ftel the attitude of President Thomas was
. reflection on their self-government or
ganization, and displayed a belief on
'the Jmrt of the faculty that the students
irere not Interested In their work.
A largo meeting of protest was held
ASt nlulit. Among the speakers was Miss
Helen Taft, daughter of the former
President of the United States. The entire
faculty of the college was Invited to tho

Miss Taft, spoke of tho purpose of the

ilmost the entire student body to the
penalization for cuts. Miss Thomas then
poke. She announcod her ontlro con

sbrsptly left tho meeting without wait

'her future action In the matter. It Is
tild a majority of the faculty ngree with
the students, but hesltato to express an

yrhe arbitrary action of President
Thomas came ns a thunder bolt to the
ftrls gathered at tho protest meeting.
They felt suro the president would wait
to hear what they had to say nnd would
lso show n willingness to at least com
promise In tho matter. After the sudden
departure of Doctor Thomas the assemb
lage came to an abrupt ending.

SHIPPING AGENTS
AT THIS PORT FEAR
REPRISAL BY PILOTS
Many of the Men Said to Be
Incompetent, But Absence
of Control Makes Com
plaint Dangerous.
Lack of nny adequate control nnd fear
of reprisals are the reasons given by
shipping men for not wanting to oppose
tho Pennsylvania nnd Delaware rilots"
Association. Ono ngent said that to
arouse tho Ire of the pilots might In
terfere with quick movements and safety
of vessels nnd nslde from a complaint
made to the Commissioners of Naviga
tion, which in the end was unavailing,
shipping Interests wore unprotected.
In explaining the complaint to the Com
missioners of Navigation, the ngent said:
"Wo find pilots delinquent, physlailly or
mentally, and occasionally we-tlnd them
Intoxicated. They are not to be en
trusted with the care of our vessels.
We are at times by the force of cir
cumstances compelled to accept these in
competent men. Then we make a com
plaint to the Commissioners of Naviga
tion, who order an Investigation nnd per
haps they suspend the man. What hap
pens? Tho suspension give the man a
vacation. His pay goes on all tho same.
"Tho Pilots' Association pools it earn
ings, and after tho expenses are sub
tracted they ate divided equally among
the members of the association. A sus
pended member gets his pay and a vaca
tion. That sort of punishment Is moru
of an Incentive for a pilot to bo deiellct
in his duties,, lather than n warning les
son to him. If the Commissioners of
Navigation would some time revoke li
censes, never to be renewed, tho pllpts
might take some cognizance of their
power."
federal supervision of the pilots, somo
shipping men feel, would bo the solution
of the problem which made the United
States naval authorities enter a com
plaint ngnlnst the service on tho Dela
ware Ulvor and Day
The license to pilot vessel at this har
bor Is awarded by the States of Penn
sylvania nnd Delaware. Yet It is nn Im
possible task for any citizen of either
State unless a relative to ime of the
present pilots to secure nn appointment.
The Pilots' Association has tho situa
tion bound up tight.
TOO-MANY BIRTHDAY GIFTS

George Jones Number Two Declares
He Didn't Steal Articles.
If the police do not find a man who
"looks like" George Jone, 20IS Lom

clare George of this address, may have
to go to Jail.
Trom deductions made by the detectives,
Gforge has been suffering from too many
birthdays. On each of these occasions
he wns given a present by the missing
George. Tho donor evidently had a bad
memory, for he insisted upon giving
George, of the Lombard street address,
a blrthdny gift about three or four times
a week. All of these sifts bore a re
markably strong resemblance to goods
stilen from the miscellaneous store of
Samuel Hurke. 1231 South 12th street. And
tliat'B why Oeoige No. 2 was sought and
found by the police.
riurke. who m-IIh everything from car
pet tacks to a piano, declares his store
has been robbed egularly about twice
r week fur the last couple months. Nat
urally, he mentioned the fact to the po
lice, nnd Special Pollcemnn Lyford ar
rested George No. 2 as he was pawn
ing nn accordion.
"I got dat kordlon foh ma blrfday pres
en' from ma kuzln. who looks lak me."
said George Dui the policeman was
skeptical, lie took George to the 12th

identified by litany other pawnbrokers,
who sald ho had awned "birthday pies
ents" at their s'.ops.
"If you Jus' lt me go and bring ma

will be erllminated."
Pending the elimination of compllca
tlona, George No. 2 was held In $ScO ball
for a further hearing by Magistrate Hag

BY MILD WEATHER
Truck Remains Plentiful,

.Philadelphia housewives -have more
tlin'n one, reason for being grateful for
,lhe long-continued warm weather. They
have "riot. only been' 'enabled to realise a
,cuhsldprat'le saving In coal bills, but hare
nleo. found that green goods from tho
truck farms have remained plentiful and
chiiip. Hven the fish market, which
usually pees a uirtikcd soaring of prices
with the arrlvui of cold weather, still
maintains the summer figures, despite n
growing scarcity of sea bass, blue fish
and butter fish.
Meat prices are about as usual, with
the exception of be'ef, which is slightly
higher than Is customary, bringing 30
cents n pound for rib roasta, 35 for sir
loin nnd from 20 to 22 for chuck roasts.
I'gBB continue high, bringing from 35 to
40 rents n dozen but It Is expected that
continued warm weather will see a sub
stantial drop In price. Chicken Is selling
nt 21 cents for broilers and 23 for stew
ing, while turkeys, though Bcarc'e ns yet,
are expected to be plentiful when the
Western markats begin their fall ship
ments. Fruit is plentiful nnd of tgood
quality this yeas and may be bought at
prices which are lower than usual for
October.
tt Is expected that tho arrival of cold
wuather will see a marked Increase In
the retail trade at the Dock- street mar
kets, where the housewife may obtain
supplies .tnd eliminate a. considerable part
of tho profit renllzed by the hucksters and
middlemen of the uptown markets. That

"This modern phrase of 'safety first,'"
he said, "Is wrong. As you remember, It
was I who wrote that 'they who give up
essential liberty to obtain a little tem

forego the temporary advantage of protec

"Tho votor should plow deep while

"I cannot help hearing the comment of
the passing crowd. I know of tho war
abroad, and let me say that there never
was a good war or a bad peace. We may
smile at the peace treaties being negoti
ated In Washington, but methlnks there's
good In them. So far as Europe Is con
cerned, experience keeps a dear school,
hut fools will learn In no other. I hope
that peace will come soon, but In this
world nothing is certain but doath and
taxes."
"And otar future?"
"God helps them thnt help themselves.
Idleness and pride tax with a heavier
hand than kings and congresses. If we
can get rid of the former, we may easily
bear the latter."
"And how would you get rid of Idle
ness?" "Idleness Is nn empty bag- which can
not stand upright. AVork Is the panacea
of most Ills. A man may, if he knows
not how to save as he gets, keep his nose

mas n'hlit pavilion In City Itnll courtynrd
bcllove tho United Statca collier Jason,
which is to carry the gifts to the chil
dren of the fighting nations -will be filled
from stem to stern with the Christmas
cargo alone.
And If contributions continue to flow In
as generously In tho remaining days as
they have In the past, then It will be an
unfortunate orphan, Indeed, who doesn't
receive at least one gift from an Ameri
can sympathizer.
Yesterday wns the biggest day ot all.
From the time the doors opened nt 8 In
the moinlng, until the closing hour at 6,
a constant stream of donors brought In
their offerings.. Persons of alt national
ities crossed the threshold and the pack
ages all bore the same greeting, "Merry
Christmas," "Joyeux Xoet" or "Froellche
Wclhnachsten."
So great has the Interest In the ex
pedition become that many are asking
for nioro time to contribute.
"Extend the dnte a little later than the
2Sth," say they, "and we will promise a
good-sized contribution."
Tho pavilion Is so overstocked with
gifts that it was found necessary to
do the first packing this morning in order
to make room for today's contributions.
Dozens upon dozens of articles are piled
high on tho counters to be taken to the
Curtis Building. Ten dozen pairs of wool
en gloves, 62 dozen pairs of stockings, 3
dozen sweaters, 1 dozen knitted scarfs, 2
dozen pairs of leggings, 11 dozen "night
ies" and Innumerable sets of underwear
are but somo of the things which will be
cnrtotl away to nwalt shipment.
The placing of bowls outside of the two
doors of tho pavilion in the hope of catch
ing chance contributions from passersby
was a happy thought, for yesterday some
generous pedestrian dropped a $20 note
and went away without saying a word
about it. Thus for tho money contribu
tions total $373.31.
