SECESSION
 OF STANFORD STUDENTS
A Plan to Bring the Row to the Attention
 of the Trustees
It Involves the Signature of 25O Men to Agreement to Discipline the Faculty by Abandoning Their College Careers

Stanford University, March 26.-At a meeting of the student body held this afternoon, a plan was proposed which if carried out will result in 250 stu dents leaving the university as a pro- test against the action of the faculty in the suspension and punishment of the paraders. This plan. proposed by Baseball Captain Kenneth Fenton of Portland, is of the nature of an agree ment which, if signed by 25O or more students Obliges the signers to apply for honorable dismissal cards to leave college in order to demonstrate that the question at issue between the stu dents and the faculty committee is one principle for which the students are ready to sacrifice their college career. An additional motive of the proposed action is to call to the attention of the university trustees the fact that the situation here is of sufficient i'm pOrtance to demand immediate action. The number of signatures to the agree ment has not yet reached the required number but names are being rapidly added and il seems probable that be- fore Saturday, which is set as the day loI lIt agreement lO SO lllp tlltNlf 250 will have signed. In case the re- quired number is not secured it is probable that only a few of the more radical will leave.
 The meeting today was the most stormy in the history of the student body and lasted three hours. When the meeting was called Student Body President Murphy declared that he wished the fullest discussion. He hoped that no action would be taken until the situation had been thoroughly analysed. He was followed by Base ball Captain Fenton the acknowledged leader of the radicals. who was greeted with cheers.
 Fenton's address was couched in the most vigorous terms. He called upon the students to display their inde- pendence against the faculty injustice. He insisted that there was no honor able course open except withdrawal from the university. In conclusion he offered a resolution which he stated had been prepared by number of prominent men last night. He'pleaded for two hundred and fifty signers and many of those present presented them selves at once.

CANNON AND REVISION
 ENDORSED IN ILLINOIS
The Tariff Plank Followed a Confer
 ence With the Speaker.

Springfield, Ills, March 26.-The re- publicans of Illinois today endorsed Joseph c. Cannon as candidate for the presidency. declared for a revision of the tariff and elected four delegates at large to the national convention. The men chosen are Senators CulIom and Hopkins. Governor Deneen and Mayor Busse of Chicago. The cOnven- tion endorsed the administration of Deneen and all other state officers.
 For the last two days it was confi- dently asserted that the resolutions would favor tariff adjustment" in- stead of revision" it being the idea that revision is generally accepted as meaning a reduction, while adjustment might mean the raising of some sched- ule as well as the lowering of others. Tn the last moment however. Con- gressman Boutell arrived from Wash ington, where he had consulted with Cannon and other republican leaders and the plank adopted today was the result
 Cannon men had things entirely their own way. There was not whisper of opposition through the day The applause that greeted the reading of the plank endorsing the candidacy of the speaker was great and enthusi- astic. Just before the reading of the platform the convention took q sudden adjournment because of a fire in the Leland hotel Many of the delegates never returned to the hall The con- ventiOn finally reconvened and the program was carried out

the suspended men. was the next speaker. His remarks were almost as radical as those of Fenton. He de- clared that if heavy proportion of the men left the university the situ- ation would be put ID to the trus- tees in an unmistakable manner that could not be ignored. All the speak CTS were frequently interrupted by a noisy demonstration of approval. Many others counselled moderate action, ar guing that leaving the university would accomplish no good The men would only sacrifice themselves with out bringing any good to Stanford.
 At a short meeting of the executive committee held immediately after this mass meeting, it was decided to hold both the varsity and freshmen inter collegiate track meets with the Uni versitv of California regardless of the outcome of today's action. The sign CTS of the agreement include many prominent athletes. The plan will seriously cripple the team if it goes through. The baseball team many re- organize though Captain Fenton de- clares he will not remain at the uni versity. The rowing crew has already disbanded Tomorrow the varsity track team will meet the Pomona ath- letes. Tke Pomona team arrived to- day.

SIGNS 0t REACTION
 IN THE SHOCK MARKET
Preliminary to It There Was an Irreg-
 ular Movement of Prices.

New York. March 26-Irregularity was again the most characteristic fea- turc of the stock market today The undertone was heavy and not without several manifestations of strength but in the main was hesitating. There was a steady selling Of the most ac- tive issues. notably Steel and Union Pacific Board room gossip credited the more influential speculative ele- ment with favoring reaction. Later advices dealing with the steel and iron trade were not especially encour- aginS. Reductions or dividends on Pa cific Coast common and second pre- ferred resulted in substantial declines on those issues. Union Pacific fluc- tuated feverishly and broke from 12S1s to 125A when it came to be known that the new financing plan contemplated an issue of perhaps s5O.- GOO, 900 in bonds. Southern Pacific. which developed unusual activity and strength early in the session, lost some gains. and the list as d whole registered declines. There were par tial recoveries, however. but the final hour of the market showed a dimin- ishing force of the renewed attacks by the short interests. The close was steady. Bands were irregular.

NEW YORK ASSEMBLY AGAINST TURF GAMBLING

Albany, March 26.-The assembly this afternoon passed by a decisive majority the bills designed to abolish legal protection for gambling at the race tracks of this state in accordance with the recommendation of Governor Hughes in his second message to the legislature. The senate bills on the question are yet to be voted on. The situation in the senate is still regard ed as extremely critical with indica- tions favoring the defeat of the bill There is a strong undercurrent of per sistent rumOr that all but two of the nineteen democrats will vote against the bill and additional seven republi- can votes necessary to it's defeat are safely pledged.
 On the other hand, Senator Agnew and other friends of the legislation profess to have the pledges of more than the twenty-siN votes necessary to pass the bill Neither side will give out a list of the senators upon whom they are confidently counting

A BIGGER MORTGAGE
 ON UNION PACIFIC
All it's Present Unincumbered Lines
 Will Be Made the Security.

New York. March 26.-The stock holders of the Union Pacific railroad will meet on May 5 to authorize an issue of bonds to be secured by a mortgage on all the lines of the Union These lines aggregate 1850 miles, ac- cording to official announcement. The amount and purpose of the proposed bond issue was not made public.
 It is currently reported to be forty million dollars. This it is said will be sufficient to cover the company's fi- nancial needs for some time and it is expected that only a portion of the issue will be made in the near future To facilitate the issue the stockholders will be asked to ratify the taking over by the Union Pacific of the physical property of the LeavenwOrth. Kansas and Western Railroad company and the Topeka and Northwestern Rail- road which already through the owner ship of stock is a part of the Union Pacific system. These roads have about 200 miles of track. They are unmortgaged and it is proposed to in- clude them with the other unmort gagged lines by which the new issue of bonds will be secured.
 In order to do so it is necessary under the laws of Kansas by which the companies are incorporated that the transaction should be ratified by the stockholders.
 The directors declined to grant the requeA made by certain stockholders of the Union Pacific that the board of directors bring suit against Harri man, Rogers and Stillman to recover profits alleged to be derived from the sale of stock of the Illinois Central Railroad Securities company and the St. Joseph and Grand Island railroad to the Union Pacific. In giving their reasons for refusal the directors stated that the interest by the three men in the stock of the Illinois Central and of Hartman in the stock of other com panies was fully disclosed to the di rectors before the transaction.
