Rockefeller Is Absent.

John D. Rockefeller was not
present at 26, Broadway, the head
quarters Of the Standard Oil Co., at
the time of special meeting in which
his resignation was acted upon. The
termination of the business career of
the man who has acquired a unique
position in history and ahlassed
what IS generally regarded as the
largest private fortune In the world
was perfunctory proceeding.
1t had been planned in advance,
although the plans had been kept
secret. All the information vouch-
safed at rs Broadway came in the
shape Of brief typewritten state
ment announcing the charges.
Today's action affects not only
the New Jersey company but a NUM-
ber OF other corporations in the
Standard group.

Jurist Probable Candidate For Con.
gross in Ninth District.
Special to es-Republican.
Des Moines. Feb. 11.-According to
information at hand here. the probable
candidate for congress in the Ninth
district, who may be selected without
any controversy, is Judge Green. 1t
is stated that he is not actively can
didate but il being strongly urged by
prominent republicans Of both factions
as perhaps the only one who could get
the nomination without a struggle and
because 1t Is so certain that he could
easily be elected in the special cleo
ton next summer. He has not been
conspicuous In political matters Of late
and there would be little excuse for
any republican to oppose him. It Is
certain that no one Of the various menu
bers Of the state senate who have been
discussed in that connection will be
q candidate for the place. II the NOM
ination could come to either one of
them without fight he would accept 1t.
of course. This applies to Senators
Savage and GillilIand. But
neither one will go in on fight for
the place and this Is final. Senator
Saunders has been, perhaps. most
strongly urged of anyone in the dis
trict to become q candidate, but he
appears not to have given It much con-
sideration. and Is quite content to con-
tinue in the practice Of law. Ex-Attor-
ney General Byers took himself COM
pletely out Of 1t some time ago.

Resent the Charge That Proximity Of
Saloons Has Driven Students to
Other seheoIs-Say Carnegie Feun.
dation Has Closed Doors 20 Youna
Men Who Most Need Advantages.

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Feb. Ills it Andrew
Carnegie or Mr.. Schlitz that is causing
a decrease in attendance at the state
university?
That seemed to be the question under
debate in the committee hearing yes
terday on the five-mile limit law. The
attack upon Mr.. Carnegie was directed
by Ex-senator Ball. Dave Brant.
George Reddick, F. Ayers and Ex-
County Attorney Mcdonald. The coun-
ter attack was by Mr.. Williams. a stu
dent at the university: J. w. johnson.
a newspaper man Of DeS Moines, and
others.
1t seemed to be admitted on all hands
that there has been loss Of about 800 In
attendance this year. It was also adj
mitted that Iowa City is clean and
moral and the saloons well regulated.
1t was shown that about Is per cent of
the students want the dve-mile limit
law and that letters were received ia
vorahle from several hundred alumni.
The main argument for the bill, how
ever, came from the showing that per-
sons all over the state who have sons
to send to the university are asking the
bill.
Claim Il 10 Not Saloons.
II deny emphatically." said ex-coun-
ty attorney. that 1t Is the saloons Of
Iowa City that are causing the de-
crease of attendance. 1t is because stu
dents come to the university and find
the Carnegie wall in their way. Placing
the university. on the Carnegie founda-
ton in order that a few professors may
receive pensions has closed the doors
OF the university to the young men Of
Iowa who most need IT.
It was shown in the discussions,
practically. that there had been no fall
ing OFF until this last year, and that
during the many years Of the life of
the university it has prospored while
saloons have existed in that city. In
fact the period Of least growth was in
the old prohibition days. It was also
shown that the main falling off in the
attendance this year was IN the pro-
fessional departments where the stand
ards have been raised in an effort to
come up to the requirements OF the
Carnegie foundation.
The entire discussion related far
more to the general effect of the Car
magic foundation on the university than
to anything else. The showing on the
part Of Iowa City business men was
very strongly in favor OF continuance
Of the present system.
