Recontly tho joint board of the army and navy decided that tho naval baeo for tho East should be at Cavito Instead of at fiubig bay, President Bryan Compares Schools With Thoso of Europei President 13. A. Bryan, of tho Wash ington State college, haa returned from his to ir of the European capitola, and at present ia preparing a aeries of lec tures, tho subjects of which ho gathered while abroad. President Bryan's trip was something in tho naturo of an in vestigation of modern education, both technical and classical, aa found in the most advanced and greatest educational institutions of nations. Beforo leaving America he visited several of America's most famous institutions, and both in England and on the continent called at tho world's best known centers of learn ing. Ilia conclusions wero recently stated aa follows: "I boiiove the time is not remotely distant when the educational institu tions, of the West, meaning tho western part of the United Statei, will be fully as efficient, and as famed as the best universities and colleges of the old world. The tremendous fund of natu ral wealth In Western states, the rapid development now in progress, the geo graphical position with reference to the new commercial empire cf the Pacific, and the wide-awake nature of Woetern people make these things certain. Nover again will men have a Western frontier to look to when seeking new homes for tho expansion of new ideas. Humanity has made its path around the globe, and now, at the journey's end, the Pacific coast, must there be an up building, and intensive, rather than ex tensive, development of all institu tions. What this means to Uio people of the West they do not at present fully comprehend. But the progress ol eventa nowadays fs very rapid, and the work of these Tie w forces will be evi dent within only a few years." Old Superstition Refuted, Br J. L. Aahlock, Washington State Colleg-e, Pullman. The results of an experiment, which for the past fifteen years has been in progress at the state experiment sta tion, completely refutes the old super stition that n cold January and Febru ary is apt to be followed by a warm March and April, or that one year of an average low temperature is apt to be followed by a year in which the temperature wili average higher. Professor George Severance now has the compilation of the weather data In charge, and states the summarization of results as follows: "For the past fifteen yeara the ex periment etation has kept a close rec ord of Uio temperature of ea:h day of the year, striking an average between the temperature of morning and even ing, which we call the 'mean tempera ture.' Having kept the record for a month the custom baa then been to get tho average 'mean' for the entire month. In this way we have com pared Uio temperatures of each period of January and February with the tem perature of the following March and April periods for the past fifteen years, and we find that the variations from Uio rule for determining what the tem perature of spring will be by the tem perature of winter, of one year by aver aging the temperature of another, are so frequent that it is proved that the weather of one year or month, ur sev eral months, is absolutely no index to what subsequent temperatures will be." Agricultural Club at Idaho University By J. H. Frandeon, Idaho Experiment Station, Moscow The formation of an Agricultural club on the 19th of December marked an important event in the history of the agricultural department of the univer sity of Idaho. The club is intended to promote a more lively feeling towards agricultural work among the student and to interest the farmers of the state in the college. Several methods wili bo used in carrying out this work, the principal ono of which will be the pub lishing of a magazine known as the Ida ho Student Farmer. Tjo first and only number of the present scholastic year will be published in a ehort time. Be ginning next fall a quarterly will b printed. This magazine will take up subjects of the utmost interest to farm ers and to agricultural students.

WORK OF ANARCHIST Attempts to Kill Chief Shlppy, ol Chicago Police. FIGHTS HARD TO THE VERY LAST Assailant Slain by Chief After Wound ing Four Persons Dead Man Had Plotted Long. Chicago, March 3. The would-bo assassin of Chief of Police George M. Shippy was last night Identified as Laz arus Averbuch, a iiuaslan student ol presumably anarchistic tendencies. Chief Shippy, attacked in his home, No. 31 Lincoln placo, at 0:30 a. m. yesterday by Averbuch, shot and killed the latter, but not until his assailant had stabbed him in the arm and shot and dangerously wounded Harry Ship py, a eon of the police official, and had wounded James Foley, a member of the police department detailed as driver for his superior. The younger Shippy was eaid at a late hour last night to have a good chance of recovery. Neither of the other men was dangerously hurt. Averbuch s attempt upon the chief s life was the fourth effort he had mado to accomplish his purpose. Twice on Sunday he visited the house, but was unsuccessful in finding his intended victim at home. At 7 o'clock yesterday morning he made his third appearance, but was informed by a servant that the chief could not be seen till 9 o'clock. When he returned af 9 o'clock the chief was on the point of leaving for his office. When admited at the front door Averbuch handed the chief an envelope bearing bis name and address, but the latter, having heard of the previous visits to his home, suspected that something was wrong and seized him by the arms. The envelope which was found later to be only a ruse to gain entrance, contained only a blank sheet ol paper. The quickness with which the chief acted upon his suspicion doubtless saved hia life. Averbuch, though slight in build, proved in hiB desperation almost a match for Uio chief, who is much larger, and the latter found himself unable to holu his assailant and search him for weap ons at the same time. He therefore called to'hia wife, who was in the next room, asking her to ascertain whether tbe man had a weapon in his pockets. Mrs. Shippy discovered a revolver in Averbucb's pocket, but before she could remove it he struggled loose from the grasp of the chief and, drawing a long knife, stabbed he chief in tbe arm. Thereupon the chief grappled again with his assailant, who drew a revolver. At that moment Harry Shippy, 19 years old, came rushing down the stair way to his father's aid. Averbuch fired two shots, one of which struck young Shippy, who fell eeriously wounded. Before Averbuch could fire again, James Foley, the chief's driver, attracted by tbe shooting, ran to the door and seized Averbuch. The assassin struggled loose from the embrace and fired a shot, which pierced Foley's hand. Thereupon both Mr. Foley and Mr. Shippy emptied their revolvers into Averbuch's body. One bullet entered the man's breast near the heart ,and another passed through hiB head. The revolver dropped from his fingers and ho died without a groan. FATE IN DOUBT, Seattle Fair Bill May Not Get By Its House. Opponents. Washington, March 3. The mem bers of the Washington congressional delegation are somewhat concerned over the manliest unirienauneBs snown ny the Republican leaders in the houeo toward the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific expo sition bill. While they feel reason ably certain that they will ultimately secure an appropriation for government buildings and exhibits, they realize that the opposition of the "strongmen" of the house Ib likely to make it difficult to get as much money as they really need, and they believe that a further reduction in their bill will be injurious. When the eenate paseed the Piles bill it went to the house, and should have been refetrcd to tho committee on industrial arts and expositions, before whioh tho Humphrey bill was pending. Instead it was referred to tbe commit tee on ways and means on the lame ex- cuso that the bill contained a provision authorizing the admission, free of duty, of exhibits from foreign nations. This committeo is antagonistic to the bill. Gets Evidence On Rebating. San Franoieco, March 3.
