Regarding Prof. William caIIyhan

Regarding Prof. William Callyhan Robinson, dean of the Law school of the Catholic university of America since 1895, and before tn tt lecturer and pro- lessor of law at Yale. whose death oc- cured in Washington on Monday night, following an apoplectic shock, Dean Henry W. Rogers, present dean of the Yale Law school, made the fol- lowing statement:
 T am sorry to hear of the death of Dean Robinson. For a number of years he was connected with the law faculty of Vale. and was recognized as an ex- ceptionally good teacher. He left the Law school before my connection with it began, but I have heard much of h's work, and always what has been said of it has been in high degree complimentary. I have met him number of times since he went to Washington and had as a result direct knowledge of his personal charm and admirable qualities. The news of his death will be received with sorrow by all Yale men who knew him. and by the profession generally, who knew elementary law has been used here for years
 Prose ssor Robinson was born in Nor wich. Conn. on July 26. 1884, Dart mouth B. A. 1854. He graduated from the General Theological Seminary in 1S57- Dartmouth gave him an LID. in 1879, and Yale an M A. in 1881.
 While in New Haven he was judge of the city court from IS69-1S71 and judge of the court of common pleas for New Haven county from 1871 to 1876 He vas also noted writer of legal text.

HIGH PRICES CAUSED BY MODERN SYSTEMS OF TRADE

No one single consumer is going to be able to reform this condition of affairs. It has grown into a custom which seems to be nationwide. Start ing with the natural desire of the rich to save themselves the trouble they didn't like by paying for it with the money they had in excess, 1t has spread to the entire people, though three out of four who now avail them selves of it really cannot afford money so well as work and pains When a bad custom has become firmly en- grafted on a communitys life, it is. indeed, hard and slow work to kill it off.
 But when the consumers leagues. which are beginning to spring up all over tne country are considering ways and means to cut down the cost of ! living and combat high prices. this phase is one which may well deserve their attention.
 One enterprising and foresighted grocer out in California has ''taken the bull by the horns" and started oui for himself to see if consumers really want to save money rather than trou ble. He has established in one quar- ter of the state a chain of what he calls Basket Stores.' They are run on very simple-a sort of heart to heart hand to mouth fashion They sell goods for cash and cash only and make no deliveries. The customer comes after what he wants, pays for what he buys, and takes his goods with him. This merchant has found from his past experience that he can sell for from fifteen to twenty-five per cent. less, if he can eliminate the cost of delivery, of bookkeeping. of tele- phone service, and the loss from bad debts inevitably borne in any system of running accounts.
 He has put it squarely up to his GUS toners to decide which they would rather save-money or trouble. How they'll answer the question is not yet clear. The enterprise has started off well. Most any broom sweeps when it's new. The test will come later, when the novelty has worn off.
 When 1t comes, it will be test not so much of the storekeeper's sagacity as of the sincerity and intelligence of the consumers.

 matter that now more than ever is engaging the attention and serious thought of many educators is the prob lem of college entrance examina tions. It is problem that particularly touches Yale: and one writer who has been in preparatory school work for the past 20 years expresses as his con- viction that better education at Yale is what is necessary. He believes that the matter of entrance requirements will take care of itself when Yale proves to the country at large that the stu dents are better taught and receive a better education than at Princeton or Harvard.
 The weakness at the present time. he points out in the Alumni Weekly is the quality of the teaching ofthe freshman and sophomore years by un- derpaid and inexperienced graduate students. Incidentally he finds from his experience that the supply of good men teachers is contracting with alarming rapidity.

GAS CO. IN TROUBLE
Most Work Improvements Costing
$4,000 to Cure Damage Due to
Neg ect In Cleaning.

The supply of gas was meagre all
over the city yesterday and yegser-
DAY afternoon was practically cut off
north of Eighth street. 1t is e.-
pected that the pressure will again
be put on sometime before noo1 to.
day. The reason for the shutting
off of the gas is that it has become
necessary to clean out the pipes that
have became corroGeG and almost
choked UP by tar and other Arb
stances. A number of negroes have
been employed lately in trying to
clean out these pipes, by standing
over the coke ovens where the hea,
and fumes are intense. They could
not stand the heat and fumes more
than few minutes at time. II
was finally found necessary to snu,
off the ovens entirely to get at the
cleaning properly.
The Mckinley systems gas expert
arrived yesterday and will superin
tend the work, which when complet
ed it is hoped by all gas users, vii
increase the Illuminating power ant

done six months ago, this stoppagt
of the flow of gas would not hav,

officers that brought Bankson to jail;
that Police Chief Cowell did not say
