Professor Hutchins' ability as a
teacher and as a lawyer was too great
to allow Of confinement in any local
field and upon the reorganization Of
| the law college of Cornell university
he was called to take the position Ct
secretary. He entered upon the dis
charge of his secretarial duties in
1887. AS secretary he was practically
dean of the school, the latter function
airy being engaged in active judicial
work. The university authorities saw
the influence he was having upon the
college and made him Associate Dean.
a title that more nearly comported
with his real duties. For eight years
he labored in the Cornell school, dur
ing which period the attendance in
creased from SIS to 225 students, while
the department facilities increased pro
rata. His success was complete.
In 1894 the regents of the University
of Michigan found it necessary, owing
to the ill-health of Dean Jerome c..
Knowlton and other causes, to discov-
er a new head for the school of law.
Their eyes turned toward the secre-
tary and real dean of the Cornell school
and they fastened upon him. 1t was,
however, no easy task to secure his
consent to take command of the Michi-
gan school. The regents granted sal
airy concessions that not another man
on the faculty has been honored with,
and Dean Hutchins went to Ann Arbor
in October, 1895. His task was to build
up. The three years law course was
just beginning and the brain of an Dr.
ganizer was needed. Dean Hutchins
had it and applied his energies tire
lessly to the work. The result has
been better than the best friends of
the school thought. Though only five
years ago a large addition was made TO
the law building, the structure is much
too small to accommodate the three
classes and the freshmen now have to
hear their lectures in the chapel of the
literary building. Since Dean Hutchins
took command, the law department.
always in the first rank, has forged
much farther to the front.
AS student, instructor, lawyer. Sec
rotary and dean, Mr.. Hutchins has not
wanted for results, which are the best
vouchers for success. No alumnus Of
the university looks with fear upon
his possible temporary elevation to

time spent at his alma mater he be-
gan the practice of his profession. He
was attracted to Mt. Clemens, Mich.
snd the law firm of Croker & Hutch
ms was formed, with both home and
Detroit Offices. 1t was not long before
Mt. Clemens people were so well i'm
pressed with the young attorney that
he was made city counselor. In 1881
the Supreme Court appointed Mr..
Hutchins one Of the board of editors
to annotate the court reports. His
work in that connection won recogni-
ton that was merited.
Judge Thomas M. Cooley was at that
time about to retire from the law
faculty Of the university and the board
of regents asked Mr.. Hutchins to fill
the vacancy. He entered upon his
duties as Jay Professor of Law in 1884,

dean of the law department-the big

is now called higher is a compliment
to his t~ireless energy, his scholarship
and the administrative ability he has
shown in building up the school OF
law. In full sympathy with the spirit
of the institution, fully conversant

the New Hampshire hills for his edu-
cation and in Michigan he remained.
For a year he was in Owosso, where
he held the position of superintendent
OF the public schools. The university
authorities, however, has seen the in

was called back to his alma mater to
instruct in the department Of history.

the Crescent City. But his relatives
cannot find him. They have spent
much money In advertising for MN
and UPON private detectives. One rel
alive, Alexander j. Dwyer, OF New
York, has gone to much personal
trouble to trace him. Last week MT.
Dwyer located King in Troy, N. T.,
through a detective agency went there,
interviewed the police and inserted ad-
v~ertisements in the newspapers, but
failed to find King. The heir to THIS
little fortune was lost sight of at the
beginning of the year. He is a man or
wandering habits, and hence the dl1ll-
Guilty of laying ones finger on MN
jIsst when he is wanted. Nevertheless,
h\ IS a we'll educated man, and is a
graduate of Heidelberg University,
Germany. King was born in Ireland
of Scotch parents. He is now a mid
dle-aged man. When a boy his father,
Louis C. King, removed with his fam
lily, to Germany. He gave his two
sons, John C. and Louis A., a first
class education. He also changed his
name to Koenig, the German for King.
The elder brother, Louis A., adopted
the paternal method of spelling it, but
John adhered to the English way.
The elder King became a colonel of
engineers in the German army, and the
government made him superintendent
of the Westphalia coal mines. He soon
amassed a fortune. About fourteen
years ago, having lost all his family
except two sons, he and they emil
grated to America, and settled in New
Orleans. He had two nephews there,
William H. and Alexander ]. Dwyer,
already referred to, and, still under
the name of Koenig, he went into the
wholesale dry. goods business with
them. Louis A. King later was admit
ted to membership in this firm. But
John, because of his unstable charac-
ter, was not given any part in the
business. In 1889 the father died, and
his estate was equally divided between
his sons. 1t did not take John long
to run through his share. When the
money was all gone no looked out for
some way Of earning a living. He
went to Pittsburg. His knowledge of
chemistry could scarcely be excelled,
and he quickly found employment in
an iron foundry as chemist, but be-
cause of his habits the firm was forced
to discharge him. Then he got en-
ployment as a day laborer. John last
fall wrote to his brother in New Or
leans that he had a chance of getting
a good place in a steel factory in Troy,
N. Y, and asked for assistance. Louis
sent him $500. John was then in Du-
quesne, Pa. He received the money
Dec. %, 1896, and started for Troy. He
did not attempt to get employment,
but started in to spend his $500. When
it was exhausted he lived like a tramp.
It is known that he spent one night
in a police station lodging room in
Troy. He got shelter also at a lodg-
ing house, and there used to tell his
companions about his former gay life
and the good home he nee had. They

and pledge myself to assist as far as

my purchases and employment of labor,
to those articles produced in this coun-

THE EAST WAKING UP

The San Pedro harbor matter is be-
ginning to attract great deal of atten-
ton in the east, now that the session of
congress is ended and the Dingley tariff
bill has become a law. Indeed it is
doubtful if any measure directly affect
ing the interests of a comparatively
small proportion of the people has, for
many years, awakened such general in
terest as the San Pedro harbor contro-
versy.
A Washington special to the Chicago
Chronicle of August 9 aids greatly in
giving the people of the east fair and
comprehensive idea Of the history of the
harbor fight and the situation as it
actually exists. 1t may err in few
minor details, but generally speaking it
is correct It declares that General AL
ger has created an administration scan
dal by his course in the matter, and says
that President Mckinley will be held
ultimately responsible if justice is not
done.
This harbor matter is really one in
which the people of the east should he
greatly interested Secretary Alger has
established a most dangerous precedent
if his course up to the present time is
allowed to stand. He has undertaken to
nullify the will of the people expressed
through an act of congress-an act that
has been backed up and reinforced by
the added request of the United States
senate, as expressed in Senator White S
resolution.
If this precedent is allowed to stand,
the interests of the people will nowhere
be safe. 1t should be understood that
Secretary Alger's action was taken in
the interest of railroad monopoly
one OF the most grasping and powerful
combinations that ever was fastened
upon the country. And what has been
done for one monopoly in the west may
be done for another in the east. Between
Car Reed in the house and Secretary
Alger in the cabinet the common people
do not stand much of show.
