 S2OO,OOO.

Nashville, Tenn. April 2O.-The main building, a magnificent structure. of Vanderbilt University was entirely gut ted by fire just before noon today. The fire originated in the second story of the building from a defective hue. A high wind was blowing and in few minutes the entire structure was mass of flames.

BOB WATTS TO HANG.
Convicted at Guntersvflle of Murder
 fux Jack Wrinkle.

Guntersville, April 2o.-(Special.)- Bob Watts was today convicted in Circuit Court of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hanged.
 The crime for which Watts is to be hung was the killing of Jack Wrinkle, Confederate soldier, on January Il, 1905. Watts hid behind a large tree near the public road which Wrinkle was to pass late at evening from work, and as Wrinkle passed he shot him in the back with a 3S-calibre Marlin rifle. The purpose was to secure money, which Watts supposed Wrinkle carried. Wrinkle was mortally wounded. but his cries brought help and Watts fled. Watts had purposely on the same day dug a hole near the road at this place, which was supposed to be Wrinkles grave.
 The Watts family have been mixed up in several murder cases before and excitement ran high at the time.

RHuA, MInns
 San Antonio, Tex, April 20.-The six ty-first session of the American Medi- co-PsychoIoglcal Association closed this afternoon after a long and inter esting days work. The papers and discussions hinged about the proposi- tion to prevent insanity by eliminating the possibility of offspring of the per son affected by legislative enactment. The forma ton of public opinion to that end was advocated.
 St. Paul, Mlnn., was selected as the next place of meeting of the associa- tion. Interest in today's session cen tered in the paper read by MT. H. w. Miller of Taunton, Mass. MT. Miller drew the conclusion that the State should control the marriage of persons afflicted with mind maladies. Dr. O. G. Hill of Baltimore held that it would be all wrong to pass such laws. All such things always have come out all right and always will. Benign nature makes the best of every situation. The ten- dency of heredlty Is always to the bet fer. said pr. Hill.

Shortage Of Rolling Stock Roads

The transportation problem has
worked into first place in the CONNER
cial northwest and already few scat
tered complaints are in from the coun-
try of inability to secure cars. Best
local opinion is that no serious trouble
will be experienced for some little time,
in consequence of the excellent manage
ment of the traffic departments Of the
larger roads, and the anticipatory meas
ures taken some time earlier in the sea-
son. The hope is that the crop move
ment will pass without congestion and
freight lockades, but even the railroad
men are not assured of this, and no
rash promises are made.
III GLOWING thezrun of 1,34e cars of
grain into Minneapolis yesterday, 755
cars turned up this morning. This is
not a heaviersayerage than might have
been looked for, and in itself would not
embarrass the roads, but q number Of
other factors enter intose.sit this year,
not the least of which are the heavy:

There is also a. free outward run Of
freight from y Minneapolis, jobbers

for shipment yesterday, and the -four
shipments were about $4,000 barrels:
With this there lis an enormous drawing
