TO INVESTIGATE POKER GAME.
Cornelius Profit Tells Conflicting
Tales of Game. According to Police.

The police are trying to find out
who held the high hand in an alleged
poker game Friday night.
Cornelius Profit, AIS Van Buren,
street, reported to the police today
that he was held up and robbed of $25
by two negroes as he was coming
home from the Wolff Packing COM
pany's plant, where he is employed,
about 10 o'clock Friday night. The
negroes, A. G. Martin and John Jack
son, were arrested this morning.
Profit, according to detectives, then
changed his story, saying he stopped
in at the restaurant of n. L. Robins
1O6 Kansas avenue, on his way home,
where he saw Jackson. He agreed to
a little game" and took them to his
room, he said. He claimed to have
won all their money, after which
Martin pulled out a gun and told him
to fork over" he alleges.
The negroes. however. claim that
there was no holdup and that they
merely held the winning hands in
such profusion that Profit and his
$25 were soon parted

Doctor Phillips advocated the adop-

effect that no man can play inter-coi-
legiate games until he has completed
one years work in the college.
"I am in favor of this measure for
several reasons" said Doctor Phillips.
I'm the first place, the first year a
man attends college should be given
over to study more than to athletics.
If he is trying for a team, he will nat

and his studies will suffer, and the
primary reason for attending college
should be for knowledge"

DELAY HIGHWAY PROGRAM
Less Than One Third of Mileage Under
Contract Has Been Completed.

During the last VITO years the high
way program has been subjected to
one delay after another, until out OF
a mileage of 1918 placed under con-
tract it has been impossible to COM
plete more than 100 miles, according
to the biennial report of the state
highway commission made public to-
day. The report says that the de-
lays are chargeable to three primary
reasons: first, lack of adequate rail-
transportation for materials; second,
the shortage of materials; third, labor
difficulties.
''The first reason is the one that has
caused more trouble in building high
ways than the other two combined, -
the commission declares. The in
terstate commerce commission since
the railroads left government control
has been issuing priorities and restric-
tons which have operated against the
highway work in almost every in
stance, and even when special permits
sion was granted to furnish equipment
for hauling of materials for certain
work it has been withdrawn shortly
after permission was granted. As a
large part of the materials entering
into our highway program must be
shipped by rail it has proven unusu-
ally difficult to carry on our program
during the last two years.
Second: Highway work has in
creased more rapidly during the last
few years than has the production of
materials required for highway con-
struction so that the demand for ma
terial exceeds our present available
supply There are undoubtedly many
natural resources that have as yet
been undeveloped which will eventually
assist in carrying on the program anu
every facility should be provided for
the Investigations of our resources
with a view to their commercial de-
velopment-
Third: Labor conditions have af-
fected the highway program as we'll
as other industries. Labor has been
. rather shiftless and inclined to be in
different toward the work Relays
in receiving material requiring tenn
porary discontinuance of work has
usually caused the contractor to lose
the bulk of his force. The necessity
for reorganizating upon again starting
out not only delayed the work. but in
creased the cost
