THE INTERNATIONAL
 PRESIDENT IS HERE
James M. Lynch of Typograph- icaI Union Comes to Effect
 Settlement of Strike.

President James M. Lynch of the Inter national Typographical Union arrived in the city last night and will make an effort to effect a settlement of the strike now on between some of the job offices of the cit 7 and local union, No 104.
 MT. Lynch comes in answer to summons of the local committee, and 1t is believed that matters will be settled in a short time
 MT. Lynch was only recently called 10 the head of the International and has al- ready taken rank among the most intelli- gent and conservative of the big labor leaders He is man of striking personal appearance and talks most interesting. He was met at the depot by the local commit tee and was taken to headquarters, where he met a number of the local printers. When seen by an Age-Herald reporter he refused to discuss the local strike beyond the statement that he came to try and ef- feet a settlement in behalf of the men and hoped to be successful.
 In speaking of the union, he said that its growth in the South was most satis- factory to the International officers, and that he hoped soon to make a trip through the South and visit the various locals.
 MT Lynch will probably be here for sev- eral days, and will stop in Nashville on his return to Indianapolis.

POLICE COURT.
A Foreman Fined $1o0 by Judge Weaver
 Other Cases.

F. E. Shelton, foreman in charge of the works of excavation for the Hillman Hotel, was fined@$100 in the Inferior Criminal Court yesterday on the charge of carrying concealed weapons, preferred by Capt. Frank s. White.
 It appears that an order has been issued excluding all persons except those employ ed on the work from the premesis, and it seems that in passing along Captain White was impelled by curiosity to step inside the enclosure and was ordered out by Shelton. Words ensued, and it is alleged that Shel- ton pulled pistol. Shelton is a stranger in the city, having come here recently from New York State, and says that he regrets the occurance.
 Judge Weaver, who is presiding in the absence of Judge Feagin , who is ill., tried quite number of other cases yesterday.

 State, and that the investigation cover my entire career"
 Students Made Statement.
 When the faculty convened on Decemben 10 to investigate the troubles that began on the night of December Cadets Me- Queen, Drennen, Stickney, Chapin. Holman bfoWn were given permission to make statements of their grievances The sub stance Of the greater portion of these com- plaints have been published in the Age Herald. At the beginning of his statement Cadet Mcqueen said that he first desired to remove the impression that the action or the students was a movement against all military regulations. but that it was only against certain objectionable ones as they were then enforced. He said every body in the barracks was ready to go up- der military regulations as soon as they could get redress from present grievances. Then followed statements to the effect that the students lacked confidence in Pres ident Powers; that he showed partiality towards students who were members of families of political influence and various others of a less serious nature. Command ant West was charged with being too se- Vere of forgetfulness and of overwatch- fitness.
 The day following President Powers and Commahdant West made statements be- fore the faculty in reply to the charges brought by the students. Dr. Powers asked for the fullest possible investigation of all the charges made against him by the boys and denied that any petition ever presented to him by any of the students had been pigeon-holed by him.
 Commandant Vests statements were in refutation of the complaints the cadets had made against him.
 Board of Trustees.
 The full proceedings of the faculty meet ings were taken before the trustees who met in emergency on December A. No other testimony was taken and the trustees, as is known, declined to take any action one or another. There the matter rested until Monday, when President Powers and Commandant West rendered their resigna- tions. The students felt good over the de- parture of the commandant and celebrated the event that night by the shooting off of a few fireworks.
 In discussing the rebellous conduct of the cadets a member of the faculty said: Strict discipline and a tactless command ant were partially to blame, but primarily the trouble is in the system and under any commandant the troubles would have come. The system must be changed. But that will entail great loss 10 the Univer- sity, as the barracks cannot be used for any other purpose, or if remodeled consid- erable-space would be lost.'
 Politics.
 Politics has played a considerable part at the University for a number of years past The annual commencements have always served to bring together a great number of politicians from different por- tions of the State. If the recent revolt will result in the elimination of politics from that institution it will have served a good part.

Charles W. Hooper, Jr., chief stockl1eep- CT for McMillain-Lee Company, wholesale grocers, met with a painful accident yes- terday afternoon which came near costing him his life.
 The accident, which was peculiar one, happened at the warerooms of the firm in First avenue about 3:3O o'clock and was due in a measure to his own thoughtless- ness, although there was no possible way that such serious consequences could be anticipated.
 The firm, which does an extensive busi- ness, occupies the three floors of the large double building just below Eighteenth street, and has recently had constructed a chute leading from the top to the ground floor to facilitate the handling of goods There is a trapdoor at the second floor which Is kept closed when the chute is not in use,

How it Happened.

Yesterday afternoon young Hooper was engaged in bringing down a quantity of goods on the elevator, and after completing his work, remarked to Captain Lee, who was with him, that he believed he would go down stairs in a hurry. Suiting his ac- tons to his words, he jumped into the chute and started towards the lower floor at perilous rate of speed. As he neared the bottom of the chute Captain Lee mo- ticed that he stopped rather suddenly, and called to him, asking if he was hurt. At first there was no reply, but when Captain Lee repeated his question young Hooper requested that he send for a doctor.
 The alarm was given and Captain Lee and others about the building ran to the chute and found that a splinter about thirty-six inches long had entered the young mans back at the base of the spine, and after following the spinal col umn for about twenty-four inches came out between the shoulders.
 Suffered Intense Pain.
 Young Hooper was suffering intense pain and was removed to Copeland & Berry's Infirmary in Fourth avenue, where the splinter was removed It was necessary to split open the back in order to get it out The surgeons found that in entering the body the splinter struck the spinal column, which changed its course and prevented 1t from going straight through the body, thus saving his life. Parts of the splinter em- bedded themselves in the back bone and had to be abstracted with tweezers.
 The young man stood the shock remark ably well and soon recovered from it, and at late hour was resting easy.
 He is a nephew of Charles w. Hooper of Selma and is about 21 years of age His mother is at present in New York; and for fear of alarming her she was not notified of the accident, as the physicians expressed the opinion that the young man would soon recover.

NO FAITH IN BRYAN.
G. l. Miller Of Omaha Denounces the
Democratic Leader.

Omaha, Aug. 13.Dr. George
L. Miller, for thirty years a
leader of the democratic forces in
Nebraska, the founder of the old
Omaha Herald, is a most uncom-
promising foe to Organism. He
said today:
| know BRYAN as we'll as any one
can know him, for have worked
with him in his early political
days and have been in touch with
his actions of more recent years.
| have no faith whatever in his
sincerity, because | credit him
with more than ordinary intelli-
gence.
He knew the fallacy of the free
silver proposition when he first
thrust it upon the party in his
state, but he insisted upon max
ing it a political issue, for, with
panther-like quickness, he real
zied that it could be readily EN-.
ployed to delude people, who
at that time were suffering uni.
versal business depression.
The primary objection to Bry
an is his continuous assault upon
the established institutions of hi:
country, his unremitting attacks
upon our citizens, who happen tt
own something, his opposition t.
the rights of our courts and hi:
implied carlessness as to the pre-
servation of law and order.
