Iowa City, Dec. 17.-The University
of Iowa faculty's inquisition into the
| late street outbreak in connection with
| the freshman sociable began today.
The Sophomores are being summoned
one by one before the faculty commit
tee and, being placed on their honor,
are being asked the parts they in
dividually played in the outbreak. AT
the conclusion of their testimony the
variance, If any between their testi
mony and other testimony in the hands
| of the committee is pointed out and
the men are asked to explain the sit
uation. So far no sophomore has
been found who would confess that
he threw the stones, the eggs or the
skunk. The inquisition will be contin-
ued until all the prominent sophomores
have testified. At it's conclusion the
faculty will hear the report of the COM
mittee and sit in Judgment upon the
men whom 1t may disclose as culprits
From the temper of the faculty it is
known that severe punishment will be
given any who are identified with the
outbreak, altho SO far the faculty has
made a secret of it's deliberations and
refuses to be interviewed.
That a great deal of pressure is be-
ing exerted upon the sophomores is
apparent from the attitude of the
Sophomores toward reporters. Usu-
ally willing to talk and generally anx-
ious to plead their cause in public.
the entire class has kept for two days
a secret the contents of the faculty res
olutions upon the class's proposition
to pay for the damage done if the fac
ulty would forego further punishment |
The sophomores say they dare not give |
UP the faculty resolutions and the fac
ulty says the sophomores are the only |
ones who should give them up.
The faculty's resolutions are, how
ever, learned on good authority to
deplore in strong terms the outbreak,
state that 1T can make no difference
to the university whether the sophie
mores pay for the damage or not, and
state expressly the intention of the
faculty to visit punishment upon the
offenders just as soon as they have
been identified.
The class has not definitely decided Ii
to pay the damage under the conditions
Of the faculty resolution but the ma
jority are in favor of doing so and II II
IS certain that the damage will be
paid for by private contributions by
members OF the class If the class de-
;ides not to pay it as a body. t.

Boone, Dec. 17.-Thru their attorneys,
Canoe & Hollingsworth, the firm of
Stevens Bros, composed of Messrs.
John and Samuel Stevens, Monday filed
petition in voluntary bankruptcy with
the clerk of the United States distric,
court at Des Moines, scheduling their
assets at about $4,000 and their liabili-
ties at $4,000. This action, on their
part, has been brought about by their
recent disastrous fire and the desire to
injure their creditors as little as possi-
bic. They have been in business in
Boone for a good many years and were
thought to be doing good business.
The proceedings are for the benefit of
their numerous creditors, most of whom
are wholesale srocers. The first meet
ing of creditors will be held the latter

WINTER SALADS

The majority of American houskeep-
ers, who live at distance from city mar
kets, look upon a salad in winter as a
luxury. 1t is easy enough to raise
lettuce in cold frame in winter, but it
is not often done except by gardeners,
who sell it in market. The average
family appears to appreciate the trifling
trouble more than the vslue of the salad
on the, table. We are not yet salad eat
ers like the European people, who ap-
pear to value dish of salad as much as
the average American does dish of
meat. 1t is an undoubted truth that we
consume too much meat. Just now the
dangers Of meat diet are being freely dis
cussed in prominent medical journals in
this country and in England, and able
men declare that the presence of cancer
and other diseases, which in recent years
have become aiarIningly prevalent, is due
to the large amount of meat which peo-
pie eat in comparison with what their an
cestOrs used.
It is easy enough to raise vegetables
for salad in a cellar. Chicory or endive
and escarole, species of endive, are
raised in this way now by German and
French gardeners Dandelion could no
doubt be grown in this way in beds of
sand if there was any demand for it. 1t
il one of the most wholesome and de-
licious of salads in winter and spring
when it is blackened and crisp. "Barbe
du capucine,' which is the wild celery
grown by French gardeners in cellars.
where it is bleached to snowy whiteness
and becomes deliciously crisp, makes an
excellent salad herb. No doubt many
other plants whose premature sprouting
in cellars when it is not desirable they
should sprout causes SO much trouble
CO I'D be used foF salad plants. The old
fashioned Connecticut farmers utilized
the sprouts OF turnips and some other
vegetables which sprouted in their cellars
for salads. The crisp. bleached, tender
sprnntes are entirely different in flavor
frem the course leaves that develop OUT
doors in the sunshine and dew.

narrowly escaped death by their carriage
being struck by fast express train on

dent of the large morocco plant of Fs

Their carriage was crashed into by the
Chesapeake & Ohio express train north
bound. Mr.. Blatz was about 26 years
old and unmarried, and lived with his

tensive knowledge concerning the finish
ing OF fine feathers by studying special
processes in Paris. He was an expert in
his line of business, well liked by the

COMMISSIONERS HARD LUCK

Merritt N. Willis and Isaac G. Elliott,
members of the Levy Court of this
county, tell tale of hardship and ex-
treme danger which they faced while
hunting on Assateague and Chincoteague
Islands, in the Chesapeake bay, on Sat-
urday and Sunday. They arrived home
Monday night, well nigh exhausted by
their terrible experiences, but were in
their accustomed chairs in Levy Court
chamber Tuesday morning.
Mr.. Willis and Mr.. Elliott we're of a
party of hunters which went down along
the Virginia coast on Friday. Governor
Hunn was to have gone, but official bust
ness prevented. Upon arriving at Chin
colleague, the Delawareans found the
weather extremely cold and the bay sea
OF floating ice. There was no game any,
where on the island. Believing that they
would have better luck further south, the
party went to ,Assateague, sixteen miles
below. Here similar weather conditions
were experienced. Then they determined
to return home, and, engaging riverman
to row them across the eight-mile strip of
water between the islands, they started on
what proved the most perilous voyage of
their lives. The floating ice iammed
their boat, threatening at every minute
to crush the craft and send its occupants
to watery graves. At times passage had
to be cut in the ice. Finally the Chinco-
league shore was reached in safety, but
the men were very much exhausted.
From there they made their way across
the mainland to the eastern shore of the
island, from which part they again en-
barked in a small boat for second trip
across the bay to the Virginia shore |
proper. Although accompanied by many
hardships and much danger, the trip was
not as perilous as the one from Assatea-
que. Arriving on the Virginia shore, the |
Delawareans found railroad travel halted |
on account of heavy snow, but, being
determined to get home, they began |
seventeen mile walk to Franklin City.
which place they reached Monday morn
ing. Mr. Elliott reached his home Mon
day evening.
Both Messrs. Willis and Elliott de-
clare that they do not want any more
winter cunning on the islands Of the
