WHO Threw THAT LEG?
Medical Glass Faces Suspension Be-
cause Nobody Will Tell.

Chicago, March 10.-Twenty- eight
medical students of the University of
Chicago are facing suspension because
one of their number threw piece of
human leg from the dissecting room
at a divinity professor. The professor
complained to President Harry Pratt
Judson, who asked for an explanation.
DR.. J. Gordon Wilson and DR.. Basil
Harvey, who are in charge of a sec
ton in anatomy, questioned the entire
class of % students yesterday, but they
were unable to wiring q confession from
any one. The professors then inform
ed them they were all liable to suspen-
sion.
The class examinations begin today,
and the % students will not be allowed
to take them. No credit will be given
them for the three months course in
anatomy.
The guilty student is declared to have
been willing to confess and take the
consequences, but the other members of
the class refused to let him do so.

SALE OF MAST PICTURES.
Final Disposal of the Artists Own
Works and Those of Others.

New York. March 10.-Oil paintings
and drawings by Thomas Mast, in ad-
dition to specimens of the work of
other artists that were collected by
Mast before his death, are the features
of a sale which will open this evening.
The sale will be continued toomrrow
night also. 1t is the final dispersal
sale of Nast's pictures and includes
water colors and pen and ink and
wash drawings and cartoons, as well
as the canvases in oil.
The paintings include a canvas by
Thomas Moran which has a peculiar
history. 1t was bought by Mr.. Mast in
1859 as the work of J. M. W. Turner,
from a reputable dealer who had pur-
chased it in London as Turner.
There was at this time no signature
on the painting and for nearly forty
years it was accepted without question
as a. genuine Turner.
In preparing the collection for sale,
however, 1t seemed desirable that 1t
should have further Authorization
and Thomas Moran, regarded as the
greatest authority on Turner, consent
ed to examine it. He recognized the
picture as his own work, one he had
painted IN 1858.

there is no telling where they would
have landed. They were out of sight of
land and many miles out the bay.
They encountered numerous ice Jams
and snowdrifts 20 feet high. Frequent
ly they bridged schasms with frail
planks, and often these cracks and
drifts compelled wide detours.
THE real excitement. however, said
Doan, came after we left Bay City,
up the river. The honeycombed ice
cracked all the way. There was open
water on both sides of us much the
way, and We were powerless to reach
shore"

Russell, after alighting from the balloon.
our trip was delightful in every re-
spect," said Capt Chandler last night.
Our object was TO experiment with the
telephoto camera. The new camera differs
from ones in use, in that 1t does not re-
quire any great exposure to take pictures
at high altitude or from long distance.
1T was a perfect day for picture TAX
ing. When We first ascended we arose to
an altitude of 1900 feet. This height we
maintained practically all the time, and
were carried along by a fair wind at the
rate OF ten miles an hour.
About o'clock, when il began TO grow
dark, and We were no longer able 10 take
pictures, We alighted. We landed at
CrOome. Md. nine miles southeast of
Marlboro. We passed the night at MARI
boro, and this morning shipped the
balloon TO this city"
Capt Chandler said the pictures would
be developed shortly. and the efficiency
OF the new camera determined.

Huron. S Oak. April THE Repuh-

ton here to-day, elected eight delegates

is in accordance with the wishes of Sen
ator Kituedge. the first public man in
South Dakota 20 announce himself def
nitely for Taft. although the faction of
the party Of which he is leader failed by
a narrow margin to select the delegates.
The result is substantially a repetition
of what occurred here in 1896, when Mr..
Kittredge. then national committeeman,
led in the contest against Senator Petit
grew for a delegation instructed for Will
lam Mckinley. Petugrew succeeded in
being elected delegate. but he went 10

sanguine of success at that time
