CITY WILL HAVE
BASEBALL DIAMOND
Chamber of Commerce Appoints
Committee to Make Final Ar
ranGements-Two Plans
Considered

Pullman is assured of a municipal
baseball diamond, action looking to-
ward the securing of suitable
grounds for that purpose having
been taken by the Chamber of Com
MERGE at its meeting Wednesday
evening. After a full discussion of
the matter a committee consisting
OF Frank E. Sanger, DR.. A. e. Arch
err and Dr.. E. Mcguire was appoint
ed TO investigate the possibility of
securing a suitable ground and was
given full power to act Two plans
will be considered by the committee,
one of them being the leasing of the
present baseball park from Mrs.
Matilda Koppel for one or more
years. The other plan, and the one
which is meeting with considerable
favor, is the construction of new
park in the west end of the present
city park. This plan would make the
park much more easily accessible
than is the present one.
The present baseball park was
purchased by the city baseball team
nearly 10 years ago, but three years
ago was sold to satisfy tax judg-
ment against the property. Later
the park came into the possession OF
Mrs. Koppell, and for the past two
years has been leased from her, the
lease price having been $50 per year.
AS soon as one or the other of the
plans is adopted by the committee
city team will be organized. 1t is
also proposed to organize a city
league, with teams from each of the
fraternal organizations competing.

BRYAN SEES TWO SOLUTIONS

Thursday morning In chapel
President Bryan spoke briefly on the
report OF U. S. Com missioner of Edu-
cation ?. P. Claxton. After mention
Ing some of the salient features of
the report with regard to dupllca-
ton of courses at the Z. Of W. and
W. S. c., he stated that it was his
belief that there were two possible
solutions to the problem: either
compliance with the law authorizing
the establishment Of the University
and w. S. c., or the unham-
pered development of both insti-
buttons. The latter solution, the
president was inclined to think,
would be the one arrived at.
But it was his further opinion that,
even If two complete higher institu-
lions of learning resulted, the Uni
versity would continue to give most
weight to the liberal arts, law and
medicine, and w. sc. would con-
tinue to emphasize science and tech
nology.

RUSSELL h. CONWELL
TOMORROW NIGHT
Noted Speaker VIII Deliver His
Famous Lecture, Acres of
Diamonds" as Last Lee
ture Course Number

The most popular lecture in the
world is the sweeping claim made
for Russell H. Conwell's best known
address, Acres of Diamonds"
which he will deliver before Pull
man people in the auditorium Satur-
day night, Mach 20, as the fifth and
final number of this years lecture
course. This lecture, which is but
one OF a repertoire of 10, has been
published in various forms and has
gained no slight reputation.
Acres of Diamonds" has been
given 5000 times, including its de-
livery in Europe, Africa, and Asia
during DR.. Conwell's trip around the
world. This lecture WAS delivered
as many as 81 times in one city, and
Is on the same theme as the speak
er'5 first attempt on the platform
in 1869.
For more than IS years DR.. Con-
we'll has given all the proceeds from
his lectures for the education of
young men and women in the col
leges OF America. The total sum
realized from his Acres of Dia-
monds" alone amounts to over
S4,O0O,O0O, the receipts from a sin
gle lecture in Baltimore having ex-
ceeded all expenses by $1,751. Ac-
cording to Philadelphia publica-
ton he is the greatest individual
benefactor of humanity"
1t is interesting to note that Dr..
Conwell's work is not chiefly lectur-
ing. He has been a lawyer and pas
tor for 80 years, and has built up
large church in Philadelphia. He
has also been a prime factor In the
development of a university for the
workers of that city, and of two hos
pitfalls there.
That DR.. Conwell is citizen of
no small prominence in the East is
indicated by the fact that last May,
in Philadelphia, on the occasion of
his delivering his Acres of Dia-
monds" the 5000th time, elaborate
ceremonies were conducted in his
honor. In the course OF the even
ing he was presented with a purse
of $4,000 and an album containing
the autographs OF 5000 men and
women from all parts of the United
States.
The committee in charge of the
event was composed OF William Jen-
nings Bryan, secretary of state, and
the governors of Pennsylvania,
Maryland Texas, West Virginia,
Ohio, Delaware, Connecticut, Mich
igan, Wyoming, New York, and
South Dakota. John Wanamaker
was president of the organization
for the entire arrangements, and
highly eulogized DR.. Conwell in the
speech that opened the exercises in
the historic Academy of Music. Mr..
Wanamaker said that that house had
known no such audience since the
nomination of Grant.

MANY OWNERS OBJECT
TO SEWER ASSESSMENT
Stormy Session of Council When
Property Owners Appear En-
Masse to Protest Assessments
on Sewer

All the exciting committee ses-
sions OF the late legislature were
eclipsed by the meeting of the city
council last Tuesday evening when
the hearing on the assessment roll
for Improvement District No. 20,
which includes the Military hill sewer
and part of the College hill sewer,
was held. Almost every property
owner in the districts affected had a
complaint. and the big majority or
them were there in person to reg
lister this complaint with the city
fathers. After each of the protesters
had had his say, and several uncom-
remarks had been passed
back and forth, 1t was decided 10
place the entire matter in the hands
of an arbitration board for final set
Element, this board to consist OF the
street and highway and sewer COM
mittees of the council, the city en-
gineer, and one man from each OF
the two hills included in the dis
trict. Mayor Jackson named b. l..
Steele to represent the College NIL
interests and Grover Gentry as rep
resentative of the Military hill pro-
testers.
This mediation board will meet
some time next week and Will re-
port its findings at the next meeting
OF the council. when the matter win
be finally settled.

FLUsHER BIDS REJECTED

Becuse both the bids submitted to
the city council Tuesday evening for
the street flusher were irregular, the
city fathers refused to accept either
of the proffers and instructed City
Clerk Cannon to re-adyertise for
bids. r. G. Martin offered to pro-
vide Studebaker street flusher for
$1O25, and the bid of B. F. Camp
bell for a Hodson-Feenaughty flush
er was $1100. One of the bids was
not accompanied by a check and the
check attached to the other was not
certified, so both were rejected.

his friends from everywhere. That
is why Broadway is mare than a
street-it is a personality.

white" offers some strange fig-
ures. II is the glare that brings
every man. woman and child there
someday-just like blazing candle
| brings the moths. And the job OF
keeping Broadway a white way" Is
q tremendous Job.
Every night there are two men
who start up and down the white
way and work until the last light
wrinkles out. They look out for tho
flaws in the electric signs. Seven
hundred thousand people walk up
and down Broadway nightly, accord
ing to figures prepared by Louise
Eberle, writer.
Keeping the big electric signs go
ing makes work for many. There
was the lady Of Herald square whose
skirts tapped In the rain. One night
the rain started to fall upward. It
had to be remedied. Another night
huge sign began popping out one
by one. 1t was learned that an in
tcxicated gentleman in Broadway
hotel was popping them out with an
air gun.

the speech that Rennold Wolf,
