Chicago University Professor Turne.
Down by Trades Assembly.

Chicago University Professor Turned,
Down by Trades Assembly,
Columbus, O., Dec. 14.-Consider-
able comment has been occasioned at
the action of the Columbus trades and
labor assembly in declining to accept
the services of professor of the Chi
cago university to deliver course of
lectures here under the auspices of the
assembly. The assembly was asked to
pay a portion of the expenses of the
professor and the assembly promptly
declined to receive the services of the
Chicago man. The reason given is
that the Chicago university has. had
John D. Rockefeller as a benefactor
and it is almost entirely due to his
contributions that the university owes
its extensiveness and high rank In the
educational world. One of the dele
gates maintained that the professors
at the University of Chicago had to
teach and stand for the things that
were favored by the oil magnate and
when they ceased to do this their posi-
tons were jeopardized. In view of
this the proposition was turned down
and committee consisting of Dele
gates Phelan, Houck and Little APP
pointed to arrange for lectures, secur-
ing them from Source above sus-

Ottawa, Kan, Dec. i Governor E.

AT this time the Kansas oil field is
yielding 10000 barrels a day. an insig-
nificant part of its capacity, and for
this oil the Standard OIL company.
which sets the price, is paying less

/ believe 1t could pay 81 per barrel for
this oil more than it is paying and
still make large profit. In other
words It is robbing the people OF $780,
900 q day, or $22.000. 900 q year. We
sit supinely down while We are being

SECRETARY ROOT WANTS
BETTER CONSULAR SERVICE.


Washington, Dec. "A. Secretary Of
State Root attended the meeting Of the
senate committee on foreign relations
during the day. He discussed the bill
introduced by Senator Lodge providing
for the reorganization of the consular
I service. It is understood that the Isle
of Pines treaty and the treaty relating
to Santo Domingo were considered
briefly.
The secretary Of state asked that
the consular service be classified and
the president authorized to assign
members of the classes proposed to
such postssas the interests Of the serv-
Ice require instead of having appoint
ments made for specified posts. The
creation of an adequate Inspection
service and the abolishment of the fee
system was recommended by Secre
tary Roo, in accordance with the rec
concentrations made by President
Roosevelt in his message to congress.
This would necessitate material in
crease in salaries at cOnsulates where
the fee system has been followed. An
increase in working forces was asked
for, the secretary saying that at q
number of foreign posts there are not
sufficient employees for the perform
ance Of duties imposed by the immi-
grafton laws. The need of suitable
quarters for embassies and legations
was emphasized by the secretary. who
declared that the poor accommoda-
tons provided detract from the re-
sspect to which the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of this government are en-
titled. Secretary Root also asked the
committee to make provision for the
creation Of the post Of minister to the
new kingdom OF Norway.

SELECTING A JURY.
Proceedings In Beef Trust Cases at
~ = = q Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE examination
of yeniremen in connection with the
selection of the first jury in the .tbeef
trust" cases began during the day in
the United States district court before
Judge Humphrey. The jury to be
chosen will try the last preliminary
plea of the twenty-one defendants.
The chief question to be decided is
whether the packers gained immunity
under the Investigation of Commits
sioner of Corporations Garfield, the de
tense of the packers being that Com
missioner Garfield promised them inn
munity from criminal prosecution pro-
yided they would make statements to
him. Other points to be decided are
whether the report of Commissioner
Garfield was used in securing the in
dictment of the defendants and
whether evidence was seized by the
government without proper process of
law.
