Alleged to Be Old Charge.

1t was further said that some of the
allegations made against Mr.. Tanner and
which had an important bearing upon his
suspension referred to happenings in the
bindery last year. before Mr.. Stillings be-
came public printer. One of these was said
to be the wearing by Tanner of rubber
fingertip when he pasting books. 1t
was necessary for him to dip one of his
fingers in the paste with the handling of
each book he was binding. Alum Is used
in the paste as preservative To prevent
it from souring. The alum Is said to have
made Tanners finger tip very sore. and
lie resorted to the India rubber tip to pro-
tect his finger from further injury. 1t
was claimed by Acting Foreman Ashton.
it is said, that a man wearing f1nger-tfp
could not do much work a. one who en-
ployed the naked finger. and the book
binders say the use of the tip was made
the basis of a charge against him.
At the meeting of the arbitration board
of the BookbinderS' Union yesterday at
ternoon 1t developed it is said. that the
union can furnish at least one hundred
witnesses, all employees of the government
bindery. to disprove the charges that Alvin
]. Tanner shirked his duties as binder and
in any sense a loafer or trouble-brew-
in the office.
Mr.. Stillings' Position.
Mr. Stillings stated today that the law
makes him the custodian of a bureau and
responsible for the disbursement of con-
siderable sum of money, he proposes to do
his duty he sees it,
There can be no arbitration of difficult
ties. naturally: but if those to whom l am
responsible deem Ii necessary to appoint
commission charged with the respensi-
blity of my office, there will be every ia
cilty afforded for a complete inquiry l
do not fear the result No head of a bu-
reau can be expected to change his judg-
ment at the dictation of a subordinate Of
what Is right in any contingency upon
any matter which affects the public inter-
est. If he did once there would be no dis
cipline | am endeavoring to do my duty.
and all proper measures for enforcement of
discipline and to further the public business
in my bureau shall receive my indorse-
ment."
Speaking, of the larger number of sus-
pension Mr.. Stillngs stated: 1T would be
an injustice to the sober. Woodworking men
if the inefficient. disoyal and drunken EN-
poyes were continued in the office. If en-
ployes permitted to spend their time
drinking and carousing. that they may
be able to do but four hours work day
they should either be discharged or the
standard of days work be reduced to four
hours, so that the steady employees would
be given the benefit of fewer working
hours.

COLBY COLLEGE.
FIRST Debate Decides That Colby Should
Remain Oenominational.

The hrst college debate of the wear was
held at the chapel Wednesday evening
AT I'D. There were a good number Of
the students present to listen to the de-
bate. The Speakers did eXcellen: work
especially considering it was the first de-
bate that has been held so far The
speakers were: Affirmative. NJ. c. Moore
'c7 and Monroe Young '09. negative, b.
+. Jones '07 and Fl. Il. Petts 'O7. The
question under discussion was: "Resoly-
ed: That Colby Should Be an Undenomi-
national College" Before the debate
was opened the Girls Mandolin Club rer-
dercd selection. President Emery then
started this debate by calling upon Nj. c.
Moore.
Mr. Moore claimed that the college
was founded when ideas We're different
than they are now and that accordingly
there should be some change made to
meet changed conditions
Belts opened the question for tie mega
tive. He said that to make Colby unde-
nominational would be unfair to the Rap-
fist Society who founded and had since
contributed much to the support Of the
college.

she should be let us keep her denomna-
tiOnal: if she is not where she ought to
be let there be 4 change that will make
her undenominat!onal.
Mr.. Jones closed the main debate His
argument was that the effect change
would have would not benefit the trus-
tees. the faculty or the college. He
claimed that UNCONVENTIONAL colleges re-
ceived more gifts that undenomrational
colleges and cited considerable proof Of
this. The rebuttal was very sharp and
at times it seemed that there was to be
some personal feeling.
Dr. Marquardt. DR.. Black and II. c.
Libby acted as judges. While they were
out the president of the society an
nourced that the next debate would he
between the Freshman and Sophomor,
classes. DR.. Marquardt acted as chair
man for the judges and in few we'll
chosen words announced the decision of
the judges, which was that the negative
had won.

IMPORTANT CLEWS
Appear in Recent Robbery at the TiIden
Residence.

Important developments in the Tllden
robbery case appeared yesterday. Sever
nj clues were investigated by the au-
thorities and found to be groundless.
Mr. McRain. whose house is opposite
the Tilden home and nearer the hill
states that both he and his wife saw a
stranger PASS along Pleasant street turn
the corner ut Page street and enter the
Tilden grounds. passing round the corner
to the west side. where the rear door is
located. They place the time at 40 Saw
nothing In his appearance or actions to
arouse suspicion but THOUGHT he might be
hobo" 1t appears that Mr. T:lden left
the house at about 80 but as Mr. and
Mrs. McBain did not realize this. they
supposed the stranger to be q carpenter
riechanic or telephone man. They did
not soc the man leave the house He
walked along the street in a very bust
ness like way and did not falter or survey
his surroundings before entering tn,
grounds
Other persons on Pleasant street saw
the tramp pass. None saw him leave the
Tilden house. Wednesday tracks were
he left in that direction. His early ar
rival and late departure undetocted con-
stitute one of the remarkably bold fea-
lures Of the case. The man seen by Mr..
and Mrs. McBain is described as being
Young, probably not over 20 years old
: feet s inches in height. slim. smooth
face. slouch hat, blue coat and corduroy
