Sixty-one thousand spectators is
the seating capacity of the oval
bowl ?shaped concrete stadium, COW
ering IL and one-half acres, which is
being built at Yale Field, New Hav-
en-, Conn.,, to replace the present one

maintenance alone from $4,000 tc
$4,000 per year. Ultimately the
new structure may be extended to
by the addition of balcony to ac-
commodate 100000 people, and in size
will rival some of the ancient Greek
and Roman amphitheaters.
The center of the stadium is in ar
excavation, while the upper part rests
on hill. The spectators gain en-
trance to the amphitheaters through
thirty tunnels. These terminate on the
inside of the bowl, where the step is
three and one-half feet wide, and will
be used for cross isle. Below this
aisle there are twenty-five steps

farmer and his wife who started for

Before the couple set off they
were cautioned frequently by their

started on their journey with a ner-

sharpers and confidence men.

The last he saw of his wife she was
craning out of the car window

him which he couldn't hear on account
of the noise of the train.
1T happened that an express came
along few minutes later. The old
farmer boarded the express and beat
his wife to st. Paul nearly an hour.
He was waiting for her at the

JOHN d. JR. BEFORE THE
STRIKE PROBE COMMITTEE

WASHINGTON, D. c., April o.
John Rockefeller, Jr., today faced
the house committee of Colorado
strike probers. The members are pre-.
pared to go to the bottom of Rookie
feller's domination in the Colorado
coal fields. The members of the
committee are agreed that the in.
vestigation is bound to furnish 9
strong working basis for the recon.
mendations for federal regulation il
the strike district.
Taking Rockefeller's testimony is
one of the last steps in the Colorado
probe. The probers are shaping theii
final report.
Rockefeller testified that his faith.
er held forty per cent of the stock OF
the Colorado Iron and Fuel company
He declared he only held enough to
qualify as director.
He was severely grilled by the
committee on the management of the
company. He admitted to Represen.

Manager Bower that he would stant
by him, whatever he did.

Importance to attend the meeting OF
the board of directors last October p
asked representative Foster, of the
investigating committee.
NO" the witness answered.
Foster suggested that as chairman
of the white slave grand jury Of
New York and other sociological in
vestigations Rockefeller should have
undertaken personal investigation
of the Colorado coal strike.
II wish to say that in the white
slave case l did not make personal
investigations" said the witness.
Rockefeller admitted he didn't know
the rent of the miners in the coal dis
tricts of Colorado were paid, or that
the company owned all the houses.

Senator Owen was not present but

Denver's heightened church, was
brough about by sermons preached
taking the sides of striking miners
and then favoring the water company

tion. If SO, it again illustrates that
preachers should not the church ia

ercising individual preferences but ii
does prevent espousing them in edi-
fices which are only intended for

AWAITS DECISION OF COURT

COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo. April
|6.-Until ordered to do so by the
courts, Colorado Springs will not pay
the state motor tax on municipal
driven vehicles, according to decision
Of the city council. County officials
have threatened, unless the city paid
the tax Immediately, drivers of city
owned vehicles would be arrested and
fined. City Attorney Bennett has ad-
vised the county attorney that the
city would welcome test suit any
time.
The whole matter hinges on wheth-
er the tax provides for license or
tax. If it is license, the city must
pay, according to an opinion by the
attorney general. If tax, the city
needn't pay. Attorney General Far
rar declines to state whether it is a
