Serious trouble, 1t seems, has arisen
in the pharmacy freshman class of the
Medical College of Virginia over the
election o. class officers. and 1t was
stated last night thai the matter would
be taken before the entire student body
and the faculty, and might even be
brought into the courts.
The origin of the disagreement lies.
IT is said. in the action of II. G. Cobb,
former president of the pharmacy class.
who, having, 1t is alleged, verbally
offered his resignation upon the re-
quest of the majority of the class.
now seeks to hold his whilom position.
The class. It was stated, had objected
to the fact that the same hour was
appointed for the quiz on materla med
lea. on which an examination comes
soon, and pharmacy. Mr. Cobb. IT is
alleged, went to tho professor and
stated that the class of which he was
the presiding officer objected because
the professor was late.
Others Deny Charge.
Other members of the class say they
have never brought the charge that
the professor was late. and they BIT
terly resented their presidents alleged
charge Words followed, and Mr.. Cobb.
when requested by the majority of tho
members. said no would resign. His
alleged resignation was Immediately
acted upon and was accepted. All this
occurred about month ago.
Then the class proceeded to the cleo

the student body, the various class of
dcers went to photographer to have
their photographs taken. The pictures,
all in a group. were TO be placed in
the lobby of the college.
Pictures Not Admitted.
Then It was. it is said. that Mr..
Broadus went TO the photographer to
inform him that the officers of the
pharmacy class had not been properly
elected and that they must be stricken
from the group picture. This alleged
step came later to the ears of several
members of the pharmacy class and
excited bitter resentment. IT is said
that President Broadus has refused To
recognize the new officers of the phar-
macy class AID that he has not allowed
them the privilege of coming before
him to explain their side of the case
The issues are sharply drawn, and

lie in an official investigation by the

Richmond. who is now auditor for
Wagenhals & Kemper. at the Aston
theatre.
Inside this remarkable envelope was
o hastily scrawled note. signed Clarence
Snyder, who is tho night editor OF
the Chicago Tribune. The note said
that snyder had tried this experiment
to ascertain the thoroughness OF the
post office officials in fcrreting onr
puzzling addresses. snyder and Benz
iamin had not met for nearly ten
years. since the days when they. were
both reporters on the Milwaukee Sem

Benjamin had no idea of Snyder's

Since the telegraph companies put
into effect what is known as the night
letter rate the demand for operators
has increased to such an extent that
no young man who understands the
Morse code need hunt long for job.
Moreover. it is claimed that the new
arrangement has not only cut into the
revenues of the long-distance tele-
phone companies. but that 1t shows re-
suits in the decreasing postal revenues
of Uncle Sam. At all events, the bus
iness has grown to remarkable ex-
tent, and has even surpassed the e%-
pectations of the management.
Manager Stevenson, of the West
ern Union, and Manager Sydnor. of the
Postal Telegraph Company, have had
to increase their working force at
night to handle the business. Add
tional men have been employed for

local divisions and it is expected that
still further calls will be made.

NO WONDER PRINCE
FEARED SCRIBES
Tsai Hsun's Would-Be Assassin,
He Says, Pretended to Be a
NeWspaperman.

When Prince Tsai Hsun passed
through here in the Togo Kisen Ksisha
Chiyo Maru, en- route home to China
from his visit to the United States, it
viii be remembered that he stayed
aboard the vessel, possibly fearing
some such attempt as was made at
the Oakland mole to assassinate HIM.
But the Chinese consul here and a
few other prominent Chinese were per-
mitted to board the vessel and conduct
conversation with the prince.
1t was in this conversation, held
aboard the big liner in this, harbor the
other day. that Prince Tsai Hsun told
how a. Chinese, member of the Young
Chinese Association, had attempted to
take the royal life at Oakland He
stated, through an interpreter, for some
of the Honolulu Chinese present could
not understand the princes. style of
Chinese, that the man who had attempt
ed his life had endeavored to pass him
self off as newspaperman and had, on
that account, insisted on being allowed
close audience with the prince. But
the clever United States Secret Service
man who had been detailed I'd, protect
the royal Chinese parsonage, suspected
that the member of the Young Chinese
Association was not a newspaperman,
and his suspicious were confirmed by
the statements of others who were
newspapermen. When the would-be as
sassin started to draw his revolver and
shoot Tsai Hsun, Moffett, the Secret
Service man, was therefore ready for
him and quickly disarmed him, inci-
dentally causing the prospective assas-
sin considerable pain in his arm.
Therefore was Tsai Hsun advised and
very willing to remain aboard the Chiyo
Maru while in this port.
1t is a strange coincidence that the
Chinese who attempted to kill the
prince should have endeavored to pass
the lines under pretense of being
newspaper man, and that when the
prince went through here in the first
| place, en- route to the United States
mainland, the Hawaiian government
should have excluded all newspaper men
from audience with his highness.
Could it be that the heads uof the
Hawaiian territorial government enter
! tanned premohition to the effect that
somebody on the mainland was going
to masquerade as newspaper man with
a view to staying the prince whom the
meAbers of the Young Chinese Assoeia-
ton believe to be adverse to China Is
best interest7
In any event there is something left
for the local authorities to pat them
selves on the back for, by way of ex-
cuse for excluding Honolulu newspaper
men, for now they may borrow the inn
aginative argument that some member
of the Young Chinese Association here
might have attempted to disguise HIM
self as Honolulu newspaper man.
