uel f. KerfoOt, who was recommend
ed by the committee of Hamline col

bers of the committee concerning his
recommendation to the presidency of

however by the local friends of DR..
Kerfoot that he will accept the cleo
ton when it is made next Friday,
April 26, at which time the board
meets to take action on the recon-
mendation of the committee.
The board of trustees OF Dakota

in the way of DR.. Kerfoot's advance.
ment to Hamline, and will accept his
resignation that he might be able to
accept the other. In conversation
with DR.. Kerfoot he stated that he
disIikes very much to leave Dakota
Wesleyan, and that he would not
consider it for any other college ex
cept Hamline, which is his alma
mater, having graduated from it in
1889.

ed at the next session to appropri.
ate $4,000. The committee has been
given assurances that the federal

According to the plan fixed upon
by the subcommittee and which the

soon as the money is available
with authorities at the uni

ENGLAND WILL inquire
into TITANIC wreck
This to Be Done Under Board
of Trade Direction.

London. April 23.-The session OF
the house of commons was devoted to
debate of the Titanic catastrophe
and incidental to this the board OF
trades Anticipated regulations were
brought into discussion.
A regular fusillade OF questions was
fired at Sydney Buxton, president OF
| the board of trade, prior to the intro
auction Of the motion made by VIII
! Crooks, Labor member
! Mr.. Buxton, in reply, announced he
already had summoned a meeting OF
! the leading British ship owners for an
Immediate exchange of views. He also
! had taken steps to confer with the
lord chancellor in regard to the ap-
pointment of high legal authority as
wreck commissioner to preside over
the Titanic inquiry.
! All questions as to route, speed, life.
boats, searchlights, etc, he said, would
be submitted to searching investiga.
| ton by the strongest possible court OF
! inquiry and if the board of trades
! present powers were inadequate to en-.
| force the necessary regulations he
would not hesitate to ask parliament
to confer further powers.
Mr.. Buxton said he was preparing
for an immediate conference of the
ship owners regarding measures which
the companies themselves contem.
plated taking, pending a revision of
the statutory rules. He also was care
fully considering the ACCESSIBILITY OF
approaching other governments with
view to calling an international con
venton to suggest legislation for the
safety of passengers.
In referring to the prompt action
taken by the American senate Mr..
Crooks said:
Commends American Senate.
"They did not wait to find out
whether the law gave them power to
subpoena and question people who
could throw light on the matter. They
at once sent commission out to in.
! tercept even the owners of the vessel
together with any others they wanted
as witnesses. We have heard that
they had no authority under the law
to do so, but they did it, and England
has applauded them for doing it,
Replying, Mr.. Buxton said that it
had been decided to appoint a wreck
commission to make a fuller inquiry
into the Titanic disaster, of which
Lord Mersey, former president of the
admiralty division of the high court,
had consented to act as chairman. He
was assisted by two assessors, whose
names will be announced later.
Since the question had been raised
he had consulted Lord Mersey and as
certained that such a court would
have full power to procure the at.
tendance of necessary witnesses. 1t
said, and in readiness to begin taking
evidence of survivors who will arrive
on the Lapland.
The proceedings Of the inquiry, con-
tinued Mr.. Buxton, will be public.
Arrangements have also been made
through the British consul general at
New York to take the affidavits of OFF,
GERS and other members of the crew
who might be detained in the United
States, as we'll as the evidence of pas
sengers who could supply useful in
formation.
Mr.. Crooks expressed satisfaction at
these assurances and withdrew his
motion.

Who Survived Disaster.

New York, April 22.-Except for fur.
