FIRST STEP FOR
VARSITY SENATE
DR.. NoRTHRoP ORDERS APPOINT
MENT OF ATHLETIC COUNCIL. q
Move Thought to Be First Action To-
ward Establishment of a Body to
; Pass Upon the General Affairs of the
;. University Relieve President
of, Mass of Detail Work.

! Before leaving for the south last
night Dr. Cyrus Northrop took steps
which, it is believed at the university,
will lead to the establishment Of a
university senate. The immediate &c
tion was the authorization Of Dean
Jones to appoint an athletic council to
pass upon the actions and recommends
tions Of the Intercollegiate conference
Of Nov. 25. 1t is believed that the
the field Of athletics and that it is the
attention of the president of the ami
versity to establish senate. Il
Representation in the council will
probably be based upon the attendance
Of the various colleges of the univer-
sity, and the body will be made up of
the deans and professor f2the various
schools. In addition, to- passing upon
present questions, the council will act
in the future upon all, matters of ath-
letic interest.
- The advantages and benefits of a
university senate are manifold. It will
serve. to relieve many Of the heads of
departments of a multitude of cares
and responsibilities, apart from their
collegiate work, and place questions of
university importance where they will
receive the advantage Of consideration
VI o4AS sAe~SOiOJ 1Se1SOA0 pa Ill U1AO Pt1ot
the deans have been compelled to ad.
minister affairs upon their own respon,
sibility and with only the advice of the
president. This has had the effect of
burdening the president with mass
Of detail and additional responsibility,
Could such matters be referred to a
university senate it would result in
clearing away all conflicting action
The heads of the various colleges would
have a voice in the general affairs, and
each would be given an opportunity to
not only. have the help Of others for the
benefit of his department, but could
safeguard his school from action by
others which might prove. of doubtful
benefit. - . ..-@..... - -
While Dir. Northrop has not an
nounced his intention Of establishing
a senate to control any save athletic
affairs, the general opinion turnout uni
versity circles is that the establishing
Of the council, as ordered last night
is but a first move to such an end
1t has met with the hearty appreciation
of the deans and professors thruout thu

JAIL BIRDS" GRATEFUL
Hennepin County Prisoners Give Thanks
to Benefactors.

Christmas was great day for the
men held Gin duranee vile.'' A chick
end inner, literary and musical enter
tainments and general freedom of the
jail were all enjoyed, and the accused
men today responded by presenting to
Jailer Clausen a set Of resolutions
signed by the thirty-three prisoners that
would do credit to other than the Grim
inal classes.
This resolution gives thanks to the
jailer and to w. E. Harris of the New
England Furniture & Carpet company,
who furnished a gramaphone for the
entertainment Of the prisoners and also
spoke to them. 1t concludes:
We are constrained to believe that the
milk Of human kindness has not entire
ly dried up in the human breast, and it
is just such expressions of charity as
these. that strengthen our faith in hu-
mainly and lead us to believe that the
people Of Hennepin county have done well
to select such efficient officers. Wish
ing them and theirs a merry Christmas
and a happy New Year, we commend
ourselves. y

TOLD A PITTFUL STORY .
Collier Had Much to Do with His 80
Week.

Peter Collier, who turned state g evil
dence against his pal, Harry Gilmore,
anu was released on probation under a
suspended reformatory sentence, is
again under arrest. Peter is this time
accused of attempting to defraud a
clearinghouse out. of suit; Judge +: y:
Brooks this morning took his case under
advisement. The youth will probably
have to serve out his sentence:
Collier told a pitiful story. He swore
that he was earning only 50 week,
and with that he had to put a new roof
on his house, buy wood and coal and
food and clothes for himself and his
mother. He said he had not tried to
beat the clothing house, but simply, had
to get the clothes on credit and in
tended to pay all right. He explained
that he gave fictitious name at the
store because his own name had been
blackened by his previous trouble.

The man who was killed in the Crock
er hotel disaster and identified as soon
as the body was recovered as James
Hamilton, was really George F.. Peter
son of st. Cloud, who served with the
Thirteenth Minnesota regiment in the
Philippines. The question now is:
Why was Peterson living under an as
sumed name? = " >>
The Identification was made by his
father, who lives at St. Cloud,
this afternoon from picture which
w. R. Miller, the photographer, took
for T N journal when the regi-
ment was at the Presidio, San Fran
cisco. This afternoon the elder Peter
son went to the cemetery to have the
body disinterred SO that he might make
the Identification positive.
Peterson came to Minneapolis about
three months ago and got work at the
livery stable of Mic Ronner. Yesterday
a man named Fox went to Ronner and
told him that the night before the
Croker hotel accident, he had talked
with Hamilton and had recognized in
him George Peterson, with whom he had
served in the Thirteenth Minnesota.
Nobody seemed to know why the man
was living under an alias. His father
had not seen his son for five years. He
declined to say why he left home. D..

ton has given the governor-elect more
trouble than anything else. 1t has been

will get together. Mr.. Winston has been

There are numerous board appoint

leisure. It is curious fact that the
new governor will not have the naming
of single university regent. during his
term, unless there is a vacancy. AL
the present regents hold until 1907 OF
later. Elmer E. Adams of Fergus Falls
