BOYS LOST THEIR NERVE
WANTED TO GO TO BUSINESS
COLLEGE.
One of Their Number Backed Out al
Last Moment Then All Ran

About twelve boys, Juniors at the
high school who were suspended last
Friday for wearing class colors in the
school building, decided yesterday to
bid the high school fond adieu and
to enroll themselves as students in
the Richmond Business College.
With this determination they
marched in body to the Business
College but when they arrived at the
entrance one lad, evidently loosing
his nerve, bolted. The others hesi-
tated q minute and then, like flock
OF sheep followed their "leader."

RULES ARE TO Be STRICT
COLLEGE PROFESSORS MAKE
NEW RULINGS.
Prof. Sackett Says That When New
Laws Are Announced They
Will be q Surprise.

If the recommendations of the spe-
cial committee of representatives of
Indiana Colleges, appointed to draft
plans for the securing of a higher
standard of college athletics are act
ed upon favorably by all the insti-
tutions interested in the matter, the
rules governing the playing of foot
ball will be even stricter than the
rules recently adopted by the "Big
Nine' universities.
Prof. r. L. Sackett of Earlham
attended this meeting and he states
that the recommendations drafted
are not yet ready to be made public,
but when they are, big surprise
will be furnished to the lovers of the
game.
He states that where the line will
be drawn most closely will be the eli
@bility of players, one of the great
est evils of the game as it is now
played. The committee will rec
ommend that the faculties of the col
leges be made responsible for the
men who play on the elevens. 1t is
thought that this method will put a
stop to the practice of some Indiana
colleges of playing ringers" and
professionals. Another radical de-
parture that the committee recon-
mends is the placing of limit for
the number Of games each college
shall play IN q seasoe. ,

THE GROUND HOG
HAS MADE GOOD
WITH HIS TIME NEARLY UP
THERE COMES SNOW
AND SLEET.
WIND AND COLD IS PROMISED
-
Street Car Service in City Was In
terfered With Little Trou-
BILE Outside.
WIND AND COLD IS PROMISED

The ground hog was not so far off
after all, and although he has been
represented, during the past few
days as rank prevaricator, never to
be trusted, he has commenced to
make up his lost reputation with a
vengeance, and snow and sleet now
whirl around his closed door.
Yesterday morning, the sky was
heavy and predictions were all for
the snow which commenced to fall
shortly after five o'clock in the even
ing. The weather of Sunday was too
good to last long and it was soon to
be changed. Although the tempera-
ture did not take big drop, it was
lowering close around the twenty
five mark, at midnight last night, and
the wet snow and cold wind did not
help one to imagine it was spring
weather.
The snow,, which was. very heavy
and easily packed, wreaked havoc
with the street car service and the
schedule was "off'' all evening. In
terurban service did not suffer so
much, as the tracks outside the city
are raised above the ground, and the
snow does not have chance to pack
around the f1anges of. the wheels.
The weather man promises a little
cold along with the snow and for to-
day, cloudy sky and light winds.
Over two weeks vet remain of the
ground hogs six weeks sleep and
by the appearance of the weather he
means to have it finished once for
all.

DEMOCRATIC SPIRIT
PREVAILS IN TOUR
OF NORWiY'S KING
Monarch Given Enthusiastic
Welcome by the
People.

CHRISTIANIA, June 1S.-King Haa-
kon and Queen Maud jOurneyed today
from Aolde to Christiansand, and were
received everywhere with enthusiasm.
Their greeting at Christiansand was
particularly warm. The municipality
of that city extended a formal well
come to the sovereigns. presenting the
King with an address and inviting him
20 be the city's guest at a banquet at
which the health Of the new monarch
was enthusiastically pledged. Crowds
thronged the streets and cheered the
King and Queen wherever they ap-
peared.
During the Kings speech at Molde
yesterday, in acknowledging the well
come extended to him, he said: 7 thank
you in behalf Of myself and wife" The
fact that the King used the word
wife" instead of Queen" has attract
ed considerable attention.
The King is greatly pleased with the
democratic spirit of Norway. His tour
has been marked by informality, result
ing in q marked increase in the popu-
larlty of the sovereign.
The Norwegian delegates from Amer
lea TO King Haakon's coronation ar
rived here today. A large crowd gath
cred at the quay. where numerous
American flags were displayed, and
welcomed the visitors warmly.

DE ETERMINED FIGHT
To SAVE MURDEREss
FROM THE GALLOWS
Efforts Being Made in Behalf Of
Mrs. Agnes Myers Of
Missouri.

KANSAS CITY, June 1S.-The move-
ment to save Mrs. Agnes Myers from
the gallows is growing IN force. She
has been sentenced to be hanged at Lib
erty, Mo-, near here, on June 30, for the
murder of her husband, Clarence Myers,
on the same date that Frank Hoffman,
her companion in the crime, is to be
hanged in Kansas City.
Applications for new trials probably
will be passed upon tomorrow by the
State Supreme Court, which previously
affirmed the decision of the lower court.
If new trials be denied, it is expected
that the usual thirty days stay of exc
cution will be granted, when renewed
efforts will be made TO save the woman
No effort is being made to prevent the
hanging of Hoffman.
Many letters are being sent to Cover
nor Folk urging him to commute Mrs.
Myers sentence to life imprisonment
A brother of Clarence Myers, however,
has sent the Governor letter express
ing the belief that his sister-in-law is
as guilty as Hoffman, and if Hoffman
is hanged the woman also should pay
the extreme penalty.

.TILLMAN URGES
4 BANK INQUIRY
Believes National Repos-
itories Have Been
Violating Law.
Says That They Have
Been Furnishing the
Campaign Coin.

WASHINGTON, June Is. - Senator
Tillman today again called up his reso-
luton providing for an investigation
of the question of national bank con-
tributions TO political campaigns and
also relative to the recent failure Of
the Chicago National Bank.
Speaking to the resolution. Tfllman
said that Senator Aldrich had waived
aside the resolution on the ground that
the Senate had recently passed bill
prohibiting the banks from making
campaign contributions. but Tillman
cOntended that such action on the part
of the Senate was not sufficient Be-
heving that the banks were the prin-
cipal source of revenue OF the Repub-
lican political committees. he did not
believe that the House would pass the
bill prior TO the election OF next fall
Hence he still felt the necessity for the
investigation provided for by his reso-
luton. He insisted that the resolution
would be retroactive. but confessed that
he had little hope In that direction.
THE banks will get an immunity
bath for past offenses." he predicted.
Speaking of the Chicago bank failure.
Ti1lman charged that the Comptroller
of the Currency had known for months
before the failure that the bank had In
effect loaned s15,0o0,0O0 TO it's president
in violation of law.
Senator Hopkins replied that Till
man had been misled by irresponsible
Chicago men and declared that the
South Carolina Senator's TRADE had
proved another illustration OF the fact
that "a little learning is a dangerous
thing"
He charged the South Carolinian with
a desire to injure the Chicago banks
and to exploit himself. No action was
taken by the Senate

San Francisco Relief
Committees Propo-
sails Rejected.
Only Hope of Assistance
Now Rests With Sec
retary Shaw.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING, /,
Francisco relief committee conferred
today with the finance committee of
the Senate regarding the proposed de-
posit of $10,O00,000 of Government
funds in the national banks of that
city. No conclusion was reached. The
finance committee will tomorrow hear
Secretary Shaw's views on the question
and an effort will be made to formu-
late some plan by which the Secretary
of the Treasury, without legislation by
Congress, may grant in some form the
desired relief.
1t was made apparent today that not
one of the propositions for Congress
sional assistance which have been ad-
vanced meets with favor among Sena-
tors generally. Members of the
finance committee, both Republicans
and Democrats, hope that a satisfac-
tory arrangement can be made with
the Treasury Department for the de-
posit of Federal funds, but they are
plainly opposed to any plan which con-
templates an authorization of the ac-
ton of Congress. Secretary Shaw is
anxious to grant every assistance in
his power, but he is understood to be
LO TAKE any extraordinary
step without either the authorization
of Congress or the tacit approval of
it's leading member. The finance COM
mittee will talk over the problem with
Shaw and see whether anything can
be done.
At the hearing today Judge w. w.
Morrow, w. j. Bartnett and Senators
Perkins and Flint presented argu-
ment in favor of the proposition for a
ten-year deposit of Government funds.
going over practically the same
ground as covered in. the hearings be-
fore the House committee on appropri-
ations last week. Other members of
the relief committee and several of the
California delegation were present
While there is no hope of Congress
sional aid, the relief committee is en-
couraged. in the belief that the pur-
pose which it seeks to accomplish may
be secured through action of the Treas
ury Department. Just what this ac-
ton will be, if any, is yet to be de-
termined.
