these columns more than week ago
still cover the case. as far as can
see and as far as Mr. Ebbets will
admit now. But the strange part of
the whole proceeding is that how
three men, each with such a Won
, derful gift of CAB, can hold con-
ference for more than two hours and
then confess they haven't anything
to say. OF course, this baseball bust
ness and this bike business is mighty
the men concerned have their way
now and have their say later on,
which is more important.

From what I can judge, there is
considerable to Mr.. Ebbets's desire to
talk business with Messrs. Million

though, is another matter, and that
bicycle track will be erected on
Ebbets Field is alsol not an assured
fact. In these days of activity, events
that happen are really the only ones
we can be sure about. That's why I
have been very careful in selecting
my line of discussion anent the sale
of the Newark Club. Mr.. Ebbets ad-
mits that / quoted him letter perfect
as to his views on the disposition of
the local franchise. He said at the
time, and he says now, that he is
willing to sell if Newark men will
pay fair price for his holdings. He
also declares, as he declared before,
that he is In no position to dispose
of the stock of his partners, but the
assumption Is that if Mr.. Ebbets de-
cided to sell the Newark Club the
McKe brothers and Mr.. Medicus,
his partners, would be of the same
mind. Mr.. Solomon is so anxious to
stick around Newark and draw down
his $4,000 per year and the earnings
on the side that he wouldn't set a
price on his shares. He is to be con-
graduated for being a sticker. He is
also entitled to swell up, if he wants
to, over the fact that he is president
of q club that is almost sure to win
the pennant. Mr.. Solomon, with a
championship team, admits he is

After a conference lasting more
than two hours, Frank Million and
Inglis M. Uppercu, of Newark, and
Charles H. Ebbets, of Brooklyn,
emerged from the private offices of
the Brooklyn Baseball Club at Ebbets
Field yesterday afternoon and de-
clared they had nothing to say of any
moment or of any public interest.
The ball game on the diamond was
nearing an end, and as Brooklyn was
leading the Boston Braves by what
seemed to be a safe margin, Mr.. Eb-
bets was in a rather happy frame of
mind. Mr. Million looked as IL some
body had been saying something to
him that made him feel sociable. Mr..
Uppercu was in an awful hurry, al
though it was long after banking
hours. He left Immediately after the
meeting.
Been talking over the disposition
of the Newark Club?" I inquired of
Mr.. Million.
Il haven't thing to say" he re-
piled.
How about you, Mr.. Uppercu?"
ventured
Nothing to say" he answered.
Surely Mr. Ebbets would have some
thing to say, but he, too, was on a
diet.
It was a strange case. Here was a
party of three interesting gentlemen
of the sporting world in conference
for more than two hours and neither
of them knew thing. 1t was good
sign that something surely happened.
If the men had talked for two hours
and then came out full of gossip the
idea conveyed would be that they
had done nothing and therefore could
talk all day without saying anything.
But when men discuss important af-
fairs for hours and then have Moth
ing to say the deduction is that they
but are fearful to talk lset they
might divulge the secrets of the meet
ing. That is the way 1 would look
at it, anyway.
c.
At the invitation of Mr.. Ebbets, I
accompanied Messrs. Million and Up
percu to Ebbets Field yesterday
afternoon. AS I understood the con-
ference, it was for the purpose of
discussing tho purchase of the New
ark Club by the Newark gentlemen
mentioned, and also the possibility of
erecting a bicycle track on the base
ball diamond at Ebbets Field. SO, as
far as those matters are concerned,
all those who are alive to the stu
alton will comprehend. After the
conferen1e, on the invitation of Mr..
Ebbets, the members of the party
took dinner at Happens. The luncheon
seemed to set agreeably on Mr.. Eb-
.bets's stomach, and later on he agreed
to say just few words. There was
nothing new in his talk, He had told
the very same thing to ma before
about his desire to have Newark capt.
talists become interested in the New
ark Club and about how he, of course,
wouldn't DISPOSE Of the Newark Club
unless all his partners in the enter
prise were satisfied--and | printed

League circuit, finally and eventually

views with Mr.. Bbbets PRINTED in

public toilets are provided on the first
floor. A good sized room for the
postmaster will be located in the
northwest corner. Five large circu-

on the west will light the lobby of the

vided and the building should have
plenty of light even on the cloudiest
days.
In the basement a large rest room

DEATH OF MRS. cLAREY.
Dies at Home of Her Dauqhter, Mrs.
Foshay, Of Casper, Wyo., on
Saturday Last.

Mrs. Patrick Clarey, for more than
thirty-five years resident of this city,
passed away at her home at Casper,
Wyo., on last Saturday morning, Feb
ruary 18th, the immediate cause of
her death being due to a general
breakdown. She was widow of the
late Patrick Clarey, who departed this
life about twenty-seven years ago. Mr..
Clarey will be remembered by many
of the old citizens of Crawford coun-
ty as being soldier of the Mexican
and civil wars.
Mrs. Clarey was about 66 years of
age at the time of her death. She,
with her husband, resided in this city
for about thirty-five years, and was
we'll known to older residents of the
community. About ten years ago Mrs.
Clarey moved to Casper, Wyo., where
she made her home with her daughter,
Mrs. Foshay. She leaves to mourn
her death one sister, Mrs. w Flaherty,
of Sioux City; one son and four daugh-
ters, namely: Thomas, Catherine,
Mrs. Foshay, of Casper, Wyo., Mrs.
Artune, of Chamberlain, S. D., and
Mrs. Quinn, of Laurel, Mont.
The body was brought to Denison
Tuesday afternoon and laid to rest
beside her husband in the Catholic
cemetery this Wednesday morning.

On Wednesday, Feb. 12, 1913, in the
quiet of his home at Vail, Iowa, the
spirit of M. J. Keane, a prominent citi-
zen of the county, took its fight after
an illness covering period of more
than three months. The death of this
well-knoWn man was, therefore, not
unexpected, and yet when the final
summons came the loss seemed more
than his family and friends could
bear.
Mr. keane was born May 10, 1858,
at Perth, Canada. He was son of
Dennis and Mary Keane. When
mere infant he came with his parents
to the United States, taking up their
residence at Syracuse, N. Y, where
they remained but short time when
they removed to Chicago and later to
Davenport, Iowa, where they re-
manned for three years. After this
they purchased a farm near Wheat

twenty-seven years ago, when he
moved into the town of Vail, and con-
tinued to reside there until his death,
with the exception of one year when
he lived in Denison during the time
he filled the position of deputy audi

On Nov Is, 1873, he was. united in

FEDERAL BUILDING
To be Story and Complete Basement,
Covering Ground Area of

STRUCTURE TO BE FIRE PROOF
Built of Stone and Pressed Brick
Main Entrance to Building to be
on Southwest Corner.

Last week Postmaster Alfred Wright
tect's Office at Washington, D. c., the
complete plans and specifications Of
the new federal post Office building to
be erected at Denison this year. These
plans were placed in Mr.. Wright's
hands in order that local contractors
might have chance to go over them
and make bid for the work, but we
doubt if this can be done for the spec
ifications call for special material of
such a nature that it would be almost
impossible fos local contractors to OBJ
tain at prices satisfactory so that they
could bid on the work and come any
where near the bid of contractors who
make a speciality of the big govern
ment jobs. However, we understand
that local contractor is going over
the plans with view of making bid.
According to the plans and draw
ings the new federal building will be
a most beautiful structure, and one
that Denison can we'll be proud of.
The plans call for building to cost
not less than $5O,0O0.00 complete, and
this includes nearly all the inside fix
lures together with the plumbing,
electric light and gas fixtures.
The building will be one story and
a basement with a ground area of
about 4,2OO square feet and as near
fireproof as is possible to make it. It
will be constructed Of stone and
pressed brick and will be set in dis
tance of ten feet, allowing for q nice
grass plot between the sidewalks and
the building. The main entrance will
be on the southwest corner and will
be most imposing. The door leads in
to large rotunda, the top of which
forms cupola on the corner of the
building, which will be surmounted
with a flag pole. The lobby of the

WILLIS WlCCINS
BUYS PROPERTY
Enterprising Dow. City Man Closes
Deal for Denison Property-WiII
Engage in Grocery Business.
McAHREN TO CLOSE OUT STOCK
Being Unable to Get Store Room, M.
J. McAhren is Forced to Quit
Clothing Business.

A deal was cOnSummated the fore
part of the week whereby Mr.. Willis
H. Virgins, of Dow City, becomes the
owner of the Gulick block on Main
street, the consideration being $4,000.
We understand that it is the intention
of Mr.. Virgins to move to DenisOn
some time this spring and that he will
conduct an up-to-date grocery in the
building that he has just purchased.
The main floor of the building is
now occupied by the NJ. j. McAhren
clothing store, whose lease expires
the first of July. Mr.. McAhren has
endeavored to find a suitable location
to move his stock to, but being un-
able to do so will close out the entire
stock. 1t is to be regretted that in
town the size of Denison there are no
available store rooms for rent and
that large and thriving business such
as Mr.. McAhren's has to be closed
out on account of there being no place
to carry on the business. Mr.. Nc
Ahren has been engaged in the cloth
ing business in Denison for the past
five years and during that time has
built up lucrative business, enjoying
the patronage of the community and
confidence of the business men of Den
ison. Mr.. McAhren has not decided
just what he will do after his clothing
stock is disposed of, but We trust that
he will remain in Denison.
Willis Virgins has been an ener-
getic and progressive business man
of Dow City for a number of years.
He was born and raised in Crawford
county and has made success Of bus

Quoted a general merchandise store at
Dow City and has met with most graf
flying success in his various under
takings, and has quite extensive real
estate holdings in Dow City, owning

Gated, as we'll as two brick business
blocks. We welcome Mr.. Virgins to
Denison and trust he will be as sue
cessful here as he has been at Dow
City.

matter of pride and will give to the
work one-half the business acumen
they have shown in private affairs
there is not the least danger of fail
ure.
Up to the present time nearly $685.
100000 has been pledged for the new
improvement, and while this is not
quite half of the amount needed, it is
thought that with very little effort the
balance will be forthcoming in a very
short time. Some have subscribed
literally while others have waited un-
til the new opera house would be a
certainty and have promised their
support. At the meeting it was decid-
ed to purchase the Sonksen property
on the corner of Main street and
Broadway and the deal will be closed
up in few days. For some time the
promoters of the new opera house
have held an option on this property
and we understand the purchase price
to be $1S,00OO0. No better location
for the new opera house could have
been selected for it is in the very
heart of the business district.
It is planned to erect building to
cost in the neighborhood of $685.
100000. The opera house proper will
be built to seat 1000 people and of
modern construction with first class
facilities, Offering something of COM
fort to patrons. The old opera house,
affording the wretched accommoda-
tions that it did, has been paying
proposition for the past years so
much so that large dividends were
paid to stockholders. The new pro-
posed opera house would have several
sources of income. The two store
rooms on the ground floor should
bring good rent and fine dance hall
in the basement would bring a neat
income.
The motion picture shows in Deni-
son have proven to be popular in the
past and surely with the better ac-
commodations of the new building it
would prove even more popular in the
future.
1t is now up to the business men of
Denison to aid in the support of the
new project. A number of Denison
business men have already pledged
to do so, but there are others who
could we'll afford to get behind the
Those who have already
pledged their support are willing to
make greater concessions to see the

ject carried through.
