Th new Board of Health will hold
a meeting In the near future, at which

bership. This will put the new admin

members of the Water Board, that
branch of the city service is also great
ly changed as to personnel, Theodore

the old Board. Radical changes in
the policy of the Board are certain to
follow, and it is already rumored that

CHICAGO, July 6. (Special.) Freedom
of thought and speech, absolutely and
without restriction or interference, is to
be the policy at the University of Chi
cago, even if the univart'ty must suffer
for it. This announcement came from
Dean Albion W. Small, acting president
of the university, today, as the first
authoritative statement of the univer
sity's attitude toward its professors' re
ligious views since the controversy be
tween Professor George Burman Foster
and Baptists ministers began.
The statement is based on utterances of
the late President William Rainey Har
per on the subject of academic freedom
and religious independence. It is ex
pected to finally set at rest the complaints
of Baptists ministers and conferences
against the university and Its faculty.
In fact, this is a declaration of the inde
pendence of the university from the Bap
tist Church.

Late Representative Told.
JONES TELLS OF CAREER
Body of Dead Congressman Will Be

Instead of Guard. -$
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, July 6. News that Francis W.
Cushman, Representative from Washing
ton, had parsed away last night in New
York, came as a great shock to his host of
friends in both branches of Congress to
day. Morning papers contained dispatches
announcing he had successfully passed
his crisis and was on the road to recovery.
it was not until the members of Con
gress reached the capitol that they heard
of his death, and even then word spread
slowly among the members, for the House
was not in session.
In conformity with Mrs. Cushman's
wish, there will be no Congressional es
cort appointed to accompany the remains
to Tacoma, but the body will be taken
across the continent by a representative
of the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House,
who went to New York this morning. The
House will not meet until Thursday. At
that time, Cushman's death will be an
nounced, and adjournment probably be
taken out of respect to his memory.
Piles Brings Sad News.
Senator Piles, who was at Mr. Cush
man's bedside when the end came, re
turned to Washington thUs evening. He
said Mr. Cushman passed away peacefully
being unconscious during his last hours.
Heroic treatment was resorted to as soon
as Mr. Cushman's condition took a turn
for the worse at 10:45 last night, but he
was so weakened that he did not respond
to treatment. He sank steadily through
the night, and breathed his last at two
minutes past 5 this morning.
Senator Piles, Andrew Burleigh, an old
friend, and four physicians were at the
bedside. Senator Piles was continuously
at Roosevelt Hospital since Saturday aft
ernoon, and remained at Mr. Cushman's
-bedside throughout last night. Mr. Cush
man, he eaid, apparently never realized

ADVICE FOR BEGINNERS.
By the Editor of KID-O'S Magazine (10,000,000
Wm. Cullen Bryant We have glanced over your
' Thanatopsis, and assume that you are a country person.
A word of advice, therefore, will not be out of place.
Eschew the ponderous and serious. The public prefers
to be amused. Try writing for the vaudeville stage.
Coon songs, or such as "I Love My Wife, but Oh, You
Kid!" go very well. With practice you may be capable
of this.
Jas. Russell Lowell There Is no demand for odes
and essays. You would do well to avoid the erudite.
' Classical allusions and unusual words are not popular;
our public has been too busy getting money to gain
an education. Have you ever handled a muck rake?
You might do well in thafe line. Take Chas. Edward
Hussell and Lincoln Stuffem for models, and try an
expose of some great popular evil, like, for instance the
extortions of the ice trust among the Laplanders, or
the undermining of the Republic by the Insidious
mince pie.

thrust two revolvers into Olson's face
and commanding htm to throw up his
hand, laid down one gun and seized

it in his satchel. He paid no attention
to the few customers in the bank.
Cashier Lyen was In the rear end
of the building. He ran .down an
alleyway and entered by the front door
to take the robber by surprise and
grappled with him. The robber shot
three times, one bullet passing through
Lyen's jaw and neck, making a seri
ous wound. The robber then fled with
both Lyen and Olson shooting at him.
Thief Thought Wounded.
His hat was shot off and It is be
lieved he was slightly wounded. He
,is supposed to have had a bicycle hid
den in the vicinity, for he was next

up the chase in automobiles he had
disappeared.

few days ago.

Signal Officers Annoyed at Lack, of
Invitations to Members of
House.
WASHINGTON, July 6. The Signal
Corps officers concerned in the aeroplane
trials are beginning to exhibit signs of
irritation at the apparent unconcern of
the Wright Brothers regarding aspects
of the matter which to the Army officers
seem exceedingly important.
Brigadier-General James Allen, chief
signal officer, and every member of the
corps want members of the House to wit
ness the flights made in order that Con
gress may treat more kindly requests for
appropriations for aeronautical work.
Wilbur Wright left for New York last
night without notifying the officers sta
tioned at the aeroplane shed that he in
tended to go. While Orville Is expected
back from Dayton Wednesday, it seems
hardly likely that there will be any more
flights at Fort Meyer before next week.

going to survive, but now It is not be
lieved that any serious result will ensue.
although, according to Chief Surgeon
Ainsworth, the patient is not entirely
out of danger.
Calvin was first attacked by the dis
ease about ten years ago, since which
time he has suffered from it intermit
tently, which accounts for the serious
conditions which the operation revealed.
Mr. Calvin is the only patient at tho
magnificent new $1,000,000 hospital of tho
company, which is to be formally opened
in a few days. He is receiving the un
divided attention of the best attaches of
