PLANS FOR HOWARD.
New President Of University outlin-
ing Work Of the Year.

Howard University opened last Wednes-
day for it's fortieth session. having been
founded in 1867. The work begins under
the most hopeful auspices, and the outlook
for the future to the trustees, faculty and
friends of the institution seems most en-
couraging. The new president. Rev. Will
liam p Thirkield, DID,. LID, arrived In
the city some days ago and has been ac-
lively engaged with the committees of the
board and faculty In planning the work for
the new year. At recent meeting of the
executive committee he presented plans
for the work that received their approval.
The attendance promises to be very large.
The freshman class of the College OF Arts
and Sciences will equal or surpass in num-
bers that of any class in the history Of the
university. There is also large number
of applicants for admission In the Teach-
ers' College, and also in the several schools
of theology. medicine and law, which are
under the direction. respectively, of Dean
Clark, Dean Reyburn and Dean Leighton:
The first chapel service was held at IL
O. clock Wednesday. Dean Fairfield, who
has been at the head of the College of
Arts and Sciences for several years, and
served as acting president until September
1, presented DR.. Thirkield, the new presi-
dent, whose reception by the faculty and
students was most coHdial. All signs point
to a year Of harmonious and successful
work. The new president conducted the
devotional exercises and afterward gave
DrleI address,.
He said that no formal word would be
expected of him now, as he came as stu
dent of new conditions. He had no prophe-
cies to declare, no program to announce
nor promises to make. All are here, he
said for hard work. He said that later, at
his formal Inauguration, opportunity would
be given him for the presentation of his
educational ideals and plans. He paid
tribute to the faithful and efficient services
of Dean Fairfield. who had so conducted
the institution during the transition period
as to enable the new president to take up
the lines of work with little difficulty.
The president said he was impressed
with the history of the institution. begin
ming, as it did. with the spirit of consecra-
ton of the time and energies of noble
body of men, who founded it in prayer and
faith.
II am impressed" said he, with the To-
cation of this university in a city. The old
Romans sent their sons, after preliminary
work, to Rome. that there they might get
what they called the 'urbantas'-that Is,
the urbanities. the culture and refinement
of the city. We are located in the city OF
the nation, with an equipment in libraries,
museums and other appliances open to all
earnest students, which represent an in
yestment of many millions.

HEARING POSTPONED.
Point of Law Raised in Habeas Corpus
Case.

Hearing in connection with the habeas
corpus proceedings instituted in the case
of Mrs. Caroline Corbett and her daugh-
ter, Miss Corneia Corbett for the pur-
pose of obtaining their discharge from the
Government Hospital for the Insane has
been postponed by Chief Justice Clabaugh
OF the District Supreme Court to date
yet to be determined. When the matter
was brought before the court yesterday
a question of law arose concerning the
right of the defendants to a trial by jury
in the present status of the case. Counsel
for Mrs Corbett and her daughter claimed
that the evidence should be heard before
a jury. but the contention was combated
by Assistant United States Attorney Nc
Namara, who appeared for the government.
The chief justice announced that he would
hear argument on that point some day
next week and that the case would be
heard on its merits soon thereafter.
Considerable interest attaches to the case
as the circumstances are said to be rather
uncommon. Mrs. Corbett and her daugh-
ter. who came to this city few years ago
from Alexandria, Va, were committed to
the asylum in June, 1904, after being ad
judged to be suffering from persecutory de-
lusions. They had been attendants at the
services in the Church of the Covenant and
it was charged that they had acted in such
a strange manner that they attracted pub
lie attentinn.
A petition for writ of habeas corpus
= in the case was granted last summer by
Justice Gould. the rule being made return
able September ~ before the chief justice.
When the matter was called up yesterday
counsel for the mother and daughter asked
the court to proceed with the hearing at
once but Attorney Mcnamara moved to
postpone the hearing in order that Rev.
DR.. Teunis S. Hamin. pastor of the Church
of the Covenant, might be called wit
ness. Mr.. Mcnamara stated that DR.. Ham
lin was thoroughly familiar with the cir
cumstanccs surrounding the case and that
his testimony would be of material i'm
portance The attorney informed the court
that Mrs. Corbett and her daughter are
on parole at the asylum and are, therefore
allowed many privileges which patients in
the wards do not enjoy. He urged that
there was no immediate need of going into
the hearing.
Attorney Mcneil of counsel for the petit
TONERS, in asking for an Immediate hear
iEg, asserted that considerable trouble had
been experienced In securing the attend
ance this morning of a large number of wit
neSSes. After the matter had been further
discussed, however, the action stated was
taken. Attorneys \. A. Birney, Robert H.
Mcneil and Richard =. Evans appeared
| for the petitioners. \ number of medica |
experts and many ladies were in the court
room in expectation of being called as wit
| nesses. Mr.. Frederick A. Fenning COM
mittee for Mrs. Corbett and her daughter
attended the hearing.

tain funds alleged TO have been held on de-
post by the defendant should not be con-

Galloway and why a receiver receivers
should not be appointed to take charge of

baugh has passed a decree granting the

]. Lambert and Malcomb Hufty as such re-
ceivers. 1t was contended that shortly be-
fore her death Elizabeth NJ. Galloway sold
a piece of property for something over

scented by Attorneys Wilton j. Lambert and

TUNNELS AND BRIDGES
RAILWAY TERMINAL WORK IN
SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON.

Now that the work in the eastern section
of the city is approaching completion, the
railroad engineers are turning their atten-
ton to the section of the city between ith
street southwest and the railway bridges
over the river, and for several weeks past
large forces of men have been employed
in the preliminary work necessary before
the tunneling and bridging to be done could
be started.
In order to get the freight yards at 14th
street and Maryland avenue out of the way
a new and large yard has been established
on 18th street south of Maryland avenue,
and the old yard was abolished. At other
points in the territory mentioned number
OF changes have been made in the location
of the tracks, so that they would not inter-
fere with the work about beginning. Big
steam shovels have within the past day or
two been started at work making the exca-
Vations at the point on Maryland avenue
about 18th street, where the tunnel, Whlcn
is to pass under the streets to point about
Sth street. will go down under the ground
Within the next week the work on the
tunnel will be well under way. The dispo-
sition of the material eXcavated from the
tunnel was a problem, it is stated, for the
engineers. but this has been solved by send
ing it across the harbor at the foot OF
about 1872 street, and depositing 1t on
the Potomac Park to the east of the rail-
way embankment.
The hauling of the material from the
tunnel will be done by dinky engines haul
ing long trains of dump cars, but in order
to get the trains across the harbor it will
be necessary to tunnel under the tracks
at the foot of 18th street and build tent
porary bridge across the harbor. The work
on the dinky track tunnel has commenced,
and tomorrow, it is stated, the driving OF
the piles for the temporary bridge is to
commence No exact estimate can be OBJ
tanned as to how long it will take to COM
piete this work. but it will be about year.
