off a barge last night and was drowned.
The body was recovered by dragging
the river when Klndel'a absence became
known.
Klndel had been working for some
time In the engine house which sup
plies air to the sand hose. At about
6:30 last night he went out of the
engine room, remarking to the engineer
and the other men sitting around the
room that he would go out and get a
breath of fresh air. Thev didn't hear a
splash or any cries for help, but In
about half an hour when Klndel did
not return, went out to look for him.
After dragging the river his body was
recovered.
The men on the bsrge told Coroner

UNIVERSITY OPEN
The question of raising funds for

meeting of the board of regents this
afternoon In the offices of Dolph, Mal-
lory, Simon ft Gearln. .
Bince the decision or the supreme
court given recently to the effect that
the petitions invoking the referendum
on the appropriation granted bv the last
legislature were valid the appropria
tions have been held up and no money
is available for the conduct of the in
stitution. It will be impossible to se
cure any aid from the state until after
the election In June. This fact puts
the Institution In a straitened position
since the enrollment Is greatly on the
increaae and it will take a large sum
to keep the university running until the
appropriation becomes available.
as yet the regents have not devised :
any definite plan by which the funds
rcrr tne maintenance or tne college can
be raised. The feasibility of makina:
an appeal to tne memoera or tne alumni
association has been advocated, asking
