John W. Hansel, who was recently
invited to Fargo to become financial
secretary of Fargo college and vice
president of the board Of trustees of
that institution, was yesterday chosen
acting president Of the, college on the
hill to temporarily fill the place made
vacant by the resignation Of Rev.
Charles c. Creegan. d. D.
The upbuilding Of Fargo on a per-
manent financial basis will be the
task of Acting President Hansel dur
constructive and financial work, Mr..
Hansel has had wide experience for
the last couple of decades and the
board realizes that it has obtained the
service of a capable man in this direc-
ton, one who Is capable Of coping
with the financial problems Of Fargo
college.
Fargo college, as an institution, has
a big property asset amounting to
something. like $250,000 in round
figures. For the last ten years this
has been used in various manners to
meet any financial demands that may
have been made on the school in order
to maintain it's current expenditures.
The overhead expense Of the insti-
tuition has been thought to be high
and concerning this Mr.. Hansel will
give his attention. Every effort will
be made to place the school on a
strictly business basis SO that the
city, of Fargo will have something to
which it can point with much pride
as an institution that will be credit
in every sense to the city.
AS business proposition, the city
of Fargo could i'll afford to lose Fargo
college, for it brings to the city a
large number of students who make
their homes here nine months out OF
the year, which means a steady pat
houses. Everything In the city profits
by having the college here, so that
from business standpoint alone 1t
means a great deal to Fargo
Acting President Hansel is opposed
to 1isposing of any of the property
belonging to the college, which
amounts to three blocks Of beautiful
These he would preserve for the
growth and development of the insti-
tuition, but he would perfect a scheme
of raising finances, which met. with
the approval of the board yesterday.
a committee was named to work out
his suggestion
President Hansel for several years
was secretary of the Y. M. G. A. at
st. Joseph, Mo-, where he built the
first association building that was
erected west Of the Mississippi river
with the exception of the nrst one
at San Francisco. Later he went to
Kansas City where he built the as
sociation building.
President HanseI then founded the
" M. G. A. training school at Chica-
go and the Y. M. c. A. summer school
at Lake Geneva, of which he was
president for twenty years Three
years ago he went to reside in one
of the gulf cities. where he was living
when persuaded to come to Fargo to
assist In the disentanglenient Of Fargo
colleges financial affairs.
The affairs of Fargo college are not
in a very bad shape and can be easily
remedied with little study and care
which lit; is hoped President HanseI
will be instrumental in bringing

.NIXEDBLOOD CASE
APPEAL PLANNED
GOVERNMENT WILL ASK SPEEDY
HEARING AND DECISION BY
SUPREME COURT.

Washington, Nov. 29.-The depart
ment Of justice had decided to take an
appeal to the United States supreme
court from the recent decision of the
court of appeals in the White Earth
land cases. Assistant Atty. Gen.
Ernest Knaebel, who Is in charge Of
the cases here, said that the ap-
peal would be docketed in supreme
court shortly and following that he
would submit motion to advance the
cases for early hearing. At the de-
partment little doubt Is expressed that
the court will grant the motion to ad-
vance the cases, as they are Of great
Importance, not only to Minnesota but
to the entire Indian country and that
they will be disposed of before the
end of the present term next June.
The term mixed blood" as car
ried in the C1app law, has never been
defined by the supreme court, and the
department Of justice wants to get
the courts definition, as it will govern
dealings not only with the White
Earth Indians but also members of
other tribes. The department is not
willing to accept the literal construc-
peals, that mixed blood Is an Indian
having the smallest trace of white
blood.
The department contends that the
term should be construed according to
the generally accepted meaning, that
is, mixed blood is an Indian having
certain quantum of white blood.
None of the department officials Is
willing to say whether the limit should
be one-eishth or one-quarter of white
blood

A great crowd on the Boboken docks

Wilson, accompanied by Miss Flea

Washington, Nov. 29-Financial af-

topic of discussion at the forty-f1 fifth
annual convention Of the association
which began here today in connection
with the sessions Of the National Col
lege Womans' Suffrage association
and the Suffrage School to be conduct
ed by the Congressional union.
The associations financial affairs
will be brought formally to the atten-
tion Of the convention on Tuesday
when a. committee will present an
amendment to the constitution to pro-
vide an additional tax upon the bud

already are taxed 10 cents annually
for the support of the national body.
Most Of the 500 accredited delegates
to the convention have arrived. Many
alternates are here to attend. 1t is
estimated more than 1000 accredited
delegates and alternates will attend
the sessions.
The formal meetings Of the conven-
ton will not begin until Monday. s-.s,.
Addresses Of welcome and the re-
sponses are to be followed by cele-
~ dtAp1l VI Il6 suffrage f4CIoEy III lll1-
nois. Then will come an address on
the Federal Suffrage Amendment and
the annual addres of the. associations
president, DR.. Anna Howard Shaw.
The first real business session be-
gins Tuesday morning with the pre-
sentation Of the report Of the commit
tee that framed the financial amend
ment to the associations constitution.
Already there have been expressed a
variety OF opinions on the advisability
Of adopting the amendment, especially
among the membership of the larger
state organizations and the great in
dependent bodies which only with the
last year or two finally became anil
ated with the national association.
The independent bodies contend that
as they are large and collect large
sums for the advancement of the suf-
frage cause their tax for the support
OF the national body will be out OF
proportion. On the other hand the
national officers contend that the new
financial scheme is made necessary II
the national body Is to push forward
the campaign for universal suffrage In
this country. They declare that the
10 cent member tax is not commen-
surate with the dignity of the national
body nor the cause that it represents.
The independent bodies are power
full but according to the national Of
ficers their activities heretofore have
been Directed toward advancing the
cause In their respective localities.
One of these Is the Congressional TN
ion Of Washington organized for the
advancement Of the federal constitu-
tional amendment through congress.
Another is the Womans Political TN
ion Of New York. Both have large
budgets and under the proposed new
fiscal plan they would be taxed heav-
lily to support the national organiza-
tion.
Another subject to be fought out on
the floor of the convention will be the
removal Of the national headquarters
from New York to Washington. That
question, however, is one that arises
lat each annual convention and there
fore will not command the attention

| $4,000 to do the same work as the
plant does for about $S. These figures
are called to attention to show the
marked efficiency of lime softening as
compared with the soap method and
not as comparison Of actual value to
the consumer
AS before mentioned at least one
gallon Of water for each consumer
must be, and is, softened and most
authorities place 1t higher than one
gallon. One gallon per capita per day
means about 10000 gallons per day for
the city. The cost Of doing this by
soap to the same degree as is now done
by the lime process Is about $32: To
summarize, the saving to the water
consumer, at the present rate of con-
sumption is as follows:
By lime process softening on the
average 100000 of water at
80 ........ .S1S. 40
BY soap softening $1,000 gallons
or water ........ 81. .O0
This analysis shows a saving To
the consumer of 1880 in soap bills
alone. a~so
However, the amount Of water
softened by the lime process at the
plant will be reduced by the instalIa-
tion of meters. and under this system
the consumption, and therefore, the
amount softened, will most probably
not exceed 100000 gallons per. day.
The amount of water required to be
softened by soap would not change
and the saving therefor would be
about as follows:
Cost of softening by soap 10000
gallons per day .......... $500
Softening by lime 100000 gal
Saving in actual cost to the

Berlin, Nov. 29.-Prince Bernhard
Won BueloW, former German imperial
chancellor, has abandoned the silence
which once he declared he would
maintain until death. He does this in
order to warn his countrymen that An
inveterate hostility to Germany is the
soul Of the French policy. This, he
declares, will continue 50 long as
Frenchmen have the slightest hope of
regaininp Alsace-Lorraine by her own
efforts or with outside assistance,
These convictions were expressed in a
review of politics published this
morning.
In pointing out the folly Of ignor-
ing this inbred hostility of the French
or Of attempting to arrange German
relations with France on any other
basis, Won Buelow said:
ut is idle to hope for a. reconciIia-
ton with France without restoring
the provinces of AIsace- Lorraine.
The French determination to attack
Germany whenever there is prospect
of success must continue to be a fac
tor Of the calculations ef statesmen,
Germany should not chase fantasies
nor aspire to overcome Frances in
