chosen. may success ever mark your
pathway.
Miss Jane e. Devers responded to
the address Of welcome representing
the class. She expressed the appre-
citation Of the class for this welcome
and hoped that u efforts would be
as successful as yours has been. She
referred to the saying that the
.."school mainland the old maid are
Synonymous and said we are ready
to go out into u profession. The
faculty has been more than faculty
to us-they have been friend and
adviser and we leave with the kind
est feelings and the best of wishes
for our alma mater.
A piano solo was given by Hazel j..
Lathrop ana also a reading by Miss
Flora Cope, both of which were much
enjoyed.
Prof. L. f. Graham in his remarks

keep time with the progress Of the
institution. He congratulated the

DR.. Nicholson gave the closing adj

wonderful influence which The alumni
can have on Dakota Wesleyan. He
said: 81 appreciate what the noted
and influential men OF the state who
have been with us can do for our coll
lege but in a way the alumni and the
teacher can do more.n He referred
to the incident in his early boyhood
how he received his inspiration for a
college education from a noble heart
ed school teacher. The teachers who
go out from here send more to this
college than can all others. The
teacher has a great throne of power.
When in your school pick out two,
three or four and insIill into them
the ambition for an education. No
one feels the love TO. the institution
as do the graduates and it is to you
that we look for great work or our
college.

W. A. Mccormack has sued E. /.
Wemple for $500 and interest and
charged him with deceit in the mat
ter of the sale of 10000 shares of stock
in the Mercedes Oil and Development
Company. The plaintiff bought the
shares in June, 1901, and alleges that
they are now valueless. He declares
that Wemple's representations regard

CHEUNC HIRES
MANY WYERS
But Their Headway Is Small
Thus Far in Motion to
Quash Murder Indictment
GRAND JURORS TESTIFY
Andrews and BOwes of the
Committee Did Not Vote
on the Final Accusation

Chan Cheung, the big man Of China
town, whom the Grand Jury indicted
for completely in the murder of Tom
Yick on May 8, 1903, is not lacking in
counsel of wise men of the law. When
the motion to quash the Indictment
came up for argument before Judge
Lawlor yesterday Ex-Governor Budd,
Frank v. Bell, Henry c. Dibble and
Oliver Dibble were on hand to represent
the prisoner.
The grand jurors were in attendance
as witnesses under subpoena by the de-
fendant, whose plea is that the charge
of murder was not made against him
in good faith, but because he would
not tell, as the inquisitors believed he
could, of the police corruption in China
town. Budd promised to show that the
police committee of the Grand Jury
held Chan Cheung in close confinement
for forty-eight hours in the hope of ex-
tracing information from him concern
ing the protection fund raised among
the Chinese gambling-houses, and con-
stantly held over him the threat that If
he did not divulge the story of grating
he would be made to answer for the
death of Tom Yick.
Budd received a setback, however,
when he called Foreman Andrews and
E. ]. Bowes, the two members of the
jury who "sweated' the defendant.
They were the committeeman who
threatened Chan Cheung. But In find
ing the indictment for murder they had
refrained from voting, so no improper
motive could be laid bare there.
With Andrew NJ. Davis, another men,
Der of the police committee, the attor-
neys for the prisoner had more success.
While Davis did not have anything to
do with the secret arrest of Chan
Cheung and the all-night tussle with
him at the Lick House. Davis talked
with Bowes and Andrews and learned
in general way of what had occurred.
Notwithstanding that he had knowl-
edge of what the police committee had
done in trying to force confession
from the Chinese, the juror voted to in
dict him for murder.
The disputed question of just how
far the defense can go in their inqui-
ries as to the actions of the grand
jurors was not decided yesterday.
Bowes, Andrews, Davis, Stafford and
Secretary Bryan are to be recalled
when the case is taken uD again next
Saturday morning. All the other jurors
were excused.
Meantime Chan Cheung, who is one
of the wealthiest men in Chinatown
must languish in the County Jail. Since
his incarceration he has removed his
queue, covered the shaved parts with a
wig and altogether discarded Oriental
dress. He has undergone a thorough
course of Americanization since that
trying night when he baffied Andrews
and Bowes They believe that they had
him at the point of confessing as the
dawn appeared, and their mistake lay
in allowing him to fortify himself with
hearty breakfast, for which he ex-
pressed dire need.
Three indictments weres presented by
the Grand Jury to Judge Lawlor yes
terday morning, and the bench war
rants were issued. Louis Epstein, who
was accused of receiving stolen prop
erty, was arrested last evening.

CHINESE BUSINESS MEN
BRING DISPUTE TO COURTS
Wong Dean Claims That He Is Per-
secuted by Commercial Rivals
Because of His Success.

A report reached this city, yester-
day that the Chinese Minister at
Washington had been very much dis
pleased because the Chinese Vice Con-
sui at this port had taken an active
part in the prosecution of Wong Dean
in proceeding to have Wong deport-
ed as laborer. Wong Is possessed Of
considerable means and has been en-
gagged in the business of selling dried
shrimps. He became involved in a
business dispute with a rival COM
pany in which his friends say that the
Vice Consul has an interest.
Shortly after the beginning Of the
dispute Wong was arrested for de-
portation on the ground that he him.
self had performed manual labor in
preparing shrimps for shipment. He
employed former Governor James H.
Budd to defend him and the case has
been heard by United States Commis-
sioner Heacock.
Acting upon representations made
by the Chinese Minister, the Attorney
General has ordered a strict investiga-
tion into the affair, with instructions,
should the case be one of prosecution
because of business rivalry to have it
dismissed.

REFUSES TO CONTINUE
STREET REPAIR WORK
f. NJ. Yorke Company Notifies Board
of Works That 1t Will Proceed
IL Bills Are Paid


The F. M. Yorke Company yester-
day formally notified the Board of
Public Works that it would not con-
tinue the work of repairs to bitumin
Gus pavements under its contract as
requested to do by the Finance Com
mittee of the Board of Supervisors.
The members of the company declared
that they would proceed with the
work only on condition that their bills
for August and September, which
have been held up by. the committee,
be paid at once and that the specifica-
tIons under which the contract was
let be strictly complied with in the
future.
President Schmitz of the Board of
Public Works Immediately sent a COM
munication to the Finance Committee
regarding the ultimatum of the COM
pany and a reply will be forthcoming
at to-morrows meeting of the Finance
Committee. The Yorke Company not
only takes exception to the non-pay-
ment of their demands, but bitterly
complains of the abrogation of its
contract to pave H street because the
Supervisors did not formally order the
work done, although an appropriation
was specifically made in the budget
for the improvement. 1t is pointed
out that although the work of i'm
proving Nineteenth avenue also was
not ordered, yet George Cushing, to
whom was awarded the contract
therefor, has received his money for
the work. 1t is likely that some ac-
ton will be taken by the Finance
Committee looking to the award of a
new contract for repairing bitumin-
Gus pavements.
