passed one of the most doubtful points.
Not until the association had decided to
bring some of the crack college rowing
crews to Minneapolis to compete In a
regatta was it realized what doubtful
project it was. College oarsmen
ale proyerbially independent fellows.
and It was 4 question II they would
come to Minneapolis merely because
they were asked to come on favorable
terms. But one college crew will GER
tainly come to Minneapolis. The Cor
nelhans have said that they will be
here, and they will have crew pre-
pared to row any amateur crew In the
world. They do not care whether any
other college crews come; they Will
come anyhow. This carnival association
people believe that CornelPs decision
will have good effect upon the other
crews with which negotiations. have
been opened.
The various clubs which are inter-
ested in field sports have formed sort
of general association to take charge or
this class of sports in connection with
the carnival. No professionalism will
be allowed. Professionals will not be
allowed to have anything to do with the
management of the sports. nor will
they be allowed to compete. The record
of every man will be closely ScrutiniZed.

He Rumped His Head.

Oscar Larson, insane from the ex-
cessiye use of alcoholic stimulants,
created a sensation at the central sta
ton Yesterday morning. He was
brought in by Patrolman Joe Ryan for
being drunk and locked up in a cell on
the first floor. Jailer Bradley, after
locking him up, proceeded TO attend to
his other duties. He had been out OF
the cell room only few minutes when
he heard a commotion in LarSOn'S cell.
Upon going in to investigate he found
the demented occupant humping his
head against the iron sides OF his cell
with the evident Intention OF beating
out his brains. He had almost sue
ceeded, his scalp being torn in dread
full manner, and the blood was pouring
out of the Wounds he had inflicted upon
himself. Police Surgeon Gibson was
called in and while dressing Larson's
wounds he made another attempt to
dash ont his brains by humping his
head against the marble wash bowl. he
was taken to the county Jail after his
wounds were dressed ana placed in a
padded cell.
The city attorney submitted written
opinion yesterday morning to the coun-

near the city hall. The opinion is given
below:
1.-The city council has authority, I'M
doubtedly, to prescribe the purpose for
which a street may be used: that is. to
impose regulations for its proper use, or
grant TO another 10 use. public street
for purpose or use inconsistent with
the free and unrestricted enjoyment
thereof by the public in general. TO
permit the street railway company to
erect depot building upon public
street, to that extent grants the street
railway company the right to monopo-
lie its use for its own business to the
exclusion of the use thereof by the pub
lic."
No action was taken on the matter
owing to the absence of General Mana
ger Goodrich.

PATTEE THE WINNER.
Another Sensation in the College
OratOrical Contest.


OratOrical Contest.
Carl S. Pattee, of the state univer-
sity, will represent Minnesota at the
next interstate oratorical contest held
at Columbus, o. One of the judges re-
computed portion of his markings and
reported that w. A. Smith was the
winner of first place instead of Ii. NJ.
Hubbel, of Carleton college, but at a
meeting of the executive committee of
the state association last evening it was
found that first place belongs 10 Carl 5.
Pattee, which entities him to place in
the interstate contest. This decision is
final and official.
This news will make Carletonians
howl, for the victory which they thought
they had won elated them not little,
and the quiet little college town was
probably aroused by the joyous yells of
200 students returning from st. Paul,
where they came to witness their cham
piOn carry off first place.
1t will be terrible ''come-down" for
them to release the captured bird to a
state university man. A committee will

them of the change.
Mr.. Pattee is the first representative

junior in the academic department OF

think there is no other-way out of it,.
None of the examining committee will

THE WATERFRONT TROUBLE.

Notice Served on the TrespaSsers That
They Engaged In an Unlawful Act.
SAN Francisco, July 7.-Relative to
the action of the Mayor of Oakland and a
body of citizens last night at the foot of
Broadway street, in tearing down fences
and removing rails and small houses
belonging to the Southern Pacific Com
pany, the agents and attorneys of the
company served notices upon those en-
gagged in the trespass that they are doing
an unlawful thing and violating and de-
flying a judgment and order of the United
States Circuit Court, and that the Mayor
and officials engaged in the proceeding
and the city of Oakland will be held re-
sponsible for any invasion of the lawful
rights of the company.
The Mayor, on his part, contends that
he has a right to open the street to the
waters edge and to remove any obstruc-
tions in the street; that it was once an
open street, and has never been lawfully
closed. At one time, when he was
warned that his proceedings were tres
pass, he replied that the crowd of people
removing the rails were not acting under
his order, but were free people and could
do as they liked. The police appeared on
the scene, but did not take any steps of
interfering, one way or the other. The
Southern Pacific Company sent body of
men to the spot, but they made no demon
strations. Lumber which the company
unloaded upon the property the Mayor
and his helpers seized and carted to the
corporation yard of Oakland.
There was a considerable crowd at the
spot on Friday, and police force also to
preserve order. Mr.. Brown, attorney
for the Southern Pacific Company, says
that the trespass was an unprecedented
outrage upon human rights. That the
property was purchased for big price,
and has been held in peaceable possess
sion for more than thirty years. Once
before the city sought to take the prop
erty, and Mr. Huntington. as one-quarter
