alton of the house committee to not

session Of congress. The oregonian
says the bar improvement will suffer,

sundry civil bill. OF the bar improve
ment the oregonian says: "The fund
for Columbia bar is represented to be
1.24S, 900, but really 1t is only 100000.
Out Of the larger sum must be deducted
s250.0O0 for the cost Of the dredge Chi
nook, and 100000 for other outstand-
ing liabilities. Operation of the dredge
costs about $4,000 month. The vessel
needs new boilers and several altera-
tions, but can probably be kept at
work this season as she is. New boil
crs will cost $4,000 or $4,000. She
might now be sent. to Mare island or

STUDENTS UPHOLD
HONOR SYSTEM
Princeton Men Buy Stolen
Examination Papers.
FOUR OF THEM FRESHMEN
Undergraduate Body Held Court and
Requested the Faculty to Dis
miss the Culprits.

PRINCETON. NJ J.. Feb. 5.-Five
students in Princeton University have
been expelled from college for breaking
the honor system in the examinations
which are now in progress.
Two men residing I'm town stole the
papers from the printing Office here. and,
after repeated efforts. induced the five
students. all but one of whom were
freshmen. to buy the questions.
Clue Found in Check.
The two thieves offered the papers
20 more than twelve students before
they sold them. and one of the men who
was thus approached informed the COM
ulittee in the honor system OF what was
being done. This committee. a student
body, comprises the presidents of the
four classes and one additional member
each from the senior and junior classes.
Investigating. the committee found a
check signed by one OF the freshmen
and Endorsed by one OF the thieves,
whose names were known. The Offend
ing students were summoned before the
committee and admitted their guilt. At
the request OF the committee the faculty
dismissed the culprits. The five men
VIII never be allowed TO return to the
university.
Support Honor System.
This prompt action on the part of the
students shows the hold that the honor
system has on Princeton. The students
themselves are to be credited wholly
with the success which the system has
here. In fact. the faculty knew nothing
OF the scandal until the committee s
recommendation for the dismissal of the
students reached it.

who are accused of stealing the papers
have been arrested and confined in the
Trenton Jail in default OF $1,000 bail.
Their case probably will be brought up
at the next sitting OF the grand jury.
