COURTHOUSE PROBLEM.
Board at O Loss to KnOW What Site
tn Recommend NeTt.

The Courthouse Beard is at a loss 20 kno"
what TO recommend next site for the new
courthouse In its recommendation Of the Wash
ington Square site. which rejected by the
Board Of Estimate and Apportionment on Friday,
the board said:
1t is with reluctance that the board has come
lost by reason of financial considerations of erect
ing courthouse which shall be worthy OF our CITY
and large enough for its certain growth
Last night David B. Ogden. of No Il East 10Th
street. secretary Of the board said: Personally
do not know what tn, board can recommend next
one after another our recommendations were re-
jected account Of financial reasons Finally we
decided on the Washington Square site. principally
because il was the inexpensive site that could
possibly be selected And now that has been re-
jected.'
When asked what site he thought the Board OF
Estimate and Apportionment would accent he said
I'm sure 1 don't know
Mr.. Ogden was still OF the opinion that the Union
Square sites the best that could be selected
They are easily accessible to the subway, he
said. 1T takes longer 70 go to 18th street In
the subway express from Pine and William streets
for example than 1t does walk to City Hall
Park A subway station could he built in the
basement of the courthouse, which would be very
convenient, especially rainy day. The ground
is high and suitable for foundations II is just at
one side Of the principal artery of the city 1t Is
in a quiet location. 1t would allow for growth
and would cost no more than other sites In public

Mr.. Kirby Unable Find Out to Whom He Made His
So-CaIIed Bogus " Protest.

II develops from the report of Gustavus T.
Kirby, member OF the American Olympic Com
hittee TO the intercollegiate Association Of ANA
teur Athletes Of America. which will be read at
the annual meeting on Saturday that conditions
at the Olympic games last summer were worse
even than have been represented. and that
mystery exists even TO the referee. Mr.. Kirby
reports that he made formal protest 10 official
that was pointed out to him the referee on the
day of the running OF the 400-rnetre race in which
Carpenter was disqualified. and over which so much
trouble and discussion have arisen. This was de-
MED by the referee of the race. and Mr Kirby has
been unable TO find out since with whom he lodged
his protest believing him be the referee
Inasmuch the British Association discredits
Mr.. kirbys original report and calls his inter-
view with the referee bogus" and inasmuch
the report of the British Association was pub
nshed broadcast. Mr.. Kirby feels called
to refer to the games once more and the troubles
growing out Of them. chairman of the ad-
visory committee OF the intercollegiate association
In this report he says in part:
1T is with great regret that again refer 10 the
Olympic games: but certain statements set down
in the Official Statement of the Amateur Athletic
Association of Great Britain made ii necessary
that some answer should be made, to the end that
upon the documents of the the chairman Of
your advisory committee should not go down In
history lying scoundrel who is seeking to make
trouble and accomplish good result.
The reply of the British association to the
charges relating TO the 4oo-metre decision is one
which. If true. would discredit not only my
port but myself well. for il calls the interview
with the referee bogus and infers that all my
statements in reference thereto are false. That
the interview bogus is untrue; that II did
take place is a fact; that protest was lodged is
admitted by the very official of the association
who called bogus the interview leading up 20 the
Judgement OF the protest. There is certainly
mystery here II cannot be in reference to the
interview having taken place. not only did the
American committee and other Americans know
and notice It. but also many others in the grand
stand the gate opening TO the inner field
must have noticed that conference OF some kind
was going on. The mystery must be In the identity
of the official Who he? Certainly not David
Scott Duncan. II he be honest man. for he
states that the interview not with him.
Was it with Mr. Abraham, who IS stated by Hugh
CIoble. the starter. 10 have been the referee Of
the race? I think not; but ! do not know.
The Hon Percy L. Fisher. secretary of the
British association. could and would clear up this
mystery il he honorable man-but is he?
Under date Of December Il. 1905. Mr. Fisher
the letterhead of the Amateur Athletic Associa-
ton OF Great Britain sent, addressed to me. the
following communication:

RuY q nrfnkina Cup.

After September 1st, in the
state of Kansas, it will be unlaw-
full for public drinking cups to be
used on railroad trains and in
other public places. The state
board Of health has made this
ruling and the attorney general
has held that the board had the
right to do it.
Children, at the public schools,
will have to have separate cups,
and there will be no more oi
passing the bucket and dipper,
Each child will be required, if he
takes a drink, to use his own cup,
The news butchers on the trains
ought to have a big sale of fold
ing cups. The rule is a good
one, and we hope to see it strict
ly enforced.
