Suit Follows His
Dismissal From the
Columbia University

New York, Oct. 10.-Prof. ]. Nc
Keen Cattell brought suit in the Su-
preme Court yesterday against Mich
olas Murray Butler. president and
four other trustees of Columbia Uni
versity for s115.ooo damages.
He had for twenty-six years been
professor of psychology at the uni
versity when he was dismissed for al
legged disloyalty to the government.
His son, owen, ran away and was
captured in New Orleans at<er having
been arrested on a charge of trying
to cvade the draft. The professors
suit is based on his discharge.

time to time in the class room made
remarks that were calculated to breed
a spirit of pacifism if not disloyalty to
the United states.
After an investigation by the COM
mittee Prof Cattell was suspended on
October l, 1917. and although he
made repeated efforts to be reinstated
he was never taken back.
Prof Cattell alleges that he was
never disloyal, and that instead of
the trustees discharging him he
should have been retired on pay as
he had served the university FOR
twenty-five years.
He divides his s115.000 bill into two
narts. One bill is for $4,000 dam
ages for the loss of his employment
at So. 900 a year and his inability to
get another paying position. The
ether item Is for $4,000 for the al
legged loss of his social status.

The cause of this over stoutness is
that our stomachs convert the food
we eat into fat because there is NOT
enough oxygen in the blood to pro-
duce a proper combustion to DESTROY
the excess fatty tissue. Fat peopis
will be pleased to learn of a simple
home method that is wonderfully ef-
ficient in reducing weight, quickly
and easily without a starving diet

a box of Phynola; take five grains
after each meal and at bed time. This
treatment will often give quick re-

nola taken at meal time assists the
stomach in giving you the benefit of
the food you eat; at the same time
dissolves the fatty tissue from any
part of the body where there is excess

Hard Time to Get Government

Now

Many persons now hold Pennsyl-

sion that Government ownership
would take the railroads from a few

to an article in a recent publication
of Leslie's. The article in part reads
as follows:
Nothing could be further from
the facts. The Pennsylvania Rail-
road has recently reached a new high
record in the number of stock
holders. August the aggregate
number was 1925, this being an
increase of more than 5000 in a
year. The average holding is now

years ago.
Many Shareholders
THE railroads of the country have
more than a million shareholders,
the number about equaling the num-
Der of employees, yet the latter un-
der the Plumb bill would take over
properties they do not own.

23 I'm Six Years
There have been no less than
twenty-three commissioners since
the Commission was created in 1918.
The Commission has arranged
with the Pennsylvania and Reading
Railroads for the erection of uni
form crossing signs. A movement
in this direction was launched by
the Commission in 1917, when as
ports it was found that some stand
ard sign would be needed John P.
Dohoney, investigator of accidents,
made a report on the subject which
was used as a basis for action in
the present case. The grade cross
ing elimination movement encoun-
! tered much railroad opposition at
first, but the companies have now
decided to meet the States efforts.
An Allegheny county court decis-
ion to the effect that the Public
Service Commission has no authority
to regulate the water rates of a
municipality when the municipality
owns and operates it's own water
works will be appealed by the Com
mission to the Supreme Court.
Word of this decision which was
handed down in Pittsburgh by Judge
j. F. Carpenter, of the Allegheny
county common pleas, recently
caused considerable discussion at the
offices of the Commission. 1t was
rendered in the case of the Consoli-
dated Ice Company. of Pittsburgh,
against the city of Pittsburgh, in
which the court held that the Com
mission has no Jurisdiction in re-
gard to the rates of a city.

tribulations in arranging the party.

there, and the ice cream, cakes. lolly-

not given them this rate.
