NAY HILTON on w RDERCHiRGE
Pleads Not Guilty OF killing j. T. Johnso ON
and Is Remarded.

May Hutton 20 years old. was arraigned
Yesterday before Judge Aspinall in the
County Court in Brooklyn to plead to an
indictment foi murder in the first degr, .
for the alleged killing or john +. johnson
in their furnished room at lis Lawrence
street on Nov. 10. The couple were not
married, but had been living together for
more than year. They had frequent quar-
rels, brought about, as the girl said, bv
Johnson's Jealousy and indulgence in
liquor.
on the morning of Nov 10 a prolonged
and NOISY quarrel in their room was followed
by pistol shot. The ianitor of the house
entered the room and found johnson dead
in bed with bullet wound in his left temple
and the girl standing beside him with the
pistol in her hand
The janitor said that May admitted
having shot johnson because he had abused
her. On her arrest, however, "A few min
utes after III" shooting, she denied that
she had made such an admission and said
that johnson had shot himself and that
she had just seized the revolver when the
Janitor came into the room
Through her counsel she pleaded not
guilty yesterday and was remanded for
trial.

HILL TO HONOR STANCHFIELD
With Minority Vote for 4. 4. Senator-What
About Home Rule:

David r. Hill has decreed that John b.
Stanchfeld Of Elmira. who ran for Governor
n 1900. shall re ceive the honor Of the mi
norty nomination for United States Senator
by the joint caucus Of Democratic Senators
and Assemblymen at Albany in January.
The city Of New York elected twenty Of the
twenty-five Democratic Senators and fifty
Of the sixty-onc Democratic Assembly
men.
The comment last night on Mr.. Hills
selection Of Mr.. Stanchfeld, while not at all
derogatory to Mr.. Stanchfeld was that
Mr.. Hill evidently has forgotten In his
selection Of MIR. Stanchfeld his old principle
of home rule" The commentators went
on 70 say that here the Democrats of Greater
New York elect twenty Of the twenty-five
Democratic Senator's and fifty of the sixty
one Democratic Assemblyrnen and Mr.
Hill declines to give the honor Of the minor
ity nomination for United States Senator

The statement frequently made that

CONDITION OF STATE EDuCA
TiONAl INSTITUTIONS.

Attorney General Donovan has u
very thoughtful article In the Butte
Miners holiday edition favoring the
consolidation of state educational in.
stitutions. He believes they could be
maintained at much less expense and
that the money now wasted in main.
tanning them separately could be used
in securing educators ol the highest
rank. He thinks the money thus EN-
ployed would soon build up a strong
educational institution and prevent
many from going to other states to
finish their education. Mr.. Donovan
says the state made a great mistake
in ~parcoling ont these institutions but
shows some of the conditions existing
in the legislature which contributed
to this result. There was a senatorial
fight on and they were made very con
! venient for trading purposes. There
is no question but a great mistake was
made when our educational institu'
| tions were scattered about a state OF
the size of Montana simply to crafty
the wishes of the representatives OF
the different parts of the state, and Il
get their influence and vote in a sen
atorial contest. But the injury has
been done and II would seem too late
now to remedy il. Some of the selec
tions have been made with unques
toned appropriateness. such as thu
school of mines at Butte, the agricul
tural college at Bozeman and the STATE
university at Missoula. Large sum-
of money have. been expended in build
ings and they have been fostered b,
local interests in such a way as {,
make their removal a most Difficult
project. to say nothing of the cos
that consolidation would entail upoI
the state. No one could blame an.
community which has pride in the pos
session oil II of the institutions fror
making a bitter fight against its r,
moyal, and the very fact that they ar
so scattered makes it more Difficult
for those favoring consolidation carr!
ing the day. for mutual interests woul
develop a majority in any session {
the Legislature that would defeat a
movements in this direction. A gret
mistake was made but we believe an
attempt now 10 rectiry II will prov
futile. II is due to Mr.. Donovan to sa

the Great Northern, took place In Hell
ena last Monday. Just what they will
and can do remains to be seen. Gov.
ernor Van Saint of Minnesota, who
started in to fight the merger some
weeks ago. holds that the formation
of the Northern Sureties Company
was for the purpose Of combining the
two lines under n management, and
that such action was in violation of
the laws of Minnesota which prohib-
its the merging Of parallel lines. Pres
ident Hill, of the Great Northern, in
a lengthy statement concerning the
matter says there is no intention of
merging the two roads and that the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
will be operated as separate lines as
in the past. Instead of forming a
combine to raise rates Mr.. Hill says
the public will be given cheaper rates
and that a new schedule is in prepar-
alton to be published early fn the new
year. II the contention of Mr.. Hill is
correct and there has been nothing
done but a transfer of stocks and the
roads are to be operated separately,
it is difficult to see what there is to
kick about. However. the people will
watch the outcome Of the fight with
great interest. Mr.. Hill ought to be
too shrewd a man to undertake a
scheme in opposition to the laws of
the states which are traversed by the
two roads. A good many will think
he is until the courts prove otherwise.
