Both the younger and the older students resent this Btrongly, the upper classmen because they feel that they aro being punished for exercising what they "consider a time-honored right, and the plcbcs because their liberty Is restricted for no offense of theirs. Dismissals Expected It was rumored at Annapolis today that members of the upper classes would be dismissed for having taken nart in hnzinff.

The second mnn lias been recommended for dismissal, and hlR name-turned over to the Navy Department-for Investiga tion. In the first case,.

E ' ON CI1TSSTREETS Philadelphia's Thoroughfares Give a Shock-Absorber the Time of Its Life WALKING IS MORE RESTFUL Hotv's This for a Bumper Crop? Philadelphia's moit traveled streets show the following nvernge of bumps per mile to the motorist: Walnut street, 300 bumps. Market street, 2Sr jars. Chestnut street, 230 shakes. Fifty-second street, 203 jumps. Broad street, lllo lifts. Dvery one knows tlint motoring has its tips and downs, especially around Philadelphia, but nil the same it may surprise a lot of metropolitan tourists to know that a they ride over the. principal streets of the city they nrc gettlpg nn nvcrage of 250 bumps per mile. When a friend In nit auto sajs "jump in and I'll give yo.u a lift" think things over. He'll glvo you 2.T0 of them every mile. You won't get quite ns tired ns if you walk, but you won't think you're traveling on the wings of the wind, cither. Not around these nnrts. If a man drives eight miles over tho city streets lie gets exactly as many jars to his muscular and nervous sjs tem ns though ho walked one mile, But the resounding wallops that reach the motorist through the shock-nb. sorbcrs and cvcr thing arc about eight times as hard as u football ou the pavement. Maybe the greatest kindness in the long run would be for the pedestrian to wave to his motorist friends and shout "Jump out I'll give you n walk to the office." 10,000 Rumps on Drive A forty-mile tour of five of the most traveled streets of this city yesterday showed that tho cur and Its occupants received 10,000 - bumps. Tho streots covered were Mnrkot, Chestnut, Wal nut, Fifty-second and Broad. Any one can figure out what condition they must be In to yield bumper crop like this. The results were obtained by means of n pedometer worn by the driver of the car which registered all the size able; bumps that happened to be scat tered along the smoothly rolling road way. A pedometer is tho equivalent of an automatic speedometer though the principle of operation differs. The pedometer registers eveay Jar.

PUBLIC WILL PAY GLADLY, ' SAYS TREASURER UPHAM By CLINTON W. GILBERT Staff Correspondent Evenlnx Publlo I.edgr Copurloht, Jilt,bv ruolfo LtAeer Co. Chicago. OcW. 30. The . Republican. National Committee will face, on the day after election, a deficit of about 52,000,000. This enn be stated upon the highest authority. The exact amount of the deficit has not yet been figured up The bills nre not all In. At the time of Treasurer Fred W. Upham's recent statement, published Thursday, the National Com mittee ha spent .$3,442,802. Thnt fig ure will bo Bomewhac increased when ail bills arc paid. And, In addition, the national com-' mlttco made itself responsible for sup plying the Senate and Houso Repub lican committees with funds. These two congressional committees spent be-, tween $700,000 'ana $800,000. Altogether, the national committee will have to raise this year between' $4,000,000 nnd $4,500,000. The best estlmntc of those familiar with its. finances is thnt-it will fall short of the amount needed by about $2,000,000, which deficit will have to bo made urn after election day. r 1 Heaviest Deficit in History This is by far the biggest party' deficit in history. Tho biggest previous one was that of the Democratic part) in 1010, when the Democrats owed on election day $050,000. As already ex plained in this correspondence a fort night ago, when it wns estimated that the Republican deficit would be more thnn Sl.000,000, the failure to collect adequate funds wns due to the $1000 limit upon contributions. Republican collectors combed the country for contributors and failed to raise much more thnn $2,000,000. The ' Republican budget was abqut $3, 200,000. In uddition, the Republican House and Senate committees had to be provided with funds. After election day the $1000 limit will be abandoned. Sums up to $25,000 will probably be accepted in order to make up the huge deficit. "The Renuhlirnn tuirtv in n ! and- going concern," said Treasurer. Upham yesterday. "It will have no difficulty raising the money to meet tho defWtra7rt9--yiH-l)e- especially true If Mr. Harding is elected, as I expect him to be. Many men who gave $1000 were anxious to give more. They will give more to make up the deficit." East Not So Liberal Tills Year Contributions fell short in tho East. Ordinarily the East gives 80 per cent of the money used by both po'itlcal parties in the campaign. The Repub licans planned this year to get a larger share of the money from the rest of the country. Their quotas called for CO per Cent of the funds from the East and 40 per cent from the West. But the East, usually giving in sums larger than $1000, fell down this time. It raised only nbout the same' amount as the West. There were more contributors this year thnn ever before, about 38,000 before the convention nud 50,000 after, but the average contribution under the SI 000 limit was too small. Fifty thou- I sand contributors after the convention is, I ten times the number that contributed to the Republican campaign fund in 1010 in the corresponding period. 'Was the $1000 limit a good thing?" Mr. Upham was asked. "I don't think that a man who, gives $100, as compured with $1000, snyby John D. Rockefeller, is being fairly treated. There should be a limit, but $25,000 would be nbout right. No one can get nu 'underholt' on tho govern ment, as Cox charged, for $25,000, Wheu we are through we'll show just what we have raised and what we have spent and what we spent it for. "Large amounts went back to states. Ohio alone got a couple of hundred thousand. Not a single subscription of more than $1000 came from Ohio ; npt one from the East. Just a few from the West, principally from California nnd Oklahoma, and a few from Illi nois. Not one over $5000. Although thirty -two exceeded the $1000 limit, the average was $2200. You can't buy much of an 'underholt' nor many 'bay onets' with that." Opposes Limit of $1000 "Will the $1000 limit be applied to future campaigns?" "Not if 1 um tho treasurer. The limit is nlj right for the money needed before the convention, but not nfter. I believo in the utmost publicity for tho budget, for subscriptions nnd expenditures. Tho patty should bo required to make fre quent statement during tho campaign. If a rich mnn contributes $20,000 It ought to be told. It will not scatc uny body to death. If we don't do anything behind closed dooiv, in scciet, no one will kick." "What was tho biggest previous defi cit'?" "That of the Democratic party four years ugo, about $050,000." "How was thu amount raised?" "Through ambassadorships." "Will it be raised that way this time?" ' "Not on our Ilfo! The American people will pay it, pay it gladly, pay It from coast to const." , "Will they be limited to $1000 sub-, scriptiou " "Nor If I hnvo my way. It would be ridiculous. It is a business proposition and ought to" be dono in n business-like wnj. If the Cox $15,000,000 charge hiul, been trm, it would have been only fif teen cents per head of the population, That doesn't look liko buying 11 presi dency. You can't buy n state with $15,000,000. And I'd like, to say this: "The presidency never has been bought, never i)l be bought. The state nud the country aro uot for mile."
