The Hartford republican., 1906-01-26


The Keep Com mission report on
the method of the Agricultural De-
partment in collecting crop statistics
has been submitted to the President
and now all that is needed is Con-
gressional action to clinch the good
work that has already been begun.
The report is the result of months
of patient study. 1t shows where
the methods If the Department are
at fault and points out some of the
remedies. Ii also recommends the
transfer of acreage reports to the
Census Bureau. This last is mat
ter that will have to be dealt with
by Congress since the making of the
reports by the Agricultural Depart
ment is fixed by law The Secretary
of Agriculture says that some of the
changes and improvements in meth
od that have been suggested by the
commission have already been put
in force. The Secretary's conten-
ton is that the work of the Depart
ment since the reorganization of the
Bureau Of Statistics has been accur-
ate and satisfactory. He says he is
willing to make improvements if
they are pointed out to him. bat
leaves the inference that he has not
found any such suggestions in the
Commissions report.

Felix Chillingworth Advocates 1t Be
fore Aldermanic Committee.
The aIdermanic committee on sewers
and squares held public hearing in
city hall last night on several petitions
for sewers and on the petition of George
H. Ford for the purchase of the prop
erty adjoining the government proper
ty at Lighthouse Point by the city for
park purposes.
Felix Chlllingworth spoke very earn
estly before the committee on this petit
ton. He cited several cases where the
city had done we'll to purchase proper
ty for park purposes. The site at Light
house Point, he said was an ideal one
for a public park. 1t contains about
seventy-fve acres. He favored its pur-
chase if it could be obtained at price
which was, in the estimation of the
board of compensation, reasonable.
Others who favored the proposition
were Edward Beecher and Levi T.
Snow j. p. Thomson and E. L. Good
ale opposed the proposition and said
that the city would do better to care
for the parks that it now had.

Boston, Nov. 27.-The position Of
President Charles w. Eliot of Har-
ward university. with reference to the
different branches of college sports,
was given in an interview made pub
Tic here to-day President Eliot has
made firm stand for reformation
In the athletic methods of colleges, es-
pecaally with reference to football In
the interview published to-day, bask-
etball and hockey are classed with
football as Objectionable, while base
ball is declared to be open to many
objections. President Eliot said: ITO
discontinue football, basketball and
hockey at Harvard would do no harm.
Basketball Is very Objectionable. 1t is
too rough, and there are too many
chances for cheating. The rules have
been stretched so that they spoil the
game. 1t would be a good thing to
have basketball especially discon-
tinued.
Rowing and tennis are the only
sports in which honorable play togeth-
err is practised. You can no more cheat
in those two sports than in a game Of
cards: you would be crowded out of
society if you tried.
ITO baseball there are many objec-
tons. Still, I would not advocate its
discontinuance, because it is so popu-
lar. Some forms of track sports are
also Objectionable There is too much
cheating on records
'Hockey is altogether too rough. Tt
requires team work, and I must say
that have no use for a game that re-
quires that Tt is not open enough,
and, as in basketball, its rules have
been distorted.
II have explained my objections to
football. know it is popular, but, as
/ have said, the university would not
suffer If there were no more football,
Lacrosse has not been played at
Harvard long enough for me to ex-
press my opinion on it's merits.
81 cannot say two much in favor of
rowing Not only is there an absence
of cheating, but it is the most health
full and interesting as well as one of
the two most honorable sports.
Tennis can be played with profit by
any one. All it requires is individual
skill and brains. There is no UNDER
handed team work to it."

The Majestic Hall corporation, Of

few days the building known as Polls
theater. Conferences and communities

the subject, and the corporations

Mr.. Poll in this city to-day as a result
Of a letter received from the theater
manager yesterday Mr.. Poll has Of
fered $4,000 for the property and the
corporation will sell at that figure, but
there are certain details in the terms,
such as taxes, etc, that have interfered
with an agreement.
Three years ago, when Mr.. Poll OPEN
cd the popular theater, he took a ten
year lease on the property at an an
nual rental of $500 net; that Is he as
sumes the expense of heating, lighting,
water rent and repairs. He was given
an option Of $4,000 on the property,
The reason that the corporation win
sell now for $50, 1000 Is that it could real
izo more on that sum if it had It than
to wait ten years for $l5,oOo
