One Paper Declares Decision Death.
blow to Arbitration
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 23.-A strong chord OF
Indignation is sounded by the London
daily newspapers this morning over the
semi official statement relative to the
decision of the North sea commission
giving to Russia the victory, but it is
still hoped that the publication of the
full text on the commissions report
may modify the impression produced
by the preliminary version, which is
one of intense disappointment.
The Daily Mail goes so far as to de-
clare it has dealt deathblow to ar
bitraton. Some of the newspaper
blame the government strongly for ever
consenting to subject such a matter
to arbitration, while some find cold
comfort in the fact that the country
by doing so avoided war with Russia.
No question is raised that the de-
cision must be respected and Great
Britain's share of the heavy costs will
be cheerfully paid but it is considered
that the decision leaves the question
of neutral's right on the sea in a de-
plorably unsatisfactory state and Gre
ates a dangerous precedent

IS EXONERATED
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT ON
NORTH SEA AFFAIR
ACTED WITHIN HIS RIGHTS
Commission Declares That the Conn
mander Believed His Fleet In
Danger-Report Will Be Sent
to Both Governments
BY Associated Presn.

BY Associated Press.
PARIS, Feb. 22.-A semi official
statement appeared tonight relative to
the work of the international commits
sion which has been considering the
North sea incident. 1t is as follows:
"The Hull commission met this
morning in the ministry of foreign af-
fairs and again this afternoon in order
to proceed to a final examination OF
the report before recapitulating it's con-
clusions.
"The report is rather long, compris-
ing about ten large pages. The prin-
cipal author is Admiral Won Spaun
(Austrlan), but all the members of the
commission collaborated in drawing
1t up. The commission gives no opin-
ion on the question of the presence or
absence of japanese torpedo boats in
the North sea, declaring merely that
the Russian admiral quite legitimate
ly believed that his squadron was en-
dangered and that he had the right
under the circumstances to act as he
did. The commissioners refer to the
Russian government engagement to
indemnify the victims of the deplora-
BILE incident.
"The report will be sent tomorrow
by special messengers to the Russian
and British governments not because
it is liable to notifications at the in
stance of one or other of the govern
ments, the commission decision being
without appeal, but the commissioners
do not wish the powers interested sim
ply to learn through the press of the
last public sitting and the conclusions
arrived at. There is nothing in this
preliminary communication or report
except an act of Difference"
The public sitting for the reading OF
the conclusions will probably be held
on Saturday. Members of the commits
sion who were seen tonight refused
either to confirm or deny the statement,
but officials having favorable oppor-
tuhities to judge of the results of the
inquiry consider the statement to be
correct.

TOPEKA, Kas., Feb. 22.-The Stan
dard Oil company has begun what Is
believed to be a campaign to buy ur
every Independent property in the
Kansas field and at the same time
acquire possession of all of the damag-
ing evidence that might be used
against it in the coming government
and state investigation. This informa-
ton is given out today by Mayor
Bowen of independence, headquarters
for the oil trust in Kansas.
Bowen says the Standard has ac-
quired the ownership of the Consoli-
dated Oil and Gas company and the
Interstate Oil and Gas company of
Independence.
Further he says it is reported the
Standard has bought from l. N.
Knapp, the biggest producer in the
tank line property, together with all
of his books and records. This is
taken to mean that the Standard has
bid defiance to the government and
the state and from now on it will be
an open war. The Interstate and
Consolidated companies are the heav-
lest producers of oil in the Indepen-
dence field, and, according to Mayor
Bowen, the control passed into the
hands of the Standard last Wednes-
day.

His Recovery viii Be

BY Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-While at the
University of Chicago hundreds of stu
dents were assembled to participate in
prayers for his recovery, DR.. William
r. Harper, president of the institution
this afternoon underwent a serious
surgical operation in the Presby-
terian hospital. For nearly two
years DIR. Harper has been
afflicted with severe pains in the
abdomen, and about one year ago un-
derwent an operation for appendicitis
This did not result in permanent inn
provelnent, and 1t was finally decided
after exhaustive examination by his
physicians. that second operation
was necessary. 1t was generally thought
that it would reveal cancerous con-
dition of the intestines near the head
of the colon. This diagnosis was con-
firped by the operation this afternoon.
The operation from surgical stand
point was a success. The patient ral-
lied splendidly from the shock and is
In condition that gives every promise
of an early recovery from the effects
of the operation.
Late tonight DR.. Harper had ia a.,an
into comfortable sleep and was IN
excellent condition az far as the ii,-
mediate result of the operation was
concerned. No apprehension was ex-
pressed as to his rapid recovery from
the operation proper.
college atmosphere of the average
institution of learning of today is un-
favorable to the origin and develop
ment of ministerial aspirations. Re-
ligion is practically ignored in the cur
riculum. The scientific spirit of the
day, so strongly represented in the col
lege, is not consistent with the religious
spirit prevailing in the churches"
The foregoing statement has been
made by President William r. Harper
Of the University of Chicago in his
latest report of the condition of the
Midway school, written hurriedly be-
fore preparing for the operation for
intestinal trouble today
1T is an indisputable fact that the
percentage of young men looking for
ward to the ministry as their profess
sion is decreasing" he writes. Some
of the elements contributing toward
this alarming decrease may be indi-
Gated. One of these is the change in
the relative standing of the ministry
among the professions. The position
of the minister. for various reasons,
has been steadily losing dignity and
power, while the lawyer, physician.
teacher, engineer and others have
rapidly stepped to the front. The feel
ing that perfect liberty of thought and
expression is prohibited in a great ma
jority of the pulpits prevents many of
the young men from preparing them
selves to serve the church. Further
more, inadequate salaries tend more
than anything else to decrease the in
huence and importance of the minister
in the social and civic life of the COM
munity."
Granting of pensions to professors
for long and faithful service is favored
by DR.. Harper.
