People Want the Tramps in South Nor

"That was good suggestion you
have made in the New DOMINION, .
said a business man this morning.
4 mean the one about the tramp
nuisance ia South Morgantown. For
more than year that roost over there
has narbored tramps without number.
All kinds Of petty stealing and small
crimes have been traced to these peo-
pie. They should be run away. 2
IF they don't want TO leave the
country they should be put to work
on the streets. The streets Of the
town can be kept clean by the work
done by the inmates Of the jail. That
they are left dirty Is due to the neg
let Of the authorities who have the
power to keep them clean at all
times. y

San Juan, p. r., April 12.-Mr.
LOOMS, minister to Venezuela, sailed
for the United States by the Red d
line steamer Caracas. He emphat-
ically declined to disclose the nature
of his report to President Mckinley,
but Judging from casual remarks
which he let fall he is evidently quite
antagonistic to President Castro. He
said that the latter's salary was $12,-
600 year, but that he had laid up
$2,000,0O0 in the last two years.

zuelans,' said Mr.. Loomis, that they
and the Europeans in Trinidad were
at liberty to seize claims in the
Orinoco district on land previously
coded to the Americans. 1t was evil.

United States government and force

there will be an election for an eight

Gilbert Miller of w. v. q. Elected
District ArchOn for the Next Term.
The Council of the Third District
Of Phi Kappa Psi convened for the
third time at Ii o'clock Yesterday
In addition t. the delegates and
members of the local chapter, mum
Der of the alumni of West Virginia
Alpha were present and took an ae-
tive part in the deliberations of the
Council. Among the many things
of interest and Importance discussed,
the question of extension in general
and of Southern extension in partic-
ular took a foremost place. The
Third District is unit in regard to
the establishment of chapters in
some Of the larger colleges of the
South, where excellent opportunities
are offered for Phi Kappa Psi.
The final session of the Council
was opened at 2 p. N. Reports OF
committees standing and special oc-
cupied most of the time. On the in
itiation of Maryland Alpha, Johns
Hopkins was unanimously selected
as the place for the District Council
OF 1903. The final session closed
with the election of Gilbert B. Miller
Archon Of the District for the ensu
ing two years.
The next assemblage of the Greeks
was around the banquet board at
Hotel Peabody. At $50 the Phi
Psis began 30 assemble in the hotel
parlors, and .at10:3 0'sat down to very
delightful banquet. The diningroom
was handsomelyfestaoned and draped
with pink and lavender ribbon and
bunting, and the table very prettily
decorated with carnations and roses.
The banquet consisted Of twelve
courses and was served in manner
that left nothing to be asked. When
the last course had been served and
cigars lighted, Prof VIM. P. Wiley,
of Pa. Zeta, ga, Svmposiarch for the
evening, arose and in his own happy
manner introduced Rev A. M. Blu.

to make about "The Shield of both

ct les Danes in a manner fully
worthy of the subject. Lindsay
Coleman Spencer concluded the reg
ular program with an interesting
and inspiring talk on ssPhi Kappa
Psi in the new century," But the
banqueters were not at all ready to
rise, and number of the guests
were compelled to extemporize.
The speeches of Swartz, of Va Beta,
and Lardin and Wiley, Jr, of w.

Unique Personality.

Yesterday morning there arrived in
Dallas man well calculated to at
tract attention in any crowd. He
was about 6 feet a inches tall, weight
about 100 pounds, on al unfed basis,
black hair, piercing black eyes, smooth
shaved and complexion about four
shades lighter than Barney Gibbs.
As he walked along the street. men
wondered VINO he was, what he was
here for, where he came from, and
thought that on appearance any hotel
would be justified in charging him
$40 day-he looked just that hun
cry. Such was Rev. Thomas Dixon,
Jr., the famous pastor of the Peoples
Church, New York. Everybody
knows Dixon now. For seven or
eight years he has been nationally re-
garded as theological buzz saw and
a PASTORAL hornet
He is one of the most unique orators
of the present day, was 35 years old
yesterday and can hold an audience
as long as he can talk. He talks as
fast as a nervous woman In church
sewing circle, aad is master OF all
arts of oratory. In one moment he
blazes like meteor, in the next he
thunders like crest of belehing bat
teries: again, he dazzles his audiences
with prodigal scattering of gems of
thought, and then pounds them with
hailstorm of logic. If there is a
double back action, reversible patent
lever, eighteen carat, web perfecting
self cooking, thoroughbred dispenser
of original chin music in this country
it is Tom Dixon. Dallas Texas

FATALLY INJURED.
student at Westminster College Terri.
bly, Hurt In Glass Fight.

New CASTLE, April 10 During the
progress OF violent class fight among
students OF Westminster College at
New Wilmington early this morning
James Bficeland, sophomore, receiv-
ed Injuries which may result fatally.
The trouble originated In basketball
game Saturday night between the
freshmen and the sophomores.
The latter won and last night they
raised their class flag over the college
steeple. About O'Clock this morning
sophomore CHANGED to see the bunt-
ing and at once aroused the other
members OF the class. The sophomores
decided that the obnoxious flag must
be torn down at all hazards. They en-
tered the college, forcing the main
doorway to get in. Assembling to the
third floor all was quiet, but the trap
door leading to the roof was found to
be immcvable. The boys were not to
be stopped and they raised ladder
and chopped hole large enough to
admit man through the ceiling OF
the art department.
Young Briceland was the first to
be pushed through the aperture, but
hardly had his head disappeared
through the ceiling before he was
struck with heavy club. The young
man dropped to the floor Is feet below.
He was unconscious and apparently
dead when his classmates gathered
about him. Medical aid was summoned
and Briceland was revived, but it Is
feared that the conclusion OF the brain
will result seriously.
The college and town authorities
were at once summoned and six
deputies were sworn In to guard
against more trouble by the wild
excited students. The freshmen
refused to quit their coign of vantage
on the college roof, even when ordered
down by the faculty, until promised
indemnity from accountability for
the injury OF Briceland. More
trouble is expected, as the members
OF both classes are thoroughly aroused
over the affair.

BLOW At OUR BEEF.
Rumored Exclusion From Brit
ish Army Contracts.
MIGHT HURT PRIVATE TRADE.
Live Animal Exports About $4,000
900 and Total of Animal Exports
About $500, ooo,ooo--May. If True,
Be Sequel to Mule Suits.

Washington, April 1.-THE depart
ment of agriculture received dis
patch from prominent packing com
pany of Chicago announcing that they
had just been advised that the Eng
lish government has excluded all beef
except home bred from the British
army contracts. This, it is stated, is
to be effective June / next.
The Chicago concern has asked the
agricultural department for any as
sistance it can render 1t has pointed
out that the action of the British gov
eminent is a severe blow to Ameri-
can beef and cattle exporters and pro-
dueers and means not alone the loss
in government trade, but it is feared
it will serve very materially toward
melting prejudice on the part OF
the people of Great Britain against
the beef and cattle of this country.
No official information.
No official information of this re-
ported contemplated move had reach
ed the department, according to state
ments of officials Thursday afternoon.
Steps have been taken, however, look
it is possible to get.
To demonstrate the Importance of
the move now said to be contemplated
1t is pointed out that the value of
our exports of live animals to Great
Britain amounts to $40,000,000, while
the total of animal products export
ed from the United States to Great
Britain is stated to be, in round mum
hers. $200,000.000. 1t is pointed out
here that this proposed embargo may
really be a sequel, in greater or less
degree, to the proceedings instituted
at New Orleans against shipments of
horses and mules from that port for
use in the South African campaign.
While this is, of course, merely con
jeetural, it is very strongly limited
that the New Orleans incident prob
ably is the direct inspiration for the
step. 1t is pointed out that If the
English really decided to take the ac-
ton reported in the adyiees just re-
ceived the British might turn to Aus
tralia for their meats. 1t is claimed,
however, that meats cannot be gotten
there in as good quality or as cheap
as in the United States.
Chicago, April 12.--Swift & Co. was
the packing firm referred to as hay
ing wired the agricultural department
regarding probable action of the Brit
ish government excluding ali but
home-bred beef from army contracts.
Mr.. A. II. Veeder, general counsel for
Swift & Co, said their London repre-
sentative had cabled to the above eff
feet and they had Immediately adj
vised the department at Washington.
They had also .cabled London for
further information. Mr.. Vreeder was
inclined to doubt that definite action
had been taken by the British gov
eminent. He expected further infor-
nation last night.
Said II Was Rumored.
Mr.. G. j. Brine, of Armour & Co.,
said his company had received ca
blegram from its London agent stat
ing that 'it was rumored" that such
action had been taken. Armour &
Co. Immediately telegraphed Secre-
tary of the Treasury Gage. asking
