Uni of Nebraska
Will Not Establish
Journalism School

Lincoln, Dec. 25.-(Special. 1.-The
petition for the establishment Of a
college of journalism in the Univer-
sity of Nebraska was rejected by the
senate of the school at meeting
yesterday, but motion to enlarge
the courses in newspaper training
was passed.
Sigma Delta Chi, the journalistic
fraternity, filed the petition for the
department with the board of regents,
which in turn referred it to the SEN
ate--composed OF faculty members of
the university.
A committee headed by Dean Stout
of the engineering college, and gen.
orally hostile to the proposed depart
ment, was named to investigate and
report its findings. This committee
held its meetings while the students
we're out of town and those most in
terested in the new department, who
had gathered the material in support
Of the application for new depart
ment, could not appear.
While smothering the application
for a college of journalism, a motion
made by Prof. H. X. Wolfe carried
with little opposition to enlarge the
newspaper courses now being given
at the university.

NEWSIES FEED AND
CHEER FOR BRANDEIS
Little Merchants Guests of Big
Store Manager at a Christ
mas Banquet.
SPREAD FILLS THE BILL

What dey tryin' to do, ruin u"
These words, by grimy little street
merchant, epitomizes opinion among
the 200 "newsies" present at the news
boys Christmas feed, provided by
George Brandeis yesterday noon at
the Hotel Rome.
No after dinner speeches and caba-
ret stunts were necessary to make that
dinner palatable. And no sparate
courses with extra rounds of cock
tails were needed to whet up jaded
appetites. 1t was a clean victory for
good digestion over appetite.
A big plate heaped up with turkey,
potatoes and trimmin's; a steaming
cup of chocolate, two kinds of fruit,
ice cream, cake and candy greeted
each separate appetite and caused the
street merchants to forget all about
their "wuxtry papurs,"
Too Much for Him.
1t was when some of the "newsies"
had finished their first 'rastle with
Mr.. Christmas Turkey and saw what
was yet to come that one of the little
urchins made the exclamation What
dey tryin' to do. ruin u.s."
All ages from 10 to 43 and all ma
tionalities and races were represented,
for age. nationality and race counts
for little in the freemasonry of the
streets. A few were there with
pinched white faces, but these were
in contrast with the wind-reddened
countenances of most OF the new
sizes"
As the street merchants" had
eaten their fill, one of them rose to
his feet: Say, fellers, what's the mat
ter with George Brandeis," he
shouted, three cheers for George
Brandeis."
Cheers for the Host.
The cheers that followed were with
out doubt the 1oudest that were ever
heard in the large dining room. In
fact, they were SO ear-splitting that
many of the guests of the hotel rushed
into the room to see what was going
on.
An appreciation of thanks in the
way of a large bouquet Of the reddest
roses the "newsies" could find in the
city, was sent to Mr.. Brandeis.
Newsboys present were in charge
of Mike Barto of The Bee, Tony Cos
tanzo of the Herald and Sam Zigman
of the News. Others present were

Rome Miller.

tFrom a staff Correspondent

Lincoln, Dec. 25.-(Special. Put
ting state funds up at auction for
banks to bid Off is a plan recon-
mended by State Treasurer George
Hall in his report to the governor
for the closing biennium. Mr.. Hall
would have banks bid for the funds
and let them, out to the highest bid
der, instead Of allowing the state
treasurer to place the funds as now
wherever he pleases at per cent in
terest. 4-.
He would also prohibit depart
ments of the state from using fees for
the support OF their Offices and
would have these fees turned over
to the general fund and the legisla-
turc make all appropriations for sal
aries and expenses. He would also
repeal the law making the state treas
urer a fiscal agent for the handling
Of county and other bonds. He will
require $4,000 for the next two years
to pay salaries in his Office as against
$500 for the last two years.
Speaking OF the condition of the
state treasury and its history for the
last two years, the report says:

IOWA MERCHANTS
REPORT Big TRADE
Des Moines Dealers Say Rush
Greatest on Record and
Stocks Are Sold Out.
GUARDS WON'T REiNL1sT

From a staff Correspondent.)
Des MONIES, Ia, Dec. 2S.-(Special.)
Merchants here report the biggest
holiday trade in their history. The
rush started soon after Thanksgiving
and the last week was unprecedented.
Merchandise stocks in many lines
were reduced by the onslaught. The
high price of living did not appar-
emily cut much figure in Christmas
trade, Express companies, however,
report that they did not carry near
the number OF Christmas packages
they did year ago. On the other
hand the parcel post did tremendous
business. 1t is said more people are
educated to use the parcel post than
a year ago.
Mayor Buys Coal.
Mayor MacVicar went into the
coal business on Saturday and bought
two carloads of coal, which he will
sell out at $3.50 per ton, which is
so cents under the regular retail
price here. He will attempt to sell
to people Of small means, and not
more than load to buyer, so that
the coal will go where it is most
needed. The mayor said Saturday
that he believed sufficient coal would
be provided through the charitable
organizations and the efforts OF the
city officials to prevent any real SUI
fering or hardship, Warmer weather
Saturday relieved the strain some
what, but colder weather is promised
for the coming week.
Guards Won't Re-enlist.
An attempt to poll the Iowa Ma
tional Guard members, part OF the
First regiment, who reached Des
MONIES Friday night, as to whether
or not they will take the new oath
Of enlistment with the army and con-
tinue their services for another three
years, resulted in showing that 80 per
cent at least tof the Guard members
will not re-enlist. Officers stopped
the poll as soon as they became aware
it was being taken. 1t is claimed that
the officers are in favor of re-enlisf-
ments, as they get good pay, some
of them better pay than they make
in civil life, and live we'll. But the
privates are not in favor OF re-en-
listing
Raps Federal Courts.
Attorney General George Cosson
takes rap at the Iowa supreme
court for holding a number Of the
statutes unconstitutional, in an argu-
ment he has filed with the United
States supreme court on the steriliza-
ton law. The law was held uncon-
stitutional and an injunction granted
from putting it into effect on de-
fectives in state institutions. In his
argument he declares that "it is a
conservative statement OF fact that
almost every law looking toward So
cial and moral reform which has been
passed by several states in the union
in the last decade has been held TN
constitutional by some inferior fed
eral or state court"
