A SNUB FOR MUENSTERBERG. The Kaiser's Action Interpreted as a Rebuke. Berlin , Nov. 14. The topic of the hour In American and university cir cles today Is the marked contrast be tween the attention the kaiser be stowed at the university yesterday up on Charles Alphonse Smith of Virginia , the now Roosevelt professor , and the chilling formality with which ho greet ed Hugo Muensterberg of Harvard , the new "exchange" professor. When the two professors finished their Inaugural address , the kaiser on- gngcd them In conversation. AM the exchange professorship outranks the Roosevelt chair In age , the emperor turned first to Muensterborg , with whom he chatted barely n minute , then , advancing to Smith , the hold the Virginian In conversation fully fifteen minutes. The Harvard psychologist , standing alone with the emperors back to him , cut an embarrassing flgiiic. MueiiHterberg'H friends believed that the Inaugural address mistakenly over emphasized the Gorman "identity" and German "Inlluenco" at Harvard be sides making too heavy demands upon the personal pronoun. Professor Smith created an unmis takably better impression. His typical American witticisms set the emperor laughing at the beginning and kept him In a lively good humor through out the address , "UPPERS" MAY COST LESS.

Crlppen a now trial , Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard resigned from his police work to take a private position. It is believed that Dew's resignation followed a "tip" from his superiors that maybe ho would save himself a lot of embarrassment by leaving vol untarily.

Dew went straight to Crlppen and the con versation that ensued was something like this : "Doctor , I am told you have killed your wife. I haven't had time to look into the case , but as soon as I get around to It , I am going to see what there is against you. In the mean time , I want you to give me your word of honor that you won't escape. That , doctor , would give me a lot of trou ble. " Accommodating Crippen gave his word not to leave and then as soon as Dew got out of the front door he hastened to Miss Le Neve , his typist , and the two tied precipitately. IS VANDERBILT TO MARRY ? New York Expected An Announce ment at a House Warming. New York , Nov. 10. Kuraors that Alfred Gwynno Vanderbilt , whoso wife divorced him a year ago , is to marry Mrs. Margaret Emerson McKlm , who recently divorced Dr. Smith Hollins McKim , were renewed today. The oc casion was a dinner given by him in his now home , 11 east sixty-second street , to the directors and visiting exhibitors of the horse show. When Elsie French Vanderbilt di vorced Mr. Vanderbilt ho declared he would not open another New York res idence unless he should marry again. Remembering this , several of those at the luncheon half expected some an nouncement of his marriage to Mrs. McKim. Nothing , however , was said at the luncheon to Indicate that Mr. Vanderbilt had other intentions than to conduct the residence , which is leased for the season from Mrs. Er nesto G , Fabbri , as a bachelor's hall. Word that the residence was being opened formally spread rapidly up and ' down Fifth a\cnuo , where the names of Mr. Vanderbilt and the handsome young daughter of Col. Isaac Emerson have been constantly linked together since the termination of the summer's Nevada Journey. The question asked was , where was Mrs. McKlm , and what part , If any , was she playing In the affair at the Vanderbilt residence ? Friends of Mrs. McKlm who happened Into the Waldorf hotel had no trouble in getting nn answer. Mrs. McKlm was there lunching quietly with her parents and friends. "Shucks ! " said Colonel Emerson. "There's positively nothing to it , " was the statement reiterated at 'lie Vnnderbllt home , whore denials have been made persistently for the last three weeks. "Walt and watch , " was the comment of the gossipers. A TRUST CONTROLS FLIERS. Manufacturers In a World-Wide Agree ment to Limit Production. Now York , Nov. 14. Manufacturers of aeroplanes have entered Into a world-wide agreement to limit the pro duction of aeroplanes , and many weal thy men who hove ordered machines for their own use find themselves un able to hurry the manufacturers. H Is recognized by shrewd promot ers in all parts of the world that the present vogue of the aeroplane for ox- hlbltlon purposes will die out within the next year or eighteen months. For this reason Hlerlot , Curtlss , the Wright company , Farman and the others are limiting the pioductlon of their craft for exhibition purposes and are fur nishing them only to the men who lease them. This Is the reason the wealthy sportsmen who want them cannot got thorn for love or money. Cornelius Vanderbilt , Allan A. Ryan , Harry Payne Whitney , Robert 1C. Col lier , Russell A Algcr , Howard Colby and other wealthy men are unable for any consideration to acquire the aero planes they ordered n year ago. All of the men mentioned are connected with the Wright company. The only way in which a machine can be acquired Is by paying n large bonus above the regular high price. Even then the machine , Is sold subject to restrictions which 'do not permit the owner to use the craft to earn tnonoy with It. He must contract to use It only for private pleasure and must agree not to exhibit it in public. If you want an aeroplane the best way to get it Is to build it yourself. If you want It for sport and to try for pleasure , no ono can stop you so long as you do not use the machine to earn money. You may use any patent , so long ns you do not use the other fel low's Ideas to make money. EXPRESS MEN BACK TO WORK Row in New York and Vicinity Has Finally Been Settled.

Now Eight New Yorkers Are in "An Awful Stew. " New York , Nov. 14. A matrimonial flareback struck a bunch of Now York ers a blow yesterday that has left them In what is called here "an awful stew. " Eight persons are Involved In the case. This is the way it goes , fig ure it out for yourself : In 1876 Robert K Tysen wedded Miss Ida Rowe , a society debutante , and in 1892 she was granted a South Dakota divorce. In 1892 Mrs. William Pollock was divorced and wed to Ty sen , while William Pollock , her hus band , married Mrs. James Kernoclmn. In 1899 Mrs. Pollock-Tyson divorced Tysen and in 1902 Mrs. Joseph Ben- rlmo divorced Benrimo. The next year Mrs. Bentimo becomes Mrs. Ty sen No. 3 , while In 190G Benrimo wed Helen Robertson , the actress. In 1909 Tysen sued to annul his marriage to wife No. 3 , formerly Mrs. Benrimo , and Mrs. Benrimo Tysen filed a coun ter claim for divorce. The supreme court dismissed Mr. Tyson's annul ment suit , and now , to add complica tions , the appellate division of the su preme court decided today : 1. That Tyson's annulment suit was improperly dismissed by the trial term and that he is entitled to a new trial. 2. That Benrlrao and his flrst wife , who Is the present Mrs. Tysen , were never legally divorced , according to New York law. because service in the suit was made on Benrimo by publica tion and he never appeared to defend the action in Michigan. The result of the decision today puts all the persons mentioned in the foregoing in somewhat of an awkward position , to say the least. Dies Ignorant of Defeat. Philadelphia , Nov. 14.

Foster , | the Wayne right end , declared he had dislocated his ankle and went out of the game being i enlaced by Court- 1 right. At ono time in this quarter , Norfolk's goal was In danger but the ball was steadily but surely brought to the Wayne's line where on a , for ward pass Emery made a sensational touchdown. Fisher failed to kick goal. I Another tryout was made with sue- ( cess. Mapes cleverly made the touch down and Fisher kicked goal in good 'style. ' The score was 17 to 5 In Nor- | folk's favor. j Foster , whose knee still Inconvenc- cd him , went back into the game in the third quarter In which Captain Wllloy | did some telling work. Logan , the second team star , was In ttic game in this quarter and showed some good work. Odlorne blocked a good forward I pass from Wayne In this quarter and Captain Wllley took the ball over for a touchdown which was followed by Fisher's goal kick. The third quarter ended after Wll ley , Emery , Denton and Landers did some very good playing while Kelleher and Logan exhibited clever tackling. The fourth quarter was an even break , neither side getting much ground. The game ended 2 , ' ! to 5 in Norfolk's favor.

Stabbed With a Stiletto. After lying In the Hazel Best resort from 4 to 7 p. m. Sunday with a deep stiletto wound in each shoulder , a stranger In the city was quietly taken from the city and removed to his homo by friends who were with him. The Sicilian who did the stabbing was traced by the police to the Junction depot , from which place it Is believed he has made his escape to Omaha. The Sicilian was a laborer employed on the paving work here. It Is believed the wounded man's homo is near Battle Creek , hut his name is not known and will not bo given out. He came here Sunday morning in an automobile accompanied by a friend. Both were said to bo intoxi cated and had been refused admit tance nt 3:30 : Sunday afternoon to the Hazel Best resort. Four of the Sicil ian laborers were also In the neigh borhood of the resort and ono of their number who endeavored to enter one of the hoimes was turned away. While passing , the two strangers arc said to have made som.1 remark to the spokes man of the Sicilian crowd , who re sented and followed the two men Into the Hazel Beat yard , "What you nay ? What you say ? " demanded the foreigner us he sprang upon the man. He quickly drew a long shining dagger from , his pocket and plunged it twice up to the hilt In each shoulder of the American , who , bleeding badly from two wounds , ran to the rear of the yard , followed by the Sicilian , who finally lied toward his companions calling him. The for eigners disappeared toward the city and the wounded man was taken Into the Best resent , where a physician dressed his wounds. Eight or ten i > ien were In the house at the time tne stubbing took place. No effort was made to stop the Si cilian who did the work. The wounded man were a heavy fur overcoat and undercoat and a sweater. With this heavy clothing the Sicilian was probably handicapped from mak ing his stabbing fatal. The end of the knife touched the shoulder blades , which also stopped its further dam age. age.The The woiinne'i man is about 27 years of age , smooth ehaved and well dress ed , it is not believed the Sicilian will be prosecuted. No complaint lias yet been made. Acting County Attorney Hurt Mupos declares the Sicilian will be arrested if he is still in the city. BUT MISS GOULD DIDN'T DIE. So the "Mourning" Was lanen Down and the Crowd Melted. New York , Nov. 14. It's the easiest thing in the world to get a crowd or start a rumor in New York , which is why it was reported for a few minutes yesterday that Miss Helen Gould was dead. Just now Fifth Avenue is being widened oned , which necessitates tearing off several feet of the fronts of a number of houses , Including Miss Gould's. Yesterday one of the workmen on the job propped a scantling against the door frame and hung thereon a blacl coat. To the ordinary passer-by the black hanging took on the funeral ai pcct of a mourning badge , and this appearance was emphasized when a long spray of smllax thrown out of the floral establishment in the Windsor arcade was hung over the coat. A crowd gathered opposite the man sion , attracted by the rumor of Miss Gould's death. Miss Gould herself , attracted by the gathering , stood look ing down from an upper window. The contractor when he realized the cause of the crush before the house , ordered the workman to remove the coat from the door. This and Miss Gould's presence nt the window caused hte crowd to melt away. THE RESULT IN TRIPP. Republicans Elect the Entire Ticket Except Auditor.
