POLLARD TALKS OF REMOYAL
Appeals to Nebraskans Not to Change
Location of University.
SAYS COST WOULD BE TOO GREAT
Atlrocatea of Keeping; Institution
Where It In Adopt Kerr Line
or Argument to Support
Contention.
(From a Staff Corresrjondnt A
LINCOLN, May 24.-(Speclal.)-ln a
laborious article covering several columns
In local capers B. M. Pnllurit. hn v..
taken upon himself the task of creating
a demand; that the state university should
not be moved to the state farm.
It can expand without any' danger of
bumping up against some of the old
dllapltated buildings which seem to have
become sacred In tjio memory of past
graouateg. appeals to the people of the
state hot to mote the Institution because
Of the cost and tries to make nut th
the special levy xvlll not be sufficient tn
cover thO proposition of removal If the
lople make up their minds to vote that
way.
Strangely, the Lincoln paper which has
been asserting so strongly that the Inatl
tutlon should stay down town where the
smoke of the railroad yards and the
rumbio of moving trains near by disturb
the students, speaking of the policy of
Mr. Pollard says: "The best way to win
adequate support for the unlversitv I to
avoid every suggestion of a waste of
lunas."
Outline of Front.
This Is a direct change of front from
that heretofore advocated by Lincoln In
terests which have opposed removal to
the farm. During the session of the leg
islature advocates of the downtown
campus used column upon, column of
newepaper spacqNand spent many dollars
In preparing and publishing plans and
specifications tu show that it would cost
more In their minds to move the
university to the farm than It
would to keep It where it Is. Just
Why this sudden chanire of tnetl:'
J Terhaps they have discovered that the
I old fake argument about "loss to the
state because of abandonment of the
present buildings" docs not pan out when
the real facts are known. It Is pretty
hard, work to convlnco the average Ne
braskan that $733,431 now In buildings
and the iSil.SM plat of ground on which
they stand is going to be a total loss to
the state If the university is moved to
me laiiii. inis js wnere me anti-removal-
rf l&ts have been lame In their arguments,
a They have been trying to convince the
H puhllc thut this amount Invested will be
loss to the state.
Report of Keifenta.
The annual report of the university
regents places the estlmatedvalue of the
grounds alone at $221,800. Situated within
three blocks of Lincoln's very busiest cen
ter, it is not possible that the state would
be unable to dispose of this land. With
the, buildings now on It it will be worth
at least half of the valuo of the buildings
more, so it is plain to be seen that the
old argument cannot be made to work.
hence the change of front by the Lincoln
newspaper.

Investigator Finds
Cherry County Jail
Hardly Fit for Brutes
(From x Staff Correspondent )
LINCOLN, Neb., May 24.-(Seclin-
Accordlng to Secretary hahan of th
state Board of Charities and Correction',
the Cherry county Jail is hardly a fit
place for animals let alone humans. Tho
secretary visited the Jails of Cherry,
Brown, Rock and Holt counties. Neither
of these counties have poor farms and
the 'Jails are not modern, except that ol
Holt.
In speaklrig of the Cherry county Jail,
Secretary Shahan says: "I consider this
jail as one of the very poorest class. It
is a disgrace to Cherry county and many
citizens there agree with me." He doc
not blame the sheriff for conditions.
The Brown county Jail, like that o(
Cherry county, Is In a frame building,
used both as a Jail and a residence tor
tfie sheriff, but, however. Is kept In good
shape and has electric lights and fairly
good ventilation.
The Rock county Jail Is also a fratno
affair and the cage Is one which went
through the fire at tHe time the Br wn
county court house was burned a few
years ago and Is badly warped. In order
to keep prisoners In I fa guard has to bo
hired at $4 a day to guard the place.
The Holt county Jail Is the best of any
of the counties visited, being built jt
cement and has a padded cell for lnsar.o
prisoners, though there Is no separate
cell for female prisoners.
