A. AND NJ. GETS
LARGE SUM
Legislature Diverts Feed Control
Funds to College Instead Of State
Treasury.

Representative W G. Davis has
been instrumental in doing a great
service for the A. and NJ. college sine
the opening of the special session. He
induced Gov. Campbell to submit the
matter of diverting the funds arising
from the feed control department of
the A. and NJ, college to the perma-
nent improvement fund of the college
rather than into the state treasury.
Bills were introduced i'm the house by
Mr. Davis and by Senator Harper in
the senate and they were speedily put
through and signed by the governor.
The following letter from Mr.. Da-
Wis to President Miner fully explains
the matter. the amount of the fund,
etc.
Col r. T. Miner,
College Station, Texas
Dear Sir;
am glad to be able to advise you
that the senate has concurred in the
house amendments to the A. and NJ
college appropriation bill and that the
bill has finally passed. The house
amendment is the bill as originally
introduced in the house which leaves
the distribution and expenditure or
the money to the Judgment and dis
erection of the board of directors and
requires an annual report to the gov
ernor of the receipts and disburse'
ments of said funds. The governor has
signed the bill and the treasurer of
the state has placed to the credit OF
the A. and NJ. college fund s1O5,S57 40.

NEW A. AND NJ DoRMIToRIEs.
Directors Have Arranged for Two and
Prof. Giesecke Preparing Plans.

College Station, Texas. Aug. 10
The funds which will be available for
the Agricultural and Mechanical col
lege of Texas under the law passed
by the special session of the legisla-
ture within the past fortnight, will en-
able the authorities to abandon the
tent life for students which has been
necessary because of the lack of dor
mitory room
As soon as the bill giving the reye-
nue. derived from the tax on stock
feeds passed the two houses at this
special session Col Miner had con
ference with Judge X X. Legett,
chairman OF the board of directors,
and a meeting of that governing body
was called. The meeting was held
this week and it at once authorized
rPof. F. E. Giesecke, the college ar
chitect. to prepare plans for two dor
mitories. to be erected just as soon
as the builders can get brick, mortar,
cement. steel and lumber together,
fashioned according to fire-proof plans.
Mr.. Giesecke is already at work on
the plans and specifications, and the
contract is to be let very soon. 1t is
hoped that the contractor can be
rushed in the work so as to have at
least one of the buildings ready by
January 1. If this is done, it will give
more room within three months after
school opens, because the next session
begins September 81, and before three
months have passed, Christmas holi-
days will be on, so that when the boys
come back in January they will be in
the new house.
Mr.. Giesecke is planning a. plain
style of architecture. The building is
to be four stories in height, and each
floor is to be separated from the 9th
er floors, so there can be no communi
cation between them. This is in or
der to assist in discipline. At West
Point, the barracks are divided into
sections by walls. Mr.. Giesecke is &C
complishing the same result, but viii
divide the barracks into sections by
floors. the only difference being tha'
at West Point the division is perpen
dicular while at the A. and NJ eolleg'
it will be horizontal.

PROBE ALLEGED GRAFT.
Illinois Central Road Said to Have
Been Big Loser.

Chicago, March 9.-Ins news article
today the Tribune says:
An inquiry into alleged grating
operations in connection with the
equipment and repairing of cars has
been carried on by the officials of the
Illinois Central Railroad company for
the last two weeks.
The amount involved in the alleged
graft has been variously figured from
100000 to $5,000,000. The latter
figures were reported from st. Louis as
the probable theft figure as indicated
from discoveries made by Comptroller
NJ. P. Blauvelt.
While Chicago officials denied last
night that any such shortage as
$5,OO0,OOO- had been uncovered. they
admitted they had been on a still hunt
for graft and that the search being
made is wide and goes into every de-
partment on the road having to do
with the car repairing and equipment.
1t was said that suspicious circum-
stances had been uncovered but that
no direct evidence of guilt had been
found.
The road owns some $1,000 cars
and these are scattered throughout
every corner of the country, so it will
require weeks to check UP all re-
paired cars and tell whether the ma
terials bought and paid for have been
used

Chicago to Have Foreign Police Le-
gion Soon.

Chicago, March 9.-Chicago is to
have a foreign police legion to work
in connection with the regular force.
Twenty-Five men will be examined in
the Sicilian language and all who pass
that test and the necessary physical
examination will be put to work.
This plan of having corps of for
eign policemen apart from the regular
force has been evolved by Chief of
Police Steward after careful consider
alton of a number of schemes to pro-
vide detectives to work on the BLACK
Hand" and other Italian murder cases
which have proved impossible of solu-
ton by the regular police force.
The chief and his inspectors believe
men who understand the Sicilian lam
guage and people are necessary to
clear up the mysteries, but the civil
service requirements have proved a
stumbling block when it came to get
ting such men on the regular police
force. AS a rule the Sicilians not only
are lacking in regulation height and
weight but also are unable to pass the
American educational test for patrol
men.
The establishment of a new arm of

this allegation Captain Titus says that
in the registration for the commission
primaries there have been more ap-

in the history of city elections in To-
peka.

and the election commissioner has or
dered that the registration books will
be open at nights hereafter. The books
will be open tonight until 10 o'clock
and every other night until 10 until the
night before the primaries
This will give the merchants and
clerks a chance to register-those who
have to work until after the closing
hours. The books will also be open
during the monday and evening meal
hours. This leaves them open contin-
ually from 7 o'clock in the morning I'M
til 10 o'clock at night.
Books which have been placed over
the city at different places of con-

could not have the books scattered
around.
