port September 15.
Baltimore. Feb. 10.—Transformed
into a sumptous seethe-world-es-you
elUfly college for boys, the former
army transport l.ogan will set sail
next September 16. if the plans of
Asa Candler, jr., of Atlanta, Ga., son
of the multimillionaire beverage man
ufacturer, are realized. The ship will
have accommodation* for 400 pupils,
a large faculty, managers and clerks
of the various departments. Mr.
Candler said yesterday that the school
is not a philanthropic foundation. It
ie a purely business proposition, he
said and only men of means can af
ford to send their sons through such
a course.
"My own Km,'' Mr. Candler said,
and the son of my brother Howard,
will go on thcs first cruise. This ex- J
presses my confidence in the scheme.
"The view I take is this,” Mr.
Candler continued, "there are many
poor boys who attend schools and
buckle down to their work-in earnest

who have their cars and their clubs
»nd find too much to do other than to
study. If the rich men's sons are sent
to my school they will enjoy them

see that they must concentrate on
their studies."
Young boys will not be accepted by
t he schqoi. it was stated. Those who

by Coast Astronomer; Light Remains in Sky for
Period of Half an Hour, Appearing
to Drift Slowly.

Prof. H. A. Richardson, a local
astronomer, said it probably was the j
tall of a meteor, lie could not de
termine whether the light faded
because of the Intervening of clouds
or whether the object itself dlsap
peared.
Riverside, Cal., Feb. i!U.—Many
residents of Riverside and adjacent
territory specualtcd today over a
bright rod light visible in the south
erly heavens from about 8:30 until 0

half an hour,’’ and that It resembled
a small section of the Milky way, ex
cept that It was red.
Telephone inquiries from as far as
Corona, 15 miles south of Riverside,
were received.
