TAFT ISJ0 ACCEPT Will Be Kent Professor at University of Yale.

WAN

(National News Association) WASHINGTON, Dec. 19 President Taft has made up his mind to accept the proffer of the Kent professorship of law at Yale, and probably will take up his duties at New Haven early in the spring. The President was said tonight to have determined upon accepting the Yale professorship for several reasons. He will not be restricted merely to lectures to Yale students, but will be permitted to lecturp, if he desires, in other law schools or upon the platform, or to engage in any other occupation which he sees fit. Recalls Cleveland Status. The analogy between the Yale professorship and Grover Cleveland's relation with Princeton appealed to Mr. Taft strongly, and when many of his close friends and advisers wrote to him approving his acceptance of the chair at Yale, he decided to take it. The President expects to spend several weeks after March 4, in Augusta, Ga., where he has passed two winter vacations.

T THE CITY TO

BUY PEACOCK LOTS Board of Works Members Oppose the Request of Improvement Club.

A committee representing the West Side Improvement association, appearing before the board of works today to induce city officials to buy lots adjoining the West Side park on Seventh street, were told to go down into their pockets and help pay for them if they wanted them, by B. A. Kennepohl. president of the board. "Why don't you raise enough money to justify the city to buy the lots if you want an addition. That is the way the members of the South Side Improvement association do when they want something from the city." The committee was composed of Will Robbins, Chas. Williams and L. S. Bowman, chairman. In behalf of the association, Mr. Bowman explained that the lots belonging to Levi Peacock, adjoining the west end of the park, were for sale and if the city did not purchase them they would be bought by some one else. Out houses and barns would be placed on the line of the park and the lots, he explained. This would not only make the park less desirable as a

place of amusement, but would also give only one entrance, that of Seventh street. The lots were offered to the city for $1,400. This a. considered too high by the city officials, as the ground only covers .S3 acre. The park lots are more valuable than the lots offered the city by Peacock and the members of the beard stated that they would not buy them at this price. Mr. Bowman said he had talked with Mr. Pt acock and he had agreed to have the lots appraised by a committee composed of a member of the board of works, a member of the West Richmond Improvement association and a man appointed by himstlf. Mr. Bowman said the lots could probably be purchased for $1.0V The officials think thev ought to be worth $vJ0 and

no more. City Attorney Gardner resented the speech of the president of the board and accused him of bucking the project. "These men are only fair and asking something reasonable and should not be answered by such a speech " Mayor Zimmerman was not present, and no action w as taken by the board in his absence.
