In response 10 this recommendation
Judge Henderson said that similar re

Judge Henderson reviewed the lawless-

nation that the same persons who had

DEATH OF DR.. DAVIS
WAS NOT A SUICIDE
Well-Known Surgeon Drawn Acciden-
tally Under Meving Train.

A dispatch from Birmingham. Ala, IN
The Times OF February . announced
that DR.. w. z. p. Davis. one OF the best
known surgeons OF the South. had taken
his life BY throwing himself underneath
the last coach OF a fast moving passen-
ger train at one Of the street crossings
IN Birmingham. Since the publication
Of that dispatch The Times has received
intelligence from Birmingham TO the ef-
feet that Or. Davis death was not a
suicide. but purely accidental.
A coroner's inquest was held over the
remains the day after the accident and
the verdict was the deceased had come
70 bis death by being drawn under the
wheels OF the last coach. It was re-
garded rather remarkable at the time OF
his death that he should have committed
suicide. and the theory gained credence
with only few persons who did not
know the eminent surgeon intimately.
The coroner. in returning a verdict OF
accidental death, declared he had found
nc evidence whatever TO show that the
deceased had ever entertained any idea
OF thought o. self-destruction.

ATHLETIC GROUNDS FOR
HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
General Harries Charged by Board Of
Education to Obtain Them

At the melting OF the Board Of Fduca-
tion held last night in Franklin school
building. representatives OF the athletic
committees Of the several high schools
and manual training schools introduced
the proposition that steps be taken to
procure an athletic ground for the use
OF the school baseball and football
teams. The necessity OF obtaining suit
able grounds for the exclusive use OF
the schools has been repeatedly brought
home 10 the athletic committees. Dur
ing past seasons all OF the school con-
tests have taken place on athletic fields
hired for the occasion
The school teams have never yet had
permanent grounds for practice. always
a serious handicap in the preparation for
the final championship contests. For IL
is in the long months OF practice that
championship is won or lost rather
than in the final struggle The business
OF obtaining a field has been turned over
10 Gen. George II. Harries. vice presi-
dent OF the Board OF Education. who
has manifested great interest in the
matter.
General Harries mentioned two pos
siOllltes for an athletic field-the old
National League Park, at Florida Ave
nue. and Seventh Street. and the bicycle
track on the Cabin John Bridge Road
The great drawback to both OF these
helds is the expense necessary 10 put
them In proper repair. II is important
to keep the expense down, because no
appropriation has been made for a school
athletic field and whatever is done must
be covered by private contributions or
money by school entertainments given
TO aid athletics.
