ty. For the betterment of the insti-
tuition few changes will be impera-
tive, but members of the faculty who
are doing satisfactory work are un-
der no circumstances to be disturb
ed.
The intention of the state board of
regents is to make the Agricultural
college what it should be, one of the
best agricultural colleges in the coun-
try.
The board will insist on con-
structive organization, the co-Ordina-
ton of all departments and hormon-
ious and efficient conduct of the col.
lege and station interests.
The state board of regents found,
when it assumed it's duties, July 8,
1915. that the former individual boards
of all institutions had made the ar
rangements for conducting the said
schools for the present scholastic
year.
1t was then too late for the board
to make changes, even had the men,
bers the necessary information.
The board decided against any
hasty action, preferring to proceed
conservatively and make changes on
ly after the most careful investiga-
tiOn and deliberati0n.
Under the provisions of the meas
ure creating the board, a survey COM
mission was secured, and the board

NAIL POUCHES ARE
ROBBED OF CURRENCY

New York, Feb. 28.-The robbery of
four valuable registered mail pack
ages in what appears to have been
an attempt to steal at least $1,O00,00O
in currency consigned to New York
banks, became known here today.
The robbery occurred Saturday
morning, when United States mail
automobile truck was entered while
It was on q ferry bound from the
Central station Of the New Jersey
Railroad station at Communipaw, N.
J., to Liberty street, New York.
The packages were stolen from
mail pouches, three of which were
from Washington and one from Baliti-
more.
Postoffice inspectors admitted that
other pouches containing currency
consigned to New York banks were
on the truck, and said that such con-
signments frequently ran as high as
$1,OO0.OOO, and more. 1t is believed
that this currency was the booty
sought.
According to unofficial reports. one
of the stolen Washington packages
contained $200,O0O.
The robbery, the inspectors said,
was done by someone who had keys
both to the mail truck and the pouch

Bismarck's advantages as a site for
the proposed half-million dollar pack
ing plant to be established by the
North Dakota Equity society are be-
ing considered today by committee
consisting of C. J. Lee of Valley City,
p. M. Casey of Lisbon and Anthony
Walton of Minot, who arrived in the
city yesterday.
Messrs Lee and Casey arrived at
noon yesterday and were entertained
at lunch at the club by Chairman NC
Donald of the club committee on in.
dustry and commerce. The afternoon
was devoted to a thorough discussion
Of the Equity plant and it was agreed
that the inspection of available sites
be left until this morning. Mr.. Wal
ton arrived from Minot last evening,
and the committee is now complete.
What Is Wanted.
The committee is here to obtain
information on the following points:
Land for plant and yards, etc.,
about 200 acres, with good drainage,
and the price at which the same will
be turned over to the organization.
Water mains to plant; approximate
cost of laying mains, and the price
that will be charged for water.
Electric line to plant and the price
of current.
Trackage to plant and the charge,
if any, for laying the same aud con.
Meeting with all railroads entering
the city.
Switching charges, if any, and how
such charges are made.
The amount of stock the city and
territory will subscribe toward the
establishment Of packing plant, II
located in this city.
Amount of stock city and territory
will subscribe, if plant is located else.
where.
What Equity Will Do.
The Equity proposes to establish
plant to cost $5O0,O00 to be built
as soon as sufficient stock is sub
scribed to warrant the commence.
ment Of the same; the corporation
to be organized on strict co-opera-
tive principles, for the benefit of both
producer and consumer, and for the
benefit of the whole state, with view
to assisting and promoting diversified
farming.
Fine Site Available.
Bismarck offers a splendid site for
such an industry in the level tract
south of the Northern Pacific tracks
and bordering the Missouri river. The
Northern Pacific already has a spur
track into this plot, and there is a
switching agreement with the 500.
Located here, the plant would be in
the heart of the great corn and pork
belt of the Missouri valley, and it
would have the benefit of excellent
transportation facilities by river, as
we'll as the Northern Pacific and its
several branches and the 500 Line.
There would be a decided advan-
tage in location on the bank of the
river, where sanitary conditions would
be ideal: where there would be an
opportunity to ice the cold storage

AS intimated by the Tribune last
week, DR.. J. II. Worst is no longer
president of the North Dakota Agri-
cultural college,.
DR.. E. F. Ladd, for more than a
quarter of century with the institu-
tion, Is now president.
DR.. Ladd was given the position
with the distinct understanding that
he would be retained as the head of
he State Pure Food commission and
of the department of chemistry at the
college, and would be permitted to
give his personal direction to this
work, and be granted whatever addi-
tional assistance would be required.
The dual system in vogue at the
Agricultural college during the past
two years has been abolished, and the
original plan of making the president
responsible head of the institution is
restored, an arrangement with which

WAITING PROOF
FROM GERMANY
Gerard Handed Instructions the
British Gave to Armed
!, NJ Merchantmen.
THESE MAY ALTER
STAND OF WILSON

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Germany, in
formal note presented by Count
Won Bernstorff to Secretary Lansing
today, reiterates assurances regard
ing the future conduct of submarine
warfare, given in the Lusitania case,
and declares those assurances have
not been modified by the memoran-
dunn setting forth its intention to
treat armed merchantmen of the En-
tente allies as auxiliary cruisers after
midnight tomorrow.
The note attempts to justify the is
suance of the latter memorandum by
presenting evidence and assertions
designed to prove that the British
government has instructed merchant
men to use their armament for pur-
poses OF attacks in violation Of as.
surances given to the United States.
Later it was said at the state de-
partment that, while the United
States stood unalterably for the right
of merchantship to carry guns for
defense, it was not now and never
had been contending that Americans
could travel with immunity on ships
having orders to act extensively.
Awaiting Facts.
1t was indicated that although Sec
retary Lansing was not prepared at
this time to accept, as conclusive,
the allegations of Germany in regard
to the confidential instructions claim
