WILSON 10 RECEIVE COMMILIEE
$50,000 GIFT MADE TO OGLETHORPE
b R by
Officers, directors and students of
Oglethorpe University were stunned
Thurs@iay night at the' conclusion of
an address by Harry P. Hermance.l
when he announced, without warn
ing: Mo
“Mrs. Hermance and I have found
a family who will <give $50,000 to
build an athletic ‘stadium and Greek
theater on the Oglethorpe cam-i
pus!” A '
Everyone there who knew Harry
Hermance and Mrs. Herma#nce knew
;hat “the family” were themselves
gnd no others, and they admitted it
» when pressed. .By a unanimous vote
the new stadium was christgned
“Hermance Field,” and before break-{
_ fast Friday, President Thornwelli
~ Jacobs and the students were out‘
choosing the location. ‘
“Thy announcement mme like
lightnipg from a - clear sky,” said‘
) President Jacobs Friday. *“Not a
soul that Iknow of had begn given
any intimation that Mr. and Mrs.
_ Hermance, though great friends of)
the university, had any idea of such
a gift—the largest gift for athletic
purposes in the history of the South,
I think.” 5 |
, Mr. and Mrs. Hermance have lived
in Atlanta only about three years,
but both of them have made a deep
impression upon the city’s public
life. .
Mfr. Hermance is manager of the
}Woolworth chain of stores ‘in the
South, and he brought with him
from the Pacific Coast not only the
vigor which made him at once a
leading figure in v’r work activities
and in public movements. He Was
chairman of several “drives” in the
war period and a never tiring worker
in the ranks of others.
Mrs. Hermance interested *herself
from the start in the public schools,
and especially in athletics and sports
for the boys and girls. She has been
particularly energetic in inspiring in
jerést in the annual field day' sports
of the grammar schools. -
,l HERMANCES GENEROUS.
/¥ The Hermances have given not only
their energies-to public movements,
but their financial support as well
They were among the most liberal
cont.rib\_xt&s to_the various funds and
heavy subscribers to all the Liberty
I.oan issues. Henry Hermance i 3
)know,fl and well liked by many thou
| Bands of Atlantans who have come
into contact with him, and despite the
fact that he came only recently to the
South, he has been considered “one
of us” from the day of hjs arrival
There was no doubt as to the loca
tion of the stadium given by the
Hermances to Oglethorpe, for the site
had long been under the eyes of fac
ulty and students—a natural amphi
theater, with hills on three sides and
the fourth side open to the highway,
and virgin forest on the surrounding
hillsides.
“While .the $50,000 gift will be suf
ficleAt to build a stadium to meet
Oglethorpe's immediate = needs, we
shall not stop there,” said Dr. Jacobs
¥riday. “We intend building it so it
| [can be enlarged as the need becomes
#vident, so that even the stadium at
Harvard or Yale will not outrank it.
We shall preserve the general archi
testural style of Oglethorpe by build
4inge the walls of rubble granite, but
the interior will be of concrete. There
will be a field for football and base
ball and ‘other sports, and an open
air theater for musical apd dramatic
productions.”
The announcement of the gift was
made by Mr.eHermance at the dinner
given at the university to the direc
tors@)the faculty and the parents of
the students, an annual autumn event.

WASHINGTON, Dec. s—~The coal
Vsfi-iko is gradually breaking, Judge
C. B. Ames, assistant attorney gen
eral, ‘today stated. He said reports
reaching the department of justice
indicate that the coal miners are
gradually returning to their weork.
(By&hmafioml News Service.)
WARHINGTON, Dec. .b~—Official
Washingten: awoke to a- full realiza
tion of the cocal crisis today, which
was emphasized by a slight chill that
hung over the gity. 1
Coal conservation has hit the na
tional capital. Street cars were not
fully heated. The bright lights had
Leen ordered cut off. Apartment
houses were minus the usual sizzling
radiators. z‘he government depart
nments still have plenty of.coal and
proved a haven. 2 ‘
Washington is not in the grip of a’
coal famine, but a shortage is 'in
prospect, . and real conservation is
bLringing the seriousncss of the sit
vation forcibly to the attention of of
ficials. .
The situation appears to rest wit}.l
the coarts in Indianapolis. The ac
tion taken by Federal Judge Ander
son in oraering a grand jury inves
tigsation and the contempt of court
proceedings against the leaders of the
mine workers are held out as the
only hope of clearing the atmosphere
sufficiently to secure a settlement.
The government will proceed,
through Attorney General Palmer,
with strict enforcement of the law, in
the hope that the miners will return
to work when they learn the gov
ernment is as determined to proceed
against operators as against miners.
Doctor Garfield was expected to
arrive here today and to take up the
next move for the conservation of
coal.
Reports reacned the fuel adminis
traticn of voluntary action in many
cities for the conservation of coal,
and it is understood Doctor Garfield
is in favor of allowing wide discre
tion to the local cominittees in the
matter of coal distribution.
Operators arny}wre in session. but
they declare tney are merely discuss
};ing tax problems and are not at
"tempting to reach any settlement of
the wage question.

ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1919.
# oy ¥ e # ;
Heads -of ' various hydro-electric
power coroporations from _ all the
Southeatsern States were gathéring
in Atlanta Friday for a conference
with the f ‘el committee of the South-’
ern -regiona)s railroad administration,
with a view to having the status of
each coroporation fixed in relation.to
fuel restrictions. ' | r
There are a_number of‘public
utilitiy and private hydro-electric
power - corporations ~whici - depend
upon water power, using no fuel, and
these will be'permitted: to operate
without restriction. 't will be neces
sary, however, for them to establish
this right by proving they operate no
auxiliary plants using coal or other
fuel. .
(.‘om'blaims and requests for Sspe
cial privileges seemed virtually to
have ended Friday, following the ex
planation es the regulations in detail
and the granting of permission to
keep business houses open after the
regulatio’i hours, provided neither
heat nor light produced by fuel is
used.
Many of*the specialty stores were
open Thursday after 4 c'clock, using
larrips or candles. Several were using
dry batteries and miniature lamps.
The Cable Piano Company had rigged
up an auxiliary electric light system,
using dozens of high pov.cred auto
mobile headlight bulbs and storage
Dbatteries from cars. The company
Ihad carefully assured itself that these
batteries were charged hy a company
using a gasoline engine for its
power plant and not from the wires
of the power company, so there could
be no complaint that fuel-power was
consumef,l
The department stores and other
houses in the Retail Merchants' As
sociation will not remain open after
4 o'clock, it was decided, except on
Saturday evening, when the regula
tions permit the use of light and heat
until 6:30 o'clock, for the purpose of
|B[~ o clothing and food only, Sales
vili we confined to those linesgit was
said,
Grocery stores will remain open
’Saturday night until 9 o’clock Under
the regulations giving them this ex
tra time on that night.
