to lecture, he was at liberty to do so.
Wild parties resulted in few expulsionS,
for it was agreed that prohibition liquor
provided its own punishment.
There were no eagle-eyed mentors
checking up on manners and morals.
The way of the tranSgressor was hardly
worth mentioning, and wrongdoing lost
much of its fascination. Gone were the
old plots and conspiracies against the
established order, and the elaborate
plans for circumventing discipline fell
into diSuse, since there was no discipline
to circumvent. The private life of the
average collegian was an open book
and little red book, at that.
RUT all play and no work made Jack
a dull boy. He chafed at the lack of

appointment, nostalgia for the good
old days of oppression and interference.
He had fought and won his battles for
student government, free speech, inde-

open-shop athletics, optional class at
tendance and blind chaperons.

He became an intrepid deplorer, an ex-
ponent of underdogmatiSm, an Ajax in
search of the lightning.
Much to his disgust, however, the pub
lie did not take him very seriously. In
Spain and the Latin American coun-
tries students are political force to be
feared and respected. They stage impress
sive riots which frequently upset the gov
ernment; the hand that thumbs the text
book is the hand that rocks the ship of
state
But in the temperate zone, where gov
ernments are less volatile, such extra
curricula activities are viewed with
amused tolerance
Naturally, this is rather diScouraging
for the collegians. And 1t is in an effort
to stimulate their tagging morale that
Binglethorpe University is instituting it's
new course in elementary Illustration
the first Of its kind in America.
The course is to be compulsory, and
it will embody all the principles of old
fashioned education, including ron call,
attendance records, written examinations
and strict attention in class There will
be separate classes for men and women.
Each student will be required to present
an exact resume of the preceding days
lecture. Original thinking will not be
encouraged
BY means of psychological tests the
instructors expect to ascertain the tastes
and predictions of individual students
and assign each student to the task for
which he is least fitted temperamentally.
The dreamy eSthete will be put to work
on obStruSe mathematical problems; the
hard-headed materialiSt will be perched
on the peaks of Parnassus. Those with
a talent for public speaking will never
be called On in class, but the timid souls
who blush and Stammer will be obliged
to make oral recitations daily. Members
OF the foot ball squad will be given extra
heavy assignments, and on the day of the
big game the entire class will be kept
in overtime
Thus the student body will find itself
once more in the old academic harness.
CALLED by restrictions and burdened with
chores. What the effect of the Bingle-
thorpe experiment will be, no one can
predict. But it will, at least, give the
undergraduates something to rebel
against. When a young person an
nounceS def1antly that he intends to live
MS own life, he has a right to expect
something more from his elders than the
complscent reply: Live your own life,
by all means! We're sure no one else

riculum will stem the rising tide
of discomfort among the undergradu-
ates.
Years ago the undergraduates began
shattering tradition and casting off the
shackles of discipline Eventually tradi-
ton shattering itself became a tradition
and you could walk from one end of the
campus to the other without tripping
over a single shackle. Discomfort grew
deSultory. The insurgents rebelled at
random, there being nothing else to rebel
at.
AS long as colleges continued as patri-
arches, there was plenty of provocation
for student revoltS. Government by
graybeardS presented many shining tar
gets for the young idea to shoot at.
Everything was either absolutely COM
pulsory" or strictly forbidden under pain
of expulsion" The elective system was
in its infancy There was no middle
ground on which a student could stroll
around and exercise his option.
In that era of repression the under
graduates-goaded to evaporation by
o'clock curfews, two-hour chapel serv-
ices and oatmeal with SKINNED milk
blew off steam in sham battles among
themselves. They staged tugs-of-war,
fagpole rushes, water fights and cane
breaking, shirt-ripping and hat-Snatch-
ing contests, while the doddering dean
of men peered apprehensively through
his bifocals.
The chief function of the o'clock cur
few was to lend an indeflnable glamour
to everything that happened afterward.
AS it's last stroke reverberated on the
night air subtle change occurred. Hori-
IONS widened, study walls dissolved and
the twin nemeses of duty and deport-
ment shrank to insignificance. The
spirit of adventure stirred. There was
whispering in darkened corridors and
cautious tiptoeing on creaky stairs. Con-
SpSracieS against the powers that be
local. national and even coSmic-were
outlined and rehearsed. Fantastic
schemes for turning the world topsy-
turvy were proposed and seconded. They
were never carried out, of course, but
the fun was in the telling.
And meanwhile DionySuS sat en-
throned pon a beer keg. The foaming
seidel had not yet been Supplanted by
the hip flask. During his four years in
college the average student consumed
enough lager to float Swiss battleship,
but he drank judiciously, and "jitterS"
was an unknown word. Eight good rous-
ing spreeS, one for each semester, was
par for the B. A. course in those days.
But about the beginning of the present
century academic life became infected
with the booster bacillus The older
generation of faculty members-fine, un-
practical old gentlemen who knew their
classics and believed that education was
for the few-were replaced by younger
men who had majored in mob pSychol-
ogy. These younger men combined
scholarship with Salesmanship, and so
effective were their methods that college
enrollments doubled overnight More
students meant more tuition fees with
which to build more buildings to accom-
modate more students. But in order to
attract new prospects it was necessary
to soften the rigors of academic life and
make education easier.
THUS the emancipation of the under
=; graduate began. He was allowed to
use his OWL discretion in minor matters.

OPPOSES SMOOT
Utah Senator's Long Record "Un-

American Federation of Labor, in
statement made public yesterday by that
organization, urged Utah workers to
"vote against the reelection of Senator
Smoot ard to support DR.. Elbert D.
Thomas for election to the United
States Senate"
Green's statement was sent to trade
unionists in Utah. In 1t the labor
leader said Smoot has been in the Sen
ate since 1903, and added:
During all this period he refused to
respond to the appeals made by labor
representatives to support legislation
approved and supported by the Amer
lean Federation of Labor.
His record as United States Senator
is most unfavorable to labor. Twenty
times he voted against legislation sup
ported by labor. He has only 16 fav-
orable votes to his credit"
Green cited Smoot's votes for the
confirmation of John j. Parker to the
Supreme Court, for the sales tax,
against the Clayton act and against
an increase in wages for Federal
workers.

Bringing to an unexpectedly i'm
minent close the Lewis Hart Insur-
ance trial, attorneys this afternoon
were preparing their arguments to
the jury, while Judge Arthur L.
Mundo planned to give the case into
the hands of the IL jurors either
tomorrow night or Saturday morn
ing.
A rapid fire of defense testimony
and little or no rebuttal by the
state brought the case, now in its
fifth week, within sight of the end,
which was fastened by plans to
hold court session after 7:30 to-
night, if necessary.
Following Lewis Hart and Ber-
nard Phillips to the witness stand

testimony was that of character
witnesses. These we're James Win
nard, E. D. Leavitt, John Teckler,
Edmund Sloan, Fred Eisner, j. j.
MacSweeney and John w. Dewey.
E. Wilkerson, an insurance agent
who attended several sales meetings
in Imperial Valley during the sum-
mer of 1890, was on the witness
stand at noon. He repeated his
memory of lectures by Hart, corro-
borating the lecture Hart gave from
the witness stand Tuesday after
noon.
.. H. Wolford, chief criminal
deputy district attorney, was sched-
uled to open arguments to the jury
this afternoon. His talk will be
followed by those of Ernest r. Ut
ley, Jacob Lieberman and Clarence

terday and today brought forth de-
mails of the charges they sold Asso-
ciated Insurance Underwriters, Inc,

sidiary of the holding company,
they said, declaring they informed
prospective stock purchasers to that
effect.

ENTIRE FLEET
MAY REMAIN In
PACIFIC WATERS
Naval Officials Scout Any
Significance Attached
To New Arrangement.
BY JOSEPH III. BAIRD
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April IA. The
entire United States fleet may be
kept in the Pacific indefinitely
Officials of the navy department
said today this course was under
consideration" No orders to effect
it have been issued yet.
Reports were current that the
state department had suggested
that the navy should not return
the scouting fleet to the Atlantic
Officials of the department would
not say what advice Secretary
Stimson might have given i'll
formally to Adm. William V. Pratt
chief of naval operations.
Navy department officials SAID
they could not discuss the matter
Virtually all seaworthy vessels oil
the United States fleet are now
concentrated in the Pacific. They
total 107
The scouting fleet, normally
based in the Atlantic, was sent Il
the west coast about two months
ago, during the height of the Far
Eastern trouble. The dispatch o:
these ships conceded with plant
for naval maneuvers in the Pa
cific and officials contended at the
time that the ship movements had
no connection with the Japanese
Chinese quarrel.
The scheduled fleet maneuver;
are completed. Yet the scouting
fleet remains in the Pacific.
Officials deprecated the idea that
there was anything sensational ir
the present disposition of fighting
ships. Observers found no reason
to believe there was any cause for
immediate alarm, yet authentic
dispatches reaching Washington
point to an ever increasing tension
between Japan and Russia in Man
churia. The Chinese and Japanese
still are at odds.
Speaking informally, American
officials admit that the Far East
is a veritable powder magazine
Hence the disposition to keet
United States naval forces in the
Pacific sufficiently strong to rescue
Americans from danger spots ant
to meet any emergency that may
arise.

PROSECUTION IN
HAWAIIAN CASE
NEARS FINISH
Mother Of Slain Man Ex-

COURTR DOM, HONOLULU,
T. H. April 1.-the mother of d
Hawaiian honor murder" victim
was summoned to old King Kane
hamehas court house to face the
mother Of an outraged girl today
as prosecutors marshaled final evi-
dence against four American de-
PENDANTS.
With a crushing array of facts
already before a melting pot" jury
of whites and browns, Prosecutor
John Kelley resorted to an anti
climactic burst of sentiment in
calling small, neatly dressed Mrs.
Joe Kahahawai, ST., as his last
witness.
Bitter opposition was expected
from Clarence Darrow, patriarchal
defense chief, in contrast to his
past nonchalance as he waved
aside one territorial witness after
another. Almost his while case IS
founded on sentiment" of a sort,
and Darrow has expressed himself
against allowing the Slain youths
mother to appear.
Mrs. KahahaWai, whose husband
has stolidly cheWed gum during the
trial, broke down yesterday when
witnesses told how a fatal bullet
was extracted from her sons body.
The bullet, Kelley charged, was
fired with premeditated anger by
one of the accused four-Mrs.
Granville Roland Fortescue, her
navy officer son-in-laW, Lieut.
Thomas H. Massie, and Seamen
Albert O. Jones and Edward j.
Lord
Avoids Attack
The closing hours of Kelley's
case were spent dealing blows at
every possible defense. He
guardedly avoided any mention of
an attack on young Mrs. Thalia
Fortescue Massie, the lieutenant's
girl-wife, in which Joe Kahahawai
assertedly took part.

strands of purple rope was out

unravel the plan he claims was
preconceived by the defendants to
avenge the attack on Mrs. Massie
One by one prosecutors brought
in witnesses who identified a little
pearl handled revolver found in
Mrs. Fortescue's kitchen after the
shooting last January, along with
bullets matching the one that killed
Kahahawai. Vasca Rosa, hardware
clerk, sold Mrs. Fortescue the gun
and said another and larger
weapon was bought by Jones 10
days before the native met death,
A box Of shells allegedly found
in Jones seabag was produced
with testimony that they were
identical to the lethal bullet
Cornelius Gibbs said piece of
rope found around Kahahawai's
neck, and a similar piece located
in the Fortescue home were OBJ
tainable only at Pearl harbor navy
yard.
