taking the work now go two and three
miles across the city to do so.
DR.. G. NJ Jordan gave a sketch OF
some Of the boys who "could not and
would not study that had been under
his care years ago at the Adams. In
most of these cases the manual train
ing shop. had shown these boys what
they could do.
A general talk on the aims and sat
isfactory results of the lecture course

of the school. He said that one manua

ETHEL KIRBY STARTS
" G. A. R. FUND MOVING

Little Ethel Kirby and her clay pig
bank that contributed $1.28 to the G. A.
R. fund have called the attention of
many to the fact that there is fund
to be raised and that it is up to every
body to help make it generous and
typical Minneapolis fund. Subscrip-
lions have been coming in every day,
and since the story Of Ethel was told in
The. Journal a few days ago much
mention has been made of the little
lady.
Regards to Ethel Kirby and her
pig" was the postscript Of one letter
received this morning. Another said:
81 had almost forgotten this card until
I heard Of the little girl and the clay
pig stuffed full of chickenfeed. -, An.
other said: "Blame Ethel K. and the
yellow pig
The finance committee is still ham
mering away with promptness as its
slogan. Everybody is requested to re-
turn the pledges at once. No actual
contribution will be called for until
May l or later, but it is absolutely es
sential that the committee on arrange
ments should know what amount it will
have to work with.

NEW MOVE IN GAS
FIGHT IMPENDS
JANUARY-FEBRUARY BUDGET TO
BE PRESENTED NEXT WEEK.
Expected that Council Majority Will
Approve Patterson Claim, but Alder
man Hertig Probably Will Oppose
Allowing Bill-Attitude of Controller
Brown and Mayor Jones Important.

AS result Of the controversy over
the Patterson incandescent lighting
contract and the precipitation Of legal
proceedings the city has not paid any
thing for street lighting for three
months. For this reason the lighting
budget which will be considered at the
meeting Of the council committee on
gas next Monday afternoon will be the
largest ever presented; Only the Jan.
and those, with deductions, are as fol-
lows: Minneapolis General Electric
company, $16,359.41; Minneapolis Gas
Light company (for gas only, $l2,-
285.76; Patterson Street Lighting com
pany (incandescent lighting), $lO,-
766.02. The total is about $4,000.
OF more interest than the size of the
bills, however, is the probable action
Of the city officials on the Patterson
two reports, a majority report allow
ing, the claim and a minority report by
Alderman Wendell Hertig recommend
ing that the claim not be allowed AS
Mr.. Hertig has steadfastly maintained
that the rate Of 1925 per lamp a
year. is too much for the incandesc ent
service. he is expected to make another
fight. That the majority will approve
the claim and order the warrant drawn
is practically certain. !
Dan G. Brown. the city controller, in:
timated pretty strongly that he was not
for street lighting in the absence of a
properly executed contract. Whether
or not he has changed his mind will ap,
pear later.
Then there is the mayor to contend
with. His signature is necessary to
make the warrant negotiable, and he
may withhold his signature. If so it
will be for the same reason which
prompts Mr., Hertig to bring in mi
nority report. f.~'
Then what? Another chapter of liti
cation in all likelihood will be started

Absolute control of the Minnesota
Daily, the official undergraduate publ
cation at the university. has been as
sumed by the university faculty and re-
lations between the undergraduate body
and the faculty, already somewhat
strained as result Of the action plac-
ing control of university athletics in
faculty hands, are nearing the rupture
point. ...s-E
Threats of determined resistance to
the gradual encroachment OF the faculty
council on what the undergraduates re-
gard as strictly student territory are
freely circulating on the campus and In
teresting developments may be expected
next week.
The method chosen by the university
council to extend faculty authority over
the Minnesota Daily was denounced on
all sides by students today. At the
last meeting of the faculty council DR..
William A. Scaper and DR.. Erdman
| were elected faculty representatives on
the governing board Of the Daily IN ac-
Gently at a meeting Of the student sub
/ scribers calling for nine student mem
| Der and two faculty members on the
! board. This action was taken. by the
subscribers only after a heated argu-
ment and the plea Of a faculty member
present, that the students should CO.
operate with the faculty in the interests
! of harmony. had considerable influence
on the students present.
Given Veto Powers.
The faculty council, however, at it's
| last meeting did not stop with choosing
the two representatives, but it con
ferred upon them veto powers on any
action Of the, board Of which they are
members. This fact did not become
known at the university until today.
Students argue that it was only thru
desire for harmony that they consent
ed to the choice of two faculty members
on the governing board, and they. con
slider the action of the council al
unfair and interfering with the legiti
mate student transactions. If two fac
ulty members are to be allowed to vet(
any action of a board of eleven mem
bers tn situation will be the same as ;
faculty majority. -
What action the subscribers will taxi
has not been determined, but in ;
lengthy editorial in today's edition O.
the Daily the attitude of the faculty
both in regard to athletics and the con
troll of the student publication, is dis
cussed and the fairness of faculty meth
DDS are openly questioned. - ~: "
The article concludes with the follow
ing rather startling statement "Protest
but not resistance; but resistance if pro

Governor johnson got an illustration
maker Soon after his arrival for work,
a deputy sheriff served him with gar
nishment papers for $3.50, and he had
to call in an attorney to help him out of
a tangle into which he was involved by
his willingness to oblige. -.
Last evening the governor attended
the Marconi wireless exhibition in St..
Paul with friend. The show was tied
up by a deputy sheriff with an attach
ment for the machines used in the ex-
hibit. It was levied to satisfy a claim
for $3.50 against H. G. Robinson, man
ager Of the exhibit, presented by VIM.
F. Peet, surviving partner Of b. +. Peet
& Son, insurance agents, who had Sc
cured Robinson's note years ago for a
policy. Robinson claims the note was
a "dummy' and at any rate it is no
claim against the Marconi company.
However the deputy sheriff had the writ
and insisted on taking the machines.
The governor was called into consulta-
ton and suggested that Robinson put
up the money wi tn someone as guar
on hand today. This was satisfactory,
| and the governor was selected to be
lit: He took the money. expecting
| to be relieved of responsibility this
morning. Instead, he was served with
the garnishment papers.
The Marconi show wants to get away
and J. j. Kelley, the engineer, who put
up the money, wants his $3.50. The
governor is held for. it, however. II
was finally decided to g i've him bono
for the amount, to insure him against
loss, and he will then return the $3.50 tc
Mr.. Kelley. He is summoned to de-
fend the punishment proceeding April
| 20, but before that time it is expected
to have dismissal, as the claim against
Robinson will not hold against the Mar
conf company, and the money the gov
ernor has is not Robinson s. but Kel
ley's.
Meanwhile, Governor johnson is pom
dering on the sad fate Of the innocent
! bystander.
