sELF-COvERNMENT ATSTaNFORD.
University DOrmitOry Conducted In Ciuo
Fashion by Students.

P.Lo ALTO, Cal, Nov. 2i.-Early in the
preeent academic year a new scheme LOT
the administration of Encina Hall, the big
Stanford dormitory, was put into operation
The new plan of student government mas
made good and is expected TO prove a
thoroughly satisfactory settiemeht OF a
problem that for several years has vexed
university authorities.
The government of the dormitory Ire
at Encina il now in the hands of the students
who live in the hall. In a word, the Enema
Hall men, organized as the Encina Club,
govern the building as though II were their
own clubhouse. In the first week or W
of the term there were several stormy meet
ings. as the result OF which, largely due
20 Prof. A. H. SuzzaIlo OF the Stanford
faculty, himself an ex-Encina map' q
definite scheme was formulated. y
The details of the organization are rs fol-
lows: The residents OF the hail constitute
the membership Of the Encina Club and
the dormitory is their clubhouse. There
Is a house committee, composed OF the clup
president, ex oficio chairman of the govern
ing committee, and three members from
each of the two upper classes. The mem
hers OF the committee are elected by the
~aophomore, unior and seniors in Encina,
freshmen having no vote.
Before the organization could be effected
e was necessary 20 secure the sanction Of
the student affairs committee of the Uni
versity. This was readily obtained, and
for six weeks the new scheme has been in
operation. There are no written rules, the
entire regulation OF the hall beiRg under
the honor system. In case the unwritten
sode il violated the offender is quietly
notified by a member of the governing
committee that he must mend his ways.
The warning, representing a strong COM
mon feeling, is expected to be sufficient,
but power Of expulsion from the club rests
with the COMMITTEES as a final resource.
Faculty and students unite in praising
the operation of Stanford's application OF
the shonor system idea in student govern
ment. 1t bids fair TO b. a complete success.

INVESTIGATING THE
RARITAN BAY FISHING
Salt Water Fishing Investigation
Commission Looking Into
Local Conditions.

Seine fishing in Raritan bay is re-
ceiving the attention of the Salt Wa
ter Investigation Commission lust
now. The nets used in this business
are about $500 feet long, and are
weighted at the bottom with hun
dreds of pounds of lead, so that when
the net is swept in a huge circle.
the net draws along the bottom of the
bay and drags every thing to the
shore that lies in its path. King
fish, weakfish and bluefish OF not
more than two inches in length are
thus thrown up on the beach or else
trampled upon by the dozen or more
helpers who shovel the fish into the
dagons. At Trenton, yesterday, a
number of former employees of the
net owners, admitted that they never
stopped to return the unmar-
ketable fish to the water. The sec.
rifice and slaughter is terrible, es-
pecially when the nets are drawn
twice day, on the tip of each tide
Two hundred miniature food fish de-
stroyed by each net twice day, with
two nets working for three months
in the year, means the actual destroy.
ing of 1000 fish, or just the number
consumed by the population of New
ark in seven weeks. 1t is doubtful if
the commissioners Will even hesi-
tate to recommend law to the next
legislature to put those nets out of
business.

City Officials Helped Officers of
Citizens Electric Company
to Observe Opening.
EVERYTHING is SATISFACTORY.
But One Store, That of Louis BRIGGS,
Lighted by New Concerns Current
Last Night but the Others Are Be-
ing Connected Up as Rapidly as
PossibIe-Supper and Refresh
ments Served - Much Interest.

Over two hundred people visited
the power house of the Citizens
Electric Light, Heat and Power Com
pany last night and inspected the
plant in full operation.
Invitations had been sent out n
few days ago, and shortly after Z
O'Clock the Invited guests began to
arrive. Engineer Albert Buys was
in charge Of the test, and courteously
explained the intricacies of the plant
to all the spectators present.
When the guests arrived the ma
chinery was In fun operation, and
many expressed their admiration for
the Diesel engine, which ran without
a hitch the entire evening. Mayor
pfeiffer and e number of other city
officials were present, and spoke well
for the plant, when questioned on
the subject. No speeches were made,
although the directors were talking G
to the guests at intervals. Aftei
the power house had been generally
gone over, Proprietor Floersch Of The
Packer House served cigars, sand
wiches and liquid refreshments.
With one exception the opening was
success, and the Citizens company
is now ready to supply light to their
subscribers. AS the power house is
situated at Pearl place and Mechanic
street, near the Lehigh Valley coal
bins, the ground was in a somewhat
muddy condition, and to reach the
plant, it was necessary to wade
through the mire. The shoes of ev-
eryone were covered with mud, when
they reached the power house, but
nevertheless, the guests were in the
best of humor, and took the matter
as joke. One of the stockholders
lost his shoe, and searched nearly ten
minutes before it was recovered.
Louis Briggs store, at Smith and
King streets, was the only place
lighted by the new company last
night, but in few days the other
places will be ready for the service.
After 8 o'clock last night, which
marked the dose of the inspection,
the crowd dispersed. The plant was
kept in operation all night and will
be tonight.
