HOARD RESIGNS AS REGENT
Political Partisanship IN University
Management Gwen as Reason for
Withdrawal by Ex-Governor.

Madison.-Ex-Gov w D. Hoard
has sent to Gov. McGovern his resig-
nation as a member of the board of
regents of the state university. Be-
fore going south early in the winter
Mr.. Hoard resigned as president of
the board. A little later Regent
Magnus SWenson, VINO succeeded him
as president, resigned from the board
and it was said at the time that Gov
Hoard would soon do likewise 1t
has been well understood here that
both men were not in sympathy with
what looked to them as a policy to
conduct the university on political
lines. That this view was true is
borne out by the letter of resignation
of Gov. Hoard, which is as follows:
EFT. Atkinson. Wis, March 20,
1911,-Hon. Francis E McGovern,
Governor, Madison, Wis Sir:
hereby tender my resignation from
the board Of university regents to
take effect at once. Failing health
and an unwillingness to longer re-
main as member Of body that has
lately been reconstructed upon the
basis and for the main purpose of
political craftsmanship for the La Fol-
lette faction in politics are my chief
reasons for resigning.
Il do not believe that a great state
school like our university can be wise
ly, honestly or efficiently administer
ed from so narrow standpoint. Re-
spectfully yours, w. d. HOARD"
Both Gov. McGovern and Presi-
dent Van Hise of the board of re-
gents have given out statements de-
nying with great emphasis that there
IS any political partisanship in the
board, as charged by Ex-Goy. Hoard.

ROMANCE OF COLD WEATHER
Man Saves Two Lives but Subsequent
lionizing Is Much to His
Disadvantage.

Two lovers were strolling along q
canal bank on the outskirts Of Paris
the other day when the woman sud-
denly ran from her companion and
threw herself into the water. Though
but a bad swimmer, her companion at
once jumped into rescue her. but he
was unable to do so, and both were
In peril of drowning. At this mo-
ment stranger came along, and see
Ing the struggling couple, bravely
jumped in and succeeded in bringing
both the man and the woman to the
bank, where they were soon revived.
cheering crowd assembled to con-
graduate the rescuer who, however,
showed great reluctance to be lion
lied. He was quickly walking way
when two policemen came on the
scene and insisted that the name and
address of SO brave a man should be
taken. Their surprise was great
when they found that the gallant
rescuer was a burglar for whom the
police were anxiously searching. He
was taken into custody and will be
brought up for sentence. 1t Is expect
ed that the gallant rescue will lead
to his dismissal, or at least to a re-
duction in any sentence that might
otherwise have been passed on him
for his less heroic deeds.
