; BIG TEN MEET DOPE VARIES ■ Chicago. May 20. — (U.R) — The I struggle for first place in the Big I Ten outdoor track and field champ- ! I ionships at Evanston Friday and Saturday Is expected to be considerably closer than lust year. The first five teams last year flniished as follows: 1 Michigan, 51 points. ' 2. Illinois, 44 % points. I 3. Wisconsin, 33 points. 4. Ohio Mate, 31 '.j points. 5. —lowa, 24 points. l Speculation over the outcome re- • veals that the winner's total this ■ year isn't likely to reach 50 points, r and that the first three teams might rI be bunched within 10 or 12 points 1 [of each other. The result in one or two events -'might be enough to ruin the s'chances of the favored Michigan - learn'. If Dale Letts, Chicago mid- • die distance star, should enter the 1410-yard dash, Michigan's chances ,I of winning that meet would be re--1 duced. Letts, who holds the con-' I ference mile record, wants to Set ‘ a record in the half mile. If con- • Editions are good he will run the 1880 only, but if the track is not - conducive to record-breaking time, : Letts probably will run both the I 440 and 880. Letts would be a big - favorite to win the 440 if he enter1 ed that event. Ed Russell of Mich-. I igan, who was second in the quart- • er mile last year, would he favored to win that event if Letts was out 1! of it. - CANNING PLANT NOT TO LOCATE ' (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) were ready today to ask for a surety bond guaranteeing that farmers would be paid for the tomatoes, in case the factory located here. The telegram received today by A. R. Ashbaucher, president of the local Chamber of Commerce, however, will close the negotiations, it was stated. o Claims Champion Lilac ABERDEEN, Wash.

They are imported Italian bees and it' : [they start on the fruit trees plants and grapes there will not lie anyhing left". it was a matter hard for the council to decide. They feared touching it because there might be a sting to it. They wanted to approach the matter with gloves on and a motion was made that the onslought of the bees, leaving devastation and agony in their path be referred to the Judiciary committee on which George Appleman, is chairman, the City attorney and Dr. J. M. Miller, secretary of the city tioard of health Mr. Appleman was not at the meetg and could not object. He and his committee are now in charge of the bee war and the matter will require diplomacy to settle. Members of the delegation emphatically stated that they did not i hold any ill feeling against the I owner of the bees but that they j wanted relief from the honey mak-1 era. They stated that the bees invad-1 ed their homes at every opportunity and that children could not play outside for fear of being stung. The delegation was good-natured about it, had a good laugh over the

matter and left It up to the council to decide away to train the bees to stay at home. Among those who appeared before the council were Mr. and Mrs. Walter Bean Milton Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Belneke. 0 Dentists Name Officers Indianapolis, May 20.—4U.R>—Dr. W. L.
