YALE YEAR IS TOO
SHORT, SAYSSTOKES
Secretary Suggests Add
ton of Extra Week-NeW
DOrmitOrieS Asked.

New Haven, Dec. 8.--Because Yale
students have 1861 days of rest from
the labors of the other 1854, Arson
Phelps Stokes, in his secretary's re-
port, suggests that the university year
be heightened a week, starting earlier,
as is the custom in many other col
leges. lie also recommends a short
optional reading term of two or three
weeks prior to the regular term.
The report of Dean Frederick $.
Jones, of the college, urges the imme-
date need of new building for edu-
cational and dormitory purposes, TO
take care Of at least 800 men. He also
points out that Battell Chapel is too
small for the increased registration.
Fear is expressed of q return to the old
private dormitory system, which was
abolished several years ago. Other rec
concentrations in the reports made pub
lie to-day include the following:
"In the college-The plans formu-
lated for a system of special honors,
whereby students who desire to do
much more than the required amount
of work will be given instruction par
ticularly adapted to their purposes and
be freed from certain of the restric-
tons placed upon their less ambitious
fellows.
an the Scientific School-The plans
for fourth and fifth year courses in
science, in engineering and in business
administration and the conditional
anonymous pledge Of 100000 to the
Sheffield trustees to promote the pur-
pose last named; also the large gift o.
land from Morton F. Plant to the trus-
tees in connection with the work of the
school in surveying.
"In the Art School-The survey by
the new director of the past history
and future possibilities of the depart
ment. as well as the full catalogue of
pictures belonging to the school, which
is now for the first time printed"
Mr.. Stokes, reviewing the calendar
changes in the Yale year. shows that in
1745 the total vacation periods amount
ed TO eight weeks, in 1895 twelve weeks,
in 1870 fifteen weeks and in 1918 sew
enteen weeks and two days The sec
rotary gets his totals Of 1862 rest
days and 1872 work days by counting
Tn all the extra excused work days, in
GLIDING Sundays. allowance Of cuts. etc
Four reasons are given for the striking
change noted. as follows:
"The desire Of all concerned to get
through the spring term early because
Of the heat.
"The desire to give professors time
for uninterrupted study. adequate rest
or trips abroad.
"The opinion that, especially among
undergraduates, the ends Of long terms
are apt to be unsatisfactory from the
standpoint Of scholarship.
"The opportunity which long vaca.
ton gives faculty and students for
self-support"

Patrolmen Dennis Sullivan and John

covered one of the revolvers used by

he was at his stand when Robert Red
field, messenger boy, OF 34o west

said he followed Baff out Of the store,
and as the latter turned the corner
heard two shots and then saw two men
running west toward the river, and
thence two short blocks to a waiting
automobile.

started with such a sudden jerk that
the man was hurled from his feet.

WILLIAMS HECKLED
FOR DARK STREETS
Aldermen Say Removal of
Lights Invites Crime
Mention Baff Case.

Members Of the Board of Aldermen,
most of them of the Tammany per-
suasion, grilled Commissioner Williams
of the Department of Water Supply,
Gas and Electricity for half an hour
yesterday because in the last two
weeks he has been disseminating many
street lights. Il was an invitation TO
crime. they asserted. and they de-
nounced the Board of Estimate for cut
ting down the Commissioners appro-
priation. which he said made his &C
ton necessary.
Alderman Hannah, Of the Washing
ton Market district, where Barnet BAH
was shot down by gunner, said that
thirty or thirty-fve lights had been re-
moved from the district recently. The
night after the lights we're taken out"
he added, -four men were held up at
Bethune and Washington SITS"
at is not economy" said Alderman
Bowling, minority leader in the board,
"to cut out street lights where human
life is al stake. Over in the Tenth
av. end Of my district a man is likely
to BE- blackjacked at any time. | say,
Let US have light"
Commissioner Williams said he
would be glad TO receive any COM
plants in writing II lights had been
taken out where they were necessary
he would investigate the matter and
see whether they ought to be put back.
"Yes!" snorted Bowling. What would
YOU do with the letter! Turn it over TO
an efficiency engineer TO read, | sup
pose"
"Why, in my district" said Alder
man Kenneally, who has Charles F.
Murphy for one of his constituents,
mot only have they cut out many of
the lights, but they have taken away
the policemen on peg posts.
NV constituents are asking whether
the Police Commissioner and the Com
missioner Of Water Supply are stand
ing i'm
It seems that when the question OF
cutting down his appropriation for
lighting was preached 10 him by the
Budget Committee Of the Board OF
Estimate Mr.. Williams thought 1t
would be an excellent way to keep his
budget down for the coming year. To
meet the cut il has been necessary TO
take out some 500 arc and gas lights
throughout the city.
Commissioner Williams explained
tndL ne LuOuEub ny itpAaNiAlb NAt HAN'
ont form of arc lights with nitrogen
burning electric lights he might be able
TO light the streets as well as before
and still keep within his appropriation.
They are much cheaper than the regu-
lar arc light IL was his request
for permission to buy fixtures for these
lights without public letting that
brought him in range Of the'wrath of
the aldermen yesterday. After heck
ling him for some time the board
granted the request.
Alderman Egan then wanted to know
why the lights had been taken out Of
East Side districts where they were
needed, while in Park av. there were
lights about every six yards.
Commissioner Williams explained
that the Park av. lights had been put in
by a former Commissioner.

TUGS BRING in
BATTERED MOMUS
New Captain of Southern
Pacific Boat on Bridge
Three Days.

Every wise wharf rat whose intui-
tive faculties were well trimmed
scrambled down the hawsers OF the
Southern Pacific boat Menus and went
ashore before she cast off for her trip
to New Orleans, and was at Pier AZ,
North River, last night stroking his
whiskers in self-congratulation and
jeering at the foolish rats that re-
NAMED in the hold as the Menus re-
turned TO her berth under the escort OF
three tugs. And il the ships pet was
d black cat no doubt she died from
scarcity of rats-that, too, is very,
very bad omen.
The Momus left New Orleans last
Wednesday under the command OF Cap
tain Maxson, of the Comus. Her own
commander, Captain Boyd. during the
southbound trip had disappeared over
board at 3 o'clock on the morning OF
November 80, when the ship was sew
enty-ive miles northeast of Dry Tortu-
gas.
Night before last Captain Maxson
met so heavy a gale down the Jersey
coast that ne hove to for several hours.
The seas rose so high that their crests
swept the decks. They broke through:
the smoking room and flooded the social
hall; they worked through the cabin
portfolios and ruined the clean laun-
dry of the passengers, of whom there
were ffty-four.
When the Menus again started Tor
New York the difficulty that she had in
making Roadway may be judged from
the fact that a wireless message at lO
o'clock Monday morning reported her
forty miles east Of Sandy Hook. She
did not pass the Hook until nineteen
hours later. =,
Weary with the pounding she had
had, the Menus neared the entrance to
the harbor at o'clock yesterday morn
ing, and the skipper searched for the
light of No. buoy in Ambrose Chan
mel. IL was out, and only the Ill star
of the Menus shone. So il was that
the Romer light was mistaken for 1t
and the keel scraped a shoal. The
rudder went out of commission, and
Captain Maxson believes il touched
bottom, but was not torn from the
pintles.
He sent a wireless call to the Offices
in this city, and tugs we're sent out Tor
relief. The FL Rey and the Ell Amigo
took the disabled ship in tow, while
the John Nicols took hold astern and
acted as rudder. With this assistance
the Momus reached Quarantine at z
o'clock in the afternoon, and docked In
the North River at $3.50 o'clock.
Captain Maxson was tired out, his
face stung with the weather, and his
feet ached from standing when his ship
was at last safe in the harbor. He
had been on his feet continuously for
l>forty-eight hours, and had not left the
bridge for three days. 1t was one OF
the severe tests of modern seafaring,
It was said at the Offices of the
Southern Pacific Railway marine de-
partment that divers would be sent
down to-day TO ascertain just what
damage had been done to the rudder
and her hangings.

BUSY DESPITE WAR
Large Increase in Business
Since Outbreak of Euro

While many manufacturers are
complaining regarding lack of bust
ness and stringency in money, the
officials. at the Arlington Company,

ter of fact it has been necessary to
add more hands to the force working

The company manufactures form
Of celluloid. During the past week
the shipments from the plant have
been exceedingly heavy and the ship
ment of yesterday was reported as
the heaviest ever sent out from the
plant. With large number of or
ders already on hand and the GUS
toners anxious to get their material
even prior to the time specified in
the orders, the company is beginning
to receive orders for holiday goods.
At the New York office of the COM
pany today 1t was admitted that
shipments through the week were
very large and that yesterdays out
put was a record breaker. 1t was
feared short time ago that gen.
eral layoff might take place because
of the war situation, But the COM
pany officials say such a move is
highly improbable. Despite the war
conditions and the general move tow
ard raiding prices, we have not yet
made any advance in price to our
