Such a test included: Greek
grammar and composition, four
books Of Xenophon's "Anabasis,"
three books Of "Iliad,' Latin
grammar and composition, seven
books of Caesars "Commentarie
on the Gallo War; six books of
Virgils "Aeneid' and six orations
Of Cicero, ancient history and
geography, with a warning that
candidates would be expected to
name the principal towns and
cities. rivers and capes in Europe
and Asia Minor. both in Latin
and in English and in their
correct topoera phical order.
Then there was test in
English grammar of the most
formidable kind. and examinations
in arithmetic including the metric
system of weights and measures,
in algebra and in plane geom.

 New York Are Alarmed

New York, Sept. 10 (P>-Prohibi- ton law violators in New York ap- parently are in for period Of stern treatment at the hands of visiting federal jurists.
 With $500 fines becoming the rule, rather than the exception, in Brook Iyn federal court where Judge Hal stead l.. Ritter of Colorado is pre- siding, a paddock campaign against speakcasies has been started by Judge Paul r. Mccormick of Cali iornia.
 At the converting of paddock court yesterday after d lapse of several months, Judge Mccormick ordered three Greenwich Village clubs pad locked and directed another speak easy proprietor to post bonds to as sure a compliance with the law in the future.
 Imposition Of $500 fines in liquor cases caused somewhat of a sensa tion as the general practice had been to impose lighter penalties in belief that otherwise juries would refuse to convict.

 Adams Denies Charge
 Secretary of Navy Adams, how ever, declared no improper rela- tions' existed between any of the ad- mirals and Shearer at Geneva.
 While the committee was meeting today there was evidence in other quarters the Shearer case would re- vive interest in legislation to regu- late lobbying.
 SendlOT odFdWdE denl.. Afk., WnO has introduced a bill to require the registration of lobbyists, announced that unless his measure is passed at this session he will demand a sena- torial investigation of lobbying at the regular session opening in Decem- Der.
 Lobbyists have been particularly active during the tariff deliberations of recent months, swarming here in such numbers that hotels have done banner business.
 However, the lobbyists against whom Caraway chiefly aims are those who make a year round busi- ness of lobbying and have establish ed permanent quarters here.
 A glance at the Washington tele- phone directory gives an indication of the situation. Names of organiza- tiOns with offices here take up more than six columns in the directory and many of them, though not all, are lobbyists.
