Portland Reports.
SITUATION IN ATHLETICS
Denies Matter of Disseminating Up and
Gives High Praise to Faculty as 1t
Stands in Report.

President Homan has returned to the
city from Portland, where he attended
the semi.annual meeting of the board
of trustees Of the local university.
He expressed himself as being much
displeased with the reports appearing
in the Portland papers to the effect
that the committee was considering the
advisability Of disseminating the law
school. He says he does not expect any
action Of that kind for some time to
come.
He denies the report that the board
turned the matter of discontipuing ath.
letics over to a committee. The board
did not consider the matter. His re-.
port to the board follows
Willamette University is now in
the most prosperous condition Of its
history. Throughout the United States
it is accepted as standard institution
and qualification is expressed en- every
hand concerning the splendid finan.
eial condition Of the institution.
"Our work is not held in question,
but is given high scholastic rank by
great institutions. On last Saturday a
student writing from Stanford univer.
sity said that his work had been ac.
cepted from Willamette university
while the work Of student from Pa.
cific university, Of this state, and Of
student from the University Of Cal.
ifornia were not given full credit until
after these two students had demon
strated their ability in the classroom
This is surely matter Of great graft
! fication. It is not strange therefore
that this former student Of Willamette
should say that cold Willamette is
still the greatest college"

IL was assumed that Chase acted by
virtue Of the supreme courts decision
upholding the arrest, under similar cir
cumstances Of Charles II. Meyer, the
miners leader, during the strike ten
years ago. Hawkins asked that this dc,
cision be now set aside, and that the
dissenting oponon by Justice George
Steele, who differed from the rest Of
the court concerning the Meyer case,
bo substituted for it.
osgood Says He Was Ignored.

International Smelling & Refining
Company stockholders, who own the
Raritan Copper Works in this city,
have been called together for a
special meeting to be held Tuesday
to determine whether a sale and
transfer Of all properties, business.
assets and rights Of the company

terms and conditions such sale shall
be made, If authorized. Stockhold-
ers will also be asked to vote
whether or not the company shall be
dissolved and business and affairs
settled up and adjusted and distri-
button made to its stockholders.
AS stated recently, arrangements
have been made, subject to confirma-
ton by the respective stockholders,
Tor the purchase by the Anaconda
concern of all properties, including
the Raritan plant here, of the Inter
national company. The stockholders
of the latter concern are to get 3 8
shares of Anaconda for each share of
International, plus dividend of So
per share, the latter being the usual
International dividend for the first
quarter of the year.
The holding company of the Rari-
tan works is capitalized at $1O,O0O,-
600, ie., 100000 shares Of 500
each. The stock was issued at par,
but has since been selling at about
$11O at lis. Dividends at the rate
OF eight per cent, or 100000 a
year, have been paid. The Anaconda
company has an authorized issue OF
100000 shares at s25 each, OF
which 4,332,5 have been issued.
In order to buy the International
company, 100000 additional shares
must be issued. The principal stock
holder of the International Is the
Amalgamated Copper Company,
which owns forty-three per cent of
the stock

GUT W|NDP|PE Of
CHOKING CHILD
Infants Life is Saved Only by
This Operation.

Only by means of a difficult
surgical operation the life of little
Eta Babalog was saved yesterday
afternoon after she had swallowed a
raw bean which lodged in the wind
pipe and threatened to choke her to
death.
The little girl had been playing
with a number of companions in
front Of her home at 314 Goodwin
street, and knowing that her mother,
Mrs. Stanislaw Babalog, had beans
in the house she ran inside to get
some to play store" She took a
handful and when on the way out to
join her playmates placed one of the
beans in her mouth. The bean was
accidentally swallowed and lodged in
the windpipe. She Immediately be-
gan to cough and the mother, when
informed by the little girls play
mates, ran out and found the child
almost in an unconscious condition.
DR.. Charles |. Silk was hurriedly
summoned and upon his arrival
found the child in state of insensi-
bility, giving no signs OF life. Al
though he had with him only scant
accessories, DR.. Silk Immediately
commenced the difficult operation.

throat and inserting a rubber tube in
the windpipe. She began to show
signs of improvement after the oper-
alton and was taken to the city
hospital, where she was attended by
DR.. Silk and DR.. Ramsay. Although
she is now resting more easily, the
little patient, who is only three and
half years old, is considered to be
still in a precarious condition and
has not regained enough strength to
allow another operation for the pur-
pose of removing the bean.

Matawan, May 23:-Falling from
the New York & Long Branch rail-
road trestle, at this place, a height
of about sixty feet, Frank Carney,
a sixteenyear-old youth who was en-
gagged in assisting the construction
gang, sustained a concussion of the
brain yesterday afternoon and died
shortly after at the Perth Amboy
City Hospital, where he was taken
after the accident.
The youth, who is the son of Mrs.
Daniel Moran, of lower Main street,
was engaged in carrying water to the
workers when the accident occurred
He paid no heed to the approach OF
a southbound train until 1t was only
few yards away from him, and
when he hurriedly attempted to get
out of the way his foot slipped
through a crevice between the ties,
throwing him headlong over the edge
of the trestle to the meadows below.
The fellow workmen of Carney
hurriedly rushed off the trestle and
ran to the meadows below, where
they found the young man in an un-
conscious condition, a severe concus-
sion of the brain having been sus-
tanned. He was picked up by the
workmen and medical aid summon
ed. A number of physicians were
soon at the scene of the accident
but it was apparent that the injured
youth could not survive the fall. He
WAS taken to the Perth Amboy hos
pital and died at 6:30 o'clock
This accident, which is the first
catastrophe to occur on the new
trestle which is fast nearing compile
tion, has thrown a pail over the
workmen engaged in Its construction,
Carney being extremely popu-
lar with them. Funeral arrangements
have not yet been completed.

Charles Becker will undoubtedly

There is no set length of time be-
fore the court OF appeals hands
down its decision, and the length
depends largely on the tactics of
the lawyers. but II is a fair guess
that 1t will be year before she
court OF appeals makes known its
decision.
Tho important court dates of his
first trial may Indicate how long 1t
will be this time. Rosenthal was
killed July 16, 1912; Becker was ar
rested and indicted on July 20.
He was put on trial Oct. 7, 1912,
and was found guilty Oct, "a. 1t
took fourteen months before the
argument on his appeal was heard,
and 1t was two months later, or
Feb. "a, 1914, before the court Of ap-
peels made known Its decision.
So II took sixteen months to the
day for him to learn after his first
trial how the court of appeals re-
garded the law in his trial, and
there is no reason now why 1t
should not take just as long this
time.
