Trustees Are Asked to Provide
Maintenance Fund For
Education School.
Athons, Ga„ Juno 17,—The report* of
Chancellor David C. Barrow and Dean
Charle* N. Shelling to the board of
trustee* for the pant year are extremely
gratifying. Despite the epidemic of
mumps and measles from which the
university has suffered during the fall,
the year ha* been very *#cce**ful. The
board of trustees are asked by the
chancellor to provide for the upkeep of
a building for the school of education.
The Peabody board of trustees have
offer the university 140,000 to erect a
building for the school of education, on
the condition that the trustees of the
university will make suitable provisions
for the maintenance of the building.
All the various branches of the uni
versity are shown to be in a flourish
ing condition, altho larger appropria
tions are needed for some of them.
The report of Colonel Snelllng. show
ing the average ages of the members
of the various classes. Is extremely In
teresting. The table Is as follows.
Average
Age.
Senior law class 21.43
Junior law class 21.44
Senior pharmacy 22
Junior pharmacy 19
One-year agriculture 19.01
Senior academic 21.41
Junior academic 19.49
Sophomore academic 19.11
Freshman academic 18.19
Average for the university 19.42
During the year 83 students have
withdrawn from the Institution. Va
rious reasons are the cause of the
withdrawals, and they are accounted
for on the dean's books as follows: For
failure to meet requirements, 24: poor
health, 20: finances, 11; business. 10:
entered Columbia university, 1; in the
Interest of discipline, 6, and cause not
assigned, 10. The percentage of with
drawals this year Is smaller than It has
been for Several years, despite the large
amount of sickness.
The chancellor recommends that
athletics be made a regular department,
under a director of physical education,
and that the coaching of the teams be
confined to regular officers of the uni
versity. It Is also asked that the trus
tees pass a rule not allowing the Geor
gia teams to play against preparatory
teams.

SHE SHOWED A MAP
OF BURGLAR’S FLIGHT
If Recorder Broyles needed a tre
mendous amount of testimony to bind
Hamp Morgan, a negro, facing three
separate charges of burglary, over to
the state courts Saturday morning, he
got It when Mrs. K. D. Burgess, of 103
Enst Plne-st„ who lost two diamond
rings thru Hamp'a alleged activities,
took the stand and proved by a diagram
that Hamp was Hamp.
Mr*. Burgess wanted her rings, and
she told the court so In no uncertain
manner, expecting the while that the
recorder would reach In some hidden
portion of his desk and hand over the
sparklers.
Mrs. N. E. Morgan, of the Georgian
apartments, which Hamp Is said to
have also looted last Tuesday morning,
testified, and several little boys who
claimed to have chased the negro were
placed on the stand, but It remained for
Mrs. Purges*, who produced a diagram
that looked like the map of a battle-
lleld. to indicate Hump’s exits and his
entrance* to clinch the arguments.
The negro himself, who started out
with a sweeping denial, got right
ashamed of himself when he saw the
map tracing his route, where he drop
ped the purse which contained tl)e
rings, and all his steps.
Morgan, It is' alleged, went thru three
houses In the neighborhood of the Gior
dan npnriments In Ivy-st. Tuesday
morning and the amount of his haul
was heavy. About nine witnesses tes
tified that Morgan was the negro who
ran thru the streets after he had been
disturbed In one of his Jab*.
New York, June 17.—The mo*t bru
tal murder committed by thieves In this
city In a decade was revealed today
when the body of Mrs. Jennie Morando,
34 years old, was found In her home at
221-2 Catherlne-st. Sho had been
strangled to death and the ear rings
tom from her ears. Every drawer and
box that might have served as a hid
ing place for money was ransacked by
the murderers before they fled.
Police are hunting for two men who
were seen leaving the house a short
time before Mrs. Morando'* body was
discovered by her husband and son.
The Morando* live on the second floor
of the building. When Morando and
his son returned for luncheon today,
they found the door of their apartments
locked and forced an entrance.
Mrs. MOrando was not In sight and
they went to the back of the house. In
a bed room they found her lying In
bed* with a sheet fastened securely
about her neck. The room was In great
disorder and It was apparent that she
had fought hard for her life.
The police of the Oak-st. station
were Immediately notified and detect
ives were rushed to the house. Altho
It was evident that the woman was
dead, an ambulance was summoned
from the Hudson-st. hospital.
Dr. Jennings, who responded, said
that the woman had been dead only
fifteen minutes. Strangulation, he de
clared, was the cause of death.
Five diamond rings had been strip
ped from the murdered woman’s Angers
and a large sum of money taken from
the place of Its keeping.
From neighbors the police got a de
scrlptlon of the two men who left the
flat, and a search has been started-for
them.

, MR. SECRETARY MEYER
Hi* Great Busin*** Ability Allowed
Fra* Swing in Navy Department.
From Town and Country.
The secretary of the navy I* a tome-
what deceptive person. To look at him
or converse with him you would never
suppene that he was to the least degree
a politician as we understand the term
In this country. He bear* about him
none of the earmark* of the profession.
You could not Imagine him hobnobbing
In the lobbies with any of the weird
crew that pulle the wire* of national
government. In appearance and man
ner he Is thoroughly a man of the great
world—civilised, cosmopolitan and
debonair. Many people Imagined that
he went Into diplomacy for the fun of
the thing, *■ successful business men
will, whose tastes have been cultivated
beyond mere matters of trade, and who
prefer thalr live year* of Europe to a
cycle of Hamilton. Mass. But those
who know him at closer range realise
that his periods of ambassadorship at
Rome and St. Petersburg were mere
Interludes In a strenuous political ca-
11 reer. No man who was not enamored
1 ; of public affairs could possibly have
! given up thr sweets of diplomacy for
j the dull grind of the postmaster gen-
: eral's portfolio In the cabinet.
That Is where Mr. Meyer deceives the
■, eye. He Is In reality a trained polltl-
I clan In the very best sense of the word, i
Amateur* are seldom more 'successful
In Washington than elsewhere In life;
ind Mr. Meyer I* no amateur. He has;
cone thru all. or nearly all, the stage*. I
Twenty years ago h- was a herd-1
corking alderman of Boston. A little I
leter he went to the stute legislature
»nd served as speaker cf the ho iso. I
That sort of experience L tea. spectoe-1
ular than a Washington career, but It
Is Just aa Informing. Therefore George
Meyer was thoroughly equipped for
public and political service when he
Joined Mr. Roosevelt's cabinet.
But hi* real chance came when he
went to the navy under Mr. Taft. There
hi* great business ability wa* allowed
a freer swing than wa* possible at the
postofllce, where inefficiency Is due to
old-fashioned political methods which
can not tightly be eradicated. At the
navy Mr. Meyer haa not only shown
great capacity. for handling an enor
mous business, but hit courage In cut
ting away wreckage has been conspic
uous As politicians go In this country,
he Is a young man, and looks still
younger. Whatever party may be In
power, he Is likely to be found or
ganising some department of govern
