one of the 81 students in the class who
attended the lecture on the morning
in question. The doctor recalled the
names of a dozen students and said he
believed he could remember more if he
were given time to think the matter
over.
The prosecution next attacked the re-
liability Of the roll call. Before the dis
trict attorney had hardly reached the
point of the subject, however, Judge
Murphy took a hand In the examina-
ton. He asked the witness whether
in his experience as an instructor at the
college he had known Of instances
where students had answered at roll
call for other students who were not
present.
The defense at once interposed an
objection and the court was placed in
the predicament Of having to rule on
his own question. The judge said that
while he might permit the question to
be answered if it should come from
the proper source. he would sustain the
objection for the present.
Then District Attorney Barnes asked
the same question and the defense in
terposed another objection. Attorney
Dickinson argued that while it was
possible to call into court every student
who attended the lecture and ask each
one if he answered at FOIL call for Dur
rant, it would be unfair to cast sus-
picion on the particular roll call in
question by any practice or custom
that might have obtained at another
time. The court said that it believed
the question proper and the evidence
sought competent, but for the sake of
safety sustained the objection.

Interests Is Predicted

Harmony OF Action Among the Various
Interests Is Predicted.
Tacoma, Wash, Oct. 2.-Brayton
Ives, president of the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company, in an interview to-
night regarding today's proceedings,
said:
Judge Hanford's action marks the
termination Of receivership which In
many respects is unique in the history
of American railroads. formed as 1t
was to perpetuate the influence of
wreckers, it secured, or at all events,
1t seemed to the public to have secured,
the friendly protection Of the United
States court. Without intending to
speak disrespectfully of Judge Jen-
kins, I must say that whenever we ap-
peared in his court as petitioners for re-
lief we seemed to find ourselves at the
outset in the position Of wrongdoers
instead of the sufferers Of wrong. 1t
would not be proper for me to make
any reflections on Judge Jenkins
course within the last week, as I have
no doubt he acted according to his sense
or right. 1 must say, however, that II
he had wished to shield a party Of men
charged with wrongdoing he could not
nave taken a more efficient course
oelleve, however, that Judge Hanford's
action today will result in the near ~
ture in harmony of action among the
various interests.
Personally, feel that the interests
which l represent are indebted to the
court for it's prompt, courteous and just
action"
