SENIORS REJECT
 HONOR SYSTEM
(contlnued from First Page,)

(Contlnued from First Page)
  senior class last night decided not to adopt It.
 Seniors last night said that the system had been a failure at Prince ton, one of the first universities to adopt it, and in nearly every other college, with the possible exception of the University of Virginia, There were very few in favor of having it at Y ale under the existing conditions and the vote in the meeting was unanimous, The following resolutions were adopted:
 We, the class of 1908, resolve
 First, That we place ourselves on record as standing for absolute honesty land gentlemanly conduct in class room, and In examinations We believe that a simple honor system based on the individual is ideal but impractica- ble, because of the size of the class, and the lack of any provision dealing with any offense which might arise. dertake the responsibility of detecting, reporting or punishing dishonesty which may occur. because we believe that the student body, with no experi- ence in such matters, is unable to per- form such duty to the best interests of the university,
 Third That we believe that such su- pervision as is necessary to prevent dis honesty can be more conveniently and thoroughly performed by the faculty than by the student body or a stu dent committee. inasmuch as 1t is to be suI-Sosed that the time of the students in the recltations and examinations is entirely occupied in doing this work,
 A class ivy committee was elected at last nights meeting, Lester Per rin of this city, son of Prof Berna- dotte Perrin, was chosen chairman, and the other two members are r. G. Marsh of Winsted and J. c, Black of Seattle.

OIL TRUST SECRETS Inside Workings of the Com bine Laid Bare at Hearl~g
 of Federal Suit.
TABS KEPT ON RIVALS
Compilations Made of the Business of Standard
 and Other Companies.

New York, Oct 14-Hampton G. Westcott, vice president of the Standard OIl company of Kentucky, testified to- day in the hearing of the federal suit against the oil combine. that Tn several of the southern states the Standard had found 1t expedient to sell much ot its products through companies which the public believed to be independent. The practice of selling through putative companies, which were owned by tn combine, was discontinued two years ago. according to MT. Westcott. Mir Kellogg, counsel for the government drew from the witness that the Stand ard Oil company of Kentucky, which acts as selling agent of oil in Ken lucky, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee and Alabama, had purchased numerous small independent selling companies and through many of them sold oil to the consumer. Some of the plants of these independents were dis mantled and the business taken over by the Standard.
 MT. Westcott threw a sidelight on a business department of the Standard concerning which the federal counsel has been seeking information since the beginning of the inquiry. He testified that each month the main office of the Standard Oil Co. of Kentucky, at Covington. sent to him not only the reports of the business operations of the Standard but statements concern ing freight shipments and sale of oil by all competitors. These statements, according to MT Westcott gave the name of the consignor, the consignee, the amountof oil shipped and other in formation that might be available Mir. Westcott said that after examining these statements he filed them with the statistical department in the Standard g office In this city. This statistical de- partment, said MT. Westeott. was in charge of w. E. Bemis, who kept com pilations and records of the business of
 MT. Kellogg stated tonight that he expected to call William G. Rockefeller, assistant treasurer of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, to the stand when the hearing is resumed to-mor- row.

Monday morning one of the steel cars carrlying five tons of crushed stone got away from the man lowering 1t, at the Shelton Trap Rock Co.,, from the crush CT to the dump just of. the highway, and crashed through the heavy bulk head and falling over on the street, instantly killed one horse and badly in 1ured another. The horses were valu- able draught horses and one of the best pair owned by the B. N. Beard Go. E. M. Brinley, the driver, had driven the team up to the dump for the pur- pose of securing load of the crushed stone and feeling that there was some thing wrong, he jumped from the team just in time to save his life.
 The ears are lowered by means of a wire cable wound around a drum in the engine house and the cable is very easily controlled by man who can lower it as fast or as slow as he pleas es by means of levers. The cause of the accident eens to have been the loss of nerve by the employe charged with the lowering of the car He was a new man, having started to work Saturday, and he said he could not see the markings on the cable, which plainly shows how far the car has travelled and did not know how far the car had gone.
 When the car broke through the massive bulkhead it shot straight out and struck the rightslde horse of the pair directly in tho middle of the back, killing 1t instantly. swervlng to the left the car struck the other horse, in flicting terrible wounds on the animals head and shoulders, The car then went some distance and landed right side up, practically uninjured.

The regular meeting of the business men was held in the board of trade rooms on Main street last evening. The regular routine business was finished before adjourning. The only special matter which came before the meeting and one which occupied the most of the time was the matter about the new timetable that has gone into effect on the railroad recently. The point under discussion was the fact that the latest mail out nights now is 6;20 p. m where formerly 1t was 7:10 D. m. The busi- ness men contend that 6:20 Is rather an early hour for the last mail and af- ter a lengthy discussion a committee was appointed to confer with the post master to see If later mall cannot be had for this city.

The Necessity Of Saving.

Rich men declare that the
hardest part of a fortune to ac-
cumulate is the first $1,000. AT
ter that sum has been laid aside
it is comparatively easy to in
crease it. If this statement be
true, nothing more strongly EN-
phasizes thd advisability of saw
ing by young people. The habit
of saving formed in youth may
make many men wealthy who
otherwise will never lie we'll off
in this worlds goods. Saving
does not at all mean that one
must be close or stingy. On the
other hand it is one way of max
ing it possible for one to be ex-
tremely generous.
Saving is not hard thing to
do after once learned. We have
known men who formed the
habit of putting aside every ten
cent piece that came to them in
change or otherwise. Few peo-
pie have any idea how quickly
dimes run into dollars and how
little they are missed. 1t takes
some determination to stick to
the rule at first.
But there are many ways to
accumulate small savings with
out missing the money. Parents
should teach their children to
save, not merely for the sake of
a few dollars they may accumu-
late at first but for the sake of the
training itself. Good business
men have been savers in youth.
