A STARTLING
STATEMENT.
Quite a State of Affairs at the
Chicago University.
DR.. HARPER SAYS THREE STU
DENTS DIED FROM STARVATION.
A GREAT NEED OF GOOD FOOD.
MANY LIVING UPON THE SCAN
TEST DIET TO PAY THEIR WAY
THROUGH THE COLLEGE.
ANOTHER LARGE GIFT FROM
ROCKEFELLER.

Chicago, Jan. 5.-President Harper, of
the University of Chicago, at the twenty
first convocation of the University, held
at the Auditorium last night, made the
astounding assertion that of five deaths
which had occurred at the university in
the last five years, three .may DO attrib-
uted directly to starvation. His address
has created sensation here. The presi.
dent stands by his declaration, although
he refuses to give any names.
Investigation at the university today
developed the act that among the 1900
students enrolled there scores are com
PEELED to struggle along on the scantiest
food to pay their way. This applies not
only to young men, but to young women
as WELL
"rhe question of providing nutritious
food fol- the great body of students of the
university is an important one" said
President Harper, land it has been forced
upon our attention more than once in a
painful way. did not overstate the
question in my address last night, when
said that.hundreds..of students in,the uni
versity are living upon diet which does
not properly support brain WORK.
"Many--are literally starving. The uni
versity is turning out men of strong in
telligence, but weak bodied. Some of
them are moral and intellectual dyspep.
tics. 1t cannot be expected that they
will be of much use in the world. If the
body is not properly nourished the mind
will refuse to act as it should, and |
therefore hold that it is as necessary to
take care OF and cultivate the one as the
other.
''This is ~ subject upon which have
thought deeply, and nothing but the lack
o! funds has prevented me from carrying
out some.o! my IDEAS What is needed
is u place. where the students can get
good food cheaply. BY good food mean
wholesome food that is well and properly
cooked. Some Of them board in restau-
rants, which is not SO bad; others live at
the fraternity houses. where the food is
excellent, but others "batch" it ami live
en- the smallest sum with which they can
get along"
Important announcements were made
by President Harper Mt the convention.
One of these was IL gift of 100000 by
John d. Rockefeller to enable the univer-
sity to swell its income for the year, be-
ginning July /, 1898, 70 S720, 900, the sum
needed TO carry on its work as planned -.

washington, Jan 5.-Congressman Low
ering, of Massachusetts, introduesd in
the House to-daysa resolution to meet the
competition of Southern manufactures
with the North and to do away with the
advantages now enjoyed by the Southern
manufacturers in the absence OF labor
laws and similar restrictions. The reso-
luton reads:
Whereas, Under the State regula-
tions, there now exists and must always
exist great diversity OF hours of labor in
the misunderstanding establishments. and
this variation creates discrimination be-
tween the several States of the Union
which operate to the disadvantage OF both
labor and capital In many localities, con-
trary TO the fundamental theory of the
constitution;"-an
Whereas, this lack Of uniformity of
hours of labor is the outcome of State
legislation. and beyond the power of the
States to make uniform by reason of de-
cisions OF the supreme courts of the sew
eral states, and ~ e.
Whereas, unequal and partial restric.
lions disturb the equilibrium of industry
and are serious obstacles TO national pro
gress.
Therefore, resolved, That the Con-
gress of the United States do recommend
to the several States the adoption OF tn
following amendme mt to the constitution.
ARTICLE Nj Congress shall have the
power to establish uniform hours of labor
in the manufactures throughout the
United States.'
This amendment was submitted to
Speaker Reed before being introduced.
The principle of the resolution is an
proved by Chairman Dingley, of the ways
and means committee.
MIR. Loveringto-day said:
The amendment proposed is founded
in absolute equity and must find favor
with all who believe in the principles of
equality, as set forth in the Declaration
of Independence, which is the Genesis of
our constitution. There exists In the
United States "a legal diversity of labor
conditions that cannot be found In any
other nation. There is no reason. equity
or morality in these discrim mating con
