First street, affecting the first arrests 1
as a result of the new ordinance. j
This mnrninir two complaints sign-
ed by Chief of Police Griff King,
were filed in the police court against
the prisoners, charging them with vio
lation of section 1 of ordinance 664,
declaring it unlawful for any person
to carry or haul any intoxicating liq
uor through the streets except in
packages in which the liquor is ship
ped into the city. A penalty tor vio
lation is a fine of $10 to $100 or a
jail sentence of 5 to 50 days.
Upon being arraigned in police
court this morning before Judge Van

pleaded guilty to the charge. After re

ulation hose, one 60-gallon chemical
tank with 200 feet of chemical hose,

carrying a 65-foot extension ladder,
one of 30 feet, one of 24 feet and one
20 feet, and others of shorter length,
350 feet of hose and alt small neces

tus, thc new emupment was secured.
A long list of races, for substantial
prizes of cash, a ban (pie t. drills and
ball have been arranged for the La

GOOD YEAR FOR
ALBANY COLLEGE
The Indications Are Bright for
Splendid Season for Local
Institution.
TWO FUTURE TRUSTEES
ARE OPTIMISTIC
Endowment Success and Fav
orable Outlook for Large
Enrollment of Students.
That indications are bright for a
splendid season for Albany College,
the coming winter, is indicated by the
optimistic attitude of the trustees, the
endowment success and the lavorable
outlook for a big enrollment of stu
dents. The trustees of Albany College arc
very optimiMie as to the future of the
institution. During the last year an
endowment fund of $250,000 has been
secured, of the income of which the
college will be enjoying during the
year lUKi-14.
The management of the college has
large plans for tjie upbuilding of the
institution. The present campus of
seven acres which is located within
the city limits of Albany is now on
the market and the new campus of
forty-ieight acres has been secured.
It is hoped that new buildings will
be erected on this newly purchased
tract ready for occupation in Sep
tember, PJ14.
The new buildings are to be of the
early colonial type. This style of ar
chitecture has been employed by the
I University of Virginia, one of the
! mo-it beautiful college plants in
; in America, The material will be red
brick with white trimmings, ( )regon
materials probably to be used exclu-
sivly.
; placed, Albany College also contains
icademy ami a conservatory of
music. The conservatory of music
does especially fine work. While
many institutions' arc doing away
with the academies or subordinating
them completely, Albany College is
for the present giving the greatest
possible attention to the young peo
ple of academic years.
In the student activities the record
of Albany College has been excellent.
The institution plans to re-enter the
football arena in the fall, .and will un
doubtedly make a record that will re
call the days when the state chain-,
piouship flag was u rested from the
larger institutions of the state.
