San Francisco. Feb. FIN the hearing
Of the Fair case now in progress before
Ichn a. Mosmer sitting as court COM
missioner. Dr. John Galway. who per-
formed the autopsy on the two victims Of
the automobile accident, testified that in
his opinion the death OF Chas l.. Fair
occurred at least n few seconds after that
Of Mlz. Fair. The witness disagreed with
Or. PerriGuel, the French physician who
examined the bodies in France and who
said he discovered a break in cerebral
envelop in Fairs head. According to DR..
Galway this would be impossible as Dr.
Perriquet had never performed a COM
plete autopsy. The cerebral envelop is
within the skull! and the skull was never
"noncd until the bodies arrived in this

NEW DISCOUNT
RATE IS MADE
LUMBERMEN AGREE ON CHANGE
! EFFECTIVE MARCH 2s.
National Terms Of Sale Abandoned by
the Mississippi Valley L,lnbermen's
Association, Which Agrees on 2
Per Cent Discount in Fifteen Days.

Two per cent discount on payments
within fifteen days will be allowed at
ter March 20 by the white pine manu-
facturers of the Mississippi Valley
Lum bermen's association. i..,s s-~,as -. ..s,..,
This action was decided on yester-
day at a meeting of the Officers and
directors of the association. The meet
Ing was called to receive the reportsof
a committee appointed at the annual
meeting March 8. to confer with the
representatives of the Wisconsin VAL
ley Lumbermen's association regard
ing terms ofssale. S NSs s.fs
Until a year ago the terms were 2
per cent in ten days, !. per; cent in
thirty days, and net in sixty days.
Shipments seldom arrive within ten
days, and many retailers took a longer
time to pay, and then took the per
cent discount. To prevent this, there
was a national movement among the
manufacturers, and several associa-
tons adopted new terms, giving ~
per cent in fifteen days. These were
adhered to by the local manufacture
ers, but the Wisconsin valley mills
found their Chicago competitors still
granting the old terms, and at their
meeting in February they went back
to the 2 per cent. This forced the
Mississippi Valley association to the
action taken yesterday, but the new
terms give a longer time for taking
the discount, in order that retailers
may have their lumber before paying
for it. After March 20 the terms will
be 2 per cent off in fifteen days, 1 per
cent in thirty days, and net in sixty
days. t. If g., -".... -.l.-

MAY LOSE THEIR HOLIDAY
Varsity Students May Hays to Work Six
DAYS a Week.

Academic students at the uniyersity
may be required to work six days week.
At present they have only five working
days, but If the faculty accepts the report
drawn up" this morning by the committees
on course revision. they will lose their
Monday holiday. 49, - :
+ The report calls for three hours work
a week in all subjects except mathematics
and beginning languages, which call for
five hours work
; AS. originally drawn the eommittee.s re-
port made all work elective. even In the
freshman year, and abolished the rules
limiting the amount OF work that hight
be taken in one department. President
Northrop opposed the free election plan
and at the melting held this morning the
committee substituted for it five sets OF
required Subjects which limit the stu
dents, choice somewhat, but allow him
more freedom than at present. -
Under the new plan the freshman must
take at least two years work in Ian
guages and mathematics, but can elect
biology, chemistry, botany, history, po-
,litical science or philosophy. All other
subjects are elective, subject to the re-
quirement that the student must take
forty-three hours work a week, exclusive
of exercises and drill, in order to be gradu-
ated. - - -
The proposed plan will make it possible
to work the buildings to their full ca
pacity, and will relieve the congestion
characteristic Of the present system.
With but tire Rotations week the
outside work required will be increased.
This report will be passed upon by the
faculty at a meeting aturday afternoon,
and will probably be adopted in all its
essentials.

''While the outstanding of Finland
will proceed with the same methodi-
cal determination that has marked
Russia's course for the past five years,
and in the end the institutions of Fin
land will have been pretty thoroly

they are too cultured and too well
founded in. the love of their country

RIVAL LIGHTING PLANT
Retailers Threaten to Break Into General
EIectrjc's Field.

Either municipal electric lighting
plant or a merchants lighting, power and
heating plant, is possible, should there
BE a failure in the final effort made to-
day to get the city, the Minneapolis Gen
eral Electric company and the consumers
together. A, final alternative plan was
sent to A. M. Robertson, manager Of the
company, this morning by w. L. Harris,
representing the Retailers association.
Should this suggestion be refused by the
general management in Boston, as the
previous proposal was, merchants are pre-
pared to ask the council for permission to
establish a lighting, heating and power
plant under rigid~supervision of the city
engineering department and to pay to the
city 5 per cent ofsthe gross revenue.
No representative for the electric COM
pany appeared before the special council
committee at its meeting yesterday after
noon, but w. L. Harris, president of the
Retailers association, made a full state
ment. He said that the attempt to get
together in the matter Of rates had failed;
that Mr.. Robertson, following trip to
headquarters in Boston, had refused the
request of the association for fiat rate
to large consumers Of 5 cents for light and
cents for power. ~ 5sg,
