CARNEGIE GIFT
AFFECTS D,flFM.
MAKES SMALLER COLLEGES AT
TRACTIVE TO PROFESSORS.
A Low Salary Limit at Minnesota State
Institution Has Long Caused Grave
Concern Which the Pension Plan May
AggravateAthletics a Big Factor
in Selection of Colleges.
Minnesota must pay her university
professors better or eventually lose some
of them to smaller institutions not
under state control.
This is one of the first developments
to be predicted as a result of the Car
negie Foundation.
For many years conditions have been
growing up in both the state univer
sity and the smaller colleges that have
caused grave concern. In the first
case the university, beinpt under state
control, has been subject to a some
what oppressive policy of economy
enforced by men who were more likely
to be politicians than educators. This
has made it difficult to change the
schedule of salaries as the institution
grew in importance and raised its
standards. The inevitable lesult has
been that the university authorities
have been apprehensive over their
ability to secure and keep men of the
desired ability who would be better
paid elsewhere.
On the other hand, the independent
collegesmostly founded as denomina
tional schoolshave been gravely con
cerned over a falling off in attend
ance. In competition with state uni
versities where the athletic interest is
strong, the smaller colleges have suf
fered. New students prefer to matric
ulate where they can yell for a winner.
Moreover the curricula of the state
universities are more varied. For the
most part the small institutions are
meagerly endowed and a decrease in
enrollment eventually means financial
embarrassment and inability to secure
high grade talent as faculty vacancies
occur.
That the Carnegie Foundation, af
fording a yearly pension of $1,000 to
the retired professor, will make the
smaller colleges more attractive to
teaching talent is the opinion of Pres
ident Cyrus Northrop.
"It is one of the noblest and most
useful gifts and will come as a great
relief to hundreds of professors in the
colleges," he said today. "It will do
a world of good relieving the anxiety
of a large number of excellent and val
uable men who have never been able
to accumulate enough money to take
care of them in their old age. Accord
ing to the provisions of the gift, state
universities and sectarian schools are
barred from receivings the benefits of
the fund. Such institutions as Har
vard and Yale will, however, be in
cluded.
The only effect this will have on the
schools where the gift does not apply
will be that the men who are getting
no advance in salary will be drawn to
the institutions included under the
fund. It will make these institutions
more attractive and will enable the
teachers advanced in years to retire
on $1,000 a year."
SCORED BY McMASTER
Historian Assails Carnegie's Gifts for
Professors and Libraries.
New York Sun Special Service.
Philadelphia, April 29."I don't
know anything more about Andrew Car
negie 's gift of $10,000,000 as a pension
fund for college professors who are un
able to continue in active service than
what I have read, but I don't like it,"
said Dr. John Bach McMaster, profes
sor of American history at the univer
sity of Pennsylvania, and one of the
best-known historians in the country.
"We have Carnegie libraries, Carnegie
heroes, and now Carnegie professors.
I don't believe in this scattering of
libraries over the country, as Mr. Car
egie has been doing in the last few
years. It is not a good thing, and I
don't like Mr. Carnegie's methods. In
the first place, I do not believe in pen
sion systems in general, and I am espe
cially opposed to them in the teaching
profession. It would be virtually the
same thing as the police pensioning, and
it surely would lower the profession.
When one of us enters that profession
we do not do it with the expectation of
making money we have an entirely
different end in view. This pension sys
tem would lower our standard. I be
lieve that in this and in all professions,
as in business, each man should stand
on his own basis, and on that alone.
Personally, I would not accept such a
pension."
2r Charles Curtis Harrison, provost
of the university, took an entirely dif
ferent view and seemed much pleased
with Mr. Carnegie's gift.
Two Universities Barred.
Chicago, April 29.The University of
Chicago and Northwestern university
are excluded from the benefits of the
$10,000,000 fund donated by Andrew
Carnegie to provide annuities for re
tired college professors. Both are said
to be barred under the provision which
says: "Only such as are under the con
trol of a sect or require trustees or a
maiority thereof, officers, faculty or
students, to belong to any specific sect,
or which impose any theological test,
are to be excluded."
WANT A NEW PARK
North Side People Propose One at End
of Plymouth Avenue.
The North Side Commercial club last
night decided to bend every ef
fort toward 'securing a park
to be bounded by Tenth ave
nue, Plymouth avenue, Penn avenue
and the city limits. This tract is es
pecially suitablo for park purposes and
the North Side residents are anxious to
have it made into one. The club and
individual members will bend every
energy along this line.
It was decided to form a ladies'
auxiliary to the club. It was also pro
posed that the McNair farm be pur
chased and used for the North high
school athletic field and a smaller park.

Keep Enumerators Busy Tnruout
JuneStaff Will Be Made Up Before
May 20Examinations Required.
State census work in Hennepin coun
ty will require the attention of eighty
six enumerators during June. Andrew
A. D. Rahn, who has been designated
to superintend the work, has practi
cally finished laying out the districts,
after consultation with the Hennepin
members of the legislature, who will
also have some voice in picking the
enumerators.
The thirty-eighth legislative district,
comprising the first ward and part of
the third, will be divided mtOt eight
districts. The thirty-ninth, taking in
the second and ninth wards, is cut up
into nine districts. The fortieth, which
is the fourth ward, forms eight dis
tricts, \and the forty-first, comprising
the fifth and sixth wards, forms eleven.
The forty-second will have five country
districts and thirteen in the seventh,
eleventh and twelfth wards: The forty
third will haye eleVen country districts
and ten in the eighth and thirteenth
wards. The forty-fourth will have four
districts in the country and seven in
the city portion, which takes in the
tenth ward and all of the third but the
river precincts.
The enumerators will be selected be
in their hands by May 25 so they can
prepare to gather names June 1. Mr.
Rahn secured quarters on the
groundhafloor
of the city and county^
uildmg, and will occupy the room for

the municipal court and the two de
tention-rooms adjoining.

The country assessors will probably

will do the assessing in May, and will
thus become familiar 'with every- fam-

names in June can be done easily and

THEY'LL CELEBRATE CENTEN-
NIAL OF ACQUISITION OF THIS
TERRITORY FROM INDIANS.
About 150 membera of the Native
Sons of Minnesota "knd members of
their families were present at the an
nual banquet~at Donaldson's tearooms
last evening. Governor Johnson and
Senator E. W. Durant, on the program
for addresses, failed to appear owing
to illness. Mayor D. P. Jones, E. W.
Randall and Major Edwin Clark of
Minneapolis spoke, recalling pioneer
days. E. A. Bromley presented a series
of stereopticon views of historical
scenes.
It was decided to commemorate the
one hundredth anniversary of the first
cession of land within the present bor
ders of the state from the Indians to
the United States. This took place on
Sept. 23, 1805, two years after the
Louisiana purchase, and included what
is now the Tort Snelling reservation.
Lieutenant Zebulon Pike, the pioneer
after whom Pike's Peak was named,
made the treaty with the Indians. The
evenf will be commemorated at Fort
Snellmgr. Governor Johnson and his
staff will participate. Dr. W. W. Fol
well, who has just written a history of
Minnesota, agreed to deliver the ad
dress.
REJUVENATE PARK
Money Will Be Spent in Restoring
Beauties of Columbia.
At a meeting of the park board com
mittee on improvements yesterdav, it
was voted to recommend that $2,000
be expended on the improvement of
Columbia park. Tvhis place has been
neglected for many years and has al
most lost the appearance of a park.
The committee provided $3,500 for roof
ing over the band stand at the Lake
Harriet pavilion.
The sum of $825 was set aside for
a footpath along St. Anthony parkway
and a parapet wall at Bridal Veil falls,
at the east end of the Franklin ave
nue bridge.
No merry-go-rounds will be tolerated
at Minnehaha this summer as far as
the paTk board has any authority to
prevent it. C. C. Patten has sought
to secure the privilege, but the com
mittee on improvements yesterday
hearkened to the voice of the residents
in that part of the city and refused to
entertain Mr. Patten's offer. The dele
ation from the falls was headed by
A. M. Harrison and S. A. Stock
well.
TO SEE A CAPITOL
South Dakota Commissioners Here En
Route to Montana.
D. D. Wipf, secretary of state, J. F.
Halladay, state auditoT, and C. J.
Bach, land commissioner, all of Pierre,
S. D., and members of the South Da
kota capitol commission are in the city
today on their wav to Helena, Mont.
At Willmar, Governor Elrod, the fourth
member of the commission, will join
them.
It having been definitely decided
that Pierre should remain the capital
of the state, the legislature provided
for the erection of a state house, the
cost of which should not exceed $500,-
000. Montana has just completed a
state capitol at a cost that would come
within the South Dakota appropria
tion. The object of the trip to Helena,
is to view the building and confer -with
the capitol commission of that state.

MUMM CONTEST EXPENSES.
Ninth Ward Alderman Makes Unsuc

Committee Named to Investigate For
age QuestionGrade Crossing Reso
lutions Offered.
Alderman Frank H. Castner stirred
up the council last evening by attempt
ing to recall the resolution reimbursing
Alderman Claus Mumm for his ex
penses in defending the contest by
Orvar G. RoSing, last fall. Mr.
Castner was virtuously indignant, also
aggressive, and after approaching the
subject from three or four different di
rections and being regularly turned
down by President A. E. Merrill, he had
created an unusual disturbance. Mr.
Castner declared that the council had
no right to vote away the people's
money for the individual benefit of the
aldermen and wanted the former action
rescinded. Alderman G. A. Westphal
made the point of order that there
could be no reconsideration, as there
were not as many aldermen present as
when the original resolution was
passed, and the point was sustained.
Mr. Castner tartly replied that he
was not making a motion to reconsider
a vote, but to rescind an illegal action.
President Merrill consulted City
ore^ May 20, and the blanks must be torney Healy and announced that that
official held that the motion was out of
order.
"What has the city attorney to do
with parliamentary practice governing
this body?" demanded the alderman,
fiercely.
The chair ruled that a motion to re
consider the vote was out of order at
that meeting, but at the next meeting
a resolution to rescind -would be in
order.

When the St. Paul police commis

asking them to compel Chief John
O'Connor to suppress gambling, that
official made the rather startling state
ment that there had been no gambling
in St. Paul for five years.
The chief also said that there is no
slot machine operated in St*-Paul in
which money is directly staked.

Authorizes Snelling Extension.
On a resolution by Alderman W. W.
Ehle the street railway company was
directed to extend the Minnehaha hwe
from its present terminus to the Fort
Snelling reservation. This action au
thorizes the company to begin the
work on the Fort Snelling lihe when
ever it so desires.
Ordinances prepared by City Attor
ney Frank Healy for the solution of
the grade crossing problem in South
east Minneapolis were presented and
referred to the special committee hav

They require the Northern Pacific to
bridge University avenue SE and Oak
street, and the Milwaukee to bridge
Washington avenue SE.
Give Married Men Preference.
A resolution fixing the wages of la
borers on public works at $1.85 a day
of eight hours w^s adopted. It re
quires the foremen on the work to give
preference to heads of families, and
legal residents of Minneapolis. The
promised fight by Alderman Westphal
to raise the wage to $2 was not made.
On account of the protest of prop
erty owners along Thirty-first street

underground wires and the aldermen
of the seventh, eighth and twelfth
wards.
Chairmen of standing committees
were made happy by the passage of a
resolution by Alderman W. E. Satter
lee, authorizing the use of rubber
stamps in approving bills. As the
chairmen are required to write their
names several hundred times at each
meeting, the use of a rubber stamp will
save much labor.

TO REPAVE CENTRAL
Rough Granite Blocks to Be Replaced
With Wooden Ones.
Central avenue will be repaved this
summer from the steel aich bridge
across Nicollet island and from Mam
street to Fourth street. These two
stretches are now laid with granite
blocks, and are probably the roughest
and noisiest bits of paving in the city.
Year after year the property owners
have sought to have the street repaved,
but in ono way or another their plans
nave been sidetracked.
The n6W paving will be of creosoted

Fearing some tragedy they rushed to
the scene on foot, horseback, and in
autos. Everything seemed in per
fect order, and when inquiry was made
to the manager, it was explained as
"only a little horseplay."
One of the efirls, told, the story later
on. A huge gray horse escaped from the
Barret & Zimmerman barns and tore
down the street until it reached the
wide doors of the exchange. Here if
turned into the room devoted to the
"hello" girls. The girls paid no at
tention until the visitor blew a terrific
blast down the neck of the girl on the
end of the line.
Then' the uproar began. It would
be hard to say whjch was the more
frightened, the horse or the girls. Some
with amazon tendencies seized hat
pins* and waved them frantically.
Some of the more timid tried to crawl
inside the switchboard. With a wild
snort the horse pranced thru the room
and burst out of another door which
led to the street and with a crash dis
appeared. Stable men were looking
for him and a peck of oats captured
him.

building at Oakland avenue and Lake
street. Johnson, who is a plumber,
was putting a thread on a gaspipe when
he steppea on a banana peeling and
fell on the pipe. The end of the pipe
nearly tore his eye out, but as he had
been blind in that eye for several years,
he suffers no permanent new injury.
