Expect Dismiss-al Proposed Ap

STANFORD VNIVKRSHTY. March 20.
-.Mm and womm on the campus were
Mtaggercd thin morning by the absolute
refusal of tho faculty committee on stu
riont body affairs to make any conces
sions in view of the apolnjry that was
fmtheomin- lat nilit. The committee
announces that ft will neither reinstate
the 12 men who were suspended nor dia
continue the hrarins of the lid students
who volunteered their names as par
ticipants in the disturbance which caused
fh descent of the faculty
Refuses to Reconsider.
A notice wa posted in front of the
presidents office this morning to the
effect that the committee thanked the
student body for its expression of rejrret
In connection with the parade, but saw
no reason for reconsidering the suspen
sion of the 12 men who were suspended,
or discontinuing the hearing of the
others who have admitted an equal cul
pability. Examination of these is con
tinuing at the rate of about 2o an hour.
The invent iga tion will probably extend
till tomorrow noon.
In ordrr to prevent any hasty action
of the students ns a result of the com
mittee's refusal to consider the apolosy
offered this morning as sufficient grounds
for reconsideration of the original 12,
President Murphy will not call a student
body meeting and ha issued a statement
asking the men to refrain from any ac
tion until the final decision of the com
mittee i announced.
Will IimK All Rioters.
The committee gives no inkling as tn
what Its action will be. but the general
opinion seems to be that the entire num
ber of petitioners will be dismissed. By
their apology the students consider that
they have made all possible amends and
in case any drastic action is taken by
the committee, the sentiment is in favor
of a fight to the finish.
Harold Fitch, editor of the College
Dally, tonight reiterated his stand that
the students have not been fairly dealt
with and have right on their side in the
demand for reconsideration which, should
be fought out to the finish. He states
that the situation is now so acute that It
is the duty of the alumni to step in and
attempt to settle the affair.
What Apology Say.
The formal a ology reads as fol
lows: "The Associated Students of
Stanford University realize that cer
tain things- occurred in the parade last
Thursday night which are causes for
sincere regret. We wish to condemn
most strongly the Insults that were of
fered to any individual and to express
our sincere regret that the same were
offered. We wish to condemn as a
breach of university discipline the ac
tion of the men engaged in the parade
in invading the library and memorial
court. These things were done without
malice or evil intent and are abso
lutely contrary to the saner judgment
of the student body."
At an early date. It is said tonight,
the alumni, at the request of the un
dergraduates, will begin an investiga
tion of the present controversy at the
university.
KEEP THEM GUESSING
(Continued Krom Flri rage.)
the Union today. Hearst has an organ
ization in seven, namely. New York,
New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island. Illinois, Indiana and California.
"Seven aeem a very small propor
tion of 46, but can you consider any
possible way that the Democracy can
win without at least five of the seven
states where the Hearst forces are con
centrating their efforts? I do not know
whom 1 1 ear t will name for President,
nor do I care. He expects to demon
strate that he would have been In a
position to defeat the Republican nom
inee, and T think that the figures can
he juggled. ?o that he will seem to have
pro en his case.
Third Party Strongest Alone.
"There Is one fact, however, which
will be overlooked by many politician.
A third party la always stronger when
It mind aione than when it fuse with
one of the older organizations. When
Hearst ran for Governor in 1306 as a
fusion candidate, he received 18.000
votes under the emblem of the Inde
pendence League. A year later, when
hla nomlneea for judges of the Court
of Appeala atood up alone to be count
ed, they polled 130,000 vote.
"If Hearat Indorsee tha Republican
nominee, for Freaident he would lose
liia Democratic following. Should he
indorse the Democrat, the Republican
Hei-st men would drop out of the
ranks. But stand'ng alone, he would
probabty keep the bulk of his follow
ers, while discontented regular party
men from both sides would probably
swell the total. Hearst 1 playing a
'mfghty good game in going it alone.
It is cheaper, and also far more satis
factory, I believe."
In line with this view the New Tork
World prints nn article under scare
readlines reading: "Signs of Fusion
Vtetweeo Hearst and Watson." It might
be remarked that this story, which the
World treats an an entirely new de
velopment in the political situation,
was printed in The Orronian several
months ago, and at the present time
it stiil aeems to he a good summary
of the situation:
World Saya "Hearst and Watson."
The World' article, which appears
as a special from Washington, is as
follows:
A fusion of the oM Populia ami new lnd
ptndenc parti, the on headed by Tbom&a
BJ. Watton, of Georgia, and the ether by
William R. Hearst, of New Tork. Democratic
I'oniitnmcB from the West and South learn
will be actually effected before many weeks
elates, and the fusion ticket probably will be
Wrt aiwt Waiewa.
1 1 im poln ted o-ui by lh Onn are? smen
umt recently Heerwt formally declared that
hie Independence party weuld sot aupport
!Br an or Roosevelt or Johnson, but would
have a candidate of its own. About the ssm
i time Wataon. in his weekly JefTersonian pub
' lished at Atlanta, aivised the Populists to
support ceither Bryan nor Roosevelt, but to
put a candidate of their own in the fild.
That Watson' advice i being accepted
shown by the fact that the "Pops' of Kan
Ms. in ma.w rreetinc at Topeka. yesterday,
declined to indorse Bryan and passed reso
lutions favoring Wateun for the Presidency.
Recent occurrences' m Georgia are believed
to lieve wean-ed Watson completely from the
Democratic party. In the late Gubernatorial
lampaign he supported Hoke Smith for Gov
ernor, but since the election . personal and
political differences have caused him to with
draw from the Imocracy and he is now re-
rarrl?d an one of fiovprnor Sni ith moet
active and imolacable nlitical enemies'.
While Democratic Congressmen from the
South and West, particularly the South, be
lieve that Hearst and Watson have a fusion
compact, none cares to talk for publication.
They believe that Waunn'a influence is still
more or Jess potent in many section?, and
they io not care to challencf his wrath.
Watson was the - Populist candidate for
President in 1904. and polled 117. IS:; vote?.
In lSfl he was the PopuIItt candidate for
the Vice-Presidency on the ticket with Bryan,
who .wa the Fusion candidate of the Demo
crats and the Populist for President.
While I do not believe that a fusion ticket
of Hearst and Watson or Watson and Hearst
would poll over 300.0110 votes, said a Con
gressman today, "it le possible that the bulk
of these would come from a doubtful state
and weaken the Democratic candidate.
But !n the meantime the Hearst men
are happily declaring that "we are
keeping them gues&ing."
Still It can be set down as a cer
tainty that-the activities of the New
National Party will be confined to the
j&evvn states that are mentioned above.
Oh, happy, happy Oregon!

Lilley Quotes Admirals Against
Submarine Men.
IMMENSE PROFIT PAID!
Government Paid $285,000 Each for
Boats Worth atMost $100,000.
. Lake Company Asked a
Moderate Price.
WASHINGTON. March 20. In support
of his assertion that more than Jl.0o0.000
of unnecessary profit had been paid by
the United States Government to the
Klectric Boat Company in the purchase
of submarine torpedoboats and that simi
lar high profits were contemplated in
pending contracts proposed to be award
ed to that company. Representative
Lilley, of Connecticut, bas prepared for
submission to the special marine investi
gating committee of the House certain
statements, comparisons and conclusions.
The statements include extracts from
the evidence before the House 'naval af
fairs committee in 1P01 and 1302. wheu
Rear-Admirals Melville. O'Neill and
Bowles were examined as to the cost of
the construction of submarine boats.
Admiral O'Neill snid that from his own
observation he thought $100,000 each
would be a very liberal price for the
Holland boats, the contracts of which
Mr. l.illcy complains call for a purchase
price of $153,000 per boat.
Real Value of Boats.
Admiral Melville testified that the prob
able coit of the manufacture of a Holland
boat was between $50,000 and $70,000. This
statement was made in 1901, when the
Holland was 54 feet long and it was pro
posed to increase this length to SO feet.
These new boats, said Admiral Melville,
would have a greater storage battery,
and would naturally cost more money,
probably as much as ?90.000.
Admiral Bowles explained that the de
partment had estimated $125,000 per boat
as a proper appropriation on acconut Of
the probable cost of conducting experi
ments to satisfy the department of the ef
ficiency of the boats before acceptance.
In a note accompanying these quotations
Mr. Lilley says:
At the time Rear-Admiral Bowles made
the foregoine statements he was 'Chief, of
the Bureau of Construction and Repairs of
the Navy Department, and necessarllv had
murh to do with the construction of craft
of thia character.
Profit Over $1,500,000.
Continuing. Mr. Lilley says:
Therefore, in basing calculation; upon the
figures of Admiral Bowis, which he says
would give a handsome profit to the build
era of the Holland boats namely $80,459
for a Ul-tou boat or $745.45 jer ton It
wlil readily be sen by comparative state
ments that there has been an extra hand
some proilt of $1,019,738 since the United
States contracted for the first Holland boat,
the Plunger, in March. 18M9; and It will be
een that the excessive profits to be made
on the eight boais which It Is now proposed
to buy trom the Electric Boat Company
would be fl,4Tl,5'J0.
Lake's Price Nearer Right.
I submit a comparative statement of the
bids submitted by the Electric Boat Com
pany and the Lake Torpedo Boat Company
for tli constritotioii of submarines on Apri
'.'. 1907. from which It appears tb3 sub
marines to be constructed by the Klertric
Boat Company are o cost on an average
of about $3-0 per ton more than the prices
offered by the Lake Torpedo Boat Com
pany under guarantees required by the Navy
Department and subjected to the perform
ance prescribed prior to acceptance. By
this statement it will also be seen that the
lowest price of the Lake Torpedo Boat
Company is SS0( per ton. which approaches
very closely to the price given by Admiral
Bowles.
The foregoing facts and conditions in
fluenced ine to introduce House resolution
No. "-4. and it is believed that an official
statement of the facia therein asked for
would so a great way to disabuse Uie illu
sions in the minds o the Eiectric Boat
Company and their agents and representa
tives, technical and no n-technical, as to
the practical merits of the boats they claim
are so good.
Mr. Lilley concludes with the declara
tion that "these boats have been most
expensive implements of warfare without
rendering any practical value in return."

The children's laxative Cascarets.
Candy tablets, pleasant to take,
gentle in their effects. Throw
out the old-time physics.
Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the physic that mother insisted on once in a while
castor oil, salts or cathartics.
How you hated them. How you (ought against taking them.
How you dreaded their after-effects.
That was all wrong, but then nobody knew better.
With our children it's different.
They belong to the day of the gentle in medicine. The day
of harsh physics is over. .
We don't force the bowels now; we coax them.
We have no dreaded after-effects.
And the dose is a candy tablet. "
Mothers who cling to the old form of .physic simply don't
know what they do.
The children's revolt is well-founded.
Their tender bowels are harmed by them.
The modern way is to give a gentle laxative, and to give it
more frequently. To keep the bowels always active.
The best method is Cascarets. One-half a tablet, as often as
needed, does more than anything else to keep a child well.
Cascarets are candy tablets. They are sold by all druggists,
but never in bulk. Be sure you get the genuine, with C C C on
every tablet The price is 50c" 25c and
