NEW DECATUR

New Decatur, May 31.-(Special )-An- nouncement was made here today that 24 prominent business men of the Deca- turs had guaranteed the sale of 700 sea- son tickets at $2,50 each, insuring the holding of Redpath Chautauqua here next year. Owing to the fact that the Chautauqua which closed Sataurday night had not proved profitable it seemed pos sible that no Chautauqua would be held next year. The Chautauqua of the past three years have come here under tho auspices of the Ladies' Benevolent so- cety of the Decaturs, this organization making the guarantee necessary to SC. cure the attraction. This year, but fo' concessions made by the Chautauqus management, the Benevolent society would have been compelled to make a part of their guarantee good.
 Willis Henderson of the Decaturs has

PROBLEMS OF THE NATION DISCUSSED J. Lester Hill Wins Contest for Tennant Lomax
 Prize
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

University, May 31-(Special )-Modern problems of the nation, as discussed by two university students this morning. re- eeived more favorable attention from judges than those dealing with humani- tartan and utilitarian ideas. R. T. Simp- son of Florence, in the annual contest for the trustees medal, won with his ad- dress, '4The Revival of Our Merchant Marine" and J. l.. Hill of Montgomery. in the annual oratorcal contest for the Tennant Lomax prize, won with his ad- dress, American Prepa redness ana Peace"
 MT Simpson made plea for the creation of a merchant marine in order that America might acquire the trade of the world and as result the wealth of the world might gain, in other words inde- pendenee of commerce and resultant ben efits. MT. IIill insisted in his speech that America prepars itself for whatever might come in the future history of the world, but made it plain that he did not advocate the creation of a national mili- tary spirit.
 The other speakers and their subjects were:
 Solomon Garden of Corona, "The Basis of Prison Reform" w. Pratt Thomas of Prattville, "The Child Labor Problem;" p. H. Carmichael of Goodwater, "Ths Problems of Eugenics,' and H. c. Filler If Hartford, Some of the Characteristics If the Old South''
 The judges were: Dr. Graham of the university faculty; Dr. Dawson, pastor of the Baptist church. and Dr. Boyd of the Presbyterian church
 The decision of the judges was appar- ently popular

University, May Especial )-That onc-balf of the students of the Uni versity of Alabama are self-supporting is perhaps the most surprising state ment made by Dr. George H. Denny. president, in his annual report to the board of trustees. made public tonight.
 The president, in that statement, cor rects an erroneous impression to the effect that only the sons of rich men arc sent to the university for purposes of education. The report points out the fact that many of the students are siN- on employment by the university, and many others, in spare moments and Il, vacation periods. earn money sufficient to carry them through the regular courses.
 The report to the trustees indicates the splendid growth and development of the university which at the present time is just beginning to come into its own. During the scholastic year just concluding. there were 1878 students in the various departments. whereas three years ago, the number was 7s5. One of the greatest accomplishments, the report says, of the year was the begir.- ning and practical conclusion of the construction of a dormitory for young women. The provisions for co-eds prior to the erection of this structure were unworthy, the president in his report admits.
 Fine Growth Shown
 A feature of the report is the presen- tation of figures indicating the fiae growth of the summer school. The lumber of pupils attending this school three years ago was 243. The number last summer was 633.
 Among the recommendations of the president are that a three-year course in law be established, and that pre- yirions be made for the creation of school of commerce or business ad- miaistration.
 The needs of the university are thus Get out in the report
 Great maintenance fund; new dornl- tory for young men, new library build ins: means for the completion Of the 6ornlitory for women; the construct'on of modern chemical laboratoryi the construction and equipment of a mod : ern hospital. and means whereby the university might furnish the rooms for students.
 pr Denny states in the report that he would not venture to approximate the sum of money which in the grant ing of all the needs enumerated would be required.
 The report of the president follows; To the Board of Trustees of the lniver-
 sity of Alabama
 Gentlemen: l have the honor to submit to you the following report for the session

 SOLELY RESPONSIBLE
Frank P. Walsh Issues Statement on Colorado Mine Strike Investigation
 by Federal Commission

Kansas City May 31.-Frank P. Walsh, chairman of the industrial relations com-
 mission, in a statement today, declared the commission has proved the absolIte
 responsibility of MT. John D. Rockefeller,
 Jr., himself, for everything that happened

 who led the Colorado strike were light
 Ing the same fight for liberty against an
 enemy as powerful and menacing as any
 ever faced by our revolutionary fore
 fathers"
 "The record of the Washington hearing of the commission said Chairman walsh,
 "is remarkable. to my mind, 'ef1y be-
 cause every major indictment brought against the Rockefellers, father and son,
 as well as the other coal operators work ing with them in Colorado, by the bitter est of agitators has been proven out of the men whom he hired to carry out tiie joint wills of his father and himself. in most instances backed up by the letters over the signatures of these men.
 Political domination, intimidation of | the governor, contempt for govern .

 the carefully organized and extensive l (amnaiQn undertaken deceive the people-all of these have been estat- 1 lished beyond all doubt from the tes- i timony of MT. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and his personal lieutenants."
