STUDENTS AGAIN
AFTER RESERVOIR
Water Commission to Recon-
slider Action on the
Subject

A letter from a committee of High
School students representing the
High School Athletic Association
was received at the meeting of the
Board Of Water Commissioners this
morning requesting that the board
reconsider its decision in refusing to
grant until this time the cite of the
old reservoir grounds, at Eighth and
Rodney streets, to the students of the
school for athletic purposes. The let
ter follows:
"In behalf of the Athletic As
sociation Of the Wilmington High
School we most respectfully
petition you to reconsider the
matter of granting the site Of the
Old Reservoir to the students of
the Wilmington High School for
athletic purposes. Our present
grounds at Front and Union are
removed so far from the High
School building as to make their
use impossible to the majority OF
the students. The time consum-
ed in going to and from the
grounds, and carfare expended by
the students are two objection
able features in connection with
the present arrangement.
I'VE believe that the granting
of the grounds to the High School
students would accomplish two
very definite results: first the
building up of a stronger senti-
ment among the students for the
school, and secondly, the training
of our students for greater use
fulness as citizens of the com
munity.
I'VE trust that it will meet with
your pleasure to give this matter
your most sympathic considera-
ton"
Yours very truly,

THE CALUMET HORROR.

1t may well be doubted if there anot. COM
Inunty in all this land whose cup was nearer to run
ming over than that of the north Michigan copper
country, even before the panic horror of Christmas
Eve. For months and months the labor warfare has
kept thousands of people in distress. The merest
necessares of life have not been always obtainabe
with the means the miners families had at hand.
Whatever may be the merits of the controversy, ii
has brought to the working people period of prva-
tion and suffering such has seldom been equaled
i, the history of labor troubles in this country
The accounts of the panic at Christmas tree cele-
bration for the little children of these poor people
point the conclusion that it was the result of a
strangely inhumany malicious purpose -eliberately
to precipitate just such crisis. man, as yet un-
identified, showed his way into the entrance of the
crowded hall and shouted an alarm of fire. There
was not the slightest for it, the circumstances
all suggest malice and villanous intent When the
rush was over about four-score lives chiefly those of
tots had been crushed out
The horror will perhaps serve to concentrate ma
tona attention on situation that has had altogether
too little of the countrys thought The copper coun-
try is far removed from observation save by its
own immediate people, that its travail has been al
most unknown to the public at large. Doubtless
there will be now, when the worst has happened
a sudden access of concern, and We shall learn
great deal, conflicting and uncertain about the state
of almost anarchy that has prevailed there.
Punishment cannot we'll be devised that will>be6t-
the crime of the man who started the panic if he did
it with malice. The worst element seems to be the
suspicion among the mining people that their
enemies in the labor warfare are responsible. That
is quite beyond belief but the very suspicion will be
certain to increase feeling and make the situation
harder than ever to handle.
