Been Reached.

The annual report Of Chancellor Elmer
e. Brown and Treasurer william NJ.
Kingsley to the New York University
Council. which meets this afternoon. con-
tains the statement Of Chancellor Brown
that the university being In a Critical
stage Of growth" unless new buildings
and appliances are provided we cannot
at any one OF our university centres
maintain our present standard OF in
struction.' DR.. Brown points out that
the institutions limit Of capacity Is not
only reached, but exceeded. and suggests
an arbitrary limit 20 the registration Of
students as q remedy.
The tfeasurer's report shows that al
though the annual income from students
fees last year passed the half million
mark. there was a deficit Of nearly
10000 for the year. The registration
this year II nearly double that OF hve
years ago. but the equipment and en-
dowment-$1, 500. OO0-have not increased
In proportion. The report states h a
the income from students fees for the
year ended last June vas $510.0++.%t.
Chancellor Brown makes an urgent
plea for new equipment and accommoda-
tons. but tho greatest financial need OF
the university. he says. IL increased en-
dowment. DIR. Brown makes these spe-
c,hc requests for endowments: 81
900. 900 for the medical college TO wipe
out an annual deficit Of $4,000 $780,
900 to establish a department OF inter-
national affairs. and $500, 900 for q
government department.

TAKE POSTMASTERS
FROM RANKS, is PLAN
Bill Drafted to Put Them in
Civil Service. Out of Hands
of Politicians.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 27-The extension
Of civil service to postmasters OF the
first, second and third classes. who are
now appointed BY the President, IL pro.
poped in a bill which will b introduced
in the House tomorrow by Representa-
tive Tinkham. a Republican from Massa-
chuse:ts.
His bill provides that the Postma ster-
General, by direction OF h President,
revise existing classihcations to bring
first. second and third class postmasters
In the classified service. This would re.
lieve the President of responsibility In
selecting n postmaster for 40 important
a city as New York, where there Ia now
a vacancy.
AT present. said Mr.. Tinkham con-
corning his bill, "the post Office is the
biggest business ms .itution owned by
the people. It is In the hands Of poll
~,icians. and the appointments of post
masters are always made at the request
OF n political boss OF state. county or
town.
"The expert postal employees trained
IN the business never get a chance to
advance beyond clerical grades. That
IL wrong. and I believe that by making
postmasters AXE competitive examina-
tons for civil service qualifications the
evil may be cured"

ALBANY. Feb. ~. - Assemblyman
Clarence r. Welsh OF Albany. who has
a bill In the state Legislature providing

military training commission TO consist
Of the Major Genera commanding the
National Guard. the state Commissioner
OF Education and the state Commits
sioner of Health. who would prescribe a
combination course Of physical and mill
tary training In the schools.
The bill carries out ideas OF Major
Gen. O'Ryan and Gov. Whitman de-
veloped at a conference last week with
Commissioner OF Education Finley and
other prominent persons.
The Board OF Regents has gone on
record as opposing n definite legisla-
ton for military training at this time and
recommends instead the appointment OF a
board 10 investigate the subject. Mr..
Welsh Is unalterably opposed to this, he
declared tonight. and at the same time
pointed out that the objection Of DR..
Finley 10 military training in the schools
has become ridiculous" tnasmuch as
his own son is attending a private school
In Albany and taking military !nstruc-
ton there.
Mr.. Welsh's fet bill provided for "A

military training in high schools TO be
prescribed by the Commissioner OF Edu.

TEAM IN A WILD DASH;
WAGON DEMOLISHED

Two horses made a wild dash on
Sixteenth street, between Nineteenth
and Twenty-first avenue, Moline, yes
terday afternoon. the runaway result
ing in the demolition of a wagon, the
property of John A Mueller company,
and a city fire box. That the driver,
Rex Allen, escaped without injury was
something of miracle to those who
witnessed the teams unchecked run
down the thoroughfare.
Allen was driving the animals north
on Sixteenth street from Twentyfrst
avenue. They were drawing a wagon
containing liquor goods. The horses
became frightened and started to run
wildly. Efforts of the driver to stop
them proved useless. The wagon
swung from side to side Bottled
goods was scattered in every direc-
ton. The wagon finally hit a pole in
front of the Popping bakery on Nine
teenth avenue. So suddenly were the
horses stopped that they were thrown
10 the pavement One Of the animals
was injured, but not seriously. The
wagon was totally wrecked and its
contents suffered a like fate. Allen
jumped a fraction of a minute before
the crash, thus saving himself from
/ injury.

The Modern Woodmen of America
by announcing the issue of 1901 new
benefit certificates for the month of
March. While not equaling the top
notch record for that month, it comes
close enough to be on easy speaking
terms and the enthusiasm and good
will of the membership are counted on
to close up the gap before very long
and hang up another new target for
fraternal marksmen to shoot at In
March of 1910-just six years ago
the Modern Woodmen issued 20,27S
new certificates. 1t is believed that
this total for single month has not
been equaled by any other fraternal
benefit society either before or since,
but if that record is to be excelled,
the society which originally estab-
lished it is determined that its laurels
shall not be wrested from it. Should
any new records be made, 1t proposes
to have a hand in the making, and
from present indications it's chances
are good.
Since the first of the year the Mod
ern Woodmen of America has issued
37,132 certificates, January producing
1854, February 1857, and March 49,

head and shoulders above the record

four years, as the following figures
