between L. j. Cronin's Lookout and P.

story-reller, who said that having been at
one examination where each student drew a
separate Slip OF questions, he met class
mate, who had to go in with the next diyi-
sion. ''The thing is not likely to be n

The fellow looked them up, went in and
drew that very paper, and came out
triumphant.

others came up. 1t seems that in one ex-
animation at Yale some years ago in Latin
one fellow, who was very shaky, put his
own interlined textbook into his overcoat
pocket and entered the room. He was
called TO the desk and the tutor gave him a
textbook, of course, not interlined. He
showed it into his other pocket, walked

MUSICIANS IN MILWAUKEE.
The Low Pitch is Adopted for the United
States.

MILWAUKEE,, March 20.-The national
league of musicians today discussed the
resolutions bearing on the charges of the
Theodore Thomas alleged boycott of Chi
cago musicians. They declare in view of
the Chicago orchestra scheme of securing
Theodore Thomas and colonizinC in Chr
cago his so-caled orchestra, recruited in
New York and European musical
centers, and expressly stating that in their
contract with Thomas no Chicago music
ians were to be contracted with as regular
members of said orchestra, the local
union, No. l, Of New York, is instructed
to call on Thomas to annul such contracts
and in case of refusal to discipline him.
After heated discussion, the resoIu-
tions were withdrawn at the urgent re-
quest of the New York union because The
Chicago delegates did not have any docu-
mentary proof OF their charges The
proposition to join the federation of labor
was finally ruled out of order and the
resolution to make the low pitch the
standard musical pitch of the United
States adopted.

wealthy miller who was kidnapped in
such mysterious manner last night, re-
turned this evening safe and sound, but
somewhat unnerved by his experience.
He says upon entering a coupe last night
his suspicious were not aroused until he
noticed the vehicle turn in an opposite d.

threw open the door and attempted
to jump out he was met by two masked
men who held revoivers to his head and
forced him back into the cab. they fol-
lowing. Then they gagged and blind
folded him, the cab keeping On and Per-
rim was unable to keep any idea of the
locality in his mind. Finally he was re-
moved to a room where his captors
released him from bonds, and,
covering him with reyolvers
forced him to write check, promis-
sorry note and letters. The latter were

the hands of his captorS who remained
masked and disguised, Perrin was not
further disturbed till late this
afternoon when his captors in
formed him that their game was
up" but that they would
get him the next time. He was then re-
bound, gagged and blindfolded and con-
Quoted from the room. Their course
seemed to be over a ploughed field, after
which they entered cave and
another long, roundabout drive was
commenced. At last Perrien

finally located himself as being at the
corner of Myrtle and Thirteenth

his captivity. His story is accepted as re-
liable and the police are making every
effort to locate the perpetrators of the out
