ter a half hours attention 20 the menu,
Judge George Gray assumed his office
as toastmaster and introduced She
speakers. Mr.. Thompson'e address was
thoroughly princotonian, triumphant In
the growth and the intellectually OF
the university. He said In part:
"The fact that Princeton, with the
ons exception of Johns Hopkins Uni
versitv. leads all other American uni
versities In the large proportion Of
teachers TO pupils. indicates that we
are not overlooking the intellectual
development of the university.
THAT the increase In the number Of
undergraduates is not greater is not a
disappointment to fhe authorities.
When YOU are striving after quality,
quantity temporarily suffers. A Prince
bon degree to-day means so much work
that. of necessity. Il has been a matter
Of some few years for The students to
adjust themselves tothe new conditions
However. even In this, all signs point
in the next two years to a large in
crease in our Undergraduate depart
ment made up Of men who have ad-
iusted themselves TO the new condi-
tions."

ULRICA IN COLLISION
WITH THIRD ST. BRIDGE

While proceeding up the Christiana
river last evening the steamer Ulrica
Of the New Jersey and Wilmington
Ferry Company collided with the
bridge over the river at the foot OF
Third street and the bow Of the steam
er was partly crushed in. the flag stafc
broken and the guard rails slightly
damaged.
The accident was due TO the failure
Of the draw machinery of the bridge
TO work properly. The captain Of the
Ulrica signaled for an open bridge and
proceeded toward the structure. When
he found that IL was not working pro-
perly he reversed his engine but the
boat had such a headway that it was
impossible to check it in time to avert
a collision.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 1G.--Irhe trial
by court-martial of Lieut.. Gen.
Stoessel for having surrendered Port
Arthur is nearing its end and a
verdict is expected early next week.
One of the most damaging points
against Gen. Stoessel lis that there
was a considerable amount of shells
on hand when the fortress surren-
dered. The general contends that
he was kept in the dark regarding
the existence of this ammunition by
Gen. Bey, chief of the artillery,
who had passion for boarding
shot and shell
Several witnesses have testified
to the impossibility of getting
from the magazines sufficient num-
Der of shells to make the artillery
effective. They said dt was their Gus
tom to send gunners every night to
other batteries to steal ammunition
to keep their own guns going.

NO BODY

Company Exhonorated From
Blame for the Great
Mine Disaster.

Fairmont, w. Va, Jan. 1G.---Late
Wednesday afternoon the coroner's
jury returned a verdict in connec-
ton with the investigation of the
Monongah disater. 1t finds that the
explosion was due either to a blown
out shot, or to ignition of powder
which in turn, ignited the gas in
the mine. 1t finds that there were
braces of gas in the mixes No. 6
and No. 8. but not in dangerous
quantities, that the company COM
piled with all the state regulations,
and took all reasonable precautions
such as sprinKling for the keeping
down of the coal dust and practi-
caliy exonerates the Fairmont Coal
company from responsibility for tn
loss of life.
The jury urges that six additional
state inspectors be appointed for IN
more thorough inspection of the
mines in the state.
The jury ALSO recommends thai
as there are so many unsolved prob
lens connected with coal mine
explosions in the United States.
that congress make an appropria-
ton for the establishment of bur
eau of investigation, and informa-
tion to aid in the study of the
various conditions under which ex-
plosions occur, and as to how they
may be prevented.

NO TRIAL

Man Hanged in Panama
Canal Zone Without
Formality.

Washington, Jan. 16.-That good
old question whether the constitution
follows the flag is once more with
us, this time in this shape: Can a
man be hanged by the neck until he
lis dead, within the Jurisdiction OF
the United States. without having a
jury trial
The case is on the way to the su-
preme court from the Panama canal
zone and Senator Blackburn, head of
the evil government of the zone, has
,confideds to congressional committees
that his government is worried a bit
over 1t.
The condemned man Is jamaican
who committed murder in the zone.
They have no juries there. His law
years, after he was sentenced to
death, asked for writ of error and
got 1t. They found no fault with
the proceedings except that there was
not a jury trial.

pend paying their despositors' checks
in money because the Wall street
banks refused to cash New York
drafts.
This provision of Senator Culber-
sons bill which requires the banks
in thousands of small towns to keep
their money at home, out of the
hands of the Wall street gamblers,
would prevent or lessen such a dis
aster to local trade and industry as
resulted from the October collapse.
TO meet the annual fall demand for
money to move the crops Senator Gull
berson proposes in second bill to
use the Government deposits, over
5000, 100000 of which are now in ma
tional banks paying no interest. In
April, May, June and July these de-
posts would be charged 6 per cent.
interest and depository banks would
usually return the; money to the
treasury. In August, September, Oc-
tober and November the interest
would be reduced to per cent, and
banks which desired money for nov
ing crops would again apply for de-
potts. During December, January,
February and March the rate would
be 4 per cent. This would give an
elastic currency about equal for the
present to that proposed by Senator
Aldrlch
Under Mr.. Aldrich's scheme the
elasticity would benefit the Wall
street gamblers. Under Mr.. Culber-
sons the benefit would go to agricul-
tural and manufacturing sections.
How devoid Mr.. Aldrich's bill Is
OF benefit to legitimate industry the

with the usdry laws of the States

AN EARLY
TERMINATION
May be Made of the Big Fine
Case Against the
Standard.

Chicago, Jan. t6.-'No contrary mo-
tions will be filed in the petition for
the certification OF certain questions
TO the supreme court OF the United
States which attorneys for the STAN
dard Oil Co. recently sent into the
United States circuit court OF appeals.
This announcement was made to
the latter tribunal late yesterday af-
ternoon by Edwin w. Sims, United
States district attorney, who has just
returned from conference with
Attorney General Bonaparte in Wash
ington.
This means that a final decision In
the appeal from the 29,24O, 900 fine
probably will be hastened. Attorneys
for the Standard OIL Co. ask that
their contention that the Elkins law
was repealed by the passage of the
Hepburn act, be certified to the su-
preme court at once.

What Others Say.

A GOOD BILL AND A BAD BILL.
The currency and banking bills of
Senator Culberson and Senator Aid
rich represent divergent schools of
economics, policy and thought. The
Culberson bills are very good and
the Aldrich bill is bad.
The Aldrich bill will work mainly
to the benefit of Wall street gamblers.
1t proposes that national banks may
deposit certain securities with the
Treasury and issue in bank notes rs
per cent. of the market value OF the
collateral, in total amount up to
$3.50, 100000, on payment of a month
ly tax of one-half of / per cent.
No commercial bank which dis
counts the notes of merchants and
manufacturers. and whose collateral
lis bills OF lading of goods in transit
and storage receipts for cotton, wheat,
butter and other commodities, can
avail itself of this provision. Only
Wall street call loans will be fur
|thered.
Under this plan, Edward Fl. Harri-
man, who tried to unload Chicago and
Alton bonds on the savings banks
Iof this State, could find a depository
for them in the Treasury. Wafl
street promoters need only prirt-
bonds lobby at Albany to get them oh
hhes list OF securities permitted to
savings banks make "market price"
by wash sales, secure permission to
deposit them in Washington and is
sue In money" rs per cent. of their
,artihdal value. What a relief to
gamblers who have paid as high as
200 per cent. interest to issue their
own money for one-half of per cent.
Ia month!
Senator Culberson proposes exactly
what The World on Tuesday recon-
|mended: that banks shall keep their
legal reserves In their own vaults and
shall not call Wall street credit
Icash. The 5000 small national banks
Imay now deposit three-fifths OF their
..cash reserve In Wall street banks.
