.
Plan Proposed Which if Carried
) Out Will Result In 250 Stu
dents Leaving University.
CALL ATTENTION OF TRUSTEES
The Number of Signatures to the
Agreement Hai Not Quite Reached
the Required Number, But Names
Are Being Rapidly Added.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Ca!.,
March 26. At a meeting of the stu
dent body this afternoon, a plan was
proposed which, if carried out, will
result in 250 students leaving the uni
versity as a protest against the ac
tion of the committee in suspension
and the punishment of the paraders.
This plan, which was proposed by
Baesball Captain Kenneth Fcnton, of
Portland, is in the nature of an agree
ment which, if signed by 250 or more
students, obligates them to apply for
dismissal cards and leave college in
order to demonstrate that the issues
between the students' committee and
the faculty is one of principle, for
which the students are ready to sac
rifice their college career. An addi
tional motive in the proposed action
is to call the attention of the univer
sity trustees to the fact that the sit
uation here is of sufficient importance
to demand their immediate action.
The number of signatures to the
agreement has not quite reached the
required number, but names are be
ing added rapidly, and it seems prob
able that before Saturday, which is
the day set for the agreement to go
into effect, 250 will have signed. In
case that number is not secured it is
robable that only a few 'of the most
radical will leave. The meeting to-
da'was the most stormy in the his
tory of a student body and lasted
three hours When the meeting was
called, Student Body President Mur
phy declared that he wished the full
est discussion and hoped that no ac
tion would be taken until the situa
tion had been fully analyzed. He was
greeted with cheers. Fenton's ad
dress was couched in the most vigor
ous terms. He called upon th stu
dents to display their independence
against the faculty injustice and .in
sisted that there was no honorable
course open except their withdrawal
from the university. In conclusion he
offered a resolution which he stated
had. been prepared by a number of
prominent men last night. He plead
ed for 250 signers and many of those
present presented themselves at once.
Ed Koencr, the football star, and one
of the suspended men, was the next
speaker. His remarks wer almost as
radical as Fnton's and he declared
that if a heavy proportion of men
left the university, the situation would
be put up to the trustees in an unmis
takable manner that could not be
ignored. All the speakers were fre
quently interrupted by noisy demon
strations of approval. Many of the
others counselled moderation, argu
ing that leaving the university would
' accomplish no good and that the men
would only sacrifice themselves.
After a short meeting of the executive
committee held immediately after the
meting, it was decided that the track
meets be held with, California regard
less of the outcome of today's; action.
The, signers of the agremnt include
many prominent athletes and it will
seriously cripple the teams if it goes
through. The baseball team may be
reorganized though Fenton declares
he will not remain in the university.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Ca!.,
Mar. 26. The long delayed action of
the faculty committee on student
affairs of Stanford University came
yesterday when the suspended ax
was swung with a vigor unheard of
at this university and with results
which have complicated the situation
almost beyond comprehension. In
addition to the seven upper class men
who were included in the first twelve
students suspended for participation
in the parade of March 12, thirty
four names have been added to the
list of fatalities, and more than 100
sophomores and freshmen have been
penalized by the imposition of added
graduation requirements which, in
many cases, amounts practically to a
suspension.
In the list of those suspended are
the most prominent seniors and juni
ors of the campus community in
cluding four athletic captains, sev
eral track team members and two
baseball players.
President A. A. Murphy of the as
sociated Students has called a mass
meeting for 1.15 o'clock tomorrow in
the Assembly Hall, when action by
the students is expected.
The second year men have been
penalized ten university credits which
represents at a mininum two thirds
of the work which it is possible for
students to accomplish in a half col
lege year and is therefore practically
a suspension. The freshmen were
penalized half this amount The
same method of discipline extended
to the original 12 has been accorded
to other paraders who signed the
petition.
Following are the names of 39 of

CANDIDATE CANNON
Republicans of Illinois Stand
Loyally by Him.
FOUR DELEGATES AT LARGE
It Has Been Confidently Asserted by
the Platform Builders That a Reso
lution Would Favor the Adjustment
Instead of a Revision of the Tariff.
SPRINGFIELD, March 26.-The
Republicans of Illinois today en
dorsed Joseph C. Cannon as a can
didate for the presidency, declared
for the revision of the tariff and elect
ed four delegates at large to the Na
tional convention. , The administra
tion of Governor Dencen was also
endorsed and that of all . the State
officers. For the last two days it
has been confidently asserted by the
platform builders that a . resolution
would favor the adjustment instead
of a revision, it being the idea that
revision is generally accepted as
meaning reduction, while re-adjustment
might mean the raisihg of some
schedules as well as the lowering of
others. In the last moment, how-
ever, Congressman Boutell arrived
from Washington, where he had
been in consultation with Speaker
Cannon and other Republican leaders
and the plank adopted today was the
result. The Cannon men had things
! all their own way and there was not
a whisper of opposition.

FISH WARDEN
MCALLISTER
Appointed by Fish Com.
mlssloners.
TO SUCCEED VAN DUSEN
New Appointee Is a New Comer
to Oregon and Not Identified
With Either Faction.
FIFTEEN ACTIVE CANDIDATES
Upon the Request of Mr. Van Dusen
the Governor Is Authorized to Ap
point an Accountant to Expert the
Books Work to Be Done May 1.
SALEM, Or., March 26. After
many months ' deliberation and dis
cussion, during which they have been
beset upon all sides by a multiplicity
of candidates and interests in the fish
ing industry, the State board of Fish
Commissioners has finally arrived at
a conclusion in the matter of the se
lection of a successor to Master Fish
Warden II. G. Van Dusen, and this
morning announced the appointment
of II. C. McAllister, of Portland, to
take effect May 1. The appointment
was nude during a closed session of
the board last evening, but owing to
a desire to have the records made
straight it was decided to withhold
the formal announcement of the se
lection until today. The election of
Mr. McAllister was unanimous.
It has been known for the past
year or more that Mr. Van Dusen
was slated for removal, because of a
conflict of interests on the upper and
lower Columbia river over the en
forcement of protective and artificial
propagation laws for the perpetuation
of the salmon industry, in which Mr.
Van Dusen was made the brunt of
bitter animosity between the fisher
men and packers on the upper and
lower Columbia, but the board had
been unable to agree upon a man
suitable to all concerned until yes
terday. Mr. Van Dusen has worked
hard to retain the position, and put
in almost the entire day yesterday
and Tuesday before the board, ex
plaining his policy in regard to the
enforcement of fishing laws. Mr.
Van Dusen's shadow had scarcely
passed beyond the portals of Gover
nor Chamberlain's department when
the members of the board put their
heads together and settled the mat
ter. There were 15 candidates for the
job, all of whom were given due
consideration, but the most promi
nent were W. P. Andrus, a' deputy
in the office of County Clerk Fields,
of Multnomah; former Deputy Fish
Warden II. A. Webster, of Estacada;
W. C. Babcock, of Oregon City, and
J. U. Campbell of Oregon City.
Although practically a stranger in
this State, having come to Oregon
from the East but two years ago, Mr.
McAllister is looked upon as a suit
able man for the position, particul
arly since he is not - identified with
any ; of , th contending interests ' in
the fishing ndustry. He s a member
of the Travelers' Protective Associa
tion, and . his election Was strongly
urged by that body. He ' was !'$he
choice of the entire board and!:Gov
ernor Chamberlain was strongly 'in
his favor. ; i -:r:4my

Reversed by Court
METHODIST PASTORjS ACTIVITY
The Hearing of the Case Took Place
Before Judge Walker in the Circuit
Court Preacher Comments Land
Him for Contempt Procedings.
CHICAGO, March 26.The Rev
A. Lincoln Shute, pastor of the
Wesley Methodist Episcopal Church,
and one of the leaders in the Chicago
Law. and Order League, took the
center of the stage yesterday in the
hearing of the case to compel com
missioncrs to put the Sunday closing
question on the ballot.
Mr. Shute expressed himself freely
yesterday on the decision rendered
Tuesday by Judge Charles M. Walker
of the Circuit Court. Judge Walker
decided the Sunday closing question
should be placed on the ."little bal
lot," thus reversing the decision of
the election commissioners. The ac
tion,of the judge moved Mr. Shute to
say that the court's order is "treason
and anarchy," etc. ,
The little ballot case is still in
Judge Walker's jurisdiction and yes
terday, when his attention was called
to the preacher's comments, he aumv
moned Mr. Shute to appeal1 'before
him today and show t cause' ;'wy"'ne

NEW YORK, March 26.-Thc
stockholders of the Union Pacific
Railroad Company will meet May 5
to authorize an issue of bonds to be
secured by a mortgage on all the
lines of the Union Pacific which are
now unmortgaged. These lines ag
gregate 1,650 miles. The amount and
purpose of the proposed bond issue
was not made public, but it was cur
rently reported that it would be for
$40,0t.(XK) or $30,000,000. This, it
was said, would be sufficient to cover
the company's financial needs for
some time and it was expected that
only a portion of the issue would be
made in the near future.
The directors by vote today de
clined to grant the request made by
certain stockholders that the board
of directors bring suit against E. U.
Harriman, H. H. Rogers and James
Stillman to recover their profits,
which they are alleged to have de
rived from the sale of the stock of
the Illinois Central Railroad Securi
ties Company and the St. Joseph and
Grand Island Railroad to the' Union
Pacific system. In giving their rea
sons for their refusal to bring the re
sircd action, the directors stated that
the interests of Harriman, Rogers
and Stillman in the stock of the Il
linois Central and of Harriman in the
stock of the St. Joseph and Grand
Island were fully disclosed to the di
rectors before the transaction, and
the purchase unanimously authorized
by the other members of the board,
while Harriman, Rogers and Stillman
were excused from voting on that
subject. It was also stated that the
directors had investigated the pro
posed purchases through a commit
tee who knew the facts and advised
the purchase.
