PRINCETON. Oct. s. Are freshman
customs at Princeton doomed? This
question Is agitating the minds not only
of the undergraduates but also OF the
older sons OF Nassau. AS the rough
and efficient hazing OF the nineties Is
now taboo there seems 10 be little hope
OF keeping the $50 new members OF the
university in the paths OF traditional
rectitude unless some new method Is
found to impress upon them the value of
wearing black caps. not walking on the
grass. and stepping lightly out OF the
way of upper classmen, together With
the hundred and one other rules that the
very young" are expected to keep
tucked away in brains packed with cal
culus and Latin.
Owing TO the greatly increased size
OF the freshman classes during the last
three years the problem OF keeping in
tact the princeton spirit" that has been
such an important factor on the gritilron
and elsewhere is becoming very serious
indeed. Princeton has always been fa-
nous for the unity exhibited both on the
campus and in after life. largely result
OF class spirit.
AS this class spirit is the result of
trials and tribulations shared In common
during freshman year, the university has
never seen fit to abolish the milder
forms of hazing. although IL has frowned
upon the rigorous methods which in
volved class rushes. "horsing" and the
like. Undergraduate opinion has al
ways been strongly in favor OF them.
The size of the present freshman class
and the fact that It's members are dis
persed through the town instead OF
rooming on the campus has deprived
them Of the SOLDERING effect of the pres
ence of sophomores and other superiors
In academic prestige. Grave seniors
have been annoyed, gay sophomores In
furiated when they have been light
heartedly pushed or the sidewalks by
! groups OF freshmen. Arms have been
used and a group OF sophomores found
themselves obliged to use the latest ap-
proved football tactics to maintain their
| traditional rights.
1t is felt here, however, that the pres
ent conditions are due rather TO an
abysmal ignorance of the old customs
on the part of the freshmen than to any
movement for their repeal. On one oc-
casion a member of the new class was
seen walking across the grass while
busily studying his list OF the rules. so
absorbed that he did not hear the storm
of advice heaped upon his head.
The only survival OF the old time
rushes is the cane spree, and with the

DEMANDS ARREST
OF HOBOKEN MAYOR
Taxpayer Also Accuses -Four
City Commissioners in.
Fence Contract.
BIDS NOT ADVERTISED
Warrants Are Refused, but the
Men Are Ordered to Ap-
pear in Court. M

Determined to keep Hoboken in the
news columns despite the world series,
anti-administration forces made an ef-
fort yesterday to have Patrick r. Griffin.
Mayor Of that city. arrested and with
him four other City Commissioners.
Joseph p. Mcbride OF 1917 Willow ave-
nue., Hoboken. made the complaint as a
taxpayer, but Judge James W. Mccarthy
In Common Pleas Court failed TO see the
necessity for warrants. He compromised
by requesting the Mayor and the other
Commissioners to appear before him to-
morrow morning.
The complaint has II that contracts
valued in excess Of $500 were let for
city work without advertising for bids.
There is a law compelling such adver-
tisements. and the complaint says that
Mayor the following Commissioners have
been asked to appear In court
Gustav Bach, Director of Revenue and
Finance; James Il. Londrigan, Director
OF Streets and Public improvements;
Bernard n. McFeely, Director of Public
Safety, and Harry L. Schmulling, Dlrec-
tor of Parks and Public Property.
The specific complaint has to do with
the letting Of contract IN February,
1919, to the Pagan Iron Works Com
pany OF Jersey City and Hoboken for
an iron fence around Hudson Square
Park, Hoboken. The complaint is based
upon an allegation of newly discovered
evidence brought out before the Maclay
legislative investigation committee last
summer. The Commissioner of Parks OF
Hoboken testified the contract had been
let without bids because of the pressing
necessity for steps to preserve the lawns
and foliage OF the park from pedestrian
traffic The total cost OF the work was
sS.423, which, according to the COM
plaint. was paid in February. 1920.
All of the above named commissioners
were arrested two years ago on warrants
charging conspiracy to defraud the city
through the padding OF payrolls In the
department OF parks and public prop
erty. Two grand juries failed to return
true bills. Eventually the charges lapsed
under the statute of limitations.

They understand one 80 well" he
says.
Physicians studying longevity are IN
terested In the coming results or the
Census Bureau age report. That three
score and ten years need not necessarily
be taken as the logical age limit on
modern human life represents the newest
medical thought on the subject Length
OF average life Is determined by physical
structure and changes in the composition
of the body rather than by mere length
Of time. physicians explain. BY exami-
nation of the state of tissues and blood
physicians are now able to determine the
age Of any person with a reasonable de-
gree OF accuracy.
Studies still are being made by scien-
lists to explain the reported ages OF
many OF the characters of the Bible,
some Of whom lived for more than 900
years. Enoch. father Of Methuselah, is
reported to have died at the then COM
paratively early age Of 365 years al
though his son reached $50 years. Ac-
cording to some explanations, the an
clients OF these times really lived no
longer than modern men and women. a
different unit OF time being referred to.
The years Of Methuselah, Il Is con-
tended by some scientists, really were
periods OF the moons changes. BY
others the explanation Is advanced that
the life OF tribe or family was re-
ferred to rather than the life OF an in
dividual.
The present age, however, has an ad-
vantage over the nnciont period, It is
pointed out, In that now human life Is
grad ually increasing In length. Just
the reverse was true in the ancient pc
riods. Noah lived more than 900 years
as years were then counted, but his son
Shem died at 600. Shem's son lived only
438 years. Four generations later the
descendants OF Noah were dying at be-
tween 100 and 200 years. Jacob died at
174. while Moses lived to be only 125.
David died at 20 and Solomon at So.

gone to Kansas City to have ming az

United States Government, of which he
Is a ward.
Barnett until recently lived In two
room block house at Henryetta, thirty
miles from Muskogee, wore cheap
clothes, smoked cheap tobacco and
didn't even own a phonograph--which is
an odd way to live for one rated as
worth s5.0o0,00o. While at Henryetta
Barnett was well satisfied In his two
rooms. and let his guardian, attorneys
and agents OF the Indian agency In
Muskogee and Washington worry about
the millions flowing from oil wells on
his property.
His wants were few and the money
went into the banks OF Oklahoma on
deposits made by the Indian agency to
his credit.
When the war was on thousands Of
dollars of 1iis money went into Liberty
bonds and War Savings Stamps. Con-
tributions were made to institutions OF
life, never going more than a few miles
from his cabin.
Then he met Mrs. Anna Laura Lowe
and they were married. kidnapping
is what Barnett's agents called II. Bar
nett was held under restraint until Vic
tor NJ. Locke, Jr., became superintend-
ent OF the Indian agency In Muskogcc.
Locke decided:
"A wealthy Indian has as much right
to spend his money az a wealthy white
man."
Barnett and his wife and her daughter
sought to make dent In the $4,000. 600
pile. Mrs. Barnett said her husband
needed a change. and the Government
consented TO a vacation, in Canada. After
that vacation the Indian was unhappy
for the first time in his life and refused
to go back to the cabin and cheap
clothes.
I'VE are going to let the Indian him
self decide where he wants to live.' Su-
perintendent Locke said. 'If he wants
to live In Muskogee. all right. II he
chooses some other city we have Moth
ing to say in the way of objecting. for
he has the right to make his own deci-
sions.v
II a suitable residence can be found
in Kansas City Il will be purchased by
the Government for It's wealthy ward.
Otherwise, a house will be built.
There's no truth In the report that
we are going TO spend 100000 for a
residence for Jackson Barnett" Locke
said. but We are going to see to II that
he has a house In keeping with his
wealth and one with which no will be
