year in West Virginia, where no one
passed the examinations, or OF New
Mexico, Wyoming and Arizona, where
no appointment could be made.
Smaller Colleges Win.
The examinations and the selection
of men have served to show, in many
Instances, the superior work Of the
smaller colleges in contrast with that
done by the larger universities, which
loom so prominently in the education-
al world. An article in the January
q9O7) number Of the Bay View Maya
zine makes especial mention Of the
fact that in Michigan the examination
and the selection showed the supeior-
lty of the two smaller colleges, which
won out, once each, against their big
sister university. That university,
however, redeems herself this year,
having the scholar from that state.
Harvard sends men from Canada, Mas
sachusetts and Pennsylvania; Prince
ton from New Jersey; Yale from Tex
as; University of California from Col
Ifornia. These are the only 1907
scholars that come from the larger
universities. In former years the
smaller good colleges have stood up
prominently in the sending Of Rhodes
scholars. Nor will these men be al
together lost when they go into resi-
dence at Oxford, for there they are
apportioned among small colleges.
The kaiser's Interest.
The British colonies and provinces
send GO scholars, Germany Is, SO that
the Rhodtan project is worldwide,
while all its features stamp It as the
scheme of no small mind. German
scolars are appointed at large by the
Emperor. This was a return for an
order issued by the Emperor making
instruction in English compulsory in
German schools.

ENGLISH LABOR
SITUATION CRITICAL
FORTY THOUSAND MEMBERS OF
THE RoILERMAKERs' SOCIETY
TO BE LOCKED OUT.

LONDON, Sept. 2O.-Between 40,-
600 and $4,000 members of the Boiler
makers soiety will be locked out
October 5. Notices to that effect are
being posted. by the shtpbutlders' Fed
Grafton. The men affected are employ,
ed chiefly at the east coast ports, at
Barrow and on the Clyde.
Some time ago lockout notices were
issued because Of number of sec
tIonal strikes in which the men left
work without giving notice and with
out discussion Of their grievances.
These notices, however, were with
drawn and what is known as the ed
inburgh agreement" was entered into.
Under this the representatives Of the
men stipulated that such annoying
strikes would be avoided in the ftI-
ture. The society repudiated the &C.
ton of its representatives, and the
federation is now determined 10 fight
the men to finish.
The chief grievance of the en-
ployers is that the executive commit
Tee of the Bollermakers' Society has
no real power and cannot force the
men to observe any agreement which
may be adopted
With the prospective strike Of the
members of the Amalgamated Society
Of Railway Servants, which, unless
prevented, will be one of the most
serious ever known in the United
Kingdom, the labor situation in this
country is becoming most critical. The
leaders of the railway men, however,
are making every effort to conciliate
the companies, and 1t is hoped that ar
bltration or some other plan will be
found to solve the grave problem.
A comparison of the cases of the
bollermakers and the railway men
shows remarkable circumstance. The
chief grievance at present Of the rail-
way men is that the companies refuse
to recognize their executive, while, on
the other hand, the shipbuilders have
recognized the leaders Of the Boiler
makers Society and come to an agree
ment with them, but the men them
selves refuse to be bound BY this I'M
derstanding.

of pistol shots in the direction of the
McAtee hanty where Sylvester has
been spending the most of his time.

The result was that a swarm Of Nc.
Atees beseiged the various magis-
trates' offices in search of warrants
for their assailant. A warrant was
given by the mayor and placed in the
hands of a couple Of members Of the
police force who went to the river
bend in search Of the desperate.
Earl saw the mlnions Of the law
approaching his domiclle, and prompt.
ly fled to the rivers edge. The blue
coats still pursued and no alternative
presenting itself nrl plunged into the
murky waters Of the West Fork and
waled to the other side where he was
beyond the Jurisdiction Of the city au.
thorties. The baffled cops returned
to the city empty handed.
Yesterday Nancy McAtee appeared
before Justice Gordon and swore out
another warrant for Earl. The paper
was placed in the hands of Constable
SCHNEIDER who went In search Of the
feudist.
Constable schrader was Joined on
the way by Constable G. A. Waldo and
they approached the Dougherty domi-
cile so quietly that their presence was
not noticed until they were within a
few yards of where Earl lay concealed
in the grass.
He made no immediate attempt toI
run away but thought TO lie stu In
the weeds until the officers had pass
ed on. The constable proved to be,
good hunters and soon detected him.
Both schrader and Waldo pounced
upon him at once an after a short
struggle he walked docllely to the Jail,
where he now awaits a hearing.
