Today any citizen of New Jersey
who wants. to see the governor can
see him. That private office door has
never been closed.
When Wilson became governor

political condition as a state could
be. A crowd Of Republican and Dem

FOR NIGHT FIGHT

Following the trial in police court
of John r. Wardlaw, the expelled Tech
student. and his payment Of fine Of
S25.75 for attacking aud beating G II.
Conacher. another student, a night. all
is serene today at Tech.
Both Conacher and Wardlaw say
They arc satisfied. and therein probably
be no further action by the faculty
Nearly 100 Tech students attended
the trial Yesterday afternoon in police
court. but there was no demonstration
Of any kind in favor Of either Of the
two principals The college boys APP
peared in the court room in body.
WardIaw Pleads Justification
Wardlaw made no denial of his as
sault on Conacher, explaining that he
was justified by reason Of reports made
to the faculty by Conacher, who is
student supervisor in the gymnasium.
Wardaw said these reports of breaches
of discipline had resulted in his dis
charge from the institution.
Wardlaw also admitted that he had a
fight with Conacher in the gymnasium
two weeks ago. at the time he was
dropped from the roll 1t was shown
that on Conachers report Wardlaw
had been given three "offenscs' or bad
marks-one for entering the gym. with
out his shirt, another for wearing his
shoes in the gym. and the third for
improperly handling the basket ball.
WardlaW was also reported for his
fight in the gym and then he was
dropped.
Revenge for Grudge Seen
Wardlaw told the court that Coma
cher had used his authority to even
UP personal grudge by reporting him,
and that he decided he would avenge
himself with his fists. Conach6r de-
MED he had any grudge against Ward
law and said he had merely done his
duty
Judge Broyes, in imposing the fine,
said Wardlaw had no right to take the
law in his own hands. and that the
midnight assault was unjustified.

NEW YORK. June 1.-THE big guns
Of the money trust Investigation we're
trained upon Wall Street collectively
today for the committee on banking

the stock exchange, and others who
are familiar with the working of the
big exchange, to tell what they knew
about the gentle art of handling the
finances of a great nation.
The stock exchange investigation
was expected to explain how It is pos
sible for one concern to have bought
and sold during a year many times its
total capitalization. These concrete in
stances of such transactions have been
called to the attention Of the commit
tee covering the sales of last year:
There We're handled on the stock ex~
change last year 33,000,000 shares of
United States steel Corporation. or
seven times the total capitalizat ton Of
the corporation.
There were handled 100000 shares
of Union Pacific or eight times its cap
italization
There were handled 23,00o.o00 shares
of Reading, or ten times the total cap
italization of the company
The committee has been privately
told that majority Of the stock of
these three corporations are held by
many stockholders who did not part
with them at all during the year. and
the line of investiga ton is directed
toward finding out how it is a huffman
possibility for sales involving many
