With advantages that would seem to make it an ideal place for a university Buffalo's only higher insti- tution of learning is a, \university\ of a medical shool, a law school, a school of pharmacy and a dental college, No undergraduate de- partments; no schools apart from those named above and no college life. 1 The first step toward making the university a \Feal univefsity will soon be taken by the Council\ Since the death of Hon. Wilson S. Bissell, the chancellorshtp-has been-vyaucant and It is now intended to secure the services of a young, energetic man who, being liber» ally pald, will be able to devofe his en- tire time to the interests of.the univer' sity, Dr. Charles Cary, who is a member of the medical faculty and who has for years shown his interest in the Insti- Autlon said today: \I ve can find the * right man for chancelior, one who can devote his entire time to the interests i. of the university a long stride toward & greater university will have been taken,. What we want is a young, en- ergetic man. Not one that is merely an educator and nothing else but one who can by his own personal magnetism and ability be of service to the uni- .§exl';flty In directions outside the lecture alls. WILL BE A GENEROUS SALARY. \The salary pald will be in keeping with the man's ability, The money for the salary will be ruised by the mem- bers of the council from the present re- sources of .the university.\ \It has long been my ambition to make a university In every sense of the word of the institution. It seems as If the present time was most propitious for «uch a movement to be begun. \The 'present departments of the Uni- versity of Buffalo are excellent. They will compare favorably with similar de. partments In any other educational in- stitution in the country. There is only one reason, and that is the luck of in endowment, why we should not have here academie and other undergraduate departments which will be fully as good as the present medlcal, dental, law and pharmacal «chools. \There can be no question about the merit of Buffalo as an educational cen» ter. There are facilities here that few other cities have and if the necessary endowment can be secured with the excellent educational nucleus which we now possebs there Is no reason why the enterprise could not be launched under the most favorable nusplces. When Ezra Cornell was planning Cor- nell University he remarked. \I Intend if possible, to found a school where a \man can go and learn anything and everything.\ R It is the Intention of those who nre moat interested in the University to make of It a seat of learning where in- atructors and methods will be second to none. Men like Dr Roswell Park Dr. Charles Cary and Charles CV Goodyear are at the head of the Univer: rity at présent and they are determined to have a university here that will compare favorably with any college in | the country. U possibliities in the fleld of education are so many,\ 2s At present there are in the four de- partments of the University of Buffalo over 700 students. With an academic course, a school of pedagogy and kin- dred courses it would be a very short period before this number would be doubled. [--Dr. Park further said: '\Now owe want a young man aggressive and thor- oughly up to date. With such a one at the head of the university there is no question about \the development and growth of the university.\ Every effort wlll be made to secure endowment for the university. The present schools are dependent entirely on the receipts from tuition fees for their support The lnstructog}, many of them men preeminent in their profes- slons, are inadequately compensated, and in some cases the money patd them has been at once returned to the college, It has been a labor of love with these men.

' HIS SHOP WAS . LAVISHLY FITTED, ® «(From 'Thureday's Last Edition.) Half a dozen warrants and half a hundred irate people await the return to Buffalo of Max Krieger, who con- ducted a wonderful lttle tallor whop at 1405 Main street until he locked up the place Tuesday and went away. Three or four business concerns and dozens of customers who left clothes with the tailor would very much appreciate a sight of the young man. Several hun- dred dollars' worth of mens' and wom- en's clothes are, sald to have been pawned by Krieger just before he left town. About $50 worth of silk which was delivered at his place on Tuesday found its way to a pawn shop. The Electrical Construction Company wishes an accounting for a bogus $50 check given. to them by Krieger about a week ago and incidentally demand the return of $1256 worth of electrical fittings put In Krieger's shop a few weeks ago. The police have several warrants\Charging larceny and a gys- i tematle search for young K..eger has been started. v* The shop at 16050 Main street is a tiny affair but magnificently furnished with tapestry, Brussels carpet, mahog- any furniture, a Juxurious roll tap desk, and electrical equipment that might grace a mansion. So far as can be learned none of this stuff is pald for,. A representative of the Electrical Construction Co., tried to take out his costly fixtures this morning but- young Krieger's mother and father appeared son before he left. The elder Kriegers say they pald $1000 for the furnishings In the store and they are going to pre- vent their removal If they can. The clothing consisted of costly gowns, men's evening clothes and busl- ness suits,. Much of it has been re- covered in pawn shops and detectives are stilll locating quantities of It, Krie- ger, it is sald, took the clothing to clean and then put off the owners from time to time until Tuesday. Residents of several apartment houses in the immediate neighborhood nre for the most part the losers, One woman tried to get a dress she had being cleaned. Krieger was discour- teous, the woman claims, and made a menacing movement, A ringing slap on the ear which sent him sprawling was his reward and the woman calmly did up the dress und walked out. A young mun from Cornell College, whose parents live at the Markeen, sent a sult to be cleaned and there was a dispute about It, Krieger a few min- utes later went to the drug store of F. A. Darrin at Main street and Glenwood avenue und the druggist spent half an hour repairing a budly battered face, Altogether Krieger's business career in Cold Spring has been full of troubles.

Senator George A. Davis, as has been stated in the NEWS, has under consid- eration the introduction of a bill whish. will be of the greatest interest to tax- payers, owners of personal property in particular. Should.this bill be enacted all of the present taxes on personal property will be done away with and in- stead a single tax of two mills on the dollar will be substituted. * In other words, whereas in the city of Buffalo, for instance, personal property pays a tax of $22 a thousand (or is sup- posed to) personal property under Sen- ator Davis' blll would pay a tax of $2 a thousand. © The great difference, according to Senator Davis.is, that the $2 tax would be palTd whereas the $22 is usually dodged. The plan is to have one-third of the proceeds from this tax go to the State and two-thirds to the locality in which the tax is levied. Another feature of the proposed law is that personal prop- & « erty would pay the tax where found.\| Then the possessor of a 'stock of goods in Buffalo would not be able to escape taxation by saying' that they were owned in, Néw York or some other place. . \In this city and county, Davis in discussing the subject this morning, \there is a vast amount of property of a personal nature which is escaping taxation. <In Cheektowaga, for instance, are 'located the immense foal trestles of the Lackawanna and Le- high Valley rallroads. During 10 months in the year there is probably $176,000 worth of coal standing in these trestles which do not pay one penny in taxes, although the owners, in case of trouble, would not be slow about asking form po-, lee or miltary proteciion for whith owners of real estate would have to pay sald Senator n this clty, in the Mooney building and other buildings, are housed perhaps a million dollars' worth of diamonds which ure not paying a dollar toward the expenses of the fire and police pro- tection which they enjoy or toward the' expei.sively paved streets which make It easy and convenient for people to drive up and purchase the diamonds. \Then continued Senator Davis, \there are the valuable stocks in the stores, the rolling stock of the street rallway company and the automobiles and public and private carringes, all of which have the beneflt of asphalt pave. ments which are pald for by taxation of real estate and toward which the other kinds of property named pays, in fact, practically nothing as the Ianw is adminiatered at the present time, in these days of swearing off trxes. \Then there is a billlon of dollars In the anvings banks which is escaping taxation. The idea of the Assessors seems to be that money In savings {n- stitutions is exempt from taxation, This Is not so, and there 'is no reason why a man having $1000 in a savings bank should eschpe taxation while a man with $1000 In hla pocket should be taxed and a man with $1000 In real estate can- not escape faxation,. \My theory is tnat if there is a amall tax on personal property (t will be paid -that men will not stultify themselves by swenring off a tax of $2 on the thou., sand, whereas they will resort to eva. akon and false oaths to escape a tax of $22 on the thousand 'l ' Billy and I They aay thes are gains to shoot you, Od Billy. but dow t you fret, For the fellow who dares to meddle with You must reckon With me. you bet, You're a poor »ld horse, Ohd Billy. and you aren t worth much.

Wars were very frequem he- tween the European powers In those das«. and geenrally over some event of no great Importance. But. as in the Boer war, beneath all the: confllets there was the struggle for racial ex- istence or supremacy. When Spain happened to be Involved the scene of conflict was usually shifted to the Car- Ibbean Sea because the trenaure ships of the Spaniards, laden with gold and rilver from the mines of Central and Rou'h America, were such rich prizes for their captors, Capture of Porto Bello. In 1789 some English trading ver- rels were seized by Spanish const guamis for carrying cargo which they alleged was contraband. This the Eng- lish depfed, fosistnag that they bad a rgh! to carry t by the terms of a treaty when gave them certan prvleges. such as the rght to cut and transport log- wml. ete. Anyway, they were deter: mined not to submit to any trade re- strctions, and, by way of reprisals, Ad- mira! Vernon, the commander-in-chief in the West Indies, attacked and cap- tured Porto Bello, on the Isthmus of Darien. The Spaniards determined to avenge the blow, and the French, eag- er tn join in the fray, fitted out shipa to heip them. The British government therefore declared war. Troops were sent from England to the West logdles, ani it was ordered that a regiment corsisting of four battalions, was to be raised in the North American colonies | to imin the expeditfon to Jamaica. The | raising of this regiment caused quite | an outbreak of railltary ardor.
