mon Elder.

Wichita Kan, April 11.-With the

Jimmy Gardner Will Meet Klaus for
Middleweight Honors.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 11.-F'rank Klaus.
the "Pittsburg Bear Cat" will meet
Jimmy Gardner, of Boston, in a six
round bout here tonight. Fit and right
to the smallest detail and enthusiastic
over the chance to make his record
perfect again by wiping out the defeat
he suffered at Gardner's hands in Bos-
ton some time ago, Klaus has express
ed his appreciation Of the contract he
has on hand.
The bout is awaited by fight fans
throughout the country because of the
work of the two men during the past
Is months, and a probability that one
of them will succeed the late Stanley
Ketchell as the middleweight champion.
Gardner is regarded as one of the best
fighters of his class today and if Klaus
can get the popular decision-the only
one allowed here-he thinks he will
have a good claim to the middleweight
title.
Under police rules in this city, fight
ers must pass an official physical ex-
animation "a hours before they enter
the ring, and the official examiner last
night declared he never passed upon a
better prepared. pair of men, for Gard
ner, too, is in grand trim.

a dream about six weeks ago, and
since then the matter has preyed upon
his mind so strongly that he could not
sleep. Hillyer mentioned the threat
ening danger to several persons.
Hillyer began to prepare for what
he considered a predestined accident
to himself. AS he Travelled considera-.
bly, he held several accident insurance
policies Some of these had lapsed be-
fore the disturbing dream, but they
were ouickly brought into force again.
HiIlyer stepped directly in front of
a moving train. The entire string of
81 cars and the switch engine passed
over Hillyer's leg. Brakeman White,
who was on the rear end of the shift
of cars. heard a faint call, but did not
see HiIlyer. However, he stopped the
train and then saw Hillyer sitting be-
side the track holding his leg.

"CTty Beautiful Agitation Narrow
and Incomprehensive Lecturer Says.

New York. April 11.-Pittsburg and
Boston are the only American cities
which have considered the problem of
city planning in practical way. ac-
cording to Professor George B. Ford,
of Columbia Lecturing before a pop
ular audience last night, Professor
Ford said:
"It is strange that the most prac-
teal nation in the world should heed
the cry for the city beautiful rather
than for the city logical, convenient,
healthful and business like There
are 20 or 80 cities in America that
have taken up city planning, but only
two have treated the subject in COM
prehensive. practical way. One of
the two is perhaps Americas most
business like city, the other is her
most artistic. Pittsburg and Boston
alone. have kept prominently before
that city is. essentially place to live
and work in. =
Thus, attention has been given to
housing, transit and transportation
by land and by water, and to, the To-
cation of factories. Recreational
features, such as Fairgrounds, neigh
borhood centers and the location of
baths, gymnasiums, libraries, etc,
have been considered in relation to
housing The proper distribution of
parks and boulevards and city en-
bellishments, have been taken up
with strict references to the foregoing
features.

gram of this sort that city can fill

HIGH COST OF GRAND OPERA.
Increased Cost of Living Invades
''High Brow" Theatrical World.

New York, April f1.-The increased
cost of living will be felt by opera
goers here next fall. The board of
directors of the Metropolitan Opera
house has notified all its subscribers
that the price of seats in the orchestra
and orchestra circle will be raised
from So to Sc. The directors state
ment follows:
In former years the public was
satisfied if the performances present
ed included some leading stars, and
the production of opera involved,
consequently little expense aside from
the outlay for soloists. But the opera
goers of today demand the best per-
Torrance from every point of view.
To give performances measuring up
to the standard now required, neces-
states the engagement of the most
eminent conductors, the training of a
we'll equipped orchestra of artists, a
thoroughly drilled chorus and general
accessories which will satisfy the most
fastidious demands, all of which,
with the added factor of the general
rise in the cost of all labor and ma
terials, has caused an enormous in
crease in the expense of the produc-
ton of OPERA"
