PRINCETON AFTER
 TICKET SCALPERs

Princeton is determined to break up the practice of 'scalping,'' and if any 'barkers'' get tickets for the Ya1e-Princton game on Novem6 6ee IA at Princeton, it will be a big sur prise to everyone familiar with the system to be worked in distributing pasteboards for the game by the Iii ger officials Other colleges would do well to carry out similar plans for distributing tickets for their games and the same scheme should be worked for the Arny-Navy game.
 Applications are now being received for the Yale-Princton game from the various Tiger clubs, Every ap- plicant must fill out a pledge card in contract form in which he prom ises not to sell, barter or dispose of his tickets, and if they should be found exposed for sale he gives the Princeton officials permission to re- deem the tickets q face value. Then an explanation win be in order ana the probable result will be blacklist ing of the party a1lowing his tickets to get into the hands of sca1pers-

The easy defeat of Gunboat Smith, the much -touted white hope,'' by Samuel 'fTar Baby L.angford over in Boston hast Tuesday night did not sur prise those who watched the Gunner and Battling Levinsky Inaxixe through ten extremely tame rounds several weeks ago. Smith gave evidence that night, allowing the bout was on the level, that he had begun to slide. While Levinsky did not give him much opportunity to demonstrate whether he still packed a t'k.o.'' punch it was evident throughout the contest that the Gunbeat's erstwhile aggressiveness was missing.

neighbors in acknowledgment of their sa lutes.
 MT. Chamberlain was the pioneer in Great Britain of tariff reform. and the great advocate of imperialism. For thirty eight years. with a brief in terregnun, he represented Birnling- ham in parliament. In 1906 his career of stormy activities were ended by stroke of paralysis. The blow fell when he was in the midst of a strenu ous campaign for the establishment of a protective tariff with preference for the British colonies, and just after his constituents had celebrated the thir- tieth anniversary of his first election.
 Pathetic Onloolxer.
 Since that day the strong fighter had been an invalid, a pathetic on- locker at the political game, pie tured always with his loyal wife be- side him. His chief cancellations were the growing political prominence of his son Austen Chamberlain, and the loyalty of his constituents Birming- ham would not depose her leader, al- though he was no longer able to rep resent her upon the floor of the house Of commons. In each election he was returned to his old seat, and appeared afterward in the house but once, where amid respectful silence, he rlade his way to the speakers desk on the arm of his son and took the oath of office. January 5, 1913, MT. Cham berlain wrote to his constituents re- signing his seat. and saying:
 T cannot hope again to do my work in parliament, and I feel that our city and the constituency need the services of younger man.
 Opponent of Gladstone.
 While his greatest claim to fame was his determined and brilliant ad- vocacy for years of a protective pol icy for Great Britain. the citadel of free trade, he will also be remem- bered as the bitterest and most forceful opponent of Gladstone in that statesmans efforts for Home Rule for Ireland; as one of the founders of the Liberal-Unionist party; and as the minister whose policy in South Africa involved his country in the greatest war it had experienced since the Crimean con- hict, but plotted out the two Boer republics and made South Africa "a'l red'' -.as
 From the day he left University college, London, to enter his fathers screw factory at Birmingham, Joseph devoted his best ener- ges to the principles of constructive reform" It was in 1868, just 32 years after his birth in London, that he received his baptism of pubic life, as town councillor of Birming ham, later serving as mayor for successive terms. He gave his whole time to the cause of municipal re- form, and what had been previously one of the worst governed cities in England. became a model for mu- nic1pal reformers
 Entered Parliament in 1876.
 In 1876 he entered parliament, be- ing elected without opposition as a liberal from Birmingham. In his early years in the commons he sat among the home rule liberals with whose he was supposed to sym

Impressing upon the court that he has but one boss. and that is hts mother, and that he just won't have his three or four brothers fighting him and "beating his head off" did not carry much weight with Judge Man gan this morning, for he med Michael Cullinan s5 and costs in court today, but discharged him on an additional count of breach of the peace.
 Officer William Hart was called to Bond street last night by a member of the Cullinan family, who told him that Mike was home raising a rumpus. When the officer arrived his man was sitting on the front steps with his shoes of. Mrs Cullinan told him that she wished he would take her son away for three months, as he had been drunk for a year and was no good. Cullinan told the judge that he was not drunk yesterday as he had worked until 5:3O o'clock and then did not have any money.
 Sleeps in Automobile.
 Ernest Peterson, a Bristol youth, likes to sleep in class when he inn bibes too freely and as result of this failing he was arrested by Dr. George P. Crowley last night when he found him dozing peacefully in the back seat of his automobile. pr. Crowley left his machine in front of Fox's theater last night and when he came out he found Peterson asleep in the tonneau, so he brought him to the police sta tion.
 The accused admitted the charges aoainst him but said he didn't know how it happened. as all he remem- bered was that he met a chun1, had few beers and "got under the westh- err He was fined $3.
 Placed on Probation.
 Probation for two months, in which time he must pay a fine of s5 and costs, was meted out to Rhoderick Mckenzie, of Plainville, who was ar- rested by Officer Massey in Central park last night. The man was laying face down and was unable to look out for himself.

 In less than four years he was cabinet minister, entering Gladstones 8 government in 1880 as president Of the board of trade, and in less than a decade his hold on popular opinion was almost as great as Gladstone's.

cent meeting were the fixing of the
height of a building in Washington for
the Department of the Interior, the Sc
lection of a sculptor to design a 10000
group to represent the United States at
The Hague peace palace, and similar
problems.
One OF the most interesting public i'm
provements planned for washington and
which was approved by the Fine Arts
Commission is the proposed stadium to
be erected in Potomac Park. The design
contemplated provides for the seating Of
so 600 people. and II is aimed TO make the

said, chose him because he felt that he
was the only man in the country who
could fill the place in spite Of the fact
that there was no treasury. Hamilton
devised a scheme OF finances which re-
habilitated the credit of the United
States. Later he fell at weehawken. in
the most famous duel ever fought in this
country, by the hand OF Col. Aaron Burr.
Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson were
contemporaries. The statue Of Jefferson,
the writer Of the Declaration of hide
pendence, is to be created adjacent to the
State Department Building. because. as
Secretary of State, he did much to place
this country on a basis from which the
Monroe Doctrine. could be proclaimed and
because in that capacity he started the
negotiations with France which he saw
come to magnificent fruition when as

summated the Louisiana Purchase.
