CHARGES FILED.

President Raymond Recommends
that Five Professors be Removed
for Insuburdinntion and Ineom-
petency-Counter Charges to be
Made.
Special Dispatch TO the InteiHgeneer.
MoRGANToWN, w. Va, April A.
The board Of regents of the University
formally received to-day from President
Raymond, charges OF insubordinatIon
and lncompetency against Professors
Robert A. Armstrong, Robert w. Dou-
that, James W. Hartigan, James S.
Stewart and Samuel B. Brown, with the
recommendation that they be dismiss
ed. President Raymond also preferred
charges against James H. Stewart and
Russell L. Morris. but 1t is thought their
removal will not be insisted on by
him.
The regents believe they are confront
ed with one OF the gravest situations
the institution has ever been placed in,
and have resolved to give every man
hearing.
The members OF the faculty who are
charged with various Oftenses will file
counter charges and will inslst upon the
removal of the president. They make
no secret of their Intense hatred OF him
and most of them anticipated the re-
commendation of the president by get
ting together a lot of evidence for their
side. One of the most prominent of the
board said tonight, the board had suffl-
clent evidence to warrant the ousting
Of at least three professors, but he de-
cllned to say who they are.
Professor D. j. Barton began the at
tack on the. president to-day by ap-
pearlng before the board with num-
Der of charges. Mr.. Barton was re-
moved in August, after he had been re-
elected at an increased salary. Each
professor VIII be called in turn. Presl-
dent Raymond is confident that he will
be sustained in every case. He says he
is the victim of conspiracy on the part
OF the faculty. which has been brewing
for a year.

THE ASSASSIN A TINsMITH.
Wanted to Kill the Prince Because Of
the Slaughter in South Africa.

Wanted to Kill the Prince Because Of
the Slaughter in South Africa.
BRUSSELS, April 4.-The would-he
ASSASSIN is n tinsmith named sipldo, a
resident OF Brussels, sixteen years of
age. His pockets were found to be full
OF anarchist literature. slpide subse-
quently said he wanted to kill the
Prince of Wales because he caused
thousands OF men to be slaughtered in
South Africa"
Hearing the shots, the station master
rushed TO The scene and knocked down
tho would-be assassin's arm as he pre-
pared to fire third shot and a number
of persons threw themselves on the
Princes assailant.
In the confusion second man who
was quite innocent, was seized, roughly
handled and beaten. After the Prince
of Wales had ascertained that the man
who fred the shots had been arrested
he declared himself and the Princess
uninjured and the train started.
This Attack is Generally Condemned.
The attack is condemned even at the
Labor headquarters here and at the
Maison du Peuple. where the extreme
anarchists meet. A leading member Of
the Young Socialist Guard was loud in
his denunciatlon this evening of sipi-
dos action.
lie Patriotic in a special edition, de-
nounces the attempt as "cowardly and
senseless. and says at will create gen
eral indignation and the worst enemy
of Belgium could not have dealt the
country fouler blow"
The Journal de Bruxelles says This
outrage will provoke the Indignation OF
all honest people in every civilized
country especially Belgium. We stig-
matize ii as the crime Of a youth OF dis
ordered brain. We deeply regret that
1t was committed in Belgium and we
congratulate the Prince OF Wales upon
his fortunate escape from the bullet of
a regicide."
Public Loudly Cheered the Prince.
An eye witness says that the train
was already in motion and when the
engineer heard the pistol he shut of
steam, applied the breaks and stopped
the train. AS the train started after
slpido's arrest the public loudly cheer-
ed the Prince, who acknowledged the
demonstration from the car window.
An examination OF slpIdo's revolver
showed that four chambers had been
discharged, but that two of the cart
ridges had missed fire. The weapon is
of tho cheapest slx-chumbered descrip-
ton. such as Is usually sold here for sh
france.
sipIdo has a round, boyIsh face. black
eyes and dark hair,
AT the examination before the magis-
trate it was ascertalned that he had
purchased u penny ticket in order to
reach the departure platform, where he
walked up and down quite q while at
the same time the Prince was prone
nadlng.
