THEY MUST Be COLLEGE MEN.
American Association of Medical Col
Leaes Takes Step Forward.


New Orleans, May with a record
breaking attendance both in point OF
delegates and visitors, and with many
distinguished physicians, surgeons and
scientists present, the forty-ffth an
nual meeting of the American Medical
association opened at Tulane theater.
The main business OF the association
is transacted by the house of dele.
gates. President Billings presided and
presented his annual report.
Simultaneous with the opening of
the meeting OF the house of delegates
the several sections into which the
association is divided opened their
sessions in various halls, hotels and
churches.
The endowed medical colleges of the
north scored big victory at the AS
sociation OF Medical Colleges in the
adoption of a report requiring four
full years of work in the high school
Or its equivalent for eligibility to ad-
mission to medical college. This is
believed to mean the final exclusion
from admission in the medical colleges
OF all applicants who have not had a
college education.

on behalf OF the millers that their
greatest complaint is regarding the
discrepancy between the proportional
rate on grain and -four from Buffalo
east to the seaboard. When grain is
delivered by boats to the railroads at
Buffalo, it takes rate from there to
the seaboard of 5 cents. Should flour
be delivered by the steamers at the
same point the proportional rate is
much higher. In reply to this the rail
roads say that it is impossible to send

Low Temperature Kills Most of the
Early Planted Corr.

Early Planted Corn.
Washington, May 6.-The weather
bureaus weekly crop bulletin is as
follows The week ending May was
unseasonably cool over much OF the
greater part of the country, the mini
mum temperatures on April 80 and
May l and being the lowest of May
Tor the past thi:tg years at nearly all
weather bureau stations from the cen
trail and west gulf coasts to the upper
Missouri valley. Generally light rain
fall or absence ii rain has been ia
vorable for farming operations, but the
unseasonably low temperatures have
checked the growth of all vegetation
and heavy frosts and freezes have
caused much damage.
The early planted corn was extern
sively killed by the freeze during the
latter part of the week in Missouri,
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, and the
crop has suffered from cold weather
throughout the southern states Prep
arations for planting have progressed
favorably in the Ohio valley and mid
die Atlantic states, but little planting
has been done in the upper Missouri
valley and lake region The present
season to date has been very unfavor-
able for corn planting, being greatly
delayed.
Winter wheat appears to have es-
capped material injury during the re-
cent freeze over the western portion
OF the winter wheat belt and the gen
eral outlook for this crop continues
very promising.
Very little seeding of spring wheat
could be done over the northern por-
ton OF the spring wheat region during
the last week. The reports indicate
that no serious damage has been done
10 early sown over the southern por-
dion.
Oats sustained more or less injury
from cold in the states OF the Missouri
valley.

Montreal, May 6.-The Iongshore-

the country and no settlement of the
difficulty is in sight. The rush Of
shipping to the port since the opening

and the harbor is congested with
business, which would tax facilities
under normal cond .tions. There are
twenty-four cargo-laden steamers in
port and eight of these are lying idle.
One thousand nonunion men are at
work on the other vessels, but their
work Is Offset by the teamsters' strike.

Inquest Supports Theory That a
Burglar Murdered Miss Reichlin
at Lorain, o.

Lorain, o., May 6.-Father Ferd1-
nand Walser, arrested last Saturday
morning in connection with the MUIR
der of Agatha Reichlin, was brought
to this city from the county Jail at
Elyria and discharged from the charge
OF murder which was placed against
him at that time. Mayor King went
through the formality of reading the
warrant for Rev. Walser's arrest and
his attorney, E. ]. Johnson, entered
plea OF not guilty. Mayor King then
stated that as there was not sufficient
evidence to hold the accused, he had
nothing to do but discharge him from
custody. "The crime that was com
mitted on the first day of May" con
tinued the mayor, was the most
atrocious crime ever committed in
the city of Lorain. When Father Wal
ser was arrested on suspicion, feeling
against him ran high in the commu-
nifty, and on account of the excited
condition of the public. the prosecutor
and myself thought the arrest of the
AASSNSsetis y,
might be safe from any attack that
the people might make upon him.
Who killed Agatha Reichlin no one
knows but the murderer himself ana
his God. No one is more pleased than
am that there is no evidence to war
rant the detention Of the accused"
Father Walser arose and with
moistened eyes. addressed Mayor
King as follows: 'You can not say a
word against me, you have hurt me a
great deal Agatha Reichlin is the
last person would have killed. 7
could not kill anybody. l could not
kill chicken"
The concensus OF the testimony OF
the witnesses was favorable to Father
Walser's claim of innocence and in sup
port OF the theory that burglar or
some other desperate man had CON-
mitted the crime.

Omaha, May 6.-Every saloon in the

the strikers to win tbeir fight together
with the general upheaval in Omaha
between capital and labor, have cor
strained the officials to exercise all
the powers at their command toward
preventing serious results.
Federal court injunctions and a re-
quest for federal troops to preserve
the peace if it be broken by the team
sters and other strikers are the chief
features mapped out by the Business
Mems association at q secret meeting.
