DEAN HUTTON DIPLOMATIC.
His conciI;atory Attitude Averts seri
Gus Trouble at Columbia.

New York. Dec. 27.-Quiet reigns at
missed after the holidays. The exodus
of students for the holidays. together
with the course of Dean Hutton in
placing action upon the recent inter-
class outbreak in the hands OF the
student board. Of representatives, has
given time for the trouble over the re-
cent attempt of hazing to blow over.
1t. is believed that no recurrence OF
hostilities will come when the students
get back.
Kingdom Gould, over whom the fracas
originated, is to return to college. It is
the understanding between students
and faculty that he is not to be mo-
Tested further.
The conciliatory action Of Dean Hut
ton checked the growing determination
OF the students to leave the university
should President Butter persist in his
attitude. 1t seems likely that the sus-
pended men will be reinstated i'm
mediately after the Christmas holidays.
The university will have dealt out
Justice by suspending the men, but the
students will not lose any time from
their college lectures.
The feeling against the faculty has
been mollified, but the spirit as far as
young Gould in concerned remains yery
bitter. However, in view Of the de-
termination Of the faculty to put stop
to malicious hazing, If the student
body will not, 1t is not probable that
any direct attacks on him will be ven
tured.

Saw Reports Arc False.

Naples, Dec. 27.-W. S. Fielding, A.
nancing minister in the Canadian cab
met, arrived on board the steamship
Celtic last evening.
Interviewed by the Associated Press
concerning the petitions filed in the SUI
preme court against himself, Sir Fred
erclS w. Borden, minister of militia
and defense, and eight other leading
liberal members of parliament from
Nova Scotia, asking that their seats In
parliament be declared vacant on the
ground of alleged bribery committed by
agents on their behalf in the general
election of November 8, Mr.. Fielding
said the reports Of corruption in the
election were absolutely without foun-
dation and that everything was per-
fectly regular in connection with the
Eelections which occurred three days
prior to his departure. There always
were some persons among the opposi-
ton, Mr.. Fielding said, who spread re-
ports, but, Notwithstanding all these
efforts by the opposition, the govern
ment was returned by largely in
creased majority and the opposition
was hopelessly beaten. Mr.. Fielding
election hinged as, first, the proposition
to build new transcontinental line,
and, second, the fiscal question.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier's fiscal policy, he
said, was supported by the people and
meant moderate progress in the direc>
ton of free trade, while the policy Of
the opposition favored a higher pro-
tective tariff.

The explosion was in small building

BRokER COMMITS SUICIDE.
Wall Street Promoter, Losing Heavily,
Puts Bullet Thru hia liead.

New York, Lee. 27.--Weil,hed down
by financial ruin, George S., Evans,
until recently a well known Wall
street broker and promoter, who at
tempted to kill himself last July, COM
mitted suicide early yesterday in the
Hotel Metropole, Jersey City, after
writing a note asking his father-in-
law, James l.. Andrew, Of Bloomfield,
N. j., to break the news to his wife.
who was awaiting his return home.
A pistol shot in the mans room caused
the proprietor of the hotel to summon
a policeman, and on entering the room
Evans was found lying dead in bed
with bullet hole in his right temple.
He left note to the hotel man.
which read: Communicate with j.
L. Andrew, of 3S7 Bellville avenue.
Bloomfield, N. j. My wife is there ana
he will lovingly break the news"
The note, which was written In lead
pencil on small pieces of paper, was
unsigned. A revolver lay beside the
dead man.
Evans was wellknown in Wall street
where he was secretary of the Amer
lean Fuel Company until two months
ago. Last summer he was a heavy fl
nancial loser and after brooding some
time over his bad fortune made the
first attempt on his life July 2. He
was frustrated and pistol he had was
taken from him.

SHE SUES 70 RECOVER TITLE.
Property in Western States Valued d,
$60000 Is Involved

San Francisco, Dec. 27.--A special
from Oakland to the Examiner says:
Attorney j. c. Campbell, and John A.
Benson, the land broker, are defend
ants in suit filed in the Modoc county
superior court by Mrs. Mollie Conkling
of Berkeley to recover the title to
lands in Tulare, Plutarc and Modoc
counties, in this state, and other lands
In Nevada, Oregon and Washington.
The value of the property involved is
said to be 100000. 1t was mostly ac-
quainted under lieu land script issued
by the government in exchange for
lands in the Sierra forest reserve. One
of the complainants is Thomas H.
Walker, the millionaire lumber dealer
Of Minneapolis. Against some serious
allegations made in the complaint, all
of the defendants now living say there
is nothing informal about the transac-
ton, and that the charges are based
on an ENHANCEMENT over the point
tenancy Of original owners.

rrain sinks Into Lake.

San francisco, Dec. 27.-Shortly at
ter the Overland east-bound limited
passed over the Lucin cutoff, which
crosses a narrow neck in the Great
Salt Lake. track walker discovered
Saturday that a portion Of the grade
had disappeared from sight, and on ex-
amining the place it was found that
it had sunk nine feet.
The cutoff is not dangerous for Its
entire length, but in many places 1t has
sunk below the established grade, and
in other places the crust below the sur
face of the lake has swelled and raised
the grade.
The cutoff is considered unsafe by
the railroad employees, and the officials,
in order to avoid an accident, keep
guards along the line for the entire dis
tance across the lake. When spikes
were driven into the bottom Of the lake
in some instances they would penetrate
a hard c,lrst and then sink for many
feet into The mud.

Pekin, Dec. 27.-The authorities here
have demanded of the Chinese authors
ties the return of three million rounds
of ammunition seized at Fengtai, said

contained in large bales of cotton and
consigned to a European resident of
Pekin
