ATTACKS SOCIETY SYSTEM
AT YALE UNIVERSITY
Director of Sheffield Scientific School
Asserts That Present Conditions
Are DemoraIIzing

NEW HAVEN, Conn, July 2.-In his
annual report, Russell H. Chittenden,
director of the Sheffield scientific school
of Yale University, condemns the So
ciety system of the school, where there
are six societies owning their dormi-
tories, representing property of very
high value. The fact that the school
has now begun to build its own dormi-
tories has brought the question into
prominence.
The director says that the interests
of the societies and scholarship in the
school are antagonistic to each other,
as is proved by the fact that many
more conditions in scholarship in pro-
portion to numbers have been incurred
by society men than by students out
side of the societies.
1t is also proved, he says, by the fact
that many men entering the freshman
class belonging to the societies are
dropped at the end of the first term or
later in the year, Notwithstanding that
they enter the school with good records
in scholarship. Such conditions, he
says, are demoralizing.
In conclusion he asserts that unless a
speedy solution of this problem is
reached by the parties more directly in
terested the governing board of the
scientific school will be compelled to eX-
ercise it's power with a view to remedy
ing the evils which at present unques-
tionably exist.
The final report of Henry PeFWright,
dean of the Yale academic department,
closing his twenty-five years in office,
has been completed. The increase in
dormitory accommodations upon the old
campus, he says, has a tendency to
break up the private dormitory system,
with it's social and scholastic evils. The
greatest need of the college now, the
report states, is another large dorml-

Water Company Sued

RIVERSIDE, July 2.-Three settlers
owning land outside the 40,000-acre
tract owned by the Palo Verde Land
and Water company have brought suits
against the company and against the
Palo Verde Mutual Water company as
co-defendant, asking that a writ of
mandamus be issued by the superior
court directing the companies to de-
liver water at a rate prevailing before
the formation of the mutual company.
The complaint alleges that until a
comparatively recent period water was
delivered to the lands of the settlers
for the sum of $3.50 an acre. This
water was to be supplied on condition
that the land owners would construct
bitches for the purpose of carrying
water to their lands from the main
canal. According to the complaint,
these bitches were dug at an expense
of $1,000 but since January 6, 1909, how
ever the defendant companies have
refused to deliver water, although the
money was rendered to pay for it.
Judge Densmore issued writ of
mandate directing the companies to de-
liver the water as prayed for, or show
cause in the superior court July 10.

DEMANDS LEG OF MAN
ACCUSED OF SPEED ING
Constable Appears in Court to Attach
Artificial Limb of
Chauffeur

PASADENA, June 2.-Coming into
police court this morning in answer to
a charge of speeding, Alpha E. Lifts,
chauffeur, almost lost his leg. That
he did not is only due to his firm re-
fusal to part with it despite deter
mination on the. part of the man VINO
wanted the leg to get it even by force
The leg is an artificial one, and the
man who wanted 1t was Deputy Con-
stable George Thornburg of Los An
geles, who had an assortment of pa
pers mentioning and asserting his claim
on the cork support. Lifts assured the
constable that the leg he was using
was his own leg and that the one des-
ignated in the papers was his thlrd
leg, which was at home resting.
It was claimed by the constable that
there is an unsatisfied claim of SIPS on
the extra leg at Mr.. Lifts home. The
speeding case was brought by PATROL
man Nicolls, who alleges Lifts crossed
Colorado street at a rate OF forty
miles an hour. Lifts admits fifteen
miles, but claimed he was taking a
woman who was suffering from heat
prostration to her home and was hur-
rying in order that she might receive
attention. Judge Mcdonald continued
sentence until tomorrow in order that
Lifts might produce his witnesses.
