and 1s6 women, a total Of ass, loss
OF 3, as compared with the registra-
ton at this time last year. The num-
ber OF men shows a loss OF II, the
number Of men a gain OF s.
"The loss in the number OF men is
accounted for by the facts apparent
ly: The unusual size of the gradu-
ating class of last June, and the
economic depression throughout the
State. That the latter has been a
significant factor is indicated by the
number OF applications received, be-
for the session opened, for work
or other form OF financial assistance.
These applications were nearly twice
as many in number as in previous
years.
THE gain OF at the Women's
College was small as compared with
the gain OF as last year over the
previous year, but was sufficient to
fiji the quarters at present available
for women approximately to their
capacity. The gain in women as
compared with the loss in men is
probably to be explained upon
economic grounds. Those most inn
mediately available as bread winners
had to stay at home"

NEED LIGHT TO
END ROWDYISM

That the lack OF illumination
about School No. 29 makes it
rendezvous for rowdies at night was
told members of the Board Of Edu-
tation. at their meeting last even
ing, in a letter from Isaac Gibbs,

MURDER CASE NOW IN TUFTS HEARING
Charges Against MiddleSex Prose.
 cutor Becoming Complex

Boston, July 14.-Incidents sur rounding the surrender of Herman L. Barney, an escaped murderer whose return to prison by Dist Attorney Nathan A. Tufts of Middlesex county has been made the basis of one of the charges on which Tufts removal is sought in supreme court proceed ings were described today by Stephen c. Bresnahan, lawyer.
 Bresnahan who testified yesterday that Barney visited his house in North Cambridge at midnight on May 3I 1920, the day after Barney and two others escaped from the state prison said that he met Barney a month later in Northampton at the home of Joseph Meisse. The witness said he went there with Edward O'Halloran, a Newton police inspector Three days later while stopping at a hotel in Greenfield he was aroused about 2 a. m. and found Dist. Attorney Tufts and O'Halloran downstairs
 The three drove to the railroad sta tlon In Northampton where Tufts talked with Earl. o. Barney, Herman's stepfather urging the elder Barney to lnduce his son to surrender. '
 You knew MT. Tufts was a c,nd;-
 
 Gen. Henry F. Hurlbut demanded of the witness.
 Bresnahan replied that he kneu
 You saw announcement in the nanec that he was?" 'p =,
 T saw an announcement in the paper that he was not"
 Bresnahan said h. had oo,,;aa Tufts that they could induca p.,.o, to surrender and O'Halloran sue. sested that they talk with him Rres- nahan declined to tell where Rarnex was staying at any time he said "I told them it was none of tbeir hus. mess and if they wouldn't let me handle 1t our way I'd wash my hands Of the whole thing.'
 Up to that time the witness said no information so far as he knew had been given to any police office in Northampton or to the district at torney of that district as to Rarnev,s whereabouts.
 Barney would not agree to sur- render unless he could see his moth- er' Bresnahan said. After two or three days the witness took the elder Barney and his wife to Northampton Asked If he saw Tufts at any time ne said he thought he saw him on the road behind him. They stopped by the roadside in Northampton and MT. and Mrs. Barney saw Herman. Later the mother and father, O'Hal- loran, Tufts and the witness held a conference at the railroad station.
 While Tufts waited at the station Bresnahan said he with Mr. and Mrs. Barney drove to the home of Joseph Me1sse and saw Barney. The fugi- tive agreed to surrender in three days and Bresnahan so reported to Tufts. The surrender was to take place on the road from North afnpton to Brat tleboro, Vt.

PREMIER BRAND MAY
 CROSS THE ATLANTIC
French Sentiment Said to Favor Official Presence at Conference
 for Disarmament.

Paris July IA (By Associated circles in general look with favor upon the suggestion that Pemier Brand go to Washington personally to represent France at the conference, but since l. appears that the conference is not likely to be held before November it has been pointed out that the par lament will be then in session thus raising complications over the ques- ton of the premier's personal at tendance.
 The parliamentary regime, as is we'll known requires the responsible head of the government to be ready at all times to appear before the par liament to set forth the governments views on important questions and tc be ready to reply to interpellations.
 Premier Briand was able to go te London during the parliamentary session because he could be back CT short notice if his presence was neces- sitated by developments in the parlia- mentary debates. The. trip to Wash ington, however, it is pointed out presents a far more serious problem
 In parliamentary circles it is note, that the chamber of deputies after thu summer recess, will have to take III the grave problem of French finances including budget questions of sucl importance that the presence of th responsible head of the governmen would seem to be required
 No opposition to Premier Briand'! going to Washington, however, ha. materialized thus far, but it is re. garded in political circles as quite likely that the strong minority ir the chamber opposed to the govern r1ent will raise objection if the sug- gestion becomes official.

JAPAN ACCEPTS
 HARDlNG'S TERMS
(Continued from First Page.)

Tokio which is understood not to have supplanted it with any explanation Unofficial dispatches from Tokio and from London have created the impres- sion that Japan would be willing to join in a frank discussion of the Far Eastern questions, although other in formal dispatches have indicated that the Tokio government must move with caution on account of the political factions and schools of thought in Japan.
 Previously both Great Britain and France had signif1ed, formally, their willingness to accept such an invita- tion from President Harding and while definite action had not been re- ported in Italy, it was unofficially said that the idea found favor. {.
