SPYING. STUDENTS SAY.
Columbia Men Don't Want To Be
PyocfOrs

Indignation has been aroused among Columbia
students by an announcement that hereafter
all holders of fellowships and scholarships will
be held liable to act proctors in the uni
versity examina tions, to keep eye on their
classmates and prevent 'cribbing" or cheating
Many of the students of the university have
written to the authorities protesting in forclble
terms. If the system prevails it will go into
operation for the first time at the rnidyear ex-
aminations, which begin on Monday.
Those who hold fellowships and scholarships
have received this notice from the secretary OF
the university:
I am directed by the president of the uni
versity to inform you that, by the direction
of the trustees. hereafter the holders OF feliow
ships scholarships in any department or the
university will be held liable TO perform services
as proctors at the autumn entrance exarllna-
tions and at the semi-annual and concluaihs
e1amina tionS, without compensation
The Columbia Spectator" the students daily
newspaper. said in editorial:
While many of the scholarships and some OF
the fellowships supported from university
funds, the majority are maintetned by speclal
endowments made by benefactors Of the uni
versity. and for which the university is MADE
the trustee, and to contend that the holders OF
such endowed fellowshps and scholarships are
bound to act as university officers with or with
out compensation would seem bit of strained
logis. Such a policy if persisted in may
be expected to make the Phi Beta Kappa Key
the emblem of janitorial service.
In another editorial THE Spectator said:
II would be rather hard for man who lacked
means TO give Up a fellowship or scholarship.
but it seems TO us that If the rule is enforced
such q course would he preferab bic TO spying on
ones friends.
w Bayard Cutting and Francis s. Bangs
trustees OF Columbia. said last night that they
had not heard of the order.

THE BAR RECEIPTS INCREASE.
Metropolitan Club Man Lays 1t to Union
Members.

4 prominent member OF the Metropolitan Club
Is responsible for the statement that the eN-
tension about a year ago of house cards to the
members of the Union Club, which for some
time was without home. resulted in a pro-
nounced boom in the department where cock
tails mixed.
The Metropolitan said The Tribune's in
formant. is a staid substantial and exclusive
organization. There isn't any trouble in raising
funds to keep things going in an almost ideal
manner. At the same time our Union Clup
friends have unconsciously, you might say, given
US pointer on how it is that they always have
a lively crowd down there. Our bar receipts
in normal times figured UP to just about 81 90
day.
I'VE got used TO that, and it never occurred
to Us that they We're inconsiderable until.
prompted by just ordinary club courtesy, we
extended house card privileges to the members
of the Union Club. Suddenly our bar trade be-
gan TO increase, and recent computation OF
the daily receipts shows that they jumped from
S12 30 a day TO about S135 day. I think one
of the secrets of the increase is that our friends
from the Union Club sort of felt that, mas
much as we had extended them the courtesies
of our eSta blishment. it was incumbent on them
to rejuvenate a particular branch Of the Metro
politan Clubs service that always has enjoyed
exemption from strenuousness.

TRIES TO THROW BABE FROM WINDOW
Fire in Mott-st Stable Puts Tenement
Houses in Panic

-Four alarms sent in for a fire which
started shortly after 10 o'clock last night in the
Columbia Boarding Stables, owned by William
Adams at Nos. ls7 and 1Ss Mott-st. There were
about hundred and fifty horses in the stable
at the time, and all were saved.
1t is thought that the fire started from expo-
sion of gas the top floor. 1t spread to the six
story tenement house at No. 19l Mott-st., and
threatened the tenement house at No. IS5. The
people in several OF the surrounding tenement
houses fed in panic. The damage will be about
$20000 according TO an estimate made by Acting
Chief Purroy.
There twenty families in the tenement house
No. 191 Mott-st., and when that building caught
fire they fed in panic. Those the upper stories
left all behind them, but the other floors bed
ding and valuables removed. The police drove
the people from the next tenement house to the
north and two the south of the stable and In the
tenements in the rear, in Mulberry-st.
The greatest excitement prevailed among the
occupants OF the three story frame tenement house
at the rear of No. 1870 Mulberry-st. Roundsman
Anon rushed to the top floor. In front he
found who had evidently just risen from
her bed attempting 10 throw her four-year- old
son out of the window Anon pulled her back
and she struggled to get free He had 10 carry
her down to the next floor The policemen first
got the women and children out, and then allowed
the men gather such bedding and other effects
q they could and take them TO place of safety.

APPEAL FOR LARGER NAVY.
Maritime Association Indorses Secretary
Moody's Recommendations.

The Maritime Association of the Port Of New
York made public yesterday letter sent TO mem
bers of Congress. favoring increase in the navy
and declaring the existing forces inadequate TO
properly maintain the position into which rapid
advancement has carried and is still more rapidly
carrying the nation.
The vessels stationed at 'oversea terri
tory barely sufficient foy present demands,
the letter says, and though the Monroe Doctrine
has been vigorously asserted, the navy is too
small successfully combat violation OF II.
This danger will grow worse with time, Euro
pean powers are large holders OF the bonds Of
South American republics. and are so largely in
terested in their commerce that they practically
hold mortgages those countries.
The association advises that the navy equip
ment be doubled, and indorses the recommends
tons of Secretary Moody.

cost of completing the building will be about s25.-

would have to be about S5000o0. The proposition
gives until June TO raise the amount

the Roosevelt and Presbyterian hospitals needed
money badly and if it had not been for the sale

been in the same boat.
A resolution was passed approving the proposition
of Mr.. Halls and urging the churches to help the
movement.
