WHAT THE OPINION SAYS.

Judge Rogers, in tho opinion. says the main
contention is that the law referred to is un.
constitutional because no provision Is made
for notice to tho owner or occupant of prem
Uses, ard no opportunity for hearing thereon
is given to the owner or occupant before the
passage of the order or direction by the
Board Of Aldermen, and Also because the
Te eldcncy OF an appeal will not affect the
power OF the Board to ill ur and destroy the
privy vault Of such owner or occupant of the
promises.
This statute, being in the interest of the
public health If the city, Is, his honor holds
clearly intended TO bo an exercise of police
power, and IL it is proper exercise of such
power. both as to subject matter and as to
methods, then its constitutionality cannot be
successfully impugneu.

President E. Benjamin Andrews.

Your committee, in the communication
which IL has addressed 10 hlm has ex-
plicitly declared, not only that this was
the intent of your vote but that it was
it's sole intent; that you desired TO ex-
press no criticism of his administration
ana made no other suggestion than that
he should forbear TO promulgate his
views on the free coinage Of silver at the
ratio OF l6 to ], lest such PRONUNCIATION
repel gifts which might otherwise be re-
Ceived.
1t is not alleged that he has made
speeches or written articles Ill advocacy
of those views; the PRONUNCIATION from
which he is asked to refrain has consisted
in tho writing of letters, in answer Co cor
respondents, which those correspondents
have been left mt liberty To publish.
Believing it impossible TO surrender
this minimum of freedom of expression,
without doing damage to Brown Univer-
sity and to the general interests OF uni
vorslty education, the president has
chosen rather to resign his Office than TO
comply with your suggestions.
It was not intended that tho vote of the
corporation should be made public. The
mode of procedure adopted was plainly
more considerate than any more explicit
and public action. Yet the fact remains,
and is now everywhere known, that the
corporation OF Brown University, at one
OF their regular meetings, took action,
the object of which was TO suggest TO the
president limitation of his activities In
public affairs. and In scme degree 10 re-
strain HIM from expressing himself, as
citizen, upon topics which are Oh interest
To every citizen.
Private and individual remonstranco Is
enc thing action Of the sort described, 10y

submit n very different thing.

FIRED FOUR SHOTS.

BY this time Barker had recovered from
his great surprise He threw back his
right.hand and dealt tho tallest of the
men a blow full in tho face. Hardly had
he done so when there was report from
a revolver Tho other robber had shot ut
him, and. although they were only few
feet apart, the bullet missed its mark.
He felt the wind of the lead, however. and
before the sound had died away no was
dealt a terrible blow on the head. bis
back was almost up against tho fence by
this time, and when be fell to the ground
from the fierce of the blow no was in =

The hiRhwaymon stood In front OF him
and IL seems TO Barker that both leveled
their rev0lvers and shot him ut him as te
sat helpless and partially dazod. One shot
grazed his head. tearing through the hair
and Imbedded itself in tho gate post.
Two other shots were fired. One went

A RUINOUS THEORY.

that the material growth of university

of its president and professors and that
boards Of trustees have. IS such, the
right TO suggest limitations upon such
independence.

THE VICTIMS STORY.

Barker was able to tell connected
story of the assault. He said that as he
started to open the gate Of his yard he
noticed what seemed TO be a sawhorse
standing under row of small pear trees
which runs from the front to the rear or
the yard along the fence between Barker's
house and MIR. Regau's property.
As ho stepped beneath the trees and
was about 20 place his hand on the object
the muzzles of two revolvers were
placed in his face.
Instead Of being n sawhorse the object
was man, who was bending over and
partially concealed beneath the trees. Ho
wore a long rubber coat. This man held
ono of tho revolvers while another man,
whom Barker did not at first see, placed
his weapon against his head.
shell out. one Of them said, "or we
will blow q holc in you" Barker began
co back away and the robbers to follow.
After few stops had been taken the
talles5 man again demanded that they
have the money or they would kill him.

HEARD CRIES OF DISTRESS.

Mrs Barker. the wife of the man shot,
was sleeping in their cozy little home on
Alley street, when she was startled by the
report of four revolver shots. she sprang
TO her feet, and peering from the viii dow
OF the chamber saw two men run
through the yard.
She heard groans, and called out els
that You, Cwen?' Eyes, I" was the reply.
~ am shot. For Gods sake send for O
doctor. "
Nearly overcome with fear and fright
Mrs. Barker ran from the house TO the
gate, but was unable to open II, as the
body of her husband was wedSed nrmly
between the posts.
. Her cries OF distress aroused the Neigh
borhood, and scores of people aroused by
the noise OF the shots and the cries for
assistance hurried from their houses.
PURSUIT in VAIN.
Men started in pursuit, but the robbers
had disappeared. When the hrst detail
OF police arrived the officers were quickly
sent in all directions, but TO no avail,
and the men are still at liberty.
Barker. who is bartender for Thomas
square, was evidently we'll known to the
desperate men.
It is thought that the robbers believed
that Barker would carry the proceeds OF
the days business to his home, and they
therefore decided to rob him, and, as 1t
turned out, to do murder II necessary.
But Barker did not have the money with
him.
The highwaymen must have known his
every. movement, and the assault was
evidently carefully planned.

sickness is due to the annual visit of Ia

instances, but by rstarding recovery in
MANY others.
