J. H. Harris, a senior mechanic at the University of California, who was caught stealing from his fellow students, confessed when brought into court Tuesday and was fined $40 for petty larceny. As soon as the fine had been paid, Harris left the court room and took a train to San Francisco, where he caught a boat for China. It is believed that Harris ran away to avoid defending himself on several other charges that were being prepared against him.
Stanford defeated California in the annual debate last Saturday at San Francisco. The question was, "Resolved, That the Interstate Commerce Commission shall be given power to fix and enforce railroad rates." Stanford contended for the affirmative. By winning this debate—the third in succession—the Hearst cup, offered in 1903, becomes the permanent property of Stanford University. The winning team also divided $100, offered as a prize by George C. Ross of Belmont.

SIGMA CHIS VIGTORIOUS.
Win First Debate for Ewing Herbert Cud.
The Sigma Chis, represented by Paul J. Wall, won the first annual inter-frat. debate for the Ewing Herbert trophy, in a very interesting debate in the chapel Monday evening, The Phi Gamma Deltas, represented by Geo T. Guernsey, jr., was the only other contestant.
The Alpha Tau's had intended to contest, and their representative was to have opened the discussion, "The best interests of society demand the maintenance of the open shop." They found it impossible to contest, however, and Mr. Gu rasey opened the debate. Although placed at a disadvantage by the unexpected change of position, he made a very able defense of the open shop.
Paul Wall followed for the Sigma Chi's, and made a splendid speech for the negative. He has a pleasing appearance on the platform, and a very easy, forcible delivery in every respect. The judges, Professors Sisson, Becker and Lawrence decided that the general effect of his argument was superior to the affirmative speaker, and the trophy was awarded to the Sigma Chi fraternity.
Next year it is hoped to interest a larger number of the fraternities in the debate. The fraternity winning the cup three successive years, keeps it as its own property.

Famous Old Windmill Destroyed by Fire.
The old Dutch windmill which has stood on the hill west of town for the last fifty years was totally destroyed by fire early Sunday evening. A half-drunken tramp had been smoking in the top of the old mill, and by carelessness set the structure on fire. He went across the street to the home of O. E. Learnard, who owned the mill, and asked for a bucket of water to put out the fire. The fire department was called but was unable to check the flames.
The mill was first built in 1863, and was burned by Quantrell on August 23 of that year. It was rebuilt the following year and was operated continuously until 1885. The mill was octagon shaped, four stories high, was equipped with two sets of mill stones, and cost about $9,000.
Farmers came for a hundred miles around to have their little "grists" of corn and wheat ground in the early days of the state. The old windmill has been an honored landmark for years and its disappearance leaves a blank in the tradition of Lawrence and of the University which cherished an almost proprietary interest in it.
MANDOLIN CLUB CONCERT.
The Spring Concert of the Mandoiin club occurred in chapel Tuesday evening. Although the club has dimnished somewhat in quantity it has not in quality for the eleven men played their pieces with a vim and compactness that bespoke hard practice.
The musical glass musicians and the phenomenal juggler were rather unfortunate in the fact that owing to numerous flies and rapid evaporation some of the water in the glasses mysteriously disappeared causing certain clashes of tones while the chapel rostum was so hollow that at each one of the jugglers cough drops, the air resounded with monstrous sounds.
The "hits" of the evening were the
"7th Concerto">...De Beriot

K. U. Medley...McReynolds The medley was a combination of University songs, as Dixie, Mining Engineers Song, Rock Chalk Song, Engineers Ramble Song and Crimson and the Blue.
