she married year ago.

Court Holds d. u. R. Can't
Charge Five-Cent Fare on
the Pingree Lines
PASSENGER WAS PUT OFF
Railway Will at Once Appeal
Case-Final Decision
Important

sort OF preliminary skirmish in
the big battle to determine the right
or the ID. U. r. to charge fiye-cent
fares on certain lines was decided ad.
5ersely to the company In Justice JET.
lrtes' court, Wednesday morning,
when Dan Mcleod, conductor on a
brush car. was fined S., with the al.
-ernatiye OF serving 10 days, for put
ting ABE" Ackerman off a car when
le rendered 'three-cent" ticket, and
.efused to pay more.
Disturbing the peace was the tech
lical charge, but the decision involves
che right OF the company to collect
ive-cent fares on cars running on
tracks covered by the old Pingree
ordinance.
The Brush cars, under council per-
init, now run north on Hastings-st.,
which is a three-cent line. II is
charged that the Fourteenth service is
crippled by the Brush cars, and Ack-
erman brought the case as a test OF
the company's right. 1t will be ap-
pealed to the recorders court, 1t was
announced. and the decision OF the
upper court means much to persons
who patronize the line.
In a meeting Of the council last
Saturday, Aid. McCarty put through
4 resolution asking the corporation
counsel for an opinion as to whether
the ID. u. r. had forfeited the fran
chise granted the old Detroit Railway
company by charging a five-cent fare
on Hastings-st. A formal opinion has
not been given, although in an off-hand
statement, the corporation counsel
says he does not believe the franchise
could be forfeited, because even
though the five-cent fare be illegal,
the company has the right under the
franchise to remedy the situation.

TRAILS MAN TO TORONTO

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Detective
William j. Burns told the Lorimer in
vestigating committee today the re-
sNt OF his Investigations into the test
imony of Charles MCGOWAN, one or
the witnesses produced in rebuttal by
the Lorimer defense.
Burns said he was employed by the
Lorimer committee from July to Octo-
her. 1911. He then dropped the case
because the committee stopped his
fees.
Afterwards he said he met Joseph
Kelley, managing editor of the Chi
cago Tribune in New York.
"Keeley asked me whether was
still at work on McGowan," said Burns.
II told him no. Then he declared
that McGowan's testimony should be
investigated and that he would pay
the bill II would continue the work.
Il did so and found that MCGOWAN
lived with his father In a little town
near Toronto.
Il telephoned to the elder MCGOWAN
and asked that he and HIS son call

smile.
Then he asked me to come to see
him and assured me that would not

II left the service OF this commit

niittce regarded my expenses as pro-
hibitive."
Was Il not because no results
were accomplished" asked Chairman
Dillingham;.
Il think not" answered Burns.
Asked as to his purpose in seeing
McGowan, Burns said:
81 wanted TO advise him to return
TO the committee. admit that he had
committed perjury last summer and
tell the truth"
Burns described his agency and
how he investigated cases. At one
point, Judge Hanecy. counsel for
Lorimer, remarked audibly something
about the detective mending his
ways.
Il think that my reputation will
measure up with yours and that IL
will be found TO be even better,
Burns retorted.

Burns glared at Hanecy and exclaim-
cd:
Anytime you hand me anything
like that will hand it right back. We
did not investigate the Lorimer case
but only the McGowan end of II"
One of the biggest crowds that has
attended the hearings was on hand
today to hear the detective. Burns
aud one OF his sleuths were both
ready to testify. They investigated
the allegation that 81, 800 was paid

mnny favoring Lorimer. MCGOWAN
syore to the committee, early in the
investigation, that there was no
truth to the story that on one oc-
casicr, c. F. Wiehe, secretary of the
Hines Lumber Co., had declared that
there was a 100000 jackpot to elect
Lorimer. The occasion was during a
conversation on a train in Minnesota.

Make Princeton Democratic or
Get a New President" Ulti-
matum To Trustees
VOICE OF COMMON MEN
Says Universities Must Heed
Murmurs That Come From
Homes of Toilers
BY OLIVER p. NEWMAN,


Suppose you were president of a
grea. university.
And suppose one OF your trustees
one of your bosses-had a son In
school who wouldn't study; who
counted on his rich dads influence
TO get his diploma
And suppose that young scape-
grace turned up at commencement
without enough credits to entitle him
10 q sheepskin.
And suppose 1t was up to you to
say whether he should be "fiunked"
|or graduated
What would you do?
OF course, you think you'd be
courageous and funk the boy, but in
life things don't usually work out that
way. Screwed down 10 pinch, the
average human thinks about his hide,
and welches.
This very situation once stared
Woodrow Wilson In the face when he
was president of Princeton. But Will
son didn't WEIGH. He f1unked the son
OF the rich trustee.
Right there the trustees OF the
president found out what kind of
man they'd elected president.
But hunking unworthy boys was
only small part of Wilson's pro-
gram. He had been student of
Princeton; he had been a student at
other colleges; he had been a profes-
sor at other schools and at Princeton;
he believed that the world progresses
only from the rubbing together of
the various elements of society. Out
nf fhf1 EnnUlndUn onA hn-
lief, he reared a social program for
the university-he saw great insti-
tuition OF learning, where president,
faculty and students should mingle
together, for the good Of all.
And this is what he proposed:
To abolish the clubs. (They
take the place Of frats at Prince
TONI
To have al stpaents ausrtered
In "quadrangies,"To dormltories.
To have professors and lnstruc-
tors live In the dormitories,
mingle with the boys, -hecome
their friends, share their joys and
sorrows.
To allow the rich mans son no
more luxury than the poor mans
son.
The funny part of this program is
that the trustees approved it little
at a time, before they discovered the
dynamite in it, They didn't realize.
until it was all over, that they had
signed the order for Wilson to take
college aristocracy out in front of old
Nassau and wiring its neck.
The nub OF the whole thing was the
clubs. They are IL in number, and
