ALUMNI MAKE DEMAND.
They Ask That President MacLean
Be Deposed.

Be Deposeu.
Davenport, May 24.-The Daven-
port alumni of the State university
spoke with no uncertain voice last
night in denouncing the dissensions
between the president and faculty or
that institution, and declaring that its
best interests would be served by the
removal of President MacLean.
A called meeting Of the Alumni as
ISOLATION was attended by about sixty
university graduates, presided over by
ex-senator William o. Schmidt. The
resolutions adopted were presented by
Judge ]. w. Bollinger of the Seventh
judicial district, and the president
was scored in speeches by various
men prominent in the professions IN
which they were trained at the uni
versity in it's former and more pros
porous years. Ex-Mayor Henry Votl-
mer, of the committee which visited
the university, reported that the sltua'
ton there was such as imperatively
demanded reform. Eminent scientists
in the faculty were in state border
ing on desperation owing to their
treatment by the president. he said
The institution had lost 400 students,
it was asserted, since the MacLean
administration began. Some very I'M
complimentary expressions were ap-
piled to President MacLean by some
of the more vigorous OF the speakers.
After nearly score OF addresses
the meeting by rising vote adopted
the following resolutions:
Whereas. It is apparent to. every
one interested in the State University
of Iowa that the institution is not
prospecting as it should; and,
Whereas, We believe this is large
ly due to the methods of the presl-
dent in his management as executive,
and his failure to maintain the re-
spect and confidence of the faculty;
and,
Whereas. We believe the present
relations between the faculty and the
PRESIDENT are positively injurious TO
the institution. and growing worse
each year; and,
Whereas. We learn that eminent
members of the faculty are likely to
resign unless a change is made; and,
Whereas. We think the university
would receive greater financial sup
port from the legislature and greater
moral support from its alumni if it
had another and more competent
president, therefore, be it

Telephone Companies Subject Them
selves to Fines.

Des Moines, May 24.-Secretary
Davidson of the state executive coun.
Gil estimates that there are from 500
to 1000 telephone companies in the

of s1O0 day for each day Of failure
to report. If the penalties are all
applied and exacted the state tax levy
can be materially reduced for the next

the executive council this week.
About 1000 reports are now in hand,
but many OF the companies prefer to
take the risk OF being heavily fined.
