''Wo elected Mr. Avery acting chanoellor
Wednesday and w certainly would not
come, up to Omaha tiro days later and
elect a successor to him. In all probability
Mr. Avery, at the end of the year, will
be made permanent chancellor of the Uni
versity of Nebraska. We cannot, there
fore, be considered as looking any further
for a 'man to take the place of Dr. An
drews." - ,
This statement was authorised by the
Board of Regents of the University of Ne
braska, which held an executive meeting
at - the Paxton Friday. Regent Abbott
voiced he statement.
Both retiring Chancellor Andrews and
Acting Chancellor Avery were at the meet
I rig, as were all the regents except V.
Q. I.yford of Palls City.
The regents announced that they did not
take up the matter of chanoellor at this
meeting, since they had temporarily elected
Mr. -A Very with the understanding that his
elettlort,' In the event of a successful term
of offlev', would be mad permanent.
' Those at tbe "Meetlnst.
Thoao present at the meeting were
E. ' enjflrhlri" Andrews, chancellor; Dr.
Barnut'l Avery, acting " chancellor-eleot;
W. O.. Whltmore of Valley, Fred Ab

Coupland of Elgin and Dr. Dales, secre

int'vrrsity. r, . , '
Ojio if, the" problems-' to meet was a
movement placed 'on foot to change the
ftiiiiiK.icMiipnt of ethwtlca at the university
:rnin the present system to that of having
fn -iilhU lIc director, appointed by the
Hoard of Regents. By the proposed system
the '-nthletli; director would not be subject
to control ly the arhlello board, as he
would not receive his election at the hands
of the board. , ,.
Tle questiou was referred to a oommlt
tee composed of Charles Allen," president ot
the nonrd. of. Regents; Fred Abbott and
Acting Chancellor-elect Avery. This com

meet In Lincoln Saturday.
Petition Asralast Ckavnsjlnsr.
The petition below signed by about 1.00C
members of the student body ot the Uni
versity of Nebraska, was presented to the
Board of Regents:
We, the undersigned students of the
University of Nebraska, believing that
university athletics should be at least par
tially under the control of the students,
desire to petition the Nebraska. Board of
Regents to defer action on the recommen
dation of the chancellor and athletks board
until the proposed plan Is made plain to
aJl members of the university.
First We believe that athletics In their
nature are something which should be
controlled by the students and yet be sub
ject to faculty regulation.
Second That the proposed change should
be presented to the student body before
final action Is taken on it by the Board of
Regents. . ...
Third That the centralising of the con
trol under one man, as a director of ath
letlos, would not be for the best Interests
of the university sports as a whole.
Fourth That the new method has been
carefully worked out and secretly planned
by faculty members of the athletic board
without the consent or knowledge of the
student members of that body; and that
the recommendation has been "railroaded"
through contrary to the wishes of the stu
dent representatives.
Increase Requirements.
Dr. Ward, dean of the medical college
recommended that the requirements of the
medical college be increased so that It
will be necessary for applicants to have
had at least two years college training
before they will be eligible for entrance.
The recommendation Is that the require
ments include a minimum of at least two
years' college work lu addition to the
other requirements. This was referred to
the acting chancellor-elect.
Dr. C. Bl Bessey also recommended the
regents accept two splendid gifts which
nave been offered to the university. One
consisted of a collection of 38 specimens of
plants collected by. William Cleburne, for
merly of Omaha and now residing at New
port, Ky., and the other was a collection
of several thousand specimens ot Ne
braska plants collected by Prof, H. 3.
Webber, a graduate of the University of
Nebraska In 1839 and now a professor of
expert plant breeding at Cornell uni
versity. T. A. Klesselbaoh, a graduate of the Uni
versity of Nebraska, was el'eoted Instructor
In fields crops.
Dean Ward of the medical college rec
ommended the board secure the services of
Dr. F. Crelghton Wellman, a noted au
thority on tropical diseases and tropical
Mology for a series of lectures In Omaha.
The board adopted this resolution:
In the death of Dr. Blcknell, adjunct
professor of opthalmology and otology ot
ihe Omaha Medical college, we recognise
t severe loss to the university. In arrang
ing the details and carrying out the plans
it the affiliation between the university
and the Omaha Medical college and in
solving the difficult problems which have
.(risen since then. Dr. Blcknell, as secre
.ary of the board of trustees In Omaha,
has displayed a marked ability and has
performed an Invaluable service to the
university and to the state.
GOVERNOR GARST IS EARLY
Iowa. Executive Bays He Wishes to
gee Exaosltloa as Well as
Speak Batardar
"I came a day early because I wanted to
see the Corn exposition," said Qovernor
Warren Garst of Iowa. Governor Oarst
will be a speaker on "Governors' day,"
Saturday. "All Iowa Is .interested In the
exposition, so far as I can Judge, and the
attendance from our state will be large.
"Iowa Is quieter in a polltloal way than
for years and there Is every prospect that
this will continue. It is a consummation
devoutly to be hoped at any rate."
Governor Garst assumed his title only a
few days ago upon the 'elevation of Mr.
Cummins to the senate. He had been the
latter's right hand man In the Internecine
warfare, which ha raged for several years
among Iowa republicans, and was the
candidate of the "progressives" for the
governorship In last June's primaries,
when Cummins was beaten by Senator
William B. Allison, and Garst by Governor
elect Carroll. Governor Garst seemed
likely to retire from Iowa politics, but the
death of Allison and th success of Cum
mins over Lacey In the senatorial primary
In November permits Mr. Garst to occupy
the gubernatorial chair for a time.
Mrs. Garst accompanied him here.

Death from Inhaling the fumes of car
bonised gas from a coal fire built In a
common water bucket was the verdict of
Coroner Heafey's Jury In the case of Fer
dtnando Scaml, the Italian who died at the
Omaha General hospital Wednesday. Al
though the idea of suicide had gained some
prevalence among countrymen of Scaml,
the witnesses at the Inquest left the Im
pression that death had been entirely ac
cidental arid suicide was not montlonod in
the Jury's verdict.
Scaml had been living near Seventh and
Paclflo streets In a small room without
stove or other furnishings. He was re
moved to the hospital by Dr. Fltzgibbon
the day before his death, when It was

Telegraphic information received by The

Mrs. Rice In the matron's office In the

receive the Information that her hus

his home-making than he expected, she
said 'she did not know whether he had a
home for her yet or not.
"The last letter I had from Mr. Rice was
about a week ago,'' sa d Mrs. R ce, who
was engaged in polUhlng tableware and
who was humming to herself when the re
porter entered the matron's department at
the city Jail. " In that letter my husband
wrote me that he wanted me to come to
him Just as soon as possible and that he
was trying hard to get us a :ice Utile
home and would send for me soon. He
did not say that that home wo-ild be In
the city of Boston, but I expect some
where In the east. Maybe this telcgra.n
of yours means that ho has a home oil
ready for me now, and he has wailed to
write-me, while your correspondent went
to the expense to telegraph. I w.ll be glad
when he has a home for mo, and I w.ll
go to him as soon as he sends for me. W'a
have, 'kissed and made up," and I look
for a pleasant home and a pleasant life
In the future."

STREETER AMAZED AT GROWTH
Former Omahaa Says lie Would
Scarcely Know City, Such Proa;
ress It Has Made.
"How the old town does grow," said
Ed Streeter of Portland, Oregon at the
Henshaw Friday. "If 1 had been turned
loose without knowing whera I was 1
as sure I would not have recognized Omaha
from the changed appearance of the whole
sale district alone."
This from a man, who, at one time was
one of the head men In the house of Pax
ton & Oallagher, and at one time ran for
mayor of the city of .Omaha, against E. E.
Howel. He sold that Omaha was surely
forging to the front and showing a pro
gressive spirit far In advance of many of
the other Western cities.
