ABOUT THIRTY WITNESSES CALLED

All the Evidence Taken Down Stem
graphically -Tne Committee Pledged to
Secrecy.
specialCorrespondenc of Gazette and journal
NEWARK, April 26.-The statement
made in this correspondence several
nights ago that the Delaware College
investigation was going to be much
more searching and general than cx-
pected in local circles was doubted BY
some local trustees and declared "irre-
sponsible,n usual course they adopt
toward any statement that does not hap
pen TO be in iull accord with their own
private belef-and wish.
Last night, however, after the first
days meeting of the investigating com.
mittee they had changed their minds
and concluded that EVERY EVENINGS
statement was perfectly warranted after
all. But this is net the first time such a
thing has happened and it probably
will not be the last, SO long as few
trustees resent every statement, how
ever true, that the newspapers make in
regard TO the college.
There was full attendance of the
committee yesterday and the session
opened shortly after 10 o'clock with
Lewis Y. Nandegritt presiding over us
deliberations. As was to be expected
and quite properly SO, considering all
things-the sessions were secret and the
committee was pledged to divulge no
testimony that came before it. All day
the college janitor was busy summon.
ing witnesses through polite printed in
vitations to come before the committee
and with one or two exceptions, they
were all responded to. Among thost
testifying yesterday were all the loca
trustees, to some of whom it was mos
distasteful, President Raub, severa
members of the faculty and a few towns
people, including several ministers.

HIGGINS HAD NO LISTENERS
His Dreary Speech Delivered
to Empty Seats.
A REPUBLICAN POLICY OF DELAY
Killing Time in order to Kill
the Tariff Bill.



WASHINGTON, April 26.-The inter-
esting and edifying spectacle of Repub-
lican Senatorial tilibustering continued
this afternoon in most aggravated
form. The accidental Republican Sena-
tor from Delaware consumed three
hours in reeling off lot of most dreary
and stupid rubbish about Hawaiian
affairs. He had not one solitary listener,
but this was a matter OF no consequence.
The object to be attained was delay in
the consideration of the tariff, and that
was successfully accomplished.
The irrepressible Dolph, who has been
on the floor nearly every day for two
weeks, jumped up as soon as the Della
ware man sat down, and started off on
one of his interminable rambles.. He
appears to be proud as peacock in his
role of chief INSTRUCTOR, arching his
neck, ruttling his feathers and strutting
around. The carpet for five feet square
| about his desk is more OF less worn from
his constant tramping. The Republican
Senators in all the years of Mr.. Dolph's
service have never brought themselves
to the point Of affecting any interest in
what he says on any subject, but now
they are much delighted at his proving
himself such useful adjunct in the
tilibustering tactics.
Senator Sherman is reported as hay
ing said in private conversation that the
Republicans would still be debating the
Tariff bill in September. In other
words, the Republican Senators have
deliberately resolved, if they have the
power, to continue indefinitely the
present business inactivity and distress
No better evidence can be given of the
absence of all sincerity in their loud.
mouthed professions Of concern for the
public welfare. 1t will be plliable should
the Democratic majority succumb tc
this attempted domination of the
minority. The country will unquestion
ably approve if Mr.. Mills suggestions
are adopted and some means awaited Of
to force conclusion. 1t will not be
difficult to discover method, and there
should be no hesitation about putting il
Ill execution. Mr.. Dolph, who has TALKED
SO many hours about nothing, reiterated
in chuckling way the threat which h,
has thrown out several times before, o
his intention to ''discuss the subject a
.. length" hereafter. What an absurditl
and crime it is to hold on to custom
and rules which permit such men a
Dolph to stand in the way of the inter
esSs of nation of scores of millions.

Some Principles That should Govern the
Action of the Trustees.

Action of the Trustees.
Editor Gazette Dc Journal: The whole
question of the Delaware College in
vestigatlon seems to have resolved itself
into an inquiry as to the competency
and efficiency of the president, Dir.
Raub. The fitness of the other members
Of the faculty is conceded. Now, |
know nothing whatever of the evidence
before the investigating committee, but
there are certain principles, which, |
think, ought To govern the action OF the
trustees.
/. They are bound to have for presi-
dent of the college the very best man
that can be obtained for the salary of
$4,000.
2. DR.. Raub has no vested claim to the
position of president, and if he is not, in
the Judgment OF the trustees, the best
man that can be obtained for the high
salary paid he ought to be displaced.
3. 1t follows that it is not necessary in
order to justify his removal that DR..
Raub should have been guilty of grave
offence or serious rlisdemeanor.
A. 1t is absolutely essential to the
prosperity of the college that the trus-
tees should be practically united in their
support of the president of the institu-
ton. A house divided against itself can
not stand. ALUMNUs,

The boys of the Ferris Industrial
School gave very pleasant entertain

Friday night. Bishop Coleman presided

warmly for more popular encourage.
ment of the institution and interest in IL
by the citizens.
Chief Justice Lore's illness prevented
his presence. He was TO have made an
address. In his place Mrs. Frances S.
Garrett read all important paper show
ing the present status of the school.
The average number in the family the
past year, she said, has been "a, the
number Of boys AS, fifteen being com.
nitted during the year. The number
of boys now in the school is 30. The
cost of food amounted to $26S3, which
included all groceries, meats and farm
produce. The average cost per person
was 10 SO cents a day.
Since the publishing of the last report
manual training school has been
started, carpenter has been hired by
the month and the boys arc being IN
structed in doing the repairs about the
farm, thus giving them an idea OF the
use of tools. The school has had dona-
tons of four scroll saws and some gen
tlemen had been sending their empty
cigar boxes, which is good material
for the boys to work upon, and the con
struction OF small articles has given the
boys great pleasure.
The managers realized, she said,
that congcnial employment is al
| important factor in reform. There
| were other industries which the com
mittee would like to introduce, bu
| they have not the means. The commit
| tee did not like to be continually bring
| ing their wants before the people. They
| did not think this was the best way tt
raise money,ssas it was making the few
do the work of the many. She though
the county should help the institution
more substantially than it had beer
doing.
Mrs. Garrett wished it to be borne il
mind that the Ferris Industrial Schoo
is not an institution for punishment hu
for reformation. A great factor in re
formation is happiness. 1t is to max,
the boys happier than they were tina
they are brought before the public.
The vocal renditions by the boys las
night were excellent and proved thei
qualification for education in music
The Jubilee singers comprising the col
ored boys was very fine. A lad namel
McCafferty sang a solo in excelen
manner. The quartet by Colwell
McCafferty, Stafford and Eberhart wa
warmly applauded.

Eva Clark, a traymaker at the Berlin
Veneering Works, had narrow escape
from horrible death yesterday. She
was walking from one side of the large

was jerked off her feet and being pulled
on tine rapidly revolving machine, Her
screams attracted the attention of Frank
Bartlett, who ran to her assistance, and
with almost superhuman efforts he
managed to pull the woman away. She
was badly hurt, however, but will re-

Always Business for LAWYERS,

The Baltimore Record, legal daily
copies the following from the Lawyers
General Digest:
A story which the Digester heard from the
pulpit. and therefore knows to be true, al
though he has never seen it in print, tells o.
a lawyers explanation of his course in life
which covered an experience as preacher
physician and lawyer in succession. He said
that he began life with high ideals of doing
good as preacher ofthe Gospel, but inability
to procure sufficient support for his family
compelled a change. He then turned to
practicng medicine as a business that might
be both benevolent and remuneratve, bu
found that the gratitude of patients evaporated
with returning health, and many forgot tc
pay. AT last he took up the practice of law
and found, as he said, by abundant success
in that field that men would pay more to hor,
their o~m rag than to save soul and body
both.
