CAMPUS BLOCKED BY BABIES
 AND THEIR NURSES
Brown University President Issues a
 Pronuneianento on It.

Providence, April I5.-How to break through a barricade of baby carriages, and how to evade small boys on bi- cycles. are two of the problems which are perplexing President William H. F. Faunce and the members of the faculty of Brown university.
 The campus has become so popular an outing place for Providence chil- dren and their nurses that President Faunce has felt obliged to call pub lie attention to the matter In a statement issued by him the situation is thus set forth:
 The authorities at Brown univer- sity have been perplexed about the sit nation created by the presence of lit- tie children and their nurses of the Brown campus. Several times recent ly the approach to the John Carter Brown library has been barricaded by a line of baby carriages which only the boldest man would attempt to break through. As the students go to recitations, they are compelled to avoid small boys on bicycles. who mo- nopolize the path. If the students play ball there is is imminent danger of striking the heads of inquisitive youngsters"
 Dr. Faunce thinks that more play grounds would furnish solution of the problem.

THE VOLUNTEER RETIRED LIST,
 NEW PENSION BILL REPORTED.
An Amendment Added in Behalf of
 Enlisted Men.
Special to The BuHetln-) )


 Washington, April 15.@The house committee on military affairs has re- ported favorably the bill introduced by Representative Townsend ito create in 1he war department and the navy de- pa-rment, respectively a roll designaf ed at the civil war volunteer retired list to authorize placing thereon with retired pay certain surviving officers rine corps of the United States in the Civil war
 The bFTI as amended by the commit tse provides for each surviving officer or the Civil war who served two years or more, at the rate of One-third pay, according to his former highest rank In the service, and those who served lass than two years but more than six months are to receive similar amounts fn proportion to their length of ser vice The lowest amount to be re- ceiyed- however, is fixed at s600 a year. No pension can be drawn after the act goes into effect, and the pay re tired officer is all that can be secured from the government.
 The committee has also added an snendment in behalf of enlisted men. which is as follows: That any person who served as an enlisted man ninety Gzys or more in the military naval service of the United States during the Civil war. and who has been honorably discharged therefron and whose phy- eiczl or mental condition is of such degree of disability to require the frequent aid and attention of another person shall. upon application, have his name placed on the volunteer re- tired list created by this act, and shall receive in lieu of all pensions. retired pay a. the rate Of s3e per month during 4he period of his natural life"
 The committee estimates that it will cost the government annually the sum of s6-7oz.6S7 10 pay the officers under the provisions of this bill, or aver age of S645 for each officer. It is es- timzted that something like 12,00O pri- yates would be benefited by the section relating to enlisted men, but most of riiese are now receiving SIS per month and the net increase would only amount fo about s15 per month This would cos1 the government for the first year s7-1s0. coo, making the total of the en- tire bill for officers and enlisted men 3S.264- -01z- These estimates may, how ever. be entirely wrong and many be- Eere the government win have to pay @ great deal more money than this, should the bill ever become a law.
 Just how many would be benefited ky this bill in Connecticut cannot be estimated The officers of the state have an organization that has been urzinr a bill of this sort for two years and the enlisted men have also made appeals for their share Whether the SiIl will go through at this time is rather doubtful

 Will Now Be Pushed.

Now that a big derrick strong enough to lift tons has been erected on the site of the new Chelsea bank building, the work of placing the big pieces of stone can be carried on, and several were put into position on Friday on the front of the building. There is a boatfoad of stone on the way here, and as soon as that arrives the building will be seen to grow fast. Along the Main street side all the course of stone on the street level has been in position for some time, and everything is ready to go right on with the first story.
 There are to be some particularly big pieces of granite to 20 into tho con- struction, the heaviest Of which will weigh about six tons The corner pieces placed at the front on Friday weigh between two and thre tons. A cubic foot of the granite in use for the building wights about 165 pounds, so that 1t is easy to estimate about what one of the big pieces of stone will weigh. At that rates a piece of stone five feet by three would weigh nearly three tons and a half.
