WANT STUDENT VIEWS.
Will Be Asked to Criticise the Acts of
Instructors.

Chicago. May 1S--University of Chi
cago students at last have opportunity
to revenge themselves upon unpopular
professors. The faculty must submit
to the indignity of being freely eriti-
cised by their own pupils, according to
new university ruling just made
public.
Under the latest midway dictum the
students are expected to turn in their
candid opinions of the professors who
lecture to them, together with sugges-
tions for improvement in teaching
methods.
Prof r. A. Milliken of the physics
department explained the new system.
I'VE wish to secure the sincere views
of the students upon questions relating
to their courses he said. THE names
of the critics will be kept secret"
The opinions, which are expected to
be vigorous in some instances, will be
considered by a special faculty COM
n1ittee, and it is expected that changes
may be ordered in several depart
mentS.

mander Rickell will be: mo faction,
no politics, no creed, but harmony
everywhere.
"There has been altogether too
much pickering and strife among G.
A. r., men of late for the good of the
order" he continued. mo mans
personal ambition is, or ought to be,
larger than the G. A. R. By bring
ing those ambitions into the G. A. R.
and starting trouble there on account
of them, the whole order is brought
into disrepute. and we lose the honor
and respect of a multitude of people
who are anxious and ready to honor
US and the order.
THE past two or three years have
witnessed a constant struggle in Kan
sas for supremacy between factions.
There ought to be no factions in a
patriotic order like ours. and 1 hope
the factions will subside. 1 was elected
as harmony candidate. and I am going
to do all in my power to obliterate the
lines between the factions.

appointments, solely with the good of
the order in view, and not with any
intention or purpose to boost any one

SHE WON Her CASE.
Woman Sued Publishers for Using Her
Picture on Whisky Ad.

Washington, May 1s.-The case of
Elizabeth Peck versus the Chicago Tri-
bune company, involving a charge OF
libel by Mrs. Peck against the Tribune
because of the publication of her por-
trait as part of an advertisement en-
dorsing a certain brand of whisky, has
been decided by the supreme court of
the United States in favor of Mrs
Peck and against the conlnany Justice
Holmes announcing the decision of the
court.
1t appeared from the record in the
case that Mrs. Peck. was a. resident of
Iowa and a temperance advocate Her
picture was printed over another name
that of a nurse, and she was quoted
in strong endorsement of whisky
1t was contended that the damage. if
any, was nominal Justice Holmes held.
however, that she had a right to prove
her case, holding that the publication
represented Mrs. Peck, notwithstanding
the use of another name. Justice
Holmes said:
MANY might recognize the PLAINTIFFS
face without recognizing her name and
those who did know might be led to
infer she had sanctioned the publication
under an alias
He also held that even though the
publication had been by mistake, the
publisher was not relieved from respon-
sibility. ....4...-
The court added:

the obvious tendency of what is impu-
ted to the plaintif by this advertise
rent is not seriously to hurt her stand

fering from a slight nervous break
down. was taken i'll while on her way
from the city to Mount Vernon on the
yacht Sylph with a party of friends
and was hurried back to the White
House. 1t was said at the White House
that there is no cause for alarm. and
that Mrs. Taft probably will be all
right again in a few days. She was
unable to be present last night at an
official dinner at the. White House.
President Taft himself prepared the
following statement in regard to Mrs.
Taft's condition:
Mrs. Taft is suffering from a slight
nervous attack She attended an eve
and throat specialist this morning,
where Charlie underwent a slight oper-
alton on his throat. She was with him
for several hours. She then started
with the president and small party of
friends on the Sylph for Mount Vernon.
The excitement, heat and eXertion were
the party was obliged to turn back be-
fore reaching Alexandria"
Mrs. Taft was quickly carried to the
White House. The doctor says after d
few days of complete rest, Mrs. Taft
may be able to resume her social
duties. DR.. Delaney is in attendance.
Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Taft's sister acted as
hostess at the official dinner at the
White House. Mrs. Taft's illness prob
ably will not interfere with the presi-
dents trip to Petersburg, Va, and
Charlotte, N. c., Wednesday and
Thursday of this week, but Mrs. Taft
will not be able to accompany him. She
had already decided, after visiting the
hospital to abandon the trip, as she
felt that she should remain here The
operation performed on Charles was
not of a serious nature.
Mrs Taft was much improved today.
After the call of DIR. Delaney, the at
tending physician, at the White House
it was announced that the presidents
wife had rested comfortably and was
much better
Although Mrs. Taft was much i'm

TUBE CAVES IN.
Nearly 500 Feet of the TenneS-
see Pass Tunnel
Tumbles Down on the Tracks OF
the ID. & r. G.
WAS NO LOSS OF LIFE
1t Was Thought at
First a Train Was Buried.
Accident Probably Dueto Melting
OF Heavy Snow.

Denver, Colo, May 1S.-Nearly 500
feet of the famous tunnel over Tennes-
see Pass on the Denver & Rio Grande
railway, located about five miles west
of Leadville, caved in last night. There
were no casualties.
The cave-in occurred about 1000 feet
from the portal of the tunnel probably
at one of the three air shafts that
reach up through the tunnel roof and
was undoubtedly caused by the melting
of the unprecedented heavy SHOWS. AL
though heavily timbered throughout
the tunnel is always carefully watch
ed, and precautions have been doubled
during the last few weeks.
Inc discovery of the cave-in was
made by track walker. Believing that
the vast mass of dirt and rock had
buried a train he hurried back to the
first station and gave the warning. A
train bearing engineers and officials of
the road was rushed to the scene, but
in the meantime the wires had been at
work and it was found that there had
been no loss of life or any one hurt.
Arrangements have been made
whereby traffic will be taken care of
by the Colorado Midland railway At
the offices of the chief engineer of the
Denver & Rio Grande railway it was
stated this morning, that the cave-in
at the Tennessee Pass tunnel was prob
ably less serious than first reports had
indicated. 1t is confidently expected
that traffic through the tunnel will be
restored within 48 hours.
The Tennessee Pass tunnel was COM
pleted in 1890, and was part of the
work of the reconstruction of the Dem
yer & Rio Grande railway when that
road was changed from a narrow
gauge to a standard gauge line. The
tunnel is known to tourists all over the
world
