 Mr. Skaggs said lastsnight that he would be here several days and would probably give out an. interview regarding his views on educational matters in the south. for which he has been both commended and condemned.
 He stated last night that he was in tensely southern, and that expressions made by him If in criticism of the south were from a sense of an impending peril which he was trying to assist the south in avoiding. He stated that conditions existed in the south which no patriotic citizen could view with calmness or with out alarm.
 MT. Skaggs recently made an address fin Washington before a meeting of edu- cational dignitaries at that place at which Thomas Nelson Page also made an ad- dress In his talk at that gathering MT Skaggs said the condition of education in the south was national one and should receive the careful thought and attention from workers in the cause of whatever part of the country.

COURTHOUSE PLAN
 MAY BE SUBMITTED The Board of Revenue to Have
 Definite Proposition NEEn TC UEPv AppAprNr
NEED IS VERY APPARENT
Board VIII Ask Voters Whether They Favor Annex or Entirely New Courthouse BuIIding-NuI
 Soon Be Live Topic

In the event the plans of certain mem bers of the Jefferson County Board of Revenue materialize the voters of the county may soon have another opportuni- ty to say whether or not they desire a new courthouse commensurate with the needs and greatness of the county.
 IT another election Is called it will be left to the voters to decide whether they want brand new courthouse or an an- nex to the present structure, which will serve in some degree to make the quar- ters of the county offices more adeouate
 The plan under considration is to have drawn up plans and specifications. both for the proposed new courthouse and the proposed annex. Several architects will be requested to form the plans and the best bids on both annex and new build ing will be accepted by the Board of Revenue
 After plans and specifications for both have been thoroughly advertised. so that the public will know just what it is getting, an election will be called and the people will be asked to say which Of the propositions is the most acceptable.
 Probate Judge-elect J. P Stiles and sheriff-elect Walter K McAdory are much interested in the matter They agree that more room is absolutely neces- sary and have been Investigating condi- tions and considering the best means to provide larger quarters
 MT. McAdory and Architect Harry B. Wheelock visited the county jail yes- terday and looked over the ground with a view to considering the advisability of a new and larger office for the jail. | Changes are alson eeded in the record rooms of the probate court, as the pres ent quarters are overffowing, and in the event the annex or new courthouse mat ter is not decided soon Judge Stiles will urge the Board of Revenue to make the change.
 MT. MeAdory and Judge Stiles have not appeared before the board as vet officially. though the matter has been discussed with them by various members of the body.
 The present Board or Revenue desires to have an expression from the people once more as to the building of new courthouse. and does not like to take the initiative by starting the constrnc- tioD of an annex as yet.
 The matter Is destined to be one of live interest in January, when the new coun- ty officers assume their duties. One of the first acts of Judge Stiles may be to call an election to decide on the choice of the courthouse or annex

 Railroad and State of Mrs.
 woodwsrd's Health
FUNERAL OCCURS TODAY

The earthly remains of the late William H. Woodward. whose death occurred at Weld, Me, last Friday. may rest finally in Birmingham. Information was re- ceived In Birmingham last night that probably in the spring, when travelling from Weld is not so difficult as at this season, final interment will be made in Birmingham.
 It is not known here what decision has been reached by Mrs. Woodward and Harvey Woodward in regard to the final disposition of the late MT. Woodward's S remains. However, 1t Is generally ac- cepted that Mrs. Woodward, in consid- eration Of the desire of Birminghams people to do honor to her husbands re- mains, may have tentatively agreed to remove his remains here at more sea- sonable time. The weather and long jour ney from Weld to this city would preclude the possibility of such a trip on Mrs. Woodward's part at this time
 In & message to friends in Birmingham received last night Eugene L. Brown, the personal representative of the late MT. Woodward, advised that the funeral would be simple and in keeping with the unostentatious life which had been led in Birmingham for more than 25 years by the departed citizen. Sol Woodward, a brother of the late William II. Wood ward, of Providence, R. l.. and Mrs. Sol Woodward have reached Weld to attend the obseques. In addition Harvey Wood- ward, the only son of the deceased, has reached his fathers late home Harvey
 With the few relatives and friends pres ent the funeral services will take place this morning at 10 o'clock
 Weld had been the summer home of Mir. Woodward for the past 15 years. He spent the past summer here, however and went to Weld only about three weeks ago. The indspostion of Mrs. Wood ward decided him in making the trip to Weld so late in the summer. He was to accompany his wife to Birmingham and later to their Florida home, where the winter was to have been passed
 Adviees received here last night said that MT. woodward died from an attac,, of heart trouble. which began a short time after he reached Maine The ad- vices stated he met death with calmness and courage, in keeping with life char acterized by courage and independent thought.
 At the conclusion of the funeral serv- ices today 1t is understood that Eugene Brown, who has been in Weld since Sat urday. will leave for Birmingham

THE MORGAN SANITATION
Magnate and Son on Separation d,
Not Hesitate to Kiss in Public.

William Bullock in Brooklyn Eagle.
Two men amused a crowd of railroad
passengers in Long Island City Wednes-
day by kissing each other on the cheek.
They looked like father and son-the old
man, tall, hale and hearty, with a snow
white beard the young man lean and
muscular and straight as a pine. They
cared nothing for the scoffers around
them, and there was no reason why they
should. " Q have grown to ridicule the
kiss as form of salutation between men
of all ties of blood or friendship. 1t was
not always so. for kissing the cheek was
custom honored by the Jews. the Greeks
and the Romans, and it survives. in an
explosive sort of way, among the French.
Here and there, however, in our rfgidly
undemonstrative American world, strik-
ing exceptions to the rule may be found
Thus J. Pierpont Morgan and his son
show not the slightest hesitation in kiss
ing the cheek in public. Always before a
separation they salute each other In this
way, and it hardly will be denied that
they are men of vigorous stamp, both
physically and mentally. There Is a pow
erful bond of affection between the f1nan-
cial car and his son and heir, and scores
of times they have kissed heartily before
a whole shipload of passengers, proceed
ing with a supreme and admira BILE indif-
ference of what the world might think or
say.

their confessions at the association din
ner to disclose the full extent of the
craze and its paralyzing effects.
Three hundred performances OF grand
opera in 20 weeks season. with 81 tho
aires of various classes appealing for
patronage and 600 moving picture shows
on the play-going public. There are linn
ty for absorbing amusement and culture
There are limitations to its eagerness for
novelty and bounds to its expenditure
for entertainment.
Some curtaiment of this over-supply
OF stage attractions is clearly needed,
not alone in the interest Of the box-office,
but in plain justice to playgoers. For
to this oyer-stimulation of the theatrical
industry are due not only the dwinding
audiences, but the bad plays and incom-
petent companies. The forcing process
has proved harmful to all concerned.
Its effect is well illustrated by the re-
mark of Mr. Hayman that he knows
"only three actresses and one actor who
can be relied on as drawing cards in
America today" The statement bears
eloquent witness to the standards of the
New York stage a quarter of a century
after DAILY and Wallack.
How is the remedy to be applied? 1t IS
not to be supposed that the trust meth
cd of dismantling unproductive plants will
be resorted to while new theatres con-
tinue TO spring up mushroom-like. Yet
the prediction of foreclosure sales If the
present conditions prevail shows their
seriousness to managers.

WHEAT ADVANCES
IN ACTIVE MARKET
Prices Fluctuate Erratically
During Days Trading.
CASH DEMAND rs SLOW
Corn Is Heavy All Dny and the Close
shows Decline With Figures Near
BOttom-Oats Close Lower and
Little Change in Provisions.

Chicago. February 21.-Wheat was ner-
vous and cratic today, fiuctuatng from
7sc TO 1Ikc and closing steady, unchanged
to nc up. Corn dragged throughout the
session and closed weak. Oats were slug
eish and kept within narrow limits, while
provisions started strong on the advance
in live hog prices and later lost some of
the early gain.
A good market for July wheat developed
today. the shorts hurrying to cover on
that delivery and new investors taking
hold. Influenced by an increased number
OF prospects damage reports May was
neglected in the buying most of the time
and sagged from 81 .14% to $1.13A, making
up part of the loss late in the session and
closing unchanged from Saturdays final
figures. Demand for cash wheat was slow
and there was little call for flour in the
northwest. Fluctuations in the distant flu
lures were from &c to 1Bc, July running
up from 81. 041h to 81 .055s, closing at 81 .051s
were 81. IDOL .14s.
Corn was heavy all day and fell off
from sc to &c from the high points I'M
der the stress of a poor demand for cash
corn.
Towards the close prices lifted slightly
from the low point. May Travelled down
from 66%c to 657sQ66c. The close was
weak at near the low point, with May at
66lkc, sc lower than final figures Satur-
day.
Trading in the oats pit was relatively
dull the market showing neither the
weakness of corn nor the fluctuations of
wheat A rush of selling, induced by the
weakness of corn, was checked by COM
paratively good buying by elevator and
shipping interests
May fell off from 473sq471ac to 47d471sc,
and with the other futures closed weak at
near the bottom. Final figures for May
were 471sc, a shade lower than Saturdays
final quotations.
Provisions opened strong, from &c to zoe
up, Influenced by an advance of from
Sc to 10c in live hog prices, which today
made a record price since 1870, selling at
50 50. More gains followed the opening
trades and May pork went up to $2 SO,
10c higher than the initial sale. Later
in the session prices trailed off under in
fuential selling credits to packers, and
at the close pork and lard were from 212c
to TIC above Saturdays final figures, and
ribs were unchanged from the previous
close.
Closing prices for the May products
were: Pork, $2S.671s; lard, $l2.75; ribs,
S12 45.
The board of trade will be closed tomor-
row, Washington's birthday.
