GRILEY HAS A PLAN.
He Would Cut New Channel for
Shunganunga.

A scheme to divert the waters of the
Shunganunga through a channel con-
structed west of the city is the latest
drainage plan which has been proposed
by Councilman Joseph Griley and which
Assistant City Engineer w. z. King is
now figuring on. The idea is to cut a
channel from Berlin avenue, west of the
Baughrnan ice cream factory and then
run the chenneli directly north and west
of the asylum, taking advantage of a
creek bed which exists there.
It believe that the scheme would be a
good one and that it will not cost to ex-
coed $50, 000," said Mr.. Griley. I'm that
way we will cut out the creek from the
city entirely. We would I'LL up the
creek channel and wouldn't have any
use for it at all. It would mean a great
saving to the city from overhows and
add to the value Of the property"
IT haven't looked into completely yet, -
said Mr.. King. Il will have to take a
series of levels and take a look at the
ground out there before can determine
how much it would cost"

YALE-HARvARD MEET. ::
Big Track Contest Between the Two
Next Saturday.

Kew Haven, Conn. Feb. gales track
athletes face their biggest indoor meet
of the season next Saturday in the an
nuai contest with Harvard at the Boston
A. A games. Yale's relay team of mid
die distance men probably viii be made
up Of Capt. Jack Gates, Burt Parsons
Barry Moore, and J. l.. L Engle.
Yale and Harvard have decided on a
novelty in this meet, sending freshmen
teams for relay contests. Coach John
Mack has been at work on the Yale 1909
material for three weeks, but has not
found it satisfactory. 1t looks as if Yale
would defeat Harvard with its splendid
team of varsity veterans, but would lose
the freshman contest.
YaIe's young pole vauIter, Dry, is likely
to create a new indoor record in the Bos-
ton games. He cracked the record at the
Columbia games a week ago and has done
some sensational work in practice in the
Yale gymnasium during the last week.

Morris Levy's new fighting crganiza-
ton This news was givaE out by Levy
and he says the incor poratiOn papt1s
will be signed as evidsn3e that he IS

When asked the direct question whether
the fights will really be held in Arcadia,
Levy replied in the affirmative, with
qualification that they might even be
'e1oser in evidently meaning in the
city. He would not say whether any
local men were to be in the scheme,
but said two Chicago men of means
were on the list, and if the club went
through Eddie Graney would be the

A GUEST OF MRS. GARDNER.
Battling Nelson Visited the Famous
Fenway Palace, Boston.

Battling Nelson Visited the Famous
Fenway Palace, Boston.
Boston, Feb. Battling Nelson, the
champion prize fighter, was a guest in
Mrs. Jack Gardner's Fenway palace Sat
urday afternoon. The admission which
money cannot buy and. which high So
ciaI position cannot obtain was freely
given to the little gladiator from I1li-
nois. Just what is inside those palace
walls only the elect know. The woman
who has entered lion S cages and done all
sorts of strange feats was not the least
bit afraid OF a prize fighter.
Nelson closed his engagement at the
Howard and decided that on his last
day in town he could afford to take a
little rest and amusement, also instruc-
ton. He could not bear to go away
from Boston without having seen the
Fenway palace. 1t happened that Mrs.
Gardner was slightly indisposed and
could not give the celebrated American
the glad welcome that might otherwise
have been his; but the freedom of the
palace was his and he was free to gaze
and rubber as much as he liked.

came there was none that could aid in
solving the mystery of the dead boy in
the lola cemetery except one which ar
rived within the past week.

boy 1nclOsed was a picture of her son
taken several years ago, with the re-
quest that Mrs. Woodward would see

the picture of her boy and the boy
who was buried. Mrs. Woodward had
a picture of the dead boy which was
taken in FreepOrt, H., short time

features Of the two boys to correspond
in every particular.
The fact that the features are the
same even to the small details makes
mr.. and Mrs. Woodward sure that the
two pictures are Of the same boy and
the dead boy. Mrs. Woodward has
written to Mrs. PEBBLES. saying that
she believes it is her boy that is buried
IN the lola cemetery.

TROUBLES OF sTETsoN.
Trustees Of the University Seem Una
BILE to Agree.

The Savannah News, in comment
ing upon the Stetson University
squabble. has the following article:
1.-The Stetson University is again be-
fore the people of Florida in the shape
of controversy between the MEM
bers of the board of trustees, who are
seeking to find some way for comply
ing with the conditions of the will of
the late John B. Stetson, the founder
and benefactor Of the university to
the extent Of many thousands of dol
lars, members Of the board are charg-
ing one another with spirit of self
ishness and stubbornness.
"In the will of Mr.. Stetson there
appears a bequest of 100000 for the
school, conditional on the resignation
of each and every member of the
board.
"Since the will was made public
there have been efforts to arrive at
some understanding among the trus-
tees so as to receive the donation.
But all attempts to effect an under
standing have failed land it is now
charged that this is due to President
Lincoln Hully, of the university, who
was appointed by Mr.. Stetson over
two years ago, and after the school
had been injured to a great extent
by scandal, in which the name of the
former president and one of the teach
ers of the university figured.
There is little, If any, money in
the fund with which to maintain the
university.
Last winter the teachers were
compelled to wait for months for
their salaries, and there is every rea-
son to, believe that il the university
Is opened this year it will not be up
to the standard of last year, unless
the conditions of the Stetson and Car
negie requests are complied with.
This has always been classed as
the largest and best school in the
stale. 1t has had a large number of
students from various states, as well
as from Florida and has fiourished.
"The failure to arrive at an agree
ment is due to the old fractional feel
ing which was so evident when the
torbes-Stetson controversy was being
aired. 1t is hardly probable that an
agreement will be arrived at"
