Y. P. |. STUDENTS
RESENT CHARGES
THEY DECLARE THAT PRESENT
MORAL CONDITIONS ARE GOOD.
ADOPT RESOLUTIONS.

BLACKSBURG, VA Special.-At a
meeting OF the student body OF Vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute the follow
ing resolutions were adopted:
1.-THE corps Of cadets at the Vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute, through
the medium of the press, brand the
charges that immoral conditions ex-
list here, or that the honor system is
not good or has deteriorated, as will
full untruths and a slandercus state
ment.
They assert their loyalty and con-
fidence in their president and his al
ministration, and wish to go on re-
cord as stating that in their belief
the charges were either brought by
one not in fun possession of his senses
or by one acting as the tool of shrewd
men who are trying to further their
own selfish interest by libelous state
ments.
Understanding that their former
commandant is the fountain and
source of several more charges to be
proffered, they wish to state that in
their opinion his removal from his
post was conducive to the general
welfare Of the school, and also to say
that the present morals of this school
are very high, and in the hands of q
new commandant who is apt to keeI
it So"

the twelve men temporarily filling the
jury box were in the custody of the
sheriff, awaiting the reconvening of
court tomorrow. In the meantime at
torneys for both sides worked dill
gently on the case.
The most important matter now be-
fore the lawyers is the selection OF
the jury. During the coming SEES
sions OF court the examination of tales
men will be the next important mat
ter that will come up. For the State
this questioning will be turned over
to G.. Ray Horton, chief trial deputy.

Kansas Man Who Has Plan for Put.

Market Quesies lowans.

Des Moines, Nov. 22.-The Iowa
Amendment association yesterday was
called upon to settle new phase Of the
prohibition question In Iowa. An in
terested Kansas man wrote In to- know
If he would have to pay revenue tax on
solid booze. He was also Interested
in knowing whether or not 1t would be
more profitable to Uncle Sam to have
pellet pills for bibulous persons sold
in labeled boxes than in bottles, bar
rels or kegs.
1t is understood by this interested
person that the eatable drinks can be
prepared in any size and he suggests
that when tabloid toddy is on the mar
ket man can fill his pocket with
straight whiskey and without leaving
his chair in the theater, take one when
ever he needs a stimulant. He may
not be able to go away from there
when the final curtain is rung down,
but he has not annoyed every one near
him in the curtain waits, has not
mussed back hair, nor fallen over
women's feet nor trod on gouty mems
toes.
But the legal department of the Iowa
Amendment association sees no hope
for the pellet manufacturer in Kan
sas. Whiskey is whiskey, saith the
Iowa law and whether 1t comes In
cakes, gum drops, soothing syrup bot
