SIX DAYS PER WEEK.
Students at the University May Have
to Work Harder.

The university faculty met in the Office of
President Northrop yesterday afternoon and
transacted considerable business. Upon the
suggestion Of Prof. Charles L. Wells of the
department of history, several matters were
taken up, which, If adopted as they are likely
to be at future meetings, will change the af-
fairs of the institution to a marked degree
One of his ideas was that six days work per
week, instead Of five, in all departments of the
institution be required This is now the rule
in the colleges of law medicine and engineer
Ing, and 1t is proposed to extend the rule to
the college of science, literature and the arts
Another suggestion was that the college year
be divided into semesters instead of the present
plan of having three terms per year. Dr.
Wells also proposed that q given subject oc-
cupy the same hour throughout the year. For
example, il history comes at the first hour
during the first term, 1t shall continue at the
same time. 1t was suggested that five studies
be required per term, instead of four, and that
each study come but three times per week in
stead of four, at present.
These suggestions are somewhat radical but
are following the University of Michigan and
other more Eastern Institutions. In their dis
cussion the members Of the faculty seemed to
think we'll Of them. On motion, the entire list
of recommendations were referred to the COM
made member of that committee for their
consideration.
The matter Of degrees in the college of en-
cheering was considered. According to the
present rule, the degree of bachelor of engi-
neerlng is given at the completion of four
years of work, and the degree of engineer
upon the completion of post graduate course
neer at the completion of the regular course
and grant the degree master of engineering
upon two years post graduate course. Mat
ter referred to the committee on degrees.

OTIS BILLINGS ARRESTED.
Pretty Little story Behind a Perjury
Charge.

Otis L. Billings an attorney of this city, was
arrested yesterday morning and arraigned in
the police court on the charge Of perjury, and
thereby hangs an interesting tale. There is
trouble Of a decidedly warm nature on be-
tween Frank Larrabee and Col. w. f. Dodge.
local attorney for the Great Northern road
The arrest of Billings is the first development
which has been made public in the matter.
The arrest was made complaint of Col.
Dodge who states that said Billings falsely
testified before the grand jury Feb. 49, charg-
ing Col. Dodge and Assistant Claim Agent
Howard, of the Great Northern road, with at
tempting TEN to bride a Juror in Wright county
last December. The affidavit of Billings,
which was presented to the grand jury, and
which forms the basis of the complaint, states
in substance the following:
In the personal injury suit of Czech against
the Great Northern road, tried last November,
in Wright county, before Judge Elliott, F. D.:
Larrabee was attorney for the plaintiff, and
Dodge for the defendant; that said Dodge did
make an agreement with said Billings, by
which Billings was to make an agreement
with one Earnest Otto, member Of the jury
trying the case, to pay Otto 500 II he would
hang the jury; that Dodge promised to pay,
and did pay Billings, $50 for the services rem
dered, although Ottos alleged attempt to hang
the jury failed and plaintiff was awarded a
So, 900 verdict
The attempt to indict Dodge before the Hen
nepin county grand jury last Wednesday
failed and the body found no bill against
Dodge who now takes the means above re-
lated to retaliate. Mr.. Larrabee, in addition
to the affidavit which Billings made for him,
hectares tnaC ne also mas an amGaVlt from
Otto confirming all the points in Billings af-
1davit, except the statement that Otto agreed
to undertake to hang the jury for a considera-
ton. Mr.. Larrabee also states that both Of
these afldav1ts were presented to the Henne-
pin county grand jury, and when he heard
that no bill had been found he went last night
to Buffalo, Wright county, for the alleged pur-
pose OF swearing out warrant for the arrest
of both Dodge and Howard on the charge Of
bribery, with the intention of having them
bound over to the next grand jury of that
county.
Larrabee further states that he will push the
case to the bitter end and present the matter
to every grand jury that meets in either Hen
nepin or Wright county until the case is out
lawed He is very decided in the stand he has
taken, and says he does not propose to let ANY
bluff be worked on him If he can help it.
1t was Mr.. Larrabees original attention not
only to have Col Dodge and Claim Agent How
ard indicted, but he declares that he will take
steps as soon as possible to have Col Dodge
disbarred. Billings is now in charge of the
sheriff.

In the Brockwayyt Case-ARecting
Scene In Court.

TRENTON, N. j., Feb. N.-William E.
Brockway's trial for counterfeiting was con-
tinued today in the United States district
court. Wagner, one of his alleged confeder-
ates, was placed on the stand closing the
testimony for the defense, and the govern
ment recalled Ulrich, who contradicted all
the explanations made by Mrs. Smith and
Wagner, tending to establish their innocence

trict Attorney Rice summed up for the gov
eminent. The case willNprobably go to the
jury late this afternoon.
At 1920 O'Clock this evening the jury re-
turned with verdict of guilty as to the
three defendants, with a recommendation to
mercy in the case Of Wagner. The guilt of
Brockway and Mrs. Smith was determined
upon Immediately after the jury's retire
ment, but three hours were consumed in de-
iberating over Wagner's case. The scene in
court was pathetic when the verdict was
reached. The room was GInly lighted and
on table lay all the counterfeiting parapher-
MALTA, which has played such an important
part in the trial. Mrs. Smith was sobbng
vainly tried to console her. Mrs Wooden.
Brockway's granddaughter sat upon the old
mans lap, with her arms about him. She,
too was weeping, but Brbckway was the
calmest person in the room. Judge Green
thanked the jury and said the recommends
ton in Wagner's case would be considered.
He announced that no sentences would be
imposed until counsel for the defense had
been given an opportunity to- present rea-
sons why he should exercises clemency The
extreme penalty is am imprisonment of If
teen years and a fine Of i$5 600 on each of the
ten counts in the Indictment.

SUDDENLY STRICKEN.
Death of Henry NJ. TaIlman, an Esti-
mab1e Citizen.

N.
Henry M. Tallman died very suddenly at his
residence, 3210 First avenue SOUTH last even
ing, of heart failure. He had not been in good
health for several months, but his condition
was not regarded serious. He was suddenly
attacked last evening and died before his
physician could reach him. Mr.. Tallman was
agent of the American Book company for Min
nesota. North Dakota and st. Louis. He was
born in New York state in 1899, graduated at
the Lima On. " college and served during the
civil war in the Twenty-second New York
cavalry In 1870 he removed to st. Louis
where for about fifteen years he was principal
of the Carroll school. While in that city he
married Miss Sarah Handy, who, with three
sons and daughter, survives him, as does
also a younger brother. In 1890 Mr. Tallman
came to Minneapolis, where he has since
lived. He was possessed of many sterling
and amiable qualities and the announcement
of his death will be profound shock to his
friends here and elsewhere. He was of an un-
usually genial, sunny nature, and one Of those
helpful generous souls that find their highest
pleasure In contributing to the happiness and
tightening the burdens Of others. He idolized
his family, and they him, and never yet did
death infict a more cruel blow upon the low
ing hearts of wife, children and friends
