INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 2S.-Tbe coal
operators of Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and
western Pennsylvania and representatives
OF mining interests in twenty other states
began arriving in Indianapolis today for
the Joint wage conference with the miners
which begins tomorrow. Between $50 and
800 operators will be in the city.
The conference between the operators
and the miners wage committee only has
to do with arranging the scale for the CEN
trail district. This settlement, however, is
of national Importance, for the settlements
in all Of the other bituminous districts are
based on the terms reached in this one.
Most OF the operators that arrived today
refused to talk for publication.
A few Of them indicated that the opera
tors would take the stand that the miners
demand too much The miners, on the
other hand, seem determined to stay by
their demand for rise of 12h cents per
ton mined.
If no agreement is arrived at It will
mean a cessation of work in the mines of
the competitive district on April l.

DEAD FREIGHT IS REFUSED
Eastern Lines VIII Only Garry Per-
ishabIe Goods and Coal, Ow-
ing to Lack of Cars.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2s.-Nearly all eastern
roads centering in Chicago have served
notice on western connections that until
conditions change they cannot accept any
more dead freight"
Until further notice efforts Of eastern
lines Will be concentrated upon moving
perishable freight and coal.
The trafic conditions are said by east
ern men to be unprecedented. Western
railroads which are not suffering so much
from lack OF equipment and power, are
materially injured by the congested condi-
tions OF their eastern connections, as they
could move a much larger percentage OF
traffc than they are now handling, IL there
were eastern connections to turn 1t over TO-
Strenuous efforts we're made by the
board Of trade to induce the Lake Shore
and other main eastern roads to make
some additional provision for the move
ment OF grain. They we're told that the
Lake Shore alone could use 10000 more
cars than it possesses.

GROWTH OF DAIRY BUSINESS
John Francis Says IL is Becoming
Great Factor in Nebraska

There is no general realization OF the
enormous growth Of the dairy business in
Nebraska recently" said John Francis,
general passenger agent OF the b. & NJ.
railroad. "As 1t is now, our passenger
trains carry cars solely for milk every day
and l prophesy that il will not be long
before we will be running entire trains for
milk alone. Take town like Beaver City,
for instance. l have just received figures
for the milk business there of 1902 In
that year 1867 800 pounds Of milk were
shipped from there and from this 5O6 657
pounds OF butter fat were extracted by the

QUAY TAKES BOLD STEF
Tacks Statehood Bill Onto Many
Measures by Way of
Amendment.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2s.-A few minutes
before Senator Lodge CNIass) suspended
his speech in opposition to the omnibus
statehood bill today, Senaor Quay (Pa),
in charge Of the bill, introduced the state
hood measure as an amendment to each
OF the appropriation bills, the agricultural
and the civil sundry bill.
The document was handed in quietly,
and the occurrence attracted no attention
at the time. The amendments contained
in each case all the provisions Of the bill,
as IL came from the house and provided
for the admission OF Oklahoma, New Mex
leo and Arizona as states OF the union.
Senator Quay would not discuss the pur-
pose of this step. but his friends prac-
tically admit that II is the intention so to
join the measure with the bills voting
money for the conduct of the business OF
the government as to render IL necessary
to accept statehood in order to secure the
passage of the appropriation bills. This
purpose is made more evident by the fact
that Mr.. Quay requested that the amend
ments be referred to the committee on or
ganization and conduct Of executive de-
| partments OF which he is chairman. A
rule of the senate requires that in order
to prevent being thrown out on a point an
/
be reported by some committee of the SEN
ate.
| Mr.. Quay's committee is composed of
nine members, a large majority of whom
are favorable to the admission of all the
! territories, and although il is a COM
mittee which has not had a meeting for
| years, IL is contended that II Is perfectly
| competent to pass on any measure that
! may be referred to 1t for consideration.
] In the usual order OF business amend
| ments to the sundry civil bill would have
I been referred to the committee on appro-
/ priations and to the agricultural bill ia
| the committee on agriculture, but tAis was
not done because those committees are
| certainly not so favorable to the statehood
| propositions.
! The intention is to have the committee
called together at an early date to con-
| slider the amendments. 1t is understood
that the decision to take this step accounts
| for Mr.. Quay's motion to adjourn at ar
/ unusually early hour today
John L. McDonough, formerly secretary
/ OF state of New York, has been consulted

CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-In the presence OF
an assembly of educators and alumni from
all parts Of the country. Northwestern uni
versitys new professional school building
at Lake and Dearborn streets was formally
dedicated today. In connection with the
ceremony there was a celebration Of the
ffty-seventh anniversary of founders day.
Dedicatory exercises were held in the
assembly hall OF the new building. At
their conclusion Arthur T. Hadley, presi-
dent OF Yale, was rendered a reception in
the rooms Of the law school. The cele-
bration commemorative Of the founding Of
the university was held in the Auditorium
tonight, when DR.. Hadley delivered an ad-
dress or The Place Of the Professional
School in the Modern American Univer-
sity."
Omaha daily bee., 1903-01-29

Mr.. Hadley 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 depreCiate the
value of research. 1t is a thing OF great
Importance to the community, and those
engaged in 1t often find themselves better
teachers on that account. But we make
a mistake If we fix our eyes too exclu-
sively on research at the expense of teach
Ing and estimate the value of a university
solely on the former basis, 1t may be
true that one real jurist is worth 100 Or
dinary lawyers; that one medical discoV-
erer does more good than 1000 physicians;
that one prophet is worth lOVQO preachers
OF the conventional type Nevertheless,
the institution which tries only to make
1urists or discoverers or prophets Will fail
to give the country the lawyers, doctors
and ministers which it wants.
II is in the power OF the professional
school to be more than mere professional
school, but not by neglecting it's plain iuty
of technical training. To emphasize the
needs Of practical life was the original
function of the organized professi0 0nal
school in university affairs, and amid all
the changes which have taken place In It's
position and influence it is still charged
with the same duty and invested with the
same privilege.
The annual banquet OF the alumni OF
Northwestern university at the Auditorium
hotel tonight was made the occasion for
conferrng a number OF honorary degrees
on men who have distinguished themselves
in professional education in this country
Among those who were so honor9d were
James Barr Adams, dean of the Harvard
law school; w. w. Keen OF jefferson Med
ical college, Albert y. Prescott OF the
dental school, University OF Michigan. and
Dear Edward c. Kirk of the dental school
University of Pennsylvania. DR.. Kirk was
given the degree of Doctor of Science, the
others that of Doctor OF Laws.
