One of the moot tearfui hihJ wonder

known in Wall trm concerned the
looting of the surface railways of New

Uncle Samuel to put It back.
The looting of the surface lines cul

transactions o the men composing
this concern, which practically consti
tuted a traction trust of the chief city
of the country, was to tur n over at a

20 -SpecialToday, -Sept 20, the
State University again opens Its doors

tendance over that- of last year Is an
ticipated. The. total enrollment in all
edpartments of the university for last

Admission to the state university is
based upon the completion of the reg
ular high school course of four years, j
The number of high schools through
out the state has increased so rapidly
of late years, that within the last
three years the enrollment of the uni
versity has been practically doubled.
The Board of Regents found It nec
essary to add four new instructors
to the teaching force besides several
assistants. Dr. C J. C. Bennett, presi
dent of the State Normal School, Fair
mount. West Virginia, was elected to
the chair in Psychology, to take the
place of Prof. Benjamin Hawthorne,
retired on Carnegie pension. Mr. Ar
thur J. Collier, for many years in ac-"
tlve service In the field force of the
U. S. Geological Survey, was elected
to the chair of Geology, which has not
been regularly occupied since the
death of Dr. Thomas Condon, the for
mer head of the department Mr. Geo.
Lusaky, from Concordia College and
professor of German in the Blooming
ton high school of Illinois, was made
assistant in- the department of Ger
man. And Mr. E. J; Kempthorne,
from the University of Wisconsin, was

Trenton, N. J., Sept. 20 Delegates
to the number of 973 met In the Tay-
and frame a platform. Vivian M. Lewis
of Paterson, state commissioner of
banking and insurance, Is prominent
ly mentioned as the probable guber
natorial nominee. Senator Frelinghuy
sen, president of the state senate, who
entered the race some time ago, is in
"bad" because of the opposition of the
automobile owners of the state. He
was the father of the automobile law
bearing his name, passed last year,
which led to the enactment of retalia
tory measures by the states of New
York, Pennsylvania and (Massachu
setts. The automobile clubs of the
state have banded together to , op
pose all connected with the passage
of the New Jersey law, and the plat
form to be adopted today will contain
an automobile plank designed to pla
cate the angered motorists. Among
