REFUSE TO USE The
name OF BEARESHEAR

Ames, Dec. 1.-THE board of trus-
tees of Iowa State college at its meet.
ing Thursday turned down the petit.
ton of alumni to have the new build.
ing called "Beardshear Hail." and at
the last meeting designated it as Cen
trail Hail. No reason was assigned
why the late President Beardshear's
name should not be perpetuated by
naming the building in his honor and
considerable feeling has been stirred
up over it. The Alumnus, the official
organ of the graduate body of the
school, in its last issue made long
appeal for the naming of the new
building "Beardshear Hall" The
building will be ready for occupancy
by April.
The board formally approved the
plans presented for a new agricultur'
al hall The cost of the building
alone is estimated at $333,000. Pro
visional bids will be called for, SO
that an idea can be gained of the pro
bable cost so the legislature can
make special appropriation and the
work begun at once.
The board made up the budget that
will be presented to the legislature
amounting in all to $371,OO A spec
ial direct appropriation will be asked
for the starting of the new agricultur
al hall of $4,000; $4,000 will be re-
quested for the completion of the new
central heating and lighting plant
that was started this term; $4,000 fol-
the equipment of poultry farm; and
an appropriation of $1,000 for add
tional college land. Annual appro
priations as follows: General support
fund, $4,000; agricultural experiment
station, $4,000; engineering expert
ment station $4,000; new books fol-
the library, $4,000, and for general
equipment $4,000.
The trustees decided that the Gait
library should be installed with some
general engineering books that art
now in the college library, in the mus
cum in engineering hall where engi
neering students will have ready &C
cess to them.

|uQUOR CASE
| IS REVERSED
HamiIton-Schlitz Case From
Cedar Rapids in Now
Reversed.
WAS PENDING THREE YEARS
Supreme Court Says Jury Must De.
eide Intent of Brewing Company
as to Whether Sale Of Liquor Took
Place in or Out Of Staae.

Des Moines, Dec. 15.-An opinion
practically in line with the recent
C. o. d liquor decisions of the United
States supreme court was handed
down yesterday morning by the state
supreme court in the case of John
Hamilton against the Schlitz Brew
ing company, which was appealed from
Linn county three years ago. The
case has been held under advisement
by the supreme court for eighteen
months. Though a reversal is made
of the decision of the district court,
it is based on errors in the introduc-
ton of evidence and not on the method
OF liquor shipments and sales used
by the Schlitz company to evade the
Iowa law.
The opinion by Associate Justice
Bishop draws a distinction, however,
between the shipment of liquors c.
o. D. and shipments in the name of
the brewing company with bills OF
lading and drafts attached. The state
supreme court holds that in the lat
J ter case the question of intent as to
whether the sale took place in Wis
consin or in Iowa, was for the jury to
| determine. The lower court had per
| mitted the manager of the brewing
company to testify in this regard,
/ which the supreme court holds was
| in error.
Judge Bishop points out that the
former decision of the state supreme
| court in regard to the C. o. d. liquor
| cases, which were reserved by the
United States supreme court, was
written per curtain, and he now goes
at length to explain that opinion
The United States supreme court, al
will be remembered, recently decid
ed that liquor brought into the state
c.. o. d. by express companies wa!
under the protection of interstate com
merce laws as an act of delivery, TIL
sale having taken place in anothe
state. 1t was held that the paymen
of the c. o. d. charges was mer
incident to the delivery and did no
constitute q sale of liquor in thi
state so as to render the transactio
subject to the laws of Iowa. The II
tent of the parties to the sale as t
the place it actually occurred, whethe
at the brewery in Wisconsin or at tn
express Office in Iowa, was declared t
govern the locus of the transaction
The state supreme court now SUI
ports this view, though holding tina
, the jury should have been permitte
: to decide as to the intention of tn
company in taking the bill of ladin
in the name of it's manager and To-
/ warding them endorsed with the drat
l attached to the bank at Cedar Rapid
= In the Cedar Rapids case just RI
3 versed, Hamilton was formerly ageI
for the Schlitz Brewing company an

gal Contracts-Said to Have En-
tered Agreement with Burlington
Railway for Low Rates.

Kansas City, NJ, Dee. 16--Fourteen
indictments were returned by the fed
eral grand jury here yesterday against
commin carriers, railway officials,
shippers and freight agents. charging
the giving of rebates and conspiracy
to gain rebates.
The indictments were returned as
follows:
George II. Crosby, general traffic
manager of the Chicago, Burlington &c
Quincy railroad.
$George L. Thomas of 800 Broadway,
New York, merchandise broker.

The. Armous Packing company.
The Chicago, Milwaukee st. Paul
Railroad company.
Nelson Morris, Edward Morris and
Ira Morris, comprising the partnership
of Nelson Morris company.
d. II. Kresky, Kansas City, freight
| broker.
The charges against the Chicoga
Alton and Messrs. Faithorn and Wann
are identical with those made in the
indictments returned by the federal
grand jury at Chicago on Dec. Is.
| The indictments against the packing
companies charge that they entered
into a contract with the Burlington
railway to secure concessions on ship
ments of their products from East St.
Louis to New York for export. The
grand jury charges that the agreement
thus entered into provided fore rate
CT 23 cents a hundred pounds on these
products. Thiswas in July, 1905. The
agreement was to continue in force
until January 1906. The local rates
applied on these shipments between
Kansas City and st. Louis.
In Tugust, 1905, the joint rate on
packing house produces was raised by
the Joint Traffic association to So cent
between East st. Louis and New York.
The Burlington nevertheless, it is de.
clared, lived up to its 23 cent agree
ment with the packers in Kansas City
ind under which agreement 1t praotic'
ally carried all the packing house pro-
ducts from the city, except those of
the Schwarzchild & SulZberger Pack
ing company.
Two indictments were returned
against George l.. Thomas of New
York, who is alleged to have had a
contract with the Burlington, by the
terms of which he was to receive a Ger.
tain percentage of the freight rates
paid on all shipments more than speci
fed tonnage from New York to Kan
sas City and vice versa.
The investigation made by the grand
jury revealed the fact that Thomas
had agencies at Kansas City, Omaha
Chicago, st. Louis, Milwaukee and
other citiec.
The specific charge against the Chi
cago, Milwaukee e. st. Paul railway is
that of granting a rebate of cents
per 100 pounds, to the Howard Mills
company of Wichita, Kas., on a ship
ment of flour from Kansas City.
