yesterday afternoon one man was almost

pulled down by other woYkmen by means
of ropes, when suddenly the crumbling
mass gave away and l.. F.. Kensey. one
of the workmen, living at sos Louisiana
Street. Fulton, was buried beneath tho
pile of falling brick and masonry; and
e y. f. Goode. of 211l East Broad Street,
was struck by large quantity of the
flying debris.

Was Bruised and Cut.
Goode was badly cut about the head
and was severely bruised about the left
leg, though no bones were broken. The
latter's quicknesF saved his life, for he
saw the wall giving way and Jumped
back Just in the nick of time. Kensey,
who was about 65 years of age. was not
80 quick. and his hardness cost him his
life Mr.. Mckee. the contractor, said
the fatal accident was due to the risk
the two men took, for had they been
standing farther away from the wall
while the men were pulling 1t to the
earth the fatality woulu never have oc-
Cured.
The ambulance. with DR. Cullen 8. Pitt
In charge. was called hurriedly. and
made record time to the scene OF the
accident. But the surgeon arrived too
late TO render assistance to Kensey, ns
he was already dead. The physician
dressed the wounds of oGcde and took
him to his home.
Mr.. Kensey is married man with a
family.
The building being torn down was a
large tenement house, which is being
removed to give room for another build
ing that the owners are preparing to
erect there.

STUDENTS EDITORIAL
ROASIS THE FACULTY

In an editorial published this morn
ing I'M; the Minnesota student publlca..
ton. the Minnesota Daily, the action OF
the Minnesota council in approving the
big nine recommendations is declared
to be the. deathknell Of present day
football at the university.
No radical action by the students is
suggested. but the article is sarcastic in
tone and the Minnesota faculty is &C
cused Of being carried away On the
high wave Of frenzied REFORM
Parts of the editorial read as follows:
"The long -delayed faculty inquest
was held Saturday. It was primarily
a postmortem affair.". Wisconsin,, Chi
cage, Iowa, Northwestern and Illinois
had already examined the. battered
corpse. Of present-day football, and
had pronounced the ominous verdict
dead Our faculty really did nothing
revolutionary. They took no advanced
position. s. :: Clarified along on the high
wave, Of frenzied REFORM, they changed
one word and aput their stamp of ap.
prevail upon a setF7of resolutions that
have been in existence for two months.
These resolutions, if adopted by the
conference colleges andsput into force,
will wipe! out of existence the game of
football: as you and I know 1t. Z. = E.l,3

lection of colleges Football united US

MAY GET SHARE OF BIG !.
FORTUNE In HOLLAND

If the few remaining items Of proof
necessary can be obtained, Mrs: t.. i.
Sisson, 1926 Washburn avenue, stands
to receive substantial part OF a con-
siderable fortune, now held in trust by
the government Of Holland. Indications
that the family of which, Mrs. SIS
son is a member, is entitled to the for
tune at present are promising, but the
lineage cannot be traced to a definite
noint. Grandfathers have been found
and their ages and nativity indicate
that they and their offspring are the d.
rect descendants Of the Metzger who
made the fortune, but in spite OF the
fact that they can get near conclusion
Mrs. Sisson and her relatives are I'M
able to forge the last and necessary link
Of the chain.
Mrs. sisson's grandfather, Joseph
Metzger. went to Ohio direct from Hol-
land. His two brothers also came to
America, settling in different sections.
Their descendants are scattered thru
the west and all are cooperating IN an
endeavor to complete their family tree
and ascertain their right to participate
in the division Of the big. estate.
The fortune, which the government OF
Holland is now anxious to dispose Of, is
large. It is in the form of trust OF
several million dollars. -~-:

SUGGESTS LIGHT
FOR DARK PLACES
MAYOR BELIEVES PRESENT PLAN
is INEQUITABLE.
He Says that the Incandescent Burn
ers Are Too Thickly Planted on
Some Thorofares, While Others Are
Poorly Lighted illumination Of AL
legs as Police Measure.

Mayor D. P. Jones has plan to sug-
gest to the city council gas committee
whereby it will be possible to spread
the lighting appropriation of the pres
ent year over larger territory. The
basis Of the plan is the claims of the
contractors furnishing patent lamp,
heads to the city, chief of which is that
the candlepower Of each light is three
times greater than was obtainable with
the old fiat flame burners.
If these patent burners produce 9
sixty candlepower light, as is claimed
and required in the CONTRACT, they fur.
nish lust three times the amount OF
light obtained with the old-fashioned
flat-hame tips said the mayor: Third
avenue S, for instance has six lamps
to the block, and with the mantle burn
quired candlepower, there is Just three
times as much light as was originally
intended. Working on this basis, why
would it not be possible for the council
to take half the light from that street
and others that are similarly we'll cared
for, and give it to some section OF the
city that needs it? Another thing when
I believe. might well be done. would !, pc p
to light the alleys in the downtown dis 4:
tricts. It would certainly be a public
safety measure and great aid to the
police department in the proper policing
Of the city. There are other sections
downtown that should be better lighted,
notably the blocks leading under the
Washington avenue viaduct:.'
Another innovation which the mayor
believes to be in the province OF the
council to inaugurate is the purchase
and maintenance Of lampheads.
. "I have the opinion. of the city at
torney on the question, said the mayor
cit would be proper for the city to pur-
chase the heads outright and maintain
them as it has in the past hired them.
I speak advisedly when | say that they
could be bought, at not to exceed So
each within sixty days, Out OF our
present appropriation, the city could
buy outright and maintain 1000 heads
could provide fat-fame lamps for the
sections not provided with patent burn
ers, and come out even, The next year
enough other heads could be bought to
finish the equipment and provide fo1
extensions in gas lighting and money
would be saved. After that the city
would save money every year because
Il owned the lampheads. L am in ia

PHILHARMONIC oRAToRIo

Theodore Dubois Paradise Lost,
one of the most dramatic Of the modern
oratorios, had a fine presentation at the
Auditorium last evening by the Phil
harmonic club. The choral work of the
club WAS excellent. but still not quite
up to the high standard which Mr..
Oberhoffer has set in the past The
male NAL chorus was not strong enough to
counterbalance the women s voices and
the double chorus Of the "faithfuP'
and the" rebels" seemed weak and in.
adequate. The full ":victoryo chorus
with its, magnificent, dramatic climax,
was superbiy sung. :: The same might
be said Of the closing chorus. The full
power of the chorus and orchestra rem
dered it thrillingly impressive.
The 'orchestration Z, of ''Paradise
Lost, 81" Is weird and impressive. In
the accompanying choruses Of the con
tending hosts OF" angels. it is at times
almost .diabolical. Oftentimes the mod
ulatlons are most daring, but they are
made with a master hand. The work
Of the orchestra is greatly to be com
mended, the only criticism seeming to
| lie with the playing Of the brasses, and
this was especially true Of the, respo11.

80 Hardware Men.

, During the convention Of the State
Hardware Dealers association in Min
sneapois, Feb. 49,, March 1-2, will be
held the first annual merchant hardware
dealers exposition. The idea started
in Chicago when the Illinois association
leased the big. armory, and sublet space
to iobbers and manufacturers for dis
plays. The scheme proved great sue
cess. It attracted many to the conven-.
ton who otherwise would not have at
tended, and firms that made displays
were, well satisfied.
The Minnesota association has Sc
cured every foot Of available room for
the exhibition in the {. Hotel Nieollet,
and already nearly all the display room
has been contracted for by jobbers and
MA nufacturers. The convention proper
will be held in the large dining hall on
the second floor. The displays will be
in numerous other large apartments in
the hotel. From present indications,
there will be at3leastg 100 exhibitors.
1t is expected between 500 and 800
delegates will attend the convention.
These. delegates will take advantage. of
the merchants excursion rate Of fare
and a fifth. These same rates will prob
ably bring large number offother peo-
| pie to Minneapolis at the same time.
