 The state universities of United States America do not for the most part require Latin condition of the Bahe Tor of Arts degree But most of the endowed colleges do prob aly because the endowed colleges older than the state colleges and more bound by tradition.
 Among the American colleges deeply attached the Latin Harvard but here in it's stronghold the dead tongue receives q wound that will probably prove mortal.

TALKING RAILROAD PRESIDENTS

J.

Howard Elliott clever speaker and versatile He gave grade instruction to all kinds public bodies But neither pf those gentlemen ever railroad well they talked about running one.
 Mir Pearson is new It is too early to judge Per aps he will be as successful as railroad president doubtedly is in the field of after dinner oratory
 There hope in Mr. Pearsons Bridgeport address It ia Unusually repete with practical suggestions relief and rather free of the baby appeals by which his sought to make the people of New England believe the railroad had been ruined by black magic government instead of by the misdeeds of it's managers.
 The New Haven road is in rotten shape now but iudg nen should be reserved Perhaps Mr. Pearson will make things better. @
 If the Bridgeport Chamber of Commerce and like bodies elsewhere in New England had devoted less to speaking and eating and more to correcting the very revous evils by which the transportation system of New England was all bu sFoyed Mr. Pearson would find it necessary now tc spend two or three hours day explaining.

STATE WITNESS IN ASSAULT CASE DOES NOT APPEAR

Absence of an important witness, without whom Judge Greene said the case ought not to go on, halted the triaA of John Carara of Danbury, ac- cused of assault with intent to .rnur- der, in the Superior Court. today. Judge Greene excused the jury until 11 o'clock Tuesday morning, after cautioning them not to talk about the case Carara is accused of shooting Charles Getoro of Danbury the evening of October 26 last in Danbury, the only excuse he had for the shooting, Recording to the allegations of the state, being that Setoro owed him 15 cents Carara took a shotgun, and while Setoro was stooping down near an automobile he drives for the Hotel Green, placed it at setoro's head aud dred.
 Only slight turn of the head by setoro saved his life, and he was 6everely injured, the shot penetrat- ing the side of his face, knocking out several teeth, and also penetrating the left eye of which he has lost the slsht.
 Cerara alleged that Setoro owed him . small sum of money, and had Iauafed him with having acted as a be4cemalker in fight in which &c., t1fo,s brother was engaged. Follow

 On the witness stand in his own be- half Carara admitted the shooting. said he had planned it for month. and told such a story that it aroused suspicion of insanity upon the part of the states attorney and also in the mind of the judge.

 Many of them have the belief that by making declaration of intention they are removed from the enemy alien class in the event of a declara. ton of war, but that is not true. Despite the declaration they continue as alien subjects as before they de- clared their intentions and will So continue until such time as they ap- pear in the United States court and are declared by Judge Edwin s.
