majority OF the trustees are on no
committees
Why is it that the State has no rep
resentative on the Prudential Commit
tee-the most important, and that the
Committee on Instruction and Disci-
pine, the second in Importance, is
composed o. majority OF the original
board?
Why is it necessary to have thirty
trustees, of fourteen do the work!
Has the new charter been carefully
prepared by the committee appointed
for that purpose-or has it been pre-
pared by or under the direction OF the
few trustees mentioned above as a
Community OF Interests?
If this latter is the case hadn't the
college better get along on another
temporary charter-whie a new COM
mittee prepares new charter in the
interest OF the State. rather than in
the interest OF any trustee, trustees or
other individuals
Doesn't economy seem to demand
the best charter that can be drawn?
Do the trustees have rule prevent
ing professor in the college from
holding any other position?
II they do, how is it possible that
the minister in the Newark Presby-
terrain Church holds a job at the col
lege as a full professor?
And ii they don't, is it not highly
improper to mix any denomination in
the affairs OF the college?
Is it not true that large majority
of the board are Presbyterian, and in
view OF this isn't the above instance
full OF meaning?
Is there a committee Of Trustees to
authorize expenditures before they are
made?
Ii so, why are all appropriations
over-expended?
When the State appropriates money
to the farm or college is any return
ever made to show ii the money was
spent as intended, il not, why not?

Does the board maintain any up.to.

circulated throughout the State
Is there any regulation covering the
travels OF the professors or other.
outside the State?
II not, who pays the bills?
Should this matter be regulated?
Why do some people connected with
the college want this new charter tc
disturb nothing?
Will the new charter prevent a
clash of authority between the presi
dent o. the college and the director
OF the farm and Experimental Station:
Is it true that mule was brought
Tor the farm and shipped by express
and afterwards sold for less than the
State paid for it? If so, does the
board authorize such operation?
Is it true that favored citizens re.
ceive from the farm stock or any
thing else without charge?
Why doesn't the State require some
business, as we'll as teaching organi.
cation to run its college?
Why should the college business be
run by the Rule of Thumb"
Think we'll over these inquiries, gen
tlemen OF the Legislature, and demand
a charter that will be a credit to your
selves and to the State.

KNOX ENDS WORK
ON PEACE TREATY
Draft Sent to ENJOYS of Britain and
France-Other Nations Are
Invited.

Washington. Secretary Knox
has submitted the draft of his ar
bitration treaty, which will serve
as a basis for negotiations between
nations for the settling of all dis
putes, to the ambassadors of Great
Britain and France.
The fact that this movement would
be inaugurated with France as well as
Great Britain came as a surprise.
When President Taft last December
enunciated the doctrine of comprehen-
sive arbitration, he received a quick
response from Ambassadors Bryce
and Jusserand that Great Britain and
France were willing to begin negotia-
tons.
The president instructed Secretary
Knox to crystalline the proposition
which this government would ofrer.
The secretary has evolved document
which expands the scope Of the exist
ing arbitration treaties by eliminat-
ing the exceptions referring to "ques-
tons of vital interest and national
honor"
The tentative draft of the proposed
treaty was described by Secretary
Knox in the following official state
ment:
"The department has completed a
draft of a general arbitration treaty,
which has been approved by the presi-
dent and will be submitted to the
French and British ambassadors. This
draft represents what this governm ent
believes to be sound basis for nego-
tiations for the extension of the scope
Of its arbitration treaties.
"The general features of the draft
are these: 1t expands the scope of
our existing general arbitration agree
ments by eliminating the exceptions
contained in existing ones Of questions
of vital interest and national honor.
ut is proposed that all differences
that are internationally justifiable
shall be submitted to The Hague tri-
bunal, unless by special agreement
some other tribunal is created or Sc
lected.
ut provides that differences that
either country thinks are not interna-
tionally justifable shall be referred to
a commission of inquiry with power to
make recommendations for their set
Element This commission to be made
up of nationals of the two govern
ments who are members of the Hague
court
Before arbitration is resorted to,
even in cases where both countries
agree that the difference is one sus-
ceptible of arbitral decision, the COM
mission of inquiry shall investigate
the difference with a view of recon-
mending settlement that will pre-
clude the necessity of arbitration"

net Ministers.
MEANS END OF lNSURRECTIoN
Vice-President Corral Must Also Quit
DE La Barra to Take Reins
and Will Be President
AID Interim.

Mexico City The terms which
President Diaz is willing to grant
in order to restore peace to Mex
leo was made public here. They
/ constitute practically complete sur

are:
President Diaz and Vice-President
new election will be called within
six months.
Minister of Foreign Relations de la
Barra will become president ad in
term
Francisco l. Madero, the revolution
airy leader, will be called to the City
of Mexico to act as De la Barra's chief
| adviser and as the greatest guarantee
possible that every pledge made by
the government will be carried out.
AS viewed by the public it will be
virtually joint presidency pending
the calling of a new presidential cleo
ton.
The minister of war will be named by
De la Barra The foreign Office will
! be in charge of a sub-secretary named
by De la Barra. Other cabinet mem
bers will be chosen by De la Barra
and Madero acting jointly.
new election will be called within
six months.
Political amnesty will be recon-
mended to the chamber of deputies.
The resignation of Diaz and the
Joint regency of De la Barra and
Madero are said to constitute guar
antee so complete that the original
insurrecto demand of IA governors no
longer needs to be considered.
The cabinet was in almost continu-
Gus session for two days, despite the
severe illness of President Diaz. The
presidents entire face is infected from
an liberated tooth. His upper lip is
swollen far beyond its normal size
and his face is infiamed
He speaks with the greatest diff
Guilty, but while he is in severe pain,
his condition is not alarming at this
time, despite his advanced age.
The governments conditions were
telegraphed to Judge Carbajal, with
instructions to submit them to Gen
eral Madero Soon after the terms
were submitted an armistice covering
the entire republic of Mexico was
agreed upon. Inasmuch as the gov
eminent believes it has made every
concession that the revolutionists
have requested, it is firmly believed
that a treaty of peace will follow
The public received the announce
ment of Diazs intention to resign
with profound satisfaction Since the
battle of Juarez they have realized
that the presidents remuneration of
his high Office alone could bring about
peace. Business throughout the repub-
lie has suffered severely and the peo-
pie generally were eager for an honor
able peace.

baIIing-Three Officials
Resign.

Washington, May 18.-There has de-
veloped an unprecedented furry in
club circles here, especially at the
Metropolitan club, as a result of Pres
ident Taft's speech at the Jewish
Temple, in which he strongly de
nounced the practice of social clubs
blackballing or barring members be
cause they were self-made men.
The presidents language and refer
ences pointed Enthusiastically to the re-
cent action of the Metropolitan club
here in refusing admittance to Martin
w. Littleton, representative from New
York, and Senator C. w. Watson of
West Virginia.
The presidents remarks were
prompted by the statement of Rev.
Madison Peters of New York who pre-
coded him. Rev. Mr., Peters said that
Jews were excluded from exclusive
clubs because they were Jews.

WHY THE TURKEY is BALD
Lost Feathers In Saving the Last
Spark of Fire, Is the Indian
Legend.

The Indians of our country have
many legends connected with certain
peculiar habits or customs prevalent
among them. If one should chance to
visit the home of an old Indian he
would perhaps notice a turkey wing
hanging near the fire.
This the Indian uses to fan his fire
into flame and make it burn bright
ly, or perhaps in the sultry days of
summer to fan himself. If asked why
he uses the turkey wing instead of the
wing of any other bird he would no
doubt relate the following story:
Many years ago the fire of the world
was nearly extinguished; this hap
pened just at the beginning of the
winter season. The birds of the air
were filed with anxiety, for their in
tuition told them they would need
heat
A bird council was held and it was
decided that birds which could fly the
highest should soar into the air and
see If they could find a spark of fire
anywhere. The efforts of the eagle,
lark and raven were in vain. The
honor was left to the little brown
sparrow, who spied a spark of fire in
the hollow of an old stump in the
heart of a deep forest.
The birds f1ocked around the stump
and tried to decide who should pick
the spark out But all their efforts
were in vain; to their dismay they
saw the spark growing smaller and
fainter.
The turkey then volunteered to try
to keep the tiny coal alive by tanning
1t with his wings. Day after day the
turkey kept tanning, the heat became
greater each day. until the feathers
were singed off the turkeys head. If
one notices carefully he will see Jumps
on the head of a turkey that appear
as blisters.
1t is believed that the turkey was so
badly burned that all turkeys since
have had bald heads and wear the
bIisters as a memento of the bravery
of the turkey. The faithful turkey
lost his beautiful feathers, but he gave
back fire to the world; so in his honor
and as a memorial to his faithfulnesS
the Indian uses the turkey wing to
make his fire burn.-The Red Man.

ProhIenn of the Planets.

1.-The amount of ignorance not yet
removed concerning the planets is
very great" writes Mr.. E. E. Grew.
I'VE do not know, for example, wEeth-
er the planet Venus rotates. If it
does, it may possibly have a life and
a vegetation like our own, though we
suspect that it is clothed in eternal
cloud. Of Saturn's rings we cannot
say whether they consist of millions
of tiny moons like brickbats or wheth-
er they may be even smaller still-a
veil of shining dust. OF Jupiter we
can only say that it is covered with
clouds, though of their substance we
know nothing, and according to Pro
fessor Lowell and Sir William Hug
gins some of the bands we see on it
may be riffs in the clouds revealing
the body of the planet. Little lines
criss-cross these bands Photographs
of Jupiter taken at Flagstaff Observa-
tory, Arizona, seem to indicate that
these lines too are the upper clouds of
Jupiter. But whenever we see a planet
we see it badly. Even Mars, the most
clearly revealed of them all, is con-
stantIy obscured by a refracting haze,
so that even of the famous canals, :"
though nearly five hundred in number,
only a few are perceptible at a time,
and an unskilled observer would pro-
badly not make them out at ALL Sand
storms, sometimes snowstorms, sweep
the surface of the planet, and because
the winds of Mars are very gentle and
sICa moving these occurrences take
long time to pass by.

Washington.-The Supreme court
of the District of Columbia on its own
initiative instituted proceedings for
alleged contempt against President
Samuel Gompers, President John
Mitchell and Secretary Frank Morri-
son of the American Federation of
Labor.
The sentences of Imprisonment i'm
posed on these men by this court were
revoked by the United States Supreme
court and the case remanded to the
district supreme court.
The United States Supreme court,
in setting aside the sentences of i'm
prisonment, held that the case on
which the lower court had acted con-
stituted civil contempt against the
Bucks Stove and Range company, and
by a fine to be recovered by the
wronged corporation.
Justice Lamar, in handing down the
opinion, called attention to the fact,
however, that if the lower court felt
aggrieved it could have brought Grim
inal contempt proceedings in the
premises and have inflicted Jail SEN
tence
The lower court has been quick to
take advantage of the opportunity af-
forded to reopen the case. AS the
labor dispute which brought the case
into court had ended IT was DresI1me ed
