the students had gone to their
homes their rooms had been
searched and Boston and Cam
bridge street signs and other
such purloined trophies removed.
The editors expressed the view
that this seems to have been
carried out in a decidedly arbi-
trary fashion"
AS the editorial continued it
grew more violent and finally said
that since this action had been
taken without warning there
was little difference between TAX
ing these trophies and stealing
students clothes, especially as the
signs were, in many instances,
the bona fde property of their
poSseSsors."
But the Crimson failed to sup
port a student movement two
days later when some 200 whose
rooms had been looted of the signs

The Sun editorial dealt with
President Enot's proposal to give
an A. B. degree TO students able
70 qualify in three years. rather
than have them wait until their
four-year terms were completed.
Franklin Roosevelt. by the way,
was among the first to get a degree
under the ruling. He kept his
class designation as 1904, however,
and returned for a fourth year at
the school, largely. it is said, to
continue his work with the Grim
son. He was made president Of the
Crimson in his final year.
THE Crimsons attack on the
il Sun started by stating that
the editorial about Harvard was
rather readable, but decidedly
narrow" It then continued:
1T may, however, be some
thing OF a mistake to take too
seriously an editorial of this sort,
and the Suns reputation of caring
more about a readable editorial
than one which IS absolutely cor
rect in regard to its statements
probably accounts for this rather
foolish attack on the university
policy.
The very next month the Book
man magazine said some unkind
things about the Crimson and
Editor Roosevelt and his cohorts
didn't like it one bit. The article
was entitled American Under
graduate Journalism"
1T is in several places abso-
lutely inaccurate" the Crimson
charged editorially, asserting that
the editors had found four mis-
takes in the criticism of their
paper.
At best, for outside papers to
say anything about fair Harvard
seemed like a declaration of war

This the editors termed radical"
and they we're against it.
The plan is not one which
would be advisable to adopt the
editorial oracle asserted.
The agitation had become so
great, however, that President
Eliot published a plan in the
Crimson whereby the property
would be returned to students I'M
der the promise that they would
not again put the signs and such
things on the walls of their
rooms.
This idea met instant approval
from the editors, who seemed glad
to drop the subject. They stated
that it was a pleasure to publish
the Presidents plan and then:

much preferable is this quiet
method of closing the incident to
any of the more or less ridicu-
lous ones suggested"

Today S Science
BY DAVID DIETZ

NXTHEN YOU gaze upon the heavens on clear
w night. YOU a pattern of stars that is
existent pattern that does exist at tbs moment
and which never existed at any previous date This
Is the startling fact pointed out by Colonel John
Mills Cleveland a retired officer of the United
States army engineer corps. and member of the
American Astronomical Society.
At the recent meeting OF the society. Colonel
Mills presented a paper which titled Unreal
ties Of The Visible skies" It is to be printed fun
IN the near future in Popular Astronomy, official
Astronomers. as Colonel Mills points out. have
known for a long time that It takes time for the
light OF the stars TO reach the earth The common
measure OF stellar distances is the light wear. the
distance which a beam Of light travels in year.
II is equal 10 SIX trilon miles
THE nearest star is four and a third light years
l away. Other stars are ten light years away,
100 light wears. 1000. 10000 and even 100000 light
years away.
Now this not only means that the star in each
case IS So many trillions Of miles away. II also
means that the light Of the star has taken certain
number OF years 10 reach US
T. is further known TO astronomers that all stars
are N notion moving II various directions with va
rIOuS rates Of speed.
Now Colonel Mills points out the implications of
these facts II Is that do not see the stars whore
they are today. We see one star where it was ten
years ago. For the particular beam Of light which
reaches our eyes We gaze al the star. actually
left that star ten years ago We see another star
where 10 was 100 years asO, another where It was
1000 years ago and so on.
In other words. the pattern Of the heavens as
ne see u Is a pattern which IS the result Of time as
well as space.
Colonel Mills believes that astronomers must give
this fact attention and take Il into account IN
their studies Of the distribution OF the stars, the
motions Of the galaxy and 50 on.
COLONEL MILLS believes that the time element
~ becomes particularly important when We come 10
the distant spiral nebulse. He believes that
SideratOn OF the time element has important bearing
upon recent theories about an expanding universe.
The distances OF the spiral nebulae are not meas
urabe IN thousands o. light years but IN millions
81 light years. For example the most distant nebula
whose Of motion has been measured I35 900 900
light years away.
The theory OF an expanding universe Is based
the fact shat all spiral nebulae are moving away

with the greatest rates OF speed This has led 10 the
theory. developed chiefly by De Sitter of Holland
and Lemaitre OF Belgium. upon the basis OF the
Einsteir theory that the universe Is expanding ike

John DILLINGER'S old father had property

He had declined an offer of $4,000 from an ex-

USE OF CAR TAXES
BY STATE SCORED
Diverting of Funds Draws
Motor Clubs Ire.

Directing to the tax burden of the
car owner, the Hoosier Motor Club
today asserted that the state was
diverting tax money paid by motor
lists to relieve the taxes of persons
not owning automobiles.
OF the S18,449, 598 collected from
the motorist in special taxes in 1888,
the state diverted 81 ,452,115 to re-
duce the general tax levy, the club
asserted.
The club lists as special taxes to
the state, license fees, certificate of
title, drivers license, transfer fees,
gasoline tax and oil inspection.
The average car owner paid s23 95
in state taxes and consumed 1893
gallons of gasoline last year.

county residents shuddered today as
further tales of dungeon cruelty
leaked from the county poor farm.
With two criminal charges of
cruelty lodged against him, Super
intendent Fred c. Herold refused
reporters and even District Attorney
Edgar H. Negley an opportunity to
talk privately with inmates.
Part of the charges centered
around a dungeon lookup reported
to be maintained at the farm, where
one man, 81, claims he was locked
for two days without food or water.
A half-blind inmate, 81, is said to
have been placed in the lookup be-
cause he insisted he was unable to

Months ago President Roosevelt
said he believed members Of the
Democratic national committee
should not practice before gov
eminent departments, should not
hold public office, and should not
bid on government contracts.
Postmaster General Farley, new
ertheleSs, continues to be national
chairman. He failed to comply
with the Presidents request that
he prepare legislation placing all
poStmasterships on a genuine civil
service basis. Instead, he prepared
an executive order, which the
President signed, altering the basis
of appointing first, second and
third class poStmaSters. Debate
still IS raging as to whether this
made appointments more or less
political.
CECRETARY MORGENTHAU,
~ in addition, has forbidden
employees under him to hold any
other public or political office, or
to own, edit or manage a politi-
cal publication.
Two of the most prominent Of
f1cialS Jared by Mr. Morgenthaus
order are M. A. Julian, treasurer
Of the United States, who still is
a member Of the national commit
tee, and David L. Lawrence, COL
lector of internal revenue at Pitts
burgh and chairman of the DEM
ocratic state committee. Mr..
Lawrence is carrying on Joseph
Guffey's campaign for the United
States senate and may give up
his government job rather than
his political one.
The drive begun by the Presi-
dent six months ago to divorce
the administration from the more
sordid aspects of politics has had
some victories.
Alvin F. Fix resigned as internal
revenue collector at Philadelphia
on the Presidents request and his
assistant and five subordinates
were removed on charges they
had solicited political contribu-
tons from other employees.
Horatio Abbott, Democratic ma
tional committeeman from Mich
igan, resigned as collector at De-
troit when it was charged that
he had been concerned in solicit
ing campaign contributions.
A number Of Democratic ma
tional committeeman who had
been practicing law before gov
eminent departments resigned at
the request of the President,
though not all Of them did so.
The senate made several ges-
lures toward political reform at
the last session, but most of them
seemed hearted and none Of
them were approved by the
house, where party leadership is
strongest.
