PUSH INQUIRY.
The Governor of New York
Determined to Prosecute.
Another Tangle in Complicated Ship
building Company Case.
Some Of Bond Sellers Willing to Make
Restitution.

New York, Feb. There were sew
oral conferences, yesterday, among the
men connected with the United States
cbinbuilding Co. scandal who have
reason to believe that they will be in
volved in the criminal prosecutions
which have been decided on.
Edward Lauterbach, counsel for Gov.
oaell. and other upstate owners of
sbipbulIding bonds, were consulted by
the attorneys of some of these men, and
Inv the principals themselves in two
Instances. Mr. Lauterbach refused to
make any statement for publication,
and ex-Assistant District Attorney
lanes W. Osborne, who has been
drawn into the case, refused 10 say
orythiag which would make clear his
connection with the matter.
II was said that certain men who
r.or the consequences of prosecution
an criminal charges, offered, yesterday,
IA make restitution TO the Governor
and his associates for the money they
haze lost. but they We're told that the
time for any kind of a money settle

that have already been taken must be
continued 20 the emu.
These men, it is said, We're plainly
told that the Governor and the men
with him, having made up their mlnds
that tho criminal laws had been Vio-
lated in the Shipbuilding case, were not
going to be deferred from prosecuting
the guilty parties by the payment OF
any amount Of money.
one of the governing board of the
Stock Exchange declared, yesterday.
that the reason that institution has not
vet publicly taken ooSniZance of the
false report submitted to it by the
Shipbuilding CO. was that it has always
been the policy of the Exchange never
TO take action of its own while the af-
fairs of the interested company are in
the courts. This policy is the outcome
of q desire on the part of the Exchange
not 10 do anything which in any way
will influence judicial findings in any
pending case.
This explanation of the Stock EX-
changes inactivity in the matter is not
satisfactory to many of its members
who believe that the exceptional ma
turc Of the Shipbuilding scandal and
the fact that the company may be in
volved in litigation for several years
TO come warrants departure.
1t was learned, yesterday, that the
governing board of the Exchange has
had before it for several weeks all OF
the facts and documents bearing on
the false report submitted by the Ship

The failure of the Exchange to put
itself formally and publicly on record
in the case. however, is irritating &c
many of the members and majority

PRINCETON MEN EXPELLED.
Committee Finds Them Guilty Of
Cheating in Examinations,

princeton, n. j., Feb. 5.-Four fresh
men and i student irregularly connect
ed with the university have been tried
by the student committee on n charge
OF cheating in examinations. and being
found guilty, We're expelled by the fac
ulty.
Ihe testimony taken by the commit
tee shows that Il son of John Thomp-
son. who IS employed in a printing
office where examination papers are
prepared, obtained a copy of questions
for a subsequent examination that had
been accidentally mislaid and gave the
copy to his father The latter, it is
charged by the committee, arranged
with Thomas Kinney. a waiter in
freshman eating club, to sell copies of
the questions.
Certain members of the freshman
class were approached with a PROPOSE
ton to buy the list of questions, and
finally five men accepted the offer
News of the transaction very soon
came to the ears of the student COM
mittee in charge of such violation. A
man was sent as a student to obtain a
copy of the questions for verification
This he did at a cost of $50, which he
paid with check on which payment
had been stopped.
The questions were verified by the
professor in charge of the course OF
study, and Thompson and Kinney were
promptly arrested. In default of $1,000
bail they are now in Trenton Jail await
ing trial on Il charge of larceny.
In accordance with one of the provis-
h.
of the students expelled will not be
made public. The honor system of
conducting examinations has been es-
t&bli3hcd in Princeton II years and
during that time the violations have
been few and far between. During eX-
aminations a student is placed entirely
on his own responsibility, no attempt
whatever being made to watch him. He
may leave at any time and for as long
a time as he chooses; he is only reouir-
ed to sign 4 statement on his eXamina-
ton paper that he pledges his honor as
= gentleman that during the eXamina-
ton he has neither given nor received
assistance.
Under the 'hOnor system it is I'M
derstOOd that violations of either of the
letter or spirit of the rules is included,
and that it covers any unfair means
whatsoever, such as procuring eXami-
nation papers before examination, etc.
The student committee in charge is
composed of the presidents OF the four
respective classes, with two others Sc
lected from the senior and junior class
es. The system was adopted as a stu
dent movement and is maintained en-
tirely as such. Any violation of the
system is felt by every man in the uni
vcrsity to be Il personal matter.

IMPRISONED BY ICE.
Terrier Was Caught in Frozen Crystal
While Pursuing Cat.

Glen Ridge, Ny, Feb. Much ex-
element was caused, Friday, when Il
valuable Ayrshire, terrier the property
of Thos. Mason, editor of Life, chased
a Maltese cat into a drain pipe used
TO carry of surface water at Ridge
wood and Woodland avenues. opposite
the Glen Ridge Club. The cat. which
was smaller than it's canine pursuer,
squeezed itself through the pipe. which
was partly filed with ice. The dog got
stuck.
Chief of Police Brown saw the entry
OF the cat and dog and the reappear-
ance of the cat only, and told the dogs
owner. Mr.. Mason called on his
neighbors and asked them for sugses-
tons how to get the dog out of its pre-
dicament and the pipe. In humorous
fashion he tried to coax the dog out,
as II the cat hadn't done coaYing
enough.
Then Mr.. Mason got to work, after
"jolying" the borough authorities into
allowing him to dig ups the pipe. He
hired a gang of men to dig the frozen
pipes out of the earth. and in the mean
tine sent to bloomfield for several bar
Z rels of wood. which were piled above
! the frozen pipe and set on fire in the
hope that a thaw would follow and give
I the terrier room to get out; but the
dog still stuck in the pipe.
s Finally the pipe was taken from the
earth and the dog was found wedgcd
in 1t.
The animal was uninjured. and when
released showed its gratitude by lick
ing the hands of its rescuers. Several
hundred persons witnessed thetrescue
and heartily cheered the workmen. who
labored several hours to accomplish it

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow Its
Excessive Use.

Common soda is all right in its place,
and Indispensable in the kitchen and fer
cooking and washing purposes, but it was
never intended for 4 medicine. and people
who use it as such will some day regret
it.
We refer to the common use of soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach. :,
habit which thousands of people practice
almost daily. and one which is fraught
with danger; moreover. the soda only
gives temporary relief and in The end the
stomach trouble gets worse and worse.
The soda acts as Il mechanical irritant
to the walls of the stomach and bowels,
and eases are on record where it accumu-
lated in the intestires, causing death by
inflammation or peritonitiS.
DIR. HarlanSon recommends as the safest
and surest cure for sour stomach (acid
dySpcpsia) an excellent preparation sold
by druggists under the name of Stuart
Dyspepsia Tablets. These tablets are
large twenty grain loZengers. very pleas
ant to taste and contain the natural
acids, pcptones. and digestive elements
taken after meals they digest the food
perfectly and promptly before it has time
to tcrmcnt, sour, and poison the blood and
nervous system.

uses Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets i'll ali
cases of stomach arrangements. and finds
them n certain cure, not only for sour
stomach. but. by promptly digesting III,
