The Missing Student and President
Selim-man’s Statement.
ITHACA, N. Y., Feb. Eli—The closest in-
vestigation among the university authori-
ties as well as at police headquarters fails
to disclose any important developments in
the freshmen’s banquet tragedy. If a stu—
dent stands ready, as reported, to make a
clean breast of the matter, his fellow cul-
prits have prevented him from doing so,
and he has not come forward to make the
expected statement.
A reporter called on Mr. Taylor of Cook
street, who was reported to have left town
with Mr. Dingens. He stated that he had
not been absent from the city, but that his
chum, C. L. Dingens, who by the way is
registered as a sophomore at Cornell, was
called to Syracuse to meet his sister, whom
he was to escort to New York city.
A New Theory.
Joseph Dingens Of Buffalo, the young
man’s father, was in town, and when ques-
tioned as to his son’s connection with the
banquet afi’air said he could vouch for his
innocence and believed that in time he
would be fully vindicated. It is rumored
that he has engaged counsel.
A new theory is being agitated as to the
source of the gas supply. A prominent
chemist in the university said yesterday
afternoon that the stationing of the jug in
the lower room must have been a hoax and
that the finding of two glass tubes in the
ceiling of the provision room necessarily
proves that the gas came from above in-
stead Of below. He states further that the
gas is much heavier than air and that in
falling and striking the upper current of
the air it would be difiused about the room,
while if forced up from below it would re-
main in a vertical position on account of
the power under it.
The arrested students were tried Satur-
day and were let ed by fines of $4 and 37.
Official Friction.
There seems to be some friction among
the police and civil authorities over the
case. The proposal to hold a public inquest
over the dead body of Mrs. Jackson pro«
voked the district attorney and the more
sagacious of the Officials. A vote was tak-
en by the jury, and they decided to admit
the people. Consequently District Attor-
ney J. H. Jennings has dropped the case
entirely.
Developments in regard to the banquet
are coming in altogether too slowly for the
expectant public. The coroner says he is
doing everything possible to solve the
myster and that he has several clews
which 6 does not deem it wise to have
published at present. One of the juryan
said yesterday that a professor had pro-
posed to have every sophomore examined
verbally, but this appears much too cum-
bersome a. task, as there are about 200 in
the university. The prolonged absence of
C. L. Dingens has attracted public sus-
picion. A reporter called at his house last
evening and learned that he had not yet re-
turned, but the landlady asserted that he
is expected back soon. Letters from the
alumni are pouring in lamenting the af-
faiir and urging decisive action by the fac-
u t .
yPresident Schurman’s Statement. .
President Schurman says in reference tn
the announcement by Senator Henry I.
Coggeshall that he will introduce a. resolu-
tion in the legislature providing for a legis-
lative inquiry unless more efficient meas-
ures are taken here that he believed th at
the report of laxity on the part of the po
lice was untrue.
Speaking for the university, President
Schurman declared that the investigation
will be continued and the criminals speed
The faculty, he
says, has drawn up resolutions condemn-
ing the crime and offering to co-Operate
with the civil authorities, and no ideas of
suppression are entertained.
Murderer Higgins Disgusted.
CHICAGO, Feb. 26.—-When Thomas Hig-
gins, sentenced to be hanged on March 23
next, was informed that Prendergast was
sentenced to be hanged on the same date,
he was disgusted. “I have a notion to com-
mit suicide,” said Higgins. ”Somehow or
other I can’t appreciate the fellow. Per-
haps I am obtuse. Anyway, if I am al-
lowed any voice in the matter I shall not
line up on the scaffold with the man who
killed Carter Harrison.”

Carter For McKinley. _
CHICAGO, Feb. 26.——Chairman Carter of

The President Riled Over Sensational
Talk About His Health.
N EVERABETTER IN' HIS LIFE.
He Says the Reports to the Contrary Are
Lies Evolved In the Stupid Brains
of Mondacious' Correspondents,
\Vlio Desire to Annoy Him.
WASHINGTON, Feb. ‘26.——Your corre-
spondent had an interview with President
Cleveland Saturday evening at the execu-
tive mansion in reference to the sensational
reports that have been circulated in some ,
of the newspapers for the past two or three
days to the eifect that the president was
suflering severely from a serious malady
and that he was about to have a surgical
operation performed similar to the one
that was alleged to have been performed
some time ago while he was on board Mr.
Benedict’s yacht Oif Buzzard’s bay.
The president is highly incensed over the
circulation of the story, and during the in-
terview he took no pains to conceal his in—
dignation and anger toward the newspa‘
per men who are said to be responsible for
the highly colored pictures of the suffer-
ing and misery he is said to have endured
and which were to be terminated by the
application of the surgeon’s knife.
Cleveland’s Statement.
Concerning these reports the president
said: “I have been engaged every day in
my Office on public business and have every
day seen the people who called-senators,
representatives and others. Nothing would
have been easier than to ascertain the ab-
solute falsity of these reports. I am forced
to conclude that there is an epidemic of
mendacity emanating from the dull and
stupid brains of some of these correspond-
ents.
‘ “These men must be influenced either by
a desire to deceive the public or to annoy
those afiected by their disreputable work.
Those who read newspapers should under-
stand the extent to which their credulity
is calculated upon.”
When your representative entered the
president’s business office at the \Vhite
House Saturday evening, he found Mr.
Cleveland and Secretary Thurber engaged
in clearing the desk of the accumulation
of public business.
Never Locke (1 Better.
Mr. Cleveland never looked better in his
life. His eye was bright, his color good
and his voice hearty and strong. During
the day he received a large number of call-
ers in his Office, and at 1:15 p. m. shook
hands with 350 people in the eastroom.
At 4 o’clock he drove about the city for
more than an hour in an open carriage, and
at night he was hard at work at his desk,
where he remained until long after mid-
night. This night was no exception to the
general rule.
It can be said with perfect assurance that
all reports to the effect that the president
is not in good health are entirely without
foundation.
Members of the cabinet who were spoken
to on the subject said that they had no
knowledge of any trouble with the presi-
dent’s health.
For Pennsylvania Brokers.
PITTSBURG, Feb. 20,—A matter of great
importance to all brokers of whatsoever
kind in Pennsylvania has just been decided
by Attorney General Hensel by which all
brokers are liable to a payment of 3 per
cent tax on their net profits. The bill fix-
ing this tax was passed in 1861, but up to
the present time has never been enforced.
However, the decision of Attorney General
Hensel, which includes real estate, iron
and steel, grain and all kinds Of brokers,
insists that the tax must be paid.
Richard’s Awful Crime.
JERSEY CITY, Feb. 26.—-“What is the
charge?” inquired Justice Kimmerly of
Policeman O’Neill, who had arrested a
man. “Your honor,” the officer said grave-
ly, “I caught this man looking for work
on Belmont avenue.” “That isn’t a crime!”
said the justice sharply. “His arrest was——
was stupidity, to say the least of it.” The
prisoner, Gardner Richards, 30 years old,
was promptly discharged.
Post Almost Helpless.
CAMDEN, N. J., Feb. 20.—Henry Post of
309 Summit street, this city, Who is suf.
fering from an attack of hiccoughs,isvery
