There was a reverberation OF the noise
that went up when, early in the session
Sears Of Burt introduced and secured the
adoption Of a resolution TO head OF all
appropriation measures Of a certain char
acter pending the passage Of a revenue bill,
when the committee reached II. r. 1O2, by
Cropsey Of Jefferson. providing for an APP
preparation OF $500, 900 for the erection Of
en- agricultural college. The bill was side
tracked. after some little discussion, be-
cause Of the Sears resolution. This was the
first test to which this resolution was ever
put since its adoption. The statement
had been repeatedly made that the reso-
luton would, when tested, prove inef-
~fectual, but il came out otherwise.
II. r. 96. by Warner OF Lancaster, pre-
cipitated the house into a brisk discus
sion in which Douglas county members, es-
p~ecially Kennedy, figured prominently. 1t
provides that the county surveyor shall be
made the county engineer and have change
of all the work devolving upon the latter.
IL likewise brought up the old bridge bill
discussion and Kennedy, with much force,
opposed the bill and finally secured the
adoption OF an amendment excluding
Douglas county from the operation of the
measure, which in its amended form, was
recommended for passage.

CORNELL PAYS FOR WATER
to Aid Students in Stamping Out
Fever Epidemic
SIXTEEN FRESH CASES DEVELOP IN DAY
Three College Boys stiI Lie Seriously
III and Members of Faculty
Show No signs of Inn
prOvement.

ITHACA, N. Y, Feb. 19.-sixteen new
cases Of typhoid developed here today.
None Of them, however, was among the
students of Cornell university. Three fever
patients we're discharged from Cornell in
Urinary today and sent to their homes.
These we're the first cases to recover in
the present epidemic.
w. e. Mayer Of Brewster. N. Y; j. e.
Woods of Kansas City, Mo-, and c. A.
wlneburgh Of New York City are the most
critically i'll Of these in Cornell lnfrmary
at present. There are a number Of other
serious cases. The condition Of DR.. ]. Gif-
ford and Prof. w. A.. Finch Of the uni
versity faculty remains unchanged.
Although the general exodus Of students
of a week ago has somewhat abated, stu
dents continue to leave town. Especially
are the colleges Of arts and sciences and
the school of law affected. less than one
third of the regular students remaining
here. There is no intention on the part
of the authorities to close the university.
As yet not one of the 1000 absent students
has returned to work.
President Schurman this afternoon ad-
dressed the students in mass meeting upon
the present situation. For the last two
days there has been a strong student SEN
timent against the university authorities
because Of their refusal to grant the stu
dents demand that the university estab-
lish a temporary pure water supply for
studenB boarding and eating houses.
President Schurman said that the trus-
tees refused to grant this demand because
the university did not want &c take upon
itself responsibility for the health Of the
student body. TT university" he said,
ASKS no student to remain in Ithaca un-
der the present conditions, and every stu
dent must take upon himself the respon-
sibility OF his health II he remains"
He announced, however, that the univer-
sity would bear all the expense of any pure
water supply system that the students might
institute apd operate themselves. This
offe~ probably will be accepted by the stu
dents at mass meeting tomorrow.
President Schurman further announced
that the university itself will, in two days,
open a dining room for students capable
of accommodating 300. in which all posi-
BILE precautions against typhoid fever will
be taken.
