GOPHER COACH
SCOTS CRITICS
DR.. Williams Says Faculty Doesn't
Discriminate Against Gridders
as College Papers Imply.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. 29.-Dr.
H. L. Williams. University of Min
nesota football coach. in a state
ment given today to the Minnesota
Daily, student publication, declares
he does not think faculty members
discriminate against football play
ers, as has been alleged by some
students and alumni.
The recent agitation, induced by
university publications and articles
in the public press in regard to the
faculty management, standards of
athletic requirement, and the atti-
tude of faculty members toward
men on the football team, has SEEM
ed to be somewhat unfortunate"
DR.. Williams said. Several play
ers on last years football team
have. since the close of the season,
failed in their studies and dropped
out. which, coupled with the fact
that last years football team was
unsuccessful from the standpoint
of winning games, is doubtless re-
sponsible for the inception of this
agitation.
1T has been my experience that
for more than twenty years. that
professors and instructors have al
ways given football men . square
deal and have helped them in every
possible legitimate way"

IRONING HALTEDM
HOME WHEN WIRES
ON BLUFF ARE CUT

Yesterday was tree cutting day
for the Moline street department,
It was also ironing day for many
housekeepers on the bluff.
The coincidence of these two
events is the basis of this little
story. II 1t hadn't been tree cut
ting day all would have undoubt-
eddy gone we'll, and ditto with the
ironing situation.
An old cottonwood tree was To-
Gated on Sixteenth avenue and
Twelfth street. 1t interfered with
. contemplated sidewalk, so it was
ordered removed.
But the cutting Of the tree en-
dangered power wires, and in re-
Spouse to the city's emergency call
the power company cut the wires,
which stopped the power, which
stopped the ironing.
Then there were bowls from
housewives. And that's the end of
the story. The wires were repaired
last night.

Ltaer profit-taking by shorts on
the break developed, causing fair
recovery, but the rallies were COM
paratively feeble. The market con-
tinued its heavy undertone and
closed weak with prices down ~

Corn followed the trend of wheat.
After starting Nc to 1ssc on. with

Shorts took profits on the break
in corn and forced a rally which
soon carried prices upward. The
market closed strong with final
quotations 1hc to 1ssc higher, with
May 65Ac to 675sc.
Oats were governed by the ac-

Provisions were dull and. easier

Objections to Second Street Under

Local Improvements.

Second street storm drain and
paving improvement objections
were ovesruled yesterday by the
Moline board of local improve
ments and estimates which will be
now submitted in ordinance form
to the city council were approved.
OF the s3s,14Q total. $1,000 will
be paid by the city. Property own
ers benefitting by the improve
ment will pay the balance.
The principal objection, which
was registered by NJ. J. EcEnirv,
is that the water in front OF his
property on West Second street
should run into the First street
storm drain. He said that costs
were now too high for public pro-
jects.
Mr.. McEniry also suggested that
instead of the special taxation pla,l
adopted by the board, "a special as
sessment system be used to pay the
costs. He declared the special as
sessment plan permits property
owners to fight unreasonable lev
les by offering the means of COM
pairing benefits to various proper.
ties.
Under the special assessment
plan levies are made according tt
comparative benefits to various
properties, and under the specia
taxation plan now used in Moline
the cost Of the improvement is lev
led against abutting property &C
cording to the frontage of the vari
GUS properties.
The pavement will be on Secont
street between Third and SIKH
avenues and on Sixth avenue be
tween First and Third streets.
The drain will run on Secont
street from Railroad to Sixth ave
nues and on Second avenue be
1 tween Second street and a poin
215 feet wst of Second street. Par
of the drain will be IS inches wild

ne on station at First street and

DWned by the Moline Oil company,
80 robbed last night Of $125 In
cash and . changer owned by the
manager Of the place valued at
t3.60.
This morning when A. H. Abra-
hanson, manager Of the station,
went to open the doors he discov-
4eed that three windows were open,
but q he made sure that all win
dowS Of the place were securely
locked before leaving last night,
the only solution to the mystery Is
that the robbers possessed q key
70 the door.
The lock on the door is an old
4 one, and has been In service under
several managers. and as yester-
day was an exceptionally profitable
day for the station, circumstances
would indicate that the crime was
committed by person or persons
fimiliar with the place.
This is. the third attempt to bur-
glarixe the place. The first was
some time ago when the lock on
the pump in the driveway was
T broken in and an attempt made tC
/ secure gasoline, but the mauraders
were frightened away and the at.
! tempt proved unsuccessful. The
other attempt was a short time agt
when two young men broke tn,
