cooper Proc
ter, of Cincinnati, of his conditional offer
of 1500,000. and which in turn directed
against President Wilson the indignation
of many of the Princeton alumni. It was !
understood, too, that the relations be
tween Dean West and President Wilson
were considerably strained.
Dean West's efforts are responsible for
th* magnificent Wyman bequest, as well
as for the. Procter offer, and in Mr. Wy- .
man's will he is named as a trustee with I
John M. Raymond, of Salem, with almost
absolute power to dispose of the millions
for the benefit of the graduate school.
Expects Him to Remain Dean.
I
"Whether Dean West Is an executor of
th« estate as well as a trustee of the
money left to Princeton I can't say defi- j
nitely," said Mr. Green. "The question i
is an important one, too. He will have 1
very largely in his hands the administra- ;
tion of the property left to the graduate j
school. 1 imagine Mr. Raymond will give
him practically unlimited authority. Of
course, the chances are that he will re- 1
main dean of the school, as at present, |
but that will depend upon future cir- j
cumstances."
; Mr. Green was very plainly delighted !
over the prospect uncovered by the gift i
and its conditions. When it was sug- J
gested that probably all the alumni were j
overjoyed, too, he exclaimed :
"Well, are they?"
"The trustees are extremely glad," he
went on, "that this gift has come to
crown the efforts of Professor West in |
behalf of the graduate school, covering a 1
number of years. It was very clearly
obtained by him. He was the man to see
Mr. Wyman an 4to point out the op
portunity offered of doing a great public
service. Whether he suggested the be
quest or Mr. Wyman volunteered it, I
don't know. But that is immaterial. I
don't think you can speak too warmly of
Dean West's work and devotion."
President Wilson's Situation.
Mr. screen was asked what President
Wilson's probable attitude would be, and
! replied:
"No one can tell until he makes his
first move. There has been no meeting
of the trustees since the bequest was an
nounced, and President Wilson hasn't yet
said a thing on the subject. He will find
it difficult to find anything to say. You
can see that it is rather a delicate situa
tion for him.'
"It is most unfortunate that the Proc
ter gift was not accepted before this
one came. Mr. Procter wanted to do the
handsome thing, and It" 1 did, but his plans
were blocked. Just -what happened was
never more clearly and succinctly "stated
than in The Tribune this morning. I
have shown your article to th« alumni
and officers in and near Trenton and
they were all delighted with it. The gen
eral public and many alumni throughout
the West have been a little in the dark
with regard to the withdrawal of the
Procter offer and the controversy sur
rounding It. That article ought to give
them Just the information they want."
Views of Wyman's Classmate.
Henry C. Pitney, of Morristown, a ;
classmate at Princeton of Mr. Wyman,
said last night that he had the honor of
being slightly influential In obtaining
the bequest for the grafluate school. But
most of the glory, he added, belonged to
Dean West
Asked if he understood that Mr. Wy- |
man favored Dean West's plan for the I
; school over that entertained by President
Wilson, he said he hadn't any idea, and
furthermore he couldn't prophesy what
kind of a school, would result.
"I don't think he had the remotest '■
preference," said the aged classmate, re
ferring to Mr. Wyman. "T don't under
stand myself that there is any difference
in the plans proposed. T have come to j
this conclusion after reading and hearing
all sides of the question. All the talk
about it is humbug. There isn't any dif
ference."
Wilson Farrand. of South Orange,
chairman of the trustees' committee, said
that the actual method by which the
money would be put into use had not yet
been decided upon.
"While pome of us have known for
some months that this gift would be
made," he said last night, "we could not
tell when the money would be available.
About the only details that most of us j
know have been learned through the
columns of the newspapers. Of course,
as you can imagine, we ar« highly elat
ed. It is a great thing for Princeton.
We hope that it will settle all cur diffi
j culties."
Gulick Speaks for Alumni.
Alexander R. Gulick, president' of thfi
Princeton - Club, said that the. alumni
whom he met yesterday were all ex
tremely pleased with the gift.
"You know, Princeton men are enthus
iastic." he said, "and they seem to feel
that this will help the university in every
way."
Previously having productive, funds
aggregating $4,168,900, Princeton was
not far down in The list of American
educational institutions so far as endow
ments were concerned.
The Wyman bequest completely changes
this feature of the case, placing Prince
ton far ahead of many that up to this
time led her in wealth and making: her

IDEAL GRADUATE COLLEGE
Dean West's Plan Was at First |
Approved by President Wilson. |
In a letter, published In February, to an j
alumnus who had Inquired about his ideal !
of a graduate college, Dean Andrew F. I
"West -v, rot«; — » — -- — - — •—~ '~-' '■>&—**-***■*? \
The graduate college T have desired, still i
desire and shall ever desire for Princeton
is a, first class residential college, devoted ,
solely to th© higher liberal studies, on top
of a sound college education such as Prince- j
ton now provides. This projected graduate ;
"college has two necessary elements: s
A body of well endowed professorship*,
to be occupied only by the best professors >
pr6curabl«\ reinforced by others already in
tho faculty, is the one true foundation on
which the graduate college may be built
in a manner which will insure both fa im- J
mediate and its enduring success, With- (
out this, architecture and gardens, even
fellowships and students, will be wholly in- |
sufficient, because the central inspiration
will be lacking:.
While a body of interesting and eminent
professors is» the essential thing as the
foundation for all else, the environment in
which these professors are to live and work
is the deciding factor in the problem of
obtaining them. It is for this reason that '
the proposed system of fellowships is neces
sary in order to secure a nucleus of stu- j
dents 'or such professors, and the buildings i
of the graduate college are an equal neces- [
sity In order to provide th» material home j
in "which the community shall find the full j
realization of its best desires. j
Of course, it goes without saying, or at I
least ought to go without saying, that so
cial eligibility- is not the test of admission
to residence in the Graduate College. Such
a test would he silly, snobbish and wrong.
The test of admission is intellectual and
moral worth. I do want to sco our Grad
uate College composed of students of high j
ability and strong, personal power. I am ;
proposing a democracy of merit, and merit
should be the on* and only test.
I think the buildings ought to be dignified
and beautiful— as good a3 our recent build
ings for undergraduates— such as Campbell
Hall and .Sage Hall. If Princeton Univer
sity houses it* graduate students with any :
less dignity of architecture or beauty of <
campus surroundings than are provided for '
undergraduates the undergraduates will
not think the university holds graduate
students in any high esteem.
Then, too. I think the buildings of the
Graduate College* should be placed in spa
cious surroundings, with plenty of room for
future expansion. They should also. In my ■
judgment, not be placed in the middle of |
the undergraduate life, but should* be suffi
ciently separated from the central part of
the campus to make it. certain that the resi
dential life of the graduate students will
be developed In an atmosphere of purely
graduate interests, and at the Fame time
should not be so far removed as to inter
fere with the daily resort to the libraries,
laboratories, seminaries and classrooms on
the central campus, where the graduate
students have their scholastic exercises.
Briefly, then, my ideal of the graduate
college is a body of absolutely first class
professors as the foundation for »I 1 • '--■
Then a body of graduate students of high
ability, living in buildings ot the graduate
college, which should be just as good archi
tecturally as our recent buildings for un
dergraduates, and all placed enough aside
from the rush of undergraduate life to in
sure the development of a really graduate
tone, and yet not so far away as to Inter
fere with th» daily resort of graduate stu
dents to the classrooms, libraries, labora
tories and seminaries on the central cam
pus.
Finally, while this degree of residential
separation— for that is all I propose — would
set the residential home of graduate stu- 1
dents in a tranquil environment apart from '
<■':■ whirl of undergraduate distractions, it
would not mean remoteness and isolation- :
for the graduate college would be visible .
and freely accessible to the visits of under- i
graduates. In the sense above stated, and '
only In that sense, do I propose that the
graduate college stall '-« -=-.', v . ...
arate. But I neither propose nor favor any
other separation. ■*
There will be no scholastic separation
because the graduate students, as well as
the undargraduates. will have the same
buildings on the central campus. And there
will be no administrative separation, be
cause the graduate college is and must b*
an Integral part of Princeton Universltv.
and. like every other part.* subject to the
control of the trustees ■■: the university
Do I need to •* do not for you, lam
sure— that the graduate, college is to be de
voted to severe and high studies, and that
its supreme, object is to furnish a body of
highly trained, powerful and pure-minded
intellectual and moral leaders for our uni
versity life ami th«- Mnrto* of our country"
In January. IMS.- Dean West submitted his
report to President Wilson, who revised It
On February 17 President Wilson wrote a
commendatory preface to the report, which
was then printed with his approval. The
preface by President Wilson is as follows:
