sELF-GovERNMENT AT vAssAR

So far weakness in the. student
government has resulted in reform,
not so much in this or that particu-
lar, but in general. The most not
able case of this kind occurred now
some years ago, when kind of slack
ness crept into the association and
the elders began to wonder if stu
dent government was losing its grip.
The answer to that question was the
advent of senior class persuaded in
it's own mind as to it's destiny, and
determined to impress it's conviction
upon the association. That year it's
house was swept and put into an
order which has never since been
seriously disturbed. The event not
only inspired the association with
fresh confidence in itself, and with
higher ideals, but inspired the col
lege with a confidence we'll deserved
and of which the students are fully
aware.
OF course one of the most obvious
menaces to a good government by
students is the fact that every year
it 4oses a body of its best informed
and best trained citizens, and has
to accept in their place a still larg-
or body Of the uniformed and uniform
ed coming from the comparative de-
pendence of schools S.sI families, and
likely. like any other immigrants, to
be either Indifferent or overexecutive.
1t is hard to see how any executive
body so constituted can keep to a
steady policy. Yet the association
does.-Harper's Bazaar.

TAKES PLACE OF THEATRE HAT

TAKES PLACE OF THEATRE HAT.
In regard to the removal of hats
at the theatre, and everywhere of an
evening where audiences gather, as
we'll as at matinees, the custom now
is so well accepted, all women are
extremely amiable in the matter.
Elderly ladies are equally so, and de-
serve all the more credit, for the
reason that their hair is far more apt
to be disarranged and embarrassing
to them, than when in youth hair is
abundant and strong. The couture
for women of that age which would
appeal to the majority, has been
launched abroad. It consists of low,
cap-like crown of lace, often of gold
and silver laces, as well as steel and
jet. It suggests ball couture with
it's small feather tips and it's vel
vet bows at the side. The hair Is
dressed so as to show off to advan-
tage, and with jeweled pins the coli
fure is made permanently safe for the
evening. No one can deny that this
pretty head dress would beautify the
effect of any assemblage, and in no
way interfere with the comfort OF
others.-Indianapo News.

Am AMERICAN GIRL A1 COURT.

The necessary wardrobe is no small
matter A simple court dress by Pa
quin will cost anything from $500 to
$75O-not including lace, which may
be a family heirloom above price.
The debutante's bouquet may include
800 worth of costly orchids and hot
house blooms. AS to gloves the regu
lation "a button court gloves will cost
SIS ar SO a pair at least, in Bond
street store; and for shoes. the cor
rect ones are to be bought at little
store high up on Bond street hear
the Oxford street end. These people
make shoes for the queen and prin-
cesses, and the price is SIS pair. 1t
is embarrassing to find that almost
every detail of one's attire is laid
down by law and has endured for CEN
turtles
Some points about the presentation
at court are much changed since
Queen Victoria's day. The courts" as
they are now called are held at 10
o'clock at night-an hour much more
becoming than the erstwhile afternoon
session. Also there are beautiful
bands in attendance; a most excel
lent buffet supper, and last, but by
no means least, the king and queen
sit on gorgeous thrones at the end
of huge and sumptuous saloon, in
all the glory of ermine and purple
and jewels beyond price.-Harper's

JOINT STATEHOOD BILL
IS DOOMED To DEFEAT.
Foraker's Referendum Amendment Is
Certain to Carry--Position Of
Utah Senators Doubtful.
(SneCiaI to The HeraId,l

Washington March 8I-A the close Of the statehood
fight the senate there does not seem to be much uncertain
Senator Foraker has two amendments to the bill and the sue
cess of either one will defeat of joint statehood for A
IONA and New Mexico, is believed thathe will have
New Mexico entirely from the bill, and if this carries It will
not be necessary to have vote taken upon his amendment
which provides for ratification of the constitution of the joint
separately There is some doubt as to ForakerS success
with the first named amendment but practically none in re-
gard to the second if the first one fails,
is conceded that all the Democrats will vote for the
relied upon to carry by at least four or five majority.
It is not known with certainty how all western senators
will vote, but is believed that Wyoming will divide Senator
Clark voting for ForakeS referendum amendment and War
rem voting with the committee for the bill it wishes it
passed,
The Utah senators will not indicate how they are going
to vote, but is reasonably certain they also will divide on
the question SmOO voting for referendum and Sutherland
voting with the committee.

formation as to the facts, or sugges-
tons of action along other lines.

Washington, March S.-Upon being
shown the publication in the New York
American of today regarding the al
legged granting of rebates on the trans
portation of sugar, Attorney General
Moody said:
Some weeks ago a representative of
that paper called on me and said that
information was in the possession of
that paper tending to show that large
rebates on the transportation of sugar
had been given to the American Sugar
Refining company by the trunk lines
of railroads running out of New York
City, and asking me if the department
of justice desired to use the infOrma-
ton in legal proceedings. An examin-
alton of the matter showed clearly
that it was highly important and tend

was held in New York between the at

EFFORTS TO STOP SPREAD OF CHASTITY CONSUMPTION

Disease Must Conform to the Rules or Lose
Their Places

Washington, March S.--A crusade
against the spread OF tuberculosis
among the employees Of the government
service IN Washington was today di-
rected by President Roosevelt, who is
sued an order TO the heads of all de-
partments, giving them explicit in
structions as 10 their duties in COM
batting the disease. After referring TO
the report Of the committee appointed
by an executive order of Dec. Z 1905, TO
prepare a plan for the prevention Of
tuberculosis in government offices and
workshops, the order directs that the
head Of each executive department in
Washington shall see that the printed
rules prepared BIZ the committee shall
be placed in each federal building un-
der his control; that the names of per-
sons IN his department who are af-
dicted with tuberculosis be aScerta1ned
and a copy Of the rules be presented to
each; that non-observance of the rules

ment head, be considered just cause
for separation from the service.

MERRILL'S ESTATE, S48,5OO
viii Be Divided Among Eight
Wives and FOrty-Seven
Children,
Especial to The HeraId.)

Logan. March S-Sarah A. Merrill and
several other legal heirs of the late
Apostle M. W. Merrill filed a petition in
the district court last evening praying
for the appointment of I. H Merrill as
administrators of the estate Of the dead
ecclesiastc. The hearing on the petit
ton will occur on March "a. T. H. Mer-
riu is a son Of the deceased and at pres
ent is bishop Of Richmond. The estate
is valued at approximately S4S.500. 1t
consists Of S15,500 worth of real estate
and the rest in personal property
To the ordinary observer this appears
to be quite a neat little estate, but when
it is considered that Merrill had forty
seven children and eight wives, it can
be seen that there won't be a great deal
for each individual. Most of MerrilPs
families were provided with good homes
before he died.

fine hackers case and was again cross
examined

nlafned to the witness in 1904 that the

REORGANIZATION was still uncontrolled.
Late in the day, when Mr.. Hynes was
conducting the examination for Swift &
Co. he asked the witness where he pro-
cured a list of twenty names which was
given to the department Of justice Mr..

Dispose of the Matter at
This SnSSinn.
This Session,
Especial to The Herald.)

Washington, March Sit is the in
tentiOn of Senator Burrows, chairman
Of the committee on privileges and
elections, to close the Smoot case, if
possible, at least by the first of May.
Il is believed that the majority report
Of the committee will be ready fer
presentation soon after the testimony
Of Senator Shoots witnesses is taken
during the latter part of this month,
and that during April there will be am
PIE time to discuss the case on the
floor of the senate, it being deemed
probable that practically all important
legislation excepting the appropriation
bills will be out of the way by that
time. A member of the committee
said today that unless the friends of
Smoot resort to filibustering to delay
action over the session there will be a
final vote and settlement Of the case

Washington, March S-The senate
met at II o'clock, an hour earlier than
usual. in order to afford additional
time for the discussion of the state
hood bill, but it looked for while
like that object would be frustrated
by the lack of attendance on the part
of the senator's
When the hour for meeting arrived
not a single seat in the chamber was
occupied, but as the vice president and
the chaplain entered through the north
\dcor, Mr. McCumber and Mr.. Gearin
Appeared at the opposite entrance and
k5r, Teller and Mr. Patterson came in
"a few minutes later Other senators
were slow in arriving and at 11:55,
when Mr.. McCumber began to speak on
the statehood bill, less than dozen
senators were in their seats.
Argument for the West.
Mr.. McCumber introduced his speech
by presenting a substitute for the
statehood bill creating one state out
OF Oklahoma and another out Of In
dian territory, the latter under the
name Of SequOya- in honor Of the
Cherokee scholar of that name, and en-
tirely eliminating New Mexico and
Arizona He made an argument
AGAINST the consolidation of the ter
ritories into fewer states, cOntending
that more western states were neces-
sary to give the agricultural and other
trans Mississippi interests strong rep
resentation in congress He predicted
in the near future the west would have
a much larger population than the east
and said that even if the present bOun-
dairy lines were preserved it would still
be impossible to secure as many states
as there were east of the Mississippi
and therefore the balance of power
in the senate must necessarily be
against the western sections
McCumber's Prediction.
Mr.. McCumber declared that the
time would come when the east would
find its protection in the west. He re-
ferred to the influence of foreign i'm
InipTation in eastern communities and
in this connection said that at its last
election Chicago had elected a Socialist
as mayor.
When Mr.. McCumber closed, Mr..
T,illman gave notice that as soon as
opportunity offers he viii address the

By congress on Mr.. Tillman's MOTION

ed, and alleges that Deputy Warden
Mills, who was delegated as the agent
of the state of Idaho, cOnspiTed and
confederated with the governor Of
Colorado and other parties unknown
by which the requisitiOns were hon
ored and the arrests made in such man
ner and at such time as to prevent the
petitioners from testing the legality Of
the actions in the courts of Colorado.
The allegations state that all the pro-
ceedings had are in violation of the
fourth, fifth and fourteenth amend
ments of the constitution of the United
States which guarantees the right to
be secure from unreasonable seizure;
that no person shall be held to answer
to a capital or other Infamous crime
unless on the presentment by a grand
Jury and that no man shall be deprived
of his liberty without due process OF
law.
Much interest is being taken in the
arguments tomorrow for the Indications
are that they will make clear in some
measure many points that have here
tofore been clouded.
Defense Ready for Trial.
Attorney Richardson said tonight
that the defense would be ready for
trial almost Immediately in the event
that the supreme court does not order
the release Of the men under indict-
ment. The chances are that the eases
will be set for hearing at the next
term of the Seventh district court at
Caldwell, beginning the last week in
April. An application will be made
for a change OF venue on the ground OF
prejudice, but those who are familiar
with the situation say the change will
hardly be given and that the men can
get as fair q trial in Caldwell as any
where else in Idaho.
There are no surface indications of
any excitement in Boise tonight. At
Caldwell today when Meyer, Haywood
and Pettibone arrived there was only
a small crowd to see them, and a small
er crowd witnessed their departure.
The same condition existed in Boise.
Nothing in IL.
AS TO the story of the stolen dyna-
mite, circulated from Portland several
| days ago, it may authoritatively be
1 stated that there is not now and never
was any occasion for alarm.
About sixty pounds Of black powder,
such as is used in splitting wood and
/ other work that does not require great
! explosive strength was stolen from
| the magazines All but ten pounds Of
| it has been recovered. The man who
/ stole it is known, has no connection
with the alleged dynamiters, and IS
! certain to be caught within the next
1 few days. J. L PRIEST.

Scene of Many Adventures.

Camp Floyd was the scene, however, of
stirring sights The camp was filled with
those criminals that hang to the skirts
of an Invading army, ready to plumber
and to kill Murders were frequent and
many respectable citizens fell victims to
the knife or bullet Of the thieves and as
sassins The Gashutes and Sanpitche In
dian were corrupted by the criminals and
the troops were ordered out many times
to t0uell disturbances among them
Traces of this old military camp are
to be seen not far from Fairview and
other small villages in the vicinity of the
reservation. Over most of the reserve
nothing but rabbit brush is found and
much of the land is covered with a thick
coating of aIkali.
