Bacultv control of student enter

University Athtletic association voted
unanimously to resist faculty invasion
and stand "bv the constitution of the
athletic association, which provides for
the management of athletics by a board
of nine students and two faculty mem
bers.
Provisions were made for revising
the constitution in such, a way that the
intricacies of financial management
shall be made public, but the student
members of the board were instructed
to enforce the present constitution until
the change is made.
In addition to determining that the

ciation and providing for a revision of
the constitution looking for reform in
'the management of athletics, the stu
dents last night went on record as
fnvoring the organization of a western
athletic league made up of the student
athletic boards of the different western
xmiversities, to take the place of the
big nine faculty conference. The Min
nesota board was authorized to take
the necessarv steps for the organization
of such a league.
In concluding the work of the even
ing the association passed a 'resolution
indorsing the action of the faculty in
adopting the recommendations of the
Angell conference, with the exceptions
of the clauses relating to the limiting
the games on the schedule to five, abol
ishing the football training table, in
creasing faculty control over athletics,
making rules retroactive and faculty
change in playing rules. In taking this
action the association did not go on
record as favoring the reduction of Dr.
Williams' salary, as the sentiment was
icxpressed that the board should adhere
to its three-year contract with Dr. Wil
liams. The right of the faculty to dis
affirm the contracts of the board was
denied. A committee was authorized
to confer with the faculty council in
ijregard to the action of the students.
During the course of the evening
about thirty students participated in
the discussion, and of the thirty only
$ne championed the attitude of the
faculty. The most radical speech of
the evening was made by Dr. Jay I.
Ihirand of St. Paul, an alumnus and
former president of the athletic board
of control. He declared that the pres
ortt evxls in the athletic system were
due to the facultv and not the stu
dents, pointing out that the eligibility

lested in faculty hands and that the
i uancial management of the athletic

n.'ver been subjected to criticism. Ho

This is a case which has been strenu

March will have a long death roll and
the list is likely to exceed 260, which
will be the highest monthly record ever
reached in this city. Altho there hftve
been no epidemics there is an unex

possibly be explained by the fact that
the city is larger than ever.
Of late there have been, an unusually

Warring American Association
Magnates Again at Peace
O'Brien to Train Umpires.
Special to The Journal.
Chicago, March 29.The adjourned
session of the board of directors of the
American association was held today,
and matters pertaining to the organiza
tion were considered without friction of
any kind. The board prepared its re-
Iy
or
which all the warring factions of the J"?J,
association agreed that it was foolish
to jeopardize the interests of the asso-,
r.iafinn bv longer delayin the election
of officers.
It was decided that the case of Mi
chael Kelly, whose desire to be recog
nized as president of the Minneapolis
club caused a deadlock at the last an
nual meeting, will not be taken up this
year.
The magnates were in a more pacific
mood than at any meeting held since the
spring of 1905, and there are indica
tions that they will get together now
and live in pence, at least for the bal
ance of the season.
Columbus, Indianapolis, Minneapolis
and Toledo, which refused at first to
accept the schedule prepared, changed
their minds after considering the dates
thoroly, and they appear now to be sat
isfied.
President O'Brien says he will call a
meeting of umpires for Columbus or
Toledo just prior to the opening of the
season, and give them final instructions
regarding rules, etc.
Blemishes, pimples, eruptions, rashes medi

WHEAT SEEDING WILL
BEGIN NEXT MONDAY
First definite report of the year, cov
ering farm work in the northwest,
came by wire to Minneapolis today
jj| from Harvey, N. D., where, it is said,
i wheat seeding will begin on Monday
next. Other reports followed from Soo
S'and Great Northern territory, indicat
3 ing that the season will start in well,
Jj} in advance of the average date, and
with soil conditions favorable. There
is weather today over the northwest
that should loosen up the ground. If
it continues tomorrow and Saturday
and over Sunday, hundreds of farmers
will be in the fields in the early days
of next week.
CHANGES IN RATE
BILL BY FRIENDS
Continued From First Page^
In the first place it will aim to pro
vide that carriers, whose case is
brought before the laterstate commerce
commission, shall have the right to file
suit in equity against the sommission
as defendant to assert and for the
purpose of protecting any right guar
anteed to the railroads by the consti
tution. Immediately upon the filing of
this suit the court will be required to
hear the caBe at once. To secure this
result the court will also be deemed to
be open and the case will proceed with
out formal pleadingB in equity, and will
take precedence or all other cases bo
fore the court.
Then the amendment will provide
that the plaintiff, which will be the
railroad in each case, will be required
to file with its petition for review cer
tified copies of the conclusions and the
order of the interstate commerce com
mission. The acts of the commission
shall be presumed to have been lawfully
made and shall be deemed correct un
less and until the contrary is deter
mined.
Burden of Proof.
This means, of course, that the bur
den of proof immediately will be placed
upon the railroads. The decision of the
commission will stand until the railroad
has produced sufficient evidence to up
set it on a fair hearing.
Furthermore, the amendment will pro
vide that appeals shall lie directly to
the supreme court of the United States,
and they must be promptly taken. These
appeals will not suspend any action of
the circuit court confirming any action
of the commission, so that if the rail
road is beaten in the lower court the
rate fixed by the commission will stand
until the supreme court of the United
States has finally passed upon the case.
Most important of all will be that
section of the proposed amendment
which provides that no restraining or
interlocutory orders shall be granted on
any ex-parte affidavit.
Furthermore, it will be evident from
the wording of the amendment that the
government each case, as represented
by the interstate commerce commission,
will be party to the suit, and the ship
oer who made the original complaint
will not be compelled to bear the bur
den of the cost of litigation.
Before the amendment finally is
drawn, other features may be intro
duced, but those given above represent
the point of view of the administration
and the friends of the Hepburn bill as
it has been formulated by a series of
conferences.
Appeal from Texas.
Washington, March 29.When the
senate met today Mr. Culberson pre
sented and had the clerk read a memo
rial from the Cattle Eaisers Association
of Texas, urging the passage of the rail
road rate bill as it came from the house.
The letter was accompanied by a letter
from S. H. Cowan, attorney for the as
sociation, in which he said that the rail
roads have in the past six years in
creased rates on cattle shipments to the
extent of $18 a car, causing a total out
lay of $10,000,000 above the amount
that it woul'd have been necessarv to
pay under the old prices. He said the
change Had affected all the range states.
The petition urged the senate to resist
efforts to seriously amend the bill as
mere subterfuges on the part of the op
ponents of the bill.
The senate agreed to adjourn from to
dav until Monday.

Saturday the party of immigrants ar

people occupied the house Saturday and

started for Duluth with the newcomers,
leaving the six members of his old band
behind him in Minneapolis. They were
planning to go out on some railroad sec
tion work, while Siekuioff intended to
bring the new arrivals to the northern
part of the state, to work in the mines.
He arrived here with his party Mon

years of age, seven young men, ranging
from 20 to 35 years of age, and Petros

had been left in charge of the Minne

S,f Monday. the iCustod the St
Paul police an hour after the tragedy.
No one knew of the murder at that
time, however, and' they were allowed
to go, but now every police officer
in the northwest^is looking for them.
Shortly before 1 o'clock Tuesday
morning t-wo dark men, both Macedo
nians, attempted to board an interur
ban car in the middle of the Washing
ton avenue bridge. The motorman re
fused to stop and they tried t-o catch
side. One man had no hat and both
appeared to be a high state of ex
citement.
Failing in their first attempt, the
men walked on until another car over
took them at University and Twenty
seventh avenues SE. Here they were
again in the middle of the block and
the car did not stop. They made the
same attempt to board the car in spite
of the speed, but failed. They then
walked on until another car overtook
them at the midway bridge. Then they
tried to board the front of the car, and
the motorman stopped, allowing them
to get on the car.
The conductor became suspicious,
and at the first opportunity notified
the Prior avenue police to meet the
car. This was done, and the two men
were taken to the station as sus
picious characters.
At first they were sullen when ques
tioned.and pretended to be unable to
on to the gates, but were hurled to one, lieve that such a judge could be found
speak English.
When they learned that they were
likely to be locked up, they spoke in
fairly good English and said they had
just come from the northern part of
the state where they had been em
ployed, and were going to St. Paul to
ship out again. They were in a hur
ry, they said, because they wanted to
See a friend before they left.
When searched, the younger m/n,
who was about 22 years old, had $60
in bills on his person, besides a re
volver that had not been shot off for
some time. He was about 5 feet 7
inches in height, slender, pale, had
smooth face, and wore a sweater un
der his coat.
The other man was 5 feet 5 inches
tall, of stocky build, had high cheek
bones and wore a small mustache. He
wore a corduroy fur lined coat and had
no hat when picked up by# the police.
He was given a black cap with a patent
leather vizor.
Both men were dark, bad small eyes,
and wore lace boots.
The murder was unheard of at that
time and the suspects were allowed to
go. Police Superintendent Doyle has
had the descriptions sent broadcast in
order that the first man seeing the sus
pects may hold them for a police officer.
The detectives are still running down
clues, but the progress is slow, because
no one knows the murdered men. The
twin city police are working with the
Duluth officers in order to round up
the entire gang.

Dr. D. C. CowleSj who has examined
the bodies of the six murdered Bulgar

committed by one man. This man he
says plainly had a fair knowledge of

made with a great deal of precision, the
assassin aiming for the jugular vein.

About to Prosecute.
In 1904, when the Martin resolution
passed the house of representatives, or
dering the Garfield inquiry, the adminis
tration was at work, and it had been at
work for almost a year previously, on
the securing of evidence against the
packers, which would lead to indict
ments. This work was conducted thru
the department of justice, and the de
partment of commerce and labor knew
nothing about it. By the summer of
1905, when Mr. Garfield was ready to
go to Chicago, this work had enmeshed
the packers, and it was the confident be
lief of the administration that indict
ments and convictions would surely fol
low.
This was the situation, the packers
being fully advised regarding it, when
Mr. Garfield, after receiving his in
structions from the president in person,
landed in Chicago. He called first on
Charles G. Dawes, formerly controller of
the currency, now at the head of the
Central Trust company of Illinois. He
outlined to Dawes, who was an old-time
personal friend, what he wanted to do.
He didn't want to make any moves that
would permit the immunity plea to be
raised, and so he said all he would do
would be to let the packers know he
was in Chicago and would hear them if
they felt willing to come before him.
The Packers' Eomancing.
Thru Dawes, Garfield met at luncheon
the attorney for the packers, to whom
hn told the same story, and thru this at
torney it was arranged that a number
ot the packers should appear before
Garfield. They did appear, and the tale
they put up of how they were doing
business at a loss was enough to make
angels weep. When Garfield wrote his
report to the president, based entirely
on this tale, and told how the poor pack
ers were losing money hand over fist,
everybody in the country wrote him
down as an ass of the Dogberry type.
But the packers were playing a care
ful game. They knew that prosecutions
were coming, and that the government
detectives and experts had secured im
portant evidence. If the farce which
had been enacted before Garfield could
only be made to take on the light of
testimony within the meaning the
immunity statuteu would be clear

Mr. Garfield a good many more wit

.many more fairy tales than would have
been tcld in the ordinary course of a
bona fide conference^bona fide so far
as the packers were concerned, for Mr
Gurfield was deeply serious, altho for
the time being he was made to act the
part of a clown. He was being directed
day by day by the president himself.
Eoosevelt Felt Secure.
The only question for the packers to
determine, after they had given Mr.
Garfield the "razzlecourt dazzle,' wa-
vT l^* an^"
The days and the weeks and the
months passed merrily by, and at last
the packers' cases came up for trial in
Chicago. Judge Humphrey had been se
lected to hear them. At once the pack
ers raised the immunity cry, based on
the Garfield inquisition, and the gov
ernment, aware that that inquisition
was all a farce, deliberately planned
to be such, for the very purpose of pre
venting the successful raising of thi
the packers'
er with all the force at its command The
attorney general appeared in person to
plead the government case, and there
were able attorneys on the other side
also.
The Humphrey Blow.
As soon as the arguments had ceased,
without waiting for a moment to
elapse, Judge Humphrey, so clear was
the case his own mind, began to hand
down aa oral decision, to the effect that
the packers, as individuals, were en
titled to immunity on account of what
had taken place before Mr. Garfield in
the previous summer, but that the cor
porations as such were not immune. In
asmuch as it was the individuals the
government was after, and not the im
personal corporationwse decision in a
moment overturned the carefully
planned work numy months.

whom proceedings may be brought,
should be of the same opinion as Judge
Humphrey.

The conditions surrounding the two
cases are very similar. The govern
ment had been quietly investigating
the beef trust with a view too prosed
cutions months before Mr* Martin
either on his own motion or at the
suggestion of othersand, in either
case, it was from honest motives, so
far as he was concernedsuddenly be
thought himself that it would be a
fine thing to have the limelight of
publicity turned on that trust. The
result was that one branch of the ad
ministration, not desiring to conflict
with or to imperil the work which an
other branch was doing, sent its repre
sentative to Chicago, where some idle
and, as the government thought, per
fectly harmlesshours were passed in
an interchange of confidences between
the packers and Mr. Garfield. Then
came the Humphrey decision, and
chaos for the government.
The President's Fears.
In the present instance the govern
ment, according to the special message
of the president, has been for some
time hard at work securing evidence
against the oil trust, the coal roads
and against the so-called merger of
the Pennsylvania and other roads.
Here are the president's exact words:
A part of the investigation re
quested by the house of representa
tives in the resolution adopted Feb.
15, 1905, relating to the oil industry,
and a further part having to do with
the anthracite coal industry, has been
for some time under way by the de
partment of commerce and labor.
These investigations, I am informed,
are approaching and before

commission could not endeavor to carry
out so much of the resolution of con
gress as refers to the ground thus
already covered without running the
.risk of seeing the two investigations
conflict, and therefore render each
other more or less nugatory."
Just how much stronger the presi
dent's language in his special message
would have been regarding the Till
man resolution had he. at the time it
was written, known what Judge
Humphrey was to hold regarding im
munities, as the Tesult of the Martin
resolution, would be a fruitful source
of study for the mind readers.

roads, the oil trust and others, have
gone far enough to prevent the im
munity cry from again being raised.
For, obviously, if there is another fed
eral judge in the country agreeing with
Judge Humphrey, and that judge should
by any chance "be designated to sit in
the oil trust and coal trust cases, the
government would again be knocked
out.
So the government is going to pro
ceed with great deliberation, and all
that the interstate commerce commis
sion has thus far done has been to
make a few -preliminary Inquiries and
do^ certain other perfectly harmless
things. The hearing of witnesses will
come last, if at all.
Was Martin Used?
The qutrs#'6ns reass^rr^hemselves:
Was Mr. Martin made the"innocent'vic
tim of the beef trust when he intro
duced his now famous resolution, and
was the house victimized at the same
time? And was Mr. Tillman also im-

already appears, from the quotation
made from the president's special mes
sage, that the administration did not be-
contentions
when he introduced his reso
and were both houses imposed
upon at the same time?
Mr. Martin used the prestige which
his resolution brought him to secure a
renomination to the house, and a re
election, and now he is using it still
farther in an effort to have it carry
him into the United States senate. Mr.
Tillman's term in the senate is now
about to expire, and it is perfectly safe
to assume that he will use his leadership
of the debate on the rate case, as well
as lis trust investigation resolution,
wi1 his constituents of South Carolina,
as a weighty reason why he should not
be retired from public life.
Meanwhile, the lesson has been
learned that it is not wise to fool
