asked me and I will tell vou the answer.
In conclusion, let me say that the exagger

untruthful messages sent to American

hurt the situation in many ways."
Karly this morning the Americans
here became ularmed at the possibility
of trouble at Juarez and a notice was sent
nut that at the first news of trouble there
hich would involve tho United States
nil Americans should arm themselves
nnd go to the Colonia Roma, n suburb
"vheie many of thetn live. They have

Two big Swnlsh clubs have invited the
Americans to join them, as they fear
the Mexicans' anger oh much tih the Amer
icans do. The Naniards havo their
clubs fortified with ammunition piled
r.cross tho billiurd table. One of the
club buildings is of solid stone wall three
t lories high and is as good u u fortress.
Mobs of the lower classes, newsboys

the streets in restless fashion, but are
fiaylng nothing. Thu policemen make no

tension is strong. It is believed that the

situation is dangerous.

lieved tiio presen. military forcn on tho

city. With the customs port of Juarez
now completely In the hands of tho rehels
it appears pr.icticallv .-ertaln that a large
amount of ammunition and other supplies
will Imi obtain is I from the United States
without interference. The American au
thorities appear to have no warrant for
attempting to prevent the regnhr ship
ment of such materials through regular
channel Into Mexico, It remaining for
the Mexican Government to act as its
own censor in the mntter.
For several days th rebels have been
In possession of" the port of Palomns,
through which It is expected large, ship
ments of military supplies liavo been
made. A new menace, to the Mexican
situation accordingly arises in that the
rehcls will now obtain arms for tho prose
cution of a general campaign.
Tho Mndero Government has been re
peatedly and emphatically warned that
there must bo tut tiring noross tho line.
It was asked, in order lo prevent this,
that a neutral 7ono be established. The

through Consul Kdwards. Gen. Campa

asked Mr. Kdwards to notify all foreign

SH-H! ON THAI TALK
OF THIS NEW UNIVERSITY
I'lcasc Cease nndinnge mill Oblige
Arninnd Spenser, Court
Inlcrnrclcr.
HE IS AN INCORPORATOR
But CSne IN.s Nnme, lie Sajs, Just to
Oblige Columblnn's Sponsor, a
Newark Jeweller.
Please, pleaso bo so kind as to say
nothing about tlmt Columbian University
business over In tho homo of Victor Mint
at 08 Elm street, Newark. Please
sh-h-h on all tliat Faculty of American
Dentistry which goes with the Columbian
University business and oblige yours
truly, Armand Spcriw r, court Interpreter
in tho Kighth District Municipal Court
up In Harlem.
It hurts Mr. Kpcnser in his business,
this talk alxmt thu Columbian University
business ho said to ery earnostly yes
terday ami just becauo ho allowed
his name and that of his brother Jacques
to go down as incorporatcrs when,u cliar
ter won upplicd for from tho Stnto of
Now Jorsey ho gets from all sides all this
talk about a utiivorsity, whoso offico Is
in the back sitting room ot Mr. Mint,
u Newark jowellcr. Nothing nothing In
It' Take tho word of Mr. Hiwnser. given
yesterday with pleading sincerity.
In tho first week of February when
notice of the Incorporation of tho Colum
bian University In New Jersey was pub
lished a HUN representative, desiring to
know more about the scope and alms of tho
now institution of learning, went to tho
homo of Mr. Mint, who said ho was only
"resident agent" of tho university and
that Armand Spenser was its swretttry,
and outlined tho plans which ho 'and Mr.
Sjienser had entered upon for raising
funds for tho nowly Incorporated uni
versity. Ho said tliat quarters for the insti
tution would bo located In Newark, that
courses would begin some timo in the
coming November, most likely, and tliat
several doctors of medicine and dental
surgery, three of whom he mentioned by
name, would constltuto the nucleus or
tho teaching start. The Faculty of
AmoricanSJentlitry, part of tho name if
the incorporated institution, was not
to bo a faculty at all, tho pedagogicully
inclined Newark jeweller explained: that
was tho name ot a proposed publication
devoted to the scheme of uniform license
regulations for dentists throughout all
Mates.
When he was pressed for details as to
how money to finance, the university was
to be raised Mr. Mint slid hu believed
Spcnsor had all that in charge. Ho was
jcerlain, however, that none of the five
incorporators, of whom Alexander Ito
natilt. a hoarder with tho Mintz family,
and Morris M. Frohlicii completetd tho
list, intended to sell stock or bonds of
the university to raise the funds neces
sary through lack of an endowment.
Spenser, so Mintz said, was the man who
knew most aliout what was going to hap
pen, but Mint did not know where Spenser
could lo found.
Thk Sti.v located Spenser yesterday.
He holds the pl.ice of French and Italian
interpreter of Uie Eighth Municipal Court
and hu lives ut 70 hast llBth street. He
was certified to by tho Civil Service Com
mission after examination und received
his uppolntment to his present position
October 10, 1910. by Judges Princo and
twyer of tho Municipal Court Judges'
board. Tho job carries il, Sty) a year
and Spenser's tenure was not affected by
the fact that ho was disluirrcd a year after
his uppoiutmcnt on the complaint of
liaymond Couchet Cesfourges of Paris
that Spenser had failed Ui turn in an
accounting on a bill collected by him
upon the Paris lawyer's request.
Tho court Interpreter, who U French,
waved his hands in expostulation yes
terday when he was asked how tho affairs
of the Columbian University, as ho knew
them, wero progressing.
"Ah, do not uk me," he said. "I
have nothing to do with that liiHinnss,
absolutely nothing. It is dead, dead,
dead. And yet everybody is saying to
me, 'Vou are an incorporator of a bum
university."
Spenser was nked if that charge was
not a fact.
"Of a univorsity. yes: but of a bum
university, decidedly no. How can It bo
a imm university nen u is not even
started? Iiisten: They, the three of them.
Mint?, and Ills hoarder, Henault, and
Frohlich, sent application to tho Secre
of State of New Jorsey for incorporation
us the Columbian University and Faculty
of American Dentistry. Iho application
comeshnck with tho command t lint they
must Imi five signers, not three. I and
my brother Jacques, w hu is now suffering
from two blows in the eyes by a blackjack
and a holdup man. we were friends of these
three and to Imi friendly- that is, all we
signed as inuorporatois. All, positively
nil, my connection with tho university
is that. I signed.
"No, I am not secretary; there is no
secretary, no president, no nothing, but
five trustees of which I am one. No,
there is no money, positively not.
"To sell lionds, thut is impossible under
the Jersey law, believo me. We are selling
no bonds, no stocks. Nor ant we going
to sell diploma, How could wo sell
diplomat when have no university?"
Spenser beenmo considerably agitated
when he was pressed to tell hy incor
poration was sought if organization and
profits, even intellectual profits, did not
follow thu granting of the charier.
"Ask me I say' I know nothing. Yes,
something the university was to lie
endowinl, Yes, that was it. You see,
Aloxander Henault thought he was going
to receive a large legacy und with that
ho would endow the university Ho got
the legacy all right, but it is all mortgaged
and has debts hanging all over it and
thero was, consequently, no money for
endowing thu university. So now tho
thing is dead and unless it is started
in two years the charter will bo revoked."
Before he went back in the court room
Spenser said tliat ho was going to write
to tho Now Jersey Secretary of State or
somebody and tell him to scrntch his name,
off that fist of Incorporators. Everybody
talking ubout u hum university; ho'd heard
enough!

CUNARDERS TO SAIL AT 1 A. M.
" i
f.uMtanla Started the Plan This Morning
Sale Half u Day by It,
For the Unit time In the history of
transatlantic .sailing a line big liner
left this port at I o'clock this murnlng
j and she will con 1 1 nun to do so through
the year and perhaps Imh flnltcl. She
Is tho Cutiurdcr Lusltanla, and her sis
ter ship, the Mnurctnnlu, will do like
wire. The lino believes that passengers
will gain nearly half a day by the new
project, landing at Fishguard Just after
breakfast time, and reaching Londay In
time for lunch. In fair weather, even
over the long route, they will bo nblo to
hu In Purls, Uru.ssela and Liverpool the
same ccnlng.
This Innovation ban been mado pos
sible through tho creation of tho deep
and wide Ambrose Channel und tho il
lumination thereof so that even an
amateur pilot might tako tho big, deep
draught liner to sea. It will bo no dif
ferent bo far as tho safet of the ship
goes than sailing in broad daylight.
Ships come up now long utter dark und
there eeemed to the Cunard experts no
reason why they should not sail then.
Heretofore tho fastest twin merchant
men afloat huvo left port more than
eight houra later than tho new schedule
and consequently were late In artlvlng
at Fishguard, tho passcngern sometimes
Ulsemburklng late In the evening.
To celebruto tho Mrst departure of the
liner tho boss French chef ot tho quar
tet tho Lusltanla employs got up a
special "menu du souper" hnd most of
the 325 saloon passengers sat down to
It between 10 nnd 12 o'clock last night.
Many invited frienda to dlao with them
and i tho street In front of tho pier
looked a hit like a sceno outsldo tho
opera house. The saloon wan decorated
with American und llrltlsn Hags. Half
u dozen groups of passengers gave spe
cial suppers to their friends.
A lurge number came from far away
cities and shipped their baggage ahead
so they could go to the theatre or opera
and Immediately thereafter, at the ex
pense of tho Cunard line, tuko tint sup
per they usually have In u rcstuurant.
Under the old schcdulo' passengers from
other cities stopped hero a,! night at a
hotel und got up early on tho sailing
day to catch the ship. This was bother
some to loto risers.
Everybody was asked to come aboard
not later than midnight, but some gay
ones did not do so, und some of the
guests of tho voyagers did not get nwuy
from the ship until shortly before sho
departed.
THE LADY AND THE BURGLAR.
Husty Note Dropped From a Window
Leads to u Capture and a Shooting.
A very small girl went legging it dpwn
East Fifty-llrbt street yesterday afternoon
waving a piece or pujier in her hund. She
panted up to Policemen Malnwaring and
Tierney who were guiding Bchool children
ucross First uenue and pushed the paper
In Malnwaring's list. Tho pajier was
Tedded and addressed on tho outside to
"Mr. Policeman." Inside wus this note:
Dr.Ar. OmcKru 1 here are two men on n.r
roor I think they are burglars. One or
tliem has on a mixed gray suit and wears a
peaked hut. Th othur luis a blue suit and a
black derby. T!i0 cops cot this far and
began to run. As the y ran they lead the
rest. 1 hoy are golne to the big Mats. Yours
'"baste. Mrs..!, Cannon.
405 East Fifty-first Street.
The big flats" are the apartments that
run from 418 to 8 East Fifty-first street
and thither the policemen sped, with th
liearer of tho message hopping up and
down In front of them and the writer of
tho note leaning out of tho window and
beckoning them on,
Tierney got there first and dlvfng into
tho front door or 418 he yelled to Main
waring to go up to the roor or 422. In
the dark hall Tierney ran plump into u
young man in haste who woie a mixed
gray suit and a peaked hut. Him Tierney
seized. Tierney's prisoner was n little
lellow and Tierney has to stoop to get
into a subway cur. so he simply took hi
man by the scruff of a frightened neck
and lugged him skyward.
As the two emerged through the scuttle
Tierney saw a man in a blue suit and u
derby hut disappearing over tho roofs.
The cop slammed gray suit down, sat on
him and took a potshot ut tho vanishing
blue. He su)V. he thinks he hit his man,
for tho latter clipped a hand to his side
as hu hurdled a low roof partition and
bellowed what sounded like "Ouch,"
But gray suit wouldn't be dragged any
further, and Tierney hnd to watch a
black derby.shoot down an open scuttle.
A moment later Mainwaring, who hail
found a locked scuttle over tho nmf
of the apartment ho had chosen, stuck
his head up. But he was too late.
Tierney, with all the neighlorhood
including tlie proud Mrs. Gannon, who
had written the note ut the first sight
of the burglars and dropped it from tlie
third floor window down to the little
girl on the street below, went around
to the East Firty-lirst street police sta
tion, where the prisoner, who said he
was Frederick Clarke of 44 Sands street,
Brooklyn, wus locked up. Pretty soon
Mrs. Alice Steuben of 428 East Fifty
tirst street caino to the station house
and said that her flat hud been looted.
They brought Clarke out und in his
pocket n they found a safety ra7or tliat
Mrs. Steuben said te!ongcd to her hus

the Minerva and Thursday Morning
clubs of Manhattan cheered and clapped
their hands when a jury in tlie Supremo
Court this afternoon awarded a separa
tion to Mrs liawrenceE, Townsend on the
ground that her husband hud tried to put
her in an asylum. Mrs. Townsend con
tended that this action of Mr. Townsend

kissed Mrs, Townsend ami every club
member insisted on shaking tho hands
of all tho jurors,
Mr. Townsend called in his behalf five
physicians, among then Dr. Charles
Unna of Manhattan, and all of them testi
fied that the plaintiff wus of unsound
mind when they examined her in 1911.
The plaintiff to offset this testimony
called h number of her women com-
? anions and Dr. D. B. (Sheldon of New
ork. who testified that they had never
seen Mrs. Townsend do anything Indicat
ing that she v as irrational. Mrs. Olive
AV, Finer testified that last year when
her baby was seriously ill and strychnine
won prescribed for it she called In Mrs.
Townsend to help her care for the child.
"Was Mrs. Townsend rational or irra
tional?" she as asked.
"I wouldn't have called in any irrational

wus advised to wait, inasmuch as she
was well supplied with funds.

the Storm Blows Over.
Washington, Feb. 27. The announce
ment was made hero to-night by the Roose
velt people that no fight will be waged
against President Tuft in his home dis
trict in Ohio. This is the First, or Cin
cinnati district. A good many people
receivo tins announcement wnn a smile
as if t he Colonel were attempting to make a
virtue of necessity.
Nicholas Longworth, tho Colonel's son-in-law,
halls from this district and he is
already openly committed to Taft. Mr.
Longworth accordingly finds himself in
an embarrassing situation. He saw the
Colonel in Boston the other day and re
turned hern this morning. When asked
on what side of the fence he was going to
jump he said:
"I shall nor participate in tho selection
of delegates to tho Republican national
convention and I shall not bo a candidate
for delegate myself."
Tills means that Mr. Longworth, like
Henry Cabot Lodge, will crawl into his
cyclone collar and remain there while the
storm Is on.
