A resolution to this ef-
Special to The Tribune.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 7.—Though
Rear Admiral Caspar F. Goodrich
reached the age limit for active service
today he will porbably continue for
some time as commandant of the New
York navy yard, where he succeeded
the late Rear Admiral Coghlan a year
ago. Secretary of the Navy Newberry
has requested Rear Admiral Goodrich
to remain at the'navy yard long enough
to complete the scheme of consolidation
of the departments at the yard which
is being worked out acording to the ad-
miral’s own plans.
Rear Admiral Goodrich is one of the
best known officers in the navy. He
has the distinction of being the officer
who directed the last naval engagement
in the war with Spain, the fight at
Manzanillo, Cuba. He also commanded
the expedition which first drew the fire
of the batteries at Santiago. On that
occasion he was in charge of the work
.of cutting the cable connection with the
besieged city.
Rear Admiral Goodrich was appoint-
ed to the Naval academy from Connec-
ticut and jvas graduated as the first
honor man of the class of ’64. From
1865 to 1867 he was attached to the
steam frigate Colorado, at that time the
flagship of the European squadron.
During the Tel-el-Kebir expedition he
Was the American naval attache on the
staff of Viscount Wolseley.
He was commanding the Pacific fle^t
at the time of the San Francisco earth-
quake and received his first news of
the disaster and the awful results that
followed when off the coast of southern
California, nearly 800 miles away. The
intimation of the horror came in an
extraordinary manner. A wireless tele-
graph operator caught a stray message
sent out at random from a shore sta-
tion just north of San Francisco. Not
hesitating for a moment, and without
any verification of the: message, Rear
Admiral Goodrich, with characteristic
decision, turned his ships toward San
Francisco at full speed. His worst
fears were realized on arrival, and he
was ‘able to render notable services in
the period that followed the catas-
trophe.

Atlantic City, N. J., Jan. 7.—In an at-
tempt to emulate the men who styled
themselves “handcuff kings” a young
man who calls himself Albertus nearly
perished in the surf here yesterday.
Tightly laced in a straightjacket he en-
deavored""to show his ability to free
himself while under water. Benumbed
by the cold, he lost consciousness and
was nearly drowned before being res-
cued by life savers. Albertus jumped
into the water from a rowboat but it
was seen immediately that he was not
making a success of his experiment.
Twice he rose to the surface struggling,
then sank to rise again a third time.
Only one arm, however, could he free
from the jacket and the lifesavers in-
tervened to prevent a tragedy.

New York, Jan 7.—It required the
combined energy of ten of the tender-
loin’s largest policemen to arrest Stan-
islaus Billa, a giant Spaniard, in Sev-
enth avenue last night. Billa, whe

bile had narrowly missed him, and
proceeded to attack him. Climbing
into the machine ,he would have made
short work of the man had not two
policemen intervened. They were un-
able to subdue him however, and a
call for a patrol wagon was turned in.
Eight additional policemen soon ar-
rived on the scene as reinforcements,
and while the crowd which had gath-
ered cheered lustily the Spaniard wai
literally overpowered by numbers and
hauled off to a police station, wher«
he was charged with disorderly con-

The defense will call its medical
experts today and propound the hypo-
thetical -question containing all the
facts regarding Capt. Hains’ sanity.
Prosecutor Darrin will conduct the
cross-examination of the Hains medical
experts under the.coaching of Dr. Aus-
tin Flint.
Justice Crane insists that all evi-
dence in the case must be in by Satur-
day night. Summing up, counsel for
both sides will require ail of two days
and the jury will probably retire for
its deliberations on Wednesday.
At the regular meeting of the school
board last evening the committee re-
ported favorably on the offer of
Messrs. Adoue and Lasker to install
and maintain manual training in the
schools. Action was deferred, how-
ever, to a future meeting.
The report of Superintendent Hop-
kins showed the average daily attend-
ance at the schools for December to
have been 3,341.
Dr. L. S. Downs offered his services
free to test the lung capacity of the
schoolchildren. The board thanked
Dr. Downs, but decided that a test of
the pupils’ eyes, ears, nose and throat
was enough for a while at least.
The manual training school commit-
tee was oemposed of Messrs. Ran-
dall, Trueheart,
tendent Hopkins.
“Resolved, That
Messrs. Adoue and Lasker to
and maintain for one year, beginning
Oct. -1, 1909, manual training, domestic
science and sewing in the public
schools, be accepted and that the com-
mittee on teachers, course of study and
textbooks, together with the superin-
tendent of schools, be authorized to
arrange for the teaching of these sub-
jects in such manner and to such
tent as they may deem best, within
limits of the donations for this
purpose, and to report to this board
for final action at the regular meet-
ing in June. It is understood that the
school board will assume thre entire re-
sponsbility of the expenditure and
management of this addition to the
public schools.”
A motion prevailed that further
tion should be deferred until a future
meeting of the board when all
bars should be present.

Ann Arbor, Mich., Jan. 7.—President
James B. Angell of the University of
Michigan, the oldest university presi-

was 80 yearfe old today. It’was the de-

university that a public celebration of
the anniversary be held, but the plarts
to this end were abandoned in defer-

Angell. There was no stopping the

been at the head of the University of
Michigan since 1871. Before coming to
Ann Arbor he had served five years
as president of the University, of Ver-
mont, making a total of 42 years that
he has spent at the head of educational
institutions.
He was born in Scituate, R. I., Jan.
„ 7. 1829, in a household of comfortable
circumstances. He entered Brown uni-
versity in 1845. In 1849 he graduated,
and but for throat trouble he would
have studied for the ministry. He
spent several years in the sduth and
Europe, and upon his return he be-
came a professor of modern languages
at his alma mater. He continued to
teach for seven years and then became
editor of the Providence Jouriial, which
work he followed for seven years. He
became president of the University of

New York, Jan. 7.—Virginia Marie
Burbridge, six months old, a daughter
of Wm. Burbridge, an attendant in the
galleries of the Metropolitan Museum
of Art, has been made a fellow of the
museum through a whim of J. P. Mor-
gan. Taken to the museum in her
mother’s arms on Monday night at the
opening of the German exhibit, Mr.
Morgan noticed the wee girl and re-
marked that as she was the first child
to attend the exhibits, she should be
made a fellow of the museum for life,
with all privileges attendant thereto.
Mr. Morgan stood sponsor for the $5000
fee. The child’s home address was pre^_
sumably taken at the time, but through
mistake the wrong number was ob-
tained and it was not until last night
that the parents were informed of the
