extended to every visitor, and many q
woman day acknowledge the debt OF
gratitude she owes TO Mr.. and Mrs. Lom-
bard for their interest in the temporal, -
we'll - the spiritual, welfare OF their
young people.
The debt incurred BY building the ves-
Try proved an impetus to great activity.

WILLIAMS ASSAILS
P.S. c. ON 81" REPORT
Inspector Counting Passengers
Was Too Drunk to See Train,
Saws b. r. I. Head.

Commenting on the report of the
transportation engineer Of the Pubic
Service Commission on overcrowdpg
in 81" trains, T. 5. Williams. presl-
dent Of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company. said yesterday:
"Our grievance against Mr.. Johnsons
report is that 1t is not based upon
facts; condemns US for evils for when
the commission itself is responsible
and that the summary Of It IS not JUS
titled BY figures furnished to US.
1--WE have not yet received copy OF
the report, but if the figures are as in
accurate as some that have been
brought to our attention 1t will illus
trate unpleasantly some Of the meth
DDS of the commission.
"For instance, in one case the COM
missions inspectors testified 20 du-
ference of 10 per cent IN trainload
between two stations, where IN the
meanwhile not d single person had got
on or off. Another illustration: The
Public Service Commissions inspector
counting trainloads was found IN sucr
O state of intoXication that our en-
ployes had to show him to the train.
whatever may be said OF our fail
ure to relieve conditions, the funda'
mental fact cannot be ignored that we
have encountered principally OPPOSE

NO SPECIAL FEES
AT COLUMBIA
University Gives Up $4,000 a
Year and Substitutes Flat
Charge of SIS.

All special fees were abolished at
Columbia University by action of the
trustees yesterday at their monthly
meeting. A new scale and new system
Of fixing fees were also announced. The
change, which becomes effective for ell
students on July ], abolishes the old
matriculation, gymnasium, registration
and laboratory fees, and in their place
establishes a blanket university mem
bership fee" of So a term, except for
students in extension teaching, who
will pay the fee but once each year.
The special fees which are TO be
discontinued have amounted 10 more
than $4,000 a year, but the trustees
report because of their number and
variety they have been found in prac-
tice TO be annoying and vexatious to
the students and troublesome TO ad-
minister"
The adoption of a new system Of fix
ing academic fees was also announced,
TO take effect on July l. II is, in the
main, along the lines recommended by
President Butler in his last annual re-
port.
Beginning July all tuition fees eX-
cept in Barnard and the School of Law
in both of which the present system
of fat fee will still prevail-will be
based Oh the point system, which has
worked so well in Columbia College
for the last few years. Where the
tuition fee is increased by reason OF
the new legislation the increase will
only affect students who register in
the university after July !. All stu
dents now in residence Will be per-
mitted to continue their courses of
study on payment of the tuition fees
heretofore prevailing.
John B. Pine was reelected clerk
Of the board for his twenty-ffth con-
secutive year Of service, while George
L. Rives was reelected chairman for

ATHLETES BUSY
AT COLUMBIA
Basketball Team Meets
Fordham Five at Home
Tonight.

After a fortnight's vacation, the Co
lumbia basketball team will resume its
schedule tonight, when 1t meets the
powerful Fordham team on Morning
side Heights. Although the university
has been closed for the holidays. Har-
ry Fisher has had the basketball play
ers practising regularly. The Ford
ham contest is the last of the prelimi-
nary games, inasmuch as the Blue and
White team plays its grst game in the
intercollegiate league series at Dart
mouth on Saturday night.
Indoor practice for the Columbia
track team got under way yesterday,
and the running track In the gymnas-
ium was used for the first time since
the top floor of the building was de-
stroyed by fire. The track has been
relaid. and, according to Bernie Wei
ers, is faster than it was before 1t
was damaged by water.
The Columbia athletes will have no
indoor dual meets this season because
of the new intercollegiate indoor
championships, which will be held in
the city in March. None of the teams
that are to compete in the champion
ships was willing to arrange for an
indoor dual contest this year, although
such games will be held again next
season.
jim Rice called out his crew candi-
dates yesterday, but decided not to pin
them down to hard practice until sitter
the midyear examinations. two weeks
hence. From now until the examlna-
lions the oarsmen will row three times
week, but with the examinations out
of the way the daily grind on the row.

New Series of 22-70 Models
Are Last Word in
Gracefulness and
Simplicity.

Speed guarantees that place its cars
in class almost by themselves are
made by the Mercer Company, of Tren-
ton, on its new line, shown at the Pal
ace for the first time. Although oc-
cupying modest position on the sec
ond floor, the Mercer space has been a
centre Of attraction since the show
opened and is likely to remain so.
The new series are known as the
22-70 models. The line consists Of four
different body styles-a six-passenger
touring car, a sporting model, seating
four passengers, a runabout and a
raceabout. The first two models carry
what are perhaps the most pronounced
streamline bodies shown in America up
70 the present time. They present the
last word in gracefulness and sim
plicity.
Beginning at the round-top radiator,
the hood slopes upward and outward
merging with the cowl. The lines are
then continued IN reversed curves TO
the nicely rounded back. The sweeping
lines again prevail in the full crowned
tenders and the rounded frame sheath
ing. The cars follow out the Mercer
practice of low centre of balance. An
idea Of the height can be gained from
the fact that they measure only about
forty-ive inches from the top OF the
body garnish rail to the ground. Wher
the top is up man of average height
can stand on the curb and look over it
The runabout is a pleasing two-pas
senger car Of exceptionally fine finish
The raceabout is built with full COW
and inclosed sides. It's guaranteed
speed is one mile in as seconds. WOOD
wheels with demountable rims are
regular equipment on the touring ant

NOTES OF THE TRADE.

Robert b. Esselstyn. former vice
president of the J. f. ManiX Company,
of 1870 Broadway, has severed his con-
nections with this concern, and has
affiliated himself with the K. ii. White
Company, of Boston, where he is TO
succeed Maurice A. Mcbride as buyer
and manager of the ready-to-wear de-
partment. Mr.. Mcbride will be mer-
chandise manager. Mr.. Esselstyn has
long been an important factor in the
local market and is considered TO be
one of the cleverest men in the buying
of ready-to-wear to-day. With Nj.
Mcbride as merchandise manager and
Mr.. Esselstyn as buyer and manager
of the cloaks. suits, skirts and dresses
department, the r. II. White Company
will have the greatest buying combina-
tion in the world in their ready-to-
wear department. Mr. Esselstyn Will
be succeeded by r. C. Fowler at the
j. +. Manix Company.
Crepe de chine hand embroidered
Chinese mandarin coats will be worn
very extensively for seashore and
evening wear, and will take the place
of the evening cape. The mandarin
coat is similar to the kimono, mas
much as it is loose fitting. and is made
about eight inches shorter. dany
buyers have taken TO this garment IN
the past 70 take the place of the XII
mono in the higher priced lines.
A novelty being shown for the
spring trade is an ankle garter in silk,
tied in a bow with flowing streamers.
Owing to the new style OF short skirts
this novelty will enjoy good season
1t can only be worn on the ankle when
low cut shoes or pumps are in season

Chinese Government Provides Isolation
 Hospital At Pekin

Picking, June 25.-The Ministry of the Interior has chosen a large build ing situated in the Shih Tiao Hutung section of this city to be converted into q EoVernment isolation hospital In a memorandum submitted to the President the Ministry estimated that the yearly expenditure of the hos pita1 would be approximately $2o,- 900, and the initial expense at least
 $1o,O0o- The latter will be drawn from the municipal funds while the una2ntenanoe expense will be borne by the government out of the admin 1stra&1ve budget

SEEK TO MOBILIZE
 ENGLISH PHYSICIANS

London June 25-A 'Aurobi11zation'' of all the doctors In England is being talked of here The dearth of quail fed physicians and surgeons owing to the large numbers taken for war work has reached such a stage that officers of the Medical Council believe that some sort of an organization of the profession on a war footing win be necessary, especially as the public health Is at the present moment a matter of special 1mporance.
 The question of rearranging the work of the doctors to meet both the
 military and civil demands is admit tedfy difficult one. Neither doctors nor patients are likely to be pleased with any possible method of dividing up private medical work along what
 might perhaps be called tfefhciency'' lines
 Many physicians, especially in the crowded parts of the cities, are al ready as busy as they can be, and probably in these cases no readjust- ! nent would be advisable, but there are large numbers of practitioners in the suburban and country districts who could be advantageous1y placed l in sections where special need is felt If this involves heavy loss to them, it 1 may be possible to arrange for gov ernment compensation

CONVICTED COWARD
 TURNS OUT A HERO

I4ondon, June a25@The story of A convicted coward who turned hero during the fighting around Ypres is told by Professor J. H. Morgan, who spent five months at British Head quarters and whose f2yestigatiOnS were summed up in the Bryce report on German atrocities He has just re- turned to London. He says:'
 There was a sergeant who had lost his nerve and had been sentenced by court-martial to five years penal ser vitude for cowardice- Before the sentence could be carried out the Prussian Guard made their famous at tempt to break through our lines, and the sergeant, in the fighting which en- sued, fought with such bravery that but for being nomina1Iy under arrest at the time, he would have been awarded the Victoria. Cross. At it was, his sentenoe.Was Quashed, and the in cident was responsible for the passage of a new act of parliament, by which g. sentence on soldier may be sus- pended and the man given an oppor- tunfty of redeeming his character"

YOUNG MEN AT BATTLE FRONT
 GOING INSANE

London, June 25-The inadvisabil 1ty of sending very young men to the fighting front is emphasized in re- port by Dr. Murray Leslie on the treatment of gases of mental shock resulting from war service. Nearly all the, cases of fighting affecting the mind have been in men of 21 or 22 or younger, declares Dr. Leslie, who suggests that this may be the reason for the recent German order that no more volunteers under 21 will be ac- cepted for the army.
 Dr. Leslie divides cases of battle shock into two classes those who hvae been constantly subjected to shell ex- plosion and have no actual injury, and those suffering from neurasthenia. Tn first kind of case is characterized by a curious stupor: frequently patti ents are oblfvious of all their sur roundingB. The neurasthenia cases require prolonged treatment, and it is regarded as a great mistake to send them back too soon.
 The writer points out the possibiI- 1ty, as the war progresses. that these cases of War-shock will become ire quent also among the population at home. f'The censors know what they are doing when they suppress the gruesome details and pictures of Zeppelin raids. Such action Is most important to keep up the morals of the nation, and is perfectly right from a medical point of view. Optimism is of the greatest value to the nation as well as the individual. The feeling that all is going we'll is a great mental tonic"

 PROF. DUESING ASSERTS

Prof Guessing claims the Teutonio allies captured 194,oOo prisoners, 128 cannon and 36S machine guns. Im- mediate1y afterwards the Professor says was begun what is officially known as t"The Battle Near PremsyP' In this battle he claims the Germans took 25, 000 prisoners 40 cannon and 40 machine guns.
 Prof. Duesing says that the story printed in the New York Herald that the veterans of the France-Prusslan war have been called to the colors Is with out foundation He believes this story may have started from the fact that members of the Landstrum born in the years from 1869 to 1874 have been asked to register. All will have to undergo medical examination and la- ter those who are fit for service may be called to training.
 Prof Duesing concludes his letter as follows:

Much has been melted l mp which was of little value intrinsic Ia1ly but which had high artistic value a-oftent1n1ess unknown to the donor. 1faAy things have been sacrificed thaa might have graced museums and co1- Elections.
 Expert jewellers and artists, there fore, have agreed to give their ser vices now in appraising all donations Such as are selected as of particular value from the artistic point Of view will not be melted but will be offered to museums or collectors at prices cor responding to their appraised values
