PROF. PECK TALKS OF ROW
Says Court Will Define Rights of
Columbia Trustees.

Professor Harry Thurston Peck said yes
terday that the row over his refusal to re-
sign Will have the same effect on Column
bia as a thunderstorm has on a hot day.
Are we to allow a man to work for the
downfall of the university or are we to
raise a row and force him out? If we
can get Butler in the witness box we Will
make him admit that he has deceived both
the faculties and the trustees he said.
Professor Peck made this announcement
when he told of receiving a letter from
the education committee Of the trustees
containing a resolution passed on June q
setting forth that unless Professor Peck
should resign before June 80 he should be
suspended from the performance of all
academic duties on and after July 1, 1910.
until the pleasure Of the trustees in his
case can be ascertained.
"Pickwickian," was Professor Peck S
comment on the resolution Il have no
academic duties during vacation, and 1 am
still Anthem professor 1 was appointed by
the trustees, and I will have the courts
define what is meant by their pleasure
The Rev. DR.. Edward B. Coe, chairman
of the education committee, said last night
that eminent lawyers on the committee
had declared the committee was with
in its rights in asking for Professor Peck S
resignation, and, on his failure to resign,
in suspending him ''Of course, he Is ar
liberty to appeal to the trustees added
DR. Coe, but we have nothing to with any
difficulty which the professor may have
with the president"

GOT THE BOYS, BUT NO PIE
Arrests on River Quickly Follow
Theft in Bakery.

Timothy O'Brien, a patrolnan attached
TO the West E5th street station, distin-
guished himself yesterday by a bit of de-
tective work. and was complimented later
In the Harlem Court when he arraigned
four prisoners on a charge of breaking into
Otto Stillgebauer's bakery, No. 1871 Broad
way, and stealing several pies.
0Brien was on post near the bakery
when the burglary was reported to him by
deliveries and found the transom over a
rear door broken open. Several pies We're
missing, so the patrolnlan decided the rob-
bers were boys.
Riverside Park suggested itself to him as
a convenient place for picnic, and thither
had hired boat a short time before, and
from the riverfront he saw the boat over
near the Jersey shore.
The patrolman pressed a launch into SER
vice and went for the boys, who We're not
inclined TO surrender until they caught the
CLINT Of steel in the sun.
There was no sign OF pie in the boat, but
the baker identified several pieces of silver
as part of his property which had disap-
peared with the pies.
Two Of the boys were later discharged
but Magistrate Steinert held the others in
s2.el0 bail for trial. They said that they
were John Wilson, of Stamford, Conn., and
Charles Hanlon, Of Third avenue and 18th
street.

CONSOLIDATION APPROVED
P. S. Board in Wayne County
Case Gives General Rules.

Albany. July 3.-The Public Service COM
mission, ID District, has approved of a
plan for the consolidation of five corpora
tions furnishing gas and electricity in
Wayne County. providing the conditions
imposed by the commission are accepted
by the companies seeking to be consoli-
dated The companies are the Palmyra
Gas and Electric Company. the Newark
Gas Light and Fuel Company, the New
Light, Heat and Power Company, the
Lyons Gas Light Company and the Wayne
County Gas and Electric Company
The new company will be authorized TO
issue $4,000 in stock in exchange for s245.-
O0O present aggregate stock of existing
companies. and to issue bonds to refund at
rar S2O6,OGO now outstanding of existing
companies, and to issue other bonds at so
per cent of par value to discharge obliga-
tions amounting to $4,000, and still other
bonds at the same rate for proposed i'm
provements, s131, 800. giving a total capital
ization Of 1914, 800. The commission requires
present bonds to the amount Of $4,000 used
as security for obligations to be cancelled +;
s13,O54 g. of obligations to be cancelled: $56,-
700 60 net surplus to be written off in the
accounts.
The opinion of the commission on this
proposition written by Commissioner
Decker. holds that a petition for approval
of plan for consolidation of corporations
subject to the jurisdiction of the commits
sion may be presented prior to actual exc
cution of the consolidation by the commits
sion. The intended capitalization of the
new consolidated company is a material
factor for consideration upon the question
of approval by the commission Of the trans
fer Of properties, and must be submitted
as a necessary part of such plan for con-
soldation.
The general rule. constituting an express
sion of the purpose of the law in regulating
consultations. that the public interest shall
be protected and served, is applicable in all
cases: but 1t is not found practicable to
lay down other governing rules under which
consultations of these public service cor
porations shall be approved denied. In
the present case, where gas and electric
companies are sought to be Consolidat ted
the objection that these constitute a COM
bination of competing public service cor
porations has little force. since the service
involved is in small towns. where the con-
sCldated company, to increase its revenue
must seek to develop both branches Of
business in all practicable ways: and the
situation here presented is distinguished
from that shown by location of the COM
panies In cities of considerable size where
the proposed consolidated company might
favor extension OF one kind of business
against the other, as, for example a
cheaper operated electric service over a
more expensive gas service.

WORKER IN CHINA HERE
DIR. Reid Comes to Explain Aim
of International Institute.

DR.. Gilbert Reid the founder and d.
rector in chief of the International 1nsti-
tute of China, is a guest of Mr.. and Mrs.
Alonzo Peck at their home. No. West
sd street. He is IN this city by appoint
ment of his committee for the object OF
presenting the cause of the institute to
people in this country. It is purposed, on
behalf of the institute, to create feeling
of friendliness and Cancellation between
the East and the West and to advance
knowledge and enlightenment rather than
to evangelize the Chinese people.
The International Institute Of China has
been unusually successful in securing the
assistance, both moral and financial. OF
the Chinese themselves in its work. Out
of 100000 which has been expended on the
institute since its beginning, more than
two-thirds has been contributed by the
Chinese. This marks one Of the few cases
where the Chinese have co-operated in an
enterprise under foreign direction.
In addition to the financial aid rendered
by the Chinese many Americans have come
forward in behalf of the institute. William
G. Low, chairman Of the American COM
mittee, has contributed $500. and others
who have given money to the cause are
Seth Low. Senator Wetmore. General
SickIes. Robert NJ. ELEPHANT and John E
Parsons.
Passing through Washington from the
Pacific DR.. Reid met the President and
Secretary Knox. The latter gave him a let
ter expressing appreciation Of the generous
support Of the Chinese government.
When asked as to the way in which the
work of the institute is conducted DR..
Reid said: LAS the foreign residents Of
China consist almost entirely Of the mer-
chant class, educationists and the mission
airy class. we aim at bringing these to-
gether to meet Chinese of similar spirit
on an equal basis and with mutual regard
and appreciation"

CIVIL TRIALS FOR CHILDREN
Changes in the Procedure of Juvenile
Courts Under New Laws.

Albany, July 3.-Radical departures In
the method of hearing cases Of juvenile Of
Tenders and neglected children in New York
Syracuse and Monroe County are provided
for in the laws Of 1910, recently signed by
Governor Hughes. Children in these places
may, instead Of being tried by criminal
procedure. be heard by a special procedure
which relieves them entirely of the stigma
of a criminal conviction. Children's courts
in these places, instead of finding children
guilty. may adjudge them to be in need Of
the care and protection of the state and
place them On probation.
In Monroe County. including the city. of
Rochester the cases of delinquent and neg
lected children Will not be tried by police
magistrates or justices of the peace after
December 81, but will be heard in a special
part of the county court
Two additional children's courts are 70
be established in greater New York, MAX
ing four such courts in that city. and for
the first time these courts are 20 have the
services of publicly paid probation officers
Chapter 699 of the Laws Of 1910, intro
duced by Assemblyman MacGregor, pro-
vides that parents, guardians or other
adults charged with contributing to the de-
linquency OF children may be summoned
before a magistrate for an investigation,
and may. without conviction and upon con-
sent of the defendant, be placed, with or
without bonds, under the oversight Of a pro-
baton officer.
Chapter 610 of the Laws of 1910. intro
duced by Assemplyman Fowler. amends the
code of criminal procedure by providing.
among other things that after September
children may be kept on probation until
their eighteenth birthday, and that adults
may be kept on probation for not exceeding
two or five years. according as their offence
is misdemeanor or a felony.
Governor Hughes has also approved two
companion bills by Mr.. Fowler amending
the criminal code in relation to probation.
