still considering estimates on the needs
Of the navy which are to be submitted
to the President before the opening of

vile language :n the presence of the
wife OF another officer.
Lieutenant Murtaugh has been found
guilty OF misappropriation OF the funds
of the company to which he was at

left Cuba without leave of absence and
cut a wide swath from New York TO
Chicago.
Knudson was found guilty OF frauds
against the laws regulating the conduct
Of commissary officers. The amounts
are not large, but the violations are
considered serious.
Foley's troubles were also OF a fnan-
cial character.
Ala these officers have had compara-

COLUMBIAN NEEDS
STILL MORE GROUND
Van Ness Estate Not Suffi-
cient, Says Needham.
OTHER OPTIONS SECURED
Scheme for Enlargement of University
Looking to the Needs of Future
Generations.

The sale of the Van Ness estate to
Columbian University will be consum-
mated within a few days after October
S. 1t is said by President Needham. who
returned TO his Office yesterday morning
from his vacation in Newport. that
since the purchase of the estate IL ha s
been found the property will not meet
the demands of improvements lnd en-
largements as planned for a Greater
Columbian" and for this reason il has
become necessary to purchase additional
lands. While President Needham would
not reveal the location Of these recent
purchases. he said options had been Sc
cured and deposits made pending their
occupation. Mr.. Needham did say. how
ever. that the tracts were in easy access
to the Van Ness grounds and that they
will be entirely convenient for he new
university building.
Plan of Procedure.
Under date of August an order was
issued by the courts in the Van Ness
litigation TO show cause why the offer of
Columbia University should not be ac-
cepted and the estate sold to the uni
versity. This order is effective for sixty
days, and If at the expiration of that
period no objection TO the sale has been
interposed the sale will be effected and
the estate pass wholly into the posses
zion OF Columbian. a deposit has hith-
erto held the property, and this will, of
course. be included in the purchase
price
When this has been done, President
Needham says. the board of consulting
architects will be appointed and the
general designs and materials for the
new buildings decided upon With the
general plans completed. one or two ar
chitects will be chosen for the final
work OF preparing detailed plans for the
first building. Following this will come
the awarding Of the contract and tbs
laying of the cornerstone.
Will Make Haste Slowly.
President Needham said yesterday an
abundance of time was to be taken in
the development of future plans. Real
izing the complications which generally
ensue from a too hasty selection OF
plans, he said plans looking to an al
most indefinite enlargement Of the uni
vcrsity would be arranged He said
future generations would not be prompt
ed to say that the present Columbian
management was too hasty and lacked
care and foresight in its selection of
plans for It's buildings.
The president said at present the au-
thorities were busy preparing for the
opening OF the college term. and pending
the contamination Of the Van Ness deal
nothing would be done looking toward
Greater Columbian" The enroll
ment for the coming term has been
gratifying and large. and President
Needham is enthusiastic as to Colum-
bian's future. When college matters are
gotten under control, and the season we'll
under way. the president xill devote
the best part of his time TO the plans
for the enlargement of the college.

B0WLERS MEET
IN INDIANAPOLIS.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 21.-Tenpin
players from all over the country are
gathering in Indianapolis to take part
in the bowling championship of the
United States, which begins Monday,
to continue all week. From Toledo, ST.
Paul, st. Louis, Kansas City, Column
bus, Des Moines, Erie, Pa, Louisville,
Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Chicago, New
York and numerous other places the
alley men are swarming in, to compete
for the many prizes offered and enroll
themselves as guests of the Indianapo-
lis Bowling Association, host for the
championship tournament. The hottest
kind of competition is looked for in all
the events, five-men, two-men and in
dividual. Close followers of the game
predict that no better figures will be
scored than have been made in pre-
vious competitions. None of the COM
petitors are to be allowed to practice
upon the tournament alleys. All of
these conditions will initiate against
high scoring.
Sessions of the American Bowling
Congress, controlling organization of
the game, will be held, and when the
election of new officers and the selec-
ton of a city for the next annual
championship come up a fight is looked
for.

Patti has written to friend in this
country confirming the report that she
will sing sixty concerts in America
commencing next November, for each
of which she will receive $4,000 and 80
per cent. of the excess of gross re-
ceipts above $500 at each one. She
states that she will sing but two arias
and not more than two encores at
each concert, and will not appear in
scenes from any of the operas.
With the appearance here of Nine.
Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler, the cele-
brated pianiste, but three weeks off,
the interest in the recital is increasing.
Nine. Zeisler is the greatest American
pianist of any time, and is received
with tremendous ovations wherever
she plays. Born in Chicago, she has
made her way 70 the topmost notch of
success, and has earned a reputation,
not only in this country, but abroad.
She is the peer of Carreno and Hof-
mann, both of whom have been heard
here recently at the Lawton Memorial,
and by many she Is considered to have
a delicacy and warmth of touch SUI
perior to either. Her recital here will
be on March II, and will be the third of
the artist concerts of the Music Club
this season. The largest audience
that has attended any of the artist
concerts was when Hofmann played
here last March. and the chances are
that an even larger one viii hear
Zeisler. AS in the case of Campanari

South for this one engagement, giving
the people of Savannah AIN opportu-
nifty of hearing her that will be en-

WITH MUSICIANS
AND MUSICAL PEOPLE.

One of the most attractive and en-
joyable vocal numbers given at the
Music Club this season was the cava-
tina, 20 Milo Fernando" from La Fa-
vorita, sung by Mrs. N. ]. Ackermann
last Thursday evening. Mrs. Acker-
man sang in finished and artistic
manner. and her full rich voice was
thoroughly equal to the demands of
the number. She has studied with Mr.
F. E. Rebarer during the last four
years, and will leave next Tuesday for
New York where for the next few
months she will continue her studies
with the additional advantage of the
musical atmosphere that that city Of
fers. During this season Mrs. Acker-
man mas filled several concert engage
1nents in cities adjacent to Savannah,
chief of which have been one in Jack
sonville in December, and one in Beau
fort the early part of this month. In
the latter place her programme COM
prised the cavatina from La Favorita,
Gounod's "Sing, Smile, Slumber," with
violin obligato, and a group of three
ballads. Mrs. Ackerman's absence
from musical circles here during the
balance of this season will be notice.
able, and her many friends and adj
mirers will give her warm welcome
upon her return in the fall.
Miss Eleanor Allan who has been
absent from the city for three weeks
on a visit in st. Augustine, Fla. has
returned and resumed her position in
the First Baptist Church choir. Dur
ing her visit she sang at several pri-
vate entertainments as we'll as at Mr..
Flagler's church where she sang the
offertory on two Sundays. Her singing
on each occasion met with warm COM
mendatiOn, and the st. Augustine pa
pers spoke in most iiattering terms Of
the excellence of her work.

AUTOMATIC FOUNTAINS.
A Dozen of Them for Horses VIII be
Installed shortly.


An automatic drinking fountain for
horses and mules, ordered some time
ago by the Committee or Water of
City Council. is expected this week
and will be put up at once. Just where
the fountain will be located has not
been determined upon by the commit
tee.
1t is the idea of Chairman Garfunkel
of this committee to try one fountain,
and If it proves a success to place
twelve in different sections of the city
The automatic fountain selected by the
Water Committee is of the pattern now
in use in New York and other large
cities. 1t has been a success where
ever it has been used. Two horses can
be accommodated at one time and there
is no waste of water. The fountain
never runs over, and there is no stag
nant water or soppy soil to be contend
ed with.
In making UP the budget for the
present year Council appropriated S5OO
for a fountain to be put up on Mont
gomery street and Bay lane. The
Water Committee decided that it would
be wiser to have twelve automatic
fountains in different sections or the
city than to put up one large fountain.
This decision on the part of the mem
bers of the committee was followed by
the ordering of one with double
basin. 1t is expected that the foun-
tains will be ready for use before the
arrival of the dog days and that horses
and mules will be able to secure water
in almost any section OF the city during
the summer
