THE GRILL DIDN'T WORK
AT MACMILLAN FARE
WELL DINNER WERE TOO FULL
OF REGRET.

Professor Conway Mcmillan g pros
pective departure for Philadelphia,
where he will become identified with
large advertising agency, was the oc-
casion last night Of one Of the most
notable dinners ever held at the Com
friends Of the professor, representing
not only the club but prominent inter
.ests Of every sort, sat down at g clock
to discuss an elaborate menu.
Altho Henry Deutsch as toastmaster
warned the gathering that no speaker
was to be permitted to eulogize the
guest Of honor the grilling was not par
t!cularly spontaneous. Here and there
Nl the various talks following the
spread some rather keen hits were made
but thru it all and under it all ran a
deep undercurrent Of genuine regret
that man so versatile not only in
his professional accomplishments but
in the art of friendship was to be lost
to the city. AS token of this feeling,
Professor Macmillan was presented at
the close. of the affair with hand
some Shrine button and gold watch
with thirty-second degree Scottish
Kite emblem as a pendant. In spite
of the fact that it was the hottest night
of the year, the regrets received; were
remarkably few in number. # Il
PRESIDENT Cyrus Northrop, the first
after-dinner speaker, studiously kept
away from his subject, which was
| rather suggestive Of the gridiron. He
preferred. rather, to express his warm
appreciation of the work done by Pro-
fessor Macmillan in the university and
mental equipment should not be wholly
devoted to sordid commercialism.
Fred r. Salisbury, president Of the
Commercial club, attempted to discover
the blessings accruing to the club from
the prospective departure, but did not
make particularly glittering success
of it. Former Mayor W. II. Eustis
jocularly recounted some Of his ex-
periences as a friend of the guest Of
the evening, and was followed by Dean
G. W. Hall Of the University Of Min
nesota. who spoke more particularly in
regard to the professor IS faculty for
keeping other persons proftably en-
John T. Baxter kept the gathering
in continuous roar of laughter with
his witty comparisons between the
work of the scientist and the position
occupied by the bar In contrast with
Hall, who took the more serious view,
and indicated prospective benefits to
Minneapolis thru having an advertis.
ing agent in the east
After Secretary E.. j. Westlake Of
the Commercial club had recounted
some Of the family history of that or.
ganization, Professor Macmillan was
called up and responded most feeling.
ly to the various digs and eulogies
during the evening. The remembrances
were then presented, to which the re-
eipient made another heartfelt re-
sponse. "A

ELEVEN PEOPLE DEAD
RUNAWAY CAR sTREWs TRACK
WITH VICTIMS FOR A DIS
TANcE OF THREE MILES.

Altoona, Pa, July "A runaway
mine car, flying like the wind down a
mine branch track that runs from
Puritan to Portage, just before mid.
night, reaped frightful harvest OF
eleven men killed and several injured
The car had been left standing at
Puritan when the mines closed and
some malicious person loosened the
brakes and permitted the car to speed
down the sharp incline.
The disaster happened ON what Ia
known as Martins branch, a stretch
of track four miles long that acts as
feeder for several mines that are
located between Portage and Puritan
The car was stopped one mile west
Of Portage but In the short space of
three miles eleven men were instantly
killed
The unfortunate dead had been to
Portage laying in supplies for the
Fourth. Beside the bodies were
found foodstuffs. fireworks and kegs
Of beer. The branch track Is the only
avenue by which Puritan can be
reached and is regarded as perfectly
safe at night, because no cars are run
over it after the mines cease opera

worst case ! know of occurred sllne
years ago. A certain senator asked
the comptroller of the currency to tel
him how much stock q certain man
had in national bank He was in
formed that such information WAS re-
garded as confidential and could not Ike
given out"
"We'll see about that" said tie SEN
ator. who was plainly disappointed and
displeased.
Several days later he secured the
passage Of resolution calling upon
the secretary OF the treasury TO furnish
the senate with the names and holdings
OF the stockholders In all the national
banks In the country. He really want
ed to know only the interest Of one
man In a bank, but he knew that he
couldn't get q resolution OF that kind
through the senate. so he included the
stockholders In all national banks. II
took the entire force of the comptrol-
ler's Office several weeks to prepare the
information, and when II reached the
senate nobody paid any attention to II
except the author Of the resolution. and
he merely looked at the mass of papers
only long enough to see about the man
he was after and then tossed the pa
pers aside. II was an immense lot OF
work for nothing. Washington Star.
