Oxford Turns Cold
Shoulder on Students
of Chinese Republic
OXFORD, Eng., April 21.—More
than four hundred residents graduate
members of Oxford Uniersity, includ
ing the vice-chancellor and proctors,
the public orator, 22 heads of colleges
and 32 professors and readers, have
addressed to the foreign secretary a
memorial recommending that the Brit
ish share of the Chinese Boxer indem
nity Fund be spent exclusively upon
educational and medical work.
There is no enthusiasm over the
proposal that a number of Chinese be
educated in the English universities.
The universities are well filled at
present and there is reason to believe
that neither dons nor students really
desire the presence or company of a
further number of Oriental students.
The Admiral Peary sailed yesterday
morning for ports south, after unload
ing a quantity* of freight at this poit.

! MODISTES TURN TO BRIGANDS
IN SEARCH FOR NEW FASHION
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, April 21.—The highway
man’s cape worn by robbers in the
time ofi King George 1, is coming into
fashion this spring for women. Capes
generally are in favor but the style
made famous by Dick Turpin, the Jes
se James of England 200 years ago,
and other notables in the robbing
game have been particularly popular,
most of them dipping far past the
waist line, many of them scallopwise.
Among the first to follow this vogue
was Miss Ava Bodley, well known in
society, who was married recently to
Robert Wigram, secretary of the Brit
ish Embassy in P’aris. Mrs. Wigram's
going away costume included a cape
over a long coat which matched a pale
I mignonette green dress and green felt
! hat.

the steward’s cabin, with Roe Dyke
man as purser. The Starr will sail

trip of the season.

ling.

“Woman Who Gave”
Boasts Great Cast
Barbara Bedford, Robert Frazer,
Renee Adoree, Frank Keenan, Joseph
Dowling and Margaret Seddon play
the principal roles in “Women Who
Give,” Reginald Barker’s latest pro
duction, which comes to the Liberty
Theater tonight.
The production is an adtptation of
“Cape Cod Folks,” Sarah P. McLean
Greene’s classic of the New England
coast It has been filmed in unusually
thrilling and dramatic style providing
motion picture entertainment of the
very highest quality and is decidedly
one of the most interesting produc
tions to play in this city.
A wonderfully realistic shipwreck
with a fishing schooner smashed to
pieces on the rocks, a life and death
struggle with a huge swordfish, the
firing of a fisherman’s cottage and
tense dramatic moments too numer
ous to mention all, tend to make
“Women Who Give” a photodrama
that no lover of motion pictures will
care to miss.
