ASK CITY TO SUE
YALE EXpERTFOR
$1,000 SCHOOL FEE
President Mitchell Says Prof.

but Got Paid.

president John Purroy Mitchell and mis-
colleagues on the Committee on School
Inquiry. whose Investigations into the
public school system have covered .
period Of more than a year. are in
eensed over the attitude Of Prof. Il. c.
Moore OF Yale, one of the experts" re-
tanned by the committee In behalf Of the
city. to suggest reforms In public school
education.
Prof. Moore made q report upon the
organization and methods OF the Board
Of Education. but that report, the COM
mttee says. was so thoroughly at vart-
ance with the alleged facts and 50 con-
demnatory of city officials. that the COM
mittee now demands that the city sue
Prof. Moore to recover the large fees
paid to him out Of the city treasury for
the work he failed to do"
The committee rendered q report to
the Board of Estimate to-day embody-
ing in II the suggestio that a resolu-
ton be adopted calling upon the Cor
poration Counsel to bring suit against
the Yale professor.
Referring to the report Of Prof.
Moore. the committee says:
1T discloses tho fact that many broad
allegations. generaliDations and conclu-
sions are stated without any facts cited
In support thereof. 1t discloses further
that the report. in a large measure, IL
false and misleading. that untrue state
msnts of facts are made. and that
charges are formulated against the
Board Of Education, tho Board Of Est.
mate. the Finance Department and va
rious departments of the city govern
ment. without any supporting facts. In
many instances these allegations and
charges. As far as the committee has
been able to learn, are without found
datton OF truth. In very many other
Instances your committee has proof
posihve that they are untrue"
The committee adds that Professor
Aoore's attitude otherwise was extra
ordinary In that he desired to know tht
political significance of the committed
work. Discovering that Professor
Moore was to sail for Europe, Presiden
Mitchell addressed q letter to the Pro
lessor containing 223 questions IN which
President Mitchell sought to ascertain
how the Professor reached his conclus
ions. But the Professor sailed ava,
without answering until his travel
abroad had been we'll expended. TheI
Professor Moore wrote.

BY oscAR B. a1NaR1cH.

The amateur wrestling and boxing
tournament which is to take place in
the Deseret gymnasium January is,
10 and 20 will give the public an op-
portunity OF witnessing the first box
ing contests conducted in this state on
a strictly amateur basis,
Recently the new city commissioners
were debating the controlling of glove
contests in Salt Lake and for some
reason the question was asked:
''What is the difference between a
boxing contest and prize fight?'
/ have tried to the best of my knowl
edge and experience in athletics and
gymnastics TO answer this question, not
for the purpose of criticising local con-
ditions in the fighting game, but for
the purpose of conveying 10 the sport
loving public Of Salt Lake the true
difference between what is commonly
advertised as boxing contest and
the tournament which is at present
being advertised as the 'fBoxing and
Wrestling Championships of the State
Of Utah.
There will not be great deal OF
difference, so far as the actual box
ing is concerned between this tourua-
ment and other boxing contests which
have taken place, but the conditions
under which it will be conducted are
vastly different
/ shall however, endeavor TO ex-
plain tho difference between boxing

Fights for Money Prizes.
Prize fights, as is generally under

tests arranged not only to decide the
superiority of one individual over an

participants agree to divide the gate
receipts-that is, the winner will re"
celve all the money taken in at the
gate, and the loser will receive moth

be divided IN such proportions that the
winner will receive larger percent
age. Sometimes the percentage is on
an equal basis but very infrequently.

with these prize fights is not. so much

Bill No. 40, the cold, blaek-typed
heading for the measure which Is in.

Wilson of his power and perhaps the
Office he holds, will come up before the
board of supervisors at noon today for
second reading.
just when the bill will come up for
third and final reading is not known to
the county clerk, as the supervisors
may elect TO hold a meeting Thursday
or Friday. 1t is quite possible that
the four supervisors who are putting
the bill through will want the power of
doing all the street work placed in the
hands of City Engineer Gere by Febru-
airy !, or before that, for the city en-
gineer may have some one in sight to

sign the measure. The mayor so far
sees no reason why he shouldn't at

.BOURBONS NOW
STRIP FOR FRAY
McCandless Again Candidate for
Delegate, but No Hint Of
Other Seekers Yet.
(From Mondays Advertiser.)


The hau tree campaign is on. The
Democrats are stripped for the fray
and, if one is to believe all they say,
they are sure of victory.
They are so sure that, still accord
ing to some of their leaders, they are
net going to spend any money in elect
ing their candidates. Instead their
political red Ere will burn brightly un.
der such hospitable hau trees as they
may be able to discover, and they arc
going to elect Link McCandless in the
place of Cupid beyond any reasonable
doubt. They say SO Themselves.
According to- the same mouthpieces
of the party there is nothing but har.
mony to be found inside the Bourbon
camp. All is peace. The foes of Nc
Candless have been muzzled and all
that now remains to be done is to re-
organize and reorganize as speedily as
possible.
In order to be ready with the goods
when the election day comes round the
captains of the cohorts are already get
ting down to hard work. Thursday
night there was meeting of the faith
full at the Occidental Hotel that was
addressed by Charles Barron, 7. Ryan,
Mr.. Wolter and others. At that meet
ing the plans for the Forthcoming fight
were outlined. 1t was determined that
"the voice of the party demands the
election of Link McCandless as the sue
cessor of Prince Cupid,'' or words to
that effect.
The campaign editorials, printed in
The Advertiser, came in for good deal
of attention, and it was then and there
decided that the fight was to be made
without the aid of a "yellow dog
fund" or a "slush fund.- or any of
the usual financial attributes to politi-
cal campaigns here and elsewhere. In
stead everything was to be reduced to
the last degree of Jeffersonian simplic-
ity. No great halls are to reecho to
the addresses of Soap Box Barron or
John Wilson or Joe Fern this campaign.
Quite the contrary. Churches will
house the crowds that assemble to hear
the Bourbon orators and when churches
can not be found an effort will be made
to discover some friendly hau tree.
However, the question of meetings
will not come up for a time yet. The
party has still to gather the hearers for
such affairs and this is the work that
is being put through by Link McCand-
less, c. Barron, t. Ryan, Supervisor
Mcclellan, Joe Fern and Others. They
are now hard at it organizing the ranks
into fighting shape.
Rightly or wrongly they are announc-
ing to all that their own internal
wounds are healed until now they arc
in position TO take advantage of the
breaches they claim to see in the Re
publican ranks.
