The students OF the University met in
mass meeting tonight. responding to a
call signed by the class presidents and
other student organizations Of the Uni
ve1sity to protest against the appointment
Of George w. Miles. as member Of the
taculty and chairman Of the institution.
Almost the entire student body was
present and the meeting was quiet and
deiiberat1ve throughout. No speeches
were made, but a series OF resolutions
was adopted embodying objections to the
proposed action Of the visitors. These
were. that ..Such radical action and
methods were totally foreign to all the
traditions of this institution: that they
would tend to lower the standard OF pro-
fessorship and make the institution an
object OF r1d1cule to the educated pub
lie: That it would injure the University
to nave Mr.. Miles at Its head, and that
it would introduce friction into the facul-
~ and promote it between the executive
power on the one hand and tho student
pody on the other.

After one Of the most turbulent meet
ings In its history. during which time
Chief Of Police Howard, Captain Hulce,
OF the First Station, Captain Whitlook,
of the Third Station, and Sergeant
Bailey of the Second Station, were put
through vigorous cross exan1na-
ton by the members, commits
sioner stated that It was the
sense OF the board to ask for an IN
crease in pay for Major Howard. In
addition. it was decided to pursue
thorough investigation OF the entire de-
partment, and with this idea in view
another meeting will be held one week
from next Monday. at which all Of the
sergeants OF the three districts will -oe
examined No meeting will be held next
week as several Of the commissioners
will be unable to be present.
The meeting was an executive session
and every one, with the exception OF ,'e
chief and his clerk, was excluded from
the meeting, not even the newspaper
men being given an opportunity to poke
their nose ia the door of the room.

Of the board, for time. after time those
on the outside in waiting were surprised
to hear clamorous EXPLANATIONS emitted
from the CHIEFS office, inWhich the COM
missioners were celebrating.
Before hearing from any or the VII
nesses the board considered the charge
Of drunkenness against Patrolman 2 II.

result Of which he was dismissed from

have met with the hearty approval OF
every member of the body. Fde reviewed
In datail every official act since bis
election to the office and is said to have
answered every question asked by inc
diner.ent commissioners with q reacl-
ness and seeming knowledge that was
surprising.
The nght against the gamblers and
their subsequent prosecution and con-
yiction was referred to by the chief
and he explained every act Of his in this
connection, end at the conclusion OF his
remarks the commissioners had very few
questions to ask. It seems that Major
Howard had covered every important
fact in connection with his official career.
the result being a general desire on The
mart OF the board members to petition

for the chief. It was tho opinion OF the
members that too much work Is re-
