PRESIDENTS OFT OF COLLEGES

A reader OF Tho News writes 10 know
II any great proportion of the presidents
of the United States have been college
men.
They have. OF the "a presidents oil but
nine had a college iucation-WasbinR-
ton, jackson, Van Buren, Taylor, Fill
more, Lincoln, johnson, Cleveland and
Mckinley ars the nine.
The two Adams were Harvard N.
Madison was Princetonian. Pierce
was an alumni OF Bowdoin; Grant was n
West Pointer, of COURSE Garfield a Will
liams man, Arthur from Union college,
Tyler. Monroe and jefferson distin-
Ruished William and Mary as their Alma
Mater, and the balance were from less
woll known institutions.
We venture the prediction that in the
future college men will figure in even
greater proportion in the list of presi
dents.
In the classification of pursuits. which
would perhaps be of interest to our in
quirer we find that with the exception
of Washington. who was planter, viii
liam Henry Harrison. who was farmer.
Taylor and Grant. who were soldiers, and
Johnson. who is described as n states
man, although the designation may be
thought to be hardly accurate, all the
presidents have been lawyers.

STARTLING STATE OF AFFAIRS.

Chicago. oct. 12.-Judge Hancey has
appointed j. w. Suddard and Arthur
Walsh permanent receivers for the Me-
chanics and Traders Savings, Loan and
Building association, for which tempor-
ary receivers were appointed last July.
A rather startling state Of affairs was
disclosed when the report Of Expert
Bard were made. According TO this re-
port Secretary French owes the associa-
tion about $3.50 900. He holds property
of the association either in his own name
or in the names Of friends upon which
there are loans OF $4,000. This is Sc
cured by mortgages en- property, the ap-
praised value OF which, according to the
expert report does not exceed $7S.000
French is supposed TO be in Colorado.

Tho fact that immigration which wns
1.3d larger in 1896 than in 1895 hos fallen
in 1857 below that of 1895. is another
illustration of the law that the number
of immigrants depend upon tho degree of
Industrial activity in this county. And
this leads to two important conclusions:
first that Immigration will increase
again ms rapidly as business activity in
creasos; second. that tho present is tho
time when the immigration laws can
be amended with the least hardship 60
immigrants and the least disturbance TO

ITALIANS
AROUSED.
Increased Taxation Causes
Indignation.
POLICE CHARGE ON A MOB
Revolutionary Cries Ragged and Re-
v0lverS Used.
ONE OF THE RIOTERS KILLED.

Rome, Oct. IA large procession of
tradesmen. headed by the pro-syndic of
Rome and the president of the chamber
OF commerce, marched to the Office of
the minister Of the interior yesterday to
protest against and confer with the gov
ernment regarding the increased taxa
ton. Premier Rudini. who is also min
lister Of the interior, received a commit
tee representing the tradesmen and
promised that all possible would be done
TO promote friendly relations and greater
equity between the tax collectors and
taxpayers.
In the meanwhile a large crowd OF peo-
rlt had collected around the ministry.
Angry shopts were heard and some of
those present tore UP paving stones and
otherwise assumed very threatening
attitude. This caused the police TO make
an attempt 20 disper7e the violent por-
ton OF the. crowd, and in the conflict
which followed six policemen were In
jured and one rlctcr was killed.
The mob raised revolutionary cries.
while the fighting was in progress. re-
volvers were freely used. many persons
in the crowd were injured and 20 OF the
leaders OF the disturbance were ar
rested. The condition OF three Of the
wounded policemen Is serious.
IL is estimated that there were at least
10000 people in the procession that es-
corted the deputat.on to the Offices Of the
minister CT the interior. The authori-
ties, IL was quite evident, had failed to
make adequate provision for maintain
ing order IN such n vast and crowded
assembly. The people were irritated al
being excluded from the building by the
carabineers, and presently second de-
tachment issued With fixed bayonets and
tried TO clear the piazza. The crowd
then resisted, the stone throwing began
and the conflict speedily became general
until an infantry detachment appeared
on the scene.

ARGUING THE CASE.
Beginning Of the Last Chapter In the
Luetgert Trial.

Chicago, Oct. 12.-The final arguments
have commenced in the Luetgert trial,
and the case will be given to the jury
by the end Of the present week. Assis-
tant state Attorney McEwar began the
opening address for the state. and he
will speak for two days at least. He
will be followed by Attorney Phelan for
the de-anse, Gnc Attorney Vincent will
close In behalf OF Luetgert. Then will
come the closing ot the state. which will
be made by state Attorney Deneen.
Attorney McEwan addressed the jury
for three hours yesterday afternoon and
had barely outlined his argument at the
hour of adjournment. He resumed the
argument this morning and will talk
all day. The state was conservative
In its assertions as TO what II would prove
on the witness stand some weeks ago"
said the speaker in his opening remarks.
I'VE made nc. boasts. We told you in
the simplest language just what the evi-
dcnce would disclose. Our promises
have been fulfilled. The claim has been
made THAI we have failed to establish
properly the corpus deficit, and suspect
you will hear much about this from the
attorneys on the other side. The body
of the crime has been sufficiently shown
by the circumstance which establish
that Mrs. Luetgert met her death
through a criminal agency. There is
no more necessity Of proving the corpus
delisti further than there would be TO
produce a house in court to prove that a
person on trial for burglary broke into
II, or TO produce the horse before the jury
which thief is alleged TO have stolen"
The speaker referred to the fact that
nearly six months had elapsed since
Mrs. Luetgert had disappeared from her
home. Then the case was taken up
chronologically and all the incidents
were traced briefly down to the date of
the opening of the trial.

The current discussion OF the waltz. and

Moral Suasion in Portland.

The pastors of half dozen Portland
churches held conference Oct. 18th to CON
slider means for arousing an interest in TEN.
perance. It was finally decided to hold a
series OF meetings at City Hill the coming
winter, and work along the line of moral
suasion. During the discussion Rev Henry
Blanchard said, personally, he did not be-
lieve in the prohibitory law, while very
heartily believing in total abstinence and in
making personal and Christian sacrific for
the sake of others. OF course he was in
favor OF the enforcement of any law because
it is law. A statement of another minis
ter present was of the same tenor Rev.
Lewis Malvern said that an experience of Is
years had served to convince him that min
lister who is unduly active in the work of
enforcement is in danger of lessening his
influence in other respects and Of seeing his
usefulness come to an end. 81 do not feel
called upon to work on legal lines" said
Mr.. Malvern.
