Not for them the plain fare and the modest rooms of the dormitories in the "yard , " but handsomely furnished apartments , dainty food prepared by chefs of reputation , valets , motorcars and a dozen other luxuries of life- .It . has been estimated that included In the 4,000 , students iu the university V there are perhaps 400 of them whose combined wealth will some day ex- ceed ¬ $500,000,000 this , of course , not in their own right , but as representing the amount they will Inherit from their parents and other relatives- .It . is this fortunate 400 who eschew the simplicity of the "yard" and go to make up the population of the "Gold Coast , " as the group of dormitories along Mount Auburn and Bow street is known In Cambridge. These dormi- tories ¬ were erected as the result of private enterprise , In which C. D. Wet- moro of New York was the leading Bplrit. Wcstmorely , Randolph. Rus- sell ¬ and Claverly halls are the names of these handsome apartment houses for that Is what they really are In which the glided youth of the univer- sity ¬ live as luxuriously as do their fa- tliers - and elder brothers In their own palatial residences and clubs. Cruisers Along "Gold Coast. " The most exclusive of these dormi- tories ¬ Is Wcstmorely Court. Here lives the youth who is reputed to bo the richest student in Harvard in his own right ns well as a prince of the royal blood , and among them all they are the possessors of thirty automo- biles. ¬ . Marshall S. Wlnpenny of Phila- delphia ¬ is the one credited with the most wealth. Ho has between $25- 000,000 , - and § 30,000,000 and is credited with possessing an allowance of some- thing ¬ like $25,000 or $30,000 a year.- He . is a third year man In the law school , of studious habits and leading n very safe and sane existence. Un- like a large number of his friends In the university , he Is without the lux- ury of a motorcar , but he is charged with the extravagance of using soap that costs 4.50 a box of three cakes. The prince of the blood is Jalslnt- Qaekwar , son of the king of Barodn and one of the most Interesting per- sonalities In the student roll. To his intimates he Is known as "Jake , " and he managed without any dltllculty to spend something like $25,000 a year on his personal needs when he llrst wenl- to Cambridge. Indeed , so hot a pace did the young man set that his Amer lean guardian , Professor II. C. Bum' pus of the Museum of Natural History In New York , called a halt on his ex- travagance and had his allowance cut down to a pitiful $125 a month. A personal guardian was also placed ovei Jake In the person of Bob Potter o ! Philadelphia , Harvard's star second baseman , to whom his prlnceshlp musl report dally. Another of Westmorely's richest resl dents is Pierre Abreu , a freshman son of Mrs. Uosllla Abreu of Palant- lno. . Havana , Cuba , and of New York and Paris also. Abreu enjoys an In- come of $20,000 a year and has r- cently added to his comfort and en- Joyment by the purchase of a $0,00 ( automobile. Then there is J. Franclf- Flanagan , son of the Boston stock- broker , who holds the college recore by owning eight motorcars of various types. He worries along on $15,000 i- year. . His father also has the automo- bile mania and owns the largest garagi- in New England as well as the flnesi private swimming pool. Romance In Exclusive Hall.- Westmorely . also bad the dlstinctioi- of housing two young men who go Into the public prints by being prlncl pals In more or less romantic elope ments. One of them , Nelson Gammaus son of Mrs. G. G. Gummans of Port- land , Ore. , ran away a few mouths agi and married Mrs. Mary Gulffre , formei wife of Itufus Gaynor , son of Mayo Gaynor of New York. It was not a pop- ular proceeding with his mother , win promptly tied her purse strings , wltl the result that young Gammans hat to go to work to support his wife.

Frank Cutler in Boston , where ho earns $10 a week as an assistant book- keeper ¬ and general man of nil work. The second eloper , Graham Glass , Jr. , wna also from Portland. Glass acquired a wife in the person of Miss Helen Roche after a midnight ride to Nashua , N. II. As in his fellow towns ¬ man's case , the home purse strings had a double knot tied in them , and Glass , finding himself facing the alter- native ¬ of getting $500 a month and continuing his college career or of getting only $5 a week with board and washing if ho stuck to his wife , chose the former. Young Mrs. Glass there- fore ¬ filed a bill of divorce , which is expected to reach trial very soon. The foregoing list docs not by any means exhaust the names of West- morcly's - rich patrons. Others who en- Joy incomes between $5,000 and $10- 000 , - are Frank Myers of Bethlehem , Pa. ; Jimmy Brownleo of Spokane , Wash , ; Samuel ( "Bass" ) Warner , who gets his nickname through his father's connection with Bass' ale , and the Og- den - boys of Texas- ."Runners . Up" For Winpenny. While It is generally conceded that Wlnpenny Is the richest man in the university , he Is run a good second by William Astor Drayton , a relative of John Jacob Astor. Drayton , n mem- ber ¬ of the exclusive Union club of New York , has a private fortune es- timated ¬ at from $8,000,000 to $10,000- 000 , - , from which he has an allowance of $25,000 a year during his college days. Ho has a decided penchant for automobile rides , which are said to cost him about $000 a month , and a pretty taste In seascapes , with which the walls of his apartment are cover- ed ¬ , i Many of the pictures he acquired In Europe last summer when he and a party of friends crossed the ocean In a forty-five foot sloop- .Drayton . lives at Randolph Hall , where ho has as neighbors Henry Cary Morgan and J. 8. Morgan , Jr. , both relatives of J. Plerpont Morgan ; Morgan Bclmont , son of August Bel- mont - ; William Glover Rueter of the brewery family of that name ; Doug- las ¬ Lawson , son of Tom Lnwson , and John Angus Milholland , brother of Miss Inez Milholland. the militant suf- fragette ¬ of Vassar.- In . Russell Hall there is Herbert Weltzcl of Detroit , who is on a footing with Wlnpenny and Drayton as re- gards ¬ his allowance , which is $25,000- .Wcitzel . has planned n European au- tomobile ¬ trip for this summer and has already engaged passage on the Iver- nla - for himself and two automobiles. Geoff Biddle of Philadelphia , brother of Tony Biddle , the society boxer , and himself no mean exponent of the man- ly ¬ art , also lives in Russell. While there are not quite so many rich men in Claverley ns in the other dormitories along the "Gold Coast , " that hall has the distinction of shelter- ing ¬ Kertnlt Roosevelt , son of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt Kermlt probably has a smaller Income than any man in the four exclusive halls , but what he lacks in money he makes up in popu ¬ larity.- "Gold . Coasters' " Advantages.- It . is the general belief of the public that all Harvard students eat together in Memorial Hall , or Randolph , but this Is not so ns regards the "Coast" resi- dents. ¬ . In each of the four exclusive dormitories named there are large din- Ing - rooms where the men have their meals or else enjoy something brought In from expensive caterers In the se- clusion ¬ of their own apartments. All the dormitories have swimming pools. Comfortable lounging rooms are fur- nished ¬ with luxurious divans and easy chairs , while potted plants and palms , pictures , etc. , lend an air of luxury. Another advantage enjoyed by the "Gold Coasters" Is that In each dor- mitory ¬ are located tutors , some of them former Instructors in the univer- sity ¬ , who have a wonderful way of forecasting just about what questions will be asked at the midyear and final examinations. Their sen-Ices come high , but they can start on a man only two or three weeks before "exams" and pull him through with passable marks , so they are indispensable.- In . the night life of Boston the "Gold- Coasters" cut quite n swath. The the- aters ¬ and the more exclusive restau- rants ¬ know them , and it is even whis- pered ¬ that the temples of the goddess of chance are not unacquainted with some of them.

Some sharp discussions took place between ono or.- wo of the federal officers and the joneral , who upbraided them for what 10 termed their lack of honor , but his arguments were without result.

The team was found the fol- owing Sunday about two miles north- vest of this city.

The most damaging testimony to the state was witnesses Eaton , Howard , Rogers and a son of Rogers , who swore that they had seen Burdlct on the night of March 8 on the depot platform In this city when the 9:15- lassenger : train left here. The last hreo witnesses stated that when on- helr ; way homo they mot a man lead- ng - a team of horses that were har- nessed ¬ , about five miles out of town coming to Nellgh , and apparently from .ho direction of the Jones farm.

Stanton Is the only tean defeating Norfolk during the series- .Saturday's . game was a spectacula ono In many Innings. With the ex- ceptlon of only a few Nellgh players that team played a loose game am many errors were chalked up agalns- them. . The ball in Nellgh's hands wa fumbled frequently , which either nl lowed n base or n close score. Powell the usually fast shortstop for Nollgli- a had an off day and six errors won chalked up against him. Hln endeav- ors ¬ to make good at the bat wore fruitless. Allison , Nollgh'H fast first baseman , was the hero of the giuno.- Ho . was the only man getting a two bagger and the only man on his side of the team to make n run. Lucas for Norfolk was not far behind Allison on batting , having two clean hits to his credit. Mnpos , who plnycd an error- less ¬ game nil the way through at third , also padded his batting average by two clean hits and no strikeouts , Logan , although reliable at first , seemed stiff and not us lively as us- ual. ¬ . A few fumbles and tnlsjudgment- of distance of the ball thrown to htm caused four errors for him. Sullivan , catching for Nellgh , played the ga'mo all the way through and gave great assistance to Jenkins , who pitched a fair game. VanAllcn , on second base for Nellgh , found It Impossible to hold the ball and the Norfolkans took chances of making second , figuring solely on Van to cither drop or miss the ball. The errors of Huxford and Miller in the fifth inning cost Nollgh- n score. The one-handed catch of a foul by Allison on first was ono of the features of the game. The real feature , however , was the signalling and team work , on the part of the Norfolk players. The Infield fly , dropped purposely by Keleher , held Nellgh back from scoring. Kcl- eher - , with the aid of the Infioldcrs , again featured In signalling. Ho had made first on balls and ho forced Jen- kins ¬ to throw to first , while ho played well off toward the homo plate. Jen- kins - throw , but Kolcher made the bag , letting in a score from third.- In . another inning with no men down , Nellgh filled every base , but Denton hold steady and with good team work Nellgh was shut out- .Coker . as an umpire did not give per- fect ¬ satisfaction to either team. Ills decision on good strikes thrown by both Jenkins and Denton seemed not popular. Smith , Koerber and Logan md off days for batting.- Ncllgh . was given great credit for lot switching batteries and their 'game" efforts to at least save them- selves ¬ from n clean shutout The wind ' 'rom the south was very heavy and .lie clouds of dust which were blown n the faces of the players may have greatly handicapped Nellgh , who wore )layiug on strange grounds- .erage . , runs , put-outs , etc. ?

the boasted simplicity

DESPITE Harvard , Unit Beat ofpossesses n coterie of

wealthy students who in theirmode of living vie with the mostnybnrltlcal youth of the aristocracyof the countries of the old world.Not for them the plain fare and themodest rooms of the dormitories inthe "yard ," but handsomely furnishedapartments , dainty food prepared bychefs of reputation , valets , motorcarsand a dozen other luxuries of life-

.It

.

has been estimated that includedIn the 4,000, students iu the university

V there are perhaps 400 of them whosecombined wealth will some day ex-

ceed¬

$500,000,000 this , of course , notin their own right , but as representingthe amount they will Inherit fromtheir parents and other relatives-

.It.

is this fortunate 400 who eschewthe simplicity of the "yard" and go tomake up the population of the "GoldCoast ," as the group of dormitoriesalong Mount Auburn and Bow streetis known In Cambridge. These dormi-

tories¬

were erected as the result ofprivate enterprise , In which C. D. Wet-moro of New York was the leadingBplrit. Wcstmorely , Randolph. Rus-sell

¬

and Claverly halls are the namesof these handsome apartment housesfor that Is what they really are In

which the glided youth of the univer-sity

¬

live as luxuriously as do their fa-

tliers-

and elder brothers In their ownpalatial residences and clubs.

Cruisers Along "Gold Coast."The most exclusive of these dormi-

tories¬

Is Wcstmorely Court. Herelives the youth who is reputed to bo

the richest student in Harvard in hisown right ns well as a prince of theroyal blood , and among them all theyare the possessors of thirty automo-biles.

¬

. Marshall S. Wlnpenny of Phila-delphia

¬

is the one credited with themost wealth. Ho has between $25-

000,000,-

and §30,000,000 and is creditedwith possessing an allowance of some-

thing¬

like $25,000 or $30,000 a year.-

He.

is a third year man In the lawschool , of studious habits and leadingn very safe and sane existence. Un-

like a large number of his friends In

the university , he Is without the lux-

ury of a motorcar , but he is chargedwith the extravagance of using soap

that costs 4.50 a box of three cakes.The prince of the blood is Jalslnt-

Qaekwar , son of the king of Barodnand one of the most Interesting per-

sonalities In the student roll. To hisintimates he Is known as "Jake ," andhe managed without any dltllculty to

spend something like $25,000 a year on

his personal needs when he llrst wenl-to Cambridge. Indeed , so hot a pacedid the young man set that his Amerlean guardian , Professor II. C. Bum'pus of the Museum of Natural HistoryIn New York , called a halt on his ex-

travagance and had his allowance cutdown to a pitiful $125 a month. A

personal guardian was also placed oveiJake In the person of Bob Potter o !

Philadelphia , Harvard's star secondbaseman , to whom his prlnceshlp muslreport dally.

Another of Westmorely's richest resldents is Pierre Abreu , a freshmanson of Mrs. Uosllla Abreu of Palant-lno. . Havana , Cuba , and of New Yorkand Paris also. Abreu enjoys an In-

come of $20,000 a year and has r-

cently added to his comfort and en-

Joyment by the purchase of a $0,00 (

automobile. Then there is J. Franclf-Flanagan , son of the Boston stock-broker , who holds the college recoreby owning eight motorcars of varioustypes. He worries along on $15,000 i-

year. . His father also has the automo-bile mania and owns the largest garagi-in New England as well as the flnesiprivate swimming pool.

Romance In Exclusive Hall.-

Westmorely.

also bad the dlstinctioi-of housing two young men who goInto the public prints by being prlnclpals In more or less romantic elopements. One of them , Nelson Gammausson of Mrs. G. G. Gummans of Port-land , Ore. , ran away a few mouths agiand married Mrs. Mary Gulffre , formeiwife of Itufus Gaynor , son of MayoGaynor of New York. It was not a pop-

ular proceeding with his mother , winpromptly tied her purse strings , wltlthe result that young Gammans hatto go to work to support his wife. Hi-

Up" For Winpenny.While It is generally conceded that

Wlnpenny Is the richest man in theuniversity , he Is run a good second byWilliam Astor Drayton , a relative ofJohn Jacob Astor. Drayton , n mem-ber

¬

of the exclusive Union club ofNew York , has a private fortune es-

timated¬

at from $8,000,000 to $10,000-000

,-

, from which he has an allowanceof $25,000 a year during his collegedays. Ho has a decided penchant forautomobile rides , which are said tocost him about $000 a month , and apretty taste In seascapes , with whichthe walls of his apartment are cover-ed

"Gold

.

Coasters' " Advantages.-

It.

is the general belief of the publicthat all Harvard students eat togetherin Memorial Hall , or Randolph , but thisIs not so ns regards the "Coast" resi-dents.

¬

. In each of the four exclusivedormitories named there are large din-

Ing-

rooms where the men have theirmeals or else enjoy something broughtIn from expensive caterers In the se-

clusion¬

of their own apartments. Allthe dormitories have swimming pools.Comfortable lounging rooms are fur-nished

¬

with luxurious divans and easychairs , while potted plants and palms ,

pictures , etc. , lend an air of luxury.Another advantage enjoyed by the

"Gold Coasters" Is that In each dor-mitory

¬

are located tutors , some ofthem former Instructors in the univer-sity

¬

, who have a wonderful way offorecasting just about what questionswill be asked at the midyear and finalexaminations. Their sen-Ices comehigh , but they can start on a man onlytwo or three weeks before "exams"and pull him through with passablemarks , so they are indispensable.-

In.

the night life of Boston the "Gold-Coasters" cut quite n swath. The the-aters

¬

and the more exclusive restau-rants

¬

know them , and it is even whis-pered

¬

that the temples of the goddessof chance are not unacquainted withsome of them.

NAVARRO IS IN EL PASO.

El.

Pnso , Tex. , May 15. Gen. Navar-ro

-

, commander of the Juarez federalorces , who gave his personal parole-e Provisional President Madero Sat-irday

-

, and who was aided by the lat-er

¬

in escaping to the American sideof the river when his lifo seemed indanger , Is endeavoring to persuade the'ederal officers under him who brokeheir parole and cnmo to El Paso afterhe surrender , to return to Juarez and

report to the captors. Some sharpdiscussions took place between ono or.-

wo of the federal officers and thejoneral , who upbraided them for what10 termed their lack of honor , but hisarguments were without result.

The violation of the parole had much: o do with the sudden outburst Sat-.irday

-

In which many of the Insur-rectos demanded that Nnvarro be-

courtmarshalled , while others demand-ed that ho bo shot.

Incidentally , Gen. Navarro express-ed his deep gratitude for his kindtreatment at the hands of the Insur-recto leaders.-

"From.

Madero himself and otherchiefs of the revolutionists , I have hadall manner of consideration ," said Genttavarro. "I have told Madero , how-ever , that If my absence Is creatingdiscord for him to let them have me-

ns I highly appreciate what ho has-

done.

dlct was arrested on the afternoon of-

ho next day on suspicion by Officerackson. The team was found the fol-owing Sunday about two miles north-vest of this city. The accused had upmill the week previous been workingseveral months for Jones , and It wasbecause of his familiarity of the sur-roundings

¬

that his arrest was made-.Burdlct

.

was indicted by the grand Juryho first week In this month.-

A.

largo number of witnesses wereexamined in the case , who testified.o the prints In the mud and sand thatfit the shoes of the defendant per ¬

ectly.The most damaging testimony to the

state was witnesses Eaton , Howard ,

Rogers and a son of Rogers , whoswore that they had seen Burdlct onthe night of March 8 on the depotplatform In this city when the 9:15-lassenger

:

train left here. The lasthreo witnesses stated that when on-

helr; way homo they mot a man lead-ng

-

a team of horses that were har-nessed

¬

, about five miles out of towncoming to Nellgh , and apparently from.ho direction of the Jones farm.

Young Rogers and Dr. Howard testl-led that this man was A. B. Buckmas-er

-

, , because they recognized him by-

ils voice.-

In.

rebuttal to this damagalng testi-mony

¬

the state placed Lyman Keezer-on the stand , who swore that Buck-master was with him the entire dayof March 8 , in the country assistingin driving a well , and that both slepttogether in the same bed that night.This witness was not crossexamined-by the defendant Buckmaster wasmaking his home In Nellgh on thetime In question , but Is now a residentof Clearwater.-

In.

cross-examining the defendant bythe state It was attempted to provethat Burdlct had been arrested be-

fore at Valentino and South Dakotaon the charge of horse stealing , butthis was not admissible by the court ,

The case was ono purely of circum-stantial evidence. Attorney AndyMorrlssey of Valentino had been em-

ployed by the defendant , assisted byAttorney Rice of this city.

Fred Henry was a witness for thedefendant and had been In town tctestify , but when called was not foundabout the courthouse. Judge Welshstated to the clerk that Henry shouldnot bo allowed any fees In this casebecause of his absence when called.

Norfolk High School Champs-.Nellgh

.

went down In defeat to theNorfolk high school team by a scoreof 7 to 1 , In the last game of the hlglschool series played on the drlvlnjpark diamond Saturday afternoonThe winning of this game by the Nor-folk team makes them the championsof the northeast Nebraska hlglschools , having won five games anelost one. Stanton Is the only teandefeating Norfolk during the series-

.Saturday's.

game was a spectaculaono In many Innings. With the ex-

ceptlon of only a few Nellgh playersthat team played a loose game ammany errors were chalked up agalns-them. . The ball in Nellgh's hands wafumbled frequently , which either nllowed n base or n close score. Powellthe usually fast shortstop for Nollgli-

a had an off day and six errors won

chalked up against him. Hln endeav-ors

¬

to make good at the bat worefruitless. Allison , Nollgh'H fast firstbaseman , was the hero of the giuno.-

Ho.

was the only man getting a twobagger and the only man on his sideof the team to make n run. Lucas forNorfolk was not far behind Allison onbatting , having two clean hits to hiscredit. Mnpos , who plnycd an error-less

¬

game nil the way through at third ,

also padded his batting average bytwo clean hits and no strikeouts ,

Logan , although reliable at first ,

seemed stiff and not us lively as us-ual.

¬

. A few fumbles and tnlsjudgment-of distance of the ball thrown to htmcaused four errors for him. Sullivan ,

catching for Nellgh , played the ga'moall the way through and gave greatassistance to Jenkins , who pitched afair game. VanAllcn , on second basefor Nellgh , found It Impossible to holdthe ball and the Norfolkans tookchances of making second , figuringsolely on Van to cither drop or missthe ball. The errors of Huxford andMiller in the fifth inning cost Nollgh-n score.

The one-handed catch of a foul byAllison on first was ono of the featuresof the game.

The real feature , however , was thesignalling and team work , on the partof the Norfolk players. The Infieldfly , dropped purposely by Keleher ,

held Nellgh back from scoring. Kcl-

eher-

, with the aid of the Infioldcrs ,

again featured In signalling. Ho hadmade first on balls and ho forced Jen-kins

¬

to throw to first , while ho playedwell off toward the homo plate. Jen-kins

-

throw , but Kolcher made the bag ,

letting in a score from third.-In

.

another inning with no mendown , Nellgh filled every base , butDenton hold steady and with goodteam work Nellgh was shut out-

.Coker.

as an umpire did not give per-fect

¬

satisfaction to either team. Illsdecision on good strikes thrown byboth Jenkins and Denton seemed notpopular. Smith , Koerber and Loganmd off days for batting.-

Ncllgh.

was given great credit forlot switching batteries and their'game" efforts to at least save them-

selves¬

from n clean shutout The wind''rom the south was very heavy and.lie clouds of dust which were blownn the faces of the players may have

greatly handicapped Nellgh , who wore)layiug on strange grounds-
