RANDOLPH MACON FIGHT
MAY GO INTO COURTS
Issue Over Trustees as Far
From Settlement as
Ever.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch TO Inc Star.
LYNCHBURG, Va, april 6.-The long
drawn-out fight over the control Of the
Randolph-Macon system OF schools and
colleges. which appears to have been set
tied by the Virginia and Baltimore con-
ferences Of the Methodist Church accept
ing the compromise offered by the trus-
tees Of the system. is just as far from
settlement today as 1t was three or four
years ago. when 1t was started.
That the fight soon will find its way
into the state courts seems probable, for
the minority of the board. which is OPP
posed to the conferences Of the church
confirming the nomination OF trustees,
has reached the point that it must resort
to litigation or give up the fight. For
this purpose the minority OF the board
has asked for called meeting OF the
entire board of trustees Of the system at
Ashland, and this, it Is understood here.
will be held before the close Of this
month.
Source of Controversy.
The controversy grew out Of the placing
of the Randolph-Macon Woman's College
here on the Carnegie foundation. For
several years the trustees refused point
blank to make any concessions to the two
conferences as to future elections to
membership in the board, but last sum-
mer a compromise was effected which
agreed to a change of the charter of the
system by which all elections to future
vacancies in the board should be refer
red to the two conferences separately for
ratification. This compromise has been
formally accepted by both conferences.
Now, as 1t has always been maintained.
the minority on the board claims the
board has no legal or moral right to
delegate this power without violating the
oath of trusteeship taken by each men,
Der when qualifying for membership on
the board. All of the lawyer members
of the board. excepting Judge r. W.
PeatrOss of Danville. take this view OF
the legal phase OF the matter, and 1t is
said Judge Peatross formerly did so.
Next Step in Case.
That the next step will be an applica-
ton for an injunction to restrain the
board Of trustees, from taking steps look
ing to the change Of it's charter or to
carry into effect the terms of the COM
promise is expected. Such action Is ex-
pected to take place at the session al
ready asked for by the minority.
The impression prevails among those
conversant with the fight that a suit
will be instituted in the Hanover circuit
court, owing to the fact that the home
Office of the board of trustees is located
as Ashland, in that county.
Judge E. D. Newman, president of the
board, who resides at Woodstock, is one
of the strongest men on the board against
any charter change.

The greatest dfscomfOrts of old age
are poor eyesight, deafness, lame back,
stiff, achy joints and urinary Ills.
Very often these troubles come from
a weakening Of the kidneys.
The kidneys have a heavy task dur
ing a long life of filtering the blood
and keeping the body free from the
Irritating effects of uric acid. Kidney
weakness usually gets little attention
and it is no wonder If the kidneys
break down.
And when the kidneys are sluggish
and weak, there IL little comfort.
Backache is likely to become a con-
slant trouble, lameness I'm the morn
ing, pains when STOPPING or lifting,
restlessness at night, too frequent and
painful passages of the kidney secre-
lions and persistent Ianguor.
Rheumatic pains, stiff Joints, dizzy
spells and weakness Of sight and hear
ing are often due to the excess Of uric
acid in the blood. So are gravel and
stone, dropsy dwellings of the limbs
and extremities, heart weakness.
Doan's Kidney Pills have proved q
great blessing to many old folks, when
taken for backache or to regulate
the action of the kidneys and help the
kidneys to keep tho blood pure.

CONGRESSIONAL T0GA
Former Conservation Official
Enters Race in Indian
apoIis District.


Thomas R. Shipp formerly general Sec
rotary of the National Conservation Asso-
citation, with headquarters in this city.
and well known as the assistant of Gift
ford Pinchot in his conservation work,
has announced his candidacy for member
Of Congress from the seventh Qndianapo-
lis) district of Indiana. He left Washing
ton several months ago to take up work
as secretary of the National Conservation
Congress different from the association
which holds annual meetings and has a
wide membership, with headquarters at
Indianapolis
In sending word Of his announcement to
friends in Washington Mr.. Shipp declares
that the prospects for his election are fine
and that he is in the race to stay. 1t is
understood that he will have the support
of both wings of the republican party in
Indiana, regulars and insurgents.
MIR. Ships platform. in part, is as fol-
lows:
Average Man His Standard.
Il believe firmly In progressive prin-
cples. not those of extreme radicalism,
but those which make for real progress.
They are right because they represent
the moral conscience of the average man.
The average man is the truest standard
of men, and measures this nation, as any
change in policy that affects our citizen
ship touches him first. To him these
changes do not mean simply increased or
decreased profits; they mean his daily
bread and his children's future. To rep
resent the average man is an important
trust, weighty resp onsibility and a Sc
rious obligation.
Il have come out on my own hook. 1
have the help of many good and loyal re-
publican friends. and expect to be nomi-
mated. am confident that the republicans
will reclaim this district next November"
Friends OF Mr.. Shipp in Washington
have sent letters and kilograms to him,
wishing him success and volunteering
help from this end of the line. He was
formerly newspaper reporter in Indian
apOlis.
