COLUMBIA GUSTS
 TWO PROFESSORS
Spread Doctrine Tending to En- courage Disloyalty, Is Claim

\ New York, Oct 1.-Two members of Columbia University faculty-Pro- lessor James McKeen Cattell of the department of psychology and Assist ant Professor Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Dana of the department of English and comparative literature, were busted from the university at a meeting of the trustees yesterday af- ternoon upon charges that they had disseminated doctrines tending to en- courage spirit of disloyalty to the government of the United States. Professor Dana declined last night to make any comment. Professor Cat tell had gone to his home in Garrison, N Y., and could not be reached.
 The specific instances upon which the allegation against Professor Cat tell was based were contained in letters written by him last August to members of congress urging them to vote against sending drafted soldiers to Europe. A sentence in each letter stated that the president of the United States and the congress now in session had not been elected to 'send conscripts to Europe"
 Charges against Professor Dana contained statements regarding his activities in connection with the Peoples Council, to which he be- longed. It was pointed out that he had been warned by President Nicho- las Murray Butler of Columbia against forming an organization of that character, which was engaged in weakening the action of the American government in it's prosecution of the war against Germany.

COMMITTEE WILL
 MEET TOMORROW
On Petitions to Ezpel Three From
 the U. s. Senate

Washington, Oct, 2.-Animated by the flood of telegrams and letters that have poured into the Capitol for the last week, the senate committee on privileges and elections today decided to meet Wednesday to consider the widespread demands for the expulsion of Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin, Senator Gronna of North Dakota, and Senator Stone of Missouri on grounds of disloyalty.
 Members of the committee declined to discuss the accusations made or to predict what action the committed would take The committee intends to take up all of the resolutions and petitions on the subject submitted to the Senate and decide whether suf- ficient basis lies to make a report to the Senator advising a vote on expul- sion.
 From the trend of sentiment as ex- pressed in the lobby the senate today appeared averse to any more at the present time looking to the impeach- ment of the three senators. Talk In the lobby had 1t that if the committee failed to report to the senate one of the senators might introduce a resolu- tion upon which a test vote might count.
 The decision of the committee tc consider the protests against the three senators came after Senator Wads-
 worth of New York and Vice President
 Marshall had read into the record without comment g. dozen telegrams and letters, most of them urging tha' the accused senators be expelled fo1 alleged reasonable utterances. 1 Included were printed circular peti. l tions indicating that many such are 1 being circulated and probably vii 1 reach the senate in great numbers.

DR. L. u. Temple and family were

that event the Pasteur treatment will

stationed itself before the door of the
house and manifested such a desire
to attack all moving objects that the
family was forced to enter and leave
the house by a window.

LOCATION IS OF IMPORTANCE
Most Farmers Would Rather Live Six Miles on Hard Road Than Three
 on Muddy One.

From study of $50 farms in John- son county of that state the Missouri experiment station concludes that To- cation Is more important than crop yield as factor in land values. Here are the figures: Seventy-nlne farms within two miles of market averaged in value $7S.S0 per acre; 1S3 farms, two to four miles from market, S70.2O per acre; 126 farms, four to six miles from market. s60.90; 113 farms, six to eight miles from market, S53.20, and 149 farms, over eight miles from mar ket, averaged $55.90 per acre. An un- mentioned but important factor Is con- dition of the road. Were these farms located on hard roads or on dirt roads inclined to he heavy in wet seasons? Most folk would rather live six miles out on permanent hard road than only half as far on muddy road. Let us have more light on this interesting question.-Farmers' Review.

PROHIBITION BENEFITS MILkMAN

A Massachusetts man, Investigating the dairy business in Denver. found that during the first four months under state prohibition there was an increase in milk sales of over $21 900.
 One dairy had n milk route in a dis trict where 47 saloons had been its best customers, and the proprietor ex- pected to take that particular wagon off. But with the closing of the sa- looms came the opening of more lunch counters and milk sales in that district increased about S15 u day.
 There has been little increase in the better residence districts-Park hill, Capitol hill and the wellto-do parts of the North and South sides. where, if people drank. ut feast they could also buy milk. But route around the stockyards has an increased business of s a day: one around the railroad shops an increase of S6 day; one In the district between Curtis and Lari- mer street, an increase of $S day.

Ancient "Blue Laws"

The term "Connecticut Blue Laws" has generally been applied to set of laws passed by the general court of New Haven in 1644. 24 years after the landing of the Pilgrims. The members of the New Haven court were Puritans. That was period of severe penalties, and even Virginia had law, passed in l6l0 providing that "what man or woman Soever shall rob any garden, public or private. being set to weed the same, or wilfully plic,, "p therein any root, herb or flower to spoil and Waste or steal the same, or rob any vineyard or gather up the grapes or steal any ears of corn growing, shall be punished with death."

RAISES STANDARD OF LIVING

Miss Gertrude Vaile, executive sec- retary of the bureau of charity and cor rections, says in the Denver News.
 We have been asked many limos whether prohibition has had, any ef- feet on the work of the city relief office. We feel that it has very great ly helped us. The number of fam flies asking relief from the city office has been about Il hundred d month less than for the corresponding month last year.
 Most of that difference is account ed for in the employment problem. We have had very much less trouble with unemployment this year than last. That may not be due to prohibit tion, but at least, prohibition has not created hard unemployment prob lem, as some people anticipated. We can recall only two cases in which re- lief has been asked because the man had been thrown out of employment by the closing of the saloons.
 Men are using their wages more for their families. Among us all in the office we can think of only two cases since the first of last January in which woman has complained that her husband did not bring home his wages. Last year that was Il frequent and bitter complaint.
 "Grocers tell us, without exception, that they are better able to make their collections, and that people are buy ing more and better quality of food. One grocer commented that 1t was worth a great deal to see the in creased manner of self-respect witt which the women did the buying since they could buy better things.
 ''So we are convinced that how ever much or little actual drunk enness may have had to do with the poverty we meet, at any rate, since the closing of the saloons people are being better fed, and that will go far to reduce some other cause of pow erty.
 They are doing better about meet ing their just obligations, and that will go far toward raising their self respect and their general standard of living"

Good Roads in Michigan.

they have been developing this type of road, although some of the roads have been down more than seven years.
 Every mile of durable roads laid is cutting down the cost of upkeep. Last year the commissioners had 45 miles more roadway to care for than the year before, yet they spent $5,17S less for maintenance. notwithstanding they have supervision over 1,245 miles of other types of road, such as macadam and gravel, outside of incorporated cities and villages.
 It is estimated that % per cen. of the traffic in the county is carried on 20 per cent of the road mileage and that concrete construction should be continued until there are about $50 miles of such roads.

BETTER ROADS IN MICHIGAN
Improvement of Right Kind Making Profit of 125 Per Cent in Wayne
 County-Upkeep Is Less.

Money spent in road improvement of the right kind is making profit of 125 per cent year in Wayne county, Michigan.
 The county spent $2,000,0Q0 on con- struction and maintenance during tho eight years from 1906 to 1914, inclu- sive, and in this period the assessed valuation of property in the county outside of the city of Detroit, in- creased from S62, 707,0 ,000 to $114,54S,, 120, or S2.6 per cent.
 Of this increase 8 per cent, or $22,- 100000, is credited to road improve ment. because the assessed valuation of Detroit increased only AT per cent.
 The increase in county valuation above the rate of increase in the city was eleven times the cost of road work, or 1000 per cent profit in eight years on the total investment in inl- proved roads.
 More than 125 miles of concrete road have been put down by the Wayne county commissioners since the county system was adopted in 1906 and the roads built with the 5000, ,00O bond issue are still in good condition and give every promise of more than Outliving the bonds.
 The commissioners state in their ninth annual report for last year that they never have had to take up and replace a single 25-foot section since
