Municipal Building Unfinished.

Just on the eve OF discussing plans
for the formal turning over Of the
municipal building to the city. the
stratling discovery has been made
that from the twenty.sixth to the for.
tieth floor, inclusive. the structure is
as far from a condition OF completion
as II was a year or two ago. There
Is no concrete on the floors and not
a bit OF plaster on the walls. Further.
more. absolutely no provision has been
made by the city for the letting OF
contracts for the work. When the
contracts for the municipal building
were let. they did not cover the com.
pletion OF the building to the fortleth
story. Some uncanny arrangement.
inexplicable to engineers and laymen
alike, was made at the outset which
did not take into consideration the
completion OF the ten top floors OF the
new home OF the city departments.
Bridge Commissioner Kracke. who has
charge OF the building and will con.
tinue in that capacity until II is OF.
ficially completed, does not know when
the contracts for completing the build.
ing will be advertised for, and OF
course hasn't the slightest idea a. to
when the big building will be finished.
II the contracts were let today and
the work OF completing the upper
floors begun Immediately by a full
force of workmen. II would take al
least six months to complete It.

The Bryan baseball team was de-
feated yesterday afternoon by the
Kosse team on the Kosse diamond to
the tune o. G TO o. The game was a
good game up until the last OF the
sixth inning. when three runs were
scored by the Kosse team on an over.
throw by the Bryan first baseman in
trying to cut off score at the home
plate. The loss OF the game is due
mainly to the inability of the Bryan
boys to hit the ball when hits meant
runs, they having men left on second
or third bases several times. Kosse
made her other three scores in the
seventh and eighth innings, scoring
two In the seventh on a three-base hit
with man on base. followed by a
single. Smell pitched fine game for
Bryan and deserved to win, but the
Bryan boys could not get man across
home plate The Kosse team will be
brought to Bryan in the near future,
when the Bryan boys hope to get re.

AN APPEAL TO
BRYAN PEOPLE
Commercial Club Earnestly Urges the
People to Attend A. q NJ. College
Commencement

To the Citizens OF Bryan:
The commencement exercises OF the
A. & NJ. College begin with the II
O'Clock service Sunday next and con.
tinue until Tuesday night. During
this time there will be hundreds OF
visitors on the campus from every sec
tlon OF the State. Some OF these Wis
itors will have travelled probably Ave
or six hundred miles TO witness these
events And they will return 10 their
homes feeling that II was worth the
money. too" Many OF these visitors
return year after year. and continue
TO feel that II Is money we'll spent to
witness these events that have posi-.
bly, become commonplace to some OF
our citizens.
The visitors opinion OF our great
school will. In measure. be fixed by
the estimate that we 'home folks"
seem to place on this institution.
n We remain at our usual places OF
business during commencement. and
thus manifest no interest in or con.
Germ for the college. the visitor will
naturally ask. "Why do the people OF
Bryan care so little about this great
SCHOOL,"
A query OF this kind from a visitor
easily suggests the oft.repeated ques-
ton OF the deslrability OF the location
OF the college.
On the other hand. II the citizenship
OF Bryan turns out In force to witness
the exercises and to mingle with the
visitors on the campus. II will show
our own good opinion Of the school.
and help materially to mould the
opinion OF our visitors.
II will do all this-and more. II
will give. Bryan a certain amount of
the very highest type Of publicity.
For. after all. is not the human
touch" the most appreciated OF all
forms OF advertising?
Certainly the citizenship OF Bryan
will compare fayorahly with that OF
any community in all Texas. Let us
take advantages Of our ability as
mixers" and in so doing utilize the
occasion of commencement and the
Farmers Congress TO place Bryan and
her good people before the whole coun-
try.
Attend commencement as a matter
OF business. II not as matter of pleas.
ure. And wear some device to show
who YOU are and what you stand for.
II will pay. II will pay immensely.
Call up the Commercial Club. or ].
Webb Howell. and ask for information
about badges. pennants, etc, to use
during these events.
Yours very truly.

NEW YORK, March 24.-There

scenes of last Saturdays parade up
Fifth avenue by unemployed men If

After conference with Mayor

that the police officials had been
at fault in allowing the parade,
but added that reports showed no
concrete evidence Of violation Of
the law by the paraders.
Commissioner Mckay admitted
that the parade could have been pre-

creed is now to be given them. and IL
is believed that the work will be

of verse of scripture. while it is
helpful. is not the best method
of instruction." Emphasis will be
placed on the institutional features,
which will be in charge of the Y. NJ.

and night classes will be opened. In
struction will be given by Chinese

Says Supreme Court Ruling
Gives Women Right to Vote

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Wom-
an suffragists, headed by Rev. Olym-
pia Brown, of Wisconsin, pre-
ident of the Federal Suf-
frage Association. today sought
the aid of the House elections com
mittee in behalf OF the French bill,
which would provide that women who
are citizens of the United States and
possess similar qualifications as are
required of men voters, shall be ELI
gible to vote lin all States of the
Union at elections for members of
the House of Representatives and the
United States Senate"
Mrs. Clara Bewick Colby, of Port
land Ore, speaking In support of
the bill, declared that under the con-
stitution and the interpretations of
the courts women were people, and
citizens, and Congress, therefore
should recognize them as such and
extend teh rights of Federal suffrage
to them" She cited the decision OF
Chief Justice Taney That the words
people of the United States and
"citizens" are Synonymous terms and
mean the same thing, and added that
the constitution now provided that
1.-THE people" should choose the mem
bers of the House and Senate.

Prudential Statistician Says
Cancer Due TO Over-Eating;
Urges Return TO Simple Life

NEW YORK. March 2a.--The sim
pie life was urged yesterday by Dir.
Frederick L. Hoffman. statistician of
the Prudential Insurance Company,
for a prevention against cancer in an
address delivered before the Society
for the Control of Cancer at the
Women's Cosmopolitan Club.
1T is not a question of how much
we eat" said DR. Hoffman, but
what nutriment We obtain from our
food. Cancer is rapidly increasing IN
this country. but only among the rich,
who overeat.
"That the kind of food we eat has
great bearing on the disease is
proven by the fact that / Is moe
prevalent in Europe among the rich
who eat six or seven meals a day,
than il is with the rich N this
country.
Cancer is a growth of our civiliza-
ton Half million people die every
year in the civilized world from the
dread disease. while cancerouS
growths are almost unknown among
primitive and savage peoples.
"Only the simplest foods should be
eaten and just sufficient of those TO
give proper nutriment to the body"
DIR. Hoffman declared that as far
as the facts were at present known
cancer was not u hereditary or in
fictitious disease immortal fame
awaits the man who can prove that
cancer is hereditary or Infectious
he said.
Regarding the statistics of the dis
ease, he stated that 10000 die of can
Ger in this country every year, of
which number $500 die in New York
State and 4, 800 in New York city.
DIR. Hoffman made a strong plea for
courage in facing the situation, and
declared that no man or woman
should shirk an operation whenever
it was ordered.
DR.. James Ewing, professor Of
pathology at Cornell Medical Uni
Versity, said that If people are to
make progress in handling the effects
of the disease they must get rid of
the mysterious name given to il.
Under the term cancer" he said,
ARE several distinct diseases, but all
due to the same lawless oVergroWth
of cells. Each Of these diseases should
be studied and treated separately"
With regard TO the radium treat
ment of cancer he said: I'VE cannot
hope for a universal cure by this
metal, because under our present mode
of application with a tube we can
only treat superficial growths with
1t, and its limitations in this respect
have already been determined.
