D. Gold, of the Young Men's Christian Association, from Harbin, Manchuria, where Mr. Gold was stationed during the latter part of the war. Unless the plague can be checked, Mr. Gold as- serts, the granary relied upon for re- lef of millions of famine victims in North China will cut off. ““The situation Is rendered more serfous,” said Mr. Gold today, “by the act that Manchuria is literally crowd- | ed with forelgn exiles. There are not fewer than 600,000 Russians, who fled before the Bolshevik executioners, 250,000 Koreans, and thousands of Chlnese who formerly lived in Siberia, but who have been driven into h(a.n- churia by the Red armies. “Concerted efforts are being made in cities and towns along the Chinese Eastern rallway to combat the plague, hospitals being established, and the victims Isolated. Efforts also are under way to - fight the New source of the disease—the rats that ! carry the germ. Thousands of per- | sons already have died and been given hasty burial. Strict regulations | have been put in effect to prevent affected persons getting beyond Har- | bin, and offictals at Mukden, the next big center to the south, are on the watch for the first appearance of the plague. “If the grain suppy of Manchuria is cut off, the famine vietims in Shangtung, Chihll, Fonan, Shens! and Shansi will be doomed. Man- ohuria representgtives of the Am- erican Red Cross the Chiness RRed Cross and the Y, M. C. A. have in- formed the Peking authorities of the danger and wurged that gram buying and shipments be hastened. AEROPLANES WILL CARRY OILSEEKERS New Fields in Canada Reached Alter 1,800 Mile Trip By Newspaper Enterprise Edmonten, Alberta, April 15.—Some of the folks who are planning to join the stampede into the newly discover- ed oll country that lies on the Arctic Circle In northern Canada have a hazy idea of the hardships such a Journey entalls. The man from New York state, for example, who wired railroad officials here to reserve sleeping car accommo- dations for him to Fort Norman will be disappointed. For the only method by which he can cover the 1800-mile stretch to the oll district centering about Norman will be an arduous journey of weeks by river boat, a longer and more dan- gerous trek of wagon, or by airplane. Afrplanes, for the first time in his- tory, will be used Iin the rush for claims. The Imperial Oll Company has two planes already on the job, and in May will begin the job of conveying men and surveying instruments across the hundreds of miles of wilderness. These will be for company employes only, but several ‘6ther companles are being formed for carrying passengers. The fare will be $1000 for the round trip. Steamer fare is $300. Although navigation on ice-locked rivers and lakes will not open until late in May, the first steamer loads of passengers and freight are now be- ing signed up. Transportation com- panies say they can move 3000 men this season. Deaths and Funerals Mrs. Leah E. Jahm Mrs. Leah E. Jahm, of 40 Main street, died this morning at the ago of 17 years.

J., April 15.—Univer- sity faculties throughout the United States are watching with keen interest | the experiment put in effect at Prince- |ton to have the undergraduates handle the situation with regard to the ‘momls of the student body. The rul- ing marks the beginning of an epoch in student government in Amer- ican universities. The professors of Old Nassau have decided that #me has come when the undergraduate is better able to handle the question of his morals than the discipline committee of the faculty itself. Ac- cordingly they bave placed in the Senior Council the power to recom- mend the punshment of students “for ! acts tending to injure the good name of the moral tone of the university"” without giving reasons or evidence to the faculty, Princeton has an efficient protorial system under the guidance of Henry Bovie, known to Princetonians in song and story as “Hank the Cop.” The duty of the University Proctor has dated from the days before the Am- erican revolution when all Prince- ton students lived in Nassau hall, and, as the old records show, indulged in smuggling roast fowl and beer into their rooms through the medium of the negro slaves residing in “Prince- ton.” But with the introduction of the honor system into university life in the nineties, much of the duty and importance of the Proctor was ab- sorbed by the various undergraduate bodies, chief of which is the honor committee itself. Almost all phases of undergraduate activity come under this system, from cheating in exam- inations to the use of “plants” in the seats of absentees In lecture rooms. The Princeton Senior Council re- cently came to the conclusion that at infrequent interval$ acts occur on the campus that need punishment, and which escape the notice of the Proc- tor, but not of the undergraduates themselves. The mental state of an undergraduate is such that his con- science does not allow him to report his fellows to anyone even remotely connected with the Faculty, but he is willing to report such proceedings to the Senior Council with the proviso that it shall go no farther. It was to deal with this situation that the new ruling at Princeton was passed. The Council, an elective body of seniors, usually including the class officers, the major sport captains and the heads of the important eampus activities, meets every Monday njght in the council chamber of Murray Dodge hall to consider the affairs of the university. In case charges of a serious nature ay brought against any student b his fellows the pro- | cedings are in secret, and the Council sits as a jury on the case. The offender is brought into the room and seated at the heap of the long table and informed of the accusations. He has the right of stating his case and he may bring in witnesses—and while the defendant is at liberty to call upon anyone he desires in his defense, the testimony of the faculty or of the proctors’ force would not be ad- mitted against. Witnesses “for the state” are then questioned, and while their testimony may cause anguish to his friends, they have never been known to refuse it, though the council has no means of forcing students to appear in the | witness box. ‘The whole proceeding is carried on under the honor system, and the word of the deféndant carries more weight than circumstantial evidence. After the testimony is completed, the coun- cil goes into deliberation. Points of , law do not exist, and the purpose is to reach a decision in equity. A three-quarter vote is necessary to conviction, any smaller majority amounting to acquittal. A similar ma- Jority is necessary in fixing the penal- ty. The president of the council then reports to the faculty that his col- leagueas have recommended certain penalties to be inflicted upon the de- | fendant, a recommendation which is accepted without gquestion. A student has the right of appeal to the discipline committee of the fac- l Funeral | yity in which case all the evidence is | open to Americans who want to own presonted.

SIGNS OF SPRING CHEER BRITISHERS Expect Big Influx of \American Tourists London, April 15.—First signs of Spring in England have spurred the transportation companies and the tourist agencies into fever of ex- pectancy and all eyes are turned to- ward America which Europe regards as the haunt of the millionaire. Visitors from the United States are promised much in the way of accom- modations, with conditions approxi- mating those in pre-war days pre- vailing. Hotels and pensions again Iwm have plenty of rooms on com- paratively short notice, and passport ceremonies are shortened. Incoming passengers are still close- ly supervised by British port author- ities, but the examination is much less exhaustive than last season. Then t was necessary for an American citi- un to go to the trouble of getting a passport, even when embarking for, his native land. Such a procedure 1s no longer necessary. N Police restrictions in the British Isles also are relaxed, registration be. a ing required only if a visitor intends | to remain more than 60 days, and railway facilities are greatly improved in schedules and travel accommoda- tions. At this date, no steps have beern taken toward organized welcome for American tourists because it is be- lieved they can be taken care of ade- quately by the regular institutions for this purpose. No detail will be over- looked, however, it is pointed out, to insure comfort for all who touch Brit- ish shores this season. Travelers to Ireland, it is said, will be taken care of as far as it is physl- cally possible under the circum- stances. Tourist agencies are quite frank in | admitting that only the well-to-do are financially able to bear the expense of travel at present when a first class cabin ticket costs approximately $250 ©one way. They say the tourist traffic last year was practically without the large numbers of school teachers and pro- fessional people who came to Europe formerly to spend the summer weeks in travel and study. These folks, they say, cannot pay the prices it is neces- sary to charge to make the tourist business pay, and there are no signs now that travel will be cheaper in the near future. It is also believed possible that many persons will be deterred from visiting Europe this summer because of the unsettled condition of business and of international economic affairs. However, indications are, it is said, that more tourists will want to see Europe in 1921 than can be handled in spite of the high cost of living. In this connection, the advantage Ameri- cans have in view of the favorable ex- change is pointed out. Many ships have been added to the trans-Atlantic service since last sum- mer and it is estimated that the ship companies will be able this summer to earry one-third more passengers than in 1920. CANALZONE PEOPLE WANT CIVIL GOVT. Also Anxious to Have Eliective Sulirage for Citizens Panama. April 15.—Civilian govern= ment of the Canal Zone under the department of commerce or the department of the interior and effective suffrage for civilian Ameri- can citizens residing in the Canal Zone are two of the objects sought by the newly formed “Civilian League of the Canal Zone.” The zone is now a military reservation. “The league has been keeping in touch with proposed legislation by | congress affecting the Canal Zone,” {said H. J. White, president, “and it has discovered that parties not con- { nected with the zone have attempfed | to secure the enactment of bills sfb- | mitted which would not prove '- plicable or beneficial to the zone. A statement issued by the league de- clares that “the military branch of our government is using its influence to have the canal considered primar- ily as a military project” and adds: “The league takes the position that {the business interests of the United | States demand the fullest commercial development of the canal; that, as |far as possible, the same form of | government that exists in the United { States should apply in the Canal Zone; | that the civillan citizens of the Unit- | ea States residing in the zone should | have a voice in the affairs’ of the 1 zone; that the zone should be thrown Panama | property and settle in it, the same as in the District of Columbia: that | the army and navy, while permitted to do any and all gecessary defensive work for the protection of the canal, should be entirely separate and dis- tinct from the government _of the Canal Zone.” | Specific demand is made tha gress grant the right of suffrage civilian Americans residing in zone, authorizing them to elect resident commissioner to represent ' them at Washington, in the same er as the present resident com- g _of the Philippine Island t “con- | to the a | day HOLCOMB PERMITTED | TO SELL SOME NOTES Receiver- of Shelton Bank and Trust Company is Given Authority By Ruling of Judge. | order | Bridgeport, April 15.—An was issued by Judge John P. Kellogg in the superior court today under which Marcus H. Holcomb, receiver for the Shelton Bank and Trust Co. ' may dispose of the notes of the Armstrong Realty Co. among the as- sets to the Naugatuck Valley Cruci- ble Co. The liquidation of these notes is expected to mean that the com- | pany will be in much better shape to meet the demands of creditors and | depositors. Mr. Holcomb appeared in court to explain his application for the order. The Armstrong Realty Co. had notes of $82,000 in the Shelton Bank and Trust Co. secured only by 1,500 shares of the Ultra Realty Co. which is| non-existent. It had been stated that | if the Armstrong company could liquidate the notes the trust company | would be in fairly good shape. E. W. | Kneen, the former treasurer, had de- pended upon payment of the notes to get the institution out of trouble but Receiver Holcomb has not been able to realize anything. The Cruci- ble company, of which Kneen was treasurer, had $5%,000 on deposit. It offers to take the Armstrong notes | for the deposit and agrees to pay to the bank anything additional real- ized on the notes. The received thought that the of- fer would greatly assist him, and the proposition was approved by counsel for several large creditors, Includ- ing counsel for the city of Shelton which was a depositof. The court by issuing the order ap- proves of the recommendation of the receiver. DOG BEGS FOOD TO FEED HER PUPPIES || Minnesota Man Turns Out Mother Dog and Ninc Little Ones— ” She Cares for Them. Clear Lake, Minn., April 15.—When the owner of a dog and nine puppies turned them out without food and re fused to feed them any longer, the mother dog did just what a human mother would have done in similar circumstances. She went from door to door begging food for her little ones. The dog would scratch at the back doors of Clear Lake houses and when opened she would look into the face of tge person who came and then at her half-starved puppies, telling as eloquently as she knew how that they were in need. Her appeal was always heeded and food was provided for the wanderers. But in every instance the mother dog, hungry as she must have been, re- fused to touch any of the .food until her little ohes had had all they want- The case was reported at length to Sam F. Fullerton, executive agent of the Minnesota Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty, who investigated ‘the story and found it true in every particular. Mr. Pullerton compelled the dog’s owner to take her and her puppies back to provide enough food for them. CITY ITEMS All derbies are 33 00 at Roseben's Hat Shop.—advt.
