After three years of continuous work,
DR.. Robert Ridgway of the Smithsonian

yesterday was confirmed by experts
after a further examination. The pic
ture bears the seals of the Louvre and
other galleries in which it has been
hung, while traces of repairs on the

The prisoner, under further interro-
cation Of the police, reiterated his
story of having stolen the picture as a
pact in patriotic vengeance for Ma
poleon's ,depredations in Italy. He dis
played the utmost indignation at his
treatment by the police, declaring 1t
unjust. after the risks he had run for
patriotic sentiment. "A number of
prominent Italians have written the
officials to permit the picture to be
placed on exhibition in Florence, its
former home, before returning it to

bought the property, and have come
to live thereon with full knowledge of
the existence Of the gas plant in close
proximity to their respective dwell

have had the common knowledge Of
the people generally with reference to
the trend of business in this city,
and the limitations existing with ref
a purely residential district out of the

Section 6641 of our statute defines a
nuisance to consist "in ~unlawfully do
ing an act or emitting to perform a
duty, which act or omission annoys,
Injuries or endangers the comfort, re-
pose. health or safety of Others" II
1t may be conceded that the plaintiffs
in this action r to a. certain extent
annoyed, the court is confronted,
under the language of our statute,
with a determination Of the question
whether such annoyance Is unlawful.
If the court can say as a matter or
law that a gas plant is a nuisance per
Sc, then it would be unlawful, and the
plaintiffs must prevail. i know Of no
authority which holds that a gas plant
necessarily is a nuisance. Many have
held that the In which it was
conducted has rendered gas plant
a nuisance in a particular instance.
It will be apparent, therefore, that
each case must be decided upon it's
own facts. Our supreme court In the
case Of .Teinen VS.. Lally, 10 n. D., l53,
held that the question OF nuisance or
TO nuisance is always a question Of
fact
One is almost staggered when at
tempting to read the hundreds of deci-
sions found throughout all the books
upon this question. I have real many
of the cases, and have tried to dis
cover what the authorities hold con-
stitutes an annoyance or injury, or en-
dangers the comfort, repose, health, or
safety of others. Clearly, it cannot
be every slight Inconvenience or annoy
ance. because if that was the case it
would hi impossible for people to live
together in cities. Just where to
draw the line is the question.

three weeks ago, when 1 decided to re-
new my formr resignation.
II do not think it necessary to go
into details concerning the definite
reasons for my act. It seemed in diff
ferent conferences that that was the
best thing to do. That Is ALL"
HAS there been any jar or dis
agreement between me and Mr.. Han
sci? Decidedly not" said DR.. Creegan.
ut was I who found Mr.. Hansel in
the. first place. I correspondent with
him personally. I arranged for his
coming to Fargo college, and I knew
that the time would soon be opportune
when 1 should lay aside a truly crush
ing burden. It was a choice Of whether
to continue a struggle for which I
felt unequal or to surrender. So I
have made that choice deliberately,
and once for all.
TN regard to the trustees, I have
nothing but good feeling and best
wishes for them all.

are as good as any in the world.
"There is no better faculty to be
found in an American school Of this
type and size. than the one I am
leaving. The student body can be
compared to any in the world
In conclusion DR. Creegan said: 81
hope 1 have made myself clear. My
work in Fargo and North Dakota has
indeed been a delight. I strongly
believe this new movement, this
awakening of the trustees and citi-
zens, will result in great things for

we should return 100 years from now,
I am sure it would still be here, big
ger and better"
Without doubt DR.. Creegan has built
up a strong internal policy at Fargo
| college. Under his administration
many. departments have started, and
wonderful gain made in attendance,
efficiency and spirit. He has been
with the school for four years. Only
four of the faculty have preceded him
in service, DR.. Stratton, Miss Perley,
Miss True, and Professor Wanner,
Brown came at the same time. The
rest Of the faculty have been secured
through DR.. Creegan's fundamentally.
In the conservatory all except one
have come since. his inauguration.
There have been rapid changes
made in the last four years. Only
thirteen students now in attendance
preceded DR.. Creegan in time Of at
tendance. .-. ~,
The returning president brought

from Chicago, and from Melvin Hill

in the committee in resolutions.
At the same time he secured the $5,-
