Columbia, Oct. 26.-The Missouri
football eleven has been working hard
the past few days for it's game with
Willfam-JeweIl.
Monilaw has been driving the Mis-
souri, Tigers hard on Rollins field as
he fully realizes their lack of condi-
ton for such a long continued Cruel
ling as they got at Iowa last week.
Thursday night the varsity scored four
touchdowns on the freshmen in twen-
ty minutes, and the frst-year men
have a team that is not to be despised.
Not content with overtime on the
giving his students much night chart
work. Friday he dealt out five more
new plays, one of them the weirdest
forward pass ever seen on a football
field. 1t would take an opposing team
a couple of days to solve tin fact,
its use was directly responsible for all
the touchdowns the varsity made
against the scrubs.
William Jewell seems to be a sitter
proposition than was at first supposed.
Their lineup has been received and
shows them to average 172 pounds
just as heavy as the Tigers. They
have no doubt improved much since
their opening game with Kansas,
when they were beaten 38 to 0, and
the Tigers are not expected to roll up
a. very big score Saturday.
The big bleachers to seat 2, 800

MORE BATTLESHIPS.
Also a Big Increase I'm Naval Running
Expenses in Sight.

Washington, Oct. 26.-Secretary
MetcaIf has just completed comptla-
ton of the estimates for the main
tenance of the naval establishment
and as these show a great increase as
compared with the current fiscal year,
thereby promising to cause much de-
bate in congress at the approaching
session, the president and the secretary
of the navy are giving their most earn
est attention to them. The secretary
advanced a proposition to increase by
100000 the standing appropriation
for the payment of enlisted men in the
navy. According to his estimate, this
increase would admit of the recruit
ment of about 5000 blue jackets in
proposition was received with favor
and will be included in the estimates
to be submitted to congress.
Another matter not entirely naval in
character deemed worthy of report by
Secretary Metcalf because of its infiu-
ence upon the character of naval yes
sells constructed in the future was the
recommendation of the Isthmian canal
commission brought to Washington a
few days ago by Civil Engineer Ros-
seau looking to the widening of the
locks of the Panama canal, and this
subject was discussed at some length.
Some naval officers, whose views were
reflected by Secretary MetcaIf held
that width of 100 feet in the locks
would be quite sufficient to meet all
naval needs within the next half CEN
fury, but it appeared that another ele-
ment believes that the locks would
prove too narrow in the course Of ten
years.
The president decided to await a de-
tailed report from the canal commits
sion upon this important subject and
SO the subject was laid aside for the
present.
Secretary MetcaIf also has before
him the report of the naval general
board headed by Admiral Dewey upon
the new construction required to meet
the plans of the board and these were
touched upon incident to the construc>
naval general board. but the naval
board of construction headed by Ad-
miral Converse, the chief naval con-
structor and the secretary of the navy
himself, must express their views in
formal reports upon this matter of
new construction before the president
will have in hand all of the material
upon which to base his own recon-
mendation to congress. 1t is pointed
last year expressed the opinion that
one new ship would be all that should
necessarily be authorized by this con-
gress. the president has somewhat en-
barrassed hims elf, but as several of the,
battleships which were last year sup
posed to be perfectly serviceable have
since rather unexpectedly been shown
to be of obsolete type. it is not appre-
hended that the president will have
any difficulty in recommending to con-
gress. for 1t is now quite certain that
no less than two, and probably three
battleships of the first order will be
recommended in the estimates.

A FTREMAN's TRAGIC END.
Kansas Boy Boiled to Death ON Santa
Ee Engine

san Bernardino, Cal, Oct. 26.-One
or the Santa Fe trains which passed
through here for the east yesterday
bore the remains of Fireman J. H.
Potter of the Santa Fe, who was
scalded to death on his engine, the
962, near Bengal, Cal, on the morn
ing of October IT. The remains were
accompanied by the bereaved wife and
child and will be inferred at the old
home in Eureka, Kan.
Potter was on the engine with En-
gineer o. E. Wilbur when the acct
dent occurred. The train was west
bound and running slowly at the time
of the accident because the engineer
had discovered that there was water
flowing along the sides of the tracks
which cautioned him to be careful.
While he had slowed down, he was
in the act of applying the brakes when
the engine ran on a bridge and it gave
away, the bents having been under
mined and weakened by the flood
waters which had been flowing. AS
the front end of the engine sank, the
force of the following train pushed
the tank loose from it's bed and up
against the boiler head. Engineer
Wilbur for a moment was caught by
the legs, but as the train surged for
ward he was released, and he threw
himself out the cab window, alighting
without injury The tank, however
caught Fireman Potter, crushing his
hip and breaking away two steam
pipes which almost instantly ceased
his sufferings by sca1ding him to
death

WORK FOR MIR. STRONG.
The *. q. Chancellor to Address Edu-
catiOnal Gatherings.

Lawrence, Kan, Oct. 26.-Chancellor
Strong has been chosen to present two
topics of much interest in university
circles at the national meeting of State
university presidents, which Will con-
vene in Washington on November Is for
a three-days session.
The principal topic which the chancel-
lor will discuss will be standardization
of state universities. This is a new
movement in educational circles and no
one is yet very certain as to what needs
to be done or what can be done.
The other subject is the relation of
state universities to the work row done
by denomfnational colleges. The sub
jecr is stated thus: Can denomina-
tiona1 colleges attain their ends through
the state universities"
Prior to going to Washington for this
conference, Chancellor Strong will go,
next week to Iowa City, Iowa, to attend
similar conference, composed of the
heads of the state universities of the
middle west.
