To ENLARGE
JOHNS HOPKINS
Campaign Started to Raise
$2,O0O,0O0 to Move In
stitute to Suburbs
Of Baltimore.

Baltimore, Md, June 14.--At the
commencement exercises OF Johns
Hopkins University today it was au-
nounced that campaign will be made
to raise $2,OOOOO to move the institu.
ton into the suburbs OF Baltimore
and add schools OF law, engineering,
diplomacy, teaching and preventive
medicine to the present university
course.
AS explained by l.. II. Grimes, sec.
retary OF the commission of univer-
sity extension, half OF the $4,000, 600
will be devoted to the construction of
new buildings and the installation of
the university of Howewood. The
other million will be added to the en-.
downment fund to provide for the ex-
pense of broadening the scope OF the
university.
one of the most important of the
proposed additions will be the school
of law. This school will be conducted
in harmony with the aims OF the
graduate schools and methods already
conducted at Johns Hopkins in critl-
cal study and research.
The school of diplomacy which It
is proposed to establish is, in the
opinion OF Mr. Grimes, a pressing
need in this country.
The site to which the university ls
to be novel is a tract of 12O acres
two miles north of the centre of the
city. 1t was given to the university i'm
1902 by several Baltimoreans. Al
ready a fine athletic field has been
built and large part of the botanical
work of the university has been trans
ferred TO the site.

parts of the state. A local deal
er in one Of the cities of the state was
fined $1,000 and costs in justice court

beled according to the stockfood law.
Another party was recommended for

trial will be held in q few days.
Mr.. +. G. Cole, farmer near Villas,
S. D., was fined $1,000 and costs in
justice court for selling rotten eggs to
one of the local dealers. There has
been misconception with regard to
the pure food law throughout the
state on account Of the fact that the
word mo" was, by some accident,
substituted for the word "any" in a
certain place in the pure food law
when its was enacted two years ago.
But this error only affects the ship
ping of adulterated food and in no
way affects the sale thereof. The err
ror will not materially affect the en-
forcement of the pure food laws. Ev-
eryone found selling rotten eggs, or
offering the same for sale In the stores
or merchants selling the same to pro-
duce houses, will be recommended for

APPORTIoN LAWMAKERS
Legislature Will Determine Matter on
Basis of Census

Pierre-The state constitution pro-
vides that at the first legislative
session after a state or national
census, and at no other time, the
legislature shall apportion it's mem
bership on basis of population. The
figures shall be ready by the first of
next year to allow the legislative
members to get busy. Of course the
legislature has not at all times heed
ed the mandate of the constitution in
regard to rapport onment, but it al
ways at least has made an attempt
In the coming session there will be
a new element in the increased popu-
lation in the western half of the
state. Under present conditions it
requires greater populat on west of
the river for one senator than it does
for two senators in some of the east
ern counties. Stanley anG Lyman as
one district west of the river have
about 5000 votes, and get one sena-
tor. Minnehaha and Brown counties,
both with the same vote or lighter
vote, get two each. The constitution
al limit, forty-fve senators, has been
reached and the only way the western
counties can get increase is by the
policy of extraction from the eastern
counties. Under the conditions it
rests with the westerners to find some
way in which to force the fasteners
to share with them with more equal
ity the senatorial representation.
