THE MORNING OREGONIAN. THURSDAY, MARCH 26, , 1903. FORTY-ONE ARE IN -SUSPENDED LIST Student Affairs Committee at Stanford Makes Its Report. MANY OTHERS PENALIZED Added Graduation Requirements Im posed on More Than 160 Firtt and Second-Year Students. Discrimination Cry Raised. STANFORD VNIVERSTTY, Cal., March 25. Chairman Clark this aftrr nron announced the action of the student affairs committee regarding the students who participated in the recent disorderly parade on the campus. The cases of the 12 students at first-suspended were placed In the same category as the 242 who later petitioned for a hearing. Forty one students, all upper classmen, were suspended for the remainder of the sem ester for active participation in the whole parade. The second-year students have had 30 units added to their grad uation requirements. The freshmen had five units edded. All who participated actively In only a portion of the parade, except freshmen, have had five units added. There was no action In the case of those refusing to testify, those who signed the petition under duress and those who took only a minor part. The action has created considerable ex citement and a large crowd of students Is eagerly awaiting the distribution of the notices at the postoffice. Among the 41 suspended are" a large number of prominent athletes. It is too early " to tell what action the students will take, but the original issue of securing rein statement of the 12 students first sus pended Is still unsettled. The action of the student affairs com mittee has complicated the situation al most beyond comprehension. Seven of the original 13 are still suspended, 34 more were added, and a penalty of added graduation requirements was Im posed on over 150, while more than 80 who were also participants in the parade have suffered no penalty. This discrimi nation on the part of the committee, which was made along class lines or on merely technical points, has aroused more resentment than any previous ac tion. President Murphy has called a student body meeting for tomorrow, at 1:15 P. M.. when the students will take some action. Many students already are taking out leaves of absence. In athletics the track team lost only two men and the team will continue training. The rowing crew was hard hit and has disbanded, owing to the fact that Captain I. R. Gay was among the sus pended. The best man on the baseball team Is twtpended and the team may disband. The tennla captain is also among those dismissed. BIG GUNS BOOM AfJli PAY - Target Practice at Magdalena Bay ' Awe-Inspiring Sight. MAGDALENA BAY. Lower California. March 16. via San Diego, March 25. Sunday was not a day of respite for the hard-worked crews of the Atlantic fleet. All day long, froni early in the morning to dusk, the big guns boomed on the tar get ranges, the great shells tore out arross the smooth, unruffled waters of the bay. smashing ragged rents in the white canvas targets and throwing tons of water high in the air. The men worked with almost frenzied activity In the turrets, casemates and exposed bat teries. The ships sailed around the tar get ranges, the guns blazing forth as they passed the position buoys and came on the ranges. The din on board was deafening; the effect electrical and thrilling. Guns of nearly all sizes are being fired, from the sharp-barking three-pounders to the ponderous, reverberating seven and eight-Inch calibers. The largest guns, the 12 and 13-inch sort, are to be the last tired. The sharp, quick report of the automatic three-pounders mounted on the bridges of the superstructures is most piercing. All of the ports and bat tle ports are closed tightly during firing, but this does not keep out the noise. ur Practice at Once. Four regulation target ranges have been laid out and a battleship Is busy on each. They are somewhat closer together, although far enough distant not to be disturbing to leach other, and arranged In aurh manner as to eliminate all danger. The record firing will oc cupy about four day to the ship. With four ships on the ranges at one time, it should be completed some time be tween April IB and 20. . It Is upon the record practice that the percentage tMes are computed and 1 1 trophy for battleships awarded. The percentages are secret and will not be known until they reach Washington, and then only the name of the winner Is announced. The record practice, is largely. If not ntlrely, a contest between the gunpolnt rs, the men who actually aim and fire the guns. The work of the vast number .-f others is largely the execution of or ders based upon mathematical calcula tion. ShelU Seen In Flight. On many of the smaller guns, the load ii is by hand. The heavier ones require Meetrlcal machinery. The big shells are rtloked up. with most rapid movements. :iftrd to the open brevch and rammed home. Two bHs of smokeless pVwder follow In the twinkling of an eye. The !rrcch blook slams shut, the pointer aims nd fires, there is a deafening concussion, i tremendous recoil of the big guns, a ight puff of smoke is blown from the mizzle, pieces of paper and cloth, in which the powder is contained, are nurled into the air. and the great projec tile sails away across the water with frightful velocity toward the target. It travels with lightning speed and yet. be cause of its size, is visible through Rlasses In its flight through the air. The trained observer can follow it with the naked eye and instantly call the hits and The ranse of the firing is directed by men in the "crows' nest" far up on the masts above the tlghting tops, and by others deep down in the ships, who, with papers and maps, call out orders. The shell at first goes on an upward in cline, then strikes sharply downward and piercing the black eHered target of canvas, moored on masts, bits the water beyond. The flight of the shell is won derful to follow. Makes Series of Geyser?. The first collision of the shell with the water causes a column of water to be thrown up a hundred feet or more like a geyser. The sound is heard upon the hip an inrtant later In a sort of dull roar. Then the heavy missile rlcochetea out of the water, sometimes to a height of 3ft) or 400 feet and for a distance of thousands of yards and strikes again. Another geyser of water and spray Is thrown up. perhaps greater and higher than the first. The came sound is heard again, but less distinctly. Then the shell again glances upward and onward in an other flight. This is repeated, a string of geysers marking the flight of the projectile until finally the force of it is spent and It skips and bounds along the surface, finally sinking out of sight. The method of range finding. 'the de flection from the speed and roll of the ship, the velocity of the wind, the ocean currents and other variations occupy the intensely applied attention of scores of of ficers and men on each ship during the nnng. A big percentage of hits and rapidity of fire are what is desired. The men -receive cash considerations from the department for superiority in work, in addition to the much-prized honor that attaches to the winner. Numerous um pires from ships not then engaged judge the shots and mark the scores. After a ship has fired a round she sails by the target, where the result of the shots may be observed. One Shot at a Time. The range of fire and dimensions of the targets differ, according to the size of the guns used. The course is an equilateral triangle. At one cor ner the targets, four In number, are placed. They are white canvas marked In squares with a bullseye. The lines of the triangle are nearly a mile long. The ships, steaming at about a regu lation speed, pass along the horizontal line, firing at the apex where the targets are. But one gun fires at a time, the shots ringing out at the shortest of intervals. Each ship has a range to itself. It must cross the range within a given time and deliver it shots within that time. During? the shooting at the targets the sailors not at quarters crowd the forecastle and railing to watch the re sult. The interest is intense, the en thusiasm infectious. The nerves are strung to a high tension. At the breech blocks the men are working with shells, powder and the gun mechanism. Their bodies are partial ly stripped of clothing and streaming with perspiration. There is the great est exultation when a good score is made. There is similar depression of spirits when a poor one Is recorded. So proud are tho men of their achieve ments and so anxious are they to ex cel that they "can scarcely bear the disappointment of a poorer showing than they had hoped for. Good Results Expected. Great results are anticipated from the present practice. The men are trained to the minute, the long cruise having been well occupied In this way. The finals in the signal competition between tho crews of the different battleships of the Atlantic fleet were held just before entering Magdalena. The contest was won by the Georgia in competition with the Kansas. The difference between th scores of the two crews was but the fraction of a second. Carries Mail to Fleet. 9Af DTEGO. Cal.. March 25. The auxiliary cruiser Buffalo. Captain Pond, sailed this morning for Magdalena with mail and supplies for the battleship fleet. An Immense amount of mail was taken, which had accumulated at the office since the Culgoa left. She also took 1? large sacks of magazines gathered for the sailors of the fleet by the Seamen's Rest Association. Word received this morning at the wireless station is that the Navy tug Navajo will be the next mall boat. She will be here in time to sail for Magdalena Bay on the 29th In at. HISSES UNO BOUQUETS DIVERSE GREETINGS FOR RO CHETTI, THE FINANCIER. Victims- and Employes Still Trust Him Attempt to Involve J Clemenceau Fail. PARIS. March 25. When he went to the offloes of the Franco -Spanish bank to day. In company with an examining mag istrate ,to go over and explain the books and papers of that institution, Henri Rochetti, who is under arrest on the charge of extensive swindles, was given a diversified reception. Hisses and jeers mingled with shouts of approval, and even bouquets were showered upon him. An excited crowd of his clients surged about the building all day. When he arrived there under guard, cries "of "Down with Rochetti" and "rob ber" broke out. Hundreds of RochettPs employes, who still have faith in him, organzied an imposing counter-demonstration, the principals being women and In cluding persons not in his employ who threw flowers to him. Sensational Paris newspapers insist that the scandal is a political as well as a financial one. but developments do not substantiate this. Premier Clemenceau has officially announced that he ia not interested with ajid never knew Rochetti. BLOCKED BY THE BOSSES Y ays and Means Com mlt tee Pre vents Repeal of Wood-Pulp Duty. NEW YORK, March 25. The effort of the American Newspaper Publishers' As sociation to secure legislation putting print paper and wood pulp on the free list has received a sudden shock because of the absolute refusal of the ways and means committee even to give it a hear ing until after the Presidential election. Herman Ridder, president of the asso ciation, says he has assurances from a majority of Congress that they will vote for the measure if it can toe brought be fore the House, and that the sole ob structionists are on the ways and means committee.

Carter, Calls Gunfight er's Bluff in Nevada. TRAGEDY AT WINNEMUCCA W. F. Armstrong Slain by Manager of Saloon and Gambling-House. Carter an Oregon Citizen and Oldtlme Frontiersman. RENO. New. March 25. A special to the Journal from Winnemucca says:. "W. F. Armstrong, a so-called bad man from Wyoming, was shot and killed in the Palace saloon in ' this place by W. H. Carter, one of the managers. Eyewitnesses say the shooting was in self-defense. Arm strong and two friends walked into the saloon and commenced gambling. While so occupied Armstrong accused an employe of stealing his money, and, pulling a gun, threatened to kill any one in the house. 'Put up that gun!' said Carter. With that Armstrong swung around and said: 'I'll kill you!' "Carter then pulled his revolver and fired. Armstrong fell to the floor dead. Carter gave himself up." William H. Carter, who is " men tioned in the foregoing dispatch, is one of the most widely known saloon men in the West, and claims South ern Oregon as his home. During the days of open gambling he was one of the proprietors of the Totem sa loon and gambling houses In Seattle, one of the largest places of the kind on the Coast. He came to Seattle about eight years ago from the Black Hills country. In Wyoming, where he had for a long time been engaged in cattle raising and later In the saloon business. When gambling was' closed in Seattle, Carter went to Southern Oregon, where he bought a large ranch near Kirby, and began farming and stockraislng on a large scale. About a year ago he was attracted by the glowing reports from the new mining districts in Nevada and went to Goldfield, where he bought an in terest in a large saloon and gambling house. When the labor troubles caused times to become dull there he went to Mlna. Nev., and about two months ago to Winnemucca. His family are living In Grants Pass, it is said, at the present time. Carter, who Is now in his early fifties, is a frontiersman of the type thai Is rapidly vanishing. He 'was born in Missouri and went from that state into the "short grass" country of Kansas when a mere boy, became a "cowpuncher" and grew up among the cattlemen, cowboys. Indian fight ers and outlaws of what was then the fon tier. For many years he led an adventurous life and is credited with having put several notches In the butt of his six-shooter before the reign of law and order began in the cattle country. He was a participant in several cattlemen's feuds and served with credit as Sheriff of one of the "bad" counties In the old days. Carter's friends In this city are ready to believe that the shooting at Winnemucca was done In self-defense, as Carter is personally quiet and un assuming and the soul of good nature, though those who know him best vouch for his absolute fearlessness in face of danger and know him as a man well able to take care of him self In any company. In the early nineties Carter spent some time in Portland and In Tacoma and, during his residence in Seattle, made frequent visits to this city, where he has numerous warm friends. HAWLEY'S MAIDEN SPEECH (Continued From First Pag.) and flourishing; Industrie. The purchasers affirm they bought In good faith, and sup posed they were getting good titles. Upon this supposition they have made their im proMjnts. I And no wish on the part of anytZto do an Injustice, but a desire on the part of all to do all things that are right and equitable under the circumstances. Should Be 'o Release. It is vital that there should be no release of the Government's interests In the lands till held by the railroad company, for If they are released, it amounts to a defeat of the wise and prudent terms of the grant and would be a gift, at this time, to the company of 2.3O0.O0O acres of land. 3600 square mile, exceeding the combined areas of Rhode Island and Delaware; three-fourths that of Connecticut; nearly half that of New Jersey; two-flfths that of Massachu setts; and exceeding one-third that of either New Hampshire or Vermont. Its value le more than $35,000,000. Such a gift can be justified on no grounds whatever. It would be a permanent and seri ous detriment to our prosperity. The com pany has persistently ignored its obligations, and recently. In the person of Its chief of ficer, openly repudiated them. Speedy Decision Asked. If the courts decide that the terms of the grant sha 1 1 be enforced by speci fic perform ance, then the lands will be open to the citizens of the United States under those terms. If forfeiture is declared, then the lands return to the public domain and; will be subject to the existing laws, and the power of Congress to dispose of the public domain. The question as to the nature of the titles to this land having now become a matter of general public knowledge. It Is necessary that the matter be determined as quickly as possible and the questions involved et at rest. Here is a body of land specifically reserved by Congress for homes for the people. Un lawfully It Is a forbidden land. Those who desire to occupy It appeal to the Govern ment to break down the barriers. The peo ple resident In Oregon urge the natural right to grow In numbers and to the opportunity for developing their great natural resources. Praise for Oregon. Oregon Is a splendid land. Moses from Pis gah's height never beheld land of equal promise. We, the people sjf Oregon. In be half of our present and future citizenship, ask of Congress to instruct the proper author ity to render this land available for the hab itations of men. The United States is m great country. While we have only one-fourteenth of the area of the world and one-seventeenth of Its population, we carry one-ninth of Its com merce and hare created one-fourth of ita wealth. We ask that Oregon shall have the opportunity to share fully In this unexampled growth and prosperity. Oregon is a land wose beauty and. charm possesses the aoula of her people. They love her dearly. She Justly demands their interest and bounti fully repays their toil. She gladly welcomes those who come, and rejoices in their pros perity. Although she has made excellent advancement in the past, and Is now rapidly increasing in wealth and population, there is a. serious and unlawful restriction on her progress. It ought to be removed. She ap peals to her sister states for the assistance they alone can give. She asks only the fair enforcement of the laws, the rendition of justice and equity to all concerned, the protection of all rights, and that all of these things shall be done by an impartial court.

March 2S. Acting Chairman Kean. .of the claims committee, has writ ten Senator Pulton, asking if he objects to having the omnibus claims "bill taken BP during his absence.
