1t Was Held to Consider a Consolida-
ton Proposition Made by the
Central College.
THE DECISION WAS UNANIMOUS
MANAGEMENT OF THE STATE UNI
VERsITY DISAPPOINTED.
An Alliance with a Leading Medical
school Would BE an Advantage
Negotiations Probably OF.

Negotiations looking to a consolidation of
the Central College of Physicians and Sur
geons and the Medical College of Indiana.
the combined medical schools to become
affiliated with the Indiana University,
seem to be off for the time. There had
been talk of this consolidation for several
weeks. Yesterday committee from the
Central College, consisting of Drs. Maxwell,
Kahlo and Eastman, met the faculty OF the
Medical College of Indiana and presented
a proposition for a union of the two col
leges. At called meeting of the faculty
of the Medical College of Indiana last
night it was decided to decline the offer OF
the other institution. This decision was
unanimous on the part of the faculty.
DIR. Rius Eastman, of the Central Col
lege, said last night that he had not heard
of the action of the Medical College of In
diana people, although he knew they were
considering the matter. He said he be-
lieved union of the two colleges will ulti-
mately be brought about, Notwithstanding
the offer of the Central College has been
declined at this time.
1t is the understanding that the state
University people look kindly upon the
proposition to make medicine part OF the
regular university course. Some time ago
the University TO become the medical de-
partment of that institution, and a few
days later the Medical College of Indiana
made a similar proposition. The univer-
sity declined to affiliate with the colleges
singly, the management of the institution
feeling that il would be unwise to make
choice between the schools 1t was sug
gested that a consolidation of the two
medical colleges be brought about and the
university would then take the combined
school under its sheltering wing.
Many of the friends of the State Univer
sity will be disappointed that the arrange
ment did not succeed, and further negotia-
tons along this line will be looked for.
With the two medical colleges mentioned
combined into one, the single institution to
be a part of the Indiana University, where
students could receive an education in
medicine as well as a training in other
branches, the university ought to be one of
the popular institutions of the country.
AS ii is now a student who wants to study
medicine and in addition educate himself
in the regular branches taught at the
State University, must put in four years
there and then take a four years medical
course. By an arrangement which the Chi
cago University has with Rush Medical
College students who attend the university
may, If they desire, take the regular med
ical course and in addition receive the ad-
vantage of a regular course in literature
or almost any other branch of study they
care to take up. all of which can be ac-
complished in six years.

A rumor was current among the members
of Company d, First Regiment yesterday
that a wedding was soon to occur in which
one of their number was to take an active
part Several of the boys sent out the re-
port that William Wagner Fenrick had al
ready fallen in love with an Indianapolis
girl, and arrangements had been made for
the wedding which would be solemnized
before the troops left the city. Fenrick
was seen after dress parade last night and
Stoutly denied the rumor. He swore ven-

story.

hands into the well. Barth thought no
more of the incident until he, in company
with Sergeant Ross went to the we'll to get
some water. When they had worked for
some time they drew a bucket full of soap
suds. Barth was astounded. II then dawned
on him what the trouble was. While he

an explanation. Barth then explained and
he was given orders TO never use soap
again in camp. The pump had to be taken
from the well in order TO recover the soap.

That Curse Called Rumor.

Between the Incendiary who fires his
neighbours barn in secret vengeance and the
Worthy who starts run" on Bank with
malicious gossip there is only technical
difference.
Gossip ith-a-purpose has too often been
used to stab character and to wreck for
tunes. and IL is great pity the law cannot
better reach those who employ such intan-
gible and inSidiouS methods To achieve
their ends.
Scarcely any enterprise OF individual no
matter how deserving. is safe from the
subtle dangers of the Gossip-monger, and
human nature so loves morsel of such
news that il can be relied upon TO push
along a rumor when once it has been Judi
ciouSly started.
vivid illustration of the gross Injustice
such a rumor can do is seen in the Force"
Food Companys advertisement of this
date, wherein a reward of 5000 is offered
for the conviction of the parties who in
itiated the suggestion that Force was
drugged.
A further offer of 5000 for evidence that
single package of the fifty million sold
contained anything except Wheat, Barley
and Table Salt is, of course, a complete
refutation of tine rumor, even If the States
Supervision of Foods was not in itself am
pie protection.
People who love fair play in business. as
we'll in other matters. will read with in
dignation that IL has cost The Force
Food Company over $4,000 10 publish a
refutation of this ''rumor' in the newspa-
pers of the United States and Canada, and
probably as much more in loss Of sales re-
sulting from the baseless gossip which did
the harm.
The absurdty of the rumor is apparent
when IL is known that the public has con-
sumed fifty million packages of Force
without single instance of any Ill effect
upon anyone of the users
The Force Co. are evidently suffering
the usual penalty for success.

SETTLEMENT OF STRIKE
VICE PRESIDENT LEWIS RETURNS
FROM WEST VIRGINIA.
He Says Everybody Is Glad the
Trouble Is Ended-Carpenters'
Executive Board.

Vice President Thomas l.. Lewis, of the
United Mine Workers, who has just re-
turned from West Virginia. the scene of the
great coal strike, said yesterday in regard
to the temporary settlement of the differ
ences: The strike in the New River dis
trict of West Virginia was ended by a
convention which was held at Montgom-
cry, w. Va, Wednesday of last week. The
only reason that can be assigned for not
making public the action. of the convention
was that everybody in that section of the
country was glad that the strike was ended
and they have no desire TO resume hos
tilities. This is true of a large number of
the operators and likewise of some of the
union men. To continue the strike under
the conditions that existed in that section
would have been a hardship TO many OF
the mine workers and would have discrim-
mated against some operators who were
willing and anxious to treat with the organ
ization but could not under the existing, con-
ditions. What those conditions are / think
would be of no public interest and if COM
mented upon would simply intensity the
bitter feeling that already existed in some
sections of West Virginia Work of or
ganizing that State is now going on and
will continue until every mine worker in
the State is a union man."
Vice President Lewis and w. r. Farley,
a member of the national board, have been
chosen by the mine workers of Alabama to
represent them in the arbitration of the
strike difficulty of that State in which over
1900 miners have been idle for several
months. The miners returned to work yes
terday morning under the agreement that
their demands should be arbitrated by rep
resentatives of both sides The operators
will be represented by two delegates and

looking for two ''nonunion" automobiles

Mr.. Collins received word yesterday from
a member of the union at Syracuse that the
manufacturers of automobiles and die cast

unfair list some time ago, and that they
had shipped to this city two machines
which had been constructed by nonunion
and unskilled labor, and asked Mr.. Collins
TO look out for them and notify the firms
