The one important thing in
which the signers Of the Declare.
tion erred was in arranging Their
Independence Day according to
the Pope instead of according to
the moon. The Lunar instead Of
the Gregorian calendar was what
we needed most. To have had
the Fourth of July always come
on Saturday would have been q
fitting climax to their patriotic
task.
1.-THE first Saturday after the
first full moon after the summer
solstice," is the way it shold have
read. Then we could have ceiebrat-
ed from Friday night clear
through till Monday morning.
And that would have been q lfol-
iday worth while.
As it is. we must simply make
the best of a bad matter. Most OF

deinic which has already called one
child to it's death and has in its grasp
six other children. Physicians are
unable to determine the origin of the
disease but believe it is caused from
drinking water
The peculiar phase of the case is
that only childrer nave been attacked.
While older persons seem TO be inn
mune.

GASRECORDS
NOT FOUND?

The Public Utilities Commission to-
day continued its hearing in the mat
ter of the Public Service Corporation
regarding the price of gas in the Pas
saic and Paterson district. The OBJ
iect of the hearing is to make an ap-
praisal Of the property with view
to reducing the price of gas
Marvin Scudder, public accountant
qualified as an expert and testified as
to his examination of the books.
Frank H. Sommer. counsel for the
com mission. questioned him. Mr.
Scuoder said that the opening entry
of the Paterson and Passaic Company
showed a valuation of more than
$4,000. 900. q ssia
II assumed, rightly or wrongly he
added. that the companies that
merged had neither surplus nor de-
felt, and that the total bonds and
stocks in the merging companies were
an offset to the assets of the COM
pany."
He said the books of the Ridgewood
Gas Company, covering operations,
were submitted to him. They were
Incomplete, he added, and he was
hampered. Some were reported
missing. Some OF the records as TO
capital, etc, had been scratched eff
with a knife. he declared.
The cost of the physical property
in the Passaic division, he said, he
found to have been A,0s2,65S. He
found also that the return on the in
Vestment was .13S for eight years and
seven months ending December 81,
1911. He declared some of the cost
figures put in evidence earlier were
ridiculous.
The earnings OF the Paterson and
Passaic Gas and Electric Company
for three years from February Is,
1903. to June l. 1908. were S507,S6i.55
he testified. and he believed the net
income has been $3,13O4 ass. The re-
turns for 1911, he said, were .l4S, and
in 1910 it was .15.
The company here eontended that
the expert had gone on assumption.
and that it objected to having the

PRINCETON, June 1O.-The Prince
ton campus was turned over to the
graduating class of 1912 today by
President Hibben at the opening
class day exercises in Alexander

persons witnessed the Yale-Princeton
baseball game.
The class day exercises opened TINS

a band played Princeton songs.
The 'old grads, who had returned

village lively with their merry max
ing.
