ECONOMY CRY
COSTS A JOB
CITY LACKS FUNDS TO PAY
CONCRETE INSPECTOR
Mayor Vetoes the Appointment and
Municipal Leagues Secretary Pre-
vents Passage Of Ordinance
Over the Veto

From present indications Il appears
probable that Irving II. Hellman, son
of the millionaire banker, Herman w.
Hellman, will not be appointed city in
spector of reinforced concrete at a
salary of $3.50 month. The ordinance
providing for his appointment was yes
terday vetoed by the mayor, and while
there was a disposition on the part of
the council to pass 1t over the mayors
veto the quick intervention of G. ID.
Willard, secretary of the Municipal
league, caused 1t to be laid on the table
for a week.
An ordinance for Mr.. Hellman's ap-
pointment was passed by the council
at it's session last week, fathered by
Councilman Smith. The ordinance car
ried salary of $3.50 a month, to be
paid out of fees collected for the con-
struction Of reinforced concrete build
ings.
The message of the mayor vetoing
the ordinance was to the effect that
since there had been but three REIN
forced concrete buildings erected i'm the
last year the fees would not sustain
the office and the salary would have
to come out of the meager funds of the
building superintendent's office. He
cast a little stone at Councilman Smith,
chairman of the finance committee,
which has been telling the mayors
commissioners emphatic things about
exceeding appropriations by suggesting
that inasmuoh as the finance commit
tee had taken occasion to keep the
commissions down to bedrock, the city
council should do likewise in regard
to appointments that might involve city
money.
C. ID. Willard claimed the Municipal
league objected to the appointment on
the ground that 10 ordinance had been
an inspector and that the building SUI
perintendent had not been called into
consultation on the appointment. He
declared it looked as if the council was
simply trying to make soft berth for
some friend.
If this ordinance is finally lost it will
probably be the first measure fathered
by Councilman Smith that has gone
down to defeat since he has held seat
in the council.

HAD A GOOD PRESS AGENT
New History omits Story That Fun

the Philippines
Special to The Herald.

TOPEKA, Kas,, Jan. 15.--Kansas
school children will not be taught that
Gen. Funston swan the Bag Bag river
during his service in the Philippines.
The revision committee appointed by
the state text book commission has
eliminated the incident from history.
The new state history came from the
presses yesterday. 1t was found that
in the record of Funston's Philippine
achievements absolutely no mention
was made of his alleged Bag Bag feat.
1t has reopened the old controversy as
to just what he did do.
Members of the committee declare
that they used the official records of the
secretary of war and that they could
not permit the Funston story to be pub
lished as history. AS matter of fact,
Funston had a good press agent, and
the latter evolved the Bag Bag yarn.

HARVARD WILL
DROP FOOTBALL
0VERSEERS ABOLISH POPULAR
SPORT
Athletic Officials Of Big University
Decide to Discontinue the
Game as at Present
Played
Bv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BOSTON, Jan. 15.-Football has been
abolished at Harvard pending a reform
in the game that will be acceptable to
the board of overseers, according to an
official announcement today from the
university.
The discontlnuance of the game Is a
result of vote taken last week at a
secret meeting of the board of over
seers, when 1t was decided that inter-
collegiate football at Harvard would
not be permitted until the rules and
regulations had been so changed and
amended as to remove what the over
seers regarded as the evils of the pres
ent game.
The overseers accepted unanimously
the opinions of a special committee that
the game as at present played is essen
TALLY bad in every respect, that the
method of formation encourages trick
cry and foul play and that the result Is
lad for the morals of the players as
well as for the body.
Committee Condemns Game
The committee declared that if
changes were to be made no member
of the so-called intercollegiate rules
committee should have a hand In 1t, the
committee believing these persons are
SO far committed to the present sys-
tenn that they could not agree to such
changes as are absolutely necessary to
produce a decent, clean, pleasurable
contest "instead of the present apology
for rough and tumble fight"
Football is a fine game when prop
erly played" the committee says, "but
the present method is thoroughly bad
and ought to be stopped absolutely and
finally. Any university taking this
oofi tr-i11 loft hn Gtd hon
efactor by many players and by all
lovers of healthful, clean sport and
fair play"
Under the ruling of the overseers,
football is now in allegiance at the uni
versity until the committee on the reg
ulation of athletic sports has made its
report to the board and until the board
has accepted the new rules and reg
ulations in every point. Whether the
reformed rules can be arranged and ac-
cepted in time for the resumption Of
football next season is problematical.
