hottest fights ever undertaken among
students on the university campus the
friends and partisans of Ollie Snedigar
triumphed today over the supporters of

the position of graduate manager to
succeed Ezra Decoto. The position was
resigned by Decoto two months ago. his
resignation to take effect at the end of
the current college year. He had served

up the place because of his increasing
law practice.
Headquarters for each man were
maintained in fraternity houses and
bands of workers sailed forth half
hourly, armed with lists of students
who had not as yet voted. The lists
were revised every thirty minutes as
returns were brought in from the vot-
ing places. Students from the Affiliated
Colleges and the Hastings Law College
in San Francisco crossed the bay to

MAKE AFFIDAyITS AS TO
ORCHARDS CONFESSION
Governor of Idaho and Others Tell of
Statements of Self-Accused
Dynamiter.

Afidavits have been filed by the San
Francisco Gas and Electric Company,
in which they seek to show that the
confession of Harry Orchard of Idaho
that 1t was he who blew up the flats of
Walter H. Linforth at Washington and
Leavenworth streets is based on fact.
A jury found that the flats were blown
up through an exposition of gas and
gave judgment against the company for
S10,800 damages, but the gas company
now asks that Orchards confession be
taken into consideration and a new
trial granted.
Accompanying the aff1davits is a copy
of The Call of March 2 last, in which the
full story of Orchards confession is
given; in fact, the affidavits are the re-
suit of the publication of this article.
The affidavits are signed by Frank R.
Gooding, Governor of Idaho: James Nc
Partland of Pinkertons Detective
Agency, Mrs. Florence E. Seward, Sam
uel knight, John A. Britton and Sam
uel L. Naphtaly. engineer of the gas
company. None of the affidavits throw
any new light on the case, being sim
ply a confederation OF the fact that
Orchard did confess that he blew up
the flats in the hope of killing F. w.
Bradley, Occur d'Alene mining super
intendent, who resided at the Linforth
flats, and against whom the miners OF
Idaho held a grudge.
The motion for a new trial will be
heard next Friday.
