LIVING COST HITS SCHOOLS
Johns Hopkins University Will Put
Up Tuition Price.

Baltimore Hopkins Univers-
ity, in common with other big insti-
buttons of learning in the country, is
feeling the pinch of the higher cost of
things, and with a growing enroll
ment is facing the need of an increase
in tuition fees.
In the last 20 years practically
every big institution has had to raise
its tuition, except Johns Hopkins,
Yale and Harvard Hopkins raised
its charge for arts and sciences from
S125 to $3.50 in 1892, and opened its
medical department the following year
with tuition charge of 5000.
The announcement has just been
made by DR.. Ira Remsen, president,
that for those who enter the medical
school hereafter the tuition will be
greater than it has been in the past.

Vice Consul Bevan. The consul said
it was supposed a submarine volcanic
disturbance had killed the fish, which
range from six-foot tarpons to 1S-inch

fish has caused great discomfort and
much uneasiness for fear of an cpl

FAVOR INSURANCE
 FOR ALL EMPL0YES

Prominent labor leaders and rep resentatives of the Bridgeport and Danbury Business Mems associations were present this morning in the county court house at a hearing held by the state commission on indus trial insurance. This commission was appointed in accordance with an act passed by the last legislature. Ar engagements were made for a public meeting here today and also one in Waterbury April p. The members of the commission are Talcott H. Russell of New Haven, chairman; Burton Mansfield, New Haven, John Eccles, Norwich
 The commission is ordered to in- vestigate and report to the next ses- sion of the legislature upon the 1e- gality, advisability and practicability of establishing a state insurance de- partment as means of providing compenSa ton for workmen and others injured through accidents occurring in industrial occupations.
 Timothy A. Flanagan, president of the State Federation of Labor, said he thought some legislation was ad- visable. He thought if a State In- surance department were adopted il should apply to all classes of employ CTS, regardless of how many men they employ. There is just as much risk in working for a small contractor as for a firm which employs hundreds, Mr. Flanagan said.
 Jasper McLevy, business agent for the Central Labor Union, was also heard. He thought all employers, no matter how many they employed, should be included. He declared that under the present law a man might go to court and get a judgment against contractor and then be un> able to collect damages because the contractor did not have sufficient property
 John J. O'Neil, a prominent local Ia. bor leader, M. H. Coley, Westpor, manufacturer, Attorney John w. Banks, representing the Bridgeport Manufacturers association and Former Senator Bowen, representing the Dan- bury Manufacturers, were also heard. All expressed themselves in favor of industrial insurance. Andrew J Gates of Hartford, was present in the interest of the insurance com- panieS
