LOUIS Necessary for Real Proprietors of Mis- souri Pacific to Stand Together to Protect Their Interests. NEW YORK, March 15. Frank J. Gould, who announced last njght his In- tention later to issue a statement of an alleged effort by the Standard Oil in- terests to force the corporation's wishes upon the management of the Missouri Pacific, issued another statement today explaining why he had sided with the minority stockholders in yesterday's meeting in St. Louis. "The tendency," he said, "recently has been to make prominent projects which looked to many permanent holders of Missouri Pacific securities, as possibly disastrous and the contest at St. L .ouis was made to correct not only such an impression, but to put the management of the company into hands which pro- tect tho integrity of tho system. The result was that the real proprietors have Indicated that they will stand together in preserving their property int'act. " Mr. Gould would not say when the statement regarding the Standard Oil in- terests would be made public. DEATH SENTENCE FOR MURDERER IS PASSED End of Sensational Trial of Stlnle Mor- rison In London Court. LONDON'. March 15. Stlnlo Morrison today was found guilty of the murder of Joseph Eeron, and sentenced to death. Tho police tried to connect tho tragedy with the Hounds Ditch anarchist bur- glaries, and tho trial was one of the most sensational ever held in Tondon. The mutiiated body of Reron was found on Clappham common early in January. The police theory was that tho victim was a member of the Hounds Ditch crowd, and had been killed for treachery uy hir- - associates. The evidence was wholly circumstan- tial. Morrison, who is a Russian, claimed (hat he spent the evening of the murder at a music hall and the rest of the night at his home. Most of the witnesses were from the "Whitechapol district, and start- ling assertions wore mado on botli sides. A sensation was caused this afternoon when the closing arguments of counsel weie interrupted to admit the testimony of a policeman who declared that his col- leagues had sworn falsely. Morrison made many incriminating ad- missions, and under admitted that he had been several times convicted of burglary. RETIRED PAYMASTER OF THE NAVY IS DEAD SANTA BARBARA, Cal.. March 15.

SYDNEY, C. B., March 15. That the rigorous winter just closing hns caused extreme suffering and probably many deaths among tho people in tho barren Labrador peninsula who have been cut off for months by great ico Holds from the poestblllty of securing food and clothing, is the one fear felt here and in Newfound- land. The last reports, which were received late last fall, said the food supplies were almost exhausted and that nundrcds of tho natives, mainly tisher folk and their families, were on the verge of starvation. Supplies were immediately sent to relieve tho situation then regarded as extreme, but months have passed since then and the stricken Labrador people havo had no help nor has word come to tho outside world as to how they arc faring. Repeated efforts havo been mado to carry succor to the starving people. Ves- sels, laden with supplies of food and clothing, have failed repeatedly to pierce ico tloes which choke the strait of Belle Isle, tho narrow stretch of water which separates Labrador from tho northern coast of Newfoundland. The present misfortunes of tho Labra- dor people had their beginning In the failuro of last season's fishing catch. It was the poorest in years. As a result there was no money on hand to buy food and clothing. A blizzard which swept over Newfoundland and Labrador last week Is bcliovcd to have caused much damage. Tho interior of Newfoundland was completely Isolated for several days, scarcely a telephone and telegraph wire being left standing. A blanket o snow reported In somo places as being from twenty to thirty feet deep, covered most of the colony. COURT REFUSES TO PASS UPON BIG BILLS WASHINGTON. March 15. Justice Gould.

B. Y. U. STUDENTS MAKE
THEIR PROTEST PUBLIC
Continued From Page One. investigation, if for no other reason than we stand for fair play and toleration of the beliefs of all men? Is not this our missionary watchword?
We are convinced that nothing can be gained by excluding these subjects from our college, since every man or woman who goes east or west to colleges of high rank must face the questions. We believe that we should provide for him to meet them here under circumstances that will assist him in making for sane, conservative, and logical adjustment.
We have just reached the point in our educational career as a college where our work is being recognized by up-to-date universities. This recognition means considerable to us educationally and to our hopes as a church of wielding an influence among humanity. If the proposed restrictions are adopted, it needs only common foresight to foretell the effect upon our credit abroad.
Those of us who have had work under the men who are being criticised are unanimous in denying the alleged evil effects of their teachings.
They are all leaders in their respective lines. They are eminently successful as teachers, and for our present needs we consider them to be without peers. Aside from our appreciation of their scholarship, we have the highest respect for their integrity as men and as loyal members of the Church.
Need of Such Courses
Those of us who have had missionary experience realize the need of just such a course as we are now getting now to enable us to defend the truth against all comers. While we are free to admit that in the new light some points of doctrine, as we have understood them, lose their former color, we see a deeper meaning in life than before, additional evidence of an all-wise God, and a new and holier significance in the message of Mormonism and all other revelations of God to man.
It is not simply a question of dropping the professors who have been criticised, but we believe that the proposed policy, if persisted in, can amount to nothing else than a death-blow to our college work, because it is impossible to secure men equal in scholarship to the ones we have, who are so thoroughly in sympathy with the Church, who do not give credence to the same objectionable theories.
We have great faith in the Church and we can hardly imagine that any policy contrary to its best needs will be adopted, but we ask you to consider what the proposed restriction would mean for us educationally, and what it would mean to our critics, and what it would mean to our standing in the educational world. Some of our fondest hopes have been for the future of the ‘dear old B. Y. U.’- that it would continue to grow and continue to adapt itself to the growing needs of humanity and demonstrate to the world, as only that can demonstrate, that Mormonism is a real, vitalized divine institution.

MORPHINE RELIEVED PAIN
THE GREAT KIDNEY REM--
'
EDY RESTORES TO
HEALTH.
For" the past few years I suffered
greatly from what three physicians
called neuralgia, of tho stomach. The
doctors treated me without any success
and I called in a fourth doc'tor, who
pronounced my diseaso gall stones.
1
suffered intense pnin and the only re-
lief the doctor could give me was by in-
jections of morphine.
I was so com-
pletely discouraged that I had almost
given up hope when a neighbor told me
about Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Roo -
t.
I de-
cided to try it and began its use at
once, and after taking nine JjoCtles was
completely cured, not having a spell of
sickness in over two years.
T have so much confidence in Swamp-Roo-
t
that T never fail to recommend it
to my friends who ma' have kidney
trouble of any kind. I feel certain that,
Dr. Kilmer's"
Swamp-Roo-

saved my
life; why should it not do likewise to
others who take it in time?
