water works, the purchase of the Elec-

will be in the line of progression. and

SHOULD INVESTIGATE.

The trouble which has arisen be-
tween Governor Sadler and President
Stubs OF the University. can only be
settled by a thorough investigation of
the case on its merits Irrespective of
the high standing of both parties.
The Governor has charged Prot.
Stuobs with IN eXtravagant and
illegal expenditure of State money in
the management Of the University
and the President of the institution
has replied by charging untruthful-
ness and improper motives to the
Executive and demanded au investi-
cation.
Both sides to the controversy are
anxious for investigation but the
House denied them the hearing. The
refusal to investigate might have
been partly governed by the fact that
the session was drawing to a close,
but whatever motive may have gov
erned the Legislature, it was unfair
to Prof. Stubs and unfair to the Gov
ernor to refuse to investigate, as it
leaves both parties under a cloud
until the matter can be cleared. The
Silver party should have either stood
by its Executive or impeached him.
Prof. Stubs should either he re
lieved of his charge or INDICATED.
There is nothing left now but an
investigation by the Board of Regent
and it should be done as soon as pos
sible.

pENNsYLVANIH's PRESIDENT.
Frank Thomson Succeeds the Late
George u. Roberts.

Philadelphia. Pa, Feb. 3-The directors
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
met at 10 o'clock this morning and elected
First Vice President Frank Thomson as
president of the corporation to ill the
vacancy caused by the death of George y.
Roberts. During the long Illness Of Mr..
Roberts, the duties and responsibilities Of
the management were assumed by Mr.
Thomson and the action Of the board to-
day was merely the fulfillment of the gem
eral expectation. IL is probable that the
allied lines Of the Pennsylvania railroad
will take similar action very soon. Mr..
Roberts was the head of all these lines at
least the most important Of them, and Mr..
Thomson will undoubtedly succeed him.
The promotion OF Mr.. Thombson makes
a vacancy In the list of vice presidents.
Second Vice President Green will unques-
tionably become first vice president, and
Third Vice President Pugh Will become
second vice president. The third vice
president is yet to be chosen. No action
was taken to-day on that subject and no
intimation was given as to the probable
choice Rumor, however, has connected
several names with the vacancy and Gen
eral Manager Provost and Presidents As
slstants William A. Patton and Samuel
Rea have all been mentioned. There is
also talk OF electing a western man to the
third vice presidency. lt Is expected that
the board will take action on this matter
at its regular meeting next week, but as
the annual meeting Is so near at hand
(second Tuesday in March, II may be that
nothing will be done until after the new
board of directors shall have been elected.

CHAPMAN ExONERATED.
The Police missiOners Dismiss
the Charge Against Him.


New York Feb. 3.-The board of police
commissioners to-day voted to dismiss the
complaint against Police Captain George
Chapman, commander of the Tenderloin
precinct, who was recently tried for hav-
ing raided the vaudeville dinner given by
Herbert b. seeley to his brother on Dec. 10
last.
Col. James, who represented the prose-
cution, filed a brief, in which he asked the
commissioners to rebuke or reprimand
Capt. Chapman for his invasion of pri-
vate rights without first obtaining a war
rant. Lawyer Hart, for the defense, ask
ed that the board publicly commend Capt.
Chapman for doing his duty.
The commissioners simply dismissed the
charges and thus upheld Capt Chapman.
Commissioner Roosevelt said: There may
be two or three points In which ] would
prefer that Capt Chapman had exercised
more discretion, but they are so trivial
in comparison to the real issue in the
case, that don't want to dwell on them. q"

murrer in part !, general sessions, to-day.

alleging that the indictment did not state
facts constituting a crime.
