DISPUTE OVER
 MONEY; ASSAULT
Judge Was Counsel for Plaintiff and Couldn't
 Pass on Smarto Case Other City Court Business

This mornings session of the city court lasted but 20 minutes. The railroad detectives are still busy cap turing those patrons of the road who insist on riding and enjoying the open air on the freight cars Three cases were disposed of this morning, Judg- ment being suspended in each Ed win C.. Lewis, Charles Donovan, and Milton Shield are the joy riders taken this time.
 Warren Hunt and Alexander Gil- more, who broke into the foundry of Hunter & Ravens, Saturday night, and took two boxes of horseshoe nails, were sent to jail5 for 20 days. Hunt was fined S1 and costs and Gilmore $5 and costs. Gilmore has a bad record and his picture, was taken TOT the rogues' gallery.
 John Fitzgerald was charged with beng drunk, but he tried to convince Judge Wilder that he was merely in toxicated. The Judge could appreciate the subtle distinction and so John was fined $5 and costs.
 Tony Ellis had his case continued until tomorrow He is charged with having committed breach of the peace and assaulting John 'Smarto, the liquor dealer.F Judge Wilder did not wish to sit in this case as he has act ed as counsel for the plaintiff in an action brought some time ago. It is said that Ellis gathered the necessary Witnesses in this former action,- but, failed to receive his pay from Smarto. Last night he went to Smarto's place of business and tried to get his mon- ey as agreed, but a wordy discussion arose. during which Smarto claims that Ellis assaulted him.

GROWTH OF YALE NORMAL No Material Change in Results of En.
 trance Examinations This Year.

New Haven, July 15.-It is given out at Yale that there was a normal in crease of candidates who presented themselves for the entrance examina- tions this year. In both the aca- demic and scientific departments the authorities stoutly maintain that there was no intended raise in the requirements and that if there was any increased stiffness it was entire ly due to the individual professors and not to any general change of policy in either of the departments. Registrar A. K. Merritt of the academic depart ment makes this statement:
 '"The June papers are necessarily not so decisive as those made out in the fall. It is possible to say that there were about 300 men who pre- sented themselves last month for en- trance examinations for our depart ment, which means that there was an increase of 100 candidates over a year ago. That is to say 450 men took the final examinations, and there were just about the same number who tried the. examinations which are given as preliminaries.
 'Of the first class I should say that about 80 per cent. did well enough to warrant their having a good chance to enter college in the fall, and of the preliminary candidates there were from 70 to 75 per cent. who obtained certificates. In other words, the stan dard of the work handed in last month was just about on a par with that which came in a year ago."

TX" Thinks "FratS"
 A Necessary Evil
Editor of the Farmer:

Editor of the Farmer:
 Sir:-The question that has caused so much discussion in the past, and even now, is being tested in the courts of San Francisco, as to the use fitness or desirability of the Greek letter societies in the high schools of our country would seem to be- of easy solution, if the pupils interested would take up the matter. The main ob- jection to their existence seems to be that they lower the standing of scholars and create snobbishness." If the latter objection was as sensible as it's first, the Satifactory settlement of the contention might be a trif1e more difficult. But there is a serious doubt that with the elimination of Greek fraterntes tom the schools, snobbery with all it's characteristics the societies are a drawback to class standing, and that the stand of the average fraternity man in his class is poor, this objection could be easily ov- ercome, if the fellows themselves, who believe in the various frats. would unite to wipe out the stain. No order of a School Board, or vote of Legis- 1ature could accomplish so effectua1ly the beneficial results to students and school, as mutual understanding be- tween members of each society, that, only men who had honorary or pass ing stand, was desirab bIe or eligible, and that it was necessary for that stand to be maintained for them to
 become duly qualified members If
 frats." are now an evil, they are a necessary evil, but if the boys are in real earnest, and will work to es- ,tablish them on a truer basis they tWiH+ +ehEing creditable results on the frGpufation of their Alma Mater" and their rfraternities and may soon be looked upon as a necessary adjunct to a successful school.
