the student body is to consist of 1S
undergraduates. seven seniors, three
juniors, two sophomores and one
freshman. OF these, the four class
presidents, the president of oratory
and debate, the colonel of the college
regiment, the editor of the Barometer,
the auditor of the athletic board of
control and the president of the stu
dent body are to be ex-officio mem
bers of the council, the last named
acting as chairman. The remainder
of the council members are to be de-
legates-at-large chosen at the annual
elections of the student body.
The exact duties of the council are
not defined by the new plan but they
will in general consist of making and
enforcing regulations regarding stu
dent conduct and consideration of any
matters which affects the entire stu
dent body. 1t is planned to allow
the system to work itself out with the
experiences arising from particular
incidents, and in the meantime the
student body have delegated the coun-
Gil almost unlimited power.
President Kerr has of course re-
served the right to veto any act OF
the council but in practically all mat
ters of student affairs, it will be given
full sway. The council, which viii
probably be elected at the student
meeting on Friday, will take office or

GALLAGHER WILL PLEAD
INSANITY AS DEFENSE

When James J. Gallagher, the as
sailant Of Mayor Gaynor, is brought
tt trial ten days hence, his defense
will probably be that he was insane
at the time of making the assault.
The charge against him will be afro
cious assault with intent to kill "Big
Bilr' Edwards, the street cleaning
commissioner who came to the assist
ance Of the mayor and who captured
Gallagher. The prosecuting officials
believe that this charge, with that OF
carrying concealed weapons, will hold
Gallagher for awhile. 1t does SEEM
however, that man with a gun who
wanted to kill big Bilr' could hard
ly have missed a man of his mighty
bulk. -,Gallagher's trial for the as
sault on Mayor Gaynor will not
take place until next August, as II
the Mayor should die within year
and a day Of the shooting Gallagher
could be charged with murder In the
first degree.

MEDICO-LEGAL SOCIETY
RELIEVES PATRICK INNOCENT

Members of the New York Medico-
Legal society, having been convinced
of the innocence of Albert T. Patrick,
the lawyer who was convicted of the
murder of William NJ. Rice, Texas
millionaire, have appealed to Gov.
White for an official investigation.
The result OF the appeal will not be
known for eleven days, when re-
port will be made at q meeting of the
society.
Rice was killed ten years ago, and
after a sensational trial, Patrick, his
lawyer, was convicted Of the crime
and sentenced to death After long
legal battle the sentence was COM
mdted to life Imprisonment at Sing
Sing. The medico-legal experts hold
that Rice could not have been killed
by chloroform alone, as argued at
the trial by Patrick, as the lungs were
too much congested for that. DR..
Clark Bell, Prof. H. s. Echols of
Philadelphia, and DIR. John j. Kind
red, a congressman-elect, are men,
bers of the committee of, the society
which is actively in charge Of the
work in Patrick's behalf.

FISHING SEASON CLOSED
WITH FEW ARRESTS MADE

Salem. Or.-The fishing season on
20. and. according to the report of
Master Fish Warden r. E. Clanton,
which was transmitted to the state
board of fish commissioners today, the
heavy precipitation causing much
high water made 1t necessary for the
fishermen to cease operations several
days before the date for closing ar
rived, consequently the deputies re-
port little difficulty in enforcing the
law and the closed season period was
far advanced before the waters re-
ceded sufficiently to allow operations
to begin again.
Owing also to the high water in the
coast streams large numbers Of adult
fish were allowed to reach the spawn
ing grounds and hatcheries, but on
the other hand the freshets enabled
cry racks with the result that many
succeeded in escaping from the hatch
cry men. However, the fisheries bu-
real succeeded during the month In
taking 2,071,000 Chinook and 1.170,-
900 Silverside eggs at the Siuslaw va

crews are still at work taking Silver
