THE GRosVENoR CONTEST.
Withdrawal of Candidate Latest Sen
sation in Ohio District.

Special Dispatch TO The Star
COLUMBUS, Ohio, February 17.-The riot
Gus proceedings in the Megs county con-
vention today in which Grosvenor and anti
Grosvenor republicans clashed was followed
here this evening by the formal announce
ment by f. s. Martin of Perry county of
his withdrawal from the race for the re-
publican nomination for Congress against
Gen. Grosvenor, alleging i'll health as the
reason.
Martin. who is now representing his
county In the Ohio house of representatives
had been looked upon the chief opponent
of Grosvenor. and most probable choice of
the anti-Grosvenor republicans II had been
predicted that the only chance Gen. Gros-
venor had 10 get the nomination of his
party lay in the probability of disagree
ment between the friends of Martin and
those OF Albert Douglass of Chllicothe as
to which should lead the Grosvenor opposi-
ton. 1t is therefore question as to wheth-
er. Martins withdrawal will aid or iniure
Grosvenor's chances.

MOCK ROOSEVELT WEDDING.
Trouble at Bates College Over Girl
Seniors Escapade.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LEWISTON. Me. February 17.-Consid-
cradle scandal and gossip has been caused
by the mock Roosevelt-Longworth wedding
of Bates College girl seniors a few days
ago when some of the students dressed In
mems clothes, and with mock bride and
groom went through imitation OF the
ceremony which took place at the White
House today.
AS result of the affair Miss Caroline E.
Libby, instructor in French and dean OF
the new girls dormitory, has rendered her
resignation. In addition a student COM
planned that the affair was sacreligtous, IN
asmuch as the entertainment included dane
ing, and the entire program was for the
benefit of delegates to the Young Womens
Christian Association conference at Silver
Bay.
An order has been issued by the faculty
prohibiting dancing by the girls after all
future entertainments.

STANDARD OIL ACQUIRES ROAD.
Purchase Reported Of Controlling
Stock Of Wisconsin Central.

Special Dispatch to The Star
ST. PAUL, Mimi, February lit was
learned today. through an officer OF the
Wisconsin Central railroad that the
Standard Oil Company has acquired a
controlling interest in that road and is
financing the extension from Ladysmith
Wis, to Superior and Duluth, >and is also
financing the extension of the Duluth
Rainy River and Winnipeg road, which
extends through the iron ore range, in
which the Rockefeller interest owns
large area
John d. Rockefeller is said to have per-
sonally directed this project, which has
1t is understood. brought the Wisconsin
Central under his control by the pur-
chase of stock. 1t is alleged that adj the
Northern lines, the United States Steel
Companys road, the Great Northern and
the Northern Pacific have refused to haul
the iron ore of the Rockefeller mines. and
that the purchase of the Wisconsin Cen
trail or a controlling interest in the road
is for the purpose of getting an outlet to
the ports of Lake Superior, Milwaukee
and Chicago.
That John d. Rockefeller or the Stand
ard OIL interests are back of the deal is
positively asserted by the best legal au-
thority representing both the railroad and
the Rockefeller interests.

IMPORTANT ACTION BY THE

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, February 17.-rhe
class of 1907 of the Naval Academy which
since Monday last has been the senior class
at the institution, has passed resolutions
voluntarily abandoning the practice OF haz-
ing. These will be laid before the commit
tee of Congress which is investigating af-
fairs of the Naval Academy. The third
class is expected to take similar action. 1t
Is generally agreed that this action is the
death blow to haZing, class feeling is very
strong at the Naval Academy, and it would
be impossible to keep up the practice
against sentiment of the class
The midshipman officers are all members
of the class which has just taken action
and they are responsible directly for the
discipline of the under classmen. 1t will be
impossible for hazing to exist If the mem
bers of the class really try TO nreXent il.

The flames started in the house occupied
by John burst. who was at work in the
mines, and it is believed the fire was caused
by defective kitchen range. Superinten-

practically blotted out within an hour after
the blaze started. but some of the families
saved their furniture, and arrangements
were made to house nearly all the homeless.

about $50, 600.
