'Mr. AL rman began to plead with me- said &e registrar, mot to press the charges &ainst him. oh, MT. Vreeland!' he 8id, Do help me. If this charge is &essed, my business is ruined. I am t thinking of myself but of my father Id mother. Please help me in this &Duble and I will leave town or do hything if only you will not ruin my krents, who have their all in this Esiness.
 MT. Vreeland testified that he told Xe accused he was sorry the charge
 d to be pressed but that the gam ing was not the real occasion for 4e determination of the university in fessing the charge. He told Alder #hn, he said, that the real reason was |e report which, they considered, Hemed well grounded, that students ere in the habit of meeting chorus rls through him, and that he used
 loan them his big car for use in liking these girls out riding nights.
 Registrar Vreeland stated that AL

he did not know whether Alderman was making anything out of the games in which he did not take a personal part. He was asked whether Samuel Alderman drowned on the gaming and requested the boys not to make a gaming house out of his shop. He replied that Alderman had asked the boys not to play so much in his store, but that he had never heard of any of them being thrown out of the store

Among these, he men toned" Captain Nelson Talbot of the 1914 football team; Clement Gile, the famous Yale pitcher of the 1913 base ball team, and several others who have graduated from the university.

one case and there are many others.

POSTMASTER MURPHY GETS
ANOTHER POSTAL BULLETIN
Contains Interesting Historical Sketch
of the United States Mail Service.

Postmaster D. c. Murphy has re-
ceived a bulletin from the headquar-
ters in Washington giving some his
tOriCal facts relative to the postal
service and notable work accomplish
ed by the post Office department
which are of interest to the public
The bulletin follows in part:
The recent meeting of the National
Association of POstma sters in the
Capital City of the Nation, the many
interesting papers that were read and
the general interest shown in the work
calls attention anew to the remark
able activity displayed in every branch
of the postal service since the begin
ming of Postmaster General BurlesOn's
administration. The press of the
country has taken notice of this great
development. which is not only q COM
pliment to the present head of the de-
partment, but would seem to show
that the south can furnish quite as
capable and energetic business men as
the east, from which section nearly
One-half of all our pOStmasters gen
eral have been drawn.
1t IS a noteworthy fact, however it
may be explained, that. excluding the
border states, the south properly
speaking, has had but two men in that
office since the days Of Benjamin
Franklin Joseph Habersham, of Geor-
gia, and Albert Sidney BurlesOn, of
Texas. The more pOpulous states of
the east, with their political power
and material advantages, have had the
greatest number of such appointments
% of the As men who have held that
office having come from that section
The border states have had Is and
the west only 8. It was not until 1856
that the west was at all recognized
In the appointment of such cabinet
officer, when Alexander w. Randall of
Wisconsin, was chosen by President
Johnson. Subsequently that state fur
nfshed three more postmasters gen
eral, viz. Howe, Villas, and Payne. In
1929 the postmaster general became
member of the cabinet by the ac-
ton of President Jackson, his first
liam T Barry, of Kentucky, receiv-
ing that honor.
Pennsylvania and New York Lead
In considering the states of the
Union which have been most fortu-
is found that Pennsylvania and New
1or khave each had 6 to their credit;
Connecticut, Kentucky, Tennessee and
Wisconsin, each; Massa chusetts,
Maryland and Ohio, 8 each. and the
remainder scattered among the IS
states from which all the postmaSters
general have been selected.
The term of service was, it seems,
much longer in the olden days than
at present From 1775 to 185O-75
years-there were only IL men in that
position, Gideon Granger, of Connec-
tlcut having served 10 years and 8
months, and Return J. Meigs, of Ohio,
9 years and 3 months. From 1850 to
1858 years-there have been 81
men in that office.
