The Dean asked to.be introduced to "Mr. See," and was. The self-termed "Mr. See" then told the Dean in course of conversation that his remarks casting reflections on girls colleges did not apply to Adelphi, which was more of a home but were meant for those colleges where the girls liyed on 'campus in dormitories and were away from the home influence. Tho ral Mr.

See today emphatically denied having ever talked to any of the Adelphi campaigners' at' the hotel and stated that, he would not retract a word of his letter expressing a des're to burn every woman's college. "My remarks," he said, "applied to Adelphi as well as every girl's institution of higher learning, although no more to Adelphi than the others." Who was tho "Mr. See" who talked to Dean Harvey? The Dean states that she had a very pleasant conversation with the man; that he seemed to have many ideas upon education to give her, many of them somewhat peculiar, and. 10 Flatbush Avenue Brooklyn Nevini Street Subway Station at Door Is A.

See changing his mind about college girls as far as Adelphi College of Brooklyn is concerned? Will ho yet come across for the campaign for $1,000,000 for the institution's endowment and building fund? Did he talk to Dean Harvey of the college in the lobby of the Hotel Bos-sert and express regret for having applied the epithets he did to Adelphi girls? Or did some one play a practical joke, on the Dean and impersonate Mr. Sep These questions puzzling. Adelphi people today. One fact is known, and is being widely discussed among the Adelphi campaigners, many of whom witnessed the incident. About a week ago, just before one of the campaign report dinners at the hotel, whilo the lobby was well filled with Adelphians, a man appeared who eye-wit nesse3 who know him, said, was either Mr.

See or his double, approached one of the girls whose name eannot be used, and said: "I am A. B- See." Ha said some other things, but' the young woman JAMAICA MAN, CURED OF GANGRENE, LAUDS JABLONS' NEW SERUM One man' who today backed up the claims of Dr. Benjamin Jablon of 498 West End that he has found a cure for gangrene was Edward 'Sidon of Jamaica. Dr. Jablo, formerly director of the laboratories at Beth Moses Hospital In Brooklyn, that haa developed a chemical serum adapted to the blood of individual patientB.

It is claimed that the treatment has been used with success on more than 200 patients within the past 18 months. Besides Sidon, Edward Trainer of Ossining, N. today gave personal testimonials describing remarkable benefits. Trainer suffered for nine years from a progressive form of gangrene, which necessitated tho gradual amputation of both legs and the lingers of hia left hand as the disease progressed. A few weeks ago he received his first injection of Dr.

Jablon's specific and thereafter he received one daily for three weeks. Now he has been pronounced cureu and he says he feels sure there will be no recurrence of the malady. Sidon's experiences was similar. The disease attacked his left foot, necessi tating amputation. In subsequent.

operations he lost the entire leg. Then he began treatments Dr. Jablons, with the result that lie has had no recurrence of the disease since a year ago when he was pronounced cured. Dr. Herman T.

Peek, head of tho Department of Health In Brooklyn, said today he knew nothing of the serum and had had no opportunity to observe its accomplishments, but that any claim made by a man of Dr. Jab-Ions' standing and scientific, attainments merited and would receive the closest consideration of the medical fraternity. Div William Lathron Love; State Senator-elect, said he Une.w Dr. Jab-Ions had been experimenting for a long time, but that he was not familiar with the serum. "Dr.

Jablons is a man of the highest standing in his profession and there is I no question but. that his serum will be studied with the utmost closeness by medical men," said Dr. Love. "Personally I do not see how gangrene could be treated successfully with an intervenous injustion, however, because gangrene actually is in the nature of a symptomatic condition which might be the result of so many and varied causes, It can develop from diabetes, from arterio sclerosis, from an embolus a blood clot- or from a physical injury. "If Dr.

Jablons has accomplished what he appears to believe he has accomplished he has made a precious contribution to medical science and one which will bo a boon to humanity. for one, will await developments with the keenest interest. This announcement illustrates again what appears to me a most important consideration. That is the need for a closer co-operation between the professions of medicine and lay journalism. There is a vast army of afflicted who are impressed by anything they see in the public prints and their anxiety destroys their powers of discrimination.

"If the press received the proper cooperation from medical men competent to intelligently discuss such subjects and to explode false theories as well as to extoll worthy ones, inestimable benefit would accrue to humanity at the expense of charlatans or well intntioned cranks. The press, for its part, should confine its publication of, such subjects to the opinions of proper and. authoritative sources." When an Eagle reporter called at the- sidon home- today his daughter said: 'We all believe that my father owes bis life to the marvelous treatment of Dr. Jablons; Wo were told two years ago by numerous doctors that he had no chance for his life. Today he is completelv well and we are all happy and grateful." Sidon, who is an American citizen, JSl ARMY CHIEFS CHEER TIGER'S REFERENCE TO THE "14 POINTS" Washington, Dec.

6 (By the Associated Press) Tho dignity of the United States War College was shat tered for a moment today when major generals, brigadiers, colonels and officers of lesser rank gave Georges Clemenceau three cheers and a "Tiger." Major General McGlachin, commandant of the college, acted as cheer loader, massing his rootors on the front steps of the colloge building us the Tiger of France emerged after delivering a 30-minute address. Before "he went to the War College, M. Clemenceau drove to Arlington National Cemetery and buring his fieafl, laid a huge wreath on the grave of America's unknown solder. Later he embarked on the naval yacht Sylph, which had been loaned by Secretary Denby for a trip to George Washington's tomb at Mount Vernon. Clemenceau's talk at the War College was halt a tribute to the work of the American forces in tho war and half a plea for this country's re-entry into European affairs.

Ho was applauded when he said with a twinkle In his eyes that while France and England were glad enough to soo the war end where it did, he "didn't think it would have displeased the Americans if it had gone a little longer." The oflieers again applauded when he referred to former President Wilson and his "Fourteen Points." "One of the Fourteen Points," he declared, "provided that Germany should repair- damages, and the terms of the Armistice said that if the points were not fulfilled, America and the Allies would go on. Our damages are not repaired. And you didn't go on." America's withdrawal from Europe, he continued, gave Germany courage. "Thty thought they could gt-t tho better of us," he said, "and thus far seem to have succeeded." He concluded with the assertion that lie was taking back to France the message that "America's heart is in tho same place," and that "some day wo will meet again." "And that he added, "peace will be ensured, not only in America, but in Europe, and you will have achieved one of the greatest heights reached by mankind."

That there are five hospitals now serving various parts of the Williamsburg section, having an aggregate of 1,219 beds, wilh only 672 of that number occupied on Monday last, was one of the reasons given by Louis C.

Wills before Justice Kapper, in tho Supreme Court today, for the closing of the Williamsburg Hospital. Mr. Wills is vice president of tho Williamsburg Hospital, and was appointed a committee to put into effect the resolution of the Board of Directors to discontinue tho activities of the hospital and close the buildings, at S. 3d st. and Bedfoid ave.

He appeared to oppose the petition of Dr. Richard Henderson, chairman of the Medical Board of the hospital, who asked for an injunction to prevent the closing of the institution. Dr. Henderson's attorney. Edward A.

Vosseler, told the Court that the directors had no power to bind the hospital corporation to a discontinuance, which was in the nature of yielding up a franchise. He claimed also that Dr. Henderson and thoso who side with him in the controversy had no opportunity to be heard in th matter, tho directors having decided the question among themselves. "The matter has been under consideration for some time," said Mr. Wills to the Court.

"The hospital ha been maintained by pay from the City for Its ambulance service, by such small payments as its poor patients were able to make and by contributions. Last year there was a deficit of $13,000, which had to he made up by giving a charity social affair. The building is now a firetrap, and the need for it no longer exists. It is unsanitary and conducted at a great, loss, and is surrounded by hospitals. "The building now in use was erected in 1877 and does not measure up to hospital requirements.

We constantly received notices for chaiges and renovations which could not be made while patients are in tho building, and it would be wasteful to make some required changes in the present structure. In 1917 a campaign for a new building was launched. We aimed to get $300,000. We got $200,000 and then the expenses ran so high it was useless to continue. Within recent time the city has completed several new hospitals nearby, notably the New Cumberland Street Hospital, and the Greenpoint Hospital.

Then there are tho Bushwick, St. Catharine's and Beth Moses Hospitals, and each of these is about half full. The Williamsburg Hospital building has no accommodation for nurses, and they have to live in a building six blocks away, being required to go through a foreign neighborhood without, escort at all hours of the night and day. "The discontinuance of hospital service is merely an act of management, for we may decide to build a new building, or renovate the present one, but it cannot be done with patients in it." Mr. Wills submitted affidavits from Bird S.

Coler, Commissioner of Public Welfare, declaring that the nine am bulances of the surrounding hospitals can easily, take care of tiro section heretofore served bv the Williams burg Hospital, and Dr. Silas C. Blais-dell, a leading practitioner or tho section, saying that the hospital Is no longer necessary. Justico Kapper reserved decision. SMUGGLED RUM IS FOUND HIDDEN IN BAGS OF COCOANUT While a formidable dry navy of an unrevealed number of vessels is lying the coast of Long Island and Now Jersey waiting to seize the bootlegging fleet said to be approaching with some $3,000,000 worth of holiday liquor, a new method of smuggling whisky into tho United States was discovered in tho Port 01' New York.

Acting Prohibition Director Vellnw- ley said today that he bad as urt hoard nothing either from his own navy or the bootleggers' fleet. But meanwhile it was reported to Deputy Surveyor of the Port W. It. Sanders that whisky had been brought in last night in ah entirely new way. The liquor was said to be' in copra bags and packed in small wooden boxes.

A flying squadron operating under E. W. Whittle, Surveyor of the Port, and made up of the following agents, John McAdams, W. C. Semsey, E.

J. Starace and Mangan, went to Pier 28. East River, and on the dock found 20 sacks of copra with the small boxes of liquor hidden in the heart or eacn or the bags. Deputy Surveyor Sanders notified the men on duty tc place a guard over tho liquor and the copra, and this morning it was taken to the Bargo Office and turned over to the customs custodian. The liquor was found in copra consigned from Port Antonio, on the vessel Cayo Mambl, which arrived in New York from the West Indies on Dec.

4. Upon opening (he small wooden boxes, they were tonnd to rontaln four notties each or Scotch, well packed in straw. Tho seizure was made after an investigation of 6 months by the Customs officials, who for a long while have suspected that liquor was being brought to the United States secretly in the copra bags. The bags of copra each weigh 150 pounds. Copra, which is dried cocoauut, enters this country without dutv.

State that (he National Assembly of the Far Eastern Republic had "dissolved on Nov. 12, after passing a unanimous resolution to amalgamate with the Russian Socialist Federated Soviet Republic. Chita, instead of being capital of an independent State, now becomes tho seat of government of a Soviet province. The change thus made, in Mr. Skvlrsky's status is nominal, but it may prove, to be of considerable importance.

He will k-nr TJ.i ti.i 1 Miowever, as an unofficial observer of nuviei juissia at. wasmngion, wnile American consular oflfcers already stationed at Chita and Vladivostok will remain at their posts, although now on Soviet territory. It is pointed out that continuation of these officers at their pasts is of no special significance. When th Soviet Government came into power in October, 1017, American consuls throughout Russia remained at then posts, under an explicit promise 'tha' our Consulates would be inviolable When, however, Soviet soldiery invaded the Bri'ish and French Consulates at Moscow, Secretary Lansing decided to risk no such fate for American representation, and our corp' of consuls was withdrawn.

Folwell in the Flatbush Court today in fixing a heavy ball on two men arraigned before him. The magistrate scored the Supreme Court Justices for fixing low bail when at attorney for a prisoner held in a magistrate's court without abll appears before them on a writ to fix bail. When tha two men, both with criminal records, were arraigned, their attorney, Matthew T.

Azruzzl, protested the $5,000 bail each, fixed by Magistrate Folwell, and asked that the. men be held without bail. Folwell refused to change 'his Judgment and said: "I know what you want, and I want to say that there are 0110 or two Supreme Court Justices who do not know the criminal game as I do, and when an attorney appears before them on a writ to fix bail they say that a magistrate must be crazy to hold a man without bail, with tho result that a burglar will get out on a low bail and soon get money with which to pay hia lawyer's fees. "Here you have a man who has been convicted before, who is carrying a wicked looking jimmy, and his pal with as pretty a pair of skeleton keys as I havo' ever seen, and which will open any door. I am certainly under no legal obligation to fix bail, but in doing.

I intend, to keep them both in jail, until their trial. Clever work on the part of Dotec tlves David MeCIunn and Charles Prit ting resulted in the men's arrest. They gave their names as Vincent Valenti, 21, of 333 Hoyt and Joseph Alagna, 24, of 71 Van Brunt st. Both men were noticed to be hanging about cer tain apartment houses in a suspicious manner, by the detectives, who shadowed them. After visiting several apartments they entered that at 268 Dean after three attempts to get someone to open ho door.

After this the two officers took tliem into custody and upon a search discovered the jimmy on Valenti and the keys on Alagna. The latter also was carrying pawn tickets for jewelry in an Albany pawn. shop. Both men admitted being out to "do a job." Valenti has been out of the Elmira State Prison for throe months after completing a term for attempted burglary, und Alagna was arrested last Summer at Coney Island as a suspected pickpocket, on a charge of disorderly conduct. Possession of burglars' tools is the present charge against each man a felony in the case of Valenti and a misdemeanor in the case of Alagna.

Today a committee of three representing the, Kings County Grand Jurors Association, composed of Stephen S. Tuthill, president; Clarence E.

Spayd, treasurer; Curtis W. Shields of. the executive committee, visited the Traffic Court with the idea of gaining information regarding the proceedings in that court, which they will present at the meeting Friday of the executive committee of the Grand Jurors Association, when plans will be formulated to be presented at the regular meeting on Dec. 15. With the vastly icreased amount of traffic throughout the city this association felt that it could be of no greater service to tho community than in undertaking to reduce the alarmingly growing number of the boro's motorcar fatalities and casualties.

A traffic committee was instructed to investigate and report with recommendations. The committee of three in Traffic Court today expressed their hearty approval of the methods of Magistrate E. Steers, and it was their opinion that lie gave the defendants as much leeway and "rope" as possible. Magistrate Steers said that he. would give this new movement bis support.

MINE OWNERS DRAFT NEW PEACE PLAN Chicago, Dec. 8 Negotiations were reopened today between soft coal operators, representing the nation's union output, and a delegation of miners for the. purpose of agreeing on some method of drafting a wage scaie Tor the miners next January. Casting aside sectional differences, the operators were reported to have agreed on ii plan to present to the miners for approval. As reported, the plan would provide for district agreements, arranged to permit a post.ibk-return to the old central competitive field base; on impartial tribunal to settle disputes and a sliding wage scale to replace the fixed and uniform scale now in effect.

Unless some method for negotiating a scale Is agreed upon, operators said they saw little hope of the January meeting averting a coal strike nxl April, that she merely let him talk, as -sue considered it impossible to convort "Mr. See."

R.R. TELLS HOW $1,712,000 WILL BE SPENT IN QUEENS Tha first move of the Long Inland Railroad Company toward carrying out Its plana to increase trackage facilities on tho main line from Jamaica to the boundaries of the city yvtui a hearing held before the Transit Commission today on tho company's applicaton for the amendmctn of the grade crossings order some years ago by the Public Service Commission of the First District directing the elimination of five grade crossings near the Queens Village station. The company is planning to four-track the lino and make other improvements In the facilities for the handling of traflic. L. V.

Morris, chief engineer of the railroad, was the principal witness. In response to questions of L. J. Carru-thers, Mr. Morris explained the proposed changes.

He said the old order, issued in 1911, provided that the tracks in Queens be raised above grade about IS feet and that the grade crossings bo depressed to give 14 feet of headroom for vehicles beneath the track. Tho plan was that Bennett ave. should be depressed feet, Hempstead and Jamaica turnpike, 4Vs feet, Wertland ave. 8tf feet, Creed blvd 3 feet, and Madison 6 feet. Mr.

Morris stated that the company liad a substitute plan under which the tracks would be raised higher than originally contemplated, to about 20 feet above the surface of tho roads. By this, he said, the streets instead of being depressed can be raised so as to give a natural drainage to the side. Under this plan Bennett ave. would be raised two feet. There would be no change In the grade of Hempstead and Jamaica Turnpike.

Wertman ave. and Creed ave. would be raised three and seven-tenths and three and six-tenths feet respectively, and Madison ave. would be lowered one foot. According to the witness, the whole cost of the improvement, including the cost of the removal of the grade crossings and the betterments to be made by the railroad company, would 11.712,000.

Of this sum $259,000 would be made by the railroad company and the ramtnder B0 percent by the railroad company, 25 percent by the city and 25 percent by the State. The actual cost to the city, according to Mr. Morris, would be less under the new plan, as the cost of the sewer, which would have to be built under the original plan, would be saved. The. cost of the sewer is estimated at about J200.000.

General Andrews reserved decision, but it is considered as a foregone conclusion that tho commission with grant the company's application for a modification of tho original order.
