CHARLIE CLIMBS
 GOES TO BERLIN

Charles H. Glines, Jr..'' is the name appearing today on a first class pas senger list of an outgoing steamship from New York. To the casual ob- server the name will not denote much of interest, but to Bridgeporters and those fully aware of his mission there Is a significance of, far greater innpor- tance, for it means forcefu1ness and enterprise of Bridgeport's product"
 Charles H. Glines is .sBrtdgeporter, residing when at home with his pa rents at 165 BeechInont avenue, but for many years, though still 8. young man, he has only oeen in this city, as he was early today, on a visit to his home before performing an adventur- toas or perilous task.
 Educated at St. Mary's school, and securing his later education in mining matters both from theoretical as well as practical sources, he has already travelled over much of the wild sec tions of North America. It was but three years ago that. he ventured into the wflds of the K1ondyke regions in >tions with western mining interests that kept him in, untravelaed sections flor months.
 But recetnly he became identified with a concern which furnishes basic material for the manufacture of arms and ammunition, and with Berlin as his present disclosed destination, it lmay well be supposed that his mission is one of the venturesome as well as dangerous kinds.

MANY USES FOR
 STATE CITY LAND
40 ACRES IN LITTLE ROCK
WILL BE BONE OF CONTENTION WORLDS BEST HOSPITAL
 SUGGESTED.

! Little Rock, Nov. 18.-The coming legislature is going to have tempest in teapot warfare over the disposi- tion of: 40 acres of ground belonging to the state, which is located just west of the. Arkansas Institute for the Deaf, one of the prettiest building sites in Little Rock, and adjoining Pu- laski Heights most fashionable resi- dence section.
 I This tract of land has been long owned by the state, and will now cas- lily. bring $5,O00 per acre, ifenot more. If sold lot at time, and on easy terms, it will bring double that amount.
 There has long been in the state treasury sum left as & foundation for state hospital, which amounts to about $30,000. It is figured that state owned buildings now used for clinic and hospital purposes by the medical department of the University. of Ar kansas, will bring at least $50,000 if placed on the market today. In ad- dition to this, it is believed that those working for hospital to be dedicated to the memory of David o. Dodd, the boy hero, of the Civil war who was executed as spy in Little Rock, will be able to secure additional donations to bring the total up to $250,000 if the hospital is named in his honor. If the Arkansas Medical Board can se- cure all these contributions, and can persuade the legislature to turn over to it the land in question, it will erect the finest state hospital in the world. This would insure the University of Arkansas. the largest attendance of any similar institution.
 But the Arkansas School for the Blind has it's eyes on the plot of ground adjoining the Deaf Institute, and will ask the legislature to sell the three blocks of ground now used by the state as site for the School for the Blind, and apply the proceeds to new buildings on the land in question.
 Others are expected to be equally as good askers, so a lively fight over the disposition of the land will follow, and if it is not settled this term, it will be up again and again until the land is sold. It is not improbable that the State Capitol Commission will ask that they be given the proceeds from
