assistant professor of philosophy by tho
trustees of Dartmouth Colle, lias de
manded that a full retraction In wilting
bo made of tho charges which he nays
were preferred against him by President
Krnest Kox Nichols. Prof. Cox believes
that his unorthodox religious views
are tho reason he failed of reappoint

stir here, as he was one of the mo't
popular of the professors. He has said
that he doesn't want reinstatement, but
that he demands retraction of certain
statements that he believes reflect upon
him.
Pr. Cox waH formerly rector of an

was deimsed by Ulshop Hod Vincent

rational ilsherman I ever saw," up to
"tile tort of citizen Canada needs."
Wherefore long before the morning

had got Its real Impetus all the Thaw
of former days was beginning to assert
Itself. The kind words said In praise
of his mental accomplishments ns wit
Hens after witness took the stand seemed
to stimulate him to a new or rather
the old enthusiasm.
Soon he was giving out statement

his elbow during sessions In court nnd
as he strolled the corridors during a

newed vigor.
He wns no longer content to sit lu

Duly once, and that late In the day,
adverse news reached him when he
heard Deputy Attorney-General Cook
explaining to newspaper men In nnswer
to tluir questions that the Stato had
asked for and expected to obtnln a court
order to send a commission to Massa
chusetts to take the testimony of Presi
dent Eriicrltus Charles W. Pilot regird
Ing why Thaw retired so suddenly from
Harvard In 1592.
Thaw Instantly leaned over the press
I table to take a listening part In the talk
, between Mr. Cook and the reporters.
1 Immediately he began to Issue state
ments to the press table.
I "Wo understand." Mr. Cook had said
when asked about the commission, "that
I President Pilot one day called Thaw
, Into his otilce nt noon and told hlm
tlatl that he must get out of llarvaul
by 3 o'clock that afternoon. If that Is
so, we want to know why. Application
for the appointment of ii commission to
take President Pilot's testlmon has
been made and we shall know probably
lu the morning whether or not our re
que't will be granted."
"That," Hiild Thaw in one of the state
ments he Issued then upon, "shows that
Cook Is faking lu Ills sanity examliia-
1 tlon here. It Is the waving of the white
flag by Cook preparatory to surrender
Cook In running down a twenty-eir-oid
stoiy shows tliat he hasn't been able
to get any other evidence to present
here.
"Cook Is showing that he is vigilant
in thu Interest of Attorney-General
Woodbury," Thaw's statement went on.
"He's starting on a llslilng expedition
and that's all this commission he's going
to try to send to .Massachusetts amounts
to. It's untrue that Dr. Pilot culled me
to his ofllce at midday or noon and asked
me to leave the unlverslo at 3 P. .M.
What occuried I prefer to leave to
Dr. Pilot. I am quite willing to accept I

If the reason that Thaw left Harvard I

Cut and Robbed.

Aaed .Man Puts lp Hard Piulit
Tntil He Falls From
l,oss of Itlood.
Julm V, McCann. president of .1. F.
McCnim & Co., linen Importers of 24
White street, was taken to the Poly
clinic Ho-pltal enily lint evening In a
serious condition nfter an unidentified
man had attacked him with a hatchet
The assailant hud apparently been ly
ing In wait In the porler'x room, gaining
Ills entrance to the lavatory by means
of n duplicate key. He escaped after the
attack, although Mr. .McCann put up a
hard tight against him.
Mr. McCann left his homo at S Past
Sixty-sixth street about .1 o'clock nnd
walked through Central Park to the
Seventy-second street suWay station,
where he took a southlHitind train. Ho
got off nt the next station and entered
the lavatory, which wan empty. Scarcely
had hit got Inside before a man crept
up behind him from the porter's roum
and struck hlm. Tho weapon was tho
head of a lather's h itchet, a keen In
strument, which he held In his right
hand, lie hit Mr. McCann on the bead,
and thu Importer, although stunned by
the blow, grnppfed with him.
Tho thug hit his victim seven lows,
which cut gashes In the scalp and fuca.
meanwhile tearing Mr. McCann' ws.tch
and chain from Ids vet. Mr. SK'iiim
tried to choke his assailant, but the
man slashed his wrist.
The attack was seen in part by W II.
Trent, a colored porter who was rillv
ll.g the ticket chopp.r mi the n.ith
bound station. Ilu saw the door of the
lavatory open and the two tlgures grap
pling. Trent, however, did nut raise an
alarm. Tho screen In flout of tin1 u.mr
prevented the emplojees on the south
bound side fruui seeing wh.it was going
op. Thu thug finally rushed out thro'lgh
the porter's door, through the exit gate
and up to the street. J. J. I."cmn,
th'e chopper, had left his gate upeii,
which gave the fugitive an open path.
Agent Philip Hcudrlck saw the rar.n
rush by him and became suspicious n
his haste. Ho started to follow to the
street when Mr. McCann staggered cut
and fell unconscious on the floor of the
station.
Plght policemen from the Past Slvty
elghth street station entered the suhway
ut this time, detailed to the peace meet
ing at Madison Square Garden. They
called Or. MacMorrlf of Polyclinic Hos
pital, who took the injured man to that
Institution. His condition was said tn
be critical.
From the scant description given by
Agent Hetidrlck the assailant wa.s an
Italian laborer about five feet seven
Inches In height. Clut.iKd In Mr. Mr
Cann's grasp after the llcht was a hand
ful of dark brown nalr which lie had
torn from the man's 'tend.
It Is believed that tint attack wax not
planned on Mr. McCann srsonally. but
that tho assailant hid In the porter's
room to rob any one who entered the
lavatory and that Mr. McCaiui was the
llrst be saw. Tho hatchet head and a
key were, found In the porter's room by
the police. Trent, the porter, declared
that the door wns locked by hlm earlier
In the evening.

Prison Superintendent John I. Hlley
sent down three men from his olllce nt

Tho warden's friends declare that he

complaint about the warden's refusal to
comply with tho deslie of the State (

The Cover nor Is reported to have told

Warden (Nliorne said or did.
Conditions In tho prison arc said to
be bod. The warden Is declined to have
surrounded himself with n tpe of con

mi critical that the wonder of it Is there
