STUDENTS PROTEST
AGAINST ALLEGED
TAINTED DONATION
A row. which threatens to split wide open the ranks of
the students, faculty, regents and alumnae of the University
of Washington has resulted from the open protest of leading
students against the acceptance by the university of the
chimes presented by A. J. Blethen, which they term a "tainted"
gift.
Signed by 51 students, an "open letter" of protest was
addressed to President Kane and the board of regents and was
to have been printed in yesterday'# issue of the "Daily," the
student paj>er.
President Kane, however, ordered the presse* stopped and
there was no student paj>er printed yesterday.
It waa the first laaue of tho stu
dent paper in all Its history that ha*
ever boon suppressed
This, however, only served to
arouse tb« protesting students all
the more. They rushed to a down
town printer and struck off clrcu
lars wbleh reproduced this "o|«eo

ing. It waa circulated on the
canipua.

t'nless President Kane and the
twlvenrtly printing department
rescind their order and lift the ban
on the "open letter." the students
will refuse to publish the dally on

dred contends that the paper la a
student publication and that Ote
only relation It has with the uni
versity printing department Is a
business ' one, a contract relation
only.

student board of control has been
called to consider the question of
declaring the contract for printing

Kditor The Star: The attack on Robert T. Hodge recoils that
the same line of attack wo* made in 1896 by the game newspapers
against Candidate John R Rogers. They accused Mm. Rogers of
having done other people's washing because of her husband's laxl

SEIDEL IN LOS ANGELES.
U>B ANGKLKS, Oct. ll.—Emll
Seidel, former mayor of Milwaukee
and vice presidential nominee of
the socialist party, arrived here to
day. Seidel will make two speeches
here.
HOW'S THIS FOR MEANNESS?
It's a hard thing to aay about a man, and mayb* Emll Clark, 41,
didn't do It. He ia held at the Georgetown jail, thought to be the man
who adminlatared a aevera beating to Julius Courtney, 29, a blind marl,
at Van Aaaelt, last night In Courtney'a home.
Courtney says Clark was tha man. He saya he waa asleep when
he was awakened by a blow in the face. There were no witnesses
to ths assault.
There Js no doubt sbout Peter Hansen, 50. a Ballard carpenter,
being a mean man. Police Judge Gordon yeaterday sentenced him to a
fine of 9100 and 30 days in Jail for stealing pennies from a newsboy's
stand at Third av. and UnJon st. Frid. y morning. Patrolman Loeser
saw the man take money from aeveral stands before he made the sr
rest.
In lieu of the $100, Hansen will have to spend 63 days in jr 11.
