16 : RULING DELAYED UN : CURRICULA CHANGE Board, After Long Session, Fails to Adjust Engineer ing Courses. ANOTHER MEETING CALLED lroposiiion Is Transfer Technical Departments to Farm College and Take From It Other Studies. After several hours of discussion in executive session, members of the Board of Higher Curricula had not been . ib!e to determine, when they adjourned U:e last night, whether engineering . courses at the University of Oregon ' should be transferred to Oregon Agri . cultural College, or whether the status of engineering at the two institutions should remain as it is now. The Board will resume Its delibera tions at 7:30 o'clock tonight. At a meeting at the Portland Acad emy in the afternoon, the Board 11st - eued to arguments by W. J. Kerr, presi- dent of the Agricultural College, in be half of the proposed change, and by I. I. Campbell, president of the Uni versity, against It. After the arguments the board went into executive session. The plan on which it Is to decide pro poses: First To eliminate from the Uni versity and assign to the Agricultural College the departments 01 electrical , engineering, chemical engineering and civil engineering, conditional on the Agricultural College's requiring a four year high school course or its equiva lent as a preparation in all engineering courses. Second To eliminate from the Agri cultural College and assign to the Uni versity the departments of (a) fine arts, including architecture and music; (b) economics; (c) higher commerce: (d) education, and (e) graduate school. Kerr Wants Clear Deflaltlon. f In his argument President Kerr ' .iske.i that the Board, in whatever de cision it makes, define clearly the fields lons wnlch each institution is to be developed, so thai each should in future -develop its energies along such lines. If the Board should decide to have the ' nKlneering courses duplicated at tbe iwo institutions as at present, he said ;ie would have no objection. "But It is my firm conviction," he dded. "that if the Board decides on separate fields, the field of the Oregon Agricultural College should be applied science 'and that of the university pure .x-lence and liberal arts." In his answering argument. Presi dent Campbell, of the university, took the stand that it would be a distinct loss to the agrlcntural side of the state college to have It made the ex clusive engineering school of the state. In such a case, he said, the demands of the engineering department would be such as to make seriously danger ous inroads in its agricultural funds. He outlined three alternatives before the Board. P'irst. duplication of courses atf the two institutions, along practic ally the same lines as at present: sec ond, that the institutions give the same courses, with some differentiation, and. third, that engineering be taught in one institution or the other exclusively. The proper solution, he said, appeared to him to lie in adoption of a policy which would continue the engineering nurses at the Agricultural College as at present, with four years of techni cal work, while the course at the uni versity should be of five or six years and should Include one to two years of Instruction In the humanities. Technical Work Aluo Snaa-eoted. "In a four-year technical course," aid President Campbell, "there is not room for instruction In the humani ties, la a five or six-year course, however, not only could there be one or two years of work In the humani ties, hut there could be some additional technical work as well." H maintained that the well bal anced higher engineering course shouM Include some such instruction. "I believe firmly." was his conclu sion, "that the passage of the mlilage tax bill has removed the friction be tween the two Institutions and that there will not be much more agitation. tV already are working In better sym pathy and understanding. I think we aro in a position safely to continue present status for the next two years, at least until the Board can oo how the readjustment In conditions It working out." lie had explained -previously that the present status of teaching engineering ourses In each institution was not un economical. All the members of the Board, ex cept A. O. Br1. of Tillamook, who is ill with smallpox, were present at the sessions. They are: O. P. Coshow. of Roseburg. chairman; rr. C. J. Smith, of Portland; Dr. J. R. Wilson, principal of Portland Academy, of Portland, and J. E. Hedges, of Oregon City.

' HELL'S ACCUSER TO BE SUMMONED Wasco County Sheriff Wants Moose Dictator to Explain Few Things. WARRANT CAUSE LACKING Joseph E. Snipes, of The Dalles, Who Xovr Admits Dead Man's Accounts ' Were Straight, Must Give - Reason for Action. THE DALLES. Or., Dec. 19. (Spe cial.) Sheriff . Chrisman, of Wasco County, has announced that he will Immediately start an inquiry into the death of Clyde A. Rudell, whose body was found In a Portland lodging-house Monday, and will request the attend ance of Joseph E, Snipes, dictator of the Oregon Order of Moose here and son of the owner of the Diamond Roll ing Mills, to show the reason why he swore out a warrant for Rudell's arrest on a charge of embezzlement. Snipes now says that Rudell owed no money to the lodge and had straightened up his accounts. - , , Other lodge members will be sum moned also, said Sheriff Chrisman, and they will be asked to tell of the dis pute in the lodge which led to the res ignation of Rudell. Investigation already started by the Sheriff shows that Rudell obtained in all Ho the morning of his disappear ance getting the money by his own personal check which was honored by the bank. Sheriff Chrisman has dis. covered that although several persons saw Rudell Saturday morning, several friends of his were at tbe depot when the two morning trains went out and none of them saw him get on eitheif train. vr Theory Is Held. The theory is now that Rudell, who said to the persons from whom he got the money, that he must meet a man and pay a debt went to an ap pointed meeting in the railroad switch ing yards east of the town and was there set upon and beaten uncouncious. It is believed that the assailants or assailant thinking Rudell dead threw him into a coal car which was part of the 9:25 freight train west and thus he was conveyed, to Portland. The Sheriff's efforts have not unravelled the mystery as the telegram sent by some one in Portland to Mrs. Rudell at her home. Joseph Snipes. In an Interview, the first since the affair became public, acknowledged that he and Mark Sulli van, another lodge member, pretended to Rudell that Organizer Kendricks, a member of the Elgin, IT.. Moose Lodge, was a member of the supremo lodge of the order and was on a visit to audit Rudell's books. Snipes acknowledged to persons acting for Rudell's family that this was "only a bluff" to make Rudell give up receipt books which he is alleged to have misused. Suspicions Are Aroused. In applying for a warrant charging embezzlement to a Justice of the Peace here. Snipes swore that of an issue of 3000 receipts sent here for the use of the local lodge only about 1000 were actually issued for money turned Into the lodge and that the issuance of a receipt numbered close to 1300 led to suspicions against Rudell. A general letter was sent out December 6 to mem bers of the lodge ordering them not to pay their dues to Rudell, who was secretary. These two stories of the financial af fairs of the lodge, said Sheriff Chris man, do not appear to co-ordinate cor rectly, and Snipes will be asked to ex plain his actions in swearing out an embezzlement warrant, when, as he now says, Rudell had straightened out all accounts. It was only this missing re ceipt book which -Snipe, Mark Sullivan and Kendricks wanted when they went to Rudell's home the night prior to Rudell's disappearance.

Assistant Superintendent of Public Instruction Carleton, who was invited to speak at the meeting, urged the Asessors to do what they could to obtain adequate school levies.
