The smoke became dense, obscuring the Punjaubis who stood ready to stoke the fire- the flames grew larger, bigger, and In a very short . time the white-robed corpse that had been laid on the ghat was a charred thing, partly seen In the flames which enshrouded It. Slowly the thing disappeared, the pyre sank lower, and, as twilight came, a band of turbaned men raked among the charred embers, gathering up a few ashes of the dead.

Objectlonal Wording Prepared by Attorney-General Altered by Or der of Judge Galloway. SALEM, Or., Jan. 30. (Special.) Circuit Judge William Galloway today decided the 'question of the ballot title for the University of Oregon appro priation bill by ordering that the title of the act be adopted as a ballot title. Attorney-General Crawford had pre pared a ballot title which described the bill as one to Increase the annual ap propriation fron $47,500 to $125,000. Friends of the bill protested and asked that the title be changed to read "fixing" the annual appropria tion for the university at $25,000, mak ing no mention of former' appropria tions. The question was argued before Judge Galloway, Who held that neither title Is fair. That prepared by the Attorney-General he found objectionable because it mentions $47,500 as the for mer appropriation, whereas the Insti tution had been getting about $80,000. That proposed by friends of the bill was objectionable because It contained the word "fixing," whereas the amount is not "fixed," but any Legislature can change it. The title of the act, which Judge Galloway has ordered used, de scribes the measure as one to amend section 2529 of Bellinger & Cottoa's an notated laws by Increasing the annual appropriation for the support and maintenance of the University of Ore gon. Judge Galloway's decision 1b satis factory to both sides of the controver sy. Walter Winslow, who brought the proceeding on behalf of the university, and M. E. Pogue, attorney for the Grangers who filed the referendum pe titions, say that the title adopted meets 'their approval. The decision is regarded as a victory for the uni versity.
