PINCHOT PLAN OF
WATER CONTROL FAVORED

Washington, Nov. 22-Victory for
Of water power grants was virtually
assured in the national conservation
congress when the resolutions COM
mittee determined that the congress
had taken the water power question
out of the handsS. .yofzonetaoinnn
out of it's hands. The majority and
minority reports of the water power
committee, the latter favored by Gift
ford Pinchot and former Secretary of
War Stimson, now will be returned to
the convention for final disposition.
The vote by states on the prelimi-
nary report caused champions of fed
eral as opposed to state control to ex-
press confidence that the Pinchot re-
port would be adopted.
A threatened break in the mem
bership of the congress was averted
when the resolutions committee ac-
cepted two resolutions from Dudley
G. Wooten of Washington state, one
of the leaders in the states rights
movement One resolution would di-
rect that the National Conservation
congress at its next convention pro-
vide for an equal division of time
for waterways and forestry discus
sion. Another would urge the or
ganiZation of state conservation con-
crosses to cooperate with the ma
tional congress.
81 understand" said Mr.. Wooten,
"that some of the Arkansas dele
gates have left the convention, but
we have not and do not intend to.
We realize that we are in the minor
ity, but believe that our resolutions
will be accepted by the convention,
and that we can get a better hear
ing next time"

Sensational Year
In English Races

London, Nov. 22.-One Of the most
sensational years in the history of the
British turf closed today at Manches-
ter, when the curtain was rung down
on the "fat" racing season. Bettors
retired to the "winter quarters" rue
fully looking over their bankrolls and
feeling glad that the season was over,
for of the tWenty-eight most import
ant races not single favorite scored,
and the odds against most of the win
ners were quite hopeless from the
point of view of the "sane" backer,
who is not disposed to throw away
good money on 'long Shots"
The disqualification of the Derby
winner, Craganour, the awarding of
the race to the 100 to 1 shot, Abeyeur,
and the pulling down of King
Georges horse, Anmer, in the same
race, would have been sensation
enough Tor one year, but there were
also the suffragette outrage in the AS
cot Gold Cup which undoubtedly rob
bed August Belmont's Tracery of that
valuable prize, the unexpected defeat
of that animal in the Newmarket Club
Stakes, the day after the sum of $780,
600 had been refused for him, and the
equally amazing refeat of. Pilking-
tons Prince Palatine two days after
the horse had been sold to S. B. Joel
for $22O,0OO.
The season opened in sensational
style, for in the first big race of the
year, E. L. Davis well-backed candi-
date, Cuthbert, was disqualified for
foul riding, and the Lincolnshire Han
dicap stakes awarded to the 100 to 8
outsider, Berrildon. The stewards are
exceptionally busy early in the season
and the disqualification of several 9TH
er well-fancied candidates in minor
races added to the troubles of the
hackers. The Queen Prize at Kemp
ton fell to Rivoli, who started almost
friendless at 100 to 8, the Newbury
Spring Cup to Aldegond at 20 to /,
the Chester Cup to The Cutler at 40
Imperial Valley press., 1913-11-22

to l, and the Kempton Jubilee Stakes
to Absolute at 33 to /.
The great classic" races for three
year-olds, proved disastrous, for in
addition to the disqualification Of Cra-
ganour, who was favorite, in the Der
by, the 1000 Guineas was won by Lou
vols, starting at 25 to /, and the st.
Leger by 30 to 1 shot in Night
Hawk. Only S. B. Joel's Jest, who
won the 100 guineas and the Oaks
was at reasonable price @ to l and
8 to /, respectively; but few profited
by the filly's dual success beyond her
astute owner and his friends. Any
thing less than IA to / was a surpris-
ing price for a big winner, but the
bowling over of the odds on Prince
Palatine in the Goodwood Cup, by the
100 to chance, Catmint, followed by
the success of the despised Fitz-Yama,
starting at so to /, in the Caesare-
witch, and Cantilever at 33 to 1 in the
Cambridgeshire Stakes, proved the
last straws.
American owners did poorly in the
season which ended today. Harry
Payne Whitney in particular, had a
heartbreaking sequence in seconds
and thirds, for which his few wins by
no means compensated. August Bel
mont's Tracery promised to be the
champion of the year, but bad luck
pursued him throughout the Ascot
outrage and kept him out of action
for some time. King George won two
or three races with moderate horses,
but the royal livery was not seen to
advantage. The one outstanding ami
NAL of the year was Dermot Mccall
mont's phenomenal wo-year-old, The
Tetrarch, who won all his races with
superlative ease, in year of good
two-year-olds, and who is already
screaming hot favorite for next years
Derby. McCalmont was offered $685.
900 for this oddly marked grey colt,
but he does not need the money and
declares that he would not accept
twice that amount.

Margaret Wilson
On Social Center

Copyright 1913 by United Press)
Washington, Nov. 21-"Private in
terests are organized, therefore pow
erful. Only when public interests are
organized will the supremacy of the
common interest be universally recog-
nized"
Thus Margaret Wilson, the presi-
dents daughter, summed up the pivot
al points of the movement for the use
of school houses as social centers, in
an interview to the United Press.
Miss Wilson had an opportunity to
study the working of the plan dur
ing her visit to Madison, Wis. She
sees in it closer study by the people of
governmental political problems.
Machinery for this organization of
public interest is the common school
system, with every schoolhouse as q
social CENTER" she said. Every
school building should be made the
polling place for its district, and then
the voting body of each district should
he organized into a deliberative body
for the free discussion of public ques-
tions. 1t seems to be automatic that
there should be the same provision for
all-sided discussion on the part Of
citizens before they vote as for alder
men and state legislators, or any 9TH
er agents of citizens.
"Where, as in Los Angeles, Mil
waukee, Grand Rapids, the school
houses are used as polling places,
the plan is very convenient and help
full to the educational service of the
schools, and where the Wisconsin law
directs school boards to provide free
use of school buildings as the voters
common council chambers, or parlia-
ments of people, the feasibility of the
plan is established by two years of
successful demonstration. 1t is the
first local step toward the use of
buildings as recreation centers. That
is the great part Of the answer to the
vice problem of cities, and rural COM
munities. 1t means holding the ground

gained against Tammany and other
such organizations. This social center
problem should appeal to suffragists
and anti-suffragists. They must agree
for men and women to sit together for
the solution of our common problems,
for they require for solution all the
intelligence of all of u.s."

TOBACCO AND
BOYS UNDER 10
New Law Makes Youths as
Guilty as Those Who Sell Te-
baccO.

Two women in ShebOygan were re
Gently arrested charged with selling
cigarettes to a minor. Both the
women conduct stores says the She
boygan Press. ''They plead guilty
to selling to the youth and Judge
Giblin suspended the fines and they
paid the costs amounting to 1864"
The law is plain as to what shall
be done with persons selling tobac-
CO in any form to any person under
16 years.
For the benefit of the smoke shop
and parents, we give the law here:
Section 1:-Section 4GO8V of the
statutes is amended to read: Ev-
cry person who shall sell or give
to any person under the age of six
teen years cigar, or tobacco in
any form without a written consent
CT the parent or guardian of such
miner, shall be punished by a fine
OF not less than $40 nor more than
twenty-five dollars for each OffeBse.
And every person under the age
Of Is years who shall smoke or use
cigarettes, cigars or tobacco On any
public road, street, alley or park or
other lands used for public purposes
or i'm any public place of business or
amusement, except in the company
of parent or guardian shall be pun
ished by a fine of not more than $40
or Imprisonment of thirty days.

Merrill cannot be blamed for the
inefficiency of the officials) why did
the referee have to refer so often

did the referee penalize five yards

Now little sport writer, read Rule

gave Grand Rapids fair deal.

GRAND RAPIDS
BOY SURVIVOR Of
LAKE DISASTER
Ernest kurz of This City, One
of the Crew of Fred G. Hrat
we'll which Sank in Lake Su-
DeriOr,

One of Grand Rapids young men
came near being a victim Of the
storm that recently swept the great
lakes and caused such an appalling
loss of life and damage to property
Ernest Kurz, brother OF Mrs A
A. Arndt of this city, a young man
born i'm the city, was one of the
crew of the vessel, Fred G. Hartwell,
which sank in Lake Superior near
the SEQ. The men were able to
stay on the deck houses and re
manned there until rescued. The
ship had stove a hole in her bot
tom and sunk on a reef The men
suffered untold hardship from cold
and exposure but fortunately were
rescued. It was owning to the fact
that the ship sank in about 80 feet
of water and that the superstruc-
ture was out of the water that the
crew owe their lives. Mrs. Arndt
received a letter from her brother in
which he said he was alive and spoke
of the marrow escape he and his
had.
Ernest Kurz is q years old and
had been on the great lakes for
the last three years.

SECOND CONCERT
IN BAND SERIES
Concert PIeases the Audience
Each Performer an Artist in
His Work.

The second Of the band series of
concerts was given Saturday even
ing by the Best Concert Company
The attendance was about the same
as at the previous concert which
shows that there are only so many
people in the city who are educated
in. the musical arts enough to appre-
ciate first class concert of this
kind. The program was varied con-
sisting of harp solos by Miss Mabel
Helen Rogers, who played in an ex-
cellent manner upon this difficult
instrument. Miss Rogers is an artist
and has very graceful and easy ap-
pearance on the stage. Master Nc
Combs, the boy soprano, did his
work we'll and received his share of
the hearty applause with which each
performer was rewarded Mrs. Ed
wards, the reader, was very good
and her number, "The Perfect Trib-
ute" was the best of her readings.
There is still another concert to be
given and it is hoped that there will
be more interest shown and a better
attendance than at the last two.

which viii make this office much
more comfortable during the com
ing winter. We understand that the
company did not think it policy to
spend much money on the old build
ing as in all probability, a new
depot will succeed the present one
in the near future. This company
is enjoying an increase in business
largely due to the efficiency and
courtesy of the present STATEN agent,
but he could increase the business
much more if he had suitable de-
pot and cOnveniences that he ought
to have for the transaction Of a
larger business. We hope to have
the pleasure Of chronicling the cree

spring and the long talked of cutoff
between MukWonago and Grand Rap
ids thereby shortening the dis
tance between Chicago and st. Paul
about sixty miles.

new SOCIETY
ORGANIZED

At meeting held Friday evening
at the NJ. E. church an effort was
started to form an organization of
the young people of the different
church societies in the city. There
were rs present. The meeting was
called to order by temporary chair
man. VIM. Baldauf. Those present
were very enthusiastic over the
prospects of an organization of this
kind. The following officers were
elected: Roy B. Thornton, Baptist
church. president; Harold Babcock,
Congregational church, first vice
president; Miss Ethel Nilsson, Meth
odist church, second vice president;
Miss Belle Rockstead, Scandinavian
Moravian church, third vice presi-
dent, and Frank Muhlstein, German
Moravian church, fourth vice presi-
dent An executive committee will
be formed composed of a member
from each church elected by the
society of the church to which il
belongs.
This will bring together all the
younger church workers of the city
into one central body and doubtless
will be productive of good results.
