9sANNuAL SELECTION
Of a Manager for Athletic Association
" Marvin Stone Chosen.

According to the usual custom. the
College Athletic Association held its
annual winter session Saturday fore
noon. At this meeting, which is al
ways called after the foot ball season
is ended the Treasurer presents his
report Of the Associations financial
standing for the year and a man
ager for the succeeding foot ball season
is chosen.
Newton Buck. Treasurer of the AS
sociation, read an itemized statement
of the seasons debts and credits. The
report shows that the periodic deficit,
which for the past four or five years
has been the great problem which the
different managers have been forced to
meet with some provision, generally Of
a temporary nature, is fully as large as
it was last year. This state of affairs
is largely due to losses which resulted
from playing games on the home
grounds. The attendance has been
very meagre during the entire season
and for every game played in Marietta
the management were compelled to in
crease their deficit column. In order to
reimburse the Association a number Of
entertainments will probably be given.
The nominating committee recon-
mended the selection of Marvin Stone,
'O2, for the position of business man
ager during the next foot ball season.
Stone was elected by a unanimous
note. The new manager will have d
knotty problem to solve in reducing
the deficit. Grounds near the. central
part of the city and an up-to-date
coach are two imperative wants that
should be supplied. 1t is to be hoped
that both of these can be provide dfol

FIREALARM SYSTEM
Some Changes Suggested Before Fire CON-
mittee Of CITY Council,

Mr.. Wells Chandlee, of Richmond,
Ind, was in the city Friday and Sat
urday in the interest of the Gamwell
Fire Alarm Telegraph Company, of Ft.
Wayne, Ind.
There has been considerable srecula-
tion as to the changes that will be
made in our fire alarm system. The
city is greatly in need Of more alarm
boxes and it is quite probable that
considerable change will be made in
the near future. 1t is probable that
several new boxesIwill be placed at
points in the city and that the West
Side will be furnished with gong and
indicator 1t was suggested at the
last meeting of the Fire committee of
the City Council, Friday night, that
the fire alarm system be changed in
two ways. One change was to be from
that of the battery system to that of a
system supplied with a current from
the city's lighing plant. The present
system of, batteries cost about $3.50 to
keep uD The new system will cost
about $500 to get in order, but when
once arranged it will cost practically
nothing to keep up. Another suggested
change was from that of the present
system of two divisions to one of four
sections or divisions. More definite
action will be taken in the matter very
soon, however.

Kentucky Dispute.

Louisville. Ky, Feb. l3.-The first
sign OF break in the Democratic lines
was noticeable today. It came in the
shape Of a resolution offered by Sena-
tor Triplett providing that upon ad-
tournment Thursday the legislature
name Frankfort as It's next meeting.
place. While no action upon the reso-
luton was taken today 1t is believed
TO foreshadow a return Of the Demo-
cratic legislators to the statehouse
soon. possibly at the end OF the week.
This action will probably be taken
when a report is received from the
committee sent TO Frankfort, upon con-
diuons as 20 the presence about the
capital Of the militia or armed men.
and 10 the advlslabllity Of resuming
sessions at the usual meeting place
This is rendered more likely. as the de-
fection occurred in the senate. where
the Democrats have a bare working
quorum.

business at Frankfort in prospect and

While admitting that the uitlanders had
claims which deserved recognition. he
also expressed sympathy with the Beers
and declared strongly against militar-
ism IN Canada.
Mr.. Monet OiberaD opposed the reso-
buttons. He said that Canada had moth

should have taken no part In II. and
she would not have anything 20 do with
the indemnity that would be obtained.
CALL 1T A MENACE.
London. Feb. l4.-The news Of the
day is the enforced retirement Of the
British from Colesberg district under
heavy Boer pressure, and probably
after brisk fighting. Thus, at a time
when Lord Roberts Is apparently able
TO push an army into the Free State,
the Beers make counter stroke In
unknown but seemingly great force, not
far from the vital line OF railway con-
Meeting De Aar and Orange river.
Military observers do not regard this
as more than a menace. Nevertheless.
the news produces an unpleasant i'm
preston here. Gen. French had ma
neuvered the Beers out Of Rensberg In
December. on January LIST Il was re-
ported that he could take Colesberg In
two DAYS with achievements. These
were sent, but the Beers were also re-
lnforced. Since then the British lines
have been extended east and west, so
that at the opening OF this week they
constituted a great horseshoe, twenty
five miles In length. The lines were
not contiguous, but all the strong posi-
lions were held.
THREATENS ROBERTS CoMMuNI-
CATIONS.
Gen. French. when he Joined Lord
Roberts. presumably took most OF his
cavalry. Gen. Clements was left with
the infantry TO hold the Beers In check.

A number Of correspondents who have
