LYON’S MEASURE j TO SELL MARINE HOSPITAL INDORSED House Committee and Treasury Secretary Favor Sale of Property to City The house committee on public build ings and grounds, yesterday reported favorably on Representative H. L. Lyon’s bill, authorizing the govern ment to sell the Marine hospital and grounds at Wilmington to the city government, according to press dis patches received last night. The treasury department has given its approval to the bill, and it is felt certain that the measure will be en acted, so that negotiations by Mayor James H. Cowan and Commissioners Joseph E. Thompson and R. C. Cantwell, fir. may be started soon. The treasury department recently had a representative in Wilmington, and he appraised the property at $30, 000, for the purpose of a park and play grounds. However, he made it plain that the value of the property for other purposes, would he sonsiderably in ex cess of this flfeure. There are about six blocks that would be available for playgrounds, in event the city government purchases the property from the federal government. Mayor Cowan explained last night that the Robert Strange playgrounds, comprising about two blocks, are leased by the city, but that there is a proviso in the lease, that the government may cancel this lease on 30 days notice. He said that this contingency caused the commissioners to he dubious, as to the advisability of installing perma ent playground facilities, but that, in event the city secures a deed to the land, the city government will equip the park with the very latest park de vices. If the city should buy the property it would eliminate any possibility of conflict between city and governmental authorities over the operation of the park. As it now stands, it is illegal for any admission fee to be charged to any football, baseball or other games played on the reservation, and the sports of the city have been handicap ped by this ruling, in that financial losses have been sustained by the team organizations through putronb failing to contribute sufficient money to defray expenses. “What’s Your Husband Doing?”, at Academy The Pickert stock company present ed at the Academy of Music last night and will continue throughout the week with a special matinee on Saturday, George V.

Leonard Gill, at Immanuel Presbyterian church continue to draw large audiences, the services last night being(the most largely attended and the *most successful of the series.^ The Rev. Mr. Gill preached a pow erful sermon, using as his text second Corinthians, 5-20 verses, “We are am bassadors for Christ.” He developed a theme out of this text regarding the dedication of life to Christ, and made a stirring appeal to church members to dedicate their lives to Christ. Many members of Immanual church and members of other churches came forward after the sermon and gave their hand to the Rev. D. T. Caldwell, the pastor, pledging that they would dedicate their lives to Christ. Several persons made confession of faith in the church for the first time. The meeting was the most successful that has been held in the church. An other meeting will be held tonight at 7:45 o’clock, and the Rev. Mr. Gill will preach. Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, in Im manual church, the Rev. Mr. Gill will preach a special sermon to women only and it is certain that theer will be a large audience to hear this message o-f the evangelist to the women of Wil mington. The sons' service, led by Andrew Burr, continues to be a big: feature, especially the singing of the young people. Coast Liners Defeat Infantrymen, 39-36 The City league games at the Young Men’s Christian Association seem to be getting faster and faster as the sea son opens up. The Atlantic Coast Line W. Ij. I. game last night furnished thrill after thrill as first one team and then the other would make a spurt and cage three or four much needed bas kets. At half time the field basket to tal was tied at 12 each, but the W. L. I. led, because they cashed In better on their free tries. In the second half the W. R. I. was not allowed to do much scoring, while their opponents made hay while the sun shone. The line up follows: A. C. L.—Westbrook, forward, Horne, forward; Gore, center; Holden, guard; Skipper, guard. W. L. I.—Geischen, forward; Brittain, forward; Furlong, center; Bremer, guard; Taylor, guard . PENSION FOR OLD TIME SLAVES LATEST Colonel Beasley Would Remem . ber Negroes Who Remained Loyal During |Var of ’61 RALEIGH, Jan. 11.—While Congress man C. M. Stewman, of the Fifth North Carolina district, an officer of the Con federate army, is asking congress to erect a monument on public ground in Washington to the memory of the "faithful colored mammies of the south,” another Civil war veteran is endeavoring to interest the general as sembly here in a measure providing a pension for slaves who followed their masters into the southern army and remained faithful to them. ColonelW. F. Beasley, of Plymouth,. Is the advocate of this plan. He told the Associated Press that about one hundred of these faithful former slaves remain alive in North Carolina and that the cost of a pension for them during the remainder of their lives would not be a heavy drain on the treasury. During the years in which the state has paid pensions to the white Con federate soldiers, contribution to this fund has been collected regularly by taxation from the negro citizens of the state, he said. The fact these tax payments have been met without com plaint, stated the veteran, is an addi tional reason fhy the state should pass the measure he has proposed. The bill would require the testimony of two fellow soldiers to corroborate the claim of service in the army to make it eligible. OFFER FOR DEMPSEY NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—An offer of 550,000 pounds sterling, about 5250,000. to meet Joe Becker in London.

Brigade Seniors Will Play Two Games Tonight TVhat promises to be two of the sea son’s best basketball exhibitions will be played by the Boys' Brigade seniors tonight when they lock horns at 8:15 o'clock. There is no admission to the games and a large crowd will doubt less turn out for the frav. The first scrap of the evening will be between the husky Giants and the fast Pirates. This game promises to be interesting from start to finish. Both teams are in good shape and a close game will no doubt result. The second game will be between the league leading Beds and the Braves, who are only one game behind. This exhibition should be one of the best seen at the Brigade in some time. Fans who witnessed the game between these two teams several weeks ago are eager to see them meet again tonight. This game is one of the most crucial of the series, for should the Reds win they will have a two game lead. However, the Braves are bent on winning, so they will tie for top, and the final re sult will perhaps remain In doubt un til the last minute.
