TO BUILD AUDITORIUM
Penn College and Chautauqua Will
Unite in the Enterprise.

Big business received attention at
the hands Of the executive commit
tee Of the Penn College Board Mon.
day evening. Present at the meet.
ing were members H. d. Lane, w. A.
Johnson, Irving c. Johnson, Fred
Caldwell, Frank T. Nash, Harlan
Meredith, w. w. Williams, President
d. NJ. Edwards, S. NJ. and A. J. Had.
ley.
Plans and propositions of the Chau.
tauqua Board, for the erection of a
permanent audience building on the
Penn college campus, to be used for
the purposes of the Chautauqua, were
up for discussion following investiga,
ton, and all features had careful con.
sideration.
1t was the sense of the meeting
that the college would concur in the
action of the Chautauqua Association
if the proposition could be financed.
The idea Of the permanent auditor.
ium building had favorable consider
alton and as it has already been
sanctioned by the ChautauQua asso-
citation, the proposition is in a fair
way to be carried to completion at
once.
Penn college becomes jointly inter.
ested in the new building with the
Chautauqna and should the time
come when the Chautauqua would
discontinue its annual meetings the
ownership of the building reverts to
the college. The Chautauqua asso.
citation will assist in the erection of
the building and will pay a rental for
the use of the building and grounds.
The college will have control and
care of the same, and will also find
use for them on many occasions dur
ing the year
The whole matter has been left in
the hands of joint committee repre-
Senting the Chautauqua and the col
lege, and they are already asking for
bids on plans and specifications. The
building it is hoped may be ready for
and the dedication
exercises may be held therein on the
Fourth of July. Many details re-
main to be worked out and much pre-.
liminary work is to be done, but the
Improvement is practically assured.

GEORGIA SENATOR CONTINUES
To PRESIDE IN SENATE

Washington, January 1.-THE sight
of democrat presiding over the de-
liberations of republican senate
probably will be common sight dur
ing the remainder of the present ses-
sion. This peculiar situation was
virtually assured today when Senator
Gallinger announced that he would
not at this time press his motion for
the election of president protempore
of the senate. He is the candidate of
the regular republicans for the place
but the democrats in coalition with
the insurgent republicans have sup
rort'd Senator Bacon, and there has
been long deadlock.
Senator Bacon will continue to pre-.
side in the absence of the vice presl-
dent.
