PROFESSOR CONDUCTS CLASS
THOUGH ASKED TO RESIGN
Makes Statement of His Peculiar
Views of Neutrality-suspicious.
Opinions Similar to
Those of Plato
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, May 12.-Prof. H.
Heath BodWen, whose resignation as
professor of philosophy at the Univer-
sity of Cincinnati has been demanded
by President Dabney, because of his
private views on marriage and sociolo-
gy, conducted his classes as usual to-
day. President Dabney stated that in
his opinion it would do no harm for
Prof. Bowden to continue his classes
temporarily. He was disposed to give
him a fair hearing.
Prof. Bowden today gave out state
ment of his case.
II believe" said he, lin freedom of
association of the sexes and in mar
riage based on comradeship. The only
limit / would impose on sexual pro-
miscuity would be the aesthetic ideal of
comradeship on the moral side and the
necessary restrictions of stirpiculture
on the physical side"
He approves of marriages, but insists
that comradeship rather than love is
the essential. He "derogates the final
ity of marriage and social stigma which
attaches to divorce" and believes with
Plato that the state should subsidize
maternity.

and ran toward the steps leading to
the building, where the wagon was
wrecked and the horses brought to a
stand. Here the boys were injured.
The wagon. laden with ice cream freez-

boys hand Although Clifford Vim
was struck by the tongue of the
wagon, he was not so severely injured
as his companion. passing motor
car took the Webb boy home.
James Halliday, the driver, said one
of the lines broke, which caused him
to lose control of the horses. A pass
ing street car added to their fright.
When the animals turned toward the
school Halliday jumped and was not
injured. Edward Dolland, principal OF
the school, said: Il cannot understand
WHY more of the pupils were not in
iured. In fact, there were many mar
row escapes. After it was all over

Caller Thrown from House and Then
Arrested Is Unable to Under

in Jail

1t is presumed George Dotter and
Marshall Doves were paying court to
the same widow. At any rate, when
Doves called Monday night he found
Dotter there. Dotter looked out of the
window and remarked he thought 1t
was going to rain and that perhaps
Doves would better hurry home IL he
did not want to get wet. Doves re-
piled he had an umbrella out in the
hall.
The situation rapidly became
strained. Presently Doves found him
self out on the sidewalk through no
volition of his own, and yesterday
morning he found himself facing JUS
tice Chambers on charge of disturb
ing the peace preferred by Dotter
When the justice announced that he
would hold him for trial until June
and fixed his bail at $50, he turned to
Dotter and said:
II say, old chap, won't you go my
bail for me?'
Dotter said he would see what he
could do for him. They almost shook
hands, but not quite.

myself to public confidence.

me a full and unconditional pardon.

DEVOTED WHOLE LIFE TO A
DEAD HERO'S MEMORY
BY Associated Press.


CHICAGO, May 12.-Death came
quickly and peacefully to Mrs. Marian
Nugent Mulligan yesterday, after forty
four years of loyal devotion to the
memory of hero husband
Since the July day in 1864 when the
partner of her youth, Col. James A.
Mulligan of the Twenty-third Illinois
infantry, lay weltering in his blood on
the field of Winchester, in the Shenan-
doah valley, until May, 1908, pleasure
and joy had vanished from the life of
this faithful wife.
Lay me down and save the flag"
were her husbands last words and so
craven were they on her memory that
she taught them to her children and
grandchildren. They formed the basis
OF their education, and every pursuit in
life had it's starting point in the patri-
otto impulse of this admonition.
Mrs Mulligan was one of the most
respected and revered women in Chi
cago. Beautiful and cultured, she lived
from the time of her young widowhood,
which came at the age of %. until her
final summons yesterday, ever sacri-
ficing and working for her three daugh-
tiers.

hard work, has completed the final set
Element account of Los Angeles county

February an additional sum of 2,417,-
1911 had been collected, of which the
state received $3.50, 66073 and the county
