University of Arkansas Boys in Riot
at Fayetteville.

Fayetteville, Ark, Nov. 19.-Henry
Rough, policeman, was shot and
seriously injured here Saturday night
during riot with students of the
University of Arkansas. Three hun
dred college boys were parading the
streets and giving their college yells
because of an athletic victory over a
rival college. When the officer asked
the students to be less riotous they
defied him and he arrested one of
them.
The students then surrounded the
officer and in the melee which fol-
lowed he was shot in the back. Rough
released the boy under arrest and
fired several shots at the fleeing
crowd, but none took effect.

Many of them had been in line for

less advantageous position in the line,

that other occupants of the building

Teachers Meeting.

Winona-The most successful con-
vention in the history of the South
eastern Minnesota Educational asso-
citation closed after a three days
session in Winona. In a large meas
ure this success was due to the untir-
ing work of Supt. Kunze of Red
Wing, who was, the president. He
secured wide advertising, which
brought out a large attendance, and
he prepared an elaborate program,
providing for many sectional meet
ings, which were held.
At the business session Rochester
was chosen as the next place of meet
ing, and the following officers were
elected: President, Supt. E. L. Pot
ter of Hastings; secretary and treas
urer, Supt. w. @. Herman of Ma
zeppa; executive committee, Supt.
s. Overhelt of Rochester, Miss Theda
Gildemeister of Winona.

The Fairmont Times evidently be-
Iieves Fairmont merchants are not

or at least that Is what is to be in
ferred from the following editorial
from that paper on the subject:

Like the wheeling IntelIigencer
the Telegram can say Senator EIlsins
has outlined the most sensible and
business like plan of upbuilding the
American merchant marine. In dis
cussfng the proposed subsidy bill a
few days ago. the InteHigencer point

bill would benefit only few large
steamship companies All measures
carrying premiums for mail service
lines have been open to this objec-
ton Mr. Elkins' plan is simplicity
itself. and seems to solve the prob
lem He would impose an addition
al tarin duty of 10 per cent. on ali
importations, carried in foreign
ships The effect of such a meas
ure would be at once to create an
enormous ocern carrying trade for
American ships. Nor would any for
eign nation retaliate, as the most
that any of them could do would be
to exclude American vessels from
carrying their fmportations. The
American trade itself, however,
would be ample to maintain an enor-
nous merchant marine
The necessity for the upbuiIding
OF the American merchant ships is
too apparent to need argument The

seems the best suggestion yet made.
1t is certainly infinitely better than

for the holiday season. It is hop
ed that this is true by several thou

homes would appreciate the reduc-

them to do little more towards the
