Utica, N. ", Oct S0.-3:45 p. mr.
There is no change in Vice Presi-
dent sherman's condition. He re-
mains in stupor and is slowly sink
ing.
At S:15 p. m DR.. Peck stated that
there probably would be no change
in Mr.. Shermans condition in from
six to twelve hours.
svice President Sherman's death
is a question Of only few hours,
said DR.. Peck when he left the Sher-
man residence at noon today. The
vice president was delirious when he.
essfs+rq Cor few minutes early this
morning, He then relapsed into
heavy sleep. 1t is not believed Mr..
Sherman will survive the next "A
hours
DR.. Peck said that Mr. Sherman's
kidneys had refused to act since 2
o'clock yesterday and that most o
the time since his patient had been
in a comatose condition. For few
minutes early today he was awake,
but he was delirious. He soon drop
ped off to sleep and has remained
oblivious to the world since. He has
not been rational since Monday night.
DR. Peck expects the end this after
noon or tonight.
At 2:3O O'Clock a report came from
Mr.. Sherman's bedside that his con-
dition was still most critical and no
hope was held out by DR.. Peck. His
kidneys were still inactive and life
was sustained apparently by the pa
TENTS great natural vigor.
At 1:45 o'clock brief bulletin was
issued from the home of Vice Presi-
dent Sherman that there had been no
particular. change in his condition and
adding that there is no favorable
symptom whatever"
The afternoon bulletin on Vice
President Sherman's condition says
there is no favorable condition what
ever. The attending physician holds
out no hope, but says it is impossible
to determine when the end will come
Information is not given out very
freely, but it is understood taat The
comatose condidtion has practically
been unbroken throughout the day
and that the uraemia remains uTl-
changed. The extremely critical con
dition Of the patient has caused many
rumors Of the death of the vice pres
ident and the local newspaper offices
have been flooded with inquiries. Dr.
Peck is entirely without hope for his
patient, but says 1t is impossible te

a message was received here this
afternoon by Mrs. Sherman from
President Taft, as follows:
Mrs. Taft and ! have been greatly
shocked and distressed to hear Q
the present illness of the vice presi

of sympathy with the earnest hop'
that the symptoms may become more
favorable and that your dear husband
may be restored to his friends in thii

High School Notes

During the last two weeks, bas-
ketball practice has been going on
steadily at the High School, under
the direction of Captain Ferguson.
Despite the fact that practically all
the material is very light, Captain
Ferguson expects to turn out a win
ming team, the speed Of the light
boys to make up for the lack Of
weight. The team will most likely
line up as follows: right forward,
Bowen; left forWard1 ferguson;
center, Holton; right guard, Miller
left guard, Mote Those who will
most likely land the substitute po-
sitiOns are LOvett and Grow. As
goal shooters, Ferguson and Bowen
have developed wonderfully, and
can be counted on aImCSt every
time. AT center, the opposing cen
ters will find tough proposition,
as HOltOn has most remarkable
reaching powers, and his shooting
Is certainly an Improvement over
last year. Miller is exceptionally
fast at guard, and can be counted
upon every second Of the game.
Mote will undoubtedly break up
more than one Of the enemy S at
tacks, as he has developed into a
very fast man. The boys are ham
pered III their practice, owing to
the fact that they have no Gymna-
SUM. and all practice must be car
ried on out Of doors. then when the
boys get on the floors of the oppos-
ing teams, they are not sure Of
themselves.
All the teachers Of the High,
Grammar and Primary Schools are
attending Teachers Institute this
week.

Monday evening, December 9th,
are being held every evening under

COLLEGE CHARTER COMMIT
TEES REACH AGREEMENT
Status Of the College Apparently Settled All Property
Likely to be Decided to the State.

With the view of securing a per-
petual charter for Delaware Col
Iege at the coming session Of the
General Assembly, a Joint commit
tee representing the State Board
of Education. to which body the
question was referred by the last
Legislature, and the Board of Trus-
tees Of the College, have reached
an agreement relative to some
most essential points that should
be included in such a charter. The
present charter that the college is
being conducted under will expire
early next year having simply been
extended for two years by the last
Legislature. These points to be i'll
cOrporated in the charter it is be
lieved and hoped will remove all
objections and meet with the ap-
proyaI of all parties concerned
They would wipe out the dual
+ boards and convey the equity held
by the original board in the college
property to the State. the two
points which really have been the
bone Of contention for the past
four years III the attempts to get
a perpetual calendar.
While the action Of the joint
committee has yet to be ratified by
the State Board of Education and
the Board of Trustees Of the Col,
lege. it is thought that each Of thest
bodies will sustain the work of its
comittee. The coming to this agree,
ment by the two committees was
really a compromise, as both Were
apparently i'll a cOncilatory mood
and willing to give and take i'll com
ing to a conclusion that they con
sidered would be for the best wei
fare of Delaware College. This i!
especially true of the representa-
tives of the old board, for regard
less of what might be the presen
opinion the fact remains that fifty
years ago, the State to secure th'
benefits under a federal act, bar
gained with the original trustees
for an equity in the buildings an,
grounds Of Delaware College. II
return the original board was #
retain the right Of naming half tn
board Of trustees and it is hel,
that the State has no more author
ity to break that bargain with tn
old board than the latter woul,
have to break its agreement wit
the State.
The agreement reached by tn
joint committee on the essentia
items to be incorporated into
charter could be placed under 81
heads as follows:
, 1.-The board of trustees sha

consist of % elected or appointed
members and four eX-officio men,
bers. TWcnty-Onp of the members
Shall be recommended by the board
OF trustees Of the college and the
other seven shall be recommended
by the Governor, all Of these -
members to be confirmed iudivid-
ually by the State Senate and the
terms to be for life. The ex-officio
members shall be the Governor,
President Of the State Board Of
Education; member to be elected
by the State Grange who shall be-
skilled in agriculture and a men,
ber to be elected by the Whining
ton Board Of Trade who shall be
skilled in the mechanic arts.
! 2-Upon the passage of this
charter the original board Of trus-
tees shall deed its equity in the col
lege to the State.
3-AlI the accounts Of Della
ware College shall be audited by
the State Auditor and by him Ger
tilted to the State and National
Governments
r A report shall be published
annually by the college. which
shall contain the President S report
and the financial report.
5-The college shall be open to
women as soon as provisions shall
have been made for their accomOda-
tons.
6-Delaware College is at the
head of the State public school sys-
TEN and as such shall articulate
with the public schools in manner
to be devised by the State Board
of Education and the Faculty of
Delaware College.
The two committees that reached
these agreements at a recent con-
ference consists of DR.. George W.
Twitmyer, of Wilmington, and
Professor Harry Hayward of New
ark, representing the State Board
Of Education, and Charles B..
Evans of Newark, j. Harry White
man and John Biggs Of Whining
ton, Samuel II. Derby of Woodside
and Samuel II. Messick of Bridge
vile, representing the Board of
Trustees. DR.. Twitmyer on be-
half Of the board Of education and
Mr.. Evans on behalf Of the trustees
were appointed a subcommittee to
incorporate the above items into q
charter that will be presented to the
two bodies for their approval. In
case they approve the draft, it is
felt that the General Assembly vii
pass the charter.

educated man wear-properly, of
cOurse-a jumper and overalls? I?
To-day. yes. The answer is mani
fest. Industry is triumphant
Still the public schools are con
demned as being inefficient. The
American nation, born in blood and
toll principally wood-chopping-
is being effeminated, critics declare,
by its methods of primary in
struction. Youths, they complain,
want to be clerks, whereas they
should be carpenters and plumbers.
Maidens are lured away from the
household. woman s kingdom, and
into stores and offices. Spelling, so
runs the Indictment, is an art quite
forgotten. Serious complaints If
justified. but wholly groundless.
"To-day talk is subordinated to
action. Lawyers have become less
fluent. Sermons have been cut
from an hour to twenty minutes
Editors print more news and less
editorial. The sOiled shirt is the
symbol of service. The spirit OF the
age is revolutiOnizing our high
schools. Mechanics are not being
spoiled any more to make book
keepers and real estate agents, ano
the wives of next year are learning
to cook. bake, and keep house.

The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1912-05-21

Another big feature is the monkey
hippodrome which was here several
weeks ago. There were many re-
quests from Miles patrons for re-
turn engagement of the hippcdromo
and the act seems TO be just little
better than before. There are sew
eral new features which serve 20 dis
play the remarkable training OF the
monkeys.
The management considers itcelf
very fortunate in having induced May
Ward TO come direct from New York
for special engagement for the
week. The young woman is a blonde
OF the peaches and cream" type,
plump and baby-like, which has won
her the title OF The Dresden Doll
coincidence She wears her beauu
full gowns in sprightly fashion and
captivates the audience with her sing
ing and interesting mannerisms.
The playlet of the program Is pre-
sented by Mr. and Mrs. Roy Edstrom.
il is entitled, THE Paperhanger" and
depicts in a farcical way how Tom
Opedyke squares" himself with his
better half when the latter sees in a
newspaper a snapshot on the sea-
shore, the same being of Tom Opedyke
and another woman. BY a clever bit
of acting, Tom impersonates the pa
perhanger," and persuades Mrs. Opc-
dixie that the paperhanger Is Ope-
dykes double and the man whose pic
ture was taken.
Carew and West, two winsome
maidens, sing and dance very enter
tainingly. The young ladies have re-
Gently been receiving some love Looms
from ardent admirers who have OBJ
served their charms across the foot
lights. The letters are excusable.
The Watermelon Trust" is trust
that shouldn't be busted" THAI
word watermelon" gives one an
inkling as to the real color OF the two
young women and men included Ill the
trust. They have some novel dances
and their songs are good.
The audience was treated 10 an
extra number Monday afternoon when
a sweet, young Detroit miss demon
strated how she could whistle. This
was not the least entertaining feature
on the bill, and she will probably be
heard again.
The moving picture exhibition In
cludes good views of the Titanic leav-
ing Europe for her first and last voy'
age There are other good features OF
the exhibition.
