WORK TO BEGIN on COLLEGE WELL

| Mr.. J. W. Mcmahon, of McMa-
hon x Bigelow, well-drilling con-
tractors, was in the city yesterday
and went out TO the A. and NJ.
College, where they will begin
work the comming week on the
new well for the Colleg drinking
water supply with their rotary
drilling outfit.
While this machinery is within
easy reach again the Eagle would
be glad to see the movement for an
artesian well in Bryan take some
definite shape. Just why there
should be so much general apathy
on a subject of so much import.
ance is one OF those things that is
hard to understand. The sewer
age problem and other important
matters hinge on this deep well
proposition. Let some steps be
taken to secure il.
Mr.. Bigelow will have charge OF
the work at College, and while the
machinery is there Mr.. Mcmahon
will ascertain the sentiment of the
people of Bryon on the deep well
subject.

DEFENDS THE TRUSTS.
DR.. Lyman Abbott Also Praises Presi-
dents Policy

NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y. February 25.-
In an address delivered this afternoon be-
fore the Peoples Forum in New Rochelle
the Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott said a good
work for the corporations and at the same
big-stick policy. The President. he admit
ted. was exercising more control over leg
islation than any other executive who has
ever occupied the White House, but he
said the President was not seeking to at
tain legislative ends by the exercise of
patronage. The President he said, had
made fewer appointments from purely po-
litical motives than any other President
at Is not because of the big stick, but
him." said he. that he has been able to
get some good legislation. The President
has merely understood the will of the peo-
pie and has tried to carry it OUT
DR.. Abbott's subject was THE Coming
Age" and he spoke before a large audi
Maxwell, ex-superintendent Of the New
York city public schools. The speaker de-
cried the feeling against trusts, as he said
that trusts and combinations were agencies
for good when they were honestly con-
Quoted.
"It is the abuses that have crept into
these corporations, and not their existence,
ious in the public eye.' he said. THE
Standard Oil Trust began with forty-five
original owners, and now there are over
three hundred. The same is true of the
Sugar Trust. which began with only a few
stockholders and now has six hundred. The
tendency of the trusts has been to Increase
the number Of owners. The Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has $4,000 employees and
1t also has 5000 owners. This certainly
means the distribution of wealth"

CITIZENS HOLD MEETING.
Express Themselves Regarding Loca
ton Of School House.

mass meeting of the citizens of Burr
Vile, Greenwood. Lincoln. Paramount and
Kenilworth was held yesterday, at which
resolutions were adopted favoring the loca-
ton of the new school building on the site
Of the old school near Burrville, or on
Sheriff road, near the District line. Con-
gress has appropriated $4,000 for a new
school house, and the citizens of the sub
urban towns want the building erected
where 1t will be of the greatest advantage
to all concerned. The resolution was ad-
dressed to the District Commissioners.
The citizens expressed opposition to the
proposition to erect new school house
near the Pennsylvania railroad track. The
sentiment Of the mass meeting was that
the school should be erected as near as pos
sible to the center of population. That part
are growing rapidly, 1t was stated, and II
the school Is built where the citizens de-
sire. It will be within reach OF all who re-
side In that section and the many other
new residents who are rapidly moving In.
1t is hoped that eventually a manual train
ing school will be one Of the principal
structures to be built near the center of
population.
In case the new school is not built on the
site of the old institution, 1t is the wish of
the citizens that the frame building be re-
tained for the housing of the first and
second grades. A petition with 15O sigma
lures has been arranged and will be sent to
the board of education requesting that
these two grades be retained in case the
proposed new building does not take the
place OF the old one.
The meeting yesterday was held In the
Burrville Methodist Church. Rev. w H
Washington presided.
