FRAUD USED IN GETTING REGENTS
 CERTIFICATES

Albany, N Y., May 1S.-What may prove to be a fiourishing traffic in Re gents certificates admitting the hold CTS to medical, dental and law schools throughout the State has been uncov- cred by the State Department of Edu- cation. That numbers of these certifi- cates have been sold, and are now held by students, whose papers in the Re gents examinations were written by other persons, has been brought out in a hearing before pr. O. s. Draper, Commissioner of Education, in the case of a student who has completed his second year in one of the New York Dental colleges. The Bar Associa- tion has been asked to cooperate with the State in hunting out these fraudu- lent certificates and tracing them % the persons responsible, and it is ex- pected that several arrests will soon be made.
 Investigations conducted during the last year reveal a clever system of inn personation operated by persons who advertise regents examinations made easy" According to the officials, ap- plicants were told that for a certain sum of money they could be assured of passing the examination at Grand Central Palace. The advertisers, talk ing advantage of the large number of persons examined, would then appear in the name of their client, receive the questions and make out the papers, hoping to escape detection.

BUSINESS MEN
 MEET THURSDAY

Wilson. president of the Beard of Aldermen and a member of the committee to revise the city building laws. will speak on "The New Building Code.''
 This subject is one that interests every business man in the city as well as every contractor and builder. In fact so many people are concerned in present or prospective housebuilding that the construction of the proposed building code may be said to affect everyone. It is understood most sweeping revision of the present build ing laws has been made and it is of distinct advantage to have it explain ed by a member of the committee
 Alderman A. V. Hartley will give an informal talk regarding the duties and efforts of an alderman. He will parti- cularly deal with the difficultiesS Ben countered in satisfying the public on all matters. MT. Hartley is chairman of the Streets and Sidewalks commit tee. the most important in the Com mon Council.

Big Timber Cut
 Reported in Maine

Bangor. Me, May 1S.-With the sea- son practically at an end, it is esti- mated that the timber cut in Maine this year amounted to seven hundred million feet. These figures show no appreciable gain or loss, the anticipat- ed heavy falling off from last seasons cut having been overcome by the late spring, which made it possible to con- tinue operations later than usual. Much of the lumber will be taken to the pulp mills.
 The log driving season is now on and thousands of men are gathered at the of the Penobscot and oth- CT rivers ready to start the logs down the waterways to the pulp and lum- Der mills A large quantity of tim Der cut last year and left in the woods on account of the inert market will be down.

The remaining two-thirds of the estate ie left in memoriam for the two deceased daughters of Mrs. Rogers to Fairfield county with the exception of the S2.CO0 annuity for Mrs. Perkins which comes out of it. The surviving daughter of the teStatriX as well as the husband of the deceased have been well pro- vided for and Mir Rogers wishes to have the public know that he dislikes the newspaper notoriety he has been getting of late but there appears to be no help for it.
