drop the senate investigation Of charg-
es by Senator Watson, Democrat,
Georgia, that American soldiers were
hanged without trials, WAS reached
between Senator Watson and Demo-
cratic leaders.

present his evidence to the senate
rather than to the special committee,
headed by Senator Brandegee, Repub-
Iican. Connecticut, which was appoint
ed Tuesday. Senator Brandegee and
others were said to be agreeable to
this course, which would allow Wat
son TO proceed with his case in the
open senate.
Announcement by Democratic lead
ers of the reported agreement to dis
charge the special committee and drop
the inquiry was followed later by
statements from Republican leaders
that they had not consented to such
course. Some of those on the Re
publican side said they would oppose
dissolving the committee.
One of the kilograms he offered,
Senator Watson said, was from for
mer major in the army, and said he
could assist in substantiating the
charges" Another. from Il resident
of Philadelphia, offered to give two
photographs similar to that presented
recently by Senator Watson, as show
ing gallows. The Philadelphtan,
whose name was not made public by
the Georgia Senator. said he saw one
hanging on the N1euse. of a negro in
uniform, and could supply positive
proof of the hanging. The CORES
pondent did not say whether the
hanging was after a court-martial or
not.

Cincinnati II. to Build
Stadium to Seat $4,000
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press;
CINCINNATI, o., July 16. - Stu
dents and alumni Of the University
this autumn will engage in a drive
for $4,000 TO build the first three
sections of a new stadium at Car
son Field. Originally it was the plan
to erect the stadium complete at an
estimated cost of S125,00O but the
university board Of trustees author
lied only the initial units.
When these are completed, prob
ably by the opening Of the football
season, the field will seat 5000.
Twenty other sections are to be
built from time 70 time as athletics
develop at the municipal university,
ultimately bringing the seating ca
pacity to $1,000.
Probably no stadium in the coun-
try will have a more picturesque set
ting than Cincinnati's. Designed in
the shape Of a horse shoe, the open
end at the nSrth viii give a wide
sweep of country. while the east and
west TANKS will be built on rather
steep hillsides. This natural advant-
age will substantially cut the cost OF
construction. The stadium will be
of concrete with ornamental en-
frances.
