PLAN HUGE OLYMPIA.
Polo Grounds to Be Made Successor to
Madison Square Garden.

New York, May 5.-The steel and con-
c4ete stadium of the New York Ma
tional league baseball club is to be only
one detail of a s6.OOO.OOO Olympia
which will be built on the Polo grounds.
atSStic activities of all kinds.
The plan is to construct an am
phitheater, stadium and athlete field
Garden as the scenes of the city s
great public exhibitions and sport
shows.
The property affected comprises 80
acres fronting on the Harlem river be
meath historic "Coogan's Bluff" The
entire estate is owned by Mrs. Harriet
G.. Coogan, who will finance the enter
prise. Preparations for the change
have been under way for the past SIX
months, and the plans are now in the
hands of a prominent firm of arch1-
tects.
Hold Horse Show There.
The National Horse Show association
and other similar associations have al
most without exception expressed
themselves as heartily in favor of hold
ing their exhibitions in the new
grounds as the most suitable place
after the passing of Madison Square
Garden.
It is planned to lay out, adjoining the
baseball stadium, a large polo field
with club house and grandstand. Next
to this will be a field for track and
field sports, with club houses, training
quarters and grandstand. The main
amphttheater, larger than the present
Madison Square Garden, will be $50 feet
wide and 800 feet long. Adjoining it will
be stables available for horses, cattle.
poultry and dogs, and garages for auto
mobiles. Beyond these buildings on the
bank of the Harlem river will be the
boat houses of the City Rowing and
Aquatic clubs and landing places for
excursion boats and yachts.
All the buildings are to be fire proof
Much of the property to be used is az
present held on leases, but as fast as
these expire, the buildings will be torn
down to make room for the new
structures.

WANTS Them OUSTED.
Woman City Marshal of Hunnewell
Complains to Governor.

Mrs. Rosie E. Osborn, city marshal.
and Mrs. Alice Hilton, city clerk, of
Hunnewell, the woman governed city on
the south line of the state in Sumner
county, have appealed to the governor
and attorney general to GUST the mem
bers of the city council and to come
down and help them sit on "the lid"
The governor received a long letter
from the city officials. Mrs. Ella Will
son, the mayor, did not join in the re-
quest, although she was vitality inter-
ested.- The city council has been doing
spect to the woman mayor and the
jointists do not seem to be paying much
attention to the city marshal, at least
the liquor continues to get scattered
about the little town.
The mayor appointed Mrs. Hilton
city clerk and Mrs. Osborn city mar
shall. The city's books and council rec
ords were turned over to the new city
clerk. A meeting of the council was
called for a vacant store room. The
mayor, city clerk and city marshal
were there but none of the five council
men showed up. About an hour after
the meeting time one of the councilmen
came around and asked for the council
records and he told the mayor that the
meeting was being held in a hotel
room. The women would not go. The
governor is asked if this isn't sufficient
cause Ior GUSHING the i've cOuncliIlF9n
as they did not obey the mayors sum-
mons. Also the councilmen allowed
some city bills and ordered them paid.
The mayor was not present when this
was done and she has refused to o. K.
the warrants.
One member of the council is the
agent for the Santa Fe at Hunnewell.
The city marshal says much liquor ar
r1ves every day and the depot agent
won't tell her who gets it and she is
having trouble ferreting out the dis
pensers of the wet goods. The city
marshal wants help to stop the sales of
| liquor.

asserted which is most important Of
all; that such writer's would always

One of the strange things about the
alleged systematic crushing out Of the
little fellow by the big fellow in the
business world l. that the former
seldom takes advantage of the clause
in the Sherman law which provides
that where there has been a conspir-

The department OF justice seems to
be moro careful about the interests
of the public than the public itself
is. Individual suits brought under
the Sherman law are comparatively
infrequent. Were every small dealer
to take his wrongs into court, dis
elimination by big concerns against
little ones would begin to prove costly
and would soon stop.
