NEEDS OF PRINCETON.
New President Of University Says
His Plans Require $12, 200.
Proposes ito Make the Unde r. era d uat e
Work ALI the Time and He Tells
Alumni How He Expects
to Do IT.

DR.. Woodrow Wilson, the new presi-
dent of Princeton university, at a din
ner given in his honor at the Waldorf.
Astoria the other night by the alumni,
outlined publicly for the first time his
hopes for the extension of the uni
versity system at Princeton. DR..
Wilson made mastery speech, to
which the 500 old Princeton men pres
ent gave the greatest attention. When
DR.. Wilson said that not only did
Princeton need $12,50O,OOO to carry
his ideas but it meant to have that
sum there was a tremendous outburst
of applause, and cries from all over
the big dining-room indicated that in
his policy of extension President Will
son will have, not only the moral but
the material support of all the alumni
of the big New Jersey university.
A number of new songs, dedicated to
President Wilson, were sung.
When President Wilson was intro
duced he was greeted with three rous-
ing Princeton cheers. He went into
the details of his great ambition for
Princeton and then said: "Our dream
is to transform the thoughtless boy
into the thinking man. The trouble
with the modern undergraduate is that
he is thoughtless boy. He is boy
who does task because he is COM
PEELED to do it, and because he does
it that way his work counts for moth
ing at ALL This youth. is graduated
on no achievement. He is graduated
on scale of residence.
''It is not part of my proposition to
make the undergraduate work all the
time, but 7 do propose to make him
want to work all of the time, and 1
think there is a certain infallible way
to do this. Men must be examined on
topics, not on textbooks. You must
get your men inside of the subjects
they are trying to get out.
cit is our idea to transform the
youngster doing tasks to the man do
ing thinking, and I want to say to
you that all of this costs money. To
start our system will require two and
a quarter million dollars. / hear some
one whistling. Well, you must get
over that whistle because you must
get used to these figures. We are going
to get this money. ] suspect that
there are men here tonight who are
going to give it to me.
ITO do the other things l have
dreamed of it is going to take great
deal of money. I think have reckoned
it all out on a sound business basis and
the total that have reached is $12, $780,
600. There is no other university in
the world that can make so small a
sum of money go so far. There is no
other university which can turn this
money into so much good red blood"

Philanthropy is the weapon that has
been chosen by Henry Clay Frick and

Of course the stove leg has it's place.
Tt is great help sometimes in politi-

that your party stands for all that is

WHERE BABYLON WAS.
The Holland of Antiquity Now q
Dreary and Desert Region.

| From the Literary Digest.
| Prof. Friedrich Delitzsch of Babel and

peror and empress, out confined himself
this time to a report of personal ObServa-

| in Babylon, and a comparison Of condi-

From the Allgemeine Zeitung of Munich we
extract the following data given by Prof
Delitzsch
Ancient Babylon was the alluv1al land OF
the Euphrates and the Tigris region. about
equal in size to the Italy of today. and was

phenomenal wealth of vegetation and palm

OF the biblical period was the Holland OF
antiquity. Every king found his glory in
the extension of the waterway system and

centuries the work of the ruler in this re-

Colonna and Orsini.
From the New York Tribune

From the New 1Ork
There is an engaging flavor OF antiquity
in the current bit of news that the old feud
between the Colonna and Orsni families is
playing a part in the speculations and in
trigues over the selection Of successor to
Leo Kill Very far away seem the days
of Cola di RienZi, Of the Lord of Wiblingen
and the ambitious nephew of Bavarian

painting as we'll more matter-of- fact
history have for centuries celebrated the
great strife which for four centuries so
greatly troubled Rome and Italy. There
will be no more open war of Ghibelline and
Guelph. But the two great houses of Ro-
man mobiles which espoused the respective
sides are still puissant and still antago-
nearly eight centuries ago may have its
influence upon the doings of our day.
Each of the two houses has made its
mark on the record Of the papacy. and each
has been loyal to the holy see. There have
been two Orsini popes-members Of the
family-besides an unknown number more
or less under the Orsini influence. The
two were Nicholas III. in 1277, and Bene-
dict XIII, In 1924. The house of Colonna
has furnished only one occupant of ST.

Europe. The successor of Leo XIII will
not be a member Of either of these Illus
trious families. 1t may be, however, that
the influence of one Of them will turn the
scale in the election. In any case the ap-
pearance Of a ColOnna and an Orsini as
supporters of the new pope at his corona

the survival of old names. old rivalries and

At the INSTANCE of Mr.. Louis A. Dent.
register of wills, for the District Of Colum-
bia, a meeting of the Bar Association was
begun late this afternoon to consider the
matter of further regulating and fixing the
costs Of litigation IN the probate branch
of the District Supreme Court A week or
more ago. Register Dent wrote a letter to
the president of the Bar Association urging
that the local practitioners consider the
proposition mentioned. He suggested a re-
duction of the costs In many phases Of pro-
bate litigation, and in the case of small es-
tates where circumstances will permit, that
the issues be settled without cost to the
benef1ciaries. The idea is that the Bar AS
ISOLATION should formulate proposed bill
of costs and fees. In accordance with Mr.
Dents suggestions and submit the same
for enactment at the coming session of
Congress.
On motion Of Mr.. Charles w. Clagett the
following were appointed a committee to

Recent investiga tions of alleged cures Of

So far all attempts to destroy the germ

DEPUTY sHsRIFF ARRESTED.
Accused Of Carrying Weapons, but Re
leased on Personal Bonds.

Richard Hardesty, a deputy sheriff. of
Prince Georges county, Md. fell into the
clutches Of the local authorities yesterday
afternoon because he had in his possession
on a street car blackjack and a revolver.
The arrest was made by detective Watson,
who escorted Hardesty to the eighth pre-
cinct police station where he left $50 col
lateral for his appearance in the Police
Court today to answer to charge OF car
rying concealed weapons.
Hardesty, who is a nephew of Sheriff
Hardesty of Prince George county, pleaded
guilty to the charge when arraigned before
Judge Kimball this morning. In view of-the
fact that officers from other jurisdictions
are permitted by courtesy to carry weap-
ons In the city in connection with their
duties Assistant Corporation Counsel SIN
clair recommended to Judge kimball that
the defendant be released on his personal
bonds The court, however, before acting
on the request demanded to know the cir
cumstances which caused the Maryland
officer to be arrested
Detective Watson thereupon recited that
he was on a street yesterday afternoon
and that he noticed the defendant. who had
Just come in from the pool room at Wild
wood. with his coat removed and the Two
weapons protruding from his hip pockets
The witness explained that he suggested
to Hardesty that it would be better to re-
place his coat as the display OF weapons
might frighten some of the passengers on
the car Hardesty became indignant at
cuch a request and protested in his rights
as a law officer to carry weapons and re-
fused to put on his coat. When the juno
lion of 7th street and Florida avenue was
reached the detective informed HardeSty
that he would have to accompany him to
the station house. where he was relieved OF
his arms.
