though possibly not in ! the twentieth
century, three nations, he said, would
not be included: England, because it
would combine instead with the United

a- great independent nation by itself,
and Turkey, because Jt would be ab

mor.ey from his family in- San Diego,

for gain, lie is the only son of a wid
owed mother, who win 'very poor
health, and these reasons are assigned
for the lenient action taken by univer-
Bity authoritiec. •

Hall was opened students who live
there have been pestered by thievery,
and although detectives we're employed
lo catch the thief he # had never been
apprehended.

two years and it is now believed that
many of the robberies might.be traced
to him. He was caught stealing books
by a fellow member of the ,hall. He
entered the room of this member, tak
ing $14 worth of books. "When accused
of the theft Rosencranz at first denied
it, but later he broke down and con
fessed his guilt.
