Trustees OF Indiana University
"shalI provide for the tuition free OF
charge, of two students from each
county in this State to be selected
by the Board of County Commits
sioners.
There are now no fees for attend
ing the University, except i'd the
School Of Law. Here the fees are
$37 80 a year, or $1O2 90 for the
full course of three years. The
Supreme court of the State has de-
cided that the foregoing statute APP
plies to the School Of Law, and that
each Of the counties OF this State
has right to send two students to
this school free of tuition.
ANY county in this State may,
therefore, select and send to this
| Law School two students free OF tu-
ition.
The regular course in the law
school requires three years for grad
uation. AT the completion OF the
course the student receives the de-
gree of l.. l., Il. Candidates for
this degree must have diploma
from a commissioned High school
or give satisfactory evidence Of hav-
ling received a preliminary educa-

z. z. Survey to vincennes Began
Wednesday.

The survey of the proposed cleo
trio railroad from Jasper to Vim
cennes, by the Southern Indiana
Traction Co., was begun on We'd
nesday at Jasper. The engineer
corps is made up as follows: E. +.
Cox, one Of the directors, of Worth
ington, chief engineer in charge;
John Ersinger, Of Sullivan, Asst;
f. E. Chappell, Sec'y Of the COM
pany; Jos. Carr, Frank Wilson,
Eugene Taylor, Carl Wyatt, all Of
Petersburg; Kerr Traylor, John
Hoffman and John Nohr, OF Jasper,
composing gentlemanly and thor
oughly competent engineer corps.
The survey was begun at Lake
Calumet and line run south down
Mill street to Sd at Kastner's hotel
thence west out Sd street as far as it
extends, and then through the level
country west to the Lechner farm.
On Thursday morning they con-
tinued the survey on west to Ire
land, and are now on the road from
Ireland to Orwell.
The company starts in business
way, and has decidedly the best
railroad proposition for the people
Of Jasper and vicinity, as we'll as
the people all along the proposed
line. The completion Of this road
will insure a prompter service and
cheaper freight rates to all outside
points from Jasper, as it will bring
in competition, at its crossings and
terminals, six Of the great trunk
lines Of the country-which no 9TH
or road proposed to our people car
do. 1t will double the trade and
business Of Jasper in year after /,
is built, and add to the chances fol
remunerative work Of every labor
ing man in the town, and the con
sequent increase Of trade Of the bust
ness men. The company should
receive every encouragement pos
sible by our people. Unfortunately
for themselves and the town som,
OF our citizens do not view it in THU
light.
These citizens contend that thu
building Of the road would detrac
from the trade Of Jasper to Irelan,
and Orwell most OF the farming in
terest which now trade here. Thi
argument will cut both ways. !
the people west Of Jasper, who ar
interested in the success Of tn
Traction Co., get it into their head
that Jasper business men prevente
them from getting the road, the
will divert all their trade from Jas
per to Huntingburg, as it is but
little longer road to the latter place
and they will naturally go where in
terests are mutual, and Jasper wi
be left at one side. Ten years az
Jasper enjoyed all this trade. No
at least one-half of il goes to Hun
ineburg, and our business me
should seriously question If this WI
not brought about by their apath
when any railroad west Of Jasp
was talked Of. The Traction con
pany is composed Of men able
build and own the road themselve
and as they have gone into it wi
build somewhere, and that som
where should be Jasper.
Other roads are now talked Of, Il

ADMITS HIS CULT
Music Teacher Miller Con-
fesseS to Killing Miss Jennett.
TELLS HOW HE DID IT
Saw the Ratchet and the Sug-
geStion Followed.

Detroit, Mich, April n.-Prof. Joseph
N. Miller at y o'clock confessed to COM
hitting the murder of Carrie NJ. Jennett.
After Icing in the sweat box one hour
and twenty minutes. Miller II oke down
and confessed TO the crime. Assistant
Prosecutor Merriam. three officers and
the official stenographer of the police
department were present. Miller said he
had had Illicit relations with the girl
and was responsible for her condition.
He said he offered to send Miss Jennett
to a lying-in hospital, but she refused to
go, insisting that he leave his family
and go to some other city with her This
he would not do Wednesday night when
he started home from the lodge meeting
he had an engagement with the girl and
intended 10 kill her. He took the Ratchet
that was found by the officers yesterday
in his kitchen. with him. He secreted
this on Seventh street on his way to the
meeting. When he left the lodge rooms
he secured the Ratchet again and pro-
ceeded to the corner of Fourteenth and
Warren avenues. where he met Miss Jen-
street and out TO where the killing was
done Miller says they sat down on the
sidewalk and talked for awhile, the girl
urging him to abandon his family and
leave the city with her. He then whip
ped out the Ratchet and struck her in
the head. When asked why he mutilated
her so, Miller said he had no recollection
of anything after the first blow until
he found himself wiping the blood off
his Ratchet on the grass in the vacant
lot.
Monday night. Miller said, he had ar
ranged with Miss Jennett to meet her at
the corner Of Warren avenue and Four
tenth street about II o'clock Wednesday
night They were to discuss what was
best TO he done, in view of the expected
birth. He said ne fixed the hour at Il,
because he had to attend meeting OF the
Wolverine circle. while she was going
to a committee meeting at Garland Re
bekah lodge.
When did you make up your mind to
kill the girl?" Miller was asked.
Last Wednesday afternoon" he ans
wered. Il was thinking Of what could
be done, and of my being married and
with family. when my eye fell on
Ratchet up at the house. It seemed to
tell the way out of the trouble, and the
idea Of killing the girl crept over me
with irresistible force then"
Continuing he said: Il felt that I had
to do something. I felt that I had to
get rid of her. She was infatuated with
me. and continually chasing me. If
gave a concert anywhere in the neigh
Dor hood she was sure to be there"
This in brief is the story of the muir
derer. A stenographic record Of the ques-
tons and answers was made.
Throughout the recital Miller was re-
markedly calm, betraying no emotion
and but comparatively slight nervousness.
He g1Ilped constantly over the questions
and passed his hands over his bald head
a great deal. but person seeing him
through the window and not hearing
what he was saying would scarcely have
guessed he was confessing to a horrible
crime.
