WORK ON NEW CORNELL FIELD
Varsity Teams VIII Play This Year
in schoellkopf Stadium.

ITHACA, Aug. 22.--The dream OF thou
sands OF Cornell men. alumni and under
gradua tes--that varsity athletics be trans
ferred to the new Alumni Field on the
campus--s about to be realized. Co
incident with the beginning OF the con-
struction of concrete stadium on the
level devoted to football and track. and
which will be known in the future as
Schoellkopf Field comes the announcement
from Graduate Manager Kent Of the
Cornell Athletic Assoc! alton, that track
meets next spring will be held on the new
field. and that by the fall of 1915 football
games will be played there. All football
practice this fall will he held on the hill
and the new grounds will be broken In for
the big contests to come.
Thus after twelve years and following
an expe ndlture OF s330000. Cornell will
begin to use tho great athletic field for
varsity purposes. A considerable part of
II. at least twenty-five acres. already has
been in use for some time for intercoi-
leglate or intramural activities, as we'll az
for the athletic activities OF the general
student body.
The dirt already has begun to fly In
the excavation work for tho concrete
stadium. which was made possible by the
gift of $40 900 by the Schoellkopf family a
few weeks ago.

fale's plan Ia to play all OF the games
of the preliminary season on the old field
and reserve the opening OF the stadium
for the big Yale-Harvard fight.
Already there Is talk OF raising the
price Of seats this year and II seems to be
understood generally that a slight advance
will be made. Yale is still short OF money
to complete her bowl and lay out the
new field as the authorities think that II
should be completed The money already
secured has been pledged to a large ex-
tent by alumni. who have purchased
bonds at 500 each which the Yale au-
thorltics issued for the construction work,
The holders or these certificates have the
privilege Of buying two tickets at $3.50
each for fifteen years for the big games
played In the stadium.
The huge structure has begun 10 take
definite form. Inside the enclosure the
playing surface has been graded and
rolled and now is being hardened. The
concrete circular wall that entirely en-
closes the bowl Is being poured through
tho moulds and another week will see
this practically completed. Those who
complained OF the glare from the Harvard
stadium Will find that the builders OF
the bowl have colored the cement that
will be poured in for the seats, giving It
a slate tone which II IL claimed will be
restful 10 the eyes. Wooden seats, held
in place by iron braces. will be attached
TO the concrete. In this. as in other
ways Yale has the advantage OF the ex-
perience OF the Harvard builders
All OF the earth has been thrown into
place. The height Of the earthen side
walls is about forty feet above the
ground level. while the playing surface If
about the same distance below the ground
level.
The designers have arranged for the
seating OF $4,000 people and standing
room for $4,000 more In former years
Yale has been hard put TO accommodate
half that number on the old wooden

10000 men, in the field on short no.
tice, Arrangements also have been
made for extending a national call for
volunteers.
Evidence of the war departments
belief in the gravity OF the situation
is the fact that dispatches to govern.
ors and militia commanders, and even
the call for volunteers, have already
been written and await only a word
to be flashed to every city in the

Under the constitution, the militia
cannot be called upon for foreign duty,
but in the event of war with Mexico
all militia men will be allowed to
volunteer for foreign service. Those
who decline may be used as a border

NUMBER OF AMERICANS IN
MEXICO CITY is UNCERTAIN

Washington.-As there has been a
general exodus of foreigners from
Mexico since President Wilson's mes
sage to congress last year, it was
announced that the state department
had no official figures on which to base
an estimate of the number of Ameri-
cans still across the border. Neither
was it possible to tell the approximate
number of Americans in Mexico City,
but it was not believed to be large.
Reports received here through the
state department and war department
point out that during the operations
Of Villa in Chihuahua last year thou
sands OF Americans in that state came
to the United State. Many have since
returned, but hundreds are continu-
ally coming and going.
The number Of American women
and children at present in Mexico is
very small, it is thought at the state
department. The indication is that
ranchers who have remained across
the boundary to care for their prop
erty have taken the p~ecaution to send
their families to the United States,
There are many American cowboys
in Mexico, but it is said most of them
are single and well able to care for
themselves.

SEEKS PAY As GOVERNOR.
suLzER FIGHTS TO GET CASE
IN HIGHER COURT.
He Asks Judge in State Tribunal to
Set Aside Own Findings Rendered
In impeachment Court.

Albany. n. Y.-The state court OF
appeals listened TO arguments on the
question of the legality OF the i'm
parchment and removal from office
of former Gov. William Sulzer.
The proceedings, which were insti-
tuted by Sulzer himself in an effort to
have the United States supreme court
pass on the validity of the impeach-
ment we're brought against William
S. Sohmer, the state comptroller, to
compel him to pay the former execu-
tive the salary of governor from the
date of his removal. Sulzer has drawn
an assemblyman's salary from the
state in the meantime.
A peculiar feature Of the action is
that the judges of the court of ap-
peals, who we're members of the court
of impeachment, are asked TO set
aside the verdict for which they voted
when Sulzer was removed from office.
In his brief, opposing the Sulzer
request, Attorney General Carmody
argued that the courts of the state
had no right to review the determine
ton Of the court of impeachment, and
that Sulzer abandoned the office of
governor by acquiescing in the judg-
ment of the impeachment court and
accepting the office of member Of the
assembly.

DICTATOR HUERTA URGES
REBEL FORCE TO JOIN HIM.

JuareZ, Mexico.-To urge an ALI
ance of federals and rebels to oppose
foreign interference in Mexico, Miguel
Acuna, who says he has authority from
Huerta to negotiate with the rebel
leaders, was permitted to 90 to Chi
huahua. To meet Acuna and to con
fer with Gen. Carranza about the pro-
posed alliance, Gen. Villa is reported
TO have left Torreon for Chihuahua.
Acuna has been here for more than
a week, but rebels would not give him
a passport to Chihuahua, saying they
wished to make no pact with Huerta.
After the relations between the United
States and the Huerta government be
came acute and the rebels began to
fear war with the United States would
involve rebel portions of the country,
the rebels changed greatly in their
attitude. 1t is not believed in Juarez
that an alliance will be made, for it
Is considered as certain that Carranza
and Villa both would prefer to take
their chances with the United States.

MAYOR ESCAPES BULLETS
WOUNDED BY SHOT
AIMED AT mitchell.
Refused to Talk Of Attempted
Assassination.

New York.-An a~ssassin's bullet
aimed at Mayor Mitchell as he
was leaving the city hall In an auto
mobile for luncheon missed him, but
seriously wounded Frank Polk, cor
poration counsel. The man who fired
the shot was instantly overpowered.
His name is Michael D. Mahoney, his
age nearly 70, and he gave evidences
of being mentally unbalanced.
The bullet went through Folks
jaw, knocked out nearly all his front
teeth, and inficting a serious, though
not necessarily fatal wound. He was
assisted into the city hall, then re-
moved to a hospital.
Attaches at the city ball said Ma
honey had called to see the mayor sew
eral times lately, but because of his
queer actions had not been permitted
to see him.
Mahoney, the would-be assassin, was
taken into the city hall basement,
where he was questioned in a room
adjoining that where Polk was being
treated.
Mayor Mitchell came in and stood by
the prisoner. Rose was trembling
fright and his hands shook.
why did you shoot at me?' the
mayor asked him.
Rose only mumbled.
Il won't say anything" he finally
shouted.
