TALK TO FAIRBANKS
Representatives Of MINIS Branch
Of Reciprocity League Meet
the Senator.
They Tell Him Of the Northwest's
Sentiment on the Cues
tion.

e A committee Of gentlemen representing
the Minnesota Branch Of the National
Reciprocity League waited on Senator
Fairbanks at the clubhouse at the fair
grounds yesterday to assure him, as chair
man of the American section of the high
joint commission. Of the great interest OF
the northwest In reciprocity with Canada.
r. A. Kirk of Farwell Ozmun & Kirk.
st. Paul, stated the position of northwest
ern people, saying that outside OF the
numbering interests and some Of the farm
ers, the sentiment in favor OF freer trade
with Canada is practically unanimous.
Mr.. Kirk said that In view Of the high
price of lumber and the approaching de-
struction of adjacent forests the lumber
men must be prepared to give up their
tariff protection. The need Of cheaper
lumber Is what chiefly interests the farm
ers in reciprocity.
Senator Fairbanks asked a number Of
questions, indicating great interest in the
subject, and explained how long road
any cause must travel that involves a
tariff change. He reviewed briefly the
history of the high Joint commission and
said that only the unexpected prolongation
of the present session Of the Canadian
parliament has prevented him and Sir
| Wilfrid I,aurier from comforting regarding
| a, reassembling Of the commission. He
emphatically refuted Congressman TaW-
| ney's assertion that the joint high com
mission is no longer in existence. He
suggested that when the commission
meets the Minnesota league should be
represented before 1t.
Among those who were present at the
conference were J. w. Cooper, r. A
Kirk, B. F. Beardsley, st. Paul; o. B
Kinnard, Eugene G. Hay, Theodore M
Knappen, w. A. Dunwoody, Loren Fletch.

HERD BADLY DISEASED
DR.. Keyes Kills Eighteen Cows Be-
longing to One Dairy
r man,

The dangerous conditions of the dairy
herds in and about Minneapolis several
years ago have been recalled by the
killing Of eighteen cattle belonging to a
dairyman in St. Louis Park, who was re-
Gently visited by DR.. A. A. Keyes, veter-
marian for the city department Of health
Examination of the herd by Dr. Keyes
revealed the existence Of tuberculosis in
various stages in most Of the cattle, and
veterinarian condemned eighteen Of them.
The owner protested that they were his
best cattle. and demanded In return for
them the highest indemnity allowed by
the law.
After they were killed, however, 1t was
found that sixteen of the eighteen were
so badly diseased that they could not be
used for meat, and they went into the
tank where none but the. poorest and
most worthless of cattle go. II .,hs,.-
This is an exceptional case" said DR..
Reyes. 1.-THE condition Of the dairy herds
Is wonderfully improved over what it
was few years ago. and 1t will probably
be long time before run across a
bunch like that again."

The SCHOOLS OPEN /
First Days Enrolment Is Much in.
Excess Of That Of Last
Year.
Many New Students Who Have Re-
Gently Come to Minneapolis
at High Schools.

The opening of the public schools this
morning was unattended by any pomp
or ceremony, but more students applied
for admission than could be accommo-
dated. All principals report larger first
days attendance than ever before and
many Of the schools will be compelled to
maintain a half session regime in some
OF the lower grades. The delay in the
opening of certain schools accounts for
the congestion in some Of the districts,
but this will be relieved within few
weeks.
One of the busiest men in the city to-
day was Professor J. N. Greer, of the Cen
trail High school, who looked after the en-
rollment In that building. Professor Greer
stated that up to II a. m. 100 students
who had moved to Minneapolis since
June, had applied for admission This
| is Indicative Of the increase Of popula-
| ton Of the city.
superintendent Jordan was unable tC
give any figures upon the first days en-
rollment, but prophesied that it would be
| considerably ahead Of any previous year
He expects notable increase in the High
school attendance, but the facilities are
| such that considerable increase can be
accommodated without much inconven.

THETAS DEFEND ACTION
Women's Fraternity Denies That
Any Rushing Compact Is
in Existence.


The Greek letter sororities at the uni
versity are still in turmoil owing to the
action of the Kappa Alpha Thetas, who
following out their plan of action as out
lined in T h e ournal, commenced
active rushing yesterday.
The Thetas are inclined to view the ex-
tensive criticism Of their action as a trifle
unjust and are out with an explanation.
The following statement has been issued
by members Of the sorority: .
I'm regard to the accusation made in an
evening paper against the Kappa Alpha
Theta, the fraternity wishes to state that
there has been no compact to govern the
falls rushing; that President Northrops
injunction expired June 1, according to
the presidents own statement last even
ing. All Of the women's fraternities were
Informed Of the intention of the Kappa
Alpha Theta and no objection was
raised by them at the time"
