INSTITUTE HAS
TEN MILLIONS
Original Fund for Starting
of Rice School.

Few institutions Of learning have
begun their existence under such aus
picious circumstances as the Will
liam M. Rice Institute, which opened
its doors this fall at Houston, Texas,
with an original fund for 100000
90 for endowment and maintenance;
with the foremost educators in the
nation aiding In planning it's future;
with picked men for administrative
Offices and faculty; and with a vlgor-
Gus, growing country in which to
prosper and WELD it's influence. 1t is
small wonder that the opening of
this institution should be attended
by noted educators from all over the
world, as we'll as official government
representatives. DR.. p. p. C~laxton,
United States Commissioner of Edu-
cation, deputized as special %represen-
tative of the Bureau at the ceremo-
MES DR.. Kendrick G.. Babcock, spe-
cialist In higher education.
Rice Institute was made possible
by the munificence of william Marsh
Rice, a native of Massachusetts, but
for many years a resident Of Houston.
Before his death In 1900, Mr.. Rice
made far-reaching plans for the es-
Establishment of a nonpolitical and
| nonsectarian institution to be dedi-
| Gated to the advancement OF letters,
science and art. During the long
period of litigation that followed Mr..
Rice's death, the trustees called DR..
| Edgar Odell Lovett. a professor In
Princeton University, a man of wide
experience and lofty aims to aid them
Is president in realizing the found
er's aspirations. President Lovett
was instructed to learn all he could
about other institutions of higher
learning before beginning his own.
| He travelled all over the world In
the interest of the new enterprise,
visited the leading educational and
scientific establishments, and re-
turned in the summer of 1909 from
a years journey of study that ex-
tended from England to Japan.
Meanwhile the trustees had secured
900 acres of land on the extension
of Houston's main thoroughfare as
a site for the institute, and engag-
ed experts to begin upon a compre-
hensive architectural plan that would
embody in succeeding years the pur-
noses of the institute. This fall
| building operations had progressed
so far that is was deemed advisable
to hold formal dedication exercises
and to open the institution to stu
dents.
AS a result of the systematic
planning for the future, the build
ings of Rice Institute will be a rea.
contribution to American architec-
ture. Evolved from the best Euro
pean types, yet carefully adjusted
to the climatic conditions of the
Southwest, the buildings will illus

of architecture. The institute vii

EXEMPT FIREMEN TO
TEST THEWALSH ACT
(From the NEWS Correspondent.

NrToW tHc W. Vo CoTTbSpoHdeHC.J
Trenton, Oct. 21.-The question
whether an exempt fireman is duly
protected in office by the exempt
firemen's act SO that he is not eff
fected by the Walsh Commission
Government act, is raised in a suit
brought in the Supreme Court by
John W. Carey, of Atlantic City,
against Mayor William Riddle and
the other commissioners of Atlantic
City. The City Commissioners have
discharged Carey as Assistant Health
Inspector. He was receiving a sal
airy of $50 a month in the office and
claims he was not appointed for any
definite term. He wants a certificate
as an exempt fireman of the Old Vol
unteer Fire Department of Atlantic
City.
Carey claims that he is still pro-
tected by the exempt f1remen's act,
and, therefore, could not legally be
removed from the office. At a meet
Ing of the Commissioners in Septem-
Der, they appointed four men tempo
rarily as Assistant Health Inspectors
for a period not to exceed four
months at a salary of SIS a month,
but Carey, who had already been re-
moved by the new commission, was
not one Of those appointed.

MAY CONTRACT
ON THURSDAY
Council Plans for Gas Light
at %SpotsWOod.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

W nv IL NNfI NE D.
Spotswood, Oct. 21-Because of a
more pressing business engagement,
the engineer of the Public Service
Gas Company, of New Brunswick,
was unable to come to Spotswood
last week and go over the streets,
which will be lighted by gas lamps
In the near future, if the plans of
Common Council materialize. In
stead, the engineer will come to this
place on Wednesday and go over the
ground with the light committee, of
which Councilman Joseph Hodapp,
Jr., Is chairman. Councilmen HAM
llton Hazlehurst and William J. Bis
sett are other members of this COM
mittee, but Mr.. Bissett is visiting
his son, William, Jr., at Yorklyn,
Del, and will be unable to make the
trip. Mayor Arthur B. Appleby is i'll
and will be another absentee.
According to councils plans, fifty
one or more lights will be installed
on the borough streets. If the
council enters into a contract to pur-
chase more than fifty gas lights, the
contracting company will erect and
maintain anne for s27 per year. If
less than fifty lights are purchased,
the price will be $28 pei year.
Therefore. it is considered very
probable that the councilmen will
agree to the fifty-one of more lights
proposition. The Borough faith
ers' will meet on Thursday night
and hear a report of the engineers
findings on the Wednesday inspec-
ton. An effort will be made to have
a contract signed on Thursday night.

CAMDEN FIGHT
TAX DECISION
Appeals Reduction of As
ssssment on Trust Company.
(Fyom the NEWS Correspondert.)

(From the NEWS Correspondent
Trenton, Oct. 21:-The City of
Camden has filed in the Supreme
Court its reasons on which it's bases
its suit for a writ of certiorari to set
aside the reduction made by the
State Board for the Equalization of
Taxes of the assessment made by the
city assessors against the Camden
Safe Deposit & Trust Company. The
valuation made by the Camden as
SCISSORS was $505,750, and the State
| Tax Board ordered this reduced to
SHAPES. The reduction was made
under the Buck Bank tax act, which
it is claimed in many sections Of the
state works an injustice to the small
taxpayers by the large exemptions in
taxes it gives to the banks.
The return to the Camden assess
ors made by the bank showed capital
stock paid in and an accumulated
surplus Of $1,172,470.95. The bank
claimed tax exemption on montana
BILE securities and personal property
amounting to $921,104.10, and on
real estate of $137,143.75, or a total
reduction of 81, 05S,247.S5, or prac-
tically wiping out altogether the
taxes against the bank. The reasons
filed by the city why it claims its
assessment should sIand are as fol-
lows:
That the valuation was duly, law
fully and properly made; hat the
Camden Safe Deposit and Trust
Company is not entitled to the ex-
emption claimed by it and allowed
by the state board; that the nom
taxable securities on which exemp-
ton was and is claimed by the trust
company, were investments made
from the deposits, and not from the
capital stock paid in or its accumula-
tive surplus; that the assessment
made by the Camden assessors was
based on the capital stock and sur
plus, and not on the deposits, and
there being no assessment for the
deposits, the deductions from the
assessment for Investments made
from deposits was unlawfully SO de-
Quoted; that there vas no authority
by the tax act given to the Camden
assessors, or to the State Board to
make the deduction that was made.
