yesterday to formulate a plan of pro-

DR.. Abercrombie, president of the As

After electing DIR. Barnwell chair
man the committee proceeded to bus
mess. Only a minimum requirement
for admission was decided upon, the
Individual members of the association
being left to settle the maximum. For
next session the minimum entrance re-
quirements for all colleges in the as

conditions; for 1911, IA units with only
two conditions allowed; and for 1912

Carefully itemized and showing

the expense account of D. w. Hurn,
appointed as the first special prose-

county auditor this morning and
calls for the payment Of $S7.45.
Comparing this figure with the

w. c. Donovan, who handled the
case on the second indictment, it is
easy to see that the reappointment
of Hurn as in the first instance,

the county neat sum of money.

Francis T. Simmons, himself rat

impossible. Simmons remarks

who endeavored to prove to him
that he is wrong.

A compromise that was in every

was arrived at in the big $4,000
damage suit of Dan Cameron
against Harry Day and others in
terested in the Hercules mine. this
morning in Judge Huneke's depart

attorneys declined to enter the ne

made the announcement that the
terms of the compromise would be
kept absolutely a private matter.
The only feature of the compro-
mise that was made public was
that aside from the financial con-
sideration the plaintiff shall receive
the very best medical attention
possible.
Cameron was injured while rid
ing through the mine in a car by
the falling of the overhead beams,
rendering him a paralytic.

''PRETTY POLL HAS
ANNUITY FOR LIFE;
AND THE DOGS, TOO

LONDON, April 14.-Though his
Mistress is dead, Mrs. Ada Britain
MIA Peters cockatoo will never
have to go without sugar and
other little necessities.
For in her will Mrs. Peters, who
lived at The Grange, kilburn, and
whose estate was valued for pro-
bate at f2l,924. made ample pro-
vision for pensioning off her
feathered pet.
To provide for his maintenance
and for that of her fox terrier
Rosie, she gave directions that Ell
per week should be paid to her
servant, Nellie Edmonds. so long
as either the bird or the dog sur
vived.
Similar care was taken to pro-
vide for her dog Nellie, who will,
without doubt. be most carefully
guarded and protected for as long
as she lives. Mrs. Peters coach
man, Henry Brown, is to receive
G week to provide Nellie with
a home and maintenance-which
latter item probably inclues bones.
Cockatoos have reached very
great ages. CentenarlanS are
more common among them than
among humans, and it would be in
teresting to know for what sum
an insurance company would pay
the cuckatoo annuity.
There can be little doubt that
the annuity will have TO be cal
culated on the probable life of the
cockatoo. not on that of the dog.
Among Mrs. Peters other be-
quests were $1,000 to the 5. P. c..

Barrill said that he believes that

of the snow and ice.
The Fairbanks expedition, which

Barrill asserts that this report
indicates that the expedition was
unsuccessful, as Cook established
