The election of captain will take place Friday, December 10. - Monday evening practice started at the college, but it was only light practice such as has been held all fall. The practice this week will be devoted to the selection of men to comprise the class teams. A schedule has been arranged between the classes for Karnes beginning next Friday and continuing to Monday. The basket ball team will again be coached by Dr. Holmes, of the department of chemistry, and a former Johns Hopkins star. Dr. Holmes will begin active coaching after the class contests, during which time, however, he will be on the look out for varsity material. Election Next Week. The election of captain will be held the latter part of next week. Three

Professor Harlow Lindley of Earl
ham College, wa3 much surprised when he read today that the House of
Lords had rejected the Budget bill which had been passed by the House of Commons recently. Professor Lindley said that this action by the Lords of England, formed an important part in the evolution of the English government. "The English government is the re
sult of evolution," p.tated the professor. "At no time has a king ruled supreme. Every English king has had a council of some kind about him. This council gradually formed or resulted in legal and legislative bodies. One became the King's court and the other the law making body, or Parliament. By the year 1300, two houses of parliament were recognized. One
was the House of Lords and the other the house of commons.
In the time of the Stuarts, or about
1680, It was asserted that Parliament
could make and unmake kings. The House of Lords was a permanent body,
and England became a constitutional monarchy. The people were sovereign through the Commons. Then the Lords recognized that the will of the Commons was the will of the people and they concurred in the bills by the
lower house.
'For 300 years the bills have been
passed this way. Whenever the Lords were dissatisfied with a measure and the Commons favored it. the king would threaten to create more Lords if those constituting the present body did not vote for the bill. So the Commons had their will because th? Lords, favoring an exclusive body, voted for its passage. "The action taken by the Lords yesterday, is indeed a surprise and it is now probable that the present House of Commons will be dissolved. If the
people return the present members the prime minister will be vindicated. If not, the king will choose leaders in the next house who opposed the budget and the Lords will be vindicated. Professor Lindley returned last evening from the University of Illinois, where he addressed the library school of that university Tuesday on phases
of library work. Dr. W. S. Hall of the Northwestern University faculty spoke to the men students of Earlham college this morning on "Sex." Dr. Hall is a very earnest speaker and his address was highly beneficial to the students. His plea was for cleanliness and purity in life. The Hon. John W. Foster will address the students in chapel tomorrow morning. Mr. Foster has not announced his subject, but he will probably speak on diplomatic or arbitration work.

The practice this year has been de
ferred because many of the candidates
were football varsity men and were unable to take part because of football work. This has made the instruc
tions late but the coach feels that
there is still plenty of time to develop
plays.
One of the first things evident in
the work so far, is that there is to be a close fight among the players for
positions. There is already an average of four strong men working for each position. This does not include the
number or men wno may return tor the winter term and take part in bas
ket ball work.
In n Interview yesterday, Dr. Holmes said that the object of the basket ball season would be to give every roan in the college, who wanted
to play, a chance to make good. If,

Two complaints against property owners appropriating parts of the streets and alleys for their own individual benefit and one petition to allow a stand to be built along the side of a business building, but on city property, were heard this morning at
the meeting of the board of works. One reported violation was that of
the proprietor of the Shurley livery stable, North Eighth street. The alley to the north of this stable was cemented recently and the board of works had intended to compel the livery management to place their manure boxes on the inside of the stables. However, this was impossible for several reasons, and so the board consented to the owners building cement boxes, which would extend three feet .eight inches onto the alley. It was further provided that the boxes should be covered. According to the complaint made this morning by City Engineer Fred Charles, the livery manure box extends on the alley four feet, eight inches, just one foot more than authorized by the city. The box, a cement affair, was constructed, but was not provid
ed with a lid. One of the members of the board stated that the proprietor of this stable should be made to tear out
the box entirely or else tear out suffi
cient amount that it might be rebuilt under the terms granted by the city. No action was taken today in the mat
ter, but it will not be dropped.
The Schwegman Case.
The other complaint was against the alleged refusal of George Schwegman
to comply with the city's orders, to re
move a barn, fence and chicken house off of the alley, running between
Fourth and Fifth below South C street
The order was made several weeks ago.
Mr. Schwegman carried it out by hav
ing a carpenter saw off two feet of the lower story of the barn, leaving four feet of the upper story projecting over city property and two feet of the lower story still on city property. According to the members of the board. Mr. Schwegmanhas reflused to remove the remaining two feet of the lower story and the four feet of the second story. City Attorney T. J. Study stated that he was investigating the law in regard to Mr. Schwegman's case. As he remembers the law, he said, Mr. Schwegman could be criminally prosecuted for failing to comply with the city's orders. J. L. Garver, who conducts a feed store on Main street, between Ninth and Tenth, petitioned the board to be allowed to widen a stairway on tha west wall of the building which he occupies and to build a stand under
neath. The request was not acted
upon, but City Attorney Study advised
that it be rejected, as the supreme court had decided that the city can not grant to any one the privilege of ob
structing any part of the highways.

Regarding the much talked of tuber
culin test, city health officer, Dr. Charles S. Bond, today Issued the following statement:
As there has been so much said in
the papers the last two days, about the tuberculin test. I think 1 ought to make this statement to the public, as
some confusion seems to exist in re
gards to the facts about the matter.
Out of thirty-nine cattle first test
ed in the E. L. Commons dairy, one cow began having raise of tempera
ture the time we usually expect ce.ttle to react after having been injected with tuberculin. The temperature did not reach as high a point as usual in such cases, nor did it last as long as
usual, but Dr. Bolser, the assistant state inspector, who was invited to assist Dr. Stewart, asked that this
cow be slaughtered in order to determine the cause of this reaction.
Mr. Commons, the owner of the cow, was also anxious that the cow be examined, as he wanted to be sure that he did not have an infected cow remaining on his place. As the government inspector was to be found at the
abattoir and as we obtained the tuberculin was to be found at the abat
toir and as we obtained the tuberculin
from the government with the understanding that all suspected cows were to be passed or be rejected by such Inspection, the cow was taken to the abattoir for slaughter. The abattoir people were not under obligations to us in the matter, but under the circumstances, when explained to them, reluctantly gvo their consent The cow was slaughtered and. an abscess about the size of an orange was found. All the glands over the body were found to be as

ation. As this examination includes
injections into guinea pigs to deter
mine whether they develop tuberculosis or not, it has required more time
than usual for reports. In the meantime the carcass of the slaughtered cow is hanging in a safe place, and
the public need not have fears of obtaining any of this meat as it works a great hardship on the abattoir to have the public so wrought up about
the matter. I feel it just to them that
they be given a square deal, as they, as well as Dr. Wagoner, have been only honorable in this transaction, and have always tried to protect the public against disease. The butchers also have done all in their power to give the public clean meat. I also want the public to know that E. L. Commons has had the courage to be the first dairyman to have these tests made, and that he now has had all the rest of his cattle tested, and found free from the disease. Prof. Arthur M. Charles, of Earlham who lives on the Henley road, thought well enough of the tests to hava a cow tested and thereby adds his approval to the tests. J. C. Walker has also had two cattle tested and were found free from diseases, at his heme southeast of the city. Very respectfully. Charles S. Bond.
