HAVE TO HEAR BRYAN
Members of Texas Legislature Can't
Escape Commoner's Address.

Austin, Tex, March 13.-William j.
Bryan is anxious to talk TO the Texas
legislature and wired State Senator
FLOYD he would be here Saturday.
News of the Nebraskans telegram
caused a number of legislators to get
busy in an effort to force sine die adj
journment Friday, as there is violent
opposition on the part of some Demo-
Gratis to having Bryan speak to the
legislature.
The effort to adjourn will fail be-
cause of the attempted impeachment
of Governor Ferguson now under con-
sideration by a special house commit
tee. Bryan will talk here according TO
schedule.

ADD TO COURSE
High School May Put in Big
Auto Curriculum.
Students Want to Know More
About Handling Cars.

IT is probable that the high school
curriculum Will contain an automo-
bile course next year under a special
teacher. The night course in auto in
struction inaugurated this year by
superintendent Wilson has met with
such good support that the popularity
of such course among the high
school students is believed assured.
The plan, as tentatively discussed
by teachers and Superintendent VIII
son, includes not only study of auto
mobile construction, repairs, etc, but
a study of the place of auto trans
rortation in modern business life. II
the initial course is successful it Will
lie broadened to include practical
training for auto salesmanship and
driving.
The two classes under the Prot.
Raymond Heine have had an enroll
n7ent OF about 40. mainly made up of
car owners.

Philadelphia, May 17-Although the University of Pennsylvania has de- c1ared for the continuation of all forms of athletic sports her athletes are not backward about doing their bit in the great war. Practically all of the Penn athletes of 8 military age have volunteered their services to some branch of Uncle Sam's service, and many of those who are not liable for service just now are working on farms in the middle west. The latest of the Pennsylvania athletes to come to the front is Tommy Lennon, the game little quarter-miler. whose great sprint in the last 100 yards won tho recent one-mile intercollegiate relay championship for Lawson Robertson's team. Tommy will sail rom "a port in the United States within very few days to take up the task of driving an American ambulance 'somewhere in France" Lennon Is an expert mo- torist. and he plans to spend all of his time until college opens in the fall in the ambulance service on the other side. It will be no great surprise to Lemons friends if he does not come back early in the fall either. As is well known. Tommy trained for the air service at GovetuoT's Island al

LYNN REGATTA
 IS CALLED OFF
Amateur 0arsmen Association Falls in Line With Other Sports

New York, May 17.-The National Association of Amateur Oarsmen has followed the example of the Inter- collegiate Rowing Association and called of its championship regatta scheduled to be held at Lynn, Mass, on July 27 and 2s. This action was taken at Q meeting held here yester- day at the call of James A. Pilking- ton, president of the National associa- ton.
 Members of the executive commit tee, representing the various sections of the country, declared that it was the concensus of opinion of officers or tine clubs in their districts that 1t would be contrary to the spirit 0f the times to promote a regatta. The au- thorities at Lynn concurred in this, and the regatta was declared off.
 With the cancellation of this event American waters were swept clear of competitive rowing. Just a few days ago the schuylkill navy decided 10 abandon it's regatta set for Juno g.. The Peoples regatta. rowed on July 1 every year, also has been declared of. The Middle States Regatta asso- citation followed the example of the others.
 MT. Parkington hoped up to the last minute that the regatta might be held.
 He said last night: This is the first time in almost half century that our regatta has not been held, and re- gret that conditions necessitate de- claring 1t off now. There seems to be no other way, however,
 Many of our young mon have an- swered the call to the colors and many others are going. It would be almost impossible to hold any crew races. It Is too bad for the sake of the younger men who are just starting to row that this setback should como. but in tho face of the great emergency that our country faces all minor activities must step aside.
 "Duluth would be strong. The Du- luth Boat club has about a dozen crews working, and some of them would be able to start. Moreover the Duluth club would have several good scullers, but this club is the ex- ception.
 T had hoped right up to the last minute that our regatta would be held. However. this desire to sacrifice sport Is in the air, and when the colleges cancelled their schedules all other amateur organizations followed the example. All that we can do now Is wait for happier times to return to the land.'
