kIler in His Cap"

In speaking of Miles resigning from the
board, he said that wa feather in his
cap, and that from what he could hear he
would rather have Mr.. Miles than Mr..
Woodrow Wilson in the position. Mr..
Miles, he said, is q rising man, and from
what he could see he is going ito run
up" The best thing for the University
to do was to get man of character, en-
ergy and brains, let him have studied
economics where he may. Let the Uni
yersity have president, and if a better
man than Miles can be found, get him,
though Miles seemed to him a growing and
capable man:
Mr. Minor ended by saying that the
Board of Visitors of the University was
composed of proper and capable men, who
would do their duty.
Colonel George Wayne Anderson here
arose and seconded the resolution of Mr..
Meredith, suggesting that If there was any
question Of legality the General Assem-
bly, might take some action.
Mr.. Patterson Objects.
Mr.. A. w. Patterson explained that
since the resolution had been seconded
he arose to object to it. It, he said, as
sumed as facts many things which might
be dsproven. It assumes legal difficulties.
In Jeffersons day president was elected.
to that, the election of Colonel Miles was
an assumption. Many of the Board Of
Visitors had been heard from on the sub
ject and these intimated that the rumors
are not worth serious notice. and that
there is no evidence of pre-concerted de-
termination to make this election. A per-
sonal element, which should never have
been introduced, had entered the meeting.
The name of Colonel Miles was buffeted
about when he did not merit such treat
ment, and he regretted that the name had
ever been mentioned. He said he knew
the man, and knew some things that had
been said were untrue. He and Mr. Miles
were class and club mates at College.
Pnttterson's Resolutions.
Mr.. Patterson then offered the following
paper:
Whereas, it has for several years been
recognized that the University Of Vir.
gina has in it's growth not kept pace with
other educational institutions, and

another faction made up Of men who did
not know Colonel Miles and had no in
terest in him other than they felt that
he was an unknown man whose ability
and character were in question, and that
an injustice was being done him.
Mr.. B. 3. Minor claimed the attention
of the body. He said that though his
position might not give him a. right to
speak, yet he felt he could not refrain
from making a, few very plain remarks.
He objected to the reasons being pinned
to the resolutions. He said that though
he did not know Mr.. Miles, he felt the
attack was an injustice to the man. Mr..
Miles by reputation was a most worthy
man and proud alumnus of the Univer-

When this case was ended the members

peal was made for all to remain that the
annual election might be held. but with
poor effect.
In great haste, and during the commo-
ton, Mr. Murray Mcclure was elected
president, and Hunsdon Cary, secretary.
There was complaint last night over the
election. DR.. Brooks term has not yet
expired and the election was held at a
called meeting, when large part of those
present were in the act Of leaving the
hall.

A more general view, however, is that
the measure can be exercised only on

DIR. Tuylor's Comments.
In speaking of the analysis printed yes
terday, DR.. w. II. Taylor, the Coroner,
said the investigation showed three very
undesirable conditions in certain kinds of
milk. Some was unclean, disgusting, and
unfit to drink; other milk contained pre-
servatives, and was injurious; the third
condition was one in which the milk was
decidedly below it's normal strengthen
other words adulterated.
He said, also, the test, in which four
samples out of five showed that the milk
was unfit to drink, was partial to the
milk dealers. The samples were taken
on the Saturday morning after the milk
dealers had warning. Had the samples
been taken on Friday, 1.-The Lord knows
what would have been found in the milk, -
said DR.. Taylor.

Resolved, That it is the opinion Of the
alumni of Richmond that the best inter-
ests of the institution demand that there
should be appointed for it a presiding off,
Ger with enlarged powers and authority,
specially charged to,look after the general
welfare of the University.
BE it further Resolved, That the alumni
Of Richmond having full confidence in the
ability and discretion Of the Board Of
Visitors, respectfully request the said
board to give consideration to this matter
and act upon it as their Judgment may
seem best.
Continuing. Mr.. Patterson said he knew
there was something radically wrong with
the management of the University, but
there was no rea son for looking with sus-
picion and distrust upon the board.
Mr. LangbourHe Williams arose to sec
! ond this resolution and suggested that
Mr.. Merediths resolution be. handed back
to him. He said the professorship and the
presidency Of the institution were different
things, and that the University should
| shake off, the old spirit.
MIR N. AshbJ jones' Views.
Rev. NJ. Ashby Jones spoke against the
Meredith resolutions. He said it was poor
policy for the association to entertain
personal protests. IF Colonel Miles is
opposed this year, Colonel Somebody-else
will be opposed next year. Colonel Miles
is so placed now that if his name should
be considered he would probably resign
If the man was low, his record bad. and
his character weak, this almost involun-

charges had been made against Colonel
