II an arr2ionmpn Of American
university life, delivered last night
before the higher education Depart
ment, Samuel Avery, chancellor OF
the University Of Nebraska, declared
that in many cases students are ex-
~travagant idlers, who, being able to
afford it, spend their winters in fash
ionable universities, which they re-
gard as attractive winter resorts
under the guise Of institutions OF
learning and culture.
"a student nowadays must be very
brilliant or gNery troublesome before
the college president becomes ac-
Auainted with him at ALL" said Chan
cellor Avery. THE enormous influx
Of students has changed the charac-
ter of the student body. Every col
lege president knows, and if he IS
frank will admit, that there is some
truth in the structures Of the late T..
T. Crane.
THE story. widely circulated and
commonly believed, that in the de-
struction by fire of a fraternity house
at one institution the students lost
their lives because they were too in
toxicated to escape, and the other
story Of the drunken student who

cussing the administration Of the
Appalachian Forest Reserve Act.
commonly known as the Weeks Law,
the Director Of the United States Geo
logical Survey, in his annual report
for the fiscal year ended June 80,
1911, states that the Geological Sur
vey reports required under that law
must involve something more than
perfunctory action and must consist
of showing of facts rather than an
expression of opinion. The law places
upon the Geological Survey the de-
termination of the fundamental ques-
ton whether the control of a specific
tract of land pertains to the promo
ton or protection of naylgabiuty,
and. stipulates that favorable report
to the Secretary of Agriculture must
precede the purchase Of the tract con-
sidered.
me solution of complex scientific
problems is required in order to es-
tablish actual and substantial rela-
tionship between control of head
water tracts and the navigation of
streams, and while the responsibility
for this determination had not been
sought by the Geological Survey, this
new application of scientific investi-
cation to an administrative problem
has been accepted by the survey as
directly in line with its geologic and

JURY CANNOT QUALIFY
VERDICT FOR MURDER
Decision by United States Supreme
Court Affects Case of
Arthur johnson.

Juries in the District OF Columbia
are not to be permitted TO add the words
without capital punishment in return
ing a verdict for murder In the first de-
gree. according to a decision made today
By the United States Supreme Court. IL
was held that the new criminal code OF
the United States. which allows qualified
verdicts in murder cases. does not apply
to the District of Columbia. but only
to federal territory outside of the Ma
tional Capital
The decision was rendered in the case
of Arthur johnson. now under sentence
OF death, and held in the District JAN.
When Johnson was on trial his attoi-
news asked the court to instruct the jury
that they might qualify their verdict. But
the presiding judge at the trial declined
to give the instructions. Since his rulins,
however, another justice of the District
Supreme Court held that the verdict OF
first degree murder might be qualif1ed ny
the jury. -
Johnson's attorneys seized upon this
ruling as a possible chance to secure a
new trial and thus save Johnson from
the death penalty. Todays decision
takes away Johnsons last chance IN the
courts of escape from the penalty

SENIOR RIvERO HOPEFUL.

Senior Antonio Martin Rivero. Cuban
minister, takes an optimistic view of
the Cuban situation and expresses con-

says that the insurgents have been

but little damage. and that as they
number only about Loo men. they VIII

CHICAGO. June THE expected ar
rival of a. P. Moore and William Finn
from Oyster Bay was the chief topic Of
discussion at the hotel headquarters of
the Taft and Roosevelt forces today.
Various constructions were placed on the
trip to Chicago of the eastern Roosevelt
men at this time.
Senator Dixon of Montana, manager of
the Roosevelt campaign. denied reports
that he was to be supplanted as active
director of the former President inter-
ests In the pro-convention struggle. lie
saidth at other Roosevelt leaders would be
called to Chicago from time to time as
their services were needed to further Col.

said the arrival OF Moore and Finn had
just that significance and no other.
Representative Mckinley of Illinois.
President Taft's manager, hailed the
weakness in the Roosevelt campaign
management, and said it ind Gated that
desperate efforts were being made to
save sinking Ship

to the departure of A. 7. Moore OF Pitts

tative arrangements. will be the speaker
on Roosevelt day. and Senator 7. +.
Burton of Ohio has been asked to speak

two days have not been set.
Many members sought to have debate
chairman of the Roosevelt campaign, and
Representative w. II. Mckinney, Iaft
leader but it Is said to be unlikely that
the two will meet in such an argument.
Scalpers Get Tickets.
Scalpers have come into possession OF
tickets for the republican national con-
vention. This was admitted last night by
Col. Harry S. New, chairman of the sub
committee on arrangements, who at the
same time declared it a regrettable situa-
ton, but something that the committee
was powerless to prevent.
The Oft repeated story Of the alleged
existence of many seats that We're not
shown on the printed plans was strenu-
ously denied. Col. New said that any one
who suspected that anything Of the kind
existed has the liberty to go through the
arrangements of seats with an architect.
1t is the opinion Of the managers
that the tickets were given the scaipers
by subscribers to the fund to bring the
convention to Chicago. Subscribers were
promised a ticket for each hundred
dollars subscribed. and 1t Is believed
that many restaurants and hotel
keepers who subscribed are expecting
to get their money back through the
scalpers.
The tickets have been contracted for
at 500 apiece, but will not be deliv-
cred to the purchaser until the day
before the convention.
