SHALL GOODS RULE IN
ALICE SHEVLIN HALL?

Control Of Alice Shevlin hall by self
government or committee government
is the question up for settlement by
the co-eds at the University Of Mime
sofa. They have been solving it thru
the medium of closed ballot today.
The problem was brought to an issue
by the dedication yesterday Of the new
building, given to the women of the
university by Thomas Shevlin. This
is to be headquarters for all the girls
OF rules and regulations will be neces-
sary for their government. The two
methods under discussion consist of
government under an appointed facul-
ty committee or system of govern
ment by their own officials.
There seems to be a difference of
opinion among. the girls, and several
OF them have been carrying on a sys-
tematic campaign in behalf of self
government. President Northrop has
expressed himself as heartily in favor
Of the government plan.
The problem was the subject of a
long discussion by all the women in
the university in mass meeting today.
After the meeting a ballotbox was
opened and the matter will be settled
by vote. s. ..-
The system Of self-government is the
one in use at Wellesley and other east
ern colleges for women. s..

SCORES OF BOYS

THREE ARE HELD AS THIEVES,
EACH NAMED ANDERSON.
One Young Prisoner Declares Many
Youths Are Stealing from Business
Places and Planting the Loot-Co Coinci-
dence in Names of Trio Locked Up.

Three boys, each about II years old
and each giving the name Of Anderson,
are locked up as thieves at Central po-
lice station. 81
The boys are in no way related and
each one worked Independently. The
police say they have made damaging
admissions. One of them told Detect
ives Passolt and johnson that there
were dozens of boys Of their own age
stealing from stores and planting their
loot until they can dispose of it easily.
Edward Anderson is charged with
stealing caps and gloves from cloth
Ing store, and Andrew Anderson is &C.
cused of stealing fur collars from de-
partment store. Both boys are from
good families and do not look to be II
years Old. As they are little older,
however, they will have to be tried in
police court. g..
Henry Anderson, the boy arrested as
a burglar yesterday, is a little under
the age and will be tried in the iuve-
nile court. In spite of his youth he
seems to take pride in the fact that he
has successfully broken into several
buildings and escaped with his loot.
Tho refusing to tell just what places he
has robbed, he says he is real burglar
and promises to take his punishment
like a man.
Edward and Andrew Anderson were
arraigned in police court today and
their cases were continued until to-.
morrow.

TROLLEY SUPPLY CARS
ILLEGAL, is CHARGE

!, Asserting that the franchise of the
Twin City Rapid Transit company per-
mits the operation of cars for the sole
purpose Of carrying passengers, attor-
neys for Albert Youngquist, admins
traitor Of the estate Of Fred Krause,
will endeavor to prove that the opera
tion Of supply cars by the company is
illegal and in violation Of franchise
rights. The question is involved in a
suit for $4,000 damages as the result of
the death Of Krause, who was run into
and killed on Aug. 7, by a supply car.
In their complaint against the COM
pany, the attorneys for the plaintiff not
only allege that the car which ran down
Krause was exceeding the speed limit
established by city ordinance, but they
assert that there were no air brakes in
operation on the car and that the car
was being operated in violation Of the
company's franchise. Officials of the
Twin City company assert that it is
necessary to run supply cars in order
to operate passenger cars, and are not
inclined to take the complaint seriously.
