BUSH FIGHTING LOAN SHARKS.
Ask Employees to Tell Management of
Money Troubles.

President B. F. Bush OF the Missouri
Pacific-Iron Mountain has issued in
structions to the various heads of de-
partments to notify their employees
that they will not jeopardize their po-
sitionS by contesting unjust claims
made by the money sharks. Mr.. Bush
thinks that the custom of taking ad-
vantage of the needs of people, tenn
porarily embarrassed financially, by
charging usurious rates of interest on
loans of money advanced is a nefarious
one, and he does not propose that his
company shall aid in keeping its en-
ployees in the clutches of the loan
sharks.

in discussing the plans for the outdoor
season. which is now on in earnest at
the University of Virginia. Pop Lanni-

ton in regard to schedule that is be-
ing mapped out for the track team.
Negotiations are pending with the
United States Naval Academy for dual
meet to take place at Annapolis early
in May. Although nothing definite has
been heard from the Sailors thus far,
local authorities are of the opinion that
n agreement will be reached. Some
years have passed since Virginia and the
Naval Academy have met in any branch
of sports, and a renewal of athletic rela-
tions would be appreciated by followers
OF both institutions.
Orange and Blue athletes are of suffi-
GENTLY high caliber to compete with
Uncle Sans boys as has been demon

stirring foot ball battle that will long
be remembered by Virginia adherents.

Kelly, who played fullback for George
town on its championship eleven In
1910, will re-enter that school this week.
The former fulIback has given it as his
intention to go back into the law depart
ment of the university and finish his
education in that branch. Kelly has
decided to complete the course he began
two years ago, and will enter school i'm
mediately. in order that he may finish
his course without losing a full year,
and also that he may be eligible to play
on the foot ball team next fall.
Kelly played a dashing game at full
for the Blue and Gray in 1910. and
was rated as one of the best backfield
men in the south, both Extensively and
defensively. His work during the lat
ter part of that season practically as
sures him of a regular berth on the
next years eleven. He was one of the
most aggressive players in the south.
and that he will prove of much value
to the Hilltoppers on the gridiron next
fall is almost foregone conclusion.
