STUDENTS IN RIOT
WRECK A THEATER AND DEFY
POLICE AND FIREMEN AT
ANN ARHoR, MICH.
NUMBERED FULLY 1000
When Flrenen Attempted to Turn
Water on Them They Cap
tured the Hose and Pa
raded the Streets.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Mar. 17.-College
feeling among the students of the Uni
versity of Michigan burst forth into q
riot Monday night. More than dozen
students were locked up in Jail and
the Star theater, tive-cent place Of
amusement, was literally wrecked
Late In the evening the mob Of stu
dents, which numbered fully two thou
sand, directed Q college rush" against
the front Of the building, tearing away
windows and doors and plaster and
rolling the theater piano out into the
street, where leaders Of the students
mounted the instrument and performed
q dance to the accompaniment Of mad
cheers and yells from the unmanage-
able crowd. The trouble dates back to
Saturday night, when a student In the
audience who persisted in repeating
the Ann Arbor college yell too often
to suit the management, was elected
and thoroughly dubbed by q special
policeman in the employ Of the theater.
Monday nights trouble started with
q small crowd Of students throwing
eggs at the building. This diversion
soon gave way to a fusilade Of rocks
and when the police were called to
quell the disorder the yells Of derision
sent up by the young men brought re-
Inducements from every direction. As
the attacking party grew wilder, its
aim broadened proportionately, and
windows Of the upper stories Of the
building and those Of neighboring bus
mess places began to crash. Finding
the police unable to subdue the riot
tiers, Mayor Henderson summoned the
fire department. Several police Of
ficers had been felled with flying mis-
siles and others fought on, hatless af-
ter their helmets had been stolen to
decorate some students den. The ire-
men had no sooner laid their line Of
hose to the scene to give the mob a
drenching than with a wild yell de-
tachment of the boys captured 100
feet Of the hose and ran yelling down
the street with It.
Mayor Henderson tried to secure aid
from the National Guard but found
that the local company's rules forbade
It to respond. President Angel Of the
university, Dean Hutchins Of the law
department and Mayor Henderson
vainly pleaded all evening for the stu
dents to dispense, but equally without
results, as the disorders increased
steadily until the work Of devastation
was complete.

THE FINES STAND
SUPREME COURT DECIDES KAN.
SAs CITY PACKERS MUST PAY
FOR ACCEPTING REBATES.
ASSESSED $4,000 EACH


Washington, Mar. 1.-THE proceed,
ing by the government against the Ar
mour Packing company, Swift 4, Co.,
Morris & Co. and the Cudahy Pack
ing company, all Of them operating In
Kansas City, Kan, under which the
companies were each fined $4,000 by
the United States circuit court for the
western district Of Missouri, on the
charge Of receiving rebates contrary
to the provisions Of the Elkins act,
was decided by the supreme court Of
the United States Monday adversely
to those companies. The courts oDin-
ion was announced by Justice Day,
who held that the Elkins act is ap'
plicable TO transportation anywhere
and that an offense is not confined to
the initial point. He also held 1t ap-
plicable alike to shipper and carrier.
The decision of the lower courts in
the complementary case against the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railway
company holding that company re-
sponsible for granting the rebates to
the packers and fining that company
for the ofiense, also was affirmed.
Justice Brewer dissented from the
view Of the court on the ground that
the decision would work violation Of
contract, which," he sail, Shocks his
sense of Justice"
The chief justice and Justice Peck
ham concurred in Justice Brewers
decision. They also held the Missouri
court to be without Jurisdiction.
The validity Of the Elkins law was
attacked and 1t also was contended
that no real offense had been COM
mitted; but the principal defense was
the contention that in view of the
fact that the shipments had originated
in Kansas, the Missouri court was
without Jurisdiction. The court Of ap-
peals also was called upon to pass
upon this point, and 1t held that the
receiving Of a rebate is "a continuous
crime judiclable in any court of the
United States having jurisdiction Of
crimes through whose district the
transportation is conducted"
As the goods were carried through
Missouri, the circuit court and the
court of appeals concluded that the
circuit court was competent to try the
cases, and the supreme court upheld
this view. NJ
Justice Day said he was aware that
such construction might interfere with
contracts, but that 1t was for congress
to deal with that question.

"My brother had eczema three df-

each summer IL came out between his
shoulders and down his back, and he said
his suffering was terrible. He used diff
ferent kinds Of medicines that were said
to be good for that disease, but nothing
seemed to do him much good. When 1t
came on the third summer, he bought Q
box Of Cuticura Ointment and gave u
9 faithful trial. Soon be began to feel
better and he cured himself entirely
with Cuticura and has never been
bothered with eczema since. He also
used Cuticura to cure q bunch over his
eye and terrible corn which was 30 bad
that he could not wear his shoe. A
lady In Indiana heard Of how my daugh-
ter, Mrs. Miller, had cured her little son
Of terrible eczema by the Cuticura
Remedies. This lady's little one had

they would lose It. She used Cuticura

patch one Of his vessels to Haiti.
1t is not believed at the state depart
ment that foreign interests in Haiti
are seriously menaced. The dispose.
tion Of the administration Is to keep
hands of and to give the people Of
Haiti an opportunity to work out their
own salvation. It is realized that In
dealing with revolutionary movements
stern repressive measures often are
necessary and the impression here is
that It is not up to the American gov
eminent to interfere with the acts Of

such that our interests are In jeopardy
or that broad humanitarian measures
require us to interfere.
