LINCOLN, April l.T (Special. )-Thc au
thorities of tho University of Nebraska aro
rot Inclined to hellevo the report printed
In several newspapers thU mornlnK that
Dr. Andrews had declined to accept the
chancellorship of the Nebraska university.
An ofllclnl notice of the action of the HotirJ
of Regents wiu mailed 'to Dr. Andrews
yesterday and a reply la not expected before
tho first pah of next week. It Is generally
believed hero that Dr. Andrews will visit
tho Institution before, announcing his do
clslon.
Tho fact that Regents Von Foroll and Rich
conferred with Dr. Andrews In Chicago
prior to tho election Wednesday night
strengthens the belief that ho will nccopt
tho chancellorship of the Institution. Ho-
Kent Von Forcll, after tho meeting of the
board Wednesday, nnnounccd that he was
confident that Dr. Andrews would come to
Nebraska.
The report of Dr, Andrews' refusal was
still further denied tonight by a prlvato
telegram received here from Andrews him
self, which branded the alleged Interview
as a baro fabrication.
The university senate, comprising all of
tho faculty of tho Institution, has appointed
a committee, consisting of I'rofs. Fling and
Davis, to carry tho greeting of the faculty
to Dr. Andrews.
At a convocation held In the chapel of
tho university this morning for tho pur
pose of arousing Interest In public speaking
nnd debating, Acting Chancellor Dcsacy
made tho following rcfcrcuco to Dr. Au
drews:
"I wish at this time to speak Just n mo
ment about our new chancellor. I feel that
thoso of you who am Interested In oratory
and public speaking should bo very cnthusi
astlc over the calling of this man, who Is
known as not only an author and educator,
but as an orator. You will have, If be
comes to us, and I trust that he may, n
man who will lead you and who will en
courage you In this work. Now, there Is a
rumor that ho muy not accept. Let us pray
that this may not ho so, because I am fairly
convinced, young men and women, that it
wo can prcvAll upon this great man to come
to us, ho will help you In such work as
you aro Interested In at this tnasn meet
log this morning."
I'tofs. Fling and Caldwell nnd Judge
Itoeso also spoko In complimentary terms
regarding Dr. Andrews and expressed the
hope that ho would accept tho position ten
dorod him by tho Hoard of Regents.

and asked the Inspector what ho wanted to
know about It. The Inspector replied that
ho wanted to know who sent tho packago
and what It contained; that If It contained
stamps ho wanted them. To this, according
to the ovidence of Fosnes, Klrby roplloj j
that he didn't know if ho could tell, as thero

that ho should have to consider. Klrby told .
Inspector Fosnes that he would like to con- I

put In an appearance and subsequently re
marked to Klrby: "Joe, what's In that
