EVIDENCE IN BREAD LINE Chicago 1'nWeri.lty Club Members Call Iron Man Hard Name and Snj Young; Men's Uablts Are rrrttjr Much Alike. CHICAGO. Spt. li. (Special.) Since R T. Crane, the millionaire Iron nun. published hie scathlns; arraignment of collegea. declaring that a large pro nortlon of atudenta drank to excess. gambled and trareled In fast company generally- tbere haa been a atorm of protest. To tbla. ilr. vrane naa reptieo characteristically. "So Prealdent LowelL of Harvard. are I am an Iconoclast, does he? My answer la that his Institution turns out cores of Iconoclasts and anarchists every rear." said Crane. "Who made the Investigation on which you base your chargeeT" ha was asked. "A Boaton newspaper man In whoae Integrity I have full confluence, lou notice that these professors do not come out with the reaults of any of their Investigations Into the morale of the students. They Just blindly deny my figures." "But this Investigation was made by you eljrht years ago. Io you not think that conditions and morals may have Improved alnceT "Morals Grsaiig Wars." "No. The best Information I have la that morals are growing worse. If fur ther proof Is necessary let me quota from a letter received from E. C Mer cer, who la special secretary of the Association of the Coliegea of North America. He haa been delivering lecture on the Vollege Men I Have Met In the Slums and Prisons of New York." He writes: "1 did say and I hava written proof to back me up that I had met person ally and have heard from the most re liable authoritiea of some 1100 college bred men In the slums, prisons. Jails and aanltariuma who were down and out through faat living. 1 have pictures of 80 of these men who have wound up In alums and prisons: also I have letters from SO others asking me for help. While I did slum work In New York City I came In personal contact with scores of these colleare men down and out. In the gospel tent on West atreet In New York last Summer 1 college-bred men applied for help. The noted bread line la constantly aug mented by college men." "The open manner In which a college student Daunts his depravity In the face of his fellows lowers their Ideala and blunts their moral sense. They Ond themselves ready Ilrsr to tolerate, then condone, and. eventually, to fol low the example. F.toeesaret Rccerd Clled. Take the record of Harvard In the elopements of sudents with chorus girls and other girls. Take the caae nn student from this city who re away with a widow, an escapade which coat hla family !.'" and forced him from Harvard. Kven the Harvard strong man flsured here and In Keno in acandala. "In answer to the denials of tha faculty I wl!l iy that the facts dis closed by my investigator will be ad mitted by any one at all familiar with college life to be the truth. Thla re port shows conditions and practices that cause these boyeto become rakes at SO and roues at 3'V Harvard and Vale clubs here are ratline Mr. Crnn hard names. Thomas Tiylor. Jr.. president of the Harvard flub, said: My notion is that the habits of tha young man of today are very much the same the country over I mean In col rK aa well na cut. It may be. perhapa, surprising, the ar.munt of drinking In early lif now. thouch there are no statistics tu show what It was : to SO years as:o. Vlsares re Qaestleaeal. "If the practice Is commoner today than It was. It la a reflection on the general orejanisatlon of the country. Our society has become more liberal toward what is a Continental habit. Over there it la not considered a vice." R. Warren Sailer, of the Cornell As sociation, said: "Mr. Crane is mistaken In his nrures. Take Cornell 10 per cent of tho frtfJ student are women, and they don't drink. Tiiree-fourths of the men are too poor to indulxe In ex cesses, even If thry want to. and two thlrda of them are in some athletic sport. They have a comprehensive sys tem of intercollegiate and fraternity sports, and that leaves a pretty small number of students that have oppor tunity or means for the vlcee he telle 'of. I think his figures are high. GOWNS ORDERED ABROAD Hop lor Quick Settlement of Wom en's Tailor Strike Given l'p. NEW TORS. Sept. 1.
