Two young instructors of the engi-.
neering department, Just beginning
their first year at the university, were
the victims of the. mistake.

E Christiania, Oct. 4--The attempt to
create agitation in favor of Norwegian
republic is finding no support from the
country. The leaders of the movement
appealed for addresses for presentation
to the storthing in, favor of a republican
form of government, but so far. the ap-
peal has met with no response.
The commercial and industrial inter-
ests appear to desire no. disturbance of
the existing order OF things. AT an inn
portant meeting held here of Tepresen-
tatives of commercial and shipping in
terests it was unanimously resolved to
present an address to the storthing de-
claring that the submission of the sub
ject of a change in the constitution to
the plebscite would greatly iniure the
country,s economic interests. ~
3sT The country, the resolution said,
wanted to return to fixed and assured
situation which would only be possible
by limiting the national efforts to a
platform adopted BY the storthing June
y, the day the decision was reached to
separate from Sweden, which favored
the maintenance of the monarchial con-
stitutioni '@7@92 <.s a
! An address was drawn up embodying
the foregoing and in addition asking the
storthing. to insure tranquility by the
speedy election of king. st,5
It was presented to the stortting by

MUST ANSWER QUESTIONS

ST. Paul, Oct 4.-Judge Van Devent,
in the United States circuit court, late
yesterday afternoon, decided that the Of
ficers OF the Hennepin Paper Co., the
Itasca Paper Co and the Northwest
Paper Co. should appear before the
United States examiner and answer such
questions as might be asked of them
in the hearing of the case of the United
States against the General Paper Co.
and twenty-three other defendants. The
court also decided that the books and
papers fnentionedin the subpoena should
be produced and be submitted to the
government for examination. The court
in rendering the oral opinion in the case
held that a corporation under the con-
stitution stood in the same relation to
the statute of immunity as an individual
61e held that corporation could tes-
tify against itself so far as it could
speak through its officers, its books and
records, and that in the case at issue it
should give the testimony desired, but
that under the statute of immunity it
could not be prosecuted crirninally for
any revelations that might be made on
the witness stand.
AS to the matter Of odium of the
charge which was one of the points ras-
ed, the court held that it could not be
helped. The matters desired were per-
tinent to the issue and the government
should have its requests granted. The
court did not decide that the defend
ants were in contempt That, he said,
would come if the witnesses continued
