From Friends of the Move
meont.
All In Wavor of Concentrat(in as the Trne
Prielple in DealIng With Higher
Udneatlon.
The committees of the eounell of edosa
cation and the state Teachers' aseoeihttoP
have prepared an address to the members of
the legislature, urging the eonsoldidatloe of
the state edunetional latitlations from
which the following extracts are takeas
"We believe that the citisase of Mentana
should have the matter brought to their at
teaition in a prorer and intelligent manner.
showing them how the largest and best in
terests of the state may be conserved by
the consolidation of the state univesity.
Having studied the matter intelligently,
from a practical and economical stand
point, we feel assured that they will rise
above considerations of merely local inter
ests and look to the greater advantages
which must acorns to the state as a
whole and for all the future. In
support of our proposition we ven
ture to suggest the following arguments:
The history of state education in the older
states proves most conclusively that the beet
results hove always been reached through
the eonsolidation of the state educational
institutions. This argument will be
strengthened by a perusal of the opinions
of the leading educators and presidents of
state universities, whose views are ap
rended. These views all gain additional
force in Montana from the feat that it is
but sparsely populated, and must be for
many years to come. T. J. Burrill, sating
regent of Illinois university, says: 'It
would be disastrous to your best educa
tional interests to divide the fund for a
state university to accommodate separate
loealities.'
"David S. Jordan, president of Leland
.Stanford, Jr. university, says in his letter:
'To locate the institutions, in a state like
Montana, in separate towns, as has been
done in Colorado and other states, is to
doom them to utter failure and lack of in
fluence.' He farther says: "'heseparation
of the schools founded by the Morrill act,
from the state unive, sity, as we have seen
in nearly half the states of the union, was
a blunder which in time will deepen into a
crime. Wisconsin, Illinois. Minnesota and
Nebraska are examples of the rapid growth
of universities when the higher work of the
state in all concentrated in one place.'"
"Considerations of economy are strongly
in favor of consolidation of the state uni
versity," says the committee. "If divided
each institution must have a separate board
of trustees. Each must have a president,
a professor of English, a professor of chem
istry, a professor of natural soien0es. Each
must have a chemical and physical labora
tory and library. This argument appeals
very forcibly to Montana, where the num
ber of students for many years to come
will not be beyond the capacity of one pro
fessor in each department, and where one
laboratory and one library will be amply
suffclient for all. Not only so, but com
bining the funds at our disposal they cnn
be eqiuipped and lurnished much more effic
iently than by dissipating our funds and
our energies in the equipment of several
laboratories and libraries instead of one.
In support of this argument we refer to the
appended views of leading educators.
"Chas. W. Elliott, president of Harvard
university, refers to Colorado as an example
of the evils of separation. In the case of
Montana it must be even more diesasrous,
as it has a much smaller population. Un
less our state institutions are equipped as
well as eastern colleges, a large proportion
of our students will continue to go to east
ern schools because of greater fecilitiese,
and the advantages of well equipped labor
atories and libraries. When we consider
the senall educational fund at present
available, and, farther, that the land ap
propriated to the state Institutions cannot
be sold at less than ten dollars per acre, it
will be seen that the available funds are
ntterly inadequate, and must for many
years be utterly insufficient to carry on the
work of the separate institutions with any
credit to the state.
"H. B. Adams, of Johns Hopkins univer
sity, says: 'In editing a series of state re
ports for the United States bureau of edu
cation on American educational history, I
have been profoundly impressed with the
wrongs done to all future generations by
the improper division of public money in
the founding and maintenance of colleges.
The exprerience of the state of Ohio in this
regard is the worst on :eco:d. In that
state splendid revenues were scattered upon
a number of institutions in order to gratify
local sentiment. Concentration and cen
tralization are the true p ineiples in deal
ineo with the hrnhar adinaminn. .r
"'P:esident Jordan, in an address deliv
ered before the state university of Illinois,
said: 'I congratulate the state of Illinois
that its university is one university,. that
its pure and applise science, its lite:ature,
history, philosophy and art are taught in
one institution. by one united faeultr. The
best results in any line of education cannot
be reached without the association of all
othere. The t aining of the engineer will
be the more valuable from his asseciatloe
with the classical student. The literary
man may galan much and will lose nothing
from his acquaintance with the praotiesa
work of the engines .'
"Believrng that the state of Montaan
should learn from the mistakes end experi
ences of other states In regard to higher
education, severail citiuens have been in
correspondence with the leauing educators
anld presidents of stateuniversities threugh
out the land in reference to this important
question, and their replies are appended.
iuoh evidence onubt to outweigh all terso
nal and local considerations. We do not
in this appeal to the citizens of Montana
even wish to assume thaut any one town or
city in the state is ireferable to any or all
others, but we believe that it would be for
the highest and beat interests of the state.,
retardleos of its location,l, to have all the
depastrumets of the state university cen
tralized at one point.
"In their report to the legislature now in
session the code commissioners make the
following 5tyueution: 'it is ngaeneted that
the university of Montana be looneed at
some place and that the other three educe.
tionel institutions be made oarts of the
university and be connected with it under
their several different names. One build
ing would be sullicient for all, at least for
ia time, end one corps of teachers could per
form all the ueocsnar, duties.'
I he following are extracts from the let
tere received from the educators named:
From President Wm. It. Harpe-. of the
university of Chicago: "I am greatly in
terested in what Montana may do In an
educational way. We have given the mat
ter soime consideration and have no hesita
tion whateve,, in saying that it will be a
great calamity to the cause of education,
not only in the slate, but elsewhere. ii the
institutions which are to be established are
separated one from another. For the sake
of economy and efocisanoy the a ieultural
college and the school of mines should be
a part of the unive:alty. I sincerely hope
that no mistake will be saads."
From President Cyrus Northrup, Univer
sity of Minnesota: "I hope the state of
Montana will mike no mistake in deciding
the location of her institutions of collegiate
and polyteehnlo education. As Ezra Cor
nell has pointed out, 'concentration' is the
principle that should control."
From Hon. Andrew D. White, U. S. mia
later to Russia, ex-president Cornell Unl
varsity: "I regret to learn that there is an
effort making in Montana to ditde and
scatter the schools for advanced iuntruction
and research, namely, the state univer ity,

good localty will attract generous gifts
from .our men of wealth and public spirit,
as the ease of Cornell shows; while little,
feeble institutions will be looked upon with
contempt and will not be helped In this
way. Cornell started with endowments

own would be, if concentrated, but thanks
to good management of its resources, and
above all to gifts from public-spirited na.
dividuals smoanting now to several mil
lions of dollars. Its lncome to-day is
larger than its original pecuniary endow
ment; the very fact that it was large and
strong, has drawn mere gifts to it which
it otherwise could not have ecoured. It has
received from individuals more than all the
twenty-two small collegee of the state."
From Presidero D. C. Gilman, of Johns
Hopkins university: "I am firmly of the
opinion that it in desirable to combine in
one strong institution the state university
and the colleges of agriculture and mines,
provided for in the congressional grant.
All the funds united will not be for many
years to come adequate to your wants. Sep
arated with those distinct foundations it is
doubtful whether either one of them would
be worthy of your state."
From President Chas. W. Elliott, of Har
yard university: 'I beg to say that a state
university in Montana should undoubtedly
oiclude the agricultu at college of the stats,
the state school of wines and the state nor
mal school It is the Interest of the state
to concentrate theas institutions at one
spot and under one direction. Each of the
deirartments which I have named would be
mueh more effeootive as part of the univers
ity than as a distinct institutin.
If you want an example of the
effects of the opposite policy you may
find is in the state of Colorado, where the
state university is in one town, the normal
school in another, and the school of mines
in a third. This disposition has been and
ts very unfortunate. The state university
should be placed near a prosperons and
growing town or city containing an intelli
gent and publio-splrited population, and it
should not be robbed of any of the compe
nent parts of a comprehensive university."
From President David 8. Jordan, of Le
land Stanford Junior universit.: '"I am
fully in sympathy with your desire to hold
the nateral parts of the elate university of
Montana together. There is no doubt
whatever from the experience of other state.
that the three departments kept together in
one will be of vastly more value and influ
ence in Montana than the three institu
tions could ~ossibly be if located in sepa
rate towns.'

Bank Case Against Assignee
Max Kahn.
To Test the Validity of the Assign
ment of Greenhood,
Bohm & Co.
A Jury gaeared and Testimony Miegina1
To.l)av-Judges Hunt sad Suek
Will Prealde.
The well known ease of the Merehants
National bank, of Helena, against Max
Kahg as assignee of Grenhood, Bobm &A
Co., was salled in the district ourt yestler
day for trial. It took the attorneys some
time to net a Jury and no testimony was
takes, but will be oommenced to-day. On
Feb. 12, 1892, Greephood, Bobsn d Co. as
sliged all their property, real, personal
and mixed, In Helena and New York city,
inoluadtg some rest estate In Seattle, Wash
ington, to Max Kahn, who was then acting
as their bookkeeper. Kahn took posses
alon of all the goods in the store, and tele
graphed to New York that an aseignment
had been made of all the property and di
reeted a party there to take possession of
the property in his name as aslignee.
Amelg the preferred creditors under the
asalgnment were Mrs. Caroline West
heimer, $2,500; E. Rejall, New York, $45,
000; Merehants National bank, $88,000;
First National bank. $17,000; Thos. Crone
Savings bank, $7,500; American National
bank. $4,000; Mrs. J, M. Ityan, $2,000; W.
C. ioker, $4,500; H. Barnett, $1,987; Bach,
Cory & Co., $1,900; Cel. Morse, New Chi
cago, $8,500, and Collen, Banders & Shel
ton, $1,000. The assignment further pro
vided that if any assets remained after
paying the preferred creditors in full the
onpreferred oreditors shonld receive their
pro rata share of the balance remaining in
the hands of the alsienee. On Feb. 18, the
day following the assignment, the Mer
ehants National bank, through its attor
ners, commeneed snit in the distriet court,
leased writ of attachment and directed the
sheriff to levy the writ on the property in
the hands of the assignee, and take and
hold possession. The sheriff went to the
store and demanded of Kahn. the assignee,
possession of the store and goods, and or
dered him to deliver over the keys to him.
This he refused to do, claiming that he held
possession as assignee of Greenhood, Bohm
& Co., under the aseianmeat and was en
ttied to hold the property. The sheriff
then seeured a large bond from the bank,
and broke in the door and ousted the as
signee of his possession. Bubsequently the
bank commenced the present suit, which is
one in equity, asking to have the assign
ment see aside as fraudulent, and the assets
converted into cash and applied to the
payment of their judgment at law. One of
the grounds of fraud alleged by the
bank is that IE. Rejall, of New York, who is
preferred to the amount of $45,000. under
the assignment, was a silent partner; and
the plaintiff now ,elies on other grounds to
defeat the assignment,
' here is still another suit pending in the
United States ttates eirouit court, in which
E. Rejall is plaintiff and the bank, Kahn,
aseeignee, L. H. Hershfleld, Aaron Hersh
field, Isaen Greenhood, Ferdinand Bohm
and William M.th are defendants.. This
suit involves the validity of the aseignment
also. The bank demurred on the ground
that the United States court had no juris
dlotion to try the case, for the reason that
a suit of a similar nature was pending in
the state court, but Judge Knowles over
ruled the demurrer, and held that his court
could try the case. The jurymen who will
try the case are David Blacker, J. H.
Freezer, John W. Thompson, H. M. Brand
eaec, George W. Shaw, Henry Bieben . E. E.
Woodman, F. K. Turner, C. T. Perry, Jesse
I. Phelps, P. J. Connor and J. B. Look

in the trial of the ease. The Merchants
National bank is represented by McConnell,
Claybere & Gann and ex-Gov. Cnrrsenter.
Kahn's attorney's are W. E, Cullen, George
F. Shelton, J. A. Walsh, C. O. Newman and
