Prexy Was Hot.

Minneapolis, Dec. 21.-Because he
refused to obey the commands of the
president of the university, John Glea-
son, student president of the athletic
board of control of the State univers-
ity. was today threatened with expul-
sion from the institution.
Believing that he was right In ms
contention against faculty control OF
athletics and that the faculty had ex-
ceeded it's authority, Gleason refused
to comply with the orders Of Presl-
dent Northrop, and a wordy war fol-
lowed between the two, with Prof
James Paige one of the faculty mem
hers on the athletic board an ocea-
sional speaker in the conference
The trouble started some time age
when Gleason requested the resigna-
tion of Professor Paige from the tick
1T committee and Prof. w. u. Brooke
from the auditing committee of the
athletic board He appointed student
members in their places.

Mines as Coal Users.

Pittsburg, Dec. 21.-According to
the latest report Of the Pennsylvania
department of mines, anthracite coal
producers Of the state are shown to be
amongst the largest producers of coal
At some of the mines where vast
quantity of water has to be pumped
rs per cent Of the coal produced is
used for steam and heat. Steam with
which to operate shaft engines has e
be forced through more than 100 miles
/ of steam pipe; and. in order to operate
the machinery required in anthracite
mining, 460,21S horse power had e
be produced by steam in 1905. For al
these purposes the anthracite com
pany Of Pennsylvania used last yea
6,359,28O tons of coal and paid
coal bill amounting to several hundre'

TRIGGER WAS PULLED.

Chicago, Dec. 21.-An attempt was
made today by Frank f. Ellerbrock Of
this city to assassinate Judge Charles
S. Cutting of the probate court. The
attempt was almost successful, and 1t
is difficult to understand how the
judge escaped injury. He was, how
ever, unhurt. When Judge Cutting
entered the courthouse this morning
he was followed into the elevator by
Ellerbrock, who was disappointed by
a decision rendered some time ago by
Judge Cutting. Ellerbrock stepped
close to the side of the judge and
drawing a revolver placed 1t against
the judges side and pulled the trigger.
The Judge moved slightly at the In
stant the cartridge exploded and the
bullet passed through his clothing
without touching him. Ellerbrock
made another attempt to fire the re-
volver, but was overpowered before he
could do so. He is thought to be in

Women 70 Grade Tobacco.

Hartford, Conn, Dec. 21.-Ware-
house owners in this state are now
experimenting with women tobacco
sorters. Sorters now receive up to
1925 a day, as compared with $3.50
a few years ago, bat the advanced
price has not served to attract COM
petent help. Women and girls have
been employed In tho warehouses for
several years to size the leaf, but
have not hitherto been trusted with
the responsibility OF grading o. sort
I ing the leaf. warehouse owners are
confident that the women will learn
as rapidly as men and that Their
Judgment will prove as good The
introduction of women into the bnsi-
ness is not for the purpose of cheap
ening labor but to solve the labor
/ shortage.
