New York, May 26.—The steamer
Ryndam of the Ilplland-American
line, bound from New York to Rot-
terdam with passengers and freight
collided with the freight steamer
Joseph J. C'uneo today off Nantuck-
et Island. Wireless messages re-
icetved here saJd the Ryndam had
transferred her passengers and part
tof her crew to the C'uneo, but that
both vessels were badly damaged.
It was reported that the battleship
Texas and another steamer were
hastening tb the scene of the col-
lision.
The collision, it was reported,
took pace fifteen miles southwest
of Nantucket shoals light ship,
about 4 a. m.
The Ryudarn, a vessel of 7.976
tons, sailed front this port yester-
day afternoon with 70 passengers
in her first and second cabins and
115 In her third cabin.
The Cuneo is a Norwegian
freighter of 546 tons. She plies be-
tween Atlantic coast ports and the
West Indies. It is believed she car-
ried no passengers.
The Atlantic fleet, which has been
engaged In maneuvers, lies in the
neighborhood where the accident
occurred and it was thought (he
disabled ships would not lack as-
sistance.
The Ryndam's wireless became
fainter and fainter und it was dif-
ficult for the wireless stations lo
communicate with Lev. Two war-
ships of the Atlantic fleet hurrying
to the assistance of the disabled
vessel, came up alongside the Ryn-
dam about 7 o’clock and, with the
liner steamed along toward this
port, which made very slow pro-
gress. The arrival of the war ves-
sels virtually assured the safety of
forty of the crew who had remain-
ed on iboard.
From wireless reports received
later It was believed that the In-
rush of water In the holds of (he
Ryndam had been checked and the
steamship was enabled to increase
her speed lo i2 knots or more.
Meanwhile the Cuneo with the
Ryndam’s passengers and part of
her crew headed towards New
York.
The Ryndam was said to be heav-
ily laden with a general cargo of
foodstuffs und merchandise for
Holland.
The progress of the Ryndam was
a continual fight on the crew to
prevent Holt} Number 0 from filling.
With hold number five filled (he
water gained slowly in number six
notwithstanding every effort to
check It and officers of the Ryndam
made preparatins to abandon the
liner in the event the situation
grew worse;—
Although the cause of the acci-
dent has not been slated, It was
believed that a heavy fog which
■was brought up (Ivy1 a southeasterly
wind late last night was respon-
sible. Fortunately the sea was not
heavy.

ville, announced the death In a san-
llarinm In that city of Chief Justice
Thomas J. Brown of the Supreme
■Court of Texes.
Chief Justice Brown has been tn
falling health for some time anil
while his death was not totally unex-
pected, it was a severe shock to the
members of his family In this city
and to his many friends here.
Ho had made tils home In this
city for many years, reared his
family here and was known an*
beloved by the entire citizenship of
Sherman.
In the death of Chief Justice

Texas has passed from the walks of
life. Had he lived until next July
he would have been seventy-nine
years of age and his life has been a
full, well rounded one. He not only
ascended the ladder of success in
his chosen profession ami reached
the highest pinnacle of the profound
lawyer and statesman, but he ful-
filled every obligation of life in the
same splendid manner. Personally he
was a high minded man. devoid of
any of tlje small frivolities of life,
sound in every way. He was a true
Christian and followed in a meek
and humble way In the footsteps of
his Savior. In the rearing of his
family lie was a success. His daugh-
ters, four of whom survive him, are
among the south’s most splendid
women.
In all of the relations of life he
was a true nran and the world Is
better on account of his having pass-
ed this way. His death is a loss to
the state and to his family and
friends.
Thomas Jefferson Brown was born
in Jasper county, Georgia, July 24,
1830. His parents were pioneers,
Ervin and Matilda Brown. He was
educuted in the common schools of

to the bur to practice in the district
courts of Texas and in 1859 in the
supreme court, it was also in 1859

until 1873, when he removed tb
Sherman and remained in the active

in the state. In 1888 he was elect-
ed from Grayson county as a repre-
sentative in the legislature nnd was
re-elected in 1890. He rendered
much assitanee in perfecting the
railroad commission and was offered
a place on the commission by Gover-
nor Hogg but declined. In 1892 he
was elected a district judge of the
district composed of Grayson and
Collin counties qnd there made a
record that lias never heen surpass-
ed. He served only two years on
the bench of the district and was
then asked to a higher place in the
judiciary of Texas, being elected tn
1899 an associate justice of the su-
preme court of Texas. In 1911 he
was elected chief justice of the
state.
His record is spotless, It fs one
of hard work, of faithful perform-
ance of duty, of the very highest
class of work.
His wife preceded him to the
great beyond several years ago, nnd
it will be beside her, in West Hill
cemeterv that he will be laid |to
rest. He Is survived by the follow-
ing daughters and grandchildren:

l * H*    f-
W^rlngton, May 26.—The eyes
of tb'iMmerlcan Protestantism turn
today to the first Convocation Day
of the American University, which
will be held on the grounds of that
Institution overlooking' the valley
of the Potomac. This interesting
ceremony was opened last year by
President Wilson. The convoca-
tion orator today is Dr. Janies Ros-
co Day, canceller of Syracuse Uni-
versity, whose outspoken criticisms
in opposition to governmental in-
terference with American commerce
and industry have added to his rep-
utation as a great educator. Dr.
Day is expected to give voice to
Ideas that may command country-
wide attention.
The gathering will be noteworthy
in many ways. Although the Uni-
versity is being developed under
the auspices of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, it is not a theological
Institution but rather represents the
endeavor of all Protestant denomi-
hatiohs to establish a notable ex-
periment in higher education like
nothing else that has been tried on
American soil.
The university Is unique not only
in spirit and purpose, but in its lo-
cation and affiliation. Its location
at the seat of the national govern-
ment. with'which its relations are
so close, gives it an eminence un-
rivalled among educational institu-
tions of the country. Under acts
of congress passed in 1892 and
1901. one of them drawn and
sponsored by William McKinley, all
the learning stored In twelve of
the most advanced departments of
the United Stales government Is
available to students^ The Library
of Congress, the National Museum,
the Bureau of Education, the De-
partment of Agriculture, the Patent
Office, the Bureau of Ethnology,
the Army Medical Museum, the Geo-
logical Survey, the Naval Observa-
tory, and many other storehouses of
information are opened up to the
students of the American Universi-
ty. Already students, under the
guidance or the University, have en-
tered upon courses tn connection
with these governmental bureaub.
No tuition fees are charged, ex-
cept fi\> dollars for matriculation,
the trustees believing that if the
government can offer its facilities
without cost they tire in fairness
bound to do the same.
Many years ago the American
University was thought of, and tot)
aeres were purchased. Its finished
College of History, its uncompleted
McKinley College of Government
building! *he only structures within
the grounds. Impress the observer
as a hopeful start of an ambitious
dream of the future. Chancellor
Franklin Hamilton and the trustees
who are supporting him believe that
If three additional buildings now
planned are completed In the near
future, their work will have been
well rewarded. The first of those
is a college of Comparative Religion
the second a school,........of American
History and the third a school of
Diplomacy. ‘~r---    /

100,000 men are wanted by the
National 1 armors’ Exchange, which
has headquarters here, for the har-
vesting of the big w'heat crop,

ginning in southern Oklahoma early
in June, the wheat harvest comes
with a rush when it starts. It
rapidly moves northward, passing
through Nebraska about the third

of temporary workers is being or-
ganized intelligently this year, with
a view of putting the men at the
right spot wherq they are needed,
and distributing them to meet all
demands.

braska has Increased some 600,000
acres in wheat, and tn Nebraska
alone not less than 75,000,000
bushels are expected.

care of the Oklahoma demands.
The men will begin work there next
week. From the Canadian River in
Oklahoma to the Platte in Nebras-
ka, the country is one great waving
v. heatfield with the plants in better
condition than over known before.

Washington, May 26—Although
the effects of Italy’s entrance Into
the European war ok American citi-
zens In that country has not yet be-
come apparent In the state depart-
ment’s actlvites, officials expect there
will be a considerable exodus - of
Americans.    1
Department officials Are unable to
estimate how many Americana there
are In Italy, but the number Is
large. Many, it is said, in anticipa-
tion of the breach between Italy
and Austria, applied to the depart-
ment dor documents establishing
their American cltlxenship. Most of
them are art students and tourists.
The department took steps some
time ago to prepare for a possible
rush of work at the consulates in
Italy by sending there a number of
assistants but the need of their
services has been minimised by th«
fact that the United States is not
burdened by caring tor foreign, in-

gage record Is not as full as It was
this time last year and tne real es-
tate transfers are falling off to a
slight degree, the automobile record-

When asked as to how the record
