DISCUSS CARNEGIE's GIFT.
Dean of Columbia Says Students Fees
viii Not Keep Up Colleges.


New York. May 22.-Regarding An
drew Carnegie's gift Of $4,000, 900 to
provide education in the Edinburgh,
Glasgow. St Andrews and Aberdeen
universities for Scotch students, and
the fact that the students fees, to the
payment of which the gift is devoted,
for each student, while the university
expends from 500 to e30 pounds in
educating him, Prof. VanAmringe, dean
OF Columbia university, said last night:
In any well conducted university the
tuition fees do not pay anything like
the cost of tuition. 1t is so with US,
and SO, ] take 1t, with every progressive,
frst-rate institution The plant, the
things you must provide for admins
tering the institution in the best pos
sible way, cost more than would be
feasible for the student to pay After
you get a certain number of students
you must increase the teaching staff
and enlarge the laboratory facilities,
and in that sense a large increase Of
students would mean an increased eX-
penditure, but not necessarily an ex-
penditure in proportion.
Mr.. Carnegie's gift is no doubt
munificent one and its intent is liberal
and humane. have a feeling. however,
that what you get too cheaply you es-
TEEN too lightly. It is .unquestionably
true, as have said, that students fees
do not pay what it costs to educate
them, and a large increase of students
at a university would entail increased
expenses for teachers and laboratory
accommodations"

SECOND WARD SEWER.
Efforts to Secure One Are
Again Renewed.

People in the Second ward are very
much in favor of the construction of a
sewer in that part of town, and it is like
~ that within few weeks the matter
will come officially before the city coun-
ell.
The question of sewer in the Second
ward is one which has been up several
times in the history Of the city. The
health officers agree that the eastern
portion of town will never be a strictly
sanitary district till a sewer is laid
City Engineer Kingman and City
Engineer Barnes, when they were in
office did some figuring on the PROPOSE
ton, and decided that a sewer for the
Second ward will cost at least $3.50, 600.
It will have to be Of large dimensions. in
order to carry off the storm water. The
ground IS so low that it will be impossi-
bic to provide for much fall in the
grade.
Funds for the construction of a sewer
are secured very much are the funds
for building pavement. A benefit district
is created, the property in this district
assessed, and a tax levied which is coll
1ectible. as is the paving tax, IN ten
yearly installments.
Councilman Griley, from the Second
ward says that he is going to make it
the object Of his official life in the eoun-
ell to get a sewer for the Second ward
He says that the people down there are
all favor a sewer except few kickers
who exist in every community.
Councilman Meyers, also from the Sec
ond is in favor Of sewer. and these
two counciImen will make hard fight
for the proposition.

MAGAW WILL HOLD ON
Refuses to Turn Over Office of
Police Judge.

Frank P. Lindsay. who was appointed
police judge last night by. Mayor
Hughes, will not be able to gain control
of the Office Immediately, and will be
forced to bring legal actions to even
tually secure it, unless he is content to
wait until the time of the expiration of
the term of Police Judge Magaw.
When Mr.. Magaw was appointed by
Mayor Drew it was for the term of two
years, and that time will not end until
October 30
4 will not relinquish the Office" Mr.
Magaw said to a State Journal re-
porter this morning, until the expira-
ton of my term. The only manner in
which Mr.. Lindsay may get control of
the office is by quo warranto proceed
ings."
Mr.. Magaw dispensed justice as usual
in the police court this morning. No
effort was made to GUST him from the
office. Shortly after the session of the
police court Chief Stahl. Mr.. Lindsay
and Assistant City Attorney D. T.
Gregg held a conference in the chief s
office relative to the matter.
A State Journal reporter saw Mr..
Lindsay just as he was leaving the
office after the conference ended, and
asked him what efforts he would make
to get the office.
4 have not given the matter much
consideration" he answered. L had
the understanding that Mr.. Magaw
would turn the Office over to me as soon
as the matter was settled and have not
contemplated being forced to bring a
legal action to get it
I will consult with the city attorney
and the mayor in regard to the Ques-
ton he said, and will be governed
largely in the matter by their advice.
Rest assured, however, that there will
be no delay in taking such steps as are
necessary to bring the matter to a
focus.
when I was appointed by Mr.
Hughes about three weeks ago" he con-
tinued, L had a talk with Mr. Magaw.
and he assured me that he would turn
the office over to me. AS soon as the
injunctions in the Parker-Hughes con-
test case were filed he asked me to
allow him to remain in the office until
the matter was finally settled. for he
said that if he was in the Office and
Parker won the suit it might be the
means of securing his reappoin tment.
consented, and afterwards when I asked
Mr.. Magaw about turning the office
over to me he tried to back down on
his former proposition, and told me
that he was going to hang on to it as
long as he could"
Papers asking for a restraining order
were made out by Mr.. Magaw's at
torneys this morning. so that in the
event of Mr.. Lindsay's attempting to
get control of the police court at the
afternoon session all that would be
necessary would be to finish filing out
the blanks and present them to the
proper officials.
