OF "U'
The Board Of Control Will Assume
Full Management Of
Funds.
Agreement Is Reached at a Confer
ence Between Regents and
Board Members.

The state university is now actually
under the financial supervision of the state
board of control. A definite understand
ing was reached yesterday afternoon be-
tween the board Of control and the regents
at conference held in the apartments of
Governor Van SAINT at the Aberdeen hotel,
St. Paul. j. 7. Wyman, Thomas Wilson
and A. e. Rice represented the regents,
while James A. Martin, o. B. Gould and
S. w. Leavett, members of the board of
control were all on hand. 1t was mutu-
ally agreed that the failure of the legisla-
ture to make any change in the law left
an imperative duty on the board of con-
troll, and that body will at once assume
financial supervision Of the institution
This does not mean any connection with
the employment Of professors and instruc-
tors or with the educational policy of the
institution. The board Of control will be
the final authority to approve all vouchers
before presented to the state auditor The
two bodies will consult with reference to
the plans for new buildings.
The wording of the law gives a great
deal Of latitude, but the mutual good feel
ing between the two bodies makes it sure
that they will agree on a satisfactory
basis. The authority of the board OF con-
troll is defined as follows: r.s
THE board Of control shall have and
exercise full authority in all financial mat
ters of the state university, the state nor
NAL schools, the state public schools and
the schools for the deaf and blind. It shall
disburse all public moneys of the several
institutions named and have supervision
of the construction and betterments of all
buildings erected at the cost of the state,
but shall cooperate with the local boards
of the Institutions in the prepara tion of
plans and specifications.

OVER THE ANDES BY MULE
Lecture by HezeHah Butterworth
Before Congregational Club.

Ten years will be required to complete
the Panama canal and only native labor
can be employed successfully, said Heze-
kiah Butter worth Of Boston in an address
delivered last night at the Plymouth Con-
gregational church before the Minnesota
Congregational club. Mr.. Butterworths 8
subject, lover the Andes on Muleback
and Across the Isthmus of Panama." per-
mitted him to relate, with graphic power,
his own observations during an extended
journey thruout South America. He de-
clared that the benefits of the Panama
canal would be far more extensive than
most people realize. Changed conditions
would ensue to that degree that the pop
ulation of the South American republics
would soon become as cosmopolitan as the
present inhabitants Of New England.
Mr.. Butterworth was introduced by
Walter N. Carroll, president OF the club,
as the former editor of the Youths Com
panion and the author Of 100 successful
books. including '"The Zig Tag Journeys"
and 1.-The Log Cabin Series.''
Before the speaker of the evening was
presented 250 members and guests of the
club had dined in the church parlors.
This evening. at the First Congrega-
tional church. Eighth avenue Sc and Fifth
street, Mr. Butterworth will lecture upon
New England Fireside Tales, or The Red
Settle Stories.''

He is a member of the Sidney Cricket as

rament was conducted. This association
has over 5000, paying members.
Mr.. Alexander says that Hopper was
not one Of the -fayorites at the start. FIe
had ridden in Melbourne and had won
some money. but had attracted no general
attention. ''Maje'' Taylor the colored
rider, brought over by the cricket asso-
ciation, Robl and Dickentmann, the Ger
man long distance riders, and others from
foreign countries, were mentioned great
deal, and of course Don Walker, the AUS
tral1an champion had an immense follow
ing. Taylor, however, failed to qualify
for the finals, the riders in his heat re-
fusing to take their turn in making the
pace: Having won all his preliminaries
Hopper jumped into prominence and the
odds were to on him for the final event.
In the final, which was run on March
18, there were eight starters, including
N. Z. Hopper, the Minneapolis boy, and
Don Walker, the Australian favorite. The
interest had grown to g. fever heat in the
Australian metropolis, and there were
about 10000 present to see the race run

He was heartily cheered. : In fact, the
ovation could not have been greater had
Walker won, says Mr.. Alexander, as the
American had made countless friends by
his gentleman1y and sportsmanlil<e con-
duct. Besides, Americans are well liked
in Australia. - q
Mr.. Alexander is an "entrepreneur." or

and Is on his way to New York to book

he has been all over the world, he has
never before visited 'tthe states" and he
