MAY 8, 1894, g e —— — ~ T e e ————— e —————————————————————— e e STUDENTS' ZEAL T00 GREAT Fight Against State University Orator MoMullen Bocoming Serious. ALL OVER THE ORATORICAL CONTEST the Mail and Ap- to Be Draft Extracted from propriated — Arrests Likely * Made—Animnted Scenes at the College, LINCOLN, May T7.—(Special Telegram to The Bee.)—The controversy over the orator- feal contest at the State university has got beyond a squabble In colleglate politics and assumed a most serfous phase. An Investi- gatlon was started this afternoon, at the end of which will be the arrest of one or more parties, presumably university students, on two serious charges, one being for robbing the United States mails and the other for forgery. The State Oratorfcal association pays the expenses of the Nebraska representative to the Interstate contest. This year the asso- clation treasury is empty and McMullen's opponents boasted that they would prevent his trip to Indianapolis by hook or crook. In his anxiety McMullen wrote to his father at Beatrice for the money necessary to pay his expenses to Indianapolls. He received no response and Saturday.wrote again. This morning his father wrote him a letter in which he 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 Natlonal bank at Lin- coln and returned to the bank of issue at Wymore. Ah examination of the draft showed that it had becn endorsed with the name of Adam McMullen in lead pencil. McMullen, sr. pronounced the lead pencil signature a for- gery at once. The letter to McMullen was addressed in care of the State university and was delivered to that institution and placed in the regular ptacle where all Btudents had access to it. Student McMullen declares that he never reccived the draft or the letter and never knew that either had been sent him until so informed by his father In a second letter. He declares fur- ther that' he was never in the German National bank in his lfe. The bank teller Who cashed the draft with the forged en- dorsement states that he believes he can identify the person who cashed the draft. The university faculty has been in secret sessfon since 5 o'clock this afternoon. The controversy over McMullen's alleged conduct in conection with the oratorical con- test, by which he becomes the state's rep- resentative in the interstate oratorical con- test, was taken up by the students this afternoon in one of the most exciting and turbulent mass meetings ever held in the his- tory of the university, nearly 1,000 students crowding Into tho chapel to either partici- pate in the meeting or to listen to the inter- esting developments promi Williams presided and Jones acted as sccretary. A riot was almost precipitated by Fisner, one of the editors of the Hesperian, who offered the following resolution RESOLUTIONS THAT MADE THE ROW. In s0 far as late developments in connec- tion with the recent local oratorical contest and as the contest throws the students of the University of Nebraska in bad repute before the public, and since long continued silence on the part of the students would seem to indicate that they do not condemn the action of Adam McMuilen, in that he i8 known to have offered money on two ocassions to men of more than ordinary ability as writcrs, in return for which th were to furnish him an oration which would win first place in the local oratorical con- would, or state oratorical contest; therefor Resolved, That we, the stu University’ of Nebraskd, in cony sembled, ‘do now, openly and publicly, con- demn“such action on the part of the afore- sald MeMullen, deeming it an injustice to those who entered the contest in good faith and an ifmposition upon the students in gen- eral; and be it further Resolved, That, although his attempts to secure an ‘oration in these two cases seem to have been successtul, vet, in view of the facts, and furthermore, siice a prominent attorney of Lincoln openly acknowledges in & leading daily newspaper of our city that the oration, “Blaine 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 MeMullen be not allowed to represent us and the state of Nebraska At the coming Interstate oratorical contest 10 be held at Indianapolis, Ind.; and be it Resolved, That copies of these resolutions be submitted to the chancelior and the ulty of the University of Nebraska and the \NUMBER 9.

The resolutions were adopted after a hot fight. MoMullen was réprosented by a son of Judge Strode, a practicing aftorney at the Lancaster county bar, although still a student of the university. A strenuous effort was made by the students to prevent him 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 side two letters were pro- duced, one from Walt Mason of Beatrice and the other from Will Owen Jones of this city, the former claiming that McMullen had ap- plied to him, and the latier that he had ap- plied to Bixby of the Lincoln Journal, offer- ing money for an oration to be delivered by a friend. Attorney Strode refused to permit McMullen to make any defense before the student body, saying that the defense would be made before the faculty at the proper time, The resolutions were finally adopted after the battle had waged with flerce intensity for more than three hours, the vote standing 349 to 160, many students declining (o vote. The meeting 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 50 shaken the institution to its foundation as the present controversy. GRAVELEY'S SECOND TRIAL. Green Graveley, a colored man, was ar- raigned for trial before Judge Strode today on the charge of murder in the first degree, Graveley's victim was the notorious Charlia Thomas. Bad blood existed between the two men and Thomas accused Graveley of insult- ing his wife. The two met in the billiard room over Ivison's saloon about 1 o'clock in tho morning of May 29, 1892, and after a few words Graveley 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 few weeks ago granted him a new trial on the ground that the lower court erred in in- structing the jury that the burden of proof rested upon the defense to show self-defense, M. F. Unruh, a saloon keeper of Steele City, Jefferson county, was arrested here today upon a warrant sworn out by . Seligsohn of this city on the charge of obtaining goods under false pretenses. Seligsohn sold Unruh a bill of wet goods upon the latter's repre- sentation that he was financially well fixed. Unruh is endeavoring to compromise the matter. I M. Raymond, a well known wholesale grocer of Lincoln today formally announced himself as a candidate for the republican nomination for governor. Two horses helonging to Steven Myers at Fair and Twenty-sixth streets were stolen before his eyes. The horses were picketed in front of the house. Two rough looking men came up, and befors Myers realized what they were doing they had cut the lariat ropes and rode off at a gallop. The sheriff and several deputies are in pursuit. Prominent Indiun Married. HAY SPRINGS, Neb., May 7. — (Special Telegram to The Bee.)—This was a gala day in the history of Pine Ridge agency, the event being the marriage of Chief Yellow Bird and Julian Ecoffey, two prominent Sioux Indians.

A total of sixty-two bases on clean hitting in a professional game of ball! That is what the Rourke family did yesterday afternoon with the shoemakers from Jacksonville. Ten home runs in a single professional game of ball! Omaha made 'em yesterday. Four home runs by a single player in a professional game of balll Jack Munyun made 'em yesterday afternoon, besides two doubles and five runs. But that wasn't all of it—just a starter. Fear made a brace of homers, while Seery, McVey, Wood and Moran made one each. But to epitomize. Omaha made twenty- eight hits with a total of sixty-two bases, twenty-nine runs and but a single error, an excugable one by Munyun. On the other hand the Jacksonvilles made fourteen hits with a total of twenty-six bases, ten runs and but three errors. So all together it was a pretty lively sort of a game, and a well played one at that. Notwithstanding these redeeming facts it was excefsively tiresome, and failed to arouse enthusiasm. The bleachers did a good deal of guying and that was all. There was too much hitting to awaken the risibles of the crowd, and the best a home run could do was to evoke a loud guffaw in the stands. Even home runs became monotonous. It would require a good day's work to write a description of this wonderful after- noon's work, and occupy a page in The Bee, 50 it Is omitted this time. Boxendale pitched a very pretty game and once more demonstrated that he is a comer. The least said about Mr. Burris the better. The score contains his full history. Here it is: OMAHA. AB. R. 1B. SH.

Time! ‘city last mght on his way to attend the GRIFF WINS FROM munpmr] Gots the Doecis'on After Eight Rounds of Hard Punching, BOTH WERE BADLY USED UP AT THE END One of the Hottest Meetings of Lato Times Pulled Off at Boston—Stanton Abbott and Andy Bowen Glve Clumsy Exhibition, BOSTON, May 7.—Tonight, in one of the hardest fights seen here In a long time, Young Griffo was declared the winner over Billy Murphy at the end of the eighth round. The men lost no time In getting together after the call. Murphy was the first to lead, landing a light one on Griffo's nose. They came together at once in a rapid exchane: Grifto landing his right twice lightly on Murphy's eye. It was an even thing to the finish. The second round was warm. Murphy let go his right again, but this time the black-haired boy was too quick for him, and had put his right on Rilly’s stomach. It was give and take for the next minute, with the odds in favor of Murphy. Griffo 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 Griffo went at him with a view to finishing him. Murphy went to his knees from a right- hander on the jaw, but was up at once and hot at it. Murphy managed to get in a few £00d ones on Griffo's body. Griffo got in his left twice in rapid succession in the fourth round, and the blood began to flow down Murphy's cheek. Griffo was doing all the leading, while Murphy seemed content to wait. 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 Griffo's neck, but the blow glanced off. The eighth and last round was a trying one for Griffo, but he kept his head well and let Murphy tire himself out. Murphy had a ‘““do or die” expression on his face when the men were called to the center. He made straight for Griffo’'s body and succeeded in gelting in a few hot ones, while the latter was thinking about it. He next landed his left on Griffo’s face and to many it seemed as though the big fellow was get- ting careless. He recovered himself, how- ever, 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 Griffo amid hisses and cheers. The pair met in the Casino before 2,600 spectators. CLUMSY AND UNSCIENTIFIC. Meeting Between Andy Bowen and Stanton Abbott at New Orleans. NEW ORLEANS, May 7.—Stanton Abbott of England and Andy Bowen of New 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- scientifie 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. Rounds five to nine Bowen evened up matters, and in the eighth round the home 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 one. At the end of the tenth round the contest was declared a draw and the purse divided between the two fighters. e Cable Between China and Borneo.

The secretary made a report of the cxpen- ditures since July 893, which were $206,206.73, against 20255 for the pre- vious year. Of this amount $170,083.43 was pald for teachers’ salaries. The hoard now employs 66 teachers, of whom 22 recelive $40 per month, 2 $45, 3 $50, 9 $35, 17 $60 and 13 $65 per month. Superintendent Fitzpatrick made a report showing the number of principals and the amount of work they had to do. He recom- mended a concentration of their labors, which would result in a saving of $8,200 per year it followed out.

Wood as principal of the Leavenworth school was accepted and Miss Agnes McDonald was elected to fill the unexpired term.

The county treasurer notifled the board that lot 13, block 30, Kountze Place, had been sold for taxes. It was reported that the holder of the title would surrender the same on the refunding of the purchase money, which will probably be done. ve made in A number of applications for jan- itorship were placed on file, as was the request of A. P. Willlams for the job of filling out diplomas. G. E. Gotschall, Willlam Kern, Ioma Kleinfelt, Marion Watson, Alice J. Dye, Daisy 1. Scho’ ficld, Abbie W. Bowen and Emma Brown applied for positions as teachers. It was recommended that the holders of applications Nos. 4, 5, 8 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 25, 27 and 28 be given certificates for primary and grammgr grades.

A number of bills and claims were ordered pald and a special com- mittee, consisting of Powell, Akin and Lowe, was hstructed to expend $1,000 on the High school, Kellom $200, Park $150, Lake street $150, to be used in landscaping the school grounds around these buildings according to plans furnished by H. W. C. Cleveland. Thero was considerable discussion as to the advis- ability of this expense, owing to a lack of funds, but after deciding to only expend $500 on the High school grounds this year the resolution was adopted. The proposition to lease four lots on Druid hill near the corner of Thirty-first and Spaulding streets for two years at $100 per year with the priv- flege of purchasing the same at the expira- tion of the lease for §3,200 was accepted.

The report was adopted and the board appointed the following men to take the consus: First ward, J. R. Jicinsky, Chris Bertelsen; Sec- ovening adjourned court. The most import- ant actfon during the late part of the ses- #lon was the hearing of the county seat con- tost case. After the evidenco was given the judge decided that the election held in 1889 should be set aside, and ordered the commissioners to call & new election. The ground for this decision was that fraud was practised by Chappell and Big Springs. This dacision of the court may be called a vie- tory for Chappell. - Jncksonville Agaln Todny.
