Within a few days Bey. M. P. Dowling.
who has served altogether nearly fourteen
year as president of CreJghton university,
will leava for Cincinnati, and will be suc
ceeded aa the head of the great unlveralty
by Rrv. Eugene Magevney, who now holds
the chair of philosophy In Detroit college,
and la well known In Omaha aa a lec
turer on philosophical subject.
Father Dowling says he will become a
"high private In the rear ranks," and as
a member of the Society of Jesus, will
probably return to pastoral work, unless
tho society changes Its. plans for him,
( which he does not desire.
The change at the university la to be
made at the request of Father Powllng
and wos not unexpected when the an
nouncement was made Saturday. It was
xhls desire that he bo sent to another field
as soon as the Crelghton estate was settled.
He remained to do the work necessary In
securing for" the Institution the property
which Count Crelghton desired that It
should receive, as he felt he was acquainted
with many details which would help to
ward the adjustment of Inevitable con
troversies, and he was willing to remain
as long an his services wore needed. In
this connection he said:
"It goes without saying that the death
of Count Crelghton and the events growing
out of It left matters far less pleasant for
me personally than they were during the
lifetime of the count. It must be obvious
even to the cssual observer that a new
hand at the helm just now would be for
the benefit of the university."
" JTs. Criticism of Mini.
Close friends of Father Dowling are
authority for the statement that the presl
dent of the university has done his work
In connection with the settlement of the
Crelghton estate In the fairest and most
conscientious manner possible, asking only
what he believed Count Crelghton desired,
and any feeling which has grown out of the
matter Is not In the least the fault of the
man who has given so many years of his
life and so much of his great energy and
executive ability to build the Institution
whr-h he leaves in other hands In the de
Cllnlng years of his life.
Father Dowllng's name Is Inseparably
connected with the history of the greatest
Catholio university In the west. He first
camo to the school when It was little more
than an academy In 18SS with an attend
ance of about two hundred students. For
foiir years he moulded the destiny of the
academy toward a full collegiate course
and then left It in 1889 Just as the college
courses were being Introduced.
From Omaha Father Dowling went to
Detroit, where he became president of
Detroit college, from which his successor
as the head of Crelghton university has
now been called. After five years' service
as the head of the great school In Mlchl
gan he was transferred and returned to
the ranks of the clergy, becoming the
pastor of the Holy Family church on the
West Side In Chicago In 1894. Father
Dowling did great work In tlje thickly
populated district during the most trying
times of the country, which had their ef
fect on his poor parish, one of large
families In which the struggle for
bread to feed the children tried the faith
of priests and his most .faithful followers.
But Father Dowling carried them through
the hard times and left the parish In good
condition, with the already large parish
enlarged and strengthened.
Tin Years 1st Milwaukee.
From Chicago the prlast went to Mil
waukee to become the pastor of Qesu
church, where he served almost two years,
being sent back to Omaha In 1898 once
more to become the head of the Institution
which had grown to be one of the foremost
universities of the country, with an at
tendance In all Its departments of 600 or
600, which has Increased to almost
1.000 during the last few years. Father
Dowling has been the head of all
the departments, which embrace the" col
lege proper Crelghton Medical college, the
dental school and Edward Crelghton In.

asked about his plans. "My departure Is
not unexpected by me or others who un
derstand affairs at the university. All
took It for granted that ahange would be
Bade In the presidency In the near future
"The man who succeeds me. Is a man of
experience, ripe judgment and unquestioned
scholarship. He has filled positions of re
saonslblllty and trust and has always car
ried himself with credit. He also possesses
the prestige of a man of affairs. His
broad education gives him a breadth of
view that cannot fail to impress Itself
upon his work. Neither Is he a novice at
university work; he Is practical, sympa
thetic and tactful. Just the man from whom
the best results may be expected at a time
when the' scope of Crelghton Is about to
broaden and expand. Father Eugene Ma
gevney will be no disappointment to the
friends and well wishers of the university.

respnnsilHIItics of the last few years.
These have been shared by generous and
competent co-workers, to whom a great
part of the advance made In the univer
sity are due. It was no mean task to have
so large a hand in planning, building and
equipping new departments, getting the
faculties together, arranging the courses
of study and meeting the Innumerable dif
ficulties Incident to the new undertaking.
"I have found the people of Omaha warm
hearted and generous, sincere and earnest.

benefit of the youth of the city and of the
west. I trust thst I carry away with me
their respect, "fcnd I certainly have a warm
place In my heart for many old friends.
whoso friendship I would not easily for
feit."
Sneaking of his quick change. Father
Dowling said: "Members of the Society of
Jesus, to which I belong,, are accustomed
to passing from one place to another and
taking up new Interests with little notlc
of the changes contemplated. Our organ
ization is seml-mllltary,-and we are likely
to be sent anywhere on short notice wher
ever we are likely to do the most good or
the least harm. We have no cinch on
office and may bo In authority, today and
subordinate tomorrow. In the place
where I expect to go I shall not- hold any
office. I shall be a 'high private In the
rear ranks.' It Is different with the mili
tary. When a-lleutenant gets a transfer
he expects a promotion. It would be a
disgrace and break , his heart If he was
put back In the company as a private.
But we are different. We are ap'to go
up or down, and with equal grace and
good nature. I do not know but what our
manner of life furnishes some of the
strongest elements of military effective
ness and approaches somewhat the - so
cialistic dream of equality. What a
htppv thing It would be In many Instances
If we could readily get rid of men who
do not realise that they have outlived
their usefulness and efficiency?"
peaks of Student 'with Emotion,
- And Father Dowling laughed at the Idea
of again going back to take charge of
srime parish and "starting over again."
He spoke feelingly of leaving the students
and said of them:
"As my duties here have been mostly
administrative and executive, I have not
come Into as Intimate contact with the
student body as when I was a professor
and director of studies. My opportunities
for Influencing them directly have been
largely confined to occasions when they
met for memorial services, prizes, com
mencements, receptions, reading of the
rules and special meetings, arranged for
all the students' to attend. In order to
hear some good advice, I must say, how
ever, that I never met a more manly,
straightforward, honorable, energetic, sen
sible set of students, or any for whom It
was a greater pleasure to work. The ma
terial Is excellent and the results ought to
prove satisfactory in every way. To the
education that comes from books they are
adding the broader education from their
environment and from casual opportunities
well used." , ; i

MINISTERS PICKED AS EASY
Several Clergymen Are Visited by
game Trio in Search
of Alms.
Evidently entertaining, the opinion that
ministers of the gospel are gullible a trio
of strangers claiming te hall from Denver
Is pushing a new begging scheme in
Omaha. The trio Is composed of a man
and woman and little boy, ( though the
woman does all the work, the little boy be
Ing taken along to excite sympathy. As
yet no one has been called upon for aid
except the ministers, but to these and all
others whom they may call upon Superin
tendent Morris of the office of the As
sociated Charities, Issues a warning and
Instruction to refer them and all beggars
to his office.
The woman and little boy called upon
Rev. T. J. Mackay a couple of days pgo
and to him told a story of dire want. They
claimed to hail from Denver and told Mr.
Mackay they knew his frlmd, Dean Hodge
of the cathedral, there. The minister be.
lleved the story and gave the woman a sum
of money. The day before the woman and
little boy called on Rev. I O. Balrd of St.
Mary's Avenue Congregational church and
asked for HK0 with which to buy a flnsh
light lantern to equip her husband's photo
graphic studio. Mr. Balrd did not give her
any money, but sent her to Mr. Morris.
Rev. E. H. Jenks of First Presbyterian and
Dean Beecher of Trinity cathedral were
also called upon for aid by tho aims solic
itor, the photographic flash light lantern
scheme being generally used.
While not wishing to injure the people
if they be worthy, he says, Dean Beecher
gives out the Information that the woman
culled upon him about a wek agoand
asked for aid, sayjug .that her husband
had been unablo to secure any orders for
pictures. The dean did not give her any
money, but bought the family a night's
lodging at a hotel. He believes tho people
are Imposters.

DANIEL FINALLY VAr&S UP
CMr Prosecutor Flies Complaint
Against W. Wells Abbott, aa Em
ployment Agent.
A complaint has finally been filed against
W. Wells Abbott, president of the Quinn
tee Reference jtnd Surety company. It was
filed Saturday morning by City Prosecutor
Daniel and charges keeping an employ
ment agency without a license. This It.
cense Is S40 a year or fJO for six months.
Thursday afternoon twenty men who had
paid the $3 registration fee with Abbott's
concern appeared before tho city prose
cutor and made complaint that they had
been defrauded. The city prosecutor sum
moned Abbott by telephone and after some
talk about the methods of doing business,
which Abbott admitted were not strictly
on the square, Abbott agreed to give hack
the registration fee to each man, which he
did.
The fine provided for the offense with
which Abbott U charged ta "not more than
1100."
The city prosecutor has been roused to
some action by criticism of his tardiness
In the case of Abbott and declares he may
Investigate the methods pursued by other
agencies In be city which pretend to get
employment for the unemployed and re
quire the payment of exhorbltant fees In
advance.
Daniel Horrlgan, an attorney, has pre
pared an ordinance and it Is now In the
hands of Councilman Johnson providing
for a much' stricter regulation of these
agencies, which have pursued a fast and
loose policy In the city for years. Mr.
Horrtgan's ordinance provides for a bond
of tl.OUO Instead of iloa as at present; for
a yearly license or Slot) Instead of the pres
ent 110. and also provide that no fee shall
be payable to the agency until the position
has been secured.

The Judge discharged him at onee. The
count bowed, thanked the court and moved
out with a step that was more, suited to
the court of some great monarch peopled
with beautiful women and great states
men and diplomats than to the court of
John Doe, filled with the ruck of hu
manity. Fred Murray was discovered by a police
man on North Sixteenth street late Friday
night where, he was Industriously tearing
down business signs and flinging them
Into the street. When the officer took hin
In charge he insisted that he was a second
Carrie Nation. He mourned the fact that
he was handicapped by not having a
hatchet and. while waiting at the patrol
box begged the officer to note the fact thut
business signs are an eyeVore to all right
minded people and a blot upon the aesthetlis
escutcheon of the city.
Fred admitted in police court Saturday
morning that he had no grievance against
the street signs nor their owners and that
In the fifture he would leave to the city
council the regulation of the signs.
One could hardly blame II. V. Sexton
for begging. He was discharged by the
police Judge on his promise to leave the
city. Both his arms are cut off at the
shoulder. When arrested he vigorously
resisted searching one of his pockets, which
was carefully pinned shut. In It were
found $14 in bills. He- bad also 11.25 In
change.
"I tried to get Into the poor house at
Davenport," he said, "but they told me I
wasn't a resident and couldn't get In. I.
was born there. I'd take a Job doing any
thing, anything at all. It there was Just
a living in It."
The poor fellow's face and voice showed
that he meant what he said. But who
wants to hire a man without arms? The
little hoard of money that fetanda between
him and Jail were restored to him and he
sadly went his way. ,
