AFTER NEW RECORDS.

Cambridge. Mass, July 16.---At- tempts to establish two new world s amateur records were scheduled for today at the Harvard Stadium track Norman F. Taber, formerly of Borwn and Oxford Universities, planned, with the aid Of pacemakers. to attack the record Of four minutes, If 2-5 se- conds for the mile run, made by John Paul Jones on this track three years ago. Taber, who ran second to Jones and who is now a member of the Boston Athletic association has been doing some fast running since his return from Oxford in the spring. It was his ambition, not only to lower Jones' record, but to eclipse the pro- fessicnal record of four minutes, 12 3-4 second. made by w. B. George in England in 1886.
 The other effort planned was by W. H. Meanix. formerly of Colby college and now student at Har- ward, who hoped to set new time for the 440 yards hurdles. The record of 5e 4-5 seconds was made by G. L. Anderson of England in 1910. An. derson has been killed in the war.

 Judge Cooper, represented Eric Carlson. who owns eleven tenements in this vicinity, and objected to an other saloon on the grounds that there are now saloons enough there and the policy of the county corn- naissioners Is to cut down the saloons in the outskirts. Judge Klett repre-. sented MT. Wallen, and argued strong ly against another saloon on South Main street. MT. Lynch had nothing to say.
 Brother Lynch's modesty is most pleasing" said Judge Gaffney. Priests Also Object.
 Remonstrances were also filed by Rev. Patrick Da1y and Rev. J. L. Sullivan, both of St. Joseph's church on the grounds that there are already three saloons in this vicinity of their church. To have another saloon in the neighborhood would be a de- triment, they think.
 Gaffney and Cooper Clash.
 One of Judge Klett's arguments had been that there is no demand fer saloon on South Main street by the many residents, LnSr6lOfe one iS not needed. To this Judge Gaffnev remarked that not long ago Judge Cooper had appeared before the com n,issioners to remonstrate against the granting of liquor license in the northwestern section of the city where there is a demand and where there is a saloon monopoly.
 Instantly Judge Cooper was on his feet objecting but Judge Gaffney serenely talked on, .unmindful of Judge Cooper's excitement, until compelled to listen to him. Judge Cooper said he objected to this state- ment by Judge GAffney and declared that he had not appeared at that hearing as paid lawyer. He said he appeared in objection at the or- der of the school board of which Judge Gaffney himself is chairman
 "Oh, don't get so sensitive, re- piled Judge Gaffney.
 I'm not sensitive but I didn't ap- pear to protect the monopoly. I appeared at the request of your own board" shot back Judge Cooper

of fourth saloon and that business is rapidly growing in that direction He said when he sold out his saloon five years ago he did it because he wanted to go on the road and he did not make any profit by the sale. Judge Cooper pointed out on tho city map that 294 South Main street is further away from the police station than any other saloon in the city. Buffers sa- loon on Hartford avenue is the next farthest away. Sanderson disclaimed any intention Of opening UP the sa ' loon in order to get the Berlin trade,
 Attorney Lynch asked Sanderson several questions about the many school children who attend the North end. High and St Joseph's parochial schools who would have to pass the saloon
 Eighteen years ago there were eight saloons here said SAnderson to show that it is not an unusual thing to have four saloons in this section
 Win Improve Building.
 James Shaw. owner of the property at 294 South Main street for the past fourteen years, said there has always been saloon there since he owned 1 the place and if a license is granted he expects to remodel the interior and exterior of the building. The witness spoke highly Of Sanderson's ability to 1 conduct a high class saloon.
 1 Why do you think saloon is 1 needed Judge Gaffney asked him. l Because it's growing So fast, they're i building houses houses every day in
 the week there the witness said.
 Tells of Much Building.
 To 2 subsequent question from
 Judge Cooper MT. Shaw said that be- I tween 200 and 300 new houses have been built in this vicinity within the l past few years. From Ellis street to Roberts street there are thirteen i stores on South Main street" said the witness to show that the district, while Z; growing In residential way is also
 growing in a business way.
 Judge Klett questioned Mir. Shaw's statement that there have been 200
 er three hundred new houses built 1 lately and asked him how many were l erected on the different streets. MT. 1 Shaw said two were built on Cherry l street, two on Ash street, ten on Vega l street, thirty or forty on Trinity street, thirty five on Roberts street, six or l eight on Bassett street. nine on Maple street, twelve or nfteen on South Main ] street, one on South street, two On an

Ganney ,ap- peared for the applicant Before the hearing opened Judge Gaffney asked Who appears for the cnrnb bination Of the saloon Keepers, : expressing the opinion that the other liquor dealers on South Main street objected to MT, sAnderson getting q license. , There were a few heated moments at ahe snd Of the nearing when Judge Coop ST and Judge Gaffney clashed over An insinuation made by the latter.
 Why He Wants License.
 Sanderson. the applicant, said he IS seventy three years old and for ff- teen years held liquor license on South Main street. For ten years of that time he had saloon at 2s4 South Main street selling out to Lan- dino. At present here are but three saloons in this district, but three years ago there were four, he said.5 He thinks this section of the city has increased in population by one- third and the business there has also Increased Sanderson showed over 100 endorsements to his application III Of those who signed declaring him to Be suitable man and the place suitable one Upsto three years ako Sanderson conducted the saloon at 294 South Main street and a sa- loon had been there for the past Thirty years, At present Sanderson $ engaged in the root beer business.

 Donnelly Family Opposed.
 Henry Donnelly, who lives at 2s1 South Main street and is manager of and Donnelly Brick company, repre- sented his mother and her family. The Donnelly estate, situated only ]. son wants a saloon, is a valuable piece of property. Mir. Donnelly said 1t is hard to keep his tenenents rent ed now and with another saloon there i1e would find it harder to rent them. Neither does MT. Donelly think that three saloons present do much busi- ness and he said Matthias Rival was obliged tc give up his saloon a few years ago bscause of poor business. MT. Donne1iy did not object to Lan- dino's removal across from hiA house because the building was greatly inn proved before he moved into it. While MT. Donnslly admitted talking to MT. Mccarthy, who runs smother sa- loon in this district, he denied that he came at his behest, on the other hand saying that he had tried to in- duce, MT. Mccarthy to come to the hearing. M. E Taylor, a store keep Ter, also objects to the AAloon but re- fused to appear in opposition. said the witness.
 Former OfIlciAI Protests.
 Former Building Inspector August Bergstrom of Trinity street appeared as d rernonstrant and said another saloon would cause property values to drop In this vicinity. MT. Bergstrorn also greatly cut down MT. Shaw's es- innate of the number of new houses nearby
 Louis wallen of 243 South Main street strongly objected to the grant, ing of the license ad showed writ ten renonstrance signed by many res- idents. He did not think there is any need of a new saloon.
 Fears Illegal Business. Patrick Harmon, for sixteen years a property owner on South Main ! street, objected to a new saloon on the grounds that there are enough saloons now.
 My opinion is that with the 1n- creased license fee next year the sa- loon men in this vicinity, in view of their present business, will have to do something besides an honest l business to get by said MT. Hannon. l Axel W. Appel of Trinity street registered remonstrance. In sunnrnoning up the case for his client Judge Gaffney said that "fo. time out of mind this honorable board has adjudsed this suitab ble l place and Mir Sanderson a suitable man don't want to make any unreasonable demands. All I want is q good fair consideration. After l further argument for his client Judge Gaffney concluded by calling at- tention to the fact that MT.

,,., Clash Between Glasses in the
keokuk High School Took
place Last Night at Junior
Festivity.
SOME WERE KIDNAPPED
neb.r. Of the Juniors EseaPed-the
Claims OF Rival War Offices
Are Not Very
Clear.

Keokuk high school seniors endeav-
,raa to interfere with the costume
aartv Of the Junior class which was
Ha;no held at the home Of Miss Vir-
e,nia Dunlap last night. The seniors
r,.im that the victory in the encoun-
tar helonged to them. The juniors are
acnalIv al positive that they won. SO
thst the claims are about rs conflict
ing a. those made by the foreign or
does Of the nations ct war.
The seniors succeeded In KIDNAPPING
some Of the juniors and tying them
together led them down Main street
behind an automobile. Later they tooa
the discounted Juniors to the rear OF
the Hubinger property On Grand ave-
nue. and tied them there. The juniors
later escaped and made their way
hack to the party. Their costumes
we're as tattered a. those worn by
George Washington's host at Valley
Forge before they managed to get
back to their friends.
The seniors exhibited tactics In
seiee which would do credit to West
Pointer They used the headlights OF
fonr automobiles to cover the en-
frances to the Dunlap home. No
Junior could enter or leave In the
cover Of darkness through this
method.
Three Of the six junior men came
safely through the lines; however.
The claim is made by some OF the
neutrals that the seniors enlisted
freshmen and sophomores in their at
tack.
Investigation May Result.
It is understood that an investiga-
ton OF the affair is being made and
that some prosecutions may result as
It is considered that the action of the
seniors last night was entirely too
drastic. Had any OF the men slipped
and fallen, when tied to the autos,
they might have been killed, and the
stunt of tying man at the bottom Of
the steps to the river bank. when he
was clad only in fancy dress cos
tune, displayed nothing OF class spirit.
but rather was ba-barious In the ex-
treme.
For several years there has been
more or less good natured rivalry be-
tween the two upper classes. This ia
really the first time that anything 80
drastic as what occurred last night
has been pulled OF.
