All danger of the fsilure of the early closing movement was removed yester- day by the action of Kohn Bros. and Cohen, ploprietors of the Hub, who revoked the conditions under which they had signed the agreement, and notified Chairman Meerticf of tie Retail Trade Committee of the Commercial and Indus- trial Association that they would close the store with other merchants until the first of September.
 Their letter to Mir. Meertief makes cer- tain the continuance of the early closing urtil September.
 The following is the letter of the Hub proprietors to the Retail Trade Com nlittee:
 Montgomery, Ala, June 30, 1902. Mir. E. Meertief, Chairman Retail Trade
 Committees:
 Dear Sir-We desire, through your com mittee, to repeat that we are heartily in favor of the 6 o'clock closing movement, and, to substa ntially emphasize this fact, we hereby notify you that we take pleas ure in revoking the conditions upon which we cigned the agreement. AL though we are still of the conviction that our business will suffer on account of the lack of rnanimity of action amongst the clothing houses. however. we want our signature to remain upon the agreement without any conditions what ever. We shall close our doors promptly

MAY ABOLISH MILITARY
 FEATURE AT TUSCALOOSA

sideration. He has several times nrmly declined to be interviewed on the sup feet. but 1t is authoritativeiy stated that he has reached the determination 10 abolish the military system and VIII an nounce this conclusion to the Board of Trustees If e meetingNis held today.
 Phe abolition of the military feature of the University has been mooted TOT many years, and the firm stand taken by MT. Abercrombie against tnis feature of the University work will be received with the greatest possible interest throughout the State. Those who are close to Mir Abercrombie say that nc views the military feature of the institu- tion kindly only as an agent Of onysicai exercise, and that In abolishing the mill- tary regulations he will supply the Noid hy using every means in his power to i'm proye the athletic tone of the University, and will insist upon regular physical ex- ercise by every student. This would en- tail greater improvements In the Ch,Ver- sity gymnasium and an encourasement of field sports. MT. Abercromoie II IS said further believes that students should be permitted to enjoy the greatest lati- tude in their college sports consistent with good order and school discipline.
 The matter of school disciplins 1t is said caused MT. Abercrombie to decide upon abandoning the military feature or the University. His friends say he has point ed out time and again that the military system does not conduce to perfect disci- pline that it rather creates an unhealthy rivalry among the student body and has not in recent years worked to the ad- vantage of the institution. MT. Aber- cronbie, 1t is said, points to the great universities which do net maintain mill tary system and declares that they are examples of what may be accomplished by the State University with the mill tary feature abolished.
 The new State Constitution confers up- on the Legislature the power to abolish the military system at the University where it deems such abolition necessary to the best interest of the institution. It may be necessary for President Aber- crombie to secure the consent of the Leg islature to abolish the military, but 1t is generally believed that this power rests with the Board of Trustees.
 Another matter of interest that may come before the Board of Trustees today ia the reported resignation of Prof. George w. Wilkins. who occupies the chair of civil engineering at the Univer- sity It is said that the resignation of Professor Wilkins has not reached Presi- dent Abercrombie, but that it may be forthcoming today. Professor Wilkins is in Europe where he Is soon to be mar ried Among the applicants for the chair of civil engineering are Bernard Wood of Tuscaloosa and other engineers of reputation whose names are not made public

If there is a quorum at the meeting of the Board of Trustees of the State Uni- versity to be held at Tuscaloosa today, President John W. Abercrombie, the new executive officer of. the institution. will very probably announce to the Board that he has decided the military feature of the University should be abolished.
 Indications yesterday pointed to the fact that there will not be a quorum of the Trustees at Tuscaloosa today. Gov ernor Jelks said he had such a vast amount of State business demanding his attention that 1t was impossible for him to say until this morning whether he could go to Tuscaloosa; Judge B. H. Glenn, another member of the Board, could not go to Tuscaloosa Hon. Tennent i.omax of Montgomery, third member or the Board Is absent from the State and Hon. Harry c. Gunnels. State Super intendent of Education and ex-oficio member of the Board, said it would be impossible for him to attend the meeting today. Colonel M. L. Stansel. the ven- erable President of the Board of Trus- tees. recently died at his home in Car rolton. and if a bare majority of the Board should assemble in Tuscaloosa to- day with Governor Jeiks absent, 1t would
 
 temporary presiding officer.
 The meeting of the Board of Trustees announced for today is really an ad- journed meeting. After the election of Hon. John W. Abercrombie to be Presi- dent of the University at the meeting of the Board of Trustees early in June, 1t was agreed that the Board should ad- journ to meet today. July 1, when Presi- dent Abercrombie took up his work as executive officer of the institution.
 MT. Abercrombie went to Tuscaloosa last night to assume the Presidency of the University. His family will follow him to Tuscaloosa within few weeks.
 Phares Coleman, a member of the Ad- visory Board of the University Alumni Association, will go to Tuscaloosa this morning to be present at the proposed meeting of the Board of Trustees.
 Upon the election of Mr. Abercrombie to the Presidency of the State University, the Board of Trustees unanimously agreed to leave to his discretion all mat ters pertaining to the internal affairs of the institution. The matter of abolishing the military feature. it is said. was dis cussed, and this matter was left entirely to the new President of the institution.
 It s known that each member of the faculty of the institution is opposed to tho military feature and it is said they expressed themselves in the most positive terms to MT. Abercrombie concerning it's continuation at the University.
 Since his election to the presidency of the University, MT. Abercrombie. it Is said. has given the matter of abolishins the military feature his most earnest con

SIX MEN AS CONVENTION
Baird-wardlOw Faction of Socialists
Decide to Name state
Ticket.

Pursuant to a notice issued to The So
~cialists Of Nebraska" that "the socialist
state convention will reconvene at Wash
ington hall, Omaha, Saturday, September 10,
at 8 o'clock p. H." signed by W. S. Ward
low, chairman of committee" half a
dozen socialists met at Washington hall
last night and after deciding to name a full
state ticket at some future time adjourned.
The representatives who were in at
tendance last night reject the state, county
and congressional tickets named at the
recent conventions held in this city and
deny the right Of those naming these tick
cts to pose as the Simon pure socialists
Of Nebraska. Among those present were:
W. S. Wardlow, who acted az chairman; f..
H. Alexander and George e. Baird.
This resolution was adopted:
Be II resolved, BY the socialist party OF
the state of Nebraska while in convention
assembled, this 18th day of September. 1902,
That the state executive committee of the
socialist party OF Nebraska selected by this
committee be and they are instructed and
authorized TO nominate candidates Tor al
state offices and to fill all vacancies that
may hereafter exist In such ofhces during
their term of office.
This resolution was introduced by r.
H. Alexander and its adoption is attested
by the signatures of w. S. Wardlow and
| George Z. Baird.
II will be seen by this resolution that
although but a handful in number, the at
PENDANTS at last nights meeting consider
themselves the rightful components OF the
regular state convention and they will pro-
coed at a later date to act upon this claim,
go f. H. Alexander stated, by naming a full
list OF candidates to represent the social
list party at the polls this fall.
