Standard Oil Gets Report
New York Dec. S.-The Standard
Oil ship Communipaw, reported in
Rome dispatches to have been sunk
by a submarine, arrived at Alexan-
dria, according to a cablegram re-
.ceived by the New York Office today.
The officials of the Stadard Oil COM
pany admitted it was possible the
vessel left port the next day and was
then attacked and sunk, but thought
this improbable. Shipping circles
say another ship of a similar name
might have been the one sunk. In

ed the name of the torpedoed vessel
was Columbia, indicating that there
was some doubt of the Rome dis
patches as to the name of the ship.

Storm Lake, Ia, Dec. S.-EdWard
Ball. football coach at Buena Vista
college, and Miss Fern Benedict,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. e. B. Bene-
dict of this city, were drowned while
skating on Storm lake last evening.
A number of skaters were enjoying
the first ice skating of the season
and Ball and Miss Benedict ventured
out about 100 yards from the shore.
The ice gave way. Ball attempted
to rescue the girl, but could find no
place where he could get grip upon
sound ice to which he might cling till
others could reach them. Several
other skaters attempted to aid the
pair, but could not get near them be-
cause of the breaking ice.
Both sank while probably two doZ
en- persons watched helplessly.
Balls home was at Valparaiso

NOT TO Be MOVED
All Chances For Merger With Par
sons or Removal Elsewhere
Are Abandoned.

Mount Pleasant, Ia, Dec. s. All
chances of a merger of Iowa Yves
leyan college and Parsons college of
fairfield are abandoned. and it is
now probable that Iowa Wesleyan
will remain here and that there will
be no merger with another school.
The committee of five to determine
the fate of the local school met this
morning and voted to retain the col
lege at Mount Pleasant, unmerged
with another institution, if certain
conditions are met.
Chief among these conditions is the
raising of the productive funds of the
college endowment to $250,000. OF
this sum Mount Pleasant and Henry
county will be expected to contribute
500, 900. This latter sum will be re-
turned if, in the future, the college
is moved elsewhere.
The college proposes to begin at
once a campaign to raise $150,O0O
outside of Henry county. All nego
tiations for removal of the college
cess or failure of the movement to
increase the college endowment,
If the present plan fails an effort
probably will be made to merge the
college with Cornell or Simpson
other Methodist institutions of the
state.
Wesleyan is the oldest college II
the state having been founded seven
iy-three years ago.
