STUDENTS MIX
IN FREE-FOR-ALL
Exciting Clash of Augustana
Sophomores and Freshmen
Last Night.
ONE OF TIE BOYS STUNNED
Carried to Dormitory, But Soon Re-
vives-Others Rear Scratches
and Bruises.

Hostilities between the freshmen
and sophomore classes of Augustana
college reached a elimination last
night in a free for all battle between
about 20 members of the two classes,
both sides being equally divided. The
fight took place on the college grounds
behind the young mems dormitory and
lasted nearly a quarter Of an hour.
The battle was finally called off by
mutual consent. The freshmen, how
ever, claimed to have secured an adj
vantage over their rivals and pro,
claimed victory.
AS usual, the freshies were the mis-
chief makers. To mislead the sophs
and mentally agitate them, the under
classmen remained away from supper
last night in order to create the i'm
preston that a banquet was to be
held. The ruse proved successful and
the sophs quickly assembled after sup
per to thwart the supposed plans Of
the freshies. The latter kept under
cover in the room of Elmer Olsen, and
for some time the sophs were unable
to ascertain their whereabouts.
Chased Back to Rendezvous
Some of the freshies ventured out
to reconnoitre and were Immediately
spied by the sophs, who chased them
back to their rendezvous. The sophs
assembled behind the dormitory and
issued a def to the freshies to come
out Some of the holder sophs en-
tered the building and knocked on the
door of the room in which the freshies
were assembled. The freshies did not
appear for some time, evidently hold
ing a council of war and planning =
mode of attack.
Soon, however, they were seen to
file out Of the rear of the dormitory.
When the first freshie made his ap-
pearance in the hall doorway, ths
sophs let loose a war whoop. Imme-
diately the freshies rushed out from
behind their leader and the fight was
on. The object of the freshies' war
council soon became apparent, for
every soph had been singled out and
assigned to some freshmen, in most
cases to a stronger man.
other Students Aroused
The fight waged fast and furious.
Sophs and freshies rolled about indis-
criminately on the ground Blows
rained thick and fast. Scores of other
students, aroused by the tumult, tum-
bled out of the dormitory to witness

the fray, cheering on the combaIants
with yells and words OF advice. The
battle waged back and forth. Some
times the struggling classnen would
roll down the lower part Of Zion hill!
locked in each others embrace.
At the close of the melee one soph
was found to have been stunned by a
blow and had to be carried into a
room in the dormitory, where he soon
revived. Beyond numerous scratches
and bruises, no other students were
injured. No hard feeling was mani.
tested between the two classes after
the clash. but both stoutly maintained
to have gained victory.

Banks and Tillman, Wanted il
Halves murder Case, Paid
to Leave City.
they ARE PRESENTED s135
Toung Men Are Tracked to Kansa:
City by States Attorney-Held
Here Under Bond.

There were some interesting devel>
Dpments in the ]. w. Halves murder
case this morning when the informa-
ton was given out that Alva w. Banks
and Edward TillTnan, the chief wit
IDesses in the case. had been paid to
leave the city and remain away until
after the trial. They have been ar.
rested, however, and are now under
heavy bond to remain here until sum-
moned to appear IN the prosecution Of
the case States Attorney Magill says
he has a confession from the young
men that they were paid to go away.
I Just nine days after the murder,
which it will be remembered took
place Sept. 10, and after both the wit
nesses had testified before the grand
fury which was then in session, they
left the city very suddenly and for a
time nothing was heard of them.
States Attorney l.. NJ. Magill learned
of their departure soon after and he
engaged a Pinkerton detective from
Chicago and commenced a search for
his chief witnesses at once. The serv-
ices of Detective James Brinn Of the
local police force were also enlisted
and the search commenced in earnest.
The result was the two Punaways were
located in Linwood, Kan, and arrested
and brought back here on the charge
of having accepted money to absent
themselves from the trial of an alleged
murderer.
Having Good Time
Banks and Tillman left here with
$135 in their possession. They
purchased tickets to Kansas
City, Kan, and after having
a good time there for day then went
on to Linwood>to the home of Martin
Considine, an uncle of Tillman's, who
formerly resided in Moline. Last Tues
day they came in to Linwood from
the Considine farm and were nabbed
by the detectives, who were awaiting

them. States Attorney Magill had
visited Springfield and secured extra
dition papers which he served upon
Governor ]. &C. Stubs of Kansas.
They were honored and deputy sher-
if from Leavenworth was ordered to
accompany Mr. Brinn and the Pinker-
ton detective to Linwood and make
the arrest. The young fellows were
taken to Kansas City, where they
spent a night in Jail before being
brought back here. Upon arriving in
Rock Island they demanded Immediate
trial and they were arraigned in the
court of Justice OF the Peace P. H.
Wells, before whom the original war
rant for their arrest was sworn out.
They waived examination and were
bound over to the grand jury under
bonds of $500 each. This was fur
nished this morning by relatives OF
Banks and relatives and friends Of
Tillman.
Chance of AcquiftnI Slim
Mrs. Halves was taken to the police
station yesterday and given the infor-
nation that both Banks and Tillman
were under arrest The news affected
her so that she tainted away.
1t is stated that Halves chances Of
acquittal were considerably injured by
a confession which the two young fell
lows have made to States Attorney
Magill In addition to this it is under
stood that Detective Brinn learned
some facts o. rather startling nature,
but these, the states attorneys office
has decided not to make public as yet
They bear upon Halves guilt, however.

BABIES SUBJECT TO
COUGHS AND COLDS
KICK OFF THE COVER AND
TAKE COLD.
How One Baby Was Cured of q
Dreadful Cold by Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy.

All the world loves a baby and every
one is more or less interested in their
health and happiness. There probably
never was baby that did not kick off
the covers and take cold; in fact, babies
are particularly susceptible to colds
and Group. and the favorite remedy for
these ailments is Chamberlains Cough
Remedy. 1t always gives quick relief
and is pleasant and safe to take; in
fact, it contains nothing injurious.
Mothers have become acquainted with
this fact and do not hesitate to give
it to their babies when such a prepara-
ton is required. Mrs. John d. Harmon,
of Melfa Station, Va, says about two
weeks ago our baby had dreadful
cold and at one time 1 feared it
would have pneumonia, but one of our
sneighbors told how Chamberlain
Cough Remedy had cured her little boy.
and ! began giving it to our baby at
once and it soon cured her. l had tried
other remedies and they all failed to
do her any good. Our baby is now
well and we heartily thank Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. for it cured her
can not recommend it too highly or
say too much in it's favor. ! hope all
who read this will try it and be con-
vinced as | was.

HOPES TO CREATE
EFFICIENT BOARD
Seth Mann'S Measure Fixes Re-
sponsibility for Railroad
Commission
Under Appointive Plan Results
Would Reflect Upon the
Governor

Seth Mann, the attorney for the
traffic bureau OF the Merchants ex-
change, has prepared constitutional
amendment which will be submitted to
the legislature calling for change in
the manner of selecting the state board
of railroad commissioners. Under the
present system the board is composed
of three members, elected from three
different districts OF the state. Mann's
plan is to make the Office appointive
and thus place the responsibility for a
proper attention to duty upon the
shoulders of the governor. His amend
ment provides for six year terms, one
commissioners retiring from office every
two years.
The proposed amendment is drastic
in its requirements that no commits
sioner shall be connected even In the
remotest degree with a transportation
company. 1t is specified that at least
one member of the board shall be ad-
mitted to practice before the supreme
court of the state.
Mum holds that the inactivity of
the commissions in the past has been
due largely to a subservience created
lieves that if the governor were given
the power to appoint and thus made
responsible for the commission, an eff
cient board would be assured.
Under our present system said
Mann yesterday. with the known in
fiuenees in control. it Will be extremely
difficult to get the right kind of a
commission. 1 believe, however. that
If the governor were given the power
to appoint we would get satisfactory
men. There is still a deeper reason
why the commission should be ap-
pointed by the governor. The office
requires special knowledge and
training. There are probably not more
than 100 men in the state who are
qualified for the place through a thor
ough understanding of traffic matters.
II is difficult for the public at large
to know these persons, but the gov
ernor could pick out men eminently
qualified"
Mann's amendment does away with
the uncertainty which has thrown a
legal mist about the word conform. T"
Under the present wording of the con-
stitution the railroads have claimed
that in requiring them to conform"
TO the established rates. the trainers
of the document intended that they
need only approximate them. Mann
has changed this to read that they
shall charge no more and no less than
the established rate. In other respects
he retains the existing constitutional
provisions.
Mann holds to the theory that the
railroad bill now before the legisla-
ture should permit the commission to
fix definite rate. He believes that
the arguments in favor of merely a
maximum rate are against the interests
of the shipper and the consumer. He
points out that if only a maximum rate
were established, the way would be
opened for discrimination.
