COLLEGES MUST LET
HEART AFFAIRS ALONE
ST. Louis Judge Decides for Student
Whom Medical Faculty Expelled.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 1S.-Judge
Wood, in the circuit, today held that a
medical college had no jurisdiction
over the heart affairs of it's students
and could not legally withhold a diplo-
ma from one of them who had fallen
in love before the time set for his
graduation.
The decision was on the application
for a writ of mandamus to compel the
Barnes Medical college to issue a d.
ploma to Omus York, of Muskegee, 1.
T., class of '03, who entered the col
lege in October, 1900. 1t was alleged
as a reason for Withholding the diploma
that York fell in love with a young
woman with whom he afterwards quar-
relied, and that she, through revenge,
told of their love affair to the college
faculty. This was before Yorks class
was to graduate, and he was expelled
and a diploma refused. The writ of
mandamus was granted.

GEN. REYES REPROYES
The UNITED STATES
Correspondence Made Public i'm Which the Colombian
Envoy Denounces the Course of the Washington Gov
ernment in Connection With the Panama Revolution
Hay Uses Oily Words, but Gives Him No Satisfaction

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 1S.-
President Roosevelt transmitted to the
senate today additional correspondence
touching the relations of the United
States with Colombia and Panama COW
ering the period from Dec. %, 1903, to
Jan last.
A statement of grievances on the
part of Colombia was presented to the
state department by Gen. Reyes on
Dec. %. Gen. Reyes says that the
course of the United States had work
ed deep injury to Colombia and he
cited the treaty of 1916, as showing
that the independence and sovereign
ty of Colombia was to be maintained
intact between the two governments.
Gen. Reyes said with reference to
the Hay-Herran treaty that the same
course was followed in Bogota as was
pursued in Washington. If the treaty,
he said had been rejected in Wash
ington the diSapproval would have in
Volved no grievance for Colombia, and
that the Colombian congress in its dis
approval of the treaty simply exercised
a vested right. This action, he main
tained, did not disqualify the Colom-
bian government for the conclusion of
another treaty.
In speaking of the action of the Col
ombian congress in it's efforts to amend
the treaty Gen. Reyes says

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 18.-Had it not
been for the precaution of a pains
taking attorney, Mrs. Earl Halsey, of
Oklahoma, might have worn 80 cents
worth of window glass for years un-
der the impression that it was dia

Mrs. Halsey could not distinguish
between sham and real diamonds.
Neither could the administrator of her
sisters estate, Charles E. Morgan, nor
the county judge, D. NJ Vinsonhaler,
nor the clerks of the probate court.
So when the court gave Mrs. Halsey
the window glass, telling her it was

lahoma woman would have accepted
the jewels without suspicion.
"Just to make sure that these are
the Eddy gems, We'll take them to a
jeweler," suggested counsel for Mrs.
Halsey.
The jeweler told Mrs. Halsey her
heirlooms were worth Is cents a
square yard.
An investigation disclosed that be-
tween the time when Hamilton B. Van

casket from his dead sisters room and

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 1S.-A
case of vital Importance to claimants
to the valuable iron lands around Ce-
dar Island lake in Minnesota will be
argued in the United States supreme
court tomorrow. This is the ejectment
suit decided in favor of settlers by the
supreme court of Minnesota. The liti-
CATION has continued in one form or
since long before it was known that
the lands were valuable for anything
excepting timber. There are only seven
or eight of the settlers, and they have
been unable on account of lack of sur
veys to obtain title to the lands from
the governemnt.
The present suit is that of the Sc
curity & Development company against
Burns and Wicky, two of the squatters
on the property in question On ac-
count of the known iron deposits the
tract is now valued at many millions
of dollars. The Security company is
supposed to have become a constituent
company of the United States Steel
corporation, and the matter may be
compromised between the squatters
and steel trust. A new survey has
been in progress since last month by
Civil Engineer Feason, of the interior
department, but the suit in ejectment
was instituted long before this survey
was ordered. Walter q. Clark.

and his friends control the party ma
chinery and unless an early start is
made by the Roosevelt people it is evil
dent that Hanna will get delegations
which are not pledged and which can
be stampeded for him at the proper
moment.
The statement that the Hanna talk
comes from Democratic sources and is
intended to embarrass the Republicans
Is without basis. Facts are in the pos
session of Roosevelt's friends which
leave no further doubt in their minds
that the only way Roosevelt will get
the Republican nomination is to go out
now and fight for 1t. He believes he
is strong enough to force the issue and
will do so. Minnesota he regards as his
banner state and he is relying on Min
nesota Republicans to take part in the
campaign for instructed delegates. The
governor has not yet seen the presi-
dent, but will do so before returning.
The governor appeared before the

the deepening of the river. He also
called on the attorney general and paid

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 1S.-Gov.
Van SAINT has acquired information
since his arrival in Washington which
leaves no doubt in his mind that the
Hanna presidential boom is a serious
menace to Roosevelt, and which has
convinced him that steps ought to be
taken in Minnesota at once to insure a
loyal Roosevelt delegation in the ma
tional convention.
The details of this information can
not, 1t is said, be disclosed at this time,
but 1t Is predicted that one of the first
things to happen after the governors
return will be the issuing of a call for
a state convention and further plans
for choosing delegates. It is proposed
that the convention be held as early as
March. This is earlier even than Penn
sylvania's convention, which is called
for April. Judge Jamison, chairman of
the state committee, will be guided by
Van SAINT in calling the convention.
This haste and plans for an early
state convention are for the purpose Of
smoking out Mr.. Hanna and heading off
any schemes he may have for executing
coup at the last minute. All Hanna's

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 1S.-The
United States supreme court has called
on the counsel in the case of Minnesota
VS.. the Northern Securities company to
file additional briefs within twenty
days, directed to the question ''wheth-
er the circuit court properly took jur-
isdiction of the case on removal ?1s
This action by the court, say lawyers
familiar with such matters, indicates
very strong probability that the state
case is to be thrown out of court on
the question of Jurisdiction.
During the oral arguments several of
the justices directed injunctions to the
counsel raising the question of juris-
diction and the counsel were evidently
taken by surprise and were not pre-
pared on this line or were unable to
maintain the right of the case to the
pending appeal.
Attorneys Must Act.
At any rate the supreme court is
not satisfied that the circuit court had
jurisdiction and if not the present case
has no standing in court. Therefore,
unless Attorneys Douglas and Mum
can present arguments more to the
point than any yet brought forward
the state case against the Securities
company is doomed to defeat.
