zion asked Dy EXPERIMENTATION Is
Heard Matter of Hearing other
Professors Taken up.
The situation in connection with
the board OF regents changed very
little Yesterday afternoon and at
night. It has become more intense
and the feeling is running higher in
every part Of town and the Universe
tv. The students and towns people
were never SO much stirred up but
they have been very moderate con
sidering the provocation that they
feel in the unmanly and unfounded
attacks under which their instruct
ors have been placed.
Yesterday afternoon Prof d. J.
Barton was allowed to be present
before the board and present his
statement This was done but no
action has been taken so far as Civ
en- out 1t is generally believed that
they will not reinstate him but that
they will pay him part of the years
salary which he claims is due him
on account of their non-fullment Of
the contract between him and the
board
Prof r. w. Douthat was to have
come before the board last night but
on account of other business the
board postponed the consideration
of this They got through with
small amount of business and gave
it out this morning.
The following sterotyped report has
been given out for publication by

The report of the President was fin
ished in the afternoon. During the
time that he was reading it he took
occasion to make bitter personal at
tack on the Director of the Expert
mcnt Station. This became so bi tier
that the President of the Board found
it necessary to call down Mr. Raymond
and to make personal statement to
the board relative to the appointment
of the Director and other matters in
10 RI IN La
No recommendation was made in
this connection by the President of
the University. He however attack
ed Prof. r. l.. Morris on the ground
that the latter had been dabbing in
oil. AS Morris has been attending to
his own as well as the duties of Prof.
John L. Johnston during the illness of
the latter at salary Of twelve hun
dredNa year this is absurd. The Presi-
dent himself has been a dabbler in oil
and having lost his money is now
bowling at those who are more fortu-
nate.
Rumors that several other profess
sors have been recommended for re-
primands are floating around.
Last night the President of the
University went to the mayor of the
town and asked for police protection.
This was an insult to every decent
citizen in the town. This shows that
the specimen from the unwashed
west suspects the "haweaters" as he
styles them of being capable of doing
anything He can rely on his inn
munity from his just deserts on ac-
count Of the respect people here have
for the law. He need not fear to sleep
at night even in the absence Of cor
don of blue coated guardians of the
pence. No one will disturb his sleep
and the only thing that he will find
to bother him will be the craving of
his conscience ii it is still able to do
business.
