The little hoy with the ."led may press

Mr. Claus chuckled as he looked over

very bad Christmas, very bad Indeed. Re
ports of weariness and wjnl and hunger

But as liu looked ho found that that
miraculous person Father i Knicker

r.d despite some very sad places In the

of the city had failed to hide, nearly all
were warm and had food with which to

For all day long those who had gavo

Despite the opposition or the Adminis
tration It Is apparent that Congress Is
' determined to authorize Increases In
the navy far beyond the building pro
gramme submitted to Congress at the
beginning of the session by Secretary
Daniels.
The Secretary of tho Navy recom
mended that the building programme
In this year's budget le limited to two
j battleship", six il-stroycrs, eight or more
1 submarines, olio ollor nnd one repulr
! ship.
Congress may adhere to this pro-
Pnunme In the main but Indications are
that It will authorize at hunt twelve
submarines and probably nineteen.

that prnctlcnlly all those who do not re

In other words, the number of men
annually lost to the service will be greatly
lediieed. Ihich reenllstment In tho navy
, saves the Government the cost of nn outfit

In training and lecrultlng. The cost of an

COLLEGE REPORT
FROM COLUMBIA
Trustees' Step May Bring
Change in University Ac
counting System.
C03DI1TTEES TO DEAL
WITH FINANCE TANGLE
It became apparent yesterday that the
troubles between Teachers Coll.ge and
iniumuia university are more uuanciiu
than personal and that the present effoit
to readjust their rGatlons may lead to a
complete oerhaullng of tho university'-,
system of bookkixplng.
Tho college corporations and financial
systems arc entirely Independent, and the
dlitlcultlc.i that have arisen are solely In
referenco to cross accounts.
An Inquiry last spring tended power
fully to show that Columbia University)
cannot tell, from Its present system of ac-i
rntmlu tvhlrli iln.'i rt mprtf r nr. m.iWlni; nnil
which nro losing money. While the unl-
verslty knows where It stands as a whole
businessllko economies and expenditures'
are declared to be Impossible becjUfO the
books don't Fhow where money can prop
erly bo saved or what is properly duo to
the different brunches of the Institution.
This lends slgnlllrance to the announce
ment of Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, presl
dent of Columbia, a few weeks ago that
from now on tho university will refuse nil
gifts for new i nttrprUes and will net
undertake any more lines of woilt until the!
financing of Its present branches If In
more satisfactory shape.
At a meeting last -prlng of the trus
tees of Teachurs College one trustto un
e.iectlly moved that the financial r.l.i
tlont of the college and the university be
looKtul into ny a commiuev. i iiw

To this day some of the tiutees of
Tea.-htrs are asking each other who
started the talk of separating thn college
and the university. It is evident tli.it no

the trustees of Teachers, rersonal feei
l Ing develoiied when It was suggested that
i Teach rs dro lis charter and become u

I This aroused some rebutment among

The question was raised of doing away

posal ninde that c rtaln of them, such as
Miss Grace II. Dodge, who was one of the
lollege's founders and has leii us great
est backer, be put on the Columbia bo.ud.
A meeting of Te ichers ttutees was held
on Thursday, December t", nt Miss

ot the board, lt has been Intimated slue
that a little talk might hae cleared up
misunderstanding, tint there wns almost
no discussion, reter i. uuuy inoveo 111111
a committee be named to meet Columbia's
committee nnd settle the whole matter of
lelatluns In order that these might con
tinue "liaimonlous."
There was something pot teutons to
some of the trustees In so solemn a reso
lution over a little matter of inoniy pny
menti between the two Institutions, The
: resolution was adopted and .Mr. Olney was

! This committee will meet probably on
1 January 4 and will get together with the
Columbia committee soon afteriwud, It
Is now expected.
Dean Russell, asked about the situation,
said that It was an utterly mistaken Idea
that he had nny dispute with Dr. Hutler,
He would say no more,
For Dr, Hutler It Is said that he would
have nothing to say at present and !
ferred Inquirers to Mr. line, secretary of ,
thn Columbia trustees. Mr. line mid ,
warmly: I
"It Is within my personal knowledge
that there Is no personal dispute between
Dr. Hutler and Dean Ruell, Tho sum
mer s'sslon Is one of the questions to be
settled, but It Is not n case of Columbia
keeping nil the gato receipts."
Pressure fur l'eiitrnllntlon,
Frank It. Chambers, vice-chairman of
the Teachers Hoard, said:
"Any personal feeling probably had Its
origin In the suggestion that Teachers
give up Its eh.11 ter and become a dtpart
ment of Columbia. Thero has been no
real talk of a separation, I don't think
any one wants the college to icllnqulsh
Its Identity,"
"That was Dr. Hutlei's suggestion','"
"Of course, ho favors centralization
ut Columbia and is rather inclined to
press that view."
Mr. Macy said:
"The matter Is now In the bauds of a
committee, with Mr. Olney as chairman.
The committee will meet after the boll
days." Clark Williams, treasurer ot Teachers,
said he could not discuss tho situation.
A 1 thin iiirnbull of Post & Flagg, a

"I know of no personal feeling In the
