II the label on your paper doesn't

to furnish a weekly newspaper for

New York, Dec. 17.--A nine-year fight between the Morgan and Astor families over the erection of a busi- ness building on the Astor block be- tween Thirty-ffth and Thirty-sixth street fronting on Madison avenue, opposite the J. Pierpont Morgan mansion, was ended when J. P, Nor gan agreed to put no further ob- stacles in the way of the improve ment. More than s1o0,000 Is said to have been spent by Mir. Morgan and other residents Of the Murray Hill section In their efforts to block the improvement, which was first proposed by the late Baron Astor. As q result of the agreement, the prop erty was sold today by the heirs of the late Baron to Robert M Cats of New York. MT. Catts will begin next May the erection of 25-story bust- ness building 10 cost sl1,000,000. In an effort to retain the residential ap- pearance of the district the struc- ture will have a facade resembling that of a club or hotel.

COLLEGE LEADERS
 FEAR ATHLETICS
Oppose Sport That Seeks to
 Promote Professionalism
By The Associated Press,

By The Associated Press.
 Ann Arbor, Mich, Dec. 17.-Coi- lege sport that seeks to elevate It. self to competition with professional baseball and puglllstic contests must go." Dr. R. c. Angell advised the president and deans of the Uni- verslty of Michigan today in . re- port on student conditions that stressed the athletic side of univer- sity life.
 To eradicate the present condition, he reported. one institution. acting alone, is powerless. He suggested . meeting of representatives of all universities of the Western Confer ence might be called to agree upon 0 plan of E-.ion.
 'Tt goes without saying" the re- port asserted, that q conference called to better existing conditions would go on record as opposing any enlargement of plant designed te accommodate more spectators. 10 seems no more than just for a uni- versity to pay those who are en- gagged primarily to train the body no more than those who are en- gagged to train the mind. Present enormous salaries are due to com- petition between schools in develop ing championship teams, and as . seat of learning and culture Michi- gan has only interest in winning athletic titles"
 AS one method of eliminating from college those who have no academic interest, he suggested that "a sin- cere attempt by the Michigan alumnus to prevent alumni from sending athletically capable but in- tellectually apathetic men to college would help to purify the academic atmosphere"
 Dr. Angel held no brief for the "book worm" the idea that the good student Ifs an individual with thick glasses and no interest in anything but lessons does much to exalt the athletic hero, who is regarded as more of an all round man," the re- port said.
 Remedy for the condition, he said existed, was not abolition of univer- sity sports, Dr. Angell declared hold ing that this was "too radical . step"
 "The better plan" the report added, appears to be to undertake . gradual lessening of emphasis on athletics"

HOLT WON OUT IN
 WASHINGTON DIST. Votes in Other Places Pull
 Bingham Through 5SS PEOPLE CAST BALLOTS
Grange Enterains Members, And
 Familics--Niotherhood Club Party This Afternoon - Reasscssment
 Committee Will Meet Friday Eve.

Berlin gave Hiram Bingham, fe- publican candidate for senator, to- tai of 381 votes, against the 2O2 votes cast for Hamilton Holt. Mar lin F.splunkett, the socialist candi- date for senator, received three votes in the entire town. About 39 per cent of the voting strength of the town cast it's ballot.
 A total of 53S people poled their ballots yesterday, the voting strength of the town being l,a5S. Voting was slow during the entire day and in the afternoon, attendants at the voting places found time ly- ing. heavy on their hands. Several of them commandecTod magazines and spent the last half of the day busily engrossed in stories, Others resorted to the popular crossword. In the morning voting was not rapid and it was some time after the poll ing places opened that the first vot- CTS appeared.
 The vote by districts was: Berlin, first dist rict Bingham, 1S2; Holt, 91; kcnsingt on, second district,' Bing- ham, 139: Holt 146; East Berlin, third district, Bingham, 60; Holt, 35; Plunkett, 3,
 The total voting strength of the town is 1868 and the number of persons voting yesterday was 5SS. Few ballots were discarded because they were improperly marked.
 An unusual occurrence was the support given Holt by Kensington, where the democratic candidate won out by seven votes. This was the first time for such thing to happen since John A. Moore defeated Charles F. Lewis for tax collector in that district, although the number of republicans votes in other parts of the town was at that time, enough 10 pull MT. Lewis through.
 Party heads considered that Der lin made a good showing with re- gard to the number of voters who turned out. Several cars were kept busy bringing people from outlying districts to the polls The resulting poll Of votes was even better than was expected.
 Reassessment Committee
 The Berlin committee, appointed to consider the advisa bllity of reas- scssing property in town, will meet Friday evening at & o'clock in tho office of the town clerk. It is ex- pected that a representative Of an appraisal company will be present in order to explain matters in re- gard to the rsvaluation of property.
 So far, no opinions on the matter have been ventured by members Of the committee. They are seeking information, they say. and until they are able to talk on the subject with all the data in front of them. they do not care to say whether the reassessmeht plan would be benefi- cial or detrimental to the town at large.
 Public meetings, where citizens of the town may venture their opinions and may ask questions, are a likell- hood In the future. it wns learned today. Just when such meetings will be held, is not known. but no ses- sions of this kind will take place un-

IF WOMAN WEDs, DOES
 HER JOB FOLLOW FOR
 BETTER OR FOR WORSE?

OLYMPIA, Feb. 16.-There's an Eastern Washington woman who pro poses to do all the swearing that is done in her family.
 She was a notary public before she was welded a few days ago. She still wishes to be notary, but
 The old commission, the old seal and the old title do not fit new condi tions. So she wrote letter to Sec. retary of State J. Grant Hinkle enclos ing her marriage certificate, and ask, ing him to reissue her notarial com mission; using her new name as he found it on the marriage certificate.
 Secretary Hinkle frankly admits he does not know how marriage affects a notary public; that is a spinster notary public There does not seem to be either law or precedent to gov ern the situation.
 And that brings up other interest ing questions. Suppose some other la dy newly elected to or actually induct ed into office should wed ad change her name. Does the job follow for better or worse? If a memberelect of the legislature say,were a miss or a widowed lady when elected, but a Mrs. Somebody Else when she appear ed to be sworn in, what would j.. Grant Hinkle do then.
 The secretary of state will need le- gal advice.

SELECT THE BEST MEN

Ability to read the weather, use a single jack, or tell good story does not always prove that man is com petent to represent community in the Territorial legislature It scarce ly gives him the correct insight as to the merits of the fisheries reserves, the Pioneer pension bill, the tax on natural resources, etc. It does not even enable him to judge rationally the needs of his own community-the question of schools, parks, play grounds, sewerage community build ing and the rate of taxation whether the fire department and schools are competent or incompetent.
 A man may on the other hand be able to read and write fourteen languages and still be civic incompetent. His ignorance about his own locality and it's needs may be so appalling as to be positive menace to his holding office The Territory's development depends upon the selection of the best possible men to represent the people at Juneau. The man who is open to conviction, who will obey the wishes of the people who elected him, and who is free of the taint of graft and petty quarrels, is generally a safe man to vote for.
