JOHN B. HENLEY IS DEAD
AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS

John B. Henley. a prominent Ma

the Ebbitt Hotel today, following a

The body will be sent to Baltimore

Mr.. Henley was formerly connected
with the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company for many years. and had for
the last eleven years been located at
Dayton. Ohio, as an official Of that
company. He WAS q member Of the
Shriners Of Dayton. and Of the Con-

Although the imperial Russian gov
ernment has long since passed into
oblivion, the stately mansion on 10th
street formerly the czar's embassy
Is stnl technically the property OF
that fallen throne. as far as the land
records of the District are concerned.
The United States has not recog-
niZed the soviet government now In
control of Russia, but since the en-
hassy property has remained in the
name of the imperial government on
the records, the District government
exempts II from taxation.

The United States is a commercial
nation. The percentage of persons
engaged in literary and scientific pur-
suits Is not so great as IN most OF the
European countries. Therefore the
student trained along utilitarian lines
is leaving his more literary FELLOW
far behind in achievements OUTSIDE
the college walls, or at least in the
first achievement of making living.
Colleges, 1t is admitted, are being
forced to consider new courses or the
extension of present courses dealing
with what may be called the COM
mercial side of life.
Help to Choose Career.
President Angel believes that a
great deal can be done by assisting
the student in choosing his course
and estimating his own fitness for dif-
ferent life occupations. Most stu
dents upon entering college have the
vaguest sort OF notion as to what
their future Is to be. and they drift
along without any particular purpose
in mind other than the advantage OF
a higher education"
Educators who have discussed this
subject with the writer naturally re-
sent the overcommercfalizatio of the
colleges. They also resent the notion
that the university shall devote itself
to teaching a man solely along the
lines of becoming a financial success.
Yet they all seem to agree that voca-
tional -and- technical lines must be
stressed TO larger extent than ever
before

the trainmen, through their organ

ton Company for a fiat rate of 10

had notified the men that 1T could not
consider such an increase at this

mand would be made for arbitration.
Pay Increased 1853 Per Cent.

Mr.. Hanna gave also salaries paid
to attorneys, showing an increase of
from $4,000 year in 1914 to $4,000
in 1924 in one case, and from $4,000
to $1,000 in another case.
The salaries paid officers of the
company have increased. on the
whole, from $40,700 in 1914 to $61.s00
in 1928. The salary paid the presi-
dent and general counsel in 1914 was
$17,500. This was reduced in 1916
to $4,000 and remained at $4,000
until 1920, when 1t was increased to
$4,000, the figure today. The vice
ceived $4,000 in 1914, and today re-
ceives $4,000. Another vice president
receives $4,000.
The secretary received $4,000 In
1916 and a treasurer, $4,000. Today, a.
secretary treasurer receives $1,000. and
an assistant secretary, $4,000, and an
assistant treasurer, $4,000. The chief
engineer received S2.700 in 1916, and
today receives $500; the purchasing
agent received s2,400 in 1916, and to-
day, $4,000.

the company owns two automobiles.
which are used by it's officials, and
pays the operating costs.

morrow to continue the hearings, with

JO3-HUNTING COLLEGE
MAN "HUMILIATING"
Presidents of Universities Take
Counsel on Failure to "Cash In,
on Higher Education.
By ROBERT T. SMALL.

Special Dispatch to The Star. :.
NEW YORK, March 6.-College and
university. presidents are not unmind-
full OF the shafts of fierce criticism
which have been hurled at the under
graduates of both sexes recently, but
they are very generally agreed that
what are referred to today as "coI-
legiate" eccentricities are but a pass
ing phase Of youth which will correct
itself
The recent attempt to attribute i'm
morality and unsavory conditions in
the east side dance halls of New York
to the college spirit, turned loose in
a lower stratum of society, almost
broke the camel's back of tolerance
in the universities, but even that has
been allowed to go by without seri-
GUS comment from the university
heads.
A far greater problem than a few
youthful excuses, few smart and
sophisticated college sayings. is en-
gaging the attention of the college
faculties and the older alumni of the
country's institutions of learning.
After Graduation, WHAT
They are endeavoring to find out
what becomes of the college man after
graduation and why. They are won
dering If something is wrong with the
college courses as they have been fol
30 few college men actually apply in
after life the studies to which they
devoted so much time in their college
years
There is in progress today an ex-
change of views between college heads
on this subject and there Is no doubt
that 1t Is attracting the most serious
attention Of the country's higher edu-
Gators.

Of the situation. President Angel Of
Yale has called the attention of his
fellow educators to this subject and
bluntly has said that no one familiar
with the process Of Job hunting by
seniors and young graduates can feel
entire satisfaction with the methods
often employed at present, nor with
certain Of the results achieved.
Must Go Into business.
A Greek letter fraternity recently
made q poll of its members who had
been graduated from twenty-six diff
ferent institutions. Out of 400 names
canvassed 1t was found that twenty
five graduates had become teachers.
twenty-four were lawyers, nineteen
were physicians. eighteen engineers,
nine were editors or publishers, three
were chemists and more than 400
were engaged in business
It was figured on this basis that
only one graduate in four from the
university intends or is permitted in
after life to make use Of the things
he learns In his college years in the
sense that those who follow the pro-
fessions do.
Three -fourths of all the college
graduates, 1t can be estimated, go
into business pursuits, casting aside
their degrees in letters and not en-
ploying in any direct manner the
academic or cultural courses they
followed In school.

Some of the educators apparently
are becoming convinced that 1t must
become the function of the university
not to teach a man alone how he
should itvst but how To make A;ltvang.

One Dead, One Injured
In Accidental Shooting
DAM TENDER AT SEVEN MILE
AND NEIGHBoR VICTIMS OF
AN OLD REVOLVER

Milton Ewing, caretaker at the Sew
east Of Eagle River, and Peter Popich
a neighbor, were brought to town
about noon Friday to receive medical
attention for wounds received by the
accidental discharge of an old revol
ver Ewing who had been shot in the
abdomen was so badly injured that he
was at once taken to the hospital at
Rhinelander where he died that night.
His companion received slight wound
in the arm and was able to return
home that evening. AS near as can be
learned about the circumstances OF
the shooting, it was purely accidental
and happened when the two men
who were working together decided
to try the shooting qualities of an old
foreign make of revolver possessed by
Mr.. Ewing. Being unfamiliar with it's
mechanism, it is the belief that more
than one bullet was discharged, one
striking Popich first in the arm and
the conclusion causing Ewing who
was standing close by to receive one
in the vital part Of his body. Both
men agreed in telling of the shooting
that it was purely accidental as they
were on the best of terms and had
been friends and neighbors for some
ware Tho shooting took Mace in
Oneida county and the officials there
are said to be conducting an investi-
CATION to ascertain whether there is
just cause for arriving at the conclu-
sion that there was any other motive
for the shooting. The deceased man
had been in charge of the dam for a
number of years and leaves a wife
and a seven year old son.

Find Body in Lake

While fishing in a small lake near

sert, Monday, a party of tourist fisher
men discovered the body of man
floating in the water. They at once
notified others and Coroner Denton
and undertaken Gaffney went to get
the body and ascertain the cause of
death if possible. Apparently, the body
had been in the water for three weeks
or more and was in such state of
decomposition that Identification was
impossible. No one from the vicinity
had been mysteriously missing as far
as known so the remains were
brought to Eagle River and inferred
that evening. The next day two Fin
landers came down from. Phelps and
stated that about three weeks ago
one of their countrymen and one of
their party of wood cutters working
near where the body was found
left the camp and never returned so
that it was possible that it was his
body that was found. although the
men who came down from Phelps
were unable to positively identify any
of the clothing on the body and which
was the only thing by which he
might have been recognized.

Villas County Welfare
Assn. Does Good Work
GIVES FINAL REPORT ON SERIES
OF CLINICS THAT WERE HELD
IN Villas COUNTY

The series of Tonsil and Eye Gin
les held in Villas County under the
direction of the County Nurse, was
brought to successful close last Sat
urday. The Clinics extended over a
period of about ten days, and were
held at Phelps, Eagle River, Winches-
ter and Vinegar. In all, ninety-six
tonsil operations were performed, all
of which were entirely successful, and
all patients are reported as doing
well. Twenty-three, eye cases (most-
ly children) were attended to, and
glasses fitted where necessary.
The surgical work was performed
by DR.. Flavia Doty, an Eye-Ear and
Throat specialist from Gary, INDIANA
We consider the County very fortu-
nate in having so efficient a surgeon
to perform this work, and at SO low a
charge. DR.. Doty's entire record in
tonsil operations is without a single
casualty, and the work in this County
is a continuation of that record since
all of the ninety-six cases we're sue
cessful
In each community where the Gin
ic was held, a sufficient number of
people volunteered their services.
The Welfare Association takes this
occasion to thank all those who help
ed in the operating room and hospital
or in any other way
This work would not have been
possible, had it not been for the finan
cial support and cooperation of the
people of Villas County. The people of
this county have never failed to come
forward when c work of iris kind
has been under taken and in this II
stance, all those who contributed can
well feel that the undertaking was
worthy of their support.
Although the work of the people of
the county in connection with this
Clinic is very commendable, we must

have been possible without the aid
of a County Nurse. Few people real
ize the enormity of the responsibility
put upon the County Nurse in this
undertaking, and we may congratu-
late ourselves that Villas County has
the services of so efficient a nurse
for the Public Health work in the
county.
The financing of this Clinic is in
charge of the Villas County Welfare
Association. Following is the report
of receipts and expenditures to date:
