NEW CUTS DOWN BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR ONLY sasst

saved. 1t was figured that they would
be cheaper to build than the big boats
and cheaper to operate. When the
time came to build, however, the saw
ings began to vanish. The cost Of a
9Ofooter was s15O,00O, and it was be-
lieved that the smaller boat could be
built for half that sum. AS a matter
of fact the Resolute cost $125.O00 and
the cost of the trial races far exceed
ed all expectations. One man who
has seen most of the bills estimates
the expenses at $2,500 day for each
day a yacht has been in commission,
and it is believed that this figure is
not in the least excessive. A suit of
sails cost abut $4,000 and by the end
of the season each yacht has three or
four suits; $4,000 is a conservative
estimate of this item. The payroll is
another big item, for one yacht
amounting to $4,000 exclusive of the
captains salary. Each of the yachts
has at least two masts, which cost
approximately $4,000 each and various
extra spars costing altogether S1O,-
600. Every time one of the boats
was hauled out to be cleaned the cost
amounted to between $500 and $400.
Altogether it is a good deal of ques-
ton whether the men who put up the
million and half dollars for these
boats will ever get one cents return
from them in the way of an interna-
tional contest
Emperor Is in Contempt
It is believed here that Emperor
William of Germany may be in con-
tempt with the supreme court of the
state of New York Whether he is
aware of this or not is not likely
however, to cause him any consider
able amount of worry This peculiar
situation arises from the fact that
some one in Germany, presumably the
emperor, is responsible for the call
ing to their colors of two German
captains from this country. The cap

THE GREEK SPIRIT.
A Valuable Book for Student and
Reader.

The Greeks have exercised wonder
full influence upon the arts and litera-
ture of the world. Plato and Homer
and Socrates are of almost daily quo
tation in the books and press of today
and are constantly studies in college
and university life. Everywhere a
building of worth and note appears is
the Ionic, the Doric or the Corinthian
architecture in evidence.
A book which presents just what its
name implies, 1.-The Greek Spirit, has
been written by an authority. Kate
Stephens. of New York formerly OF the
chair of the Greek Language and Lit
erature at the Kansas university. The
volume is published by the Sturgis &
Walton company of New York. 1t es-
says to give the general reader an in
sight into the Greek life and character
which could otherwise be gained only
by a long course of study covering the
whole Of Greek literature and art.
From earliest beginnings, is traced the
development of the underlying spirit OF
the race-a spirit which has had very
definite bearing on all subsequent hui
man history and now has its counter
part in much that is best in America
today. Though necessarily general in
nature, the book will afford a thorough
and appreciative understanding Of the
rich. many-sided civilization which it
describes.

ROW IN The HOUSE.
Helm and Moon Nearly Come to
Blows During Debate.

Washington, Dec. 19.-Chairman
Moon of the postoffice committee and
Representative Hef1in Of Alabama had
row on the floor of the house late
today which other members feared
would (cvelop into blows.
Representative Heflin launched into
denunciation of Representative
Moons declaration that railroad in
f1uence" had defeated a special rule
to provide consideration of certain
postal reforms and that Democrats
who had voted against 1t had be
trayed' the Democratic administra-
ton.

lutely untrue" shouted Helm.
"You don't dare say that to me ex-
cept on this floor" returned Moon.
Il am willing to say anything out

and as both men advanced with threat
ening gestures, other members sprang
between them.
Hostilities died away as suddenly as
they had begun.

Hoffman Accepts Wrestling Challenge
of Champion Clifford Jerome.


Friday through the sport columns of
the State Journal Clifford Jerome of
Golf. Kan, issued a challenge to Louis
Hoffman, the local wrestler, to meet
him in a holiday match either in To-
peka or Holton. In answer to this chal-
lenge, Hoffman notified the State Jour-
nal today that he would meet Jerome
at any time and at any place and would
wrestle him to finish.
Il have heard a great deal about this
fellow Jerome" Hoffman said. Il have
heard that he is a good wrestler and a
straight fellow. 1 would be glad to
meet him and am now making an eff
f-rt to get in touch with him over the
long distance telephone. 1 believe the
match. with good preliminaries, would
draw a big crown here during the holi-
days"
Hoffman said he had never been in
better condition than he is now and is
willing to meet any square wrestler

WHEAT GOES UP
Highest Prices In Years in
Kansas Today.
In Topeka 1t Has Reached
$1.O5 Record.

The price Of wheat in Kansas took a
jump today, and grain dealers in To-
peka are paying the highest price in
thirty years-$1.04 and $1.05.
The government report which stated
that the condition of wheat taking the
country as whole was not up to stan
dard, was one of the contributing ele
ments in causing the jump in price.
The fact that there are no immediate
prospects of peace in Europe is said to
be another, cause.
