IMPORTANT
Results Expected From Agri-
culture Conference {,

Logan, Utah, Feb. 6 Important
and far-reaching results are expected
to follow a conference of Western
agricultural colleges which met at the
Utah State Agricultural College here
today for two days session. The
initial stimulus to the movement came
from Senator Brady of Idaho, who,
at the national meeting of agricultural
colleges in Washington last Novem-
ber, suggested to few inter-moun-
tain Representatives the necessity of
uniting the far Western colleges in
order to get proper support from the
national legislation, as the inter-
mountain States have small con-
gressional representation as COM
pared with other parts of the country.
The States represented at the con-
ference are Idaho, Utah, Colorado,
Washington, Oregon, Montana and
Wyoming. The subjects up for dis
cussion include the standardizing of
extension work, cooperation in ex-
perimental work to avoid duplication,
and the securing of needed State and
national legislation.

any way l can to get what the city
has needed for many years, and moth
ing will go farther to add to the
beauty of the city than nice sub
stantial city building with a large audi

and room large enough for the
meetings of the G. A. X. with mem
orial tablets of all men of the county
who gave up their lives in the war
of the rebellion and those who have
since died. This would be fitting
recognition of the gallant service per

the money to equip it.

Stand Against Free Tolls,
PREDICT HOUSE WILL YIELD

Chairman Adamson Of the Committee
On Interstate Commerce Favors
Repeal Of Canal Act Provision That
Gives American Ships Free Access
to the Waterway-Rough Going
Sure To BE Encountered In Senate.
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE belief at
the Capitol is that President Wilson
will send special message to con-
gress urging the repeal of the free
toll provision Of the Panama canal
act. Representative Adamson OF
Georgia, chairman OF the committee
on Interstate commerce, said that he
favored the repeal of the provision
that gives American ships free ac-
cess to the waterway while imposing
tolls on foreign bottoms.
"This provision OF law Is unjust
and inequitanle," said Chairman Ad-
amson. II am heartily in sympathy
with the presidents desire that it
shall be repealed"
Representative Knowland of Cali.
fornia, who fought for the free toll
section and is bitterly opposed to its
repeal, intimated that the administra-
tion is anxious to amend the Panama
canal act to oblige Great Britain.
I'VE are paying dear price for
the friendship Of Great Britain, even
though II may help us out in Mex
ico," remarked Mr.. Knowland, sig
niflcantly. "The proposed repeal bill
will, predict, precipitate one of the
most spirited debates which has been
heard in congress for years and will
provoke free and full discussion of
our foreign policy" Mr. Knowland
declared that ito meet fully the OBJ
jections Of Great Britain a full and
complete surrender of American
rights at Panama will be necessary"
Representative Mann OF Illinois, the
Republican floor leader, is opposed to
the repeal bill introduced several
weeks ago by Representative Adam.
son. Mr.. Adamson expressed the
opinion that as soon as the president

reported and passed by the house.
II is the general belief that the de.
termination of the administration to
insist upon the repeal of the toll pro.
vision will indefinitely prolong the
present session of congress. A long
drawn-out fight on the measure is ex-
pected In the senate.
Senator O'Gorman, chairman OF the
interoceanic canals committee, who
declared following the announcement
OF President Wilson's position that
he proposed to fight against repeal of
the tolls provision to the last ditch,
does not expect any consideration OF
the repeal by his committee until the
matter has been disposed of In the
house.

planned p for Wednesday night at
,Brun, on buckeye lake, and elabor-
ate preparations were made to give
the affair in a manner to please all

sheriff they went to Bruno in a taxi
cab Wednesday evening, arriving
there about $3.50. Their visit, how
ever, was anticipated and when the
officers arrived there was no evidence
Of any wrongdoing OF the expected
nature. and as Harris, had no affidav-
1T or warrant, to search, or for any
ones arrest, he waited around until
about 1880 and with his deputies
then returned to Newark without hav-
ing made any arrests.

"pulled or later Is another story, but

The talk of a city hall is uppermost

Away back in the eighties, Mr.. Noah
Boynton and myself had an option on
the Rogers property, northeast corner
Public Square and East High street for
$4,000, but when we sprung the idea of
city hall we were nearly mobbed

property today and see where they

the Grand Army of the Republic Of
Mt. Vernon, was asked today If the

the removal of the monument from
the center of the square in order to
let the city utilize the square for a
public building l said | did not be-
lieve there would be an objection Of

one corner of the square or even at

ceremonies, Captain William r. Full
am today assumed his new duties as
superintendent fthe United States
Naval Academy, succeeding Captain
John H. Gibbons,who has been as

tendent is regarded as one of the most
brilliant officers OF the navy. When

emy in 1877 he stood at the head of
the class. For more than twenty
years he was stationed at the academy
as an instructor in different depart
ments and as head of the department
or ordnance. 1t is in the training of
enlisted men, however, that Captain
FulIam has achieved his most con.
spicuous success 1t was under his
command that the naval training sta
ton at Newport attained its present
high standard of efficiency. His record
there resulted in his assignment as the
first commander OF the new training
station on the Great Lakes, where his
success at Newport was duplicated.
His experience and unusual success
in the training of the young men who
make up the enlisted personnel
