and OF the great meteor which fell over
the Costa Rcsn frontier and was asked
II there wss aOy likelihood that Haley s
cqmet was ct oil responsible for the dis

said that In bis opinion there wss abso-

that the comet a. the present time was
not in position to drop meteor in that
vicinity.
William Beebe. professor ofs,ss.roromY

Professor Beebe went on TO cay, how
ever, that il great mttsor had fallen
near Oartsgo, this meteor might bave

MUSEUM TO HOUSE
AFRICAN PACHYDERM
Colonel ROOseyelt's Gift Will Be
Placed in Hall of Vertebrate
Zoology on Campus

BERKELEY, March 9.-The spacious
California museum OF vertebrate zool-
ogy, which was completed a year ago
by funds given in equal shares by the
university and Miss Anna NJ Alexander
of Oakland has been chosen as the
mausoleum for the gigantic African
pachyderm which Colonel Roosevelt
shot and killed in the jungles of the
dark continent and presented TO Doc
tor Wheeler.
The regents of the university thought
they had white elephant on their
hands yesterday when announcement
was made at their meeting of the re-
ceipt of the gift. The beast is an un-
usually large one and there was more
or less speculation as TO where the
thick skinned king of the jungles
would be housed.
Secretary Victor Henderson said this
morning that the new museum of ver-
tebrate zoology would offer ample ac-
commodations for its new guest, which
was being prepared for it's campus
home by Edmund Heller OF the univer-
sity and taxidermist for the Roose-
welt party.
The museum is large enough to ac-
commodate the elephant and several
more" said Henderson today.

tatOrS a Bit of Thrill

OAKLAND, March Sired Lindsay,
the Australian bushman. has caught
the Oakland orpheum patrons this week
with his marvellous feats with the stock
whip.
Fancy mans being able to flick the
ashes from cigar with a 80 foot whip,
or delicately to open an envelope at a
distance of 20 feet with that same long,
slender whip lash. Fancy man being
able with that whip to slice a beer
bottle into two. or to do all sorts of
things that indicate the possession of
extraordinary skill on the part of the
man who uses the whip.
These in part are some CT the things
which Fred Lindsay, the gentleman
adventurer," has been doing.
Walter c. Kelly's inimitable story
telling in his character of a Virginia
judge is the refinement of picturesque
character study.

Too Much Money Given to Higher Ed


Too Much Money Given to Higher Ed
ucatiOns
Editor OF The Times Dispatch:
Sir,--I notice that at every session
of the Legislature high pressure is
brought to bear for big appropriat Ions
to our institutions OF higher educa-
ton.
This would be al, right IL we had
the money to spare, but with lack
Of funds, and with almost a necessity
TO Increase taxes confronting US. /
contend that retrenchment along that
line would do less harm than In any
other.
Few States can boast of as fine do
nominational and private colleges, both
female and male, as Virginia At these
schools education is being furnished
at so near the price that Il costs at
the State institutions that you will
have to put on your glasses to tell
the difference. Students have as GOOD
or better opportunity at these colleges
to work their way through. The means
by our people, which has come freely
and literally; then they are taxed to
keep UP schools to conipete with them.
do not object SO much to the compe-
tition as to taking the means from
causes that need it more. and from
which all the people would derive moro
good. I do not desire to put the State
institutions out of business. but while
there Is continual clamor for en-
largement and new State colleges Ca
great deal of which is prompted by
local selflshness), believe we should
call halt until we have roads fit for
travel.
When the State has provided free;
education until the high school course
is completed. she has done fairly well.
and II there is much In the pupil, tho
way will not be very hard.
"A largo per cent. of the patronage
OF the State schools comes from par
ties who can well afford the slight
difference In expense. However, as
they are taxed to keep UP these
