Meadow a Junk dealer who lives at 1423 North Nineteenth street, was arrested last night charged with receiving and con cealing stolen property, but was later re leased on tr00 'bonds. Meadow Is charged with buying railroad brasses, belonging to the Northwestern railroad, which were stolen by Magnus Jensen, aged 17, and Rolf Hansen aged 20, who are in Jail. It la reported that the two went to the railroad yardsand, by means ofa Jack, lifted one end of a car and removed the brassea and then let the car down and It would be hard to discover that they were gone for some time. It Is not known how many cars the boys robbed, but they have been working at this trick for about a week. It Is said. Jensen says that a Junk dealer at Six teenth and Nicholas streets proposed the thing and offered them 3!- vents per pound for it and sold It for 18 cents per pound. He said that a man had to know how to dispose of It, howfaver, to be able to realise that much out of It.

Alt meeting of the committee last week It was suggested that a meeting of the club be called next Tuesday to consider a proposition to buy the J. J. Monnell pro perty at Twentieth and Dodge streets. This plan could hardly have been satis factory, however, aa many of the members re out of the city and with the club ad journed for the summer It would be diffi cult to get an expression from the full membership.

Commencement week exercises at the University of Nebraska begins on the even ing of June IV. with an evening concert at the school of music, and will close on the evening of the 10th with Chancellor and Mrs. Avery's reception to the faculty and alumni. Every one of the four days are crowded with events. On Sunday evening the baccalaureate address wtll be delivered by Rt. Rev. Arthur t. Williams, Eriscopal bishop of Nebraska, his subject being, "Character, the Highest Expression "f a Right Education." A matinee and evening performance of the class play, "The Royal Family." are) Tuesday'a events. Alumni class breakfasts and dinners, a business meeting and address by William Logan Etephens. 89, the annual banquet and co tillion, cover the working hours of Wednes day. Exercises on Thursday, commence ment day, begin at 10 a. m. with the com mencement procession, followed by the commencement oratipn by Senator John Sharp Williams of Mississippi; subject, "Dixie Its Place In the Union, Past, Pres ent and Future, and Its Problems." Con ferring of degrees conclude the exeutses. Arrangements and details are In chaii? of E. H. Barbour, C. R., J. O. Worklier, E. H. Clark, W. W. Votaw and P. J. Har rison. At the regents' meeting it Is probable It will be decided that it is not to the best Interest of the y tool to employ a financial chancellor to look after the busi ness affairs of the institution. Chanoellor Avery has proven himself such a good business man and organiser that one member of the board slated that he would be able to give the regents such help In the financial management of the school that It would not be necessary to employ an outside man. The financial chancellor, however, Is looked upon as a certainty of the future. NEBRASKA MILITARY A t IDEM Y Cadets Marrh to Camp Hayward at Mllford.

Forty-five professors and fifty-five In structors will make up the teaching staff next year of the Schools of Engineering at Columbia university, and In addition there will be even more non-resident lec turers than thla year, when forty-seven SPve from one to five lectures In the va rious courses. This plan of lectures by non-residents Is one of the most Important features of the course. During the scholastic year, men prominent in the various branches of engineering go up to Columbia to give the students the benefit of their years of experience in the outside world, and by this means the students are kept In touch with the latest dlscoveriea or prac tice in their chosen profession; are taught the economic siJe of engineering, and are belter fitted to take up their work Imme diately after graduation. The practical side of the work Is also given In the lab oratories, and, as a matter of course, the best Instructors are engaged In teach ing the theoretical side. The engineer who Is graduated from Columbia, Is, therefore, well fitted In every respect to take up his task when he receives his degree. Among the lecturers this year have been such prominent men as Benjamin B. Lewrence, consulting mining engineer; Allen ITasen, the sanitary engineer; C. F. Scott of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing company; Stevenson Tay lor, president of the Qulntard Iron Works; C. B. Going, editor of the Engineering Magazine; C. H. Carpenter, president Her-rlng-Hall-Narvin Safe company; J. M. Dodge, Link Belt company of Philadel phia, and XV. P. White, builder of the Niagara Falls power plant. Tha lectur ers next year will be men fully as emi nent in their professions. In the last ye.ir the increase In number of students of engineering at Columbia has been double that of any other school of the kind In the country, and the stu dent body Is now so large thst It has been necessary to build a large dormltorv at Camp Columbia and double the size of the dining hall. The camp now raises all Its own farm produce, and the water Is the best In the east. The camp will be full all during the summer with the different squads which will be sent there in turn, and the rest of the students will be placed In he, shops and machine works throughout the east, where they will get practical vork In the courses they are studying at the university. These facts are set forth in the circular of the schools, which has Just been published. COLORADO COLLEGE. Kew Mechanism Installed la School of Eaglneerlnar. The school of engineering of Colorsdo college has recently Installed a Gray metal planer in the mechanical laboratory for the use of its engineering students who take work and Instruction In practical mechan ics. The apparatus is constructed with broad housings and a deep bed. which In sure great rigidity and security from chat tering for all positions of the Cross-rail. On the cross-rail are two heads, tha saddle be ing made right and left. The cross-rail Itself Is extra long so that either head can be used to plane the full width of the ma chine. The cross-feed la provided with micrometers accurately graduated to in thousandth of an Inch. There Is attacned to this metal planer an electric grinder of one-quarter horse-power, for the accurate grinding of metal to be used In the con structlon of appartus for the various lab oratorios. Two small gas furnaces have been con structed, the greater part of the work done by the students in the mechanical labora tories. One is a pot furnace, to be used In melting alloys and the treatment of steel in an open fire, and for bronzing. The other Is a hinge circular top, for open fire or muffle furnace. Students use these fur naces for the treatment of high carbon and high speed steels. The last number of the Bulletin of the American MathematIC Society contalna an article by Prof. Florlan Cajorl of Colo rado college on the history of a method In mathematics known as "mathematicl Indue tlon." A great many different statements have been made as to the originator of this method. Prof. Cajorl quotes from many different authors and arrlvea at the conclusion that the method ahould be at tributed to Blaise Pascal, and not to Fer mat. as claimed by some writers. Prof. Cajorl has been Invited by the sec retary of Section A of the British Assoc In tlon for the Advancement of Science to contribute a paper at the August meeting. to be held In Winnipeg.

Cincinnati high school boys have started a movement to test a law passed by the laat legislature prohibiting fraternities among public school children. Commenting on this, the Cleveland Plain Dealer says "It Is perhaps well that thia act should be given the test of the courts, but not as the Ohio river lads propose, to knock It out and establish their right to organize and maintain secret societies. Such a test, by indicating any weakness the present law mav have, should point the way to Its fortification. If the present law Is vitally weak, It should be re-enacted In a form to carry out the Intention of th original measure." That It will be necessarv to reduce th size of the freshman class which will enter Wellesley college next autumn If academic work Is to be continued on plana followed the last few year Is the conviction of Dean Ellen F.

May 29.-To the Editor of The Bee While the effort of th Park Board to acquire new boulevards are worthy of commendation, yet the question arises why do they neglect the boulevards slrcady ac quired and partly Improved. In Kansas City It Is well known that boulevard frontage, be It. high or lows- is the most In demand for residence pur poses, while It Is also well known thai property In Omaha on the best rrt of our boulevard is not In demsnd. The reason for this condition Is that there are no electric lights slong th boulevard and swamps, frog-ponds and unsightly shacks ar everywhere, causing the people to avoid driving along It, especially after nightfall. Commencing at 21st and Dewey avenue on the west, there 18 an extensive swamp and aome of the most unsightly shacks and stsbles In town. Crossing Leavenworth street, another swamp is passed and then one must go around a house sitting in tho middle of th boulevard. Why a squatter Is permitted to occupy the middle of a street for so many years Is not apparent, and why the swamps and Knacks have not been condemned Is hard to explain to vis itors as smpie power to condemn exists tnd the rlgh'. to assess the costs thereof upon adjacent property, la in the city charter. Members of the Park Board, who lack Interest in the work, ought to resign and the mayor should select men especially fitted for the work, regardless of their party affiliations. P.
