Board of Education Committee.
NO AGREEMENT REACHED
DISCUSS SALE OF EXPOSITION
GROUNDS FRUITLESSLY.
IF THE board of education secures the

IF THE board of education secures the
old exposition grounds, commonly
called the Tenth ward square. for
high school purposes. it will have to
pay much higher figure than was
heretofore supposed. The price at
which the city now holds the property
is $4,000 An offer to sell for that
amount was made yesterday at a meet
ing between the committee on buildings
and grounds Of the board of educa-
ton and the committee on public
grounds of the city council. Mayor
Thompson and Land and Water Com
missioner Westerfield were also pres
ent on behalf Of the city.
The bail opened by Mr.. Giauque,
chairman of the school board commit
tee, asking the city council committee
to set a price on the square. Mayor
/ Thompson and COuncilmen Hewlett
and Eardley were then heard, TO the
effect that the city's finances were so
closely appropriated that the city
would have to get the best figure pos
sible for the property. II was their
J opinion that il was worth at least
1 $50, 900, and that this sum could be
obtained for it if sold for residence
| purposes. However, subject 70 con-
| irmation by the council. they felt dis
! posed to offer it to the board of educa-
( ton for S45, 600 the board to give its
answer at the first meeting of the cOun-
/ ell in March. and to have until June
/ to close the matter up.
Say Money is Needed.
| Added to this, Mayor Thompson said
1 that the city had settled the Farley
/ canyon conduit suit with the express
understanding among the members OF
| the council that the block would be
and the $4,000 paid to the state for
relinquishing the block. Attention was
/ also called to the fact that the city
would have to pay the Rio Grande
! Western Railway company $1,000 for
/ moving its tracks from the southeast
| eTn part of the city.
/ President Newman of the board COM
/ mittee said that he didn't believe the
/ board should go TO Specializing in real
| estate. and that it might be better Il
/ pay a higher price later for a site
when it would be needed worse than
now, and when the people would be
! in better condition to make the pur-
4 chase. 1t was also suggested that the
! board might sell the Thirteenth ward
! property, 107 feet frontage on Second
/ South street. just east of the Grand
/ theatre. for nearly enough to pay foi
/ the Tenth ward property.
Nelden is Disappointed.
Mr.. Nelden of the board committee
| expressed disappointment at the atti-
| tUGe of the city. He had hoped, hi
! said, that the council would be able e
see its way clear to help the schools
| as they were doing more for the city
than any other institution in it.
After some further discussion which
did not tend to change the status o.
| the matter. the meeting adjourned witt
] the understanding that the board o
/ education would take the matter up a
| its next meeting. with a view to reach
| ing a decision in the premises.

MORE RIGID DIVORCE LAWS
Wealthy Citizens of Chicago Send a
Petition.

Chicago, Feb. 17.-Nine of the wealth
lest and most influential citizens Of
Chicago have sent TO the senate,
through Senator CullOm, a petition ask
ing for uniform and more rigid divorce
laws in all the states Of the Union.
The names signed to the petition are
A. A. Sprague. Marshall Field. Robert
T. Lincoln, John c. yelling, Cyrus H.
Mccormick, A. G. Bartlett Clarence
Buckingham, George Grosscup and F.
s. Winston.
The aim is, first. to secure statistics
covering the period between 1887 and
the present time. No figures are at
hand which show the number of di-
voTces granted during that period and
for what causes.
The sense of the petition is to secure
some action on the part of the senate
so that an appropriation may be made
/ for the purpose of compiling such sta
/ tistics When these are once placed
| before the public, it is declared. legis-
lation against laxity of divorce laws
will be comparatively easy.

pleted, and a fine route has been found
the greater part of the distance. Al
though a mountainous country must be
traversed much of the distance. the
heaviest grade so far necessary at any

fifty-three feet to the mile, or about

The maps now on file in the Office of
Chief Engineer Henry HawgOod in Los
Angeles indicate that the road between

approximately 500 miles in length. OF
this, 600 miles has been surveyed. The

DECIDE AGAINST SALT LAKE.
Union Pacific oficials Repeat Former
Announcement.

Omaha. Neb.. Feb. 17-Oficials of
the Union Pacific road have decided
adversely to the proposition of a COM
mittee of the salt Lake Commercial
club TO have that road build its cutoff
across the southern instead of the
northern end of Great salt lake.
The committee had a meeting with
the officials last week. but final de-
cision has been withheld pending the
return to this city of President Burt.
II is explained by the company that
the northern route will cut off sixty
seven miles on the transcontinentaI
line and that for this reason the road
would not be justified in running by
way Of Salt Lake.

DEAF MuTES PLAY FAST BALL
Played Tie Game With Wilmington A.
A. Team at South Side Park
Saturday

The best game of football Of the sea-
son was played at South Side Park on
Saturday between the deaf mutes from
Mt. Airy, Pa, and the Wilmington A.
A. teams. At the close of the game the
score was 8 to 5.
Although the local team was much
heavier than the visitors, they were far
superior in team work, and Whining
ton showed painful lack of practice.
The work of Coffield at quarterback
was the finest ever seen in this city,
his accurate passing and line hucking
being greatly admired.
The deaf mutes were badly handl-
capped by their having TO receive their
signals from the fingers Of the cap
tain, but they played snappy game
such as lovers OF the sport like to
witness.
The crowding upon the field by the
spectators in the second half was dis
courteous TO the visiting team in the
extreme, and the mutes were prevented
from gains by them. No officers were
there to prevent them, intruding upon
the rights of the players. Several
funny things happened during the
game. an example of which was one
little fellow who started to run up the
field, where the ball was in play, turil-
inc around caEed out, Say DAVE
come up and hear the dummies roo1lh
on their fingers" Instead OF wnlsIle
the umpires used a handkerchief, whlcn
they moved when the ball was down.
