16 LIGHT PENALTY IN BRISTOL HEARING Five Students Suspended for Two Weeks as Result of Hazing Charge. JUDGE SMITH DISSENTS Minority Keport Vrges That Case Be Dropped, as Young Men Are Clear or Responsibility for Victim's Insanity. That the five University of Oregon wh "'bathtubbed" Ralph Bristol are not responsible for his pres ent mental condition but are censur able for Inflicting personal indignities upon a fellow student, is the substance or the majority report of the investi gating committee which was adopted by the Board of Regents yesterday Eliminating the question of Bristol's Insanity, the case resolved itself to a status similar to that of a complaint tiled in behalf of a student because of a personal assault upon him. The stu dents have been found guilty of this offense, but the board in fixing the punishment took into consideration tUe fact that the "hathtubblng-' was not a form of hazing in the strict sense of tne word, hut was a punishment for In fraction of the rules of the college dormitory, an institution governed bv the students; and also the fact that the students had implied authority from the faculty to impose that form or punishment. Faculty May Be Censured. Hence the punishment inflicted is to be mild, being suspension for two weeks. The question of censuring the faculty in any manner because of its acquiescence in the "bathtubbing" practice has been postponed until the June meeting of the Board of Regents. The report that was adopted by the Board of Regents was signed by F. V, Tlolman and J. C. Ainsworth, of the in vestigating committee. The members or the committee were unanimous In their findings of fact, hut Judge Wil liam Smith recommended that the case be dismissed. All the nine members of the Boara of Regents were present in the office of c. A. Dolph when the report of the committee was submitted yesterday morning. The board was in executive session, and the only persons present who were not members were President P. L. Campbell of the university and the secretary of the board. . , Hearing Lasts Three Hours. Consideration of the report occupied more than three hours. There was a long discussion over the adoption of the minority or majority report, and another discussion on the question of punishment. In the vote on adopting the majority report the board stood seven to two. The discussion of severity of pun ishment ranged fron the suggestions of one day's suspension to expulsion. The majority of the board, however, thought that the vane. In view of the findings, did not warrant an extreme penalty and they believed also that the punisnment should be mora than nom innl. The punishment will directly affect only three cf the students, two of the five having left the university. The three still In school are Chester A. Downs. James Nell and Wilfred Wat tenburg. The other two, Byron Goddall and John Rast, were present at the Investigation, as both wish to re-enter the university later. One had with drawn temporarily because of lack of money and tha other failed to get a necessary average in the last exami nations. The full membership of the Board of Regents is as follows: Judge R. s. Bean, president; Judge .1. W. Hamilton, C. A. Dolph, Judge William Smith. N. 1. Butler, S. H. Friendly, Milton A. Miller, F. V. Hol man and J. C. Ainsworth. Text or Keport to Regents. The report of the investigating com mittee follows: To the Honorable Board of Regents of the fnlverslty of Oregon Gentlemen: Your committee, appointed to Investigate the disciplining- of Ralph Bristol by other students of the University of Oregon. December 17, inns, at said university, beg- leave to re port aa follows: That the committee met at the office of the chairman at the City of Portland. Or., on the sth day of April. 1009. and there upon adjourned to the University of Oregon' and held sessions there on the Pth and loth days of April, and then adjourned to and met In Palem. Or., on the said 10th day of April. At each of said sessions testimony of witnesses was taken and the accused students were Riven full and ample oppor tunity to be heard, and witnesses were called by them, on their behalf, and ex amined by the committee. That the testi mony of all witnesses was taken in steno irraphle notes fry a competent stenographer, and has been extended In part only. That your committee herewith submits its finding's of fact and recommendations, as follows, to wit: Findings of Fart. 1 That Ralph Bristol entered the Uni versity of Oregon at the Fall semester of Ifog as a regular student. He had one or more conditions to make up and took hours In regular study, which, together with tte hours to make up his conditions, amounted to IS hours a week, which is a large number of hours for a student. He appears to have been mentally peculiar, which, at the time of his admission into the university, did not amount to mental derangement. That by the 17th of December his mental condition was not normal, which waa not known to the accused students. 2. That Ralph Bristol took his meals at the mens dormitory on the university grounds. Be waa late at meals from time to time. The five accused students, c . Powns. Byron Gocdall. James Neill, John Hast and Wilfred Waltenburg were waiters at the dormitory table On the 17th or De cember. 190S. these live students notined Bristol that In case he was late again that he would be subjected to discipline by be ing put In a bathtub with watr In the tub with his clothes on. which Is known among the students aa -bath-tubbing.- and Is so hereinafter referred to. 3. That Bristol late to his meal on that evening, which was the third time that !y. After he had finished his moal the rtve accused students informed him that they Intended to bath-tub him. Bristol pro tested and asked If he had no friends to assist him. He continued to resist, and called on the nve accused students to stop. hlch they declined to do. He was taken to one of the bathtubs on the second nor of the dormitory where he removed his coat and watch, and he was placed by the nve accused students In the bathtub, tn which ater had already been placed. Aa the ater was not deep enough to cover him. his head waa put under the water and kept r f.'w -" The exact time he "eld ,n the water the committee ia un- OuTa tfv'J.SnJr w" Pr"b" 4.

Bristol became completely Insane and . tsk.n to Portland. That he has "since con' !",VId1,. " ,,n"n- " or three short lucid intervals, and he Is now at the state uisane alum at Salem. Or. II. That while It may be true that the bath-tubbing f Ralph Bristol waa the ex- t cuing cause of hla present mental condition, I by reason of the great uncertainty in this I matter, the comimttea finds that none of 'he accused students should be held to be guilty of causing the present mental condi tion of Ralph Bristol by reaaon of said bath-tubbing. T. That the number of bath-tubbings for violations of the rule relating to being late at dinner by others .have been few and probably not to exceed three Ln the past two years, but while students have been bath-tubbed for violations of other rules of the dormitory, that Ralph Bristol waa the only one who was bath-tubbed for being late at meals since -the opening of the university In the Rail of 190S. 8. That the accused students in bath tubbing of Bristol were not actuated by per sonal 111-wlll to him. 9. That the faculty of the University of Oregon had given over to the students oc cupying the dormitory the right to make rules and to enforce discipline tor the viola tion of these rules. That the accused stu dents had reason to believe that they had a right to use bath-tubbing as a means of discipline for the violation of the atudent rules. 10. That members of the faculty of the university knew that bath-tubbing was be ing usea by students of the dormitory for violations of the rules. 11. That since the bath-tubbing of Ralph Bristol the right of the students to inflict that kind of punishment has been absolute- ...w.uilou oy tne faculty of the uni versity. , 1 ' That notwltstnrtrtfn. .!.. - students believed that they had the right to inflict bath-tubbing as a means of discl- vl . -n'Pn .Bristol that the Indignity of physical assault should have appealed to ,5 accused students aa Improper. That of the five accused students the following: c. A. Downs. James Neill and Wilfred Wattenburg. are now students in the university.

As Mrs. Weyrick had frequently told the neighbors of her intention, he? huL S ,was n' unduly surprised, but bent his energies on capturing her again. Through the railroad a nT bag gage companies Mr. Weyrick succeeded in tracing his spouse to Butte, Mont where she had stopped on her way to Denver, her objective point w-wh1 fe"lnS Into communication with the Butte police Weyrick received a wire, he said yesterday, from them stating that his wife was in the com pany of a negro, and that she had been seen drinking with him. "Weyrick started Friday In hot pur suit. At Butte he sought the assist ance of the police and with them scoured the streets. A few yards from the depot, Weyrick said, he saw his wife, followed by a negro named Charles Walker, carrying his wife's handbag. - "Arrest" that man." said Weyrick in a melodramatic manner. The police did so. Weyrick said he ordered the man's arrest because he was afraid of being shot and because he believed the dusky one had abducted his wife. When Mrs. Weyrick told her Indig nant husband that she had fled Portland alone and because she wanted to force him to sell the cigar stand. Weyrick J umuen me Deal possiDie tning to be done was to leave Butte as quickly as possible, without paying further atten tion to Charles Walker. Leaving Walker in prison, the pair started back for Portland and arrived here yesterday. Dispatches from Butte had preceded them, and it was an nounced on the authority of the Butte detectives that Mrs. Weyrick was found with the negro in a lodging-house. Mrs. Weyrick hotly denied this, and so did her husband. "I ran away to make 'Hen sell the cigar store," said Mrs. Weyrick.

At the meeting of the Evangelical t'nited Brethern Ministerial Associa tion Monday at the T. M. C. A., the doctrines of N. D. Riddell. who has been lecturing ln Portland, were overhauled by Rev. H. C Shaffer. Rev. F. Benti and others, and it was the consensus of opinion that Mr. Riddell is not in accord with the Kvangelical Church; that he does not believe In the vicar ious atonement of Christ, that he Is a materialist and a preacher ofA Univer salist doctrine. Rev. Mr. Shaffer said in his talk that Mr. Riddell should not be welcomed into a Christian church for the reason that he preaches doctr'nes contrary to the Bible. He further declared Mr. Riddell could not lecture in the First United Brethern Church, and had not been in dorsed by the Men's Club of that church. Booklet Advertises Festival. Portland's Rose Festival is receiving a great deal of prominence through the circulation of the Northern Pacific Rail way's new booklet advertising the Alaska-Yukon-Paciflc. Exposition.

State -University Pays $15,000 for Jrossils Assembled by Late Sci entist and Teacher. Carrying out the authority given it by the last Legislature, the Board of Re gents of the University of Oregon yes terday by resolution provided for the purchase of the Condon collection of geological specimens. According- t report conveyed to the rearento tt,. University of Washington stood ready to purchase the collection in the-event Oregon declined to take it. so the Board, of Regents took the steps necessary to Insure the purchase. The cost' to the state will be $15,000. The collection Is that made by Pro fessor Thomas Condon, and was begun when he was a Congregational minister at ' The Dalles. The work of adding to the collection was continued through out his lifetime and while a member f the university faculty. . Professor Condon discovered and named the fossil remains of the prehis toric horse, the five-toed progenitor of the present-day domestic animal. This discovery was made on the John Day River many years ago. and gained for Professor Condon a world-wide repu tation. The collection now purchased .by the university has many specimens from John Day River and is completely representative of Oregon's geological formations. For a number of years prior to the death of Professor Condon the collec tion was utilized for study and as an exhibit at the' University of Oregon, at Eugene, the college paying Professor Condon a small yearly sum for its use. Most of the collection is still ln the cus tody of the university, although a large part of it is boxed. The balance Is ln 'the possession of Professor Condon's family. The University Regents plan to unpack the entire exhibit and place It in the university, where it will be of most value to the institution. SCALE OF FEATHER FINES Offending Milliners Are Taxed in Justice Court. For selling forbidden feathers to wo men who have a penchant for wearing flocks of birds on their heads, the first offense costs $10 and the second three times that amount, or $30. For continued offenses a progressive rate of fines will be dealt out. the preceding fine being multiplied by three until the limit al lowed by law is reached. The rate was fixed in Justice Court yesterday forenoon by Justice of the Peace Olson. Seven dealers, all nrst offenders, were fined $10 each. Two dealers were fined $30 each for double offenses. All pleaded guilty except one, who will be tried April 19. Every dealer in the city has agreed to stop selling white heron feathers alto gether after this. No effort will be made to defeat the law. The following were fined $10: L. Solo mon, of the Wonder Millinery Company: Mary E. McCreedy, L. S. Frakes, H. G. May, of Lowengart & Co.; H. C. Wort-man,- of Olds, Wortman & King; ; W. D. Fraley, and Mrs. Becker, of the Palais Royal Company. Ludwig Hirsch. of the Meier & Frank Company, and Will Lip man, of Llpman, Wolfe & Co., were fined $30 apiece. Allen & King pleaded not guilty, advancing the contention that a hat seized for the officers had merely belonged to a patron and was left for alteration, so that the company was not responsible for the heron feathers. Of ficers of the Audubon Society don't be lieve that tale and will seek to effect the milliners' conviction. AID ASKED TO BUILD LINE Extension of Carline at South Mount Tabor to Be Made. If the people of South Mount Tabor on the Section Line, road are to get an extension of the streetcar line, which now ends at the intersection of West avenue and the Section Line road, they must present the Portland Ral.way, Light & Power Company with a fran chise, bui.'d the extension and then guarantee tne company that It wiil pay operating expenses.

My success In curing difficult cases of long standing has made me the foremost specialist treating men's diseases. This success is due to several things. It is due to the studv I have given my specialty; to my having ascertained the exact nature of men s ailments, and to the oria-inai distinctive and thoroughly scientific methods of treatment I employ.

An attack of grip seldom results fatally, but it is the indirect cause of many deaths. If it does not result in pneumonia, which is frequently the case, it leaves its victim with a cough which lingers on long after every other symptom of the disease has van ished. The system is thus left in a weakened condition and is susceptible to .almost every other disease. The grip can be greatly lessened In its severity if Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy is used, and any tendency toward pneumonia is promptly checked.
