State Fair Grounds Improvements.

State Fair Grounds Improvements.
A new street car entrance to the
state fair grounds between Walnut
and Logan streets is contemplated by
the state fair association. The pur-
chase and condemnation Of ten acres
of ground to the south and west OF
the fair grounds will permit many
improvements. Although the street
car service last year was the best
in the history Of the state fair, &C
cording to A. R. Corey, secretary OF
the fair association, the service can
be improved greatly by providing
greater storage track for cars. The
proposed new entrance will permit
the laying of side tracks to accom-.
modate fifty cars. On the new ground
to the south and west of the fair
grounds, the new sheep barns will
be erected and . part Of the new
barns for horses will be erected
thereon.

RICHARDS IS FREED
Former Deputy United States
Marshal Will Leave Prison
GREAT IOWA CRIMINAL CASE
Because Of His Advanced Age and
His Good Behavior While In Pen
itentiary Parole Board Re-
commends Release.

Des Moines.-William A. Richards,
one time deputy United States mar
shall and later convicted of burglary
and sent to the state penitentiary at
Fl. Madison, will be paroled by Gov
srnor Carroll in a few days.
Richards is now 60 years of age.
His record at the penitentiary has
been good and the board of parole
has recommended to the governor
that, under the present system of
parole, the prisoner be given a chance
to make good under the usual con.
ditions imposed upon paroled man.
Richards was convicted of burglary
In September, 1908, and was sentenc'
ed to an eighteen-year term by Judge
Appiegate of Guthrie county. The
robbery occurred In the town Of
Hamilton, Iowa. Two pals" entered
house and obtained $4,000 in cash.
One of them was shot while trying
TO escape and he "peachsd" on Rich
ards and accused him Of completely
in the crime. Richards was at that
time living with his family at Ores
rem county on change of venue
from Marion county, where the crime
was committed. Richards was found
guilty and sentenced. The case was
appealed to the supreme court and
the judgment of the county court AZ
drmed.
Richards was taken to Fl. Madison
and entered the penitentiary May 3,
1905. He has been in prison seven
years, and owing to his good behav'
Tor, there and advanced age. the
state board of parole recommended
his parole, which Governor Carroll
looked upon with favor.
To Inspect Drained Lakes.
The secretary OF state left this
week for various points over the
state in the interests of the execu'
tive council, to inspect reclaimed lake
bodies which form state lands.
The lake beds throughout the
state, both in drained and undrained
lands, belong to the state. BY a sur
vey made many years ago the loca'
tons of the banks were determined
by the high water mark at that time,
which in many cases has changed
now. The question has arisen as to
what to do with the reclaimed land.
Some of it has been sold and some
Is being farmed with knowledge OF
tho state and with the state receiving
no benefit therefrom.
The old custom has been for the
state executive council to pay for the
drainage. If the land was sold tho
profits left after the drainage ex-
penses were paid went to the county
road funds. 1t was thus found more
profitable to rent the lands out to
nearby farmers.
Many applications have come in
from various counties from farmers
to have certain lakes drained. 1t IS
the purpose of Secretary Haywards
trip to look into all affairs connected
with these reclaimed lands. He will
visit Wright, Hancock, Kossuth, Palo
Alto and Emmett counties before his
return.

GEORGETOWN ELEVEN
COMES FAST At END
Has Played Much Better Foot
Ball in Second Half in
Last Two Games.

Although the Georgetown foot ball team
was scored upon by North Carolina in
the contest at Richmond, still it should
feel proud of its showing. The coaches
had keyed the team up for the Carlisle
game, and had strong hopes of win
ming the big contest. They worke d
all during the fall with the hope of W n
ming from the redskins. 1t is the usual
thing that after a big game similar to
the one that was staged on Georgetown
Field against Carlisle the team would
meet with a setback. ALI during the past
week the men have been worked very
easily and given the rest that they
needed. The coaches feared that If they
worked the team hard the eleven would
go stale.
When the team left for Richmond the
coaches believed theat the men were in
for a hard game, because with Dunn out
of the lineup the team by mo- means
looked formidable. White was in very
poor physical condition and was forced
into the contest
One thing noticeable about the Blue and
Gray eleven is the distinct style of foot
ball played by the team in both halves of
the last two contests. The team never
seems to get under way until the last ha I
has begun. At Richmond Saturday
North Carolina during the early part of
the contest. For a time 1t looked as
though the hilltop team was in for a de-
feat. Now it is believed tina. the team
before the contest starts does not receive
enough warming up. This might account
for the weak showing made by the men n
the early part of the game because never
do they run through Signals any longer
than two minutes before the game starts.
Every team this season has been able to
get the jump on the Georgetown eleven,
and at no time has Georgetown been able
to show it's best form III the early part
OF the contest.
The coaches are to work on this fault
during the coming two weeks. They are
going to try to get the team started
early. SO that they will not be forced to
pay an uphill game.
Several changes are to be contemplated
during the remaining games. Capt. He
garty and Petritz. the two tackles. were
injured In the game Saturday, and they
will not be able to play until the Vir-
sinia game. Petritz injured his knee
ear in the contest and was supplanted
by Moriarty. Capt. Hegarty injured both
his knee and his ankle. He is at present
at the Georgetown University Hospital,
and will remain there until the injuries
have healed sufficiently to allow him to
don a suit again.
The showing of Moriarty at tackle was
gratifying. and there is a strong possi-
bility of him playing in this position dur
ing the remainder of the season. Mori-
arty is fast In getting down the field un-
der kicks, and this is what the team is

BACKF|ELD POSITION
BrookIanders' Team Coming
and Expects to Show Well
Against Dickinson.

Catholic University's foot ball team to-
day starts its practice for the Dickinson
game next Saturday. The form shown by
the team in last Saturdays game. when
IL won from Delaware College, has given
some promise that they will be able to
put up good game next Saturday. The
coaches are somewhat pleased with the
showing the team made as whole and
are hopeful. They are at sea to under
stand why the team after advancing the
ball up the field some sixty yards to with
in it's opponents 1O-yard line are unable
to go any further No less than on eight
different occasions this year has the team
advanced the ball from Its territory to
within its opponents 1O-yard line and has
failed on each occasion to score. Aside
from this the game brought to light
many good points and unearthed four
good men. Since the absence Of McDon-
aid and Clark, Coach McDevitt has been
trying to develop men to fill their places,
and this he probably has accomplished
at last. Moran and O'Dea are the mcn.
and II Saturdays game Is to be taken as
