Madison, Wis, April 22.--It has just
become known that the most severe
case of hazing ever perpetrated at
Chadbourne hall took place last Sun
day evening, when several co-eds kid
mapped Miss Isabelle Menzies of
GAINESVILLE, Wis, and. after severe
blanket tossing, swathed her in the
blankets and carried her to the attic
of the building, where she was fast
ened to a beam and left alone and
helpless.
The hazing is the elimination of a
disturbance caused by a spirit of dis
satisfaction among the upper-class
girls and a tendency to disobey Miss
Menzies, who is proctor.
Sunday evening the girls burst into
her room. AItho she was i'll in bed.
they tossed her in a blanket for fif-
teen minutes and then bound her with
ropes made from the sheets and car
ried her to the attic and left her too
weak to call for help. After remain
ing in the cold attic for some time
she was discovered by maid and re-
leased.
Several prominent "co-eds" are
likely to be suspended or expelled.

Power.

Washington, April 22.-The. first

tore the senate committee on privi-
rleges and elections, was Judge @. w.
towers, who was appointed. by Presi-
dent Cleveland in 1885, as an associate

ing Lorenzo Snow, then one of the
twelve apostles, who afterward be-
came president OF the church, and
who was convicted and sentenced.
Judge Powers reviewed the political
history OF Utah to show the close re-
lations Of the Mormon church with
political affairs, and also the intimate
association of the church with the To-
cal and municipal government He
showed that the church controlled in
fairs.

WHY WAIT TILL NOMINATED
MIR. Bryan Calls Upon Judge Parker
to Speak Out.

Special to The Journal
Lincoln, Neb., April 22.-Comment-
ing on the reported assertion Of his
supporters that Judge Parker. after
he is nominated, will announce his
views on public questions, w. J. Bry-
an says in the current issue of the
Commoner:
But why wait until after he is nomin-
ated? Have not the democrats the right
TO know his views before he is nomin-
ated? Is the convention to bargain for a
pig in poke and with Hill the GUS
todian of the poke? If it is not important
that the democrats know the judges views
before he is nominated why is it nee
essary that he resign before the election !?
II it is right to surprise the democrats
after the, nomination, why deny to the peo-
pie at large the pleasure Of being sur
prised afte the Inauguration? 1t it is a
delight to democrats to speculate about
the views of their candidate before they
select him, why rob republicans of the
delight they would find in specula ting
about the views of the democratic candi-
date during the campaign?

other IN New York; but unlike the
condition prevailing in the two last
campaigns, the general interest in the
eastern headquarters will probably be
as great as that in the western.
From New. York will be directed, that
part of the general campaign aimed
At securing the electoral votes Of New
york, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New
Jersey ana Delaware, and from Chi
cage, the campaign for Illinois and
INDIANA. With the solid south UNI
proken and the country beyond the
Mlsslsslppi and the Missouri for
roosevelt, the democrats must have
the eastern States named, with either
Indiana Illinois, to win.
conservative democrats in Wash
lngton expect that with Parker as the
eandldate they will be able to make a
dlgnlhed, decent campaign, and per-
maps nal eliminate the Bryan faction,
IN 1908. The White House is more
AFRAID Of Parker than it is of any
other candidate mentioned by the
democrats. The ground for this
rear mas its root in the knowledge that
the trusts. which oppose Roosevelt,
VIII heavily finance the democratic
campaign in the pivotal states named.
The Electoral College.
Inc electoral college this year will
contain Ats members, of whom 239
Will be majority necessary to elect.
The l5l electoral votes of the solid
south Will surely go to the democratic
candldate. Delaware and Maryland,
with eleven votes between Them will
also go democrat, bringing the total
up to 162.
Where will the remaining II votes,
necessary for democratic success,
come from? New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, Rhode Island and West
Virginia, with 50 electoral votes, will
pc more or less close and uncertain
tnls year. Should these states go
democratic, but eight additional cleo
toral votes would be. needed to put the
democratic candidate in the White
house. The democrats think they
Will have chance to carry either
Indiana or Illinois, and it is in these
states that the campaign in the west
will be centered.
On the surface, it would seem that
the democrats have a big contract on
thelr hands, and yet the prospect is
alluring. even if not wholly
satisfactory, to induce them, with the
AID OF unlimited funds, to make the
strongest, effort they have made for
years. The 1904 campaign will not be
as one-sided as many strong repub-
Leans have expected. This is why the
president is being so careful in the
selection Of a chairman of the repub-
[lcan national committee.

VAST ESTATE IN
CHICAGO'S HEART
Heir Of Colonel Gideon Irish Will
Push His Claim for
100 Acres.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
Appleton. Wis, April 22.-That 100
acres in the heart of Chicago, includ-
ing the site occupied by the Mont
gomery Ward store, the Sherman
house and large section of Michigan
avenue, may soon revert to the heirs
of Gideon Irish, colonel of the One
Hundred and Seventh New York in
fantry in the civil war, seems highly
probable. and a suit with that end
in view will soon be begun by Reuben
Irish, nephew Of the late colonel, who
In 1888 purchased the land from the
government.
Gideon Irish died in 1868 and for
some years after the taxes We're paid
by strangers, into whose hands the
property finally fell.
Upon an investigation it is found
that none of the present owners can
produce warranty deed, and upon
that point, it is said, hinges the re-
version of the estate, valued at
100000.
Chicago attorneys engaged by Reu-
ben Irish are now at work locating
the remainder of eleven heirs, and as
soon as that is accomplished Mr.. Irish
declares that his suit will be vigor-
ously pushed.

ficers, came from the magazine guns
of the bandits. Suddenly two of the
outlaws jumped from the cave and
escaped across the frozen prairie,
keeping, up fusillade as they ran.
Fight at Dugout.
Detective Driscoll advanced to the
"dugout' and was firing, at the fleeing
desperadoes, when Niedermeier-the
police thought there had been but
two in the hollow-emerged fatally
shot Driscoll and joined the other out
laws.
A moment later Detective thinner
fell seriously wounded. Being
obliged to care for the two wounded
detectives and finding their fire falling
short, the police decided to give up
the fight temporarily, and send to Chi
cago for achievements. A special
train with fifty policemen armed with
rifles was rushed to the scene.
Attic escape was now impossible,
the bandits showed no sign of submits
sion. They ran to Tolliston, exhausted
but still determined to avoid capture.
They found an engine and a train of
cars and jumped into the cab, the
engineer being away at the time. Fire
man Frank Coffey did not notice that
they We're armed. Brakeman John
Sovia did, however. and crawled over
the tender evidently to warn him.
Sovia was pitched head foremost
out Of the cab with a bullet in his
brain, dying almost instantly.
Escape on Train.
With guns pointed at Coffey's head,
he was compelled to take the train
out on a wild run to Liverpool
In the woods armed farmers at
tempted to intercept the fugitives
The posse reached Tolliston about
noon, just as the train passed. They
rushed across the prairie to a point
where the road curves and where
there was locked switch, compelling
Fireman Coffey to stop.
The posse opened fire as the train
stopped, and the trio fed to a corn
field, exchanging shots as they ran.
Niedermeier and Van Dine were
wounded and decided to surrender.
Roeski fled to the woods beyond
Liverpool. The posse found him later
in a railroad station at Aetna, wait
ing for train to Chicago. He made
no resistance.

DIFFERENTIAL TO
BE CONSIDERED
Railroads Probably Will Agree to
Four-Cent Rate from
Buffalo.
From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Build
ing, WASHINGTON


ing, Washington.
Washington, April 22.--The inter
state commerce commission will sit
in New York on May 8 fOG the pur-
pose of taking testimony preparatory
to deciding whether the differential
on wheat between Buffalo and New
York shall be abolished
This hearing will continue several
days, and while the commission has
no authority to enforce any decree
it may make, it is understood that all
the roads interested will accept the
decree and abide by it.
Meanwhile the Judgment Of the
members of the commission with
whom 1 talked to-day is that the war
on rates from Buffalo to the seaboard,
which grew out of the New York diff
ferential, and which has been oper-
ating so disastrously to Minneapolis
flour millers, will cease.
I'm fact said a member of the
commission, Il look for a satisfac-
of hostilities to be made in a few
days. The railways, L understand,
have agreed on a rate of 4 cents on
all lake grain from Buffalo to the
seaboard.' ....
u Several years ago the interstate
commission ruled that the rate on
wheat ought not to be more than 2
rate on flour between the same points
That ruling is still in force. .. -
If the Accent arrangement should
not be made, the remedy of the Min
neapolis millers will lie in a suit in
the circuit court against railroads to
compel them to observe the commits
sion's ruling.
The difference Of cents between
wheat and flour, the commission
thinks, is fair and will enable the
millers to continue business at a profit
AS a result of the Buffalo rate war,
the difference is understood to have
been more than twice that amount
at times. The question as it affects
the millers presents no phases which
would properly come within the ju-
risdiction of the department of COM
merce.
If the rate war is not stopped, the
millers should lodge a complaint with
the commission, which probably would
reaffirm its, 2-cent order. That is as
far as it can go.

llVed in Salt Lake since 1S49, but had
