NO MORE DEAD
FREIGHT ACCEPTED
Eastern Railways to Take Only Perish
able Freight and Goal.


CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-2xearly all the
Eastern railroads centering III Chicago
have served notice on Western connec-
lions that until conditions change they
cannot accept any more dead freight
Until further notice efforts of Eastern
lines will be concentrated upon NOV
ing perishable freight and coal.
The traffic conditions. are said by
Eastern men to be unprecedented. West
ern railroads which are not suffering
so much from lack of equipment and
power are materially injured by the
contested conditions Of rthein Eastern
connections. Western roads could move
a very large percentage of traffic more
than they are now handling provided
there were any Eastern connections to
turn it over to.
Strenuous efforts were made today
by Board of Trade men to induce the
Lake Shore and other main Eastern
roads to make some additional provi-
sion for the movement of grasA They
were told that the Lake Shore alone
could use 10000 more cars than the
company possessed.

PRESIDENT HADLEY ON
PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS
Too Much Philosophical Investigation and
TOO Little Teaching.

CHICAGO, JAM 28.-In the presence of
an assembly of educators and alumni from
all parts of the country, Northwestern
-university's new professional school build
ing at Lake and Dearborn streets, in the
business section of Chicago, was formally
dedicated today. In connection with the
ceremonies there was a celebration of the
fifty-second anniversary of Founders day.
The dedicatory exercises were held in the
assembly hall of the new building At their
conclusion President Arthur T. Hadley, of
Yale university, who was a guest of hori-
or, was rendered a reception in the rooms
of the law school.
The celebration commemorative the
founding of Northwestern university was
held at the Auditorium tonight, when
President Hadley delivered~an address on
THE Place Of the Professional School in
the Modern American University In
it he said:
There is in these days a tendency to
exalt philosophical investigation at the
expense OF teaching. Far be 1t from me
to say one word which might seem to de-
Lnlng OF great importance to the COM
munity. and those who are engaged there
In often show themselves all the better
teachers on that account. But we make
mistake if we fix our eyes too exclu-
Slyely on research at the. expense of teach
ing, and estimate the value of a univer-
i
pc true that on real jurist is worth a
hundred ordinary lawyers; that one med
zeal d1ScoVerer does more good than a
thousand physicians, that one prophet is
worth ten thousand preachers Of the con
Ventional type.
Nevertheless, the institution which
tries only to make juristS or discoveries
or prophets will fail of giving the country
the lawyers and doctors and ministers
winch 1t wants. 1t is in the power of
the professional school; but not BY ne
glectlng its plain duty of technical train

life was the original function of the or

ROONEY GUILTY OF
MURDER IN FIRST
DECREE
Jury Recommends That the
Slayer of Harold Sweet, of
White Earth, Mimi, Be
Given the Extreme Penal
ty Under the Law.

Special to The Globe
FARGO, N. D., Jan. 2S.-"Guilty of
murder in the first degree with recon-
mendation of the extreme penalty"
was the verdict of the jury tonight in
the case of John Rooney. The body
had been out nearly seven hours and
the discussion is said to have been over
the infiiction of the death sentence or
life Imprisonment, but the affair was so
entirely without mitigating circum-
stances that hanging was decreed.
Rooney was unaffected by the verdict
and seemed to be the least concerned
man in the court room. He is twenty
three years old, bright looking and
handsome
Harold Sweet, the victim, and two
brothers, of White Earth, Mimi, were
camped outside the city limits on the
night of Aug. 26, en- route to Courtenay
to work in the harvest fields. Rooney
and two chums endeavored to hold the
three boys up, but there was consider
able resistance and the other two men
fled, leaving Rooney struggling with
Harold Sweet, who fell dead as a re-
volver was fired. Rooney was seized
by the other two Sweet boys and held
till officers arrived.
The prisoner always asserted that
one of his pals fired the shot to re-
lease him from Sweets hold. The
defense submitted no evidence at the
trial, but Rooneys attorney made a
strong argument Rooney is supposed
to have a crimianl record in Chicago
and is said to have prominent rela-
tiVeS who may assist him to appeal.

STOCK LOSSES THREATENED.
Outlook in Some Parts of Montana
Reported Dismal.

GREAT FALLS, Mont, Jan. 2S.-De-
spite the fact that during the past
month the weather has been as balmy
as spring, with no snow and scarcely
a trace of frost, there is said to be
much alarm among the stockmen north
and east, who say they are threatened
with greater losses than in years. Re-
ports from Glasgow are to the effect
that in Valley county the conditions
confronting cattlemen are most serious,
and heavy loss is already recorded.
All over northeastern Montana, ex-
tending from Chinook east, and north
from there into the Canadian territory,
there was a heavy fall of snow two
weeks ago. This has hardened on
top and the cattle are unable to get at
the grass. Feeding is going on
wherever possible, but even with that
there are many cattle that cannot be
reached. One stockman from the Pop
lar neighborhood says that the snow is
crusted so hard that it will bear up
wagon, and, Of course, cattle can do
nothing under such conditions. He
says that unless a chinook comes very
soon, the loss will be enormous.
w. G. Conrad, who has large cattle
interests both in this state and in the
Northwest territories said today that his
Montana cattle were in good shape,
but that his reports from the North
west territories were far from en-
couraging. His cattle range is in the
Maple Creek country, north of Valley
county, in Montana, and the last re-
ports from there were to the effect that
the snow was deep and frozen hard on
the surface. If that should continue
for any length of time, he said,
the loss will be heavy. Or should there
be snow and cold later in the year, the
cattle would die with great rapidity in
their weakened condition. Altogether
the outlook is dismal.

EDUCATED IN PRISON.
"Black Bart" Hiehwayman, Makes
Reputation as Writer.

MARQUETTE. Mich, Jan. est has
developed that Raymnod Holzhay, who,
before his sentence to the Marquette
penttentiary for life for murder, was
known as BLACK Bart" the lone high
Wayman, is the editor of Progress, the
little monthly paper recently launched
at the prison.
Some ten years ago Holzhay startled
the Northwest by series of hold-ups
In Northern Wisconsin and Michigan,
and finally eliminated his career of
crime by an attack upon a stage in
which one of the passengers, a Wiscon-
sin banker, was killed. For this deed
he was sentenced to Marquette for life
Soon after his Imprisonment here he
made good his reputation for daredevil
courage by holding the whole prison at
bay with a knife which he held over
one Of the keepers whom he used as a
shield. He was not controlled until
Warden Tompkins managed, by lucky
Shot to blow the knife from his hand
the fingers with it.
That was years ago, and the shot
seems to have been the turning point
In the life Of the young German. Since
then he has developed a marvellous
thirst for knowledge, and has read ev-
erything in the prison library, as well
as made study of many of the higher
authorities which the officers Of the
prison, interested in his behalf secured
for him. He has prosecuted his stu
dies with characteristic German thor
oughness and today is not only splen-
d1dly educated, but, as editor Of Prog
resS, Is making a reputation as one of
the ahlest writer's in the state.

HUSTLER OF RARE ABILITY.
Jack SulIy Escapes From Jail and Re-
capture Is Not Expected.

capture is NOT Expected.
MITCHELL, S. D., Jan. 28.-With
the escape of Jack Sully from the Da-
viSon county Jail one of the most noted
criminals in cattle rustling is free, and
it is hardly thought he will be re-
captured. Sully has been living off
the ranchmen on the Sioux reservation
Tor good many. years, and attained
such independence OF action that he
had little fear of arrest.
Last year the ruStlers were doing
very active business and an effort
was made. to break up the gang. Sully
invariably eluded the officers and wan
frequently Boosting that he would
never be taken into court in Lyman
county.
AT that time it was pretty well I'M
derStood where Sully was, and bench
warrant was issued by Judge Smith
and delivered into the hands of Sheriff
Swindler, Of this county. With two
men from Chamberlain, one of whom
was Capt. Jack Foster Swindler start
ed in pursuit of Sully, who had de-
parted for a retreat on an island some
distance from Chamberlain.
Although he was located in that i'm
mediate vicinity he escaped, but a
constant watch was kept, and in July
he was discovered in the vicinity of
Nefd1Sree, Nep. he mad a Dig punch
of cattle that he had loaded for ship
ment to Omaha. At small town Sully
was discovered in a poker game and
the officers were put on his track. He
was arrested and held for Sheriff
Swindler, who sent after him and
brought him back to this state.
Sully was not inclined to make trou-
BILE at the time. as he thought there
would be no difficulty in getting free
when the matter came into court. He
was taken to Lyman county and in
dicted. The Jail at Oacoma is a crude
affair, and there was every opportunity
for Sully to make his escape. He was
brought to this city for safe keeping.
Sully all along maintained that before
he was tried he would make his es-

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 28.-The
house today made slow progress with
the Indian appropriation bill. covering
only about eight pages in four hours.
Mr.. Burton (Ohio) hung on the flank
or Mr.. Sherman, of New York, who
had charge of the bill, and insisted
upon an explanation of every item. He
succeeded in having several appropria-
lions cut down. He furnished some in
teresting statistics on Indian education
going to show that the more money
the government spends the more help
less the Indians became. An amend
ment was agreed to appropriating ST.
800 for survey Of the Pine Ridge res
ervation, South Dakota.
Mr.. Smith, the delegate from Ari-
iona, replied to the charge made in
the senate during the debate on the
statehood bill that Arizona had re-
pudiated her debts. Mr.. Smith ex-
planned that he was compelled to re-
ply to the house because Arizona had
no representative in the senate. He
denied that Arizona had ever repudi-
ated single dollar of debt or default
ed on a dollar of it.
The senate amendments to the bill
to amend the bankruptcy act were
agreed to. The speaker appointed
+ Messrs. Hildebrandt (Rep., Ohio),
Hughes (Rep., w. Va.), and Bartlett
(Dem, ia J, members or the temporary
committee on accounts of the next con-
greSS.
Senatorial Circus.
A sharp debate was precipitated in
the senate today when Mr.. Rawlins
called up his resolution, offered yes
terday, directing the secretary of war
to furnish the senate the proceedings
of number of courts martial in the
Philippines. Mr.. Rawlins referred to
the death of Father Augustin and said
he was murdered In cold blood. This
aroused the, ire of Mr.. BeYeridge, who
demanded specifically; to know who
had committed the cold blooded muir
der. Mr.. Carmack entered the debate
and characterized the charge, which,
he said, repeatedly had been made,
that the Democrats were assailing the
army as 1.-The meanest and dirtiest"
of any that had been made against
the party. Mr.. Proctor defended Capt.
Cornelius M. Brownell, who had been
mentioned in the Rawlins resolution
as being responsible for Father Au-
gustin's death.
The statehood bill was taken up
and Mr.. Lodge spoke in opposition to
it. An attempt by Mr.. Aldrich to di-
vide the business Of the senate with
the statehood bill failed.
