there was much commentator OF the
university and of President Upham.
The feeling towards the university
Mr.. Hagan believes, was reflected in
the appropriations that were finally
secured for it's many activities. While
the amount received for general main
tenance and operation was not all
that was asked by the university and
the board Of education, nevertheless
the per cent of increase to be received
over the amount had during the past
bfennium is considerably larger than
for any of the other state institu-
tions.
In addition to the general mainten-
ance appropriation, the university will
receive an appropriation for the sub
stations located at Felt Aberdeen,
Caldwell, and Standpoint, for pure
seed work, and for the bureau of
mines and geology. The three-eighths
mill levy bill finally passed both
houses, and Mr.. Hagan is very con-
fident that Governor Moore will sign
it, as he is convinced that the uni
,versity must have a new building if
it is to be permitted to grow and de-
velop. Whether this money can be

NOTED PUBLISHER
Will SPEAK HERE
VIM. L. ELLSWORTH OF CENTURY
PUBLISHING co. BEING BROUGHT
HERE BY u. OF l. DEPARTMENTS

Beginning with talk before the
English club tomorrow afternoon
William Webster Ellsworth, for 81
years connected with the Century
Publishing company, will give series
of three subjects to University of Ida
no students and Moscow people Mr..
Ellsworth is a national figure, an ex-
ceIlent speaker, and an interesting
person. During his long period of
service with the Century company he
came to know many interesting people
and his lectures will bristle with
stories about them, with background
of information in regard to books
worth talking about.
Mr.. Ellsworth is being brought to
the university at a very great ex-
pense to the institution, the English
club and the modern languages de-
partment cooperating.
The talks which he will give here
are perhaps his best and have re-
ceived the most favorable comment on
his many lecture tours. On recent
tour of the west he lectured at STAN
ford, Willamette, Washington State
college and Whitman college, and
each institution was delighted with
his messages.
"The Writing Game"
His schedule will start with g The
Writing Came" which will be given
before the English club Tuesday after
noon. The same evening he will give
his illustrated lecture on Moliere
and his Times" under the auspices of
the modern language department, and
Wednesday morning he will appear
before the regular assembly with 1.-The
JOY of Writing" The general public
is invited to attend the assembly talk
and the illustrated lecture on Moliere,
who perhaps next to Shakespeare is
the greatest of all playwrights, which
will be given tomorrow evening at
7:45 o'clock. The talk on The Writ
ing Came" will primarily be intended
for students interested in writing and
Mr. Ellsworth will talk on the results
Of a lifetime experience. He will dis
cuss such questions as: What do
colleges do for the writer? What
does for authorship, and
the surprising number of American
authors who have begun with news
paper work.
During the 81 years that Mr.. ELS
worth was a part of The Century COM
oany our really national literature
vas developed, and The Century COM
pany was most intimately connected
With this growth. Nearly all the great
nen and women best known to the
literary world in this period were Mr. |
Ellsworth's personal friends. To peo-
lie who care for books and reading, |
he lectures will be a rare treat.
Recently Retires as President.
Mr.. Ellsworth just recently retired |
S president of the Century Publish
ng company, which position he held |
or many years, and where he became
acquainted with the liter
sry field of American. The depart
nents under whose auspices Mr. Ellis
vorth will appear, feel very fortunate
n being able to obtain him at this
ime. and all those interested are
rged to take the opportunity of hear
ng him.

Iowa Lawmakers
to Meet Tuesday
to Revise Laws
Members Doubt if General
Legislative Program Can
Be Restricted at Spe-
cial Session.

Des Moines, Dec. 2.-One state SEN
ator appeared in a downtown hotel
lobby Saturday for a senate caucus
which failed to convene because no
body but him came to attend it. And
If the caucus had been held, 1t would
have been about the only outward
sign that the Iowa legislature is pre-
pairing to convene Tuesday in special
session to revise the Iowa code.
The joint committee Of both houses
on patronage met this afternoon to
settle two or three minor positions
in the staff of legislative aids, but
even their activities were negligible
because practically all the officers of
the senate and house will be back at
their places without special election.
holding over from the organization
meeting Of the extra session which
followed the adjournment Of the regu.
lar session April Is.
The retrenchment and reform COM
mittee of the legislature will meet
Monday morning. Legislators who
began to arrive on evening trains
seemed agreed that to restrict general
legislation at the code revision ses-
sion will be next to impossible for
the reason that at a code revision
session where all manner of legisla-
ton is being considered it will be hard
to draw the line between proposed
code changes which are within the
limits of any rule barring general
legislation, and pet laws which any
member of either house may be ach.
ing to introduce.
A number Of the. lawmakers
thought the most graceful way out
of the predicament would be not to
make any rule against general legis-
latlon. Others believe that such a
rule ought to be passed. but admit the
difficulty OF making it effective.
Most of the legislators will reach
the city tomorrow and Monday, to
pitch into the work of code revision
when President Hammill of the SEN
ate and Speaker Joe Anderson of the
house bring down their gavels Tues
day morning.

Is Solved
Bones of Child Found in
Pennsylvania Are Identified
by Father as Those of
Jimmy Glass.
Search Was World Wide

Scranton, Pa. Dec. 2-The eight
year-old mystery Of little Jimmy
Glass disappearance was finally and
definitely cleared up today, when the
bones found under a brush pile near
Greeley by Otto Winkler were identi-
fled by Charles Glass, the boys faith
er.
Jimmy was wearing overalls and a
pair of Coward" shoes on that spring
morning in 1915, when he ran out
of the house to play. And among the
grim effects that had withstood the
long siege of the elements were two
brass snap fasteners and part of a
shoe sole on which the word Cow
ard" was family discernible.
Identified by Father.
Mr.. Glass. who came from Jersey
City. his home. after being notified
of the find, considered the evidence
complete. 1t was for him the windup
of a ceaseless waiting and eeaseless
searching over all parts of the world.
For since his sons disappearance, Mr..
Glass has followed clues to South
America and to Europe.
1t Is now assumed that the lad.
who was then only 4. got lost in
the woods and after wandering around
for hours, succumbed to fright and
exhaustion.
Otto Winkler. the farmer. was hunt
ing near Greeley, when he made his
tragic find. He kicked hard object
and looking down, found 1t to be the
skull of a child. Searching a little
further he found two tiny rotting
shoes with the feet bones Of a child
in them. He Immediately marked the
spot and carried his news to Greeley.
Search World Wide.
The citizens of that town, knowing
that the Glass family were spending
the spring In Greeley that year and
that little Jimmy was the only child
who had ever been reported missing
in that region, Immediately came to
the conclusion that It was he. Word
was sent to the father in Jersey City.
and upon his arrival this morning. a
large crowd from the town followed
Winkler and Glass to the spot.
A further search resulted in the
find of other bones of the skeleton.
They were placed in sack and turn
ed over to the coroner. The father.
visibly affected. went back to Greeley
and made arrangements for the trans
portation of the bones to Jersey City.
where they will be inferred.
Following Jimmy's disappearance In
1915. 1t was thought for a time that
he might have been captured by a
band Of gypses. But this theory was
abandoned after a child. who had been
living with a gypsy band near Greeley
was found to be someone else.
