ATHLETIC STADIUM
IN EXTINCT CRATER
Island of Oahu Once Place
of Human Sacrifice.

Honolulu.-Punchbow the large ex-
tinct crater of one of the volcanoes
that formed the island of Oahu and
which once was used as hill of sac
rifce by the Hawaiian people, will be-
come one of the largest athletic sta
diums in the world If the plans of
Maj. William Hoopai, athletic officer
of the Hawaiian national guard, are
cOnsummated.
The stadium would be almost in the
center of the city and would have a
seating capacity of $1,000 persons, as
large as the present population of the
city. Prison laborers have started
clearing kiawe and other brush from
the sides of the crater and inside the
bowl. Improvements also have been
started to the one road leading to the
top Of the crater and efforts will be
made to obtain municipal cooperation
for the construction of another road.
Punchbowl Now Rifle Range.
Punchbowl, which towers 500 feet
above sea level, forms perfect am
phithedter, and, in the opinion OF
Major Hoopai. could be transformed
into a modern stadium at a small cost.

Coolidge Hears
Good Reports
Des MOines Editor Tells Pres.
ident Brookhart Will
Carry Iowa.

Wa Washington, Oct. 11.-Several opti-
mistic reports on the political situa-
tion were presented to President Cool
tdge today when he indulged in a
series of conferences with various
visitors.
For the second time in as many
DAYS Mr.. Coolidge was advised by a
farm leader to hold up for perhaps
q week or so the appointment of the
commission he has proposed to in
vestigate agriculture lest its work be-
come involved In politics.
o. f. Bradfute, president of the
farm bureau federation, expressed
this view today, at the same time
agreeing with Mr.. Coolidge that the
time is now appropriate for survey
of farm conditions. Farmers, be said,
generally were in a much improved
state, but he declared that this was
only comparative and there was much
which could yet be done to place the
industry soundly on it's feet.
The political situation in Iowa was
discussed with Harvey Ingham, Des
Moines editor, who declared the re-
publican national ticket, although af-
fected somewhat by the campaign OF

nee for the senate, would carry the

Girl Killed in

Was Attempting to Pull Dog
IJp Into Tree With
Rope.

Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.
Fremont. Neb., Oct. 10.-A desire
to have her pet dog climb tree
with her caused the death here this
afternoon of Jeannette Miller, .,
daughter of MIR. and Mrs. Frank
Miller.
Jeannette, with several play
mates, was playing about an old
tree which had been partly blown
down i'm recent storm. She
climbed to the branches of the tree
and then attempted to drag her pet
dog up with her. The dog was tied
TO the end of rope.
In her hand she carried n small
pairing knife, which she had been
using to cut away small branches.
The dog objected to climbing and
the child tugged at the rope. In
some manner Jeannette lost her
balance and plunged head first to
the ground. The knife twisted in
her hand and, standing point up,
struck her i'm the neck, seyering
the jugular vein.
Mrs. Miller, hearing the screams
Of the children, rushed from her
home just i'm time to see the child
fall. She picked up the limp little
form and carried it to the house.
When the doctor arrived he could
do nothing to save the child.
Mr.. Miller is employed by the
Union Pacific railroad and was
away from home. Efforts to reach
him during the evening failed.

After numerous requests from rep
resentatives of the National Butcher
Workmen association, urging packers
to dispense with their retail markets.
Armour closed Its retail shop Satur-
day.
c. S. Waterbury, general manager
OF Armour's, refused to discuss the
feeling between Omaha packers and
the butcher association. He said that
Armour's, in fairness to retail meat
shops, should not operate both whole
sale and retail departments.
I'VE received consent from the Chi
cago office" Waterbury stated.
The closing of the packer market
ia the result OF repeated efforts by
butcher representatives for the last
five years. The question has been
one of the leading issues at their ma
tional conventions during that time.
Other Plants May Follow.
Retail markets of other plants are
expected to follow Armour's course,
according to Ignatz Moskoviz, 3107
Nicholas street, president Of the
Omaha Butcher association. Inde-
pendent packers are also expected to
eliminate their retail trade, he said
~"Omaha retailers suffer a marked
loss of trade with the operation Of
the markets at the plants, and nu-
merous complaints from association
members requested this move" Mos
koviz stated
AT the national convention OF
butchers at Chicago last summer, 900
