ENGINEERING PUT ON PLANE
WITH LAW AND MEDICINE

NEW YORK, November 19-Colum-
bia University may make radical
change, effective July 1, 1914, in her
engineering courses, so that they will
take up six years instead of four. The
plan has been unanimously approved
by the undergraduate faculties and
awaits the action of the trustees. The
idea is to elevate the engineering
courses to the plane of law and medi-
cine.
President Butler recommended sucn
revision of the engineering curricu-
lum in his annual report last year,
and since then the undergraduate ia
culties have been at work on the
scheme,

FRENCH SEEKING A
SUBSTITUTE FOR MILK.

PARIS, Novmber 1s.-Farmers and
manufacturers who use milk to any
extent have been reduced to the last
extremeties by the enforced rise in the
price of that commodity, and have
been experimenting with an artificial
substitute for which great things are
claimed.
1t has been discovered that by

use for drinking purposes does not
seem quite practicable.

funds from home is attributed to the

The trustees have granted the stu
dents an extension of time in which to

OF INAUGURATION DATE
AND ABOLITION OF SHORT SESSION

Washington should set the pace in
the matter of celebrations, at least
once in four years, by combining, at
Inauguration time, the big features
seen in celebrations elsewhere. The
adoption of such plan would attract
many additional thousands to the ma
tional capital.
Another reason for favoring the
changed date is the fact that the res
olution carries a proviso eliminating
the short session of Congress and Tx
ing the second Thursday of January
as the date of the commencement
and termination of the official term OF
Senators and Representatives. The
short term, converting in December,
is a source of Inconvenience, to say
the least. Members and employees, in
order to be on hand for this session,
usually leave their homes either be-
fore or Immediately after Thanksgiv-
ing Day. Congress hardly gets set
tied down to work until the holiday
period comes along, and really very
little is accomplished until after The
new year is ushered in. The change
would be welcomed by everybody, e&.
cept the comparatively few in Wash
ington who benefit from the presence
of members and employees during the
holiday season.

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 27.-A boat

Ger Anderson, Is missing from the

SAYS JUDGE PHELAN
SHOULD HAVE NO
OPPOSITION
Peculiarly Fitted for Bench and
Ought To Be Unanimous Choice Of
Voters, Asserts F. F. Bumps,
Prominent Republican Attorney.
Former Assistant Prosecutor Pays
Fine Tribute To Personality and
Legal Attainments Of Recorder.

Judge Phelan should have no op
position for nomination or election,
said Attorney Frank =. Bumps, Repub
lican. to The Times, in commenting
on the judges candidature to succeed
himself as recorder in the coming
spring elections.
~ have no hesitancy In supporting
Judge Phalan for another term" Mr.
Bumps continued. He is Democrat
and l am q Republican, but l see &c
reason why Republicans as well az
Democrats should not return him to
office. As a matter of fact, l know oi
no man better equipped for the
Office of recorder in this city. I had
a good chance to get well acquainted
with the judge while l served as as
sistant prosecutor, and l found him
the right man In the right place.
Judge Phelan is peculiarly fitted
for the position. In the first place,
he has grown up with the world, rub
bed shoulders with the people In
humble walks of life and has thus
been able to study the different phases
OF humanity. Then, too, he Is pos
sessed of more than an ordinary
amount of good. common sense, the
kind needed for the office OF Judge
In addition to these qualifications, the
Judge, through, his many years on the
bench. has become well versed In the
practice Of criminal courts. His, rul-
ings, however, are usually based on q
common sense view of the situation
before him, and 1t is seldom that he
makes an error In judgment Few
of his decisions have been reversed
by the supreme court.
Another feature which makes
Juoge Phelan a success as recorder
Is that he sees the amusing side oi
cases, particularly the ordinance com
plants, which come before him. This
is a strong point In his favor, because
II relieves the monotony Of the posi-
tion. Many O. Judge would be irri
table and peeSish In cases .'wher;
Judge Phelan IL happy and right q
home, so to speak. II IL well that
Judge Phelan is SO constituted, for he
can sit In court under all circum
stances and environment and give one
and all just trial and Judgment. ln
the event Of a stern, irritable man
DelnB on the DenCn, ucichuohts "outu
not likely get the same justice that
they do under Judge Phelan.
'In view of all the capabilities and
the admirable personality OF Judge
Phelan, I feel that the voters OF De
troit ought to pay him the compliment
OF returning him to office without op-
position of any kind. He shouldn
be opposed by any one. The business
men of the city are we'll pleased with
his work as recorder, and l don't
think any law-abiding citizen would
want to see anyone take his place
Therefore, say, let US. Democrats
and Republicans alike, see to 1t that
Judge Phelan is given another term
without having to fight for 1t. II
would be a well-deserved compli'
ment."

ADVERTISING TALKS.

No. CAB

When a merchant goes away
from his own town on a vaca-
ton or on a business trip, If he
takes the trouble to listen to
the comments on advertise
ments read By the guests while
lounging in the hotel corridors,
he can form a very good idea of
the KIND OF ADVERTISING
THAT APPEALS to them.
The consensus of opinion of a
number of guests at Pinehurst,
recently, was that the SIMPLY
WORDED ADVERTISEMENT,
describing the article to be sold
in a plain, straightforward way,
is the MOST EFFECTIVE ad-
vertisement.
If anybody ever had any
doubt about the VALUE OF
ADVERTISING - if he ever
had an idea that people do not
read advertisements carefully
and with great interest = let
him spend a few evenings in a
hotel corridor at any Winter or
Summer resort.

WOMAN DENIES
AUTHORIZING SUIT
Mrs. Mary Savage's Story Reflects On
Milligan Brothers, Attorneys
Latter Say She Retained Them.
WILLIAM L. Chiffon.

Charges of crooked work and trick
cry were hurled back and fourth In
Judge Donovan's court, Friday morn
ing, between Attorneys Clarence p.
and Harry Milligan, who represented
two plaintiffs In suits against the d..
U. R., and lawyers representing the
company, and the affair may lead to
an investigation by the circuit court
bench.
The cases of Mrs. Mary Savage and
Mrs. Mary Prochecki, both Of whom
were injured at the same time. when
Brush cars collided, and both OF
whom were represented by the Mill
eans, were set for trial In Judge Dono-
vans court A dispute arose as to
which case should be tried first, and
the charge was made that the attor-
! neys for the plaintiffs had shifted the
forder, and made 1t appear that the
Procheckf case should be tried first
While the dispute was In progress II
was reported to the court that Mrs.
Savage had claimed that she knew OF
no suit against the company until
her son told her of 1t. She took the
stand and testified that she was not
seriously injured, that she never en-
gagged the Milligans to start a suit,
and did not at this time want the
suit continued. Shortly after the ac-
cident. she said. she was called over
to Mrs. Prochecki's house, introduced
to one Of the Milligans, and asked
to allow his firm to start suit for her.
She says she refused to allow this,
and heard no more of II until her son
told her of 1t, Thursday. She said
that she was not seriously injured,
only shaken up some, and after the
accident walked with Mrs. Prochecki
several blocks.
The Milligan brothers make Wig
orous denial of the charges, and
show a contract that appears to have
been signed by Mrs. Savage's mark.
She said she never signed such pa
per. The attorneys also show a let
ter signed by Mrs. Mary Savage In
which she speaks Of the suit Mrs.
Savage made the claim, however, that
she did not write the letter.
The Milligans say that Mrs. Savage
has taken her present stand because
her son was given a job as motorman
shortly after his mothers injury.
Clarence Milligan also says he visit
ed Mrs. Savage In her own home,
saw the medicine she was taking, was
given a description of Mrs. Savage's
injury. and made a contract to begin
suit.
The case OF Mrs. Prochecki was con-
tinued, and went to the jury at noon.
