WANTS TO PURCHASE RANGE
Will Meet With Much Opposition or
Part of Officers and Men Of Nation
al Guard of State.

Columbia.-It is said that the prop.
osition to purchase the rife range at
Charleston by the state of South Car
olina for a permanent range will meet
with much opposition on the part Of
the officers and men OF the National
Guard of this state. 1t is very likely
that w. w. Moore, adjutant general.
will submit the question to the mill
tary advisory committee for de-
cision. 1t is said that the matter
will be brought up at the annual
meeting of the National Guard as
sociation when a spirited contest is
expected on the part Of those opposed
to the movement.
The plan that has been proposed
Is to use the money not given for en-
campment purposes this year for the
rifle range. There is surplus OF
about $4,000 for the use Of the war
department Of the state. Under the
present arrangement the state of
South Carolina pays an annual rental
of about 5000 for the use Of the
range In Charleston which Is con-
sidered one of the best In the couu-
try. 1t Is understood that half OF the
land occupied by the range can be
secured for s17,500.
Those in position say that many OF
the officers Of the National Guard de-
sire to use the extra amount for O
longer encampment next year.
The lease of the state on the Char
lesion range will expire next May.

MinneSOtd'S Future Relations
with Conference IS Chief
Question
10y Associated Press.)

CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-Minnesota's future
relations with western conference foot
ball. as well as that of Michigan, was
one of the chief questions to be decided
today at the annual meeting of the rep
resentatives of the conference of uni
versities known as the big Eight"
Summer baseball is another matter
scheduled to occupy a great part of the
attention of the conference Minnesota
is prepared to come to the meeting with
demand that summer baseball for foot
ball players be permitted without affect
ing the standing of a player as an anna
teur. In this stand the University Of
Illinois is expected to lend it's aid. All
other teams of the conference, however.
planned to oppose this rule. Wisconsin
announced it came to the conference de-
termined upon sevcn-game schedule for
next year, with Minnesota, Chicago and
Nebraska as the choice for final games.
The schedule this year was said to be
satisfactory to the other members Of the
conference also, and little change is ex-
pected unless Minnesota dropped out, or
Michigan in.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Dec. O.
At joint meeting of the Bnai Zion
association and Maccabean Zionist
society of San Antonio, the members
of the two organizations, all Ameri-
can citizens, adopted q resolution
urging Congress and the president
of the United States to terminate
the treaty between the United
States and Russia entered into in
1882. BY the terms Of this treaty
Russia claims the right, and, it is
claimed, does discriminate between
American citizens on the grounds of
race and religious belief. The reso-
luton recites that as a consequence
American citizens who are Jews are
excluded from Russia and are sub
ject to the same class of restrictions
as the Russian government imposes
upon it's own inhabitants who are
Jews, all of which is contrary to the
plain wording and meaning of the
treaty. Copies of the resolution ac-
companied by petitions VIII be sent
to the United States senators and
Congressman from Texas.
