Atlanta, Ga, April cit is believed
here tonight, by those in possession of
facts, that the relations between the va
rious labor organizations, whose members
are employed on the Southern Railway
and the officials of the road are SO strain
ed that a break may occur in a few days.
The telegraphers on the system are now
voting strike" or mo strike" for a
settlement of the grievances and the re-
suit will be known probably by Saturday

Delegations representing the locomotive
engineers and the conductors, have re-
Gently placed alleged grievances before
the officials at Washington, and it is
stated that the railway tranmen are pre-
pairing to take similar action. These
delegations claim they have received no
satisfactory response. The engineers af-
ter brief conference with General Man
ager Cannon, went to New York and
called on President Spencer. Mr. Spencer
was i'll at the time but promised to see
them as soon as he was able.

DR.. ALDERMAN AS YET UNDECIDED.

Chapel Hill, ~ c.. April 6.--Both Facul-
ty and students have entered protest
against DR.. Alderman leaving the Univer-

BILE. AT mass meeting of students to-
night strong efforts were made to in
f1uence his decision to remain with us.
In an interview today President Alder
man was asked the direct question, 'Will
you accept the Presidency of Tulane
University"
He replied that it was impossible to
answer the question categorically. The
honor was a high one and came entirely
unsought and unexpected. 1t deserved
and should receive his earnest and most
thoughtful consideration. He regards 1t
as just and proper for him to visit New
Orleans and personally look over the field
Of work presented by Tulane University
before deciding finally. II is difficult for
him to conceive of himself, he said, as
leaving his native State and the service
of his alma mater which he loves. No
man could be happier than he in his pres
ent work. From trustees, faculty, stud
ents and the people of the State he had
known only sympathy, confidence and CO.
life had been given to it's service, and his
confidence in its future growth and eX-
pansion grew stronger every day
Questioned about Tulane University,
President Alderman said the university
was one of wealth and power. It's tech
nicaI name is the Tulane University of
Louisiana, because it comprises also
what was once the University of Louisi-
ana 1t consists of Tulane University
proper, the Medical College of Louisiana,
Law Department and Sophie NeWcomb
College for Women. 1t received from Paul
Tulane in 1882, over s1,000,000 for the
academic department. The resources and
expenditures of other departments are
from other sources. 1t is not under State
or sectarian CONTROL but is controlled by a
self-perpetuating board of eighteen trus-
tees who are distinguished citizens of
Louisiana.
The attendance last year in all depart
ment was $50. 1t is especially strong in
the engineering and medical departments.
The Sophie Newcomb College for Women
is the most famous one south of Balti-
more. It's first and only President was
Col VIM. Preston Johnston, son of Albert
Sidney Johnston.
The salary paid is $4,000.
