LEAVE OF ARSENIC: WITH PAY FOR COLLEGE PR lFlE:Ss0RS ONE
 YEAR OUT OF SEVEN FAVORED

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-The question of Sabbatic Leave for College Pro- fe. 3ors is of great importance to the college world and one which shouii rank with the questions O. salary pensions and other matters which have to do with the success and prosperity of those to whom we en- trust the education of cur youth, Professor Otis E. Randall, of Brown University, Providence, F. l., told the Association of American Colleges here today.
 Many institutions regard the practice of granting to the officers of institutions leave of absence under generous conditions, not as a privilege earned by faithful service en the part of the instructor" said Prof Randall, Out as an Obligation to the institutions themselves for the sake of their own efficiency ani usefulness. As result of a queE- tionnaire sent out by our committee the president of one of the New England colleges said that he re- garded the granting of sabbatic leave as about as good an investment as the college could make.
 "Others suggested that the col leges would do well to set aside special funds fer the purpose of financing plan of sabbatic leave under generous conditions in the same way as funds are set aside for financing a pension system. One president had gone so far as to sug- gest the wisdom of bringing the matter to the attention of some of our public beneiactors in the hope of securing a foundation upon which "a generous plan of sabbatic leave might be worked out for all the colleges.
 "The majority of the colleges re- port that they are already making some sort of provision for leave of absence.
 ''It is a common opinion that the college for the sake of her intel lectual health should adopt some policy by which it shall be possible fer each member of the faculty of professional rank to leave his post every seventh year for at least ieight months of the twelve that he :may devote himself to study and self improv ements Some claim that the college should, for her own sake, in

JACK HENSON
 IS IGNORED
Presented with Token of Es- teem by Douglas Fire De-
 Deparement-Trip South

In honor of John F. Henson, who left today on the Princess Mary for the States. the members of the Doug las volunteer fire department, Com panies 1 and 2, of which he was fore man. presented him with a beautiful gold watch at their regular meeting last Monday night, as a token of esteem. For IA years MT. Henson has seen continuous service as fore man and for several years previous as secretary of the department.
 MT Henson is going to Port An geles, Wash where his father pre- ceeded him about three months ago and where business proposition awaits him. Should he not accept the proposition he will return North again in a short time.
 Mr Henson has lived in Douglas for more than 20 years and is making his first trip to the outside in F years. For the past several years he has been on the staff of The Elm pire.
 Robert Caughlin was elected tenn porary foreman of Companies l ant ? at Douglas.

insist that he shall net let the oppor- tunity pass.
 "A number of presidents assert that in case a professor is granted leave of absence with q renumera- lion, he is under obligation to Ter turn to his post and to give the col lege the benefits of his outing.
 "The commission has not had time to make comprehensive study of the many phases of the question and it would be presumptuous on our part at this time to make any formal recommendation for the as- sociation to adopt.
 However, upon the basis of such material as we have had to work on we can make a number of in- ferences.
 Apparently the ideal plan is the one which makes 1t possible for each member of the faculty of profes- aional rank to be absent every sev- Cnth year and for the whole year without any reduction in pay. The majority of the colleges will find it impossible to adopt the ideal plan because of limited resources and will be inclined to look with favor upon a plan whilh makes pro- vision for an absence every seventh year for a half year and without re- duction in pay"

SHANGHAI, Jan. l9. - '. C.. Tong, who was one of the first group of Chinese students to seek education in the United States and who in later life became known as the father of American students, ' is, buried in Shanghai in accordance with wishes expressed before his death early in November.
 Forty-five years ago with num- Der of other Chinese youths he cross ed the Pacific in a sailing ship to enter an American school. While crossing the United States the train which carried the Chinese students was attacked by the famous bandit Jesse James and his gang and al the passengers including the Chi nege were stripped of the posses sicns. With a number of other Chi nese students, MT. Tong was re- called from America by the Manchu government which believed tha these Chinese youths were becoming "foreignized.

month because of his foreign ways and it was while he was in prison that he resolved that he would i'll future give all aid in his power to Chinese boys who desired to seek education in America.
 This resolution was faithfully kept, for perhaps not one of the many Chinese who have gone to America since that time but has had assistance in some form from Y. c. TCng.
 To thousands, MT. Tong has long been known as China's greatest base bali fan and when next season comes he will be missed by the Shanghai baseball club to whose members he was not only a familiar figure at .he games, but also at all practice sessions preceding regular seasons. He was 61 at the time of his death which followed a seizure that oc- cured while he was at his desk in the Red Cross hospital, one of the many institutions to which he gave time and financial support.

MANY APPOINTMENTS
Made Chairman OF Roads Commit

And Member 9 Other
Committees.

The announcement of President
Norris of the Maryland Senate of his
committees on Tuesday night indi-
Gates clearly that Senator Orlando
Harrison of Worcester county is 60
ing to be a very busy man during the

of Roads and Highways and also
chairman of the Library committee.
in addition he is a member of tfe
following committees: Agriculture
and Labor, Education, Finance, In
spections, Militia, Printing, Retrench-
mcnt of Expenses of State Govern
ment and Sanitary Conditions of

MAIL DELIVERY MAY
Be DISCONTINUED HERE
Pocomoke May Lose Carrier Ser.
vice If Recommendation OF
Postmaster General Hayes
Becomes Effective.

Pocomoke people will have to walk
TO the postoffice if the recommends
ton of Postmaster General Will II.
Hays becomes effective, for that Off
cal, convinced that the Federal Gov.
cTnment is not getting returns on it's
investment, is endeavoring to have
free delivery service discontinued in
all towns with fewer than 10000 in
habitants. SUCH ruling would mean
ne discontinuance of delivery of mail
in nearly every town on the Eastern
Shore, and mail delivery would re-
cede to the status of many years ago,
Mr.. Hays made his recommenda-
tion on the following grounds: That
the appropriation necessary for this
service has reached million and a
half dollars; that the pay of carriers
has advanced from 5000 to $1,20C,
that this expenditure is not justified
because of the small size of towns
and the conditions effecting postal
work. 1t seems to be his belief that
IN cities of less than 10000, all the
dwellings are congested within few
blocks Of the business section in
which the postoffice is located, and
hat therefore no patron of the office
would have to travel very far to get
his mail.
1t is an assured fact that citizens
tie country over will fight this move
ment with all their power, as it IS
without doubt one of the worst recon,
mendations +he present republican ad.
r.inistration ha. put forth.

LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITIES
WERE DULL THIS WEEK
THIS WAS PARTLY DUE TO GOVERNORS ILLNESS
JOHN M. DENNIS REELECTED STATE
TREASURER ANOTHER TERM

Legislative activities at the State
House at Annapolis this week We're
much below normal, due of course to
the illness of His Excellency, Cover
nor Albert C. Richie. Before the law
makers asser Jled at Annapolis for
the weeks work it was known that
the Governors condition was some
what critical, and this, of course put
q damper on things. Many matters
claimed his attention and the legisla-
tive mill could not be put in proper
motion without his counsel and ad-
vice. 1t was soon learned that he
would not be able. at the best, to be
even consulted until the last of the
week, and probably not before the
first of the coming week. Under the
existing conditions it was thought
best to go as far as possible with the
routine work and then adjourn until
the coming week, when it is expected
that the Governor will be so improved
as to give at least part of his time
to matters of State.
On Tuesday night both houses met
at the stated time and the routine
work was transacted. A number or
bills were presented and had to be
referred in the house to committees
"yet to be appointed" as Speaker
Lee had not been able to fully ar
range his committee assignments.
On the Senate side President Norris
announced his committees and all bills
presented were sent to their proper
committees for investigation.

After the regular session Tuesday
night the democrats caucused for the
purpose of nominating State Treas
urer. Hon. John M. Dennis received
the unanimous vote of those present
and was declared the nominee of the
Democrats for this position. The
republican caucus nominee for this
position was Senator Oliver Metzer-
oft, of Prince Georges county.
The election of Mr.. Dennis was the
main event of the Legislative pro-
gram on Wednesday. 1t was set to
take place at 1 o'clock, and as the
hands on the clock dial pointed to
that hour the balloting begun. The
result of the joint ballot was SO for
Mr.. Dennis and Sc for Mr.. Metzerott,
Committees were then appointed to
notify Governor Richie and Mr.. Den
mis- of his election and both houses ad-
journed to meet again on Tuesday ev-
ening next at 8 o'clock.
Senator Orlando Harrison of this
county Jared we'll in his committee as
having captured the chair
of the Roads and Highways
and the library committees and in ad-
dition landing on eight other good as
signments. The Worcester delegation
on the House of Delegates will not
know their committee assignments
until the meeting of the House on
Tuesday evening next, when Speaker
Lee expects to have his list completed
and give them to the public.

BERLIN WITHDRAWS
FROM SHORE LEAGUE
Six-Club Circuit Decided On Al
Meeting OF Base Ball Moguls
In Salisbury.

The Eastern Shore Baseball League
will make it's debut into the circles Of
Organized Baseball as a six-club cir
cnit, the question being decided at a
meeting of the directors of the league
in Salisbury last Friday.
At the request of President w. B.

tieI'..: L. W. Gunby, Salisbury; T. M.
Purnell, Berlin; DR.. A. S. Williams.
Laurel, Del, and w. T. Sibbet, Cam
bridge, the meeting was held to settle
the question of whether the circuit
should be composed of eight clubs or
one Of the number dropped, making 1t
a si<-club proposition, the situation
having arisen as a result of the with
drawal of Princess Anne several
weeks ago.
II was made known at the meeting
that the Princess Anne club leaving
the fold was final and that they could
not see their way clear to accept the
oye>tures made to them regarding
their decision. The question as to
taxing in Easton or some other town
was then brought up and discussed,
but because of the distance of the
Talbot town, which would materially
reduce the compactncss of the league,
it was agreed to reduce the number to
Six.
The Berlin representative then gra-
cicusly announced that inasmuch rs
his town was the last to be admitted
TO the league, that he thought it prop
or tc offer it's withdrawal, which prop
osition was accepted with reluctance
by the remainder of the directors
The elimination was accompanied with
the proviso that the circuit becoming a
sIx-club affair, and that in the event
it again went back to an eight-cluh
circuit Berlin would be Immediately
taken in as one of the additional
teams.
The Berlin club had made arrange.
ments to start the season, having al
ready signed it's manager in the per.
son of Herbert Armstrong, of Balti-
more, Hopkins coach, and formerly
with the Baltimore Orioles, but last
year pilot of the Snow Hill team. Sen
ator Orlando Harrison, it was known
was supporting to large extent the
club by having given it the old Burley
street grounds, upon which it was
planning to build stands and fencing
The withdrawing of Berlin was
similar to the case of Snow Hill
