The sixty-five st. Paul delegates to

Gus for candidate for president, this
being urged as the only method by
which St. Paul can hope to elect the
president of the organization.

the local candidates, and all efforts to
bring about an understanding whereby
the strength of the two. will receive the
votes of the entire St. Paul delegation.
have been futile If a caucus cannot
be arranged by Friday evening the plan
to do SO will likely be abandoned, and
the result left to the delegates after
their arrival at New Ulm.
The supporters of. James are assert
ing that if the caucus is not held it will
be the fault of the opposition, as they
say that James has the majority of the
delegates, and also insist that such
failure to act will result in the presi-
dency again going to Minneapolis.

CONTINUED RAINS
THREATEN CORN CROP
Large Fields Are Reported Under Wa.
ter in Lyon County

The continued rains may prove dis
astrous to the Minnesota corn crop,
and especially is this true of corn
planted on low, heavy ground. State
Senator John G. Schultz, of Marshall,
who was in st. Paul yesterday, said
that large fields of corn were entirely
under water in his section of the state,
and it is feared that the young corn
which had "come up was drawn out,
while that still in the sprout had been
ruined by the protraeted wet and cold.
when 1 first located in Lyon county
good many years ago." said Senator
Schultz "the farmers sowed no corn,
as they did not believe that it could be
successfully grown SO far north. With
the advent of a large population from
Illinois and Iowa, however, corn culture
became general and now it is no I'M
common thing to see corn fields of more
than a hundred acres. Any general in
jury to the corn crop would prove a
very costly thing to the farming inter-
ests of my part of the state"

HAMLINE CLASS DAY
University's Half Century of
History Is Told

"Hamline's half century, was re-
veaIed in a series of scenes and tab
leux at the annual class day exercises
of the university at the chapel Of the
school last night. The exercises were
original with the members of the class,
and the audience that gathered to wit
Hess the class day ceremonies could by
DO means be accommodated in the
chapel. Several hundred were turned
sway.
Hamline's infancy was given in two
AceneS, one showing the student and
Time and the other a students room.
The scenes showed the early strug-
giles of the school, the period of the
Civil war, giving opportunity for a bit
u military play. Hamlines youth,
Which was depicted by the second two
scenes, covered the destruction by fire
of the college buildings. The merging
of the university and the Minneapolis
College of Physicians and Surgeons
was excuse for three romantic scenes,
while the SpaniSh-American war pc
Rod was the subject of Act w., Ham
line in War Time" Some tableaux were
given in the act by the seniors. The
series concluded with burlesque on
the last class meeting, and this was
one of the best things of the evening.
The class song, music by Grace Can
dell and words by Archie L. Ide, was
given it's initial and last interpretation,
and the class night festivities ended
most happily
The officers of the class of '04 are:
I. B. Wood, president; Nellie c.. Davis,
vice president; Susie Sheperd, secre-
tary, and H. A. Trap, treasurer. The
class play committee comprised Archie
L. Ide and Grace G.. Candell, while the
advisory board consisted of l. B. Wood,
Matte D. Winston, H. B. Randolph,
Tom Porter, Grant Beardsley and
Archie L. Ide.
The graduating exercises for the
university will take place at 2:30
o'clock this afternoon at the Ham
line Methodist church, and the annual
alumni banquet will be held at 6
o'clock at the church parlors. Num-
bers of the alumni of the university
have arrived in the city for the COM
mencement and reunion of the gradu-
ateS today.
At the meeting of the board of trusE
tees yesterday afternoon all the Off
GERS of the corporation were re-e1ect-
ed. Prof. A. D. Kellar, a graduate Of
both Northwestern and Chicago uni
versities, was elected to the chair of
Greek in the university for the next

LOST EYES AND MIND
Blindness Crazes large. Ford
a MaChiniSt

Loss of eyesight caused Harry q
Ford to lose his mind. and he was yes
terday committed to the Rochester in
sane asylum in the probate court, the
demented man being taken there last
evening.
Ford has lived in st. Paul since 1890,
but two years ago his eyesight began
to fail. and later he found it impossi-
BILE to follow his trade of machiniSt
His dependence weighed on his mind
to such an extent that Ford gradually
became insane, and three days ago il
was found necessary to place him in
charge of a strong attendant.
When brought to the court Ford
presented a pitiable appearance, his
powerful physique lily betraying the
wandering mind. He told the physi
clans that some unknown persons We're
determined to burn out his eyes. His
belief in this was so strong that it re-
quired two deputies to take him to the
asylum.

NO ROOM IN CAPITOL
State Art Society Can't Be
Housed in New Building

In common with the state officers
and the various departments of state
government, the State Art society
would like to live in the new state
capitol when it is completed. The state
capitol commission is said to be OBJ
posed to housing the governing board
of the Art society, and there is pros
pect of trouble between the two
branches OF state administration
The governing board of the Art So
ciety is appointed by the governor, and
the Office of the secretary is in the old
state capitol. There is no denial of the
right of the society to remain in its
present quarters, but the commission
ers who have charge of the building
and arrangement of the big marble
state house are said to have issued a
pronouncement against the Art society
becoming an occupant of the new cap
itol. The refusal is based on the
ground that there is no room in the
new building for the Art society, but
members of the board of governors Of
the society say that they see no rea-
son why their board should be singled
out for exclusion from the new CAPT.
toll.
1.-THE law is on our side" said a
woman director of the Art society yes
terday, and our board can see no rea-
son for our exclusion from the new
state capitol. The reason advanced by
Mr.. Seabury, of the capitol commits
Sion,' is that there is no room in the
new building for us. A new building,
just nearing completion, and not large
enough to accommodate the different
departments of the state! Why didn't
they build it larger? They knew what
was required, did they not?'
The Art society threatens to test the
power of the capitol commission to ex-
clude it from quarters in the new
building, unless some concession is
made by the commission.

Inc condition of the outlying paths
many of which are impossible, was de-
CARED to be due to cattle tramDing on
them, and measures will be taken to
compel owners of cattle to keep them
OH the paths. The names of owners of
cattle found on the paths will be learn
ed ana warrants will be sworn out
against them.

suit OF cattle walking on it, and dairv-
men and others owning cattle in that
