suing year. chief among which II the erec-
ton Of the new buildings. Those present

Capt. P. B. Johnson, of WaAa Waila,
qualified by taking the oath of Office. and
the board organized by re-electing the old
oficera
The reports Of the secretary and trsa-
surer for the last quarter were read and
approved.
The chancellor appointed the standing
committee on instruction as follows: DR..
Mitten, Judge Allyn and Mr.. Wood. The
other committees will be announced to-
morrow.
Several applications were filed for posi-
tons on the faculty. and were referred to
the committee on instruction.
Perhaps the most important thing done
at yesterdays meeting was the selection
of the executive and building COMMITTEES.
which will have active oversight of the
construction of the new university build
ings, besides the general work of the
executive committee, and report quar-
terly to the full board. The committee is
composed of DR.. Mitten, Maj. Hayden and
Judge Allyn.
Most of the session was spent in dis
cussing the new laws in regard to the
buildings. the appropriation laws and the
validity of the land commission law, upon
which depends the securing of title to the
university site at the portage. The ques-
ton to be decided is whether the board
can 60 ahead and advertise for building
plans before 1t has secured the site and
perfect the title to the site in the mean
time, OF will it have to wait until the ques-
ton of obtaining a site Is determined. The
matter was not decided at yesterdays
meeting and another session will be held
today. The board is anxious to hasten
the construction of the buildings. but it
also wants to 60 about the matter in the
right away.

result of the discovery Of new and start
ling evidence which, it is claimed by
Painters attorneys, will show the inno-
cence Of their client and which NAV
lead to the conviction of the real mur.

So strange and sensational are the de-
velopments that they read like chapter
from 'Gaboriau." The new link in the
chain comes il the form of a letter from a
town in Texas. In the opinion vf Major
Blackburn and Theodore Case this letter
strongly tends to show that the real MUIR
