Akron, O., Oct. "a. - The new mu-

BLOW To COEDUCATION
University of Chicago Trustees
Decide to Separate Sexes
During Two Years.

Chicago, Oct. "a. - By vote of l3
to the trustees of the University OF
Chicago yesterday declared in favor
of the segregation of sexes in the
freshman and sophomore classes. The
action of the board is considered by
many the most radical which has been
taken in the history of the institution
and even by Dr.. Harper himself is
regarded much in the light of an ex.
pertinent.
While it does not imply death to
co-education in a literal sense, there
is no mistaking the fact that its pur-
pose is to prevent in the future all
mingling and co-instruction of the
young men and women in the first two
years of the collegiate course The
opposition to the movement which cul-
minated in the decisive step of the
board of trustees, see in the new pol
icy disaster for the university, but
President Harper believes that ID
marks the beginning of a new era
in the educational work of the coun-
try.

Big Trlumvlrate Of Ma
tions Agree.
Open DOOR POLICY
A. Urged by Secretary Hey
Brought About by Negotia-
tions = Troops 70 With
draw From Sha anahaj.

Paris, Oct. "a. From authorita-
tive sources 1t has been learned that
France, Great Britain and Germany
have concluded AM agreement provid-
ing for the military evacuation OF
Shanghai by their forces. The nego-
tiations have also brought about the
important extension of the open door
policy, rs urged by Secretary Hay.
The agreement affects not only
Shanghai but the entire Yang-Tse-
Kiang valley, which the powers are
seeking to develop for commercial
purposes. The date OF the evacuation
is still open, but leading official Of
the foreign Office expressed the belief
that 1t will undoubtedly be accom-
plished by January 1. About 1900
troops will participate in the evacua-
ton each powerS having furnished
about an equal number OF troops
since the Chinese crisis became acute.
France initiated the negotiations as
1t was felt that there was no further
need for maintaining a military estab-
lishment at Shanghai. The first stages
OF the negotiations resulted in an
agreement on two points: The first
was favorable to the evacuation; the
second was that In case, any power in
tended to resume the military occu-
pancy of Shanghai the other powers
We're equally entitled to resume their
occupancy. Germany then proposed
that China be asked for assurance Of
equality of treatment of the powers.
China gave these assurances anu the
officials here say this branch of tho
agreement amounts to am extension of
the open door policy in the Yang-Tse-
Kiang region.
Although the nature of the CONNER
cial equality is not specified, the agree
ment is that the military and other
rights OF the powers shall be on an
equal footing The, United States, ~
not direct party to the negotiations
but has been fully advised of the in
tentions of the three powers. At one
stage. of the negotiations Secretary
Hay advised Foreign Minister Del
casse. through Ambassador Porter
that the United States government
was in full sympathy with, the plan
and hoped for an early agreement on
the subject, The officials here say the
United States shares in the benefits OF
the agreement as to equality Of treat
ment. The date of the evacuation OF
Shanghai is expected to be settled in
a few days. @

LAST RESORT
Supreme Court Justice Ha nds
Down Physical Decision to
Unruiy Students.

Washington, Oct 24.--Justice Har-
Ian of the United States supreme
court, who is a member of the faculty
of the Columbian University Law
school In this city, last night inter-
fered and prevented class fight be-
tween the freshmen and sophomores.
Justice Harlan is giant in stature
and. although sixty-nine years of age,
he is still vigorous and active, golf be-
ing one of his daily exercises. The
youngsters were no match for him
when he entered the arena. z
The anticipated contest was the re-
suit of the announcement of the fresh
men class that 1t would hold its first
meeting last night in Jurisprudence
hall. The announcement acted as q
suggestive challenge to the sopho-
mores to break up the meeting II pos
sible. After the regular lecture Of the
evening the first year men undertook
to open their meeting when the soph-
omores made charge against the
door of the hall. At this point JUS
tice Harlan appeared, and in q COM
manding voice ordered the combat to
cease. The sophomores paused for q
moment, but were evidently not dis
posed to obey the order, for they inn
mediately began second assault.
II was then that the eminent jurist
took a personal hand in the fray. He
reached over the heads of the assault
ing party, and seizing the leader of the
forces by the collar dragged him from
the pile. The jurist then directed the
second year men to disperse with the
desired effect

out hard coal in all cities where IL
had local unions and said such action
would be taken if necessary for the
protection of members of the union
who had lost their positions on ac-
count of the anthracite strike.
This is President Morton's view Of
the situation: According to all re-
ports from the eastern mines, our men
are getting the worst of IL and while
the miners are being reinstated they
are left ont in the cold.
"Our organization does not propose
allowing its members to be victimized
ami as We cannot call strike at the
mines, noneunion men seeming to be
in possession of the jobs, we will at
tempt to secure the reinstatement Of
our members by shutting out anthra-
cite coal wherever we can.
Although 1t is true a majority OF
the fircmcn are members of the union
because they are forced into that Or
ganization, they have retained their

WABASH At WORK
Working Hard In WesternPsnn-
sylvania and Eastern
Ohio.

New Castle, Pa, Oct. 24.-.The Wa
bash railroad is preparing to spend
hundreds of thousands of dollars in
this city to force way through to the
great industrial plants Of Sharon and
South Sharon and will be forced TO
buy or condemn many valuable prop
critics right in the heart of the city.
A corps of engineers is now at work
surveying the route.
The Wabash will pass through the
Pearson building, one Of the largest
business structures here, and will con-
tinue northward on Neshannock ave-
nue., paralleling the Neshannock creek
to Wilmington Junction. From Will
mington Junction the new line will ex-
tend In a northwesterly direction to
South Sharon and Wheatland.
Great difficulties will have to be
overcome in passing northward
through New Castle. The Wabash
must first arrange with the city for
the abandonment of Water street from
the present Wabash terminal to Wash
ington street The right of eminent
domain will then have to be exercised
to secure the route along Neshannock
avenue, which Is both business and
residence street. When this route Is
finally secured, 1t will be practically
impossible for any other railroad TO
enter New Castle, unless 1t tunnels
the high bluffs which surround the
city.

sion of the eighth annual convention
OF the Ohio State Brewers association

containing one-eighth or a barrel.
This agreement was formally entered
into last May, but has not, up to this
time, been generally carried out. Yes
terday an ironclad compact was made
and after the first OF November no
"eighths" will be sold in Ohio. The
brewers say that as 1t is. the loss
Of the little kegs is about 65 per cent,
three times the profit on the beer
sold In them.

Raised by Method ist
Convent
FOR MISSION WORK
Stirring Scenes In Convention
Hall In Cievela nd eiieved
That the Amount Will
be Doubled.

Cleveland, O., Oct 24.-The climax
of the Methodist missionary conven-
tion, II not the climax of recent
Methodist hopes throughout the
United States and the world. was
reached at Grays' armory last even
ing when after prayer and exhorta-
tion, upwards of half million dollars
were raised to supplement the usual
amount to be spent for missions next
year. 1t is expected that the move
ment begun so auspiciously will not
cease till more than $1,000, 900 is placed
in the hands of the general mission
ary society for work in the foreign
field. 1t is precisely the kind of a
movement for which Methodism has
prayed and doubtless what those who
planned the great convention in this
city had in mind as an object to be
hoped for.
There were two parallel meetings
going on at the same time with the
session of the convention and each did
its duty toward raising the $5O0,O00.
At Epworth Memorial church about
$4,000 was raised and at Jennings
Avenue church about $4,000, the resi-
of the 5500,OOO being raised at the
armory The largest single gift was
100000 by one man whose name was
not announced, who was expected to
attend the cony ention, it was said, but
who is now in California. The other
gifts ranged from below $100 to $4,000.
The method of raising the money
was by circulating cards among the
delegates and asking them to fill them
out These pledges were read from
the floor and, the excitement of the
convention asione after another arose
and read the pledge of his conference,
will not soon be forgotten. At times
half a dozen were on their feet at
once and, the shouts of those who were
trying to attract the speakers atten-
tion in order to make their announce
ments created much contlsion' and
good natured fun. II the $1.000,000 is
raised and no one at the convention
now doubts 1t will be, it will enable
the society to practically double its
working force in every foreign field.
