The board has decided to send a COMMITTEES

Last Wednesday the board was assembled
in New York City BY Pat Powers, its chair
man and president Of the Eastern league.
II was reported that peace has been es-
tablished everywhere in the country save
out on the west coast, and II was decided
that the only logical move was TO make
the truce ~A1l-embracing and TO bring mat
tiers to an amieable settlement there as
well. This was attempted BY wire, bat

one. 80 the board decided to take 1t up in

BASKET BALL At HIGH SCHOOL
Teams ractie Hard and Develop
Much Kill at the SIREN
uous Game.

The pupils Of the Omaha High school
have taken 4 great interest in basket ball
this season. and as a result there have
been many candidates for the first team
At the beginning Of the season there were
twenty-five boys out trying 10 make the
team. but later on the ten most promising
ones were selected md divided into two
teams. the first and second.
The teams are being coached by Captain
Ben Cherrington, who also plays left for
ward. He is an old man AZ the game and
makes q very good coach Under his train
ing the team has advanced very rapidly.
Most Of the candidates for the team at
the beginning Of the season were new
men at the game. To make & good team
out OF such raw material as this meant
q great deal Of training and hard work.
Captain Cherrington realized this and soon
had the men hard at work. They prAc-
ticed four nights a week. three nights in
the High school gymnasium and once
At the Young Mems Christian association.
The result Of this work and careful train
ing was to produce the best team tina the
High school has ever had Captain Cher
rington himself. who has played on the
team for the last three years. says that
this team Is the strongest and fastest that

Lincoln High school team in GermAniA hall

The Only Thing Sure
About Sap Extension
Is That 1t Will Be in Operation
Within Two Years-From
Alice TO Hidalgo.
Corpus Christi Crony:

Corpus Christi Crony:
R. w. Stayton was here Tuesday
night, on his way from the Rio
Grande to San Antonio. He was
one of the party of S. A. & A. P.
railway officials who made the
right of way prospecting trip to
Brownsville and Hidalgo. The
other magnates were President C.
r. Hudson, Vice-President and
General Manager NJ. D. Monserrate
and Chief Engineer f. E. Harda-
way. Pat Furlong of Corpus
Chris was Chief of Staff during
the reconnaissance and will remain
with the company in a good posi-
ton. The comfort of the party was
well cared for, Aaron Pruitt being
in charge Of the cookery depart
ment. The route pursued was in
the form of a figure s and covered
a fine stretch OF country in Hidalgo
county that awaits the awakening
whistle of the locomotive. Mr..
Stayton had much to say about the
pleasures of the trip and the open
hospitality of the various hosts
visited, but was non-committal on
the point of where the line will be
located. He said the final report
of this prospecting trip would be
made by Mr.. Hardaway, and the
route for the road thereafter decid-
ed. The only thing that seems to
be sure about the Sap extension is
that it will De in operation within
two years and will principally be
in Hidalgo county. 1t may go
from Alice direct to Hidalgo and
thence to Brownsville.

outfits came from New Mexico and
Oklahoma and more of them are
on the way to be put to work as
soon as they arrive. Our contract
with the Kirby Lumber Company
for about 100000 ties calls for their
delivery at the junction with the
Tex.-Mex., so | cannot say how the
ties and lumber will be transported.
That is the business of the
lumber people. believe, however,
that barges and boats are being
secured and that the delivery will
be made over Corpus Christi whar-
YES and the Tex.-Mex. Under the
contract, the shipment of ties should
be started by this time. Our con-
tract with Pittsburg mills for 5000
tons Of 65-pound steel rails calls
for shipments 10 begin September
l, and to continue ut the rate of
5000 tons per month. A mile Of
track requires about 100 tons of the
rails. OF course, just as soon as
the rails ale received and laid, loco
motives and cars will be put in
operation to carry material TO the

The New President of the University.

All the information at hand strength
ems the hope that the election of Pro-
fessor Babcock to the presidency of
the territorial university Will prove APP
probably beneficial to that institution.
The new president comes highly re-
commended by responsible people in the
business world as we'll as by famous
educators. and these recommendations
seem justified by a record most excel
lent in itself President Babcock won
high honrs at Harvard. and has proved
himself q practical educator. If, in
addition to his known qualities. he
shall show good tact and executive
ability, and shall manifest determin-
alton at all times to be really president
of the university, We may expect a
rapid Improvement all around
President Babcock should know-and
we believe he does know-how uni
versity should be conducted. He knows.
therefore, that the university of Ari-
coma cannot be placed high in the re-
spect of the people unless standards
are adopted and rigidly followed which
will exclude all semblance of politics.
To be exact. if the new president ex-
poets success, he must make it clear
that he will not tolerate petty annoy
ances or any form of interference from
the board of regents. no matter how
fully convinced he may be concerning
the good intentions of the board. The
law contemplates that the board of
regents should merely manage the bust
ness end of the university. and all
practice confirms the soundness of the
principle. When the regents are per-
mitted to assume the duties Of the fac
ulty, and especially of the president,
it is inevitable that the university will
sink to the level of a ''deestrick skule''
dominated by fussy and offcious direc-
tors.
The territorial university must be
made something more than high
school for Tucson. If proper discipline
be enforced. and if the institution have
a head which will command confidenc"
and respect throughout the territory,
there is no reason why the attendance
should not become several times great
err than it is Instead of the scant hum
dred students now enrolled. there should
be five or six hundred-and there will
be If the people of Arizona become as
sured that their sons and daughters
will receive the protection, attention
and instruction which the university
should give.
And we believe that President Bah
cock is the right man for the place.

The Practical Value of Wireless Tel
egraDhy

The maneuvers of the warships off
the coast of Maine have been chiefly
of interest to the navy, of course. as
the public does not follow very closely
the details of mimic war measures, but
it is interesting to the whole country
to know that Rear Admiral Barker,
commanding the american" fleet. was
envy commanded by Rear Admiral
Sands, because of information received
by wireless message. The Olympia.
doing scout duty, discovered that the
SQUADRON of the enemy" was making
for Frenchmans Bay. and the fog was
SO heavy that a landing would have
been effected had not Rear Admiral
Coghlan sent q message through the
air to the defending fleet warning it
of the movements of the invaders.
Shortly after sending this message the
Olympia itself was captured by the
enemy" but the information Coghlan
had been able to send more than offset
the capture and destruction of his
cruiser, for within j few hours after
ward the entire fleet of the enemy
was captured by Barker.
This is the first time that wireless
biography has been of substantial ser
vice in naval maneuvers, no:withstand-
ing the experiments which have been
made with the system for several years
by European navies. Only last year
for instance in the maneuvers of the
British fleet, the defending squadron
was placed at an actual disadvantage
by the use of wireless messages. The
enemy intercepted and read the mes
sages, and sent messages of its own
into the air, which made such a con-
rusing mixture that intelligent COM
munication between the various ships
of the defending squadron was made
impossible This was due to the ability
of the "enemy" to read all the messages
that were going through the air. and
it was a practical illustration of the
inefficency of wireless biography when
any instrument can catch the messages
sent by another.
