COMMERCIAL CLUB LUNCH ROOM
Plan for Bringing Business Men Closer
Together Each Noon.


One of the plans being discussed by
some of the members Of the Norfolk
Commercial club for the benefit of the
organized business interests of the
city, contemplates the establishment
of suite of rooms for the Commercial
club and the serving Of lunches at noon
to business men so that every noon a
meeting of the business interests
could be held and plans discussed for
the benefit of Norfolk. This idea has
worked splendidly in Omaha for many
years, where business men get togeth
er at club each noon hour and de-
wise ways and means for meeting new
difficulties. The meetings are always
held directly after lunch.
The same idea has been operated
lately in Sioux City to great advant-
age. On certain days men represent
ing particular interests are called upon
to address the business men thus as
sembled.

GRAMMAR SCHOOL REVIEWS

Instead of the examinations next
week. as has been the custom during
the last week of the grammar schools.
Superintendent Stilwell has adopted a
new plan the execution of which be-
gan yesterday. There will be oral re-
views and one written review each
day, during the length of one recita-
ton period. from now until the close
of school These reviews during the
remainder of the session will all he
graded and each pupil will DE given
the credit for them. Ii is thought that
greater benefit will accrue TO the pu-
pills from this systematic work than
from the single great test OF a half
day of examinations. The daily grade
up to this time counts for two-thirds
value and the general review for one
third value. Where a pupil fails to
pass he will be given an opportunity
of an examination if he thinks he can
pass.

Tilt FlBBERTI6lBBETTS
OF The SUPfRSTITIONS
Official Confirmation of a Story Re-
gardins a Dwarfish and Impish Race
of Arizonians.

W. J. Homer of the Arizona Maya
zine was around yesterday asking
chronological questions. Mr.. Homer
had just learned that there used to re-
side in the Superstition mountains Il
race of Indians or aborigines called
Flibbertigibbetts and that now and
then remnants of the impish tribe had
been seen by lonely prospectors and
others whose business called then into
the innermost recesses of those gloomy
mountains. Mr.. Homer had understood
that the Flibbertigibbetts were diminu-
tive people not more than two or three
feet in height. He wanted his inform
alton authenticated and he was sent
TO Deputy Sheriff Jeff Adams who
has spent a considerable part of his
time in and about the Superstition
mountains. Mr.. Adams has seen them.
he following conversation ensued. Mr..
Homer: They're about SO high Cir
dicating a height of two feet from the
floor.)
Mr.. Adams: Surveying the distance
critically with one eye) Il think they're
little higher than that. say an inch
or two. Say, what do you say they
are?"
Mr. Homer: "Flibbertigibbetts."
Mr.. Adams: I've often seen 'em but
l never heard 'em called that before
Mr. Homer and Mr.. Adams after
some further discussion agreed upon
that classification of them and Mr.. Ad-
ans proceeded with a description of
the Flibbertigibbetts he had met. 1t
very closely with Mr..
Homers previous information regard
ing them
Mr.. Homer: They say that the
Flibbertigibbetts are not afraid OF
strangers"
Mr.. Adams: "Oh, hell no, but stran-
gers are afraid of them
At the conclusion of Mr.. Adams re-
lation il was the consensus of opinion
of the crowd that half the wonders of
had never been told. After
that the discussion veered to the pc
culiarities of the wildcat and the
causes of his wildness.

BROWNSVILLE CASE
NEARING TIE END
A Part Of the Senate Committee Be-
lieves Further Testimony is Unnec-
essary.

Washington May 22.-The commit
tee on military affairs. which Is inves-
tigating the Brownsville affray. held
an executive session at the close of the
hearing today to determine whether
the committee shall go to Texas to
take testimony. No agreement was
reached. Several members of the COM
mittee argued that the testimony TAX
en- here proves that the negro troops
did the shooting and that nothing is to
be gained by the "trip. II was likewise
intimated by several senator's that
there was no occasion to call any more
Witnesses.
Senator Foraker took exception tothis
and was supported by three or four
senators. II was decided to summon
several more witnesses from Browns
Vile and 10 examine experts at the
Springfield arsenal who made a report
ON the shells picked up after the
shooting. The question Of going to
Texas will be considered again.
