SENIORS The VICTORS.
Win Trophy at Thomas Gymnasium
Last Night.

The Neiswanger trophy was today
engraved with the numerals of the
senior class of Washburn. The seniors
won the first annual indoor interclass
meet last night in the Thomas gym
nasium, and were formally presented
with the trophy by President Sanders
early this morning-at just minutes
after midnight, to be exact. The senior
class has always laid claim to the nick
name of ''the winning class Of 1870"
and their attitude this morning toward
the other classes was rather insolent.
Excitement at the meet was at fever
heat continually. The outcome was in
doubt till the last moment, and the
cheering during the last relay was deaf
ening. The pole vault was spectacular,
both Heberling CD and Beard Cd fail
ing at ten feet which is a good indoor
height.
Sam Bradfeld (S) was the individual
star and was presented with the high
man. trophy. Clyde Ely. the freshman
long distance man, ranked second with
10 points, and F'rantz tSoph) third with
9 points, The first announcement was
greeted with Senior .'Rocka-chicka-

The number employed for each one
injured in the coupling of cars in 1893
was ID. while IN 1908 the number was
81, an increase in the factor of safety
so far as injuries are concerned of
1862 per cent.
The numbe, killed for each thousand
employed in 1898 was three and but
one in 1908, showing a decrease in the
hazard of railroad employment
amounting to 66.67 per cent. The
number injured for each thousand en-
ployed in the service in 1893 was II;
in 1908 it was 16, decrease in this
hazard amounting to 1922 per cent.
The department has issued tables on

in this report shows that while deaths

to trainmen from coupling accidents
have progressively decreased.

Defends VivisectiOn

DR.. S. Weir Mitchell, Of Philadel-
phia, who is considered the greatest
neurological expert in this country, and
who is the author of a number of
scientific works and popular novels,
lectured Monday night at the Johns
Hopkins University, Baltimore, on the
life and medical work Of William Har-
vev, the scientist, who discovered the
method of circula ton OF the blood and
thus laid the foundations OF medical
learning. Incidentally, DR.. Mitchell,
in speaking of the method used by
Harvey to discover the way blood circu-
lated, vigorously scored the antivisec-
tionists and their campaign to prevent
the use of animals for experimental
purposes in medicine and surgery.
Harvey" said DR.. Mitchell, "dis-
covered that blood flowed toward the
heart, and this was the great begin
ming Of modern MEDICINE. But this
discovery could not have been made
except from experiments On living
animals. There were no anesthetics
in those early years Of the seventeenth
century, and SO the experiments must
have caused the subjucts a great deal
Of pain, and suppose that Harvey
would be hailed at the present time as
monster Of cruelty. But what was
the sacrifice of few animal lives to
the great discovery which he made and
which has saved countless human lives?
Now when we wish to see the method
of circulation of the blood we can tear
off part Of the chest OF the animal and
thus watch its heart, hut no pain is
caused, as all doctors are very careful
to use anesthetics.
f'In those early days Harvey had to
fight against great difficulties. There
were many hangings, and the bodies of
these unfortunates were used by him,
although the friends and relatives OF
the victims sJrenuously objected to
this, the, only usefulness which the
men served ~ in death or in life. -
