BOSTON UNIVERSITY POST | DECLINED BY DR. HARPER Denver Educator, Offered Presi- dency of Eastern School, Needed in West, He Says. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, September 24.—Dr. He- ber R. Harper, chancellor of the University of Denver, has declined 1he offer of the presidency of Boston University. Bishop William F. Ander- son of Boston, acting head of the university, expressed his disappdint- ment at Dr. Harper's decision. Bishop Anderson, who had con- ferred with Dr. Harper here yester- day, gave out a paragraph of Dr. Harper's response to his offer, as fol- lows: “Your call, brought in such a com- pelling manner, has- made me face anew every aspect of my task here in Denver. Only such a call could have brought so fully to my attention the claim of my work and of my as- soclates. It is now quite apparent that many new friends have not been securely won to the Institution and the cause I now represent. The stanchest and oldest supporters ot the university are emphatic in their statement that for me to leave the University of Denver now would seri. ously jeopardize its present and future program. 1 am, therefore, convinced that I ought not to leave the work 1 have begun here.” Bishop Anderson, in a brief state- ment, said: “I am deeply disappointed in Dr. Harper's decision, but when a man plants himself upon a consclentious conviction as Dr. Harper has done, it is the end of all argument. Dr. Harper had reached his conclusion shortly before arriving in Chicago.” PETITION FOR REHEARING.

HAMILTON, Bermuda, September .—"No motor cars, no railways, no tramcars, no smoke and soot,” for a long time has been the slogan of Ber- muda in catering to tourists. It seems apparent, however, that during the next two months the tram- car part of the slogan must be elimi- nated, for it appears certain that a light rallway, running from one end of the island to the other, will be in operation within the next year. Robert W. Cummings of Pittsburgh, Pa., has secured the necessary per- mission to build the line, and construc- tion may be begun in the next few months. Recently there has been consider- able agitation in favor of motor busses and some few persons have advocated 24 the unrestricted use of motor cars. It is not believed, however, that legisla- tion permitting busses can be passed, and it is almost certain that the un- restricted use of motor will be permitted. Teachers’ College Rolls Large.

BALTIMORE, September 24.—Pro- posals to build a 300-foot wide park- way from Baltimore to Washington, as suggested before the Rotary Club by Col. C. O. Sherrill, are preposter- ous”from a road engineering stand- point, according to John N. Mackall, c;mlrmln of the State Roads Cammis- sion. Such a road would cost approxi- mately $12,500,000 for construction he cost of securing nec- essary rights of way in Baltimore and along the highway to the District line would be about $3,500,000, Mr. Mackall declared. “As a park proposition, with the needed funds secured by popular sub- scription, the proposed’ road would be a fine idea,” Mr. Mackall sald. “However, there is no need of such a road at present, nor will there be such a need for years to come. From | the standpoint of renderirg adequate transportaticn, the proposal is fanciful in the extreme. The result B to tie up milllons in a road which could not be utilized o 4 transportation possibilities for vears | to come.” {Owiners of other makes! trade quichly for | Studebaker Power Durability finish e e e e e O R U IR O i o Ll T il e Vi S mataianbd St sl —Slolc——=lol——2lolc—=o|——[o[c——[o[c———[olc—=[c———i[c—— o[ ne———n —o———u Fifth Day of the Big Sale Burgundy. + bilip 608 to 614 High-grade Absolutely correct in model—in silks of rich quality and so reduced in price to make this the big feature of the Sale—at shore ELEVENTH S7. and going "Strong™ The Inexpensive Dress Department - JALEsr oF ProGRESS Offer a tremendously important Special in Women’s and Misses’ Sizes " Second Floor.
