APPEAL To JOHN b. !
College Presidents Want Rule Govern
ing Donations Changed.

The programme of the fifth annual
conference of the colleges of the inter-
Tor which has been in session in To
pelSa since Tuesday morning was COM
pleted this morning by an address by
Professor w. N. Ferrin of Oregon, who
was placed on the programme in the
place of President Thomas McClelland
of Knox college. The subject from the
programme was Religious Life in the
Christian College," but the speaker
handled almost every other phase Of
college life more completely than that
of the religious side.
81 have chosen for my text The Days
of College Life are the Days of Oppor-
tunity," he announced, land want to
preach you little sermon from this
text and it won't be a sermon either,
for 1 am unable to tell you the verse
of the chapter or even the book from
which my text has been taken. 1t $
good one, nevertheless, and as you
grow older you will appreciate the
truth of it more and more every day.
"Of course you have your troubles
and I have no doubt but some of you
feel at times that some of your teach
ers are the hardest people on earth to
get along with and that they spend
considerable of their time in studying
up troubles to inf1ict on you as pupils.
If the young folks on the outside of
the colleges only knew the beauties of
college life the schools of the country
would not hold them and as 1t is they
| are crowded to almost overlooking.
Every year sees an increase III the
attendance at the colleges and the in
crease has been at such a rate that
the faculties of the different colleges
have been at their wits ends to de-
wise plans to keep up the procession.
Some of you do not appreciate the fact
that the golden moments of your
school days are flying and that they
will never return"
At a business meeting held in the
| library building at Washburn college
this morning, Milwaukee was selected
for the meeting to be held next year
and the Observation-Disclosures college
represented by Ella c. Sabine, the
| only woman president present at this
meeting will entertain the guests.
A resolution or memorial was intro
duced at the business meeting by Pres
ident w. N. Ferrin of Ogden today,
asking the General Educational board,
which has charge of dispensing the
100000 donated annually by John
d. Rockefeller, to change some of the
provisions which deprive many of the
| smaller colleges of the west of a
chance to participate in the benefits.
AS the provisions now stand a COL
lege, to get the benefit of a donation
frcm this fund, must agree to raise
three dollars for every enc donated and
be absolutely free from debt. This is
not such a grave matter with the larger
eastern colleges who have many
wealthy donors and an alumni Of
many more wealthy members.

SITE FOR NEW HOSPITAL
Home of Late Judge johnson Selected
by Catholic Sisters.

Active work was commenced today by
The committee appointed by the Com
mercial club to raise the sum of $9,5OO
for the purchase of a site to be dona-
ted to the Sisters of Charity who pro-
pose to erect hospital in Topeka If
the ground is furnished to them. The
committee consists of L. NJ. Penwen,
w A Neiswanger, c. G. Blakesley, H.
b. Howard and 1. NJ. Blitz.
The Catholic Sisters propose to erect
a charity hospital on the Captain ]. b.
Johnson property at the corner of Sixth
and Morris avenue, the first wing OF
which will not cost less than $4O.O0O
If the site is donated to them. The
Commercial club has taken a deep in
terest in the matter and will lend their
aid in securing the necessary dona-
lions.
That such a hospital is almost a ne
cessity, canrot be denied by any famil-

road and after the end of the car had
been sawed out and he was released he

He had no me ney and for that reason
he was not welcome at any of the hos

Three Reports from the Senate Com

Washington Post. December s. OIL
There is a bad mixup in the Senate
Committee on Military Affairs in its
attempt TO reach an agreement on
the character and scope Of the re-
port which II will make to the Senate
OF its investigation OF the affray at
Brownsville, Texas, in August, 1906,
which resulted in the dismissal OF
three companies OF Negro troops
Roosevelt. After long dis
journed until Thursday. IL is GER
mitted to the Senate until next
week.
The membership of the commit
tee is very much divided. Senators
Fulton, of Oregon and Hemenway of
Indiana, about whose attitude there
has been considerable uncertainty.
made 1t plain at yesterdays meeting
that they would join with the ma
jority TO sustain the contention of
President Roosevelt that the Negro
soldiers were responsible for shoot
ing up" Brownsville But some OF
the Republicans who will sign the
majority report want to qualify their
approval of the Presidents action
in dismissing the Negro troops by
recommending that all the discharg-
ed coldiers who can show that they
were not concerned in the raid and
did not try to conceaI the identity
OF the guilty persons, shall be re-
stored to the army.
The four Democrats who will join
in the majority report object to any
such qualification. They hold that
none OF the discharged soldiers
should be reinstated. and want to
make a recommendation that all col
ored men shall be excluded from en-
listment The five Republicans who
will join the Democrats in fixing the
responsibility for the raid on the
Negro troops will not go that far.
Senators Foraker, Scott, and
Bulkeley, the Republicans VINO will
submit a minority report, will hold
that the evidence does not warrant
fastening the guilt upon the dis
charged soldiers. and may recon-
mend that all the men discharged be
restored to the army Immediately.
IL seems to be pretty well establish
ed that three reports will be submit
ted by the committee.
