Thwing, president of the Western Reserve University, delivered an address before the na tional peace congress at Baltimore, in which ho said: "The value of the grounds of 500 colleges and universities in this country was estimated at $67,000, 000, of the buildings $219,000,000 and the productive funds $260,000, 000. The cost of 38 battleships which he named, was $236,551,438. The cost of maintainlm? fhnso i. Ing 1910 was in excess of $24,000, 000. The entire income of all the colleges in the United States during 1910 was about $25,000,000. "In other words when one takes into view the depreciation of the battleship or armored p.rninm ii entire cost of 38 battleships for a single year is greater than the .ad ministration of tho entire American system of higher education. "The money which is thus wasted on naval armament would put the cause of the higher education of America upon a moBt efficient basis."

Tho senators are: "Isaac E. Huffman of Butler county, L-. R. Andrews, Lawrence county; George K. Cetone, Mont gomery county. Tho representatives are: Dr. George B. Nye of Pike county and A. C. Lowry of Lawrence county. . Ono indictment was re turned against each charging the solicitation of bribes. "In addition Rodney J. Diegle of JSrie county, sergeant-at-arms in the senate and allege.01 go-between with senators, was indicted with the sena tors for aiding and abetting the bribe solicitation. "All six appeared at tho court house soon after the bills were re turned. They were accompanied by Attorney John A. Connor and fur nished bonds at once. "Three detectives, F. C. Harrison, A. C. Bailey and David H. Berry, who allege they trapped the legisla tors in the bribery deal and who were arrested last week at the in stance of Nye, were bound over, but the grand jury returned 'no bills' in their cases. They will be the princi pal witnesses at the trials of the assemblymen and Diegle. "It is announced that although the April term of .court does not run many weeks longer, adjournment will not be taken until the bribery trials are disposed of. Meanwhile the grand jury will continue its in vestigation. "Detective Burns the other day spent most of his time in the office of Prosecutor Turner questioning grand jury witnesses.
