BeIoit College Bars Marriage;
Prominent Senior Expelled for
Taking His Old Friend to Wife

Beloit, Wis, Sept. 30.-By the de-
cree of the faculty of Beloit college,
Charles S. Buck, who was married at
the close of the school year last June,
has been refused admission to the
senior class. Mr.. Bucks entrance has
been denied because of a college law
which forbids the marriage of stu
dents while attending college.
The rule has been long established,
but this is the first time it has been
necessary to enforce it. Mr.. Buck will
likely enter Chicago university.
When the news of Mr.. Bucks sus-
pension became known yesterday,
there was a sensation among the men,
bers of the senior class and they inn
mediately prepared a petition which
was taken to President Eaton by a
committee and they pleaded for their
classmate. AS the faculty action had
already been taken there was nothing
The president could do and the bar
against Mr.. Buck will stand.

Denver, Sept. 30.-FOrmer United
States Senator Wolcott won a decisive
victory yesterday in the contest before
the republican state central commit
tee between the rival factions in this
city and afteTward in the state con-
vention. The committee, by a vote OF
Il to Is, placed WOlcott delegates on
the temporary roll call of the conven-
ton, and the convention by unani-
nous vote made the temporary roll
call permanent. No opportunity was
given the anti-WOlcott delegation to
make a contest before the convention.
Mr.. WOlcOtt was chosen temporary
chairman without opposition and in
carefully prepared speech criticized
his opponents in the party and pleaded
for harmony. A strongly wOrded resO-
luton endorsing President Roosevelt
for reelection was unanimously adopt
ed without reference to the committee
on resolutions. Only one Office, that of
justice of the supreme court, is to be
filed this year and for this Chief JUS
tice John Campbell was honored with
denomination by reclamation.
The resolution endorsing Roosevelt
follows:
I'VE cannot meet without sending
our greeting to Theodore Roosevelt,
president of the United States, and we
approve with pride his splendid admin
istratiOn, his high and patriotic pur-
poses and renew here our devotion to
the principles which he represents
and which he has So periodically ex-
emplified in the splendid administra-
ton which he has given to the whole
country, and we particularly approve
and commend his respect and devotion
to law and order, the effort he has
made to bring all persons, rich and
poor alike, in obedience to it and with
in its protection and power.

Immediately after the close of the
prize contest for the extempore speak
ing at the college commencement last
June, Buck hurried away to Epworth,
Ia, where on June % he made a bride
of Miss Della NJ. Simpson, daughter
of one of the prominent citizens of that
city. The couple had been old friends
and their attachment was in no way a
school Irritation. Mrs. Buck was a
graduate OF the Cornell, Ia, college of
the class of 1901 and had been a teach
er in the public schools of her home
town for some time.
Mr.. Buck is very popular with his
classmates and is recognized as one of
the leading and strongest students in
the college and his debarment is a
great disappointment to the class. Mr..
Buck was prominent in branch of col
lege life, was a football player, men,
Der of the glee club and quatet and
was conspicuous as a speaker and de-
batter.

writer SAYS: 1T has been an exciting
day. An hour ago a cable came from
the Associated Press to its cores
pendent here asking for a telegram on
the effect of the coming of the squad
ron. Friday afternoon the Brooklyn
and San Francisco came steamins
over the sea, having made the distance
from Genoa TO Beirut in four days and
two hours. by using one thousand tons
of coal extra"
The American consul went on board
that day and Saturday many Ameri-
cans called on the admiral. Just as
services We're finished aboard
the vessels Sunday drago-
man OF the American consul
ate came aboard and said that a
massacre was on in the upper part of
the city and begged for marines TO
guard the consulate. Officers were
sent ashore 10 investigate. Patrols OF
soldiers moved about all day long,
and met bands of armed mOslems with
knives and pistols, but rarely a CHRIS
tan. Threats are freely made of at
lacking foreigners in order to draw the
attention OF the powers to the situa-
ton"
Under date Of September it is
stated that at least % persons were
killed the day before and five officers
sent ashore saw many dead.
"Other consuls called on the ad-
miral at 1880 p. m, and all had but
one word from the present vali-his
usefulness here is ended. A guard
and signal corps stands all night at the
consulate. This morning the captain
OF the Brooklyn explored all of the
city front and marked good landing
places for the marines. Signalling
went on most Of the night with lights"
Continuing the correspondent says:
"The admiral said he understood
that the wires were down to Constan-
tinople. I understood from this that
the Turkish version of the coming of
the squadron was TO have the right of
way TO the United States.
The admiral says he viii stay IN

ness and has proceeded to open COM
munications with Washington"
When this letter was written the
squadron had not even opened friend
.Iy relations with the shore, and
neither men nor officers were allowed
ashore.
