LINCOLN , May 7" ( Special Telegram to
The Dee. ) The controversy over the orator
ical contest at the State university 1ms got
beyond n sqtiabblo In collegiate politics and
assumed n most serious phase. An Investi
gation was started this afternoon , at the end
of which wilt bo the arrest of ono or moro
parties , presumably university students , on
two serious charges , one being for robbing
the United States mails and the other for
forgery.
The State Oratorical association pays the
expenses of the Nebraska representative to
the Interstate contest. This year Urn asso
ciation treasury Is empty nnd McMullen's
opponents boasted that they would prevent
his. trip to Indianapolis by hook or crook. In
his anxiety McMullcn wrote to his father
nt Beatrice for the money necessary to pay
his expenses to Indianapolis. Ho received
no response and Saturday.wrote ngaln. This
morning his father wrote him a letter in
which ho stated that $30 had been sent In
a previous letter ; that It had been sent In the
form of a draft ; that the draft had been
cashed at the German National bank at Lin
coln nnd returned to the bank of Issue at
Wymore. , . . < r
An examination of the draft showed that
It had been endorsed with the name of Adam
McMuIlen In lead pencil. McMullen , sr. ,
pronounced the lead pencil plgnaturo a for
gery at once. The letter to McMullen was
addressed In care of the State university
nnd was delivered to that Institution and
placed In the regular receptacle where nil
students had access to It. Student McMullon
declares that ho never received the drafter
or the letter and never know that either
had been sent him until so informed by his
father In n second letter. Ho declares fur
ther that he was never In the Herman
National bank In his life. The bank teller
who cashed the draft with the forged en
dorsement states that ho believes ho can
Identify the person who cashed the draft.
The university faculty has been In secret
session since G o'clock this afternoon.
The controversy over McMullon's alleged
conduct In concctlon with the oratorical con
test , by which ho becomes the stale's rep
resentative In the Interstate oratorical con
test , was taken up by the students tills
afternoon In ono of the most exciting and
turbulent mass meetings ever held In Urn his
tory of the university , nearly 1,000 students
crowding Into the chapel to cither partici
pate In the meeting or to listen to the Inter
esting developments promised. Williams
presided and Jones acted as secretary. A
riot was almost precipitated by Flsner , one
of the editors of the Ifcsperlan , who offered
> h& following resolutions :
JIESOLUTIONS THAT MADE THE ROW.
In so far ns late developments In connec
tion with the recent local oratorical contest
tind ns the contest throws the students of
the University of Nebraska in bad ippute
before the public , nnd since long continued
Hllencc on the part of the students would
ieom to Indicate that they do not condemn
the action of Adam McMullen , In that he
is known to have offered money on two
ocasslona to men of more than ordinary
ability as writers. In return for which they
were to furnish him an orntlon which would
win first , place In thev local oratorical const -
st of thu university * ami which would , or
presumably would have been used in the
Btato oratorical contest ; therefore , be It
IlePolved , That we , 'the students ot the
TJnlvcrally of Nebraska , In convention as
sembled , * do now , openly and publicly , con-
demn'8Uch action on the. part of the afore-
Bald McMullen , deeming It an Injustice to
those who entered life contest In good faith
nnd an Imposition upon the students In gen- ,
cral ; and be It further
Resolved , That , although his attempts to
Becure an oration In these two cases seem
to Jiave been successful , yet. In view of the
facts , nnd furthermore , slnce-a prominent
attorney of Lincoln ppenly acknowledses in
a leading dally newspaper of our city that
the oration , "Jtlalnn- the Man , " was devel
oped under his eye , serving to show that
the above named oration was not wholly , If
not all , his own production ; we hereby
request that Adam McMullcn be not allowed
to represent us and the stateof Nebraska
nt the coming Interstate oratorical contest
to be held at Indianapolis , Ind. ; and be It
Hcsolved , That copies of these resolutions
bo submitted to the chancellor nnd the fac
ulty of the University of Nebraska nnd the

test.ADOPTKD THE HRSOLUTIONS.
The resolutions were adopted alter a hot
fight.McMullcn
McMullcn was represented by a son of
JudRQ Strode , a prnctlclnR attorney at the
Inncnnter county bar , although still a
ntudent ot the university. A strenuous effort
waa made by the students to prevent htm
from appearing , but the sense of fair play
finally overcame the opposition. Weaver of
Falls City , a son of ex-Congressman Weaver ,
also made an eloquent speech ,
On the other aide two letters were pro
duced , one from Walt Maxon ot Ilcatrlco nnd
the other from Will Ovrcn Jones of this city ,
the former claiming thnt McMullen had ap
plied to him , and the latter that he had ap
plied to Blatby of the Lincoln Journal , offerIng -
Ing money for an oration to bo delivered by
a friend. Attorney Strode refused to permit
McMullen to make any defense before the
student body , saying that the defense would
bo mndo before the faculty at the proper
time.
The resolutions were- finally adopted after
the battle had waged with tierce intensity
for more than three hours , the vote standing
319 to 150 , many students declining lo vote.
The meetlnit was the most bitter ever held
In the university. During Its progress
hundreds of students were on their feet de
manding recognition. Charges and counter
charges flew across the hall and many per
sonal encounters were narrowly averted.
Nothing In the history of the university has
so shaken the Institution to Its foundation
as the present controversy.
OUAVKLBY'S SECOND TRIAL.
Qroen Graveley , a colored man , was ar
raigned for trial before Judge Strode today
on Iho charge of murder In the first degree.

men and Thomas accused Graveley of InsultIng -
Ing his wlfo. The two met In the billiard
room over Ivlson's saloon about 1 o'clock In
the morning of May 29 , 1S92 , and utter a few
words Qravoloy drew a revolver and shot
Thomas dead.
Graveley was convicted of murder In the
second degree and sentenced to fifteen years
In the penitentiary. The supreme court a
fe\v weeks ago granted him a now trial on the
ground thai the lower court erred In In

rested upon the defense to show self-defense.
M. P. Unruh , a saloon keeper of Steele City ,

upon a warrant sworn out by S. Scllgsohn of

A total of sixty-two bases on clean hitting
In a professional game of ball ! That Is what
the Uourko family did yesterday afternoon
with the shoemakers from Jacksonville.
Ton homo runs In a single professional
game of ball ! Omaha mndo 'em yesterday.
Four homo runs by a single player In a
professional game of ball ! Jack Munyun
mndo 'cm yesterday afternoon , besides two
doubles and flva runs.
Uut that wasn't nil of it just a starter.
Fear made n. brace of homers , while Scery ,
McVey , Wood and Moran made ono each.
But to epitomize. Omaha made twenty-
eight hits with a total of sixty-two bases ,
twcnty-nlno runs and but a single error , an
excusable ono by Munyun. On the other
hand the Jacksonvllles made fourteen hits
with a total of twenty-six bases , ten runs
and but three errors.
So nil together It was a pretty lively sort
of a game , and a well played ono at that.
Notwithstanding these redeeming facts It
was excessively tiresome , and failed to
nrouse enthusiasm. The bleachers did a
good deal of guying and that was all. There
was too much hitting to awaken the rlslbles
of the crowd , and the best a home run could
do was to evoke a loud guffaw in the stands.
Even homo runs became monotonous.
It would require a good day's work to
write n description of this wonderful after
noon's work , and occupy a page In The Dee ,
so It Is omitted this time.
Doxendalc pitched a very pretty game and
once more demonstrated that ho Is a comer.
The least said about Mr. Burrls the better.

Clumsy Inhibition ,
BOSTON , May 7. Tonight , In ono of the
hardest fights seen hero , In a long time ,
Young Orlffo was declared the winner over
Hilly Murphy nt the end of the eighth round.
The men lost no tlnio In getting toccthor
after the call. Murphy was the first to lead ,
landing a light ono on Orllto's nose. They
came together at once in a rapid exchange ,
0riffo landing his right twlco lightly on
Murphy's eye. It was an oven thing to the
finish.
The second round was warm. Murphy
let go his right again , but this tlmo the
black-haired boy was too quick for him. and
had put his right on Billy's stomach. It
was glvo and take for the next minute , with
the odds in favor of Murphy. Grlfto secured
first blood , landing his left on Murphy's
nose with good effect.
Murphy seemed tired when the men re
sponded for the third round , and Grlffo
went at him with n view to finishing him.
Murphy went to his knees from ! n right
hander on the jaw , but was up at once nnd
hot at It. Murphy managed to get In a few
good ones on Qrlffo's body. GrliTo got In his
left twlco In rapid succession in the fourth
round , and the blood began to flow down
Murphy's cheek. Grlffo was doing all the
lending , while Murphy seemed content to
watt.
watt.Tho
The fifth and sixth rounds were warm
ones. Although both men landed many blows ,
neither of them had the strength to floor
his opponent.
In the seventh round Murphy got his right
in on Grlffo's neck , but the blow glanced off.
The eighth and last round was a trying
Ono for Grlffo , but ho kept his head well
and let Murphy tire himself out. Murphy
had a "do or dto" expression on his face
when the men were called to the center.
Ho made straight for Griffo's body nnd
succeeded in getting In a few hot ones , while
the latter was thinking about It. He next
landed his left on Grlffo's face and to many
It seemed as though the big fellow was get
ting careless. Ho recovered himself , however -
over , and In the last few minutes , got In a
few good ones on the body and a stiff one
on the face.
The men shook hands and the referee.
Mr. Daly , gave the bout to > Grlffo amid
hisses nnd cheers. The pair met In the
Casino before 2,500 spectators.

NEW ORLEANS. May 7. Stanton Abbott
of England and Andy Bowen of Now Orleans
fought for a purse of $2,500 at the Audi
torium in the presence of 4,000 people to
night. The fight was for ten rounds only ,
at the request of Attorney General Cunning
ham. The exhibition was clumsy and un
scientific throughout. Abbott disappointed
the spectators by the poor form he dis
played throughout , though the fight was
fast and furious at times. The first to the
fifth round Abbott had the best of the fight
ing , landing some left hand jabs with tel
ling effect. Hounds five to nlno Bowen
evened up matters , and In the eighth round
the homo man landed a heavy right hander
on the forehead and fairly knocked the
Englishman down. The latter recovered
quickly and delivered some left hand
punches which did not do much harm. The
tenth round was an exhibition of fast fight-
Ing. Both men landed many blows without
a single scientific ono. At the end of the
tenth round the" contest was declared a draw
and the purse divided between the two
fighters.
