along the lines of those now building
at Lehigh and Cornell This new foot
| ball ampitheatre was made practically
certain at a meeting of the board in
control of athletics, when that body ex-
pressed itself favorable to the tentative
| sketches and plans prepared, which had
been previously examined and accepted
isy the board of regents. The regents,
at their session, recommended that the
athletic board adopt the plans.
As prepared, the plans for the concrete
stand call for the erection of struc-
ture which will eventually form com
ponent part of stadium, modelled after
that of Harvard university at Cam
bridge. The stand will be designed TO
accommodate 10000 persons, and it is
estimated that the cost will be between
$4,000 and 100000 According to the
action taken by the athletic board, the
whole of the work will be done under
the immediate supervision of the ath-
letic association.
The first track and field meet prophecy
of the new year comes from the Pacific
coast, where Trainer Walter Christie,
of the University of California squad,
predicts that the Stanford university
team will defeat the Berkeley athletics
by score of about 81 to Sc points.
Christie figures out Stanford will win
majority of it's points in the track
events. Some leeway must be given the
forecast since the trainer in predicting
the defeat of his team naturally had an
object in view.
The long continued agitation for a new
and modern gymnasium at Harvard APP
pears to have accomplished the desired
effect. President Lowell recently gave
his official sanction TO the movement
and graduate committee had been APP
pointed to begin campaign among the
graduates for the necessary funds. I'm
dergraduate committees have been at
work for over year obtaining pledges
and collecting subscriptions from the
students. The graduate committee will
probably include those of the alumni
who have been actively interested in
Harvard athletics.
General plans for the building itself
have been drawn up, which will be used
except for few notifications. They
call for swimming tank, an artificial
ice rink and indoor tennis, squash and
handball courts. The probable location
of the new building will be along the
Charles river near Soldiers field and
the lighthouses. The new building will
be so large that it will be impossible !
to use the site of the present Hemen
way gymnasium. The committee will |
attempt to raise sl,000,000, six-tenths !
of which will be used in the eonstruc |

Attempted Burglary
Ascot & HaiIey'S
OPEN WINDOW AND TOOLS TELL STORY
Burglars We're Disturbed Before Entrance Was
Made Into Store

An attempt was made Wednes-
day night to burglarize the Scott
and HALEY hardware store in the
west end.
The burglar or burglars tried
20 gain an entrance through the
window on the west side of the
Guiding and did succeed in fore.
ing The window up part way.
Before making their attempt
on the hardware store they broke
INTO McCutcheon's blacksmith
shop and stole an iron bar to use
IN forcing the window. They
llso went over to William Sly's
dwelling, a short distance west
If the store, and took step lad
Ter to use in reaching the win
dow.
The window was nailed down
md marks on it showed that they
irst got a small piece of iron un-
ier it and pried it up until they
'ould get a hold with the bar.
After getting that under it theS
ucceeded in forcing it up about
ighteen inches. The nails
Aith which it was fastened, in
tead of pulling out, bent back
# the sash between it and the
rame, making the window very
lilicut TO raise and before they
ad it high enough to effect am
ntrance they were frightened
way.
They evidently took their de-
Iarture in a hurry for they left

window ,snrIs they were found
Thursday morning when the
tore was opened.
The burglars were evidently

Three or four catalogues that

ln the inside were also found ON

hey had been pulled out to make

Mr. HALEY keeps a dog in the
tore nights and he believes that

elves that when they started to

log made such a strong demon

cation was not representative of

people of Ada county, anti-prohi-
iaion leaders there are saiD to
have started the statewide move
ment in behalfOf what is to be
known as a "home rule" league
This league expects to secure its
strongest support in northern
Idaho, where already complaint
is being heard over the action of
the platform conventions in
adopting prohibition planks and
the open assertion has repeated
ly been made that the members
Of the three parties, having been
disfranchised, are not bound by
the platforms or to supper! the
candidates who run on the plat
forms.
Under date of July the follow
ing letter in duplicate form was
sent to those interested in Tie
.novement in northern Idaho:
The business men of Boise
irrespective of politics, have con
cldded to organize a Home Rul.
League and extend the organi-
zatiOn into other sections of the
slate.
THE purpose of the league
Nill be to demand Of the men who
will be candidates for the legis-
iature in the primaries, that they
vote for a home rule bill, but Will
not demand of these candidates
that they refuse to vote to sub
NIT the constitutional amend
ment.
1.-THE idea is, on the part of
the home rule people, that they
be given an opportunity to try
out their views on the liquor
question durin the two year
prior to the vote being taken or
the constitutional amendment.
There is nothing in this request
conica TO the planks in tho
Democratic and Republican par
ties.
1.-The movement is i'm the hands
Of the strongest and best men of
Boise, and all men engaged in
the liquor business will be re-
quested to refrain from taking
any active part in the matter.
1.-The people of Ada county are
simply 'red-hoC over the action
of the delegates Of the several
parties for having voted for pro-
hibitiOn, and the men response
bic for this action will be cast i'm

Anti-SaIOOn League
Plans Campaign

The Anti-Saloon league, is
planning an aggressive campaign
for statewide prohibition. In
formation has been given out
that the league, under the direc-
ton of superintendent Herwig,
will conduct one of the greatest
speaking campaigns ever under
taken on the coast. Arrange
ments are being made to have
four national speakers to be
knowa as the big Four Prohi-
bitlOn Squadron" to tour the
Stale beginning at Montpelier and
ending at Bonners Ferry. More
than 200 speaking places will be
reached, covering every impor-
tant center of population in the
entire state. Every county seat
in Idaho will have several meet
ipgs. Six or eight big meetings
will be arranged in Boise, the en-
tire squadron speaking in the
capitol city.
The object of the tour. is to
stir the entir state for statewide
prohibition. 1t is estimated
at the league headquarters that
more than one-half of the entire
state will hear these addresses.
The Anti-Saloon league is also
preparing considerable temper
ance literature and upwards of
two tons of this sort of ammuni-
tion will be used in the cam
paign.
