William Pitt, English statesman, re-

already married to his country, but the
truth is Lady Eleanor Eden would not
have him. He wanted to make it appear
that he was a woman hater, but the

Horace WalpoIe's passion for Mary
Berry was not returned, and SO he re-

James Thomson. the poet of The Sea-
sons ardently courted Miss Young, of

that the Senate had no Jurisdiction

1t recommended that all specifica-

New York, Feb. "A stock ex-
change seat sold today for $4,000,
which is exactly half of the high price
paid for one seat in 1909. AS there
are 100 seats on the exchange, this
decrease in the selling price repre-
sents, on paper at least, a drop OF
s52,00O,SO0. Dwindling business in
stocks and bonds is assigned as the
reason for the lower price of seats.

PRESENT STATUS Of THE ]
A. ( N. COLLEGE STRIKE
All the Senior Class and Over Three Hundred
Under-classmen Still at College. Alumni
Association Issues Open Letter

There has (been~ifttle change today
In the strike situation at the A. and
nj. College. The matter has created
genuine sensation throughout the
State, and is widely discussed through
the press and otherwise. Some indi.
yiduals side with the students, while
the press almost unanimously upholds
the faculty. All the members of the
senior class and some three hundred
under classmen are still at the college
and the work of examinations con-
tinues. The Alumni Association com.
mittee has issued an open letter to the
public, as follows:
An Open Letter to the Alumni and
Patrons Of A. and M. College.
College Station, Tex, Feb. 3, 1913.
In order that you may get authentic
and definite information regarding the
present situation at the A. and M.
College, we, the local alumni, after
conference with the senior class and
others. deem it necessary to make the
following statements:
On january 2f there was received
from DR.. J. p. Masterson of Bessmay,
Texas, a letter stating that his nephew
had been hazed by the upper olassmen
of d company. The faculty began an
investigation at once. II was found
that the freshmen of d company were
hazed on the night of December IA by |
upper classmen for refusing to provide |
Christmas tree for them. Seventeen
men pleaded guilty to this charge.
Four were absent from college at the /
time of the investigation, but were
proven guilty of participating in the
hazing. All were dismissed by action
Of the faculty. Two of these men who l
we're away from college, upon declar-
ng that they could prove their in
locence, were reinstated by the presi-
lent pending further investigation.
)ne other man was proven guilty of {
lazing on the night of December Is. s
md was also dismissed On January
3 another case Of hazing was reported
o the faculty by some freshmen who
implicated five upper classmen of a
'ompany |. Upon investigation they t
1ere found guilty and dismissed. On
anuary 81 the sophomore and junior t
lasses submitted petition to the O
aculty, in which they stated that they,
DO, had participated in hazing and
ere equally culpable, requesting that
icy be dealt with similarly or that
leir classmates be reinstated. Under
he rules and regulations of the col "
'ge, it was impossible to take cogni
lnce,of this petition. a
On February l an ultimatum was n
rawn up by the committee of the un- C,
er classes who requested that all fC
lose who could conscientiously do so, IL
Tx their signatures thereto. This
as delivered to the faculty the same W
ly, and is reproduced below as fol

Just as much guilty as any who were

gifts scare;
B. Whereas, our petition to this ef-
feet, signed by practically every men,

classes. was practically disregarded.
8. Whereas, We who are members of
the freshman class do deem 1t exceed
ingly unjust that such action should
have been taken as was shown by
General Order No. n;
Z. Whereas, we who are members
OF the freshman class do deem 1t ex-
ceedingly unjust that any action be
taken in the case OF the painting of
the 1916 on the standpipe, as such
things have occurred in the past and
have never before called up such
action;
8. Whereas, we, the members of the
junior, sophomore and freshman
classes. feel that we have not been
given a square deal in any sense OF
the word;
We make the following demands un-
conditionally:
1. That all the twenty-five men men,
toned in General Order No. n be re-
instated in good standing and given
their daily average as their term
grades.
2. That every man whose grade was

AVE his grade raised to the former
standard.
3. That no action be taken in the
ase of the painting of the 1916 on the
We herewith declare that if these
emands are not acceded to, none of
he undersigned men will attend any
duties from now until such
me as our demands are acceded to.
We demand that action be taken on

England and Germany.
NEED DECLARED TO be GREAT


Commissioner of Patents Thomas
Ewing yesterday took active steps to be-
gin fight for a new Patent ONCE at
the December session Of Congress. The
Commissioner, by virtue Of his ofncial
position, is made a member of the COM
mission already appointed by Congress
to draw plans and make recommended
tons for the erection Of a new building.
He win serve on the board with the
Secretary of the Interior and the Su-
pervising Architect Of the Treasury.
In preparation >for the real campaign
before the Public Buildings Committee
and Congress in general Mr.. Ewing has
written to DR.. Robolski, president Of the
imperial German patent office, and to
W. Temple-Franks, of the British pat
ent office, requesting plans and specii-
cations of the new and modern buildings
which these nations have erected. The
Commissioner is endeavoring to obtain
information concerning what methods
other first-class nations have employed
to bring their patent offices up to date.
Under a joint resolution, passed as the
result of the activities Of former Com
missioner of Patents Edward Bruce
Moore. an appropriation Of 5000 is now
available for the preparation Of plans for
the new Patent ONCE, and the head Of
the Office regards a new structure as one
of the most crying needs of his bureau
at the present time.
Commissioner Ewing said yesterday:
Without adequate quarters to replace
the present building, where the fire dan
ger is ever present and where many por-
tions of it have been found to be dark,
damp, and inSanitary,- We cannot hope
to bring the United States Patent Once
to the highest efficiency, no matter what
other changes in statutes and methods
We may obtain"
Among the patents issued yesterday

Commissioner Ewing. 1t was granted to
