October 1G The delegates attending the dedication of New York State's new education building here today listened to interesting addresses on various phases of higher learning. The morning session was devoted to tho general subject, Extension and Private Schools," with talks by Dr. Charles Richard VanHJse, president ot the University of Wisconsin, and Dr. William Starr Myers, a member of tho taculty of Princeton University. In the afternoon the subject of universities and professional schools was to Do considered in addresses by Dr.

Nicholas Murray Butler, president of olumbia University, and Dr. Heury S. Pr c.iett, president of tne Carnegie Foundation, New York. A feature of tne afternoon programme was an address nn tn elaborate programme has been I had never met, and It was a solicitation mapped out for the two days during which the visiting foreigners will be the city's guests. to subscribe to two magazines which the company published.

At that time I did not know that this case was on the calendar, but the publishing company did. "Now, why. In view of this approaching case, was that letter sent to me?" Two Jobs In the county clerk's office, worth 2,500 and $2,000 a year, were recovered by the Democrats of Kings County through a decision of the Court of Appeals, handed down at Albany yesterday efttrnoon. The Jobs are thoBe of chief clerk of the law department, from which Peter Donnelly was ousted by County Clerk Charles S. Devoy last New Years, and that of chief clerk of certificates, a position held until the Democrats went out of power last year, by James Bell.

No opinion was written by the Court of Appeals. The decision appeared in the form of a reafllrmance of an order granted by Supreme Court Justice William J. Kelly of Kings County, which granted a writ of peremptory mandamus, compelling Mr. Devoy to reinstate the two Democrats that he had ousted in favor of two stanch Republicans, David stone, who comes from the First Assembly District, and an East New York man named Hallowell. The salaries of Stone and Hallowell have been hold up during the entire term of their service, and the decision of the Court of Appeals carries with it, according to county Clerk Devoy, a provision that the two Democrats are entitled to tho full year's salary.

In order All of the visitors are men of promi of the most interesting figures in the t'nitcd States will be retired to private life. Knute Nelson's expected declaration for Taft and the Republican ticket will not signify that he Is in accord with the President. It will simply mean that Nelson wants to preserve the Republican party in his own State, wants the pres-en Governor re-elected and wants a Republican Legislature, which will again feud him to the Senate. The Minnesota State situation is complicated by a Progressive ticket, headed by Paul V. Collins, the editor of an agricultural paper, for Governor.

Collins is not the sort of a name calculated to make a strong appeal to Scandinavian Minnesota. For a while it was thought that the third party, If it ran a State ticket, would put up Jacob Jacobson at Its head. The trouble with The Democratic National Campaign Committee was in session today, principally occupied with a discussion of the effect upon the presidential contest of the shooting of Colonel Roosevelt. It was denied at the national headquarters that the meeting was called for this purpose, the announcement being made that the call had been sent out a week ago. Nevertheless, it was regarded by the Democrats as a timely call.

Nearly everybody at Democratic national headquarters admits that the assault on Roosevelt produces a change in the situation. They claim that it works no injury to Wilson, but that it will swing votes to the Colonel at the expense of President Taft. This Is particularly the view of the Eastern Democratic managers. The Western men do not agree with it. The Westerners, as a whole, have never agreed with the Eastern view that Roosevelt was losing and Taft gaining.

Almost to a man they have tried to Impress upon the Eastern-erg that the fight. In their opinion, was between Wilson and Roosevelt. The Eastern men In large numbers now concede that that may also be true in the East, for they think the attempted assassination of Colonel Roosevelt will gain him much support. They cannot see how It will swing any Democratic votes to him, but it Is a fact that the cam To this Implication that someone had been trying to influence Judge Mdddox In this case the attorney could give no residence, kastern Parkway, and funeral services will be held at 8 o'clock Friday evening at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.

Mr. Held gpoke a his capacity as Chancellor of the University of the Stato of New York. Ho reviewed the educational work of tho State, and expressed thanks to all those who had aided the State in restoring the contents of Its great library, which was alinnst destroyed more than a year ago by (ire. "We are proud that this splendid provision for our work began, or emed to us to begin," he said, "as a sign of the State's satisfaction with the unity ot educational effort through all Hs border which it had at last attained. Its purpose! baa constantly been to secure efficiency by centralizing anel co-ordinating all Its educational work." "Let me acknowledge," he continued, "tho helpful sympathy from lovers ot books Rnd of libraries throughout our own country, and particularly the spontaneous and inspiring readiness of friends abroad, to replace old- gifts.

I should iilce to speak especially of the Important nnd hnndnoine restorations of thin kind from tho British Government, arj ilso from tho Prltlsh Museum." President Butler of Columbia Praises Hamilton. The address of President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University this afternoon was In part as follows: "The constructive spirit of Alexander Hamilton broods over this place. Whether or not bo was the first to conceive the notion of a State system of education in which every Interest an I every type and form of Instruction was to be Included, makes little difference. Whether he himself worked out the plan for the New York systm of education, or whether he only aided end guided others in working it out. Is a matter of no present imponanee.

His philosophic insight, his broad vision and his practical capacity are all represented and reflected In what this great building stands for and celebrates. That the framework of the educational system of the State of New York embodies the re pursue In regard to the court decision. County Clerk Devoy said: "All I can do is to send those men word to come to work. I am a law-abiding citizen. It was my honest and frank belief that those positions were exempt and that I had the right remove the men.

The caase of Donnelly, who lives In Bay Ridge, was made a test case. Through his counsel, William F. Hagarty of 26 Court street, he brought an action against Devoy, first in the Supreme Court, and when the County Clerk appealed from the decision in Donnellys favor by Justice Kelly, the matter was carried all the way to the Court of Appeals. The decisions were in favor of Donnelly In each Instance. A writ of mandamus for the reinstatement of James Bell was granted by Supreme Court Justice Marean upon the application of Mr.

Hagarty, but it was allowed to abide the outcome of the Donnelly case. The matter was first heard before the Supreme Court, at a special term for motions. Justice Kelly presiding. Mr. Devoy appeared by his counsel.

Hugo Hlrsch. Donnelly claimed that he had been removed In violation of the Civil Service law and, In granting the writ of Justice Kelly said In part: "Can It be questioned that, notwithstanding the constitutional character of the office of County Clerk, the Legislature may still provide how It shall be managed? Constitutional ofncsB are not Independent of the law. There Is nothing sacred or confidential about taxing costs and filing and docketing Judgments. It does not require a constitutional officer to satisfy a mechanics Hen or compare copy for certification. All this Is clerical work.

Sixties." Her husband, a colonel in the Confederate Army, saw a circular of Neale's, stating that his company was devoted especially to publishing Southern books, and sent the manuscript on from St. Louis, where the Merriweathers had their home. The company wrote back their approval of the work, and after corresponding back and forth a contract was finally entered Into, whereby the company agreed to publish the book and pay Mrs. Merriweather a royalty on all sale'B made. Mrs.

Merriweather paid them $600 to defray part of the expensea of publication. Time went by, however, and all the royalties Mrs. Merriweather received were $1.33. She began to demand explanations and, after a time, came to the conclusion that the company had merely printed the book and hai been doing nothing to advance its sale. She began an action against the company, declaring that she had been fleeced, and demanding that the $600 be returned to her, that the contract be adjudged to have been obtained by false pretenses, and that It be canceled.

Mrs. Merriweather has come on from St. Louis to testify, and her son, Lee Merriweather, who has been practicing at the St. Louis Bar for twenty-five years, came with her to assist her Brooklyn counsel, Robert Wyllo May, in the trial of the case. Mrs.

Merriweather declares that hC case is not an Individual one, but Is typlcnf of a large humber of instances where amateur authors have been led to make which they did not understand. To expose what she believes is a 'wide-spread practice, she has issued what she calls "A Statement to the Public end a Warning to Unwary Authors." In part her statement says: "In recent years there has arisen a cla-ss. of -pseudo publishers who, while pretending to publish, in reality, only print many of their books. They play upon the lack of business experience; perhaps, too, upon the vanity of amateur authors, end Induce them to sign contracts wholly wanting In equity, if uot in downrlgjit liouesty. Dwelling upon the great cost of publishing a book, of circulating advertisements, they Induce the unwary author to advance 'part' of the cost of publication; that "part" being usually about twice as much as the cost of printing, which is all the publishers of this class ever meant to do." Jacobson, however, was that, while his name is all right, he Is known as an antl-liciuor man.

Nevertheless, he Is popular here, and it took the late John A. Johnson to beat him for the Governorship a few years ago. Johnson could not have done it even then had he himself not teen a Scandinavian. Collins Is opposed to two Scandinavians. Governor A.

0. Eberhardt possesses a German name, but he Is of Swedish origin, and he makes a strong to that vote. His plurality was 60.000 two years ago. The Democratic Scandinavian is P. M.

Ringdal, who has the right kind of a name, but who is not generally expected to defeat Eberhardt. unless Collins develops more strength than Is now conceded to him. This three-cornered State fight, however, makes more trouble for Senator Nelson than he Is accustomed to In his own State. Coupled with it is the fact that his colleague, Senator Clapp, Is i-ncnly a Roosevelt man, although he is taking no hand In the battle here because of his duties as chairman of the Campaign Fund Investigating Committee in Washington. Nelson is anxious to be returned to Washington, his term expiring on March 4 next.

He has been Governor of his state three times, and lea, up to the present time, always been able to get what he wanted. Senator Nelson Taking No Chances. There seems to be a little chance for tile Democrats to capture the State this yeiir, even less chance than there Is to elect Ringdal In that event, Nelson will be safe. But the vigorous old Senator Is taking no chances, and he Is supporting the State ticket and remaining a Republican. Governor Eberhardt Is likely to be re-elected, unless a Democratic Bweep should occur He Is admittedly a Taft man.

Rather bungling politics was played by the Progressive Republicans in the 1 rlmary at which Eberhardt was chosen. Three candidates were put In the field K'ainst him. Hugh T. Halbert, the Roosevelt State chairman, tried to call two of them off, but without avail. The Progressive strength was divided and Eberhardt won.

Had one of theso Progressive Republicans been able to defeat the Governor the chance are there would be no Slate ticket In Minnesota, so far as the Bull Moose party is concerned, and the prospects of Roosevelt himself canum bowling tournament, his team winning the pennant one season.

Governor Wilson's cancellation of future campaign dates because of the Roosevelt shooting has upset many of the committee's plans, and this was another subject under discussion. They appreciate the good taste of the Governor's action, but do not want to allow their campaign to sag In the last few weeks. Chairman William F. McCombs was back at headquarters today and met with the committee. William G.

McAdoo, who has been acting as chairman during McCombs' illness, was also present, as well as some of the representatives of the Chicago headquarters, including Colonel Rj'oert Ewing and Congressman Albert S. Burleson. Several members of- the National Committee were e.Uo at headquarters. The whole campaign situation, received a careful review. The Roosevelt matter has not changed the view of the Democrats that Wilson will be elected, but they now regard the Colonel as a much stronger candidate than he waa before.

At Republican National Headquarters Chairman Hllles was, as usual, inaccessible No official statements wero available concerning the Roosevelt episode. Among Republlcns who could be reached at the- rooms of the' national commltteo there waa a disposition to re. Kurd the "nrloitgness of Colonel Roosevelt's Injuries with oeensiderable skepticism. There seemed to be a feeling that the utmost was being made of a dramatic but not necessarily grave affair. This statement 1b not based upon anything said or Intimated by any of the olllcials at headquarters, but simply upon the general atmosphere, which i3 about the only thing that tho ordinary visitor con reach.

At Progressive Headquarters George W. Perkins was In receipt, up to 1 o'clock this afternoon, of sever.i! encouraging messages from Chicago. Mr. Perkins had a call from George n. Cor-telyou during the forenoon, Mr.

Cortelyou being anxious to get the latest news about the Colonel's condition. Senator Joseph M. Dixon, the Roosevelt campaign manager, went to Washington on Bhort notice last night, but the matter which called him there was personal nnd li no relation to the campaign. He will probably be back today, and a few days hence is expected to go to Chicigo, where he will finish out the campaign. Mr.

Perkins said this morning he had no Idea whether Colonel Roosevelt would take the stump again during the campaign, even if he recovered sufficiently '-o make the feat physically possible. One of the earliest callers at tho hold-quarters was Giffr.rd Pinehot, who Issued a statement ccncernlng the Roosevelt shooting. Mr. Plnchot has all along believed that Roosevelt was going to be elected. He thinks so more than ever now.

"His bearing at the time of the shooting and after It," said Mr. Plnchot this morning, "was magnificent beyond all pralne." When asked this morning about the allegation made before thn Senate Committee, Investigating campaign contributions that he had made a loan to the True American, a Trenton, N. newspaper supporting Governor Wilson, George W. Perkins said: "I go to Washington tomorrow and will testify before the Senate Cnmmlttee on Friday. I made the loan to the Trenton newspnper.

I did not know nt the time it was a Demoernllc paper, and it was In no sense a political contribution. All this will eunie out nt the committee hearing. Patrolman DeBois a Hero Twice Within Half an Hour. a brother, Theodore, and two sisters, Mrs. De Wayne L.

sult of the conflicting views, political and social, of Alexander Hamilton and Oeorgo Clinton, we konw; that the lifo history of that system bears in fullest measure, the evidences of Hamilton's genius and Hamilton's Intellectual vitality, is a mutter of undisputed record. "Tho seed thought which underlies and gives purpose to the whole educational policy of New York from Its beginning Is that the educational process Is a unit, and that Its supervision and control should be gathered Into one department of Administration. Rivalries, misunderstandings, and personal Inttrcsts and ambitions long retarded the complete fulfillment of this line aim. From the time of the first e-tabllshment. In 1812, of the oflVo of State Superintendent of Public Instruction until the enactment, nearly ninety years later, of the admirable law which is now in force, the complete unification of the educational administration of the Slate was Impossible.

But as soon as Eberhardt was returned by the primary, Halbert announced that there would be a third ticket, and It has come. The Progressive's In Minnesota are not a united people. Halbert is the chairman of a Committee of Fifty, many of the members of which are not in ae-corcl with him. They opposed a third ticket, believing that Roosevelt would have a better chance to carry the State If Eberhardt was le ft unopposed. Halbert mustered a majjoriiy of the committee, however, on the ground lli.it the starting of the third party In the State was a matter c.r principle, and that Roosevelt expected every true Progressive to do his duty to the limit.

After stopping two runaways, each In a sensational manner, and at the peril of his life, within half an hour of each other today, Patrolman lie Bols, of the Clymer street station, decided to call It a day's work. Both rescues were witnessed by a large number of people, who loudly cheered the plucky policeman for his food work. The first runaway was stopped after the horse had knocked down and run over a 4-year old boy, breaking his leg and the second was brought to a halt, after l)e Hols, clinging to the horse's neck, had been carried the length of a city block, directly opposite Public School No. 12. discharging Its hundreds of children at the noon hour.

Had It not been fur the policemen's action many of the children would probably have been hurt. The Injured boy, Joseph Mado. of ini Flushing avenue, was taken to the Eastern District Hospital. He Hols was standing at his post at Clymer street, shortly before noon when he' saw a horse attached to a laundry wagon came dashing down Harrison avenue, with the wagon swaying perilously from to side. Pe Hols braced himself nnd sprunc for the horse's he-ad, as It came abreast of him.

He selied tbei reins and managed to bring the animal to a stop hn If a black further on. Ite Hols was still brushng the dmt, caused by this ene-junter, from his uniform, when the second runaway, this time a horse attached to an Ice wagon, appeared. The horse had been scored by a motorcycle and was bodly frightened. In the seat was Dotnlnlck Holt of Sehnles street, hut ho had lost all control of the animal. lie Hols sprang and clutched the horse about th neck, choking off Its wind.

trplt this handicap and the policeman's heavy weight the animal continued on for a full block from Mnywnod street and Harrison avenue to Kit' ledge street before coming to a stop.
