Though the field was swept by a gale
of dus.t which often blinded the con
testants, the meet was hurried through
and held the Interest of the spectators
till Its close. The first event, a five
Inning ball game between the fresh
men and the sophomores, resulted In
a victory for the freshmen, with the

sophomore b woro outclassed In bat
ting and fielding, though they showed
their experience and their knowledge
of the game by taking advantage of
overy little fluke on tho part of the
freshmen and turning every one of
them into scores. The high wind in
terfered with the fielding, and more
than once a well meaning outfielder
camped patiently under a ball which
fell gracefully to earth some two yards
to the right. However, though tho
wittily inclined spectators enjoyed
this sight exceedingly, and comment

CURRENCY ACT EXPLAINED
BY A LINCOLN BANKER
Doctor Hall Is Member of the Inaug-
-uratlon-CommiUee-of-r
Tenth District.
In a talk on the new Currency Act,
Dr. P. L. Hall of tho Central National
Bank of this city, said: "The act is
an innovation in banking and ono of
tho most elaborate pieces of legisla
tion enacted for a long time." Al
though the bill is a model piece of
legislation, the bankers of the coun
try had very little hand In Its con
struction. Many of the prominent
bankers in the United States differ in
their interpretation of the bill, mainly
because of the different conditions In
tho various parts of the country.
Tho-Jnost Jmporiani Jfeature of the
talk was the emphasis placed on the
fact that acceptance paper must and
will, in all probability, be built up
under the new act. The packer's
paper, which haB heretofore been used
as a second reserve, Is six-months'
paper and of almost too long a time
to bo conveniently handled. Another
important step Is the fact that na
tional banks will bo able to act as ad
ministrators and handle receiverships.
Mnnv bankers fear that the federal
reserve banks will be dangerous com
petition, whenjbhoy should be more of
an aid and a guidance to tho other
banks. Tho federal reserve banks
will pay no Interest on deposits, but
will make their money on tho loans
they will be able to make to tho bor
rowing banks.
"The statement that New York
helps move the crops, of the West will
not bear much -weight," said the
.speaker. Deposits pile up In tho
Western banks from Juno to Septem
ber and dwindle very fast during crop
moving time if there has been a fa
vorable yield.
Several questions asked by tho stu
dents were answered by tho speaker.
the library, art galleries, museums,
and offices has been authorized by

"Tho commission," said the spoakor,

by any court of tho United Statos, ex

In most of the states of tho union

Many people throughout tho stato

that the commission is an oxponso of

This order, which Is based on tho
