RUSHING RULE OFF
The University "Frats'' Will Be Al
lowed to Get After High
School Students.
Their Sort of Rushing Takes Too
Much Time So Sororities Must
Ask Permission.

The rushing restrictions which have
been placed on the university fraternities
for so long a time have been removed
The "frats" may now rush the high school
students.
President Northrop, in announcing the
removal Of the limitations, that the stu
dents were now settled in their work, and
that the few social functions necessary to
pledge the men would not be very detri-
mental to study. He requested the stu
dents, however, to conduct the rushing
entirely by social functions and friendly
relations, but to keep away from the high
school buildings.
The president said the restrictions
would still apply to the sororities unless
they sent a delegation to him asking for
the same concessions that had been
granted to the fraternities, and even then,
he said he would be very reluctant to
grant their requests, as sorority rushing
parties required much more work, and
he was afraid that the girls studies would
suffer.
1t is very probable that the restrictions
the school work is we'll under way.
Students Congratulated.
The president said also that he was
glad to hear that the students had made
very little demonstration down town after
Saturdays football game, and that there
were very few students in the crowd that
assembled on Nicollet avenue Saturday
evening. He said the students were to
be congratulated on behaving themselves
so we'll under trying circumstances.

MR.. WHEEL0CK'S PLAN
Minneapolis Officials Don't Think
Legislature Will Favor Removal
Of Bond Limit.

Minneapolis city officials doubt if the
legislature would take kindly to the sug-
gestion of President Joseph Wheelock, of
the St. Paul park board, that the bonded
Indebtedness limit of cities of the size Of
ST. Paul be removed. and that they be OIL
lowed to issue bonds for structural i'm
provemenrs' in any amount they DESIRE
up to one-half the cost of the improve
ments, the other half to be met by the reg
ular tax levy.
Mr.. Wheelock, believes this is the logical
way out of st. Pauls inability to issue
bonds for permanent improvements and it
has received the Endorsement of the con-
ference committee which will ask Ramsey
legislative delegation to secure such an
amendment OF the enabling act as will al
low the city to raise funds in that way.
City Attorney Healey doubts If the legis-
:lature could be prevailed upon to throw
down the bars in any such a way. Con-
sidering the difficulty which the Minneap-
oils park board has in raising necessary
funds; Secretary c. J. Ridgway admits
that it might be a good thing to have the
city meet one-half of a. bond issue out of
the general tax levy. But it would be such
a. great departure from the present sys-
tenn of issuing bonds, that he doubts II
the legislature would care to father it.
Mr. Wheelock believes that the restric-
ton of bond issue to one-half the cost OF
the Improvement to be made would obvi-
ate the danger consequent upon a removal
OF the present limit. For park purpose.
he believes the entire cost of improve.
ments should be met by bonds.

Very Venerable Archdeacon Lord, Of
Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, is at the, West
hotel. Mr.. Lord is in Minneapolis to close
a contract for most of the glass work in
the handsome new St. James Episcopal
church, now in process Of construction
at the $500. This contract will call for an
expenditure in Minneapolis Of about
$780, and the contract will probably be
awarded to Forman, Ford & Co.
While there is no crying demand for
more cordial trade relations with Canada
at the $780," Mr.. Lord says the people of
that city appreciate the benefits that
would be conferred upon the entire Amer
lean northwest by increased reciprocal
relations with the other country eve

A TERRIFIC CRASH.
Chemical Truck and Salvage Corps
Wagons Collide With Possibly ].
Fatal Results.
Lieut.. Chalmers, of the Salvage
Corps, May Die-other Es-
capes Miraculous.

Lieutenant James Chalmers Of salvage
corps No. ! was seriously and perhaps
fatally injured in collision with chemical
truck No. at Fourth street and Hennep1n
avenue at 10 o'clock this morning. Will
liam Hagman, John Duff and Timothy
Bowen Of chemical company No. 1 also
sustained serious injuries. One of the
horses in the chemical truck team had a
leg broken and had to be shot.
The fire department had just turned out
in answer to an alarm from box, 13, Sec
ond avenue S and Washington, and
the chemical truck had left it's quarters In
the new fire department station, less than
a block from the scene of the accident.
The hook and ladder from that house was
ahead of them and passed on down Fourth
street. Just as the chemical truck at
tempted to cross Hennepin avenue, sal
wage corps No. l, which was coming down
Hennepin at high rate Of speed, crashed
into the truck.
The force of the collision threw the
men from their seats and several Of them
struck the curb stone. Lieutenant Chal-
mers, who had charge Of the salvage
corps, was thrown heavily to the pave
ment and the wheels Of the. chemical
truck passed over his body, injuring him
internally. Hagman, Duff and Bowen, of
the chemical company, were also thrown
to the pavement and received painful cuts
over his right eye. Duff's hands were
badly cut while Bowen received painful
injuries to his knees.
After the smash, Driver Joe Hughes of
the insurance patrol regained his seat and
proceeded to the fire with the salvagers.
Meantime Lieutenant Chalmers was car
ried to the insurance patrol station and
was later removed to St. Barnabas hos
pital. He has frightful cash across the
lower part Of the abdomen and is horri-
bly, bruised in the chest
While the salvage corps wagon sus-
! tained no more serious injury than a few
broken spokes, the chemical truck was
put completely out of the running. Its
tires were torn off and the wheels baby
wrecked.
Hughes, the salvage corps driver, was
| thrown fully forty feet from his high
seat by the force Of the collision, and re-
| marked afterward hat he thought he was
| never going to reach the ground. When
he struck he was practically unhurt, how
ever, and still held his pipe in his mouth
and his whip in his hand.

CONFESSIONS OF COHEN
The Redoubtable ''Reddy''. Has Now
Become Trump in the
States Hand.

It is expected that the confession Of
Joseph Cohen will materially smooth the
way for County Attorney Boardrnan in the
event Of any further municipal trials.
Whether there will be any more is not
certain. All who have been indicted have
been convicted except Mayor Ames, who.
at last accounts, was in Louisville and
former Captain Charles Hill, who is in
Wisconsin,.
Cohen could give damaging testimony
against either and could doubtless put the
authorities in position to get other valua-
able evidence. And should it be necessary
to retry Colonel A1nes and Divers other
persons, Cohen could be very useful.
It is hardly believed that any of the
other cases will be pushed unless the con-
victions now in the supreme court fail to
hold. 1t was stated in court yesterday
that Cohen was willing to tell the authori-
ties all he could of the manner in which
the Ames gang did business.

NO. COS LITTLE Squirt
Great Western Enqlne, Started by Small
Boy, Takes a Five-MiIe


Boy, Takes a Five-Miie
Spin.
A West St. Paul boy, who had watched
men in locomotive cabs, had noticed that
when the man pulled handle the engine
always felt encouraged to jump along a
little more rapidly. Sunday afternoon this
boy climbed into a locomotive that stood
painting nervously in the Chicago Great
Western roundhouse at Livingston
avenue. The handle was in the right
place. The boy managed to pull it
"clean over as the man did. The
engine was so tickled that it jumped a
yard in the air and snorted, as it started
on run for the big doorway. This
frightened the lad. He jumped just in
time. To the wipers and oilers that came
rushing into the roundhouse he suggested
that he'd scared the engine, but. Of
course, he didn't mean to. BY that time
"old No. CO.. was half a mile on its way
to Oelwein, Iowa.
The employees boarded another engine
and started after CO. But the runaway
had made five miles over the main track
fortunately clear-and was within fifty
feet of an open switch below South st.
Paul before the second engine could
couple on to the flying tender. reverse, and
permit a fireman to climb into sos cab
and push that handle back again. The
sidetrack was full Of loaded freight cars.

BOARD DID ITS BEST
Says It Did Not Favor Spectators
in Selling Tickets for satur-.
days Game.
~" Athletic Board Doesn't Relish
*: Criticisms-1ts Side of 4
" the Case.

Members Of the University Board of
Athletic Control do not relish criticism of
the way. seats for the Minnesota Wiscon-
sin game were disposed Of They
especially object to reports that they
played into the hands of the specula tors.
They make out a strong case to prove that
they did all they could under the ctrcum-
stances to prevent speculation and to
make a fair distribution of seats.
A general rule of not more than ten
seats to a purchaser was made, and in
,structions We're given to ticket sellers not
to sell any seats to persons suspected Of
being SPECTATORS: On this score tickets
We're refused to number of Would-be
purchasers: =. sr.;-. -. -: =. '..
An effort was also made to keep tab
on the sales independently of the sellers
and thus prevent spectators from get
ting tickets. In some exceptional cases
as high as twelve to fourteen tickets were
sold at Voegelrs to persons known to be
bona fide purchasers.
The university athletic management
would like to know of some way to pre-
vent spectators getting tickets. Nc
number limit will absolutely prevent spec
ulation. 1t is possible that another year
some elaborate method of selling tickets
only on written applications will have to
be adopted. both to prevent speculation
and to give all an equal opportunity.
AS to complaints of early buyers OF
their inability to get desirable seats, the
board reminds the public that seats were
placed on sale at two places in Minneapolis
and one in st. Paul. This division, to-
gether with the seats sent to Madison
seats legitimately reserved for members
of the team and the complimentaries nat
urally made the number Of seats aVa1la bic
in the cent? al grand stand section, Wher
the sale opened, somewhat limited. But
| good seats elsewhere could be had as late
as Wednesday evening, thirty-six hours
after the sale began. ..,",
The management maintain that they die
the best that could be done with diff
cult problem and acted with the single
purpose Of serving the public satisfactor'
lily.

HE BOUGHT NO CIGARS
Campaign Expense Bill of Mayor
Elect Doesn't Show ANY.

Mayor elect James c. Haynes spent
s731.S1 in securing his election as mayor.
:Of this sum he placed $500 in the hands of
the democratic campaign committee and
the remainder he distributed in various
ways recognized by politicians. A careful
examination of the statement fails to dis
close that he bought any cigars. This is
most unusual-but it may account for his
big vote.
Alonzo Phillips makes an affidavit to the
effect that his losing campaign for seat
in the legislature cost him $3.50, of which
$50 went to the campaign committee
Charles Fust, the only democrat from
Hennepin county to secure place on the
Hennepin delegation, spent s1O6, showing
that it Is cheaper for a democrat to win
in the thirty eighth district than to be
defeated in the forty-firs

.CLUADE M'FALL MISSING
Young Man Went to North Dakota and
Has Not Been Heard From
Since,

J. B. McFall, blacksmith at p West
ern avenue. is greatly worried over the
disappearance of Cloude McFall, his II
year-old son who left early in September
to go to North Dakota to thresh. Every
effort to find him has proved futile.
Young McFall was employed by farmer
named Williams near Golden Valley and
had several months to work on seven
months contract, but his employer allowed
him months vacation to try threshing.
The boy went to Mona, N. d. where he
found employment. Later he sent for
some clothing, but nothing more has been
heard from him.
Mr.. McFall fears the boy has met with
an accident, as q considerable sum OF
money is still due him from Mr.. Williams
and he has not tried to collect 1t.
