STUDENTS STRIKING
Move for Academic Liberty"
In Germany

BERLIN, Feb. 22.-The students of
the Technical institute at Hanover
have declared a general strike, refus-
ing to attend lectures until the case of
a student who was expelled several
days ago shall have been reheard-
Only three students attended the lee
ture of President BarkhOusen today.
The trouble originated in the recent
race riots at Innsbruck university.
Hanover students were censured for
telegraphing resolutions of sympathy
to German students at Innsbruck.
1t is said that this is the first in
stance since 1S47 that the students OF
any institution in Germany have
struck. The students in this instance
had the support of part of the fac
ulty. The students of other universe
ties making common cause with the
Hanoverians have started a movement
on behalf of academic liberty" which
is spreading rapidly.

Hoosier Statesman Astonishes

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 22.=
When the Parks anti-cigarette bill
came up in the house of representa-
tives today Representative Ananias
Baker created a sensation. In ex-
planning his vote for the bill he OPEN
ed a sealed letter which he declared
had been sent to him by "the cigarette
trust" and took out hundred dollar
bill, which he waved before the mem
bers. The effect was apparent In the
immediate overwhelming vote in favor
of the bill, which was passed by vote
of "a to II.
Mr.. Baker refused to expose the
name of the person who had sent him
the money. He called a page, and,
putting the bill back in its envelope,
sent it up to Speaker CantwelI. Speak
er Cantwell ordered an investigation
Ele Stansbury, chairman of the COM
mittee on judiciary, called a meeting
of the committee Immediately. In re-
ply to a question, Mr. Baker said:
Il said that it was sent to me by the

Mr.. Baker was severely criticised for
his action by some members of the
house. Others commended him. When
the name of Mr.. Baker was pronounced
on the roll call, he said:
"Mr. Speaker. 1 wish to explain my

PRESIDENT HARPER
LEARNS HIS DOOM
Operation Proves the Head of
Chicago University Has
Cancer

CHICAGO, Feb. 22-While at the
: University Of Chicago hundreds of stu
dents were engaged in prayers for his
recovery, DR.. William F. Harper pres
ident Of the institution, today under
went surgical operation at the Pres
byterian hospital.
For nearly two years DR.. Harper has
been afflicted with severe pains in the
abdomen and about one year ago ur-
derwent an operation for appendicitis
This did not result in permanent inn
provement and it was decided that a
second operation was necessary. 1t
was generally thought by the physi-
clans that it would reveal a cancerous
condition of the intestines near the
head of the colon. This diagnosis was
confirmed by the operation this after
noon.
The operation from a surgical stand
point was success. The patient rail-
lied splendidly from the shock and
tonight is in a condition that gives
every promise of an early recovery
from the effects OF the operation. The
ultimate recovery of DIR. Harper is a
matter on which the physicians decline
to commit themselves, but merely ex-
press the greatest hope that the dis
ease may be checked"
DR.. Harper was afflicted with car
cinoma of the posterior head of the
colon and the disease had progressed
so far that it was found impossible to
remove all of the diseased tissue.
After the conclusion of the opera
ton DR.. Sem, of Chicago. one of the
attending physicians. made the direct
declaration that DR.. Harper was af-
fiicted with cancer, while a bulletin
issued by DR.. Billings said that Drs.
McBurney and Bevan were of the opin-
ion that the trouble was cancer. DR..
Billings himself would express no opin-
ion.
Tonight DIR. Harper had fallen into
a comfortable sleep. No apprehension
was expressed as to his rapid recov-
cry from the operation proper 1t was,
however, decided by the physicians
that it would be necessary to continue

declares that rusted wheat that will

very little of the wheat crop in the

OF the region affected by rust than
take any chances, the crop experts say.
Widespread interest
The fact that so large a percentage
of the wheat crop of 1904 for Mime

rust has caused widespread interest in
the question: VIII rusted wheat pro-

The experiments of the Minnesota

that no wheat which will not weigh
ffty-five pounds to the bushel should
be used for seed purposes. Inferior
grades of wheat, planted at the same
time and under like condition with the
better grades, show stunted growth
and produce stalks that the experts say

PARIS, Feb. %. A semi. official
statement appeared tonight relative to

sion considering the North sea Incl
dent. 1t says:
The principal author of the report
is Admiral Won Spaun (Austrian), but
all the members of the commission
collaborated in drawing il up. The
commission gives no opinion on the
question of the presence or absence Of
japanese torpedo boats in the North
sea, declaring merely that the Russian
lmiral quite legitimately believed
that his squadron was endangered and
that he had the right to act as he did
The commissioners refer to the Rus

incident. The public sitting for the

ably be held Saturday."

LONDON, Feb. ga strong chord
Of indignation is sounded by the Lon
don 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 full text of the
commissions report may modify this
impression, which is one of intense dis
appointment.
The Mail declares that the decision
has dealt a death blow to arbitration.
Some of the newspapers blame tn
government strongly for ever consent
ing to subject such a matter to arbi-
tration, while some of the government
organs find cold comfort in the fact
that the country by doing so avoided
war with Russia. No question is
raised that the decision must be re-
spected, and Great Britain's share of
the heavy costs will be ruefully paid:
but it is considered that the decision
leaves the question of neutraPs rights
on the sea in a deplorably unsatisfac-
tory state and creates dangerous
precedent. The Post says:
"a new dogma of international law
is thus established, under which the
commander of a belligerent. fleet may
attack and destroy neutral unarmed
vessels without any other plea than
that he conceived his ships might be

species of fright, strange TO the United
States senate. has seized that body, and
1t need surprise nobody if the river

ings bill are not allowed 10 pass. Some
OF the leading senators on the Repub-
lican side are frightened over the pros
pect that the present deficit in the

suit Of the large appropriations author
lied at this session. Talk of economy
is strange thing in the senate, and It
lis almost invariably true that every
one of the large supply bills is In
creased as to the size Of its expendi-
lures when the measures come over 90
the senate from the house.
Long before any of the annual appro-
priation bills for the present session
had been framed up, there was a good
deal of talk among the house leaders
as to the necessity of keeping down the
aggregate of expenditures to be au-
thorized for the next fiscal year Speak
er Cannon was, of course, the leader in
this programme of economy, and he
had the active support of some of the
leading members of the house. The
economy talk lasted until two weeks
ago, and then it became evident that
the desire for pork would become so
insistent as TO override the conserva-
tive plans OF the leaders.

 of Ten Years.

saturday afternoon Deputy $. B. swan received message from Sheriff Williams who was in Little Rock at the time, that the case of Casteel ys The State had been affirmed, and to arrest the defendant and bring him to Little Rock on the night train.
 The deputy, accompanied by Con- stable Stockard, proceeded to carry out his instructions. They found Oordon at one of the saloons. He was utterly surprised at the decision of the Court. He could hardly realize that his last hope had vanished. He believed absolutely that he would get a new trial and finally be acquitted. He submitted to arrest without a word of complaint, and was placed in Jail. About 9 o'clock he was hand cuffed and escorted down town by the deputy sheriff, and later taken to Little Rock by Swan and Wilder, who were armed to the teeth as though they had "a bad man from bitter creek' in charge.
 Arriving in Little Rock Gordon Casteel was placed in the penitentiary to remain for ten long years unless pardoned by the Governor or death or escape shortens the term, neither of which is remote probability.
 The crime for which this young man is thus tahen from his family and lodged in felon's cell is too we'll known to bear repeating at length. On Christmas evening, 1903, he shot and killed Hall Sanders without provocation and in cold blood. He made a feeble defense that it was an accident, though he did not seem to be able to impress this theory upon any person who heard his testimony. He was tried and convicted in 1904, and sentenced to seventeen years in the penitentiary. Through his attorney, Hon. R. J. Williams, he succeeded in getting the degree of his offense lowered, and new trial. Upon being tried the second time the court was very careful to admit no errors, going so far as to admit and rule out evi- dence contended for by the defendant, npon which the court really believed to the contrary, but which in no wise the verdict.
