CORNELL TRUSTEES
MAKE STATEMENT
Deny Report That They Own
Stock in Water Co.
.FlFTY-F0UR FEVER PATIENTS
They Say No Fever Is Known to Have
Occurred Among Students Who
Use Exclusively Water Sup
ply of the Campus.
FlFTY-FOURF EVER PATIENTS

Ithaca, N. Y, February 2l.-The fun
board of trustees of Cornell university to-
day gave out an official statement in re-
gard to the typhoid fever situation which
in part is as follows:
1T has been widely published in the
press that several of the trustees of the
university and members of the executive
committee were stockholders in the lth-
aca Water Works company; that the wa
ter supply of the university was contain
yinated and had been one of the causes of
the typhoid epidemic and the executive
committee of trustees had refused to pro-
vide or to furnish opportunities to stu
dents for obtaining pure water. 1t has
also been charged that means for car
ing for sick students and the number of
nurses supplied by the university were
inadequate. Each and every one of these
statements are absolutely without foun-
dation No member of the board of trus-
tees owns any stock In the Ithaca Water
Works company. rhe university itself
does not own any stock in that company.
1t has an investment in the bonds of the.
company and that is the only interest It
has In 1t. as 1t holds bonds of other water
companies in different parts of the eoun-
try.
mo case of typhoid fever Is known to
lave occurred among those who have
used exclusively the water supply of the
University campus. No person at Sage
college, in which more than 200 women
students board and lodge and which is
supplied by this water, had typhoid fever
and no case of typhoid has occurred In
the families of professors living on the
campus. Typhoid fever has developed
among those students who live in other
portions of the city, which are supplied
by the Ithaca Water company with water
from Six Mile creek and from Butter
Milk creek

mostly typhoid. who are attended by fifty
trained nurses. Apart from these there

among students in the city cared for by
their friends outside the university"

CHARLIE FRANK ALSO KICKS
Semmes and Ragland Haven't Reached
an Agreement About the Montgon1-
cry Franchise, and They May
Lose Out to Chattanooga.

New Orleans, February 21-Because Of
the absence of President Kavanaugh and
because all visiting members of the league
desired to attend the races here today,
there were no sessions of the Southern
league nor of the board of directors Fail
ing in a meeting today, it was at first
proposed to adjourn until Monday, but as
a number of the me .naers are anxious to
get back to thei. A9mes, there was an
informal caucus at The track and a dec-
sion reached to have President Kavan-
augh call the body together tomorrow.
Judge Kavanaugh arrived here late this
afternoon and every club is now reported
with two factions from Montgomery and
Minis Hghtower, loaded with guaran-
teess as an inducement to the league to
reinstate Chattanooga. 1t was said that
Chattanooga was willing to pledge the
organization of a company with $4,000
paid up capital and offer the league the
same proposition as to attendance which
Shreveport made at the Birmingham
meeting. The Semmes and Ragland fac
lions in Montgomery have not been able
to reconcile their differences, but it is said
that the latter. faction will propose to
turn over the club to Dick Stickney, an
old baseball player and horse trainer.
who lives in Montgomery and had a
brief experience as an umpire in the
league last year The Montgomery situa-
ton figured in all the curb discussions
today, and while there Is apparently de-
sire to give the Montgomery people
chance to get together. If they are unable
to do so, Chattanoogas return to the
league will be welcomed by large ele-
ment in the league owing to her superior
geographical position.
Charlie Frank of Memphis said today
that the schedule committee had not sub
mitted to him copy of its work, but that
If the schedule was what it was reported
to be, Memphis would fight its adoption
Little Rock, he thinks, is getting too
many plums at Memphis expense and
the best drawing cities are to be deprived
of games On the fourth of July. Biz
mingham was said to be ready to oppose
the schedule unless she was assured of
games on the fourth of July.

Difference Between House and
