TROUBLE AHEAD.
Festive Students to Receive a
Taste of Discipline.

Episode in Law Gas Room Has Not
Been Forgotten Faculty Is to In
yestigate it Thoroughly Within the
Next Few Weeks Leaders in Dis
turbanee are known.
1t is whispered around town there
will be some doings Defure the Uni
versity faculty in a short time. The
pressure OF other business has pre-
vented anything from being done up
TO this time, but there hot time
coming.
It will be remembered that when
Judge Johnson was sick, Col. James
q. Frazer was engaged To teach the
CLASSES. ] be events in connections
with his brief sway are well reiuem
bered Ia town.
The lawyers made it entirely too
warm for the Colonel, who has no
hesitancy in stating that for once 10
his life he found circumstances or
series Of circumstances over which he
had no control He was forced to re-
tire from the fray, and was consdera-
bly, wounded la body and mind.
Most Of the boys have apparently
forgotten the incident, but IL is not a
closed one by any means. There is a
day Of reckoning coming. The class
met and apologized TO the facnlt., TO
Judge johnson and TO everyone con-
cerneds except Colonel Frazer, to
HON apology was really due.
This tact will have some bearing on
what is TO follow, but it lis the
only reason why discipline is not to
be applied The facts have been
communicated To the faculty, and the
matter will he taken up By them 10 a
very short time.
The men who were ring leaders 10
the outbreak are known, and their
names have been forwarded with The
complaint which has been made.
They will all be cited for trial. This
announcement will be surprise to
the students concerned, but it.,Day be
taken as authentic. When the legis
lature adj, urns, and time is given To
consider the matter, IL will be taken
up by the faculty.

SCHEME OF BEEF MEN
Will Merge Small Plants TO
Circumvent National Law
Against Trusts.
CAPITAL is ONLY S5O, 100000.
Securities Holding Company viii Be
Headed by offieiaIs of Combined
Concerns and Presence of Big Eel
lows in Deal Will Be Concealed.

Chicago. Feb. 24.-The Post yester-
day said: Plans practically are COM
pleted for the merging of the inter-
ests of the firms that comprise the
so-called beef trust Unless some
thing unforeseen arises, April / will
see the official announcement OF the
Incorporation of securities holding
company which eventually may con-
troll the meat trade of the world.
Unlike the popular idea of the
packers merger, however, for the time
being 1t is not to embrace everything
in sight, nor is it to be capitalized at
$500,000,000, as announced for the
United States packing company. Fur
Their, the plans contemplate no fric-
tien with the federal courts, because
of the recent decision by Judge Gross
cup against the packing house COM
bination.
Merger of Small Plants.
The nucleus of the great combina-
ton of worldwide interests Is to be
the merger of the smaller independent
plants bought last year by the packers
preparatory to the general merger
planned at that time. The securities
to be held by the new corporation are
those of the G. H. Hammond Packing
company, the Omaha packing COM
pany, the Anglo-American-F Fowler COM
panies, the st. Louis beef company,
the United States dressed beef COM
rany and possibly several of the out
side stoekyards now controlled by Chi
cago interests.
Chicago will be the headquarters of
the combination, but as far as the
public Is concerned there will be no
immediate change in the operation of
the individual plants under the new
regime. It Is planned 10 head the new
securities company with present off,
Gals of the individual companies, in
stead OF the big packers themselves,
Or those Immediately associated with
them in the "big six" companies.
Slate of Officials.
The slate of officials for the securi-
ties company has been prepared, and
is said to contain the names of ]. c.
Melvin and J. P. Lyman of the Ham
mond company, Frederick Cowan O.
the Anglo-American and e. F. Robbins
OF the Omaha packing company. Prob
ably the last named will be chairman
of the board of directors.
1t is not known definitely what will
be the capital of the securities holding
company, but it is thought the figures
will be in excess of the purchase price
Of the companies to be combined,
probably something like $50,000,0 900.
