WANT TO WE ham a mm, fi i : o NEW YORK CLUB OP WOMEN : FRAMING A BILL FOR CONGRESS. COYER RECENT DISCLOSURES Made in Regard to Fractice In American Colleges Some Suggest Better Home Training. New York, Feb. 4. Women of the Minerva Club are working to have Lazing abolished in colleges. They have obtained endorsements from the presidents of almost all the prominent universities in the country and are now framing a bill, making hazing a crime. They hope to have it introduced in Congress at this session. While . approving; the movement and giving their signatures to the dub's resolution, several university heads suggested that the surest way c.f eliminating brutality from college life is to have gentleness by mothers in the home., From Dr. Arthur T. Hadley, president of Yale, this letter of indorsement was received by Mrs. William Brewster Miller, corresponding secretary of the club: v "We are" very glad to say that physical cruelty in the form of hazing has been long ago abolished at Yale, by the voluntary action of the students themselves. And in these circumstances it :t seems hardly necessary to pass any vote in the matter, since the passing of a vote to condemn these practices might be construed as indicating that such practices prevailed here. "In regard to athletics, we have always taken a good deal of care of our men and have been singularly free from serious acidents. The dangers and abuses, however, which have existed in other institutions make us ready to co-operate in all

x intelligent movements for athletic reforms." That the checking of hazing lies with the parents of the students is the opinion given in a letter from William F. Pierce, president of Ken;yon College, Gambier, Ohio, the institution attended by Stuart Pierson, who was killed by a train. I was said he was tied to the tracks by students. Mr. Pierce said : ) . "The proper remedy lies not in an appeal to college faculties to forbid such practices, for prohibition is often merely a negative and external matter, but in an appeal to the mothers of the land to inculcate humane and gentlemanly principles, which Khali act as our inward and compelling law upon young men in our institutions.,' If parents are unable to bring up their sons to a proper horror of cruelty, brutality and tyranny,' they can hardly hope that college faculties will find it possible .to transform the sons, grown almost to' manhood. "If the resolutions have any connection with the death of Stuart Pierson, at Kenyon, allow me to say that that unhappy accident, had nothing whatever to do with cruel practices or with any form of hazing." ' E. D. Warfield, president of Lafayette College, of Easton, Pa., says: " All such practices are less the fault of the institutions and governing bodies than the homes -from which our students come. The decay of homelife.and want of early inculcations in our boys of those gelitler principles of Christianity best taught by, mothers is a saddening circumstance. ' The greatest obstacle I met with was n want of support -"both from the parents of those who came under discipline and of the other students in college. , J " From Dr. liutler, of Columbia, a letter of thanks was received, and also his opinion on hazing recently giv-r en to the student body.. Only one college president admitted that hazing was carried on with the consent of the faculty. David C. Barrow, dean of .the University of Georgia, says: "At present hazing in this university is restricted to certain horseplay contests between the two younger classes. I know, however, that at any time our students may conclude it is good form tof olloy the example of other colleges and universities. I am highly gratified to find that the Minerva club is moving in the direction of a wise and healthy sentiment on a most diQctdt; and important subject. -yAU'lii :-' r

Some of the roads have ordered new freight and express cars and have appointed agents to look after their interests. GRANTED A DIVORCE. Ida M. Dollins was granted a divorce from Arthur Dollins in the circuit court Saturday morning. Dollins failed to appear at the trial, being detained for something like five years for stealing a horse. FAIR GROUNDS (Continued from ' Page 1.) there. The track gained a reputation as being one of the fastest in the United States and the best horseflesh in the country raced over it. Hundreds of local people will recall the time in 1902 when little Dirct hitched to a high wheeled sulky paced a mile over this track in 2:06 which nearly equaled the world's pacing record.. They will also recall the time when "Nelson" made the track trotting record of 2:0934, an event which created great excitement in sporting circles everywhere. At that time Nancy Hanks held the world's trotting record of 2:09 flat. These days have all past and the, fair grounds will be soon a matter of history and memory. JESSUP WANTS RICHMOND MEN SAYS HE MUST HAVE DOHERTY OR MANSFIELD FOR KOKOMO TEAM. K0K0M0 BOUND TOWARD TOP And Polo is on The Boom 'Since Jessup Took Hold of AffairsWon Saturday Night. Clarence Jessup, captain and manager of the Kokomo team, in the Central Polo League, was here yesterday to spend Sunday and was talking of his intentions in regard to the future of the Kokomo ' organization. "I am trying to get as much of the old Richmond team together as possible," said Jessup, "and now I am out after Mansfield or Doherty. I don 't care which, but I want a man to cover the center spot, and cither one of .them can-do it. If I can get Mansfield awjty. from Logansport, and this I am trying" to bring about bv trading Devlin for him," Kokomo will have, the team of the league. If I can't get Mansfield, I will trp to get Doherty and it would be the same V thing. Lyons is a half-back and all I want is a good center." Since Jessup went to Kokomo and took that team in hand, the attendance has jumped from a few hundred to 2,000 each polo night. The team has gone from the bottom of the ladder to the lead of the second division, with but a small number of points behind the first division.. In a game in Kokomo Saturday night, Kokomo defeated the Danville quintet by a score of 6 to 2. Bone starred and was assisted in his leading role by the remainder of the team. The fans are becoming enthusiastic again and are expecting great things. I uyram KODDins and wile or JJe-i troit, are visiting relatives here.

As president of the New York Life he will receive a salary of $50,000, half what was paid Mr. McCall.' ' Mr. Orr was born In Ireland seventyfour years ago and is a man of stately presence, with the manners of a Bour? bon diplom at of the days of Louis XIV. and a beard that used to be the envy of the late Moses P. Handy, who was himself famous for his hirsuteT appendage. He is fond of using delicate perfumes. One day while the subWay was under construction the rapid transit commissioner ' was a member of a party that inspected it To Mr. McDonald, the contractor, another one of the party remarked: "Delightful breeze on these cars, McDonald. At times the air seemed fragrant" "Yes," Interposed Perry Belmont who stood near; "McDonald gave Mr. Orr a seat in the front row, and the wind blew through his whiskers.",-.'.-v:. Representative Champ Clark of Missouri, who created a sensation in the house of representatives recently by booming Uncle Joe" Cannon as a candidate of the Republican party ; for president, is famous for his apt retorts. During the speech in which he referred to Speaker Cannon as a possible candidate for the presidential nomination some one asked Mr. Cannon what kind of a Democrat he called himself. The speaker's reply was prompt and to the point . . . Tarn a Champ Clark Democrat," he said. . , .' , . , In 1904, while swapping campaign stories with other politicians on the way to Esopus to notify Judge Parker of his nomination to the presidency, Mr. Clark was . awarded the palm for the following: "One of the funniest experiences I ever had was vwith a woman stenographer In a western city. I was billed for the leading speech at a campaign rally and neglected to prepare my address until a CHAMP CLARK. few hours before it was due for delivery, when I went to the stenographer at the hotel where I was. staying and asked her to take my dictation and write the- words on the typewriter as we went along, so that I might, save time and be. able to deliver the manifold copies of the address to the reportem just before the meeting began. "Seating myself in a comfortable armchair, I quickly put into words the address which I had outlined in my mind during an early , morning walk and was congratulating myself on the time ' I had saved when the stenographer suddenly burst into tears. I rushed to her side and urged her to restrain her feelings, meanwhile using my best efforts to ascertain the cause of her distress. Finally she raised her bowed head. 7 , " 'Would you mind speaking that all over again, Mr. Clark?' she said as quickly as her emotion would allow, 'for I am sorry to say I forgot to.put any paper in the machine." The United States senate indulged in ajittle mild hazing when the credentials of John M. Gearin, a Democrat appointed by the governor of Oregon to' succeed the late Senator Mitchell, were held up and criticised. Mr. Gearin sat beside his, "colleague. .Mr. Ljilton,. who presented the ; credentials. r iWhen Senator Burrows objected to them t saying that & gov ernor .has no-; constitutional right to appoint a", senator to serve "until his successor is elected," the " candidate for senatorial honors looked weak and faint His courage revived somewhat as Senators Spooner and Teller JOHI? If. GEARIN. 4 said that, while the credentials were defective in that respect there were precedents for aci cepting them. After Mr. Burrows had witiidra wn his objection Mr. Gearin took the oath. For a . Republican governor to "appoint a Democrat to a seat in the United States senate is a ( somewhat unusual proceeding. Mr.' Gearin Is the first Democrat to represent.

The evidence is somewhat conflicting as to whether his reign was,J wise,; benignant and progressive or cruel, despotic and venial. "What do you do when jou outgrow your plpthes?"

CHICAGO VOTES TO DROP FOOTBALL FACULTY SUSPENDS GAME IOE TWO YEARS IF CONFER ENCE AGREES. LEADS RADICAL MOVEMENT Reforms Suggested Not .Thought Strong Enough to Rid the Sport of Evila ' ' - , Chicago, Feb. 4. - Bang football, tottering from the savage glows dealt his throne at the recent football conference at the Chicago Beach hotel, was given another hard jolt by the faculty of the University of Chicago. -Professors of the Midway institution voted unanimously for the abolition of the game for a period of two years, with the promise that an agreement to that effeet be reached with the other conference colleges. At the same time the North western faculty adopted in toto all the reform recommendations of the recent conference. More far-reaching than .those recommendations was the action of the united faculties of the local university. The reforms suggested, it was held, were not severe enough to purge the game of, the many evil, disgraceful, pugilistic, and generally degrading tendencies and influences. Only the suspension of the game can remedy the troubles and tangles in the opinion of the Midway professors. The conclusion reached by the Chicago faculty after more than two hours' deliberation were as follows: , i 1 The united faculties of arts," literature, science and the united faculty of the junior colleges of the University of Chicago express to the intercollegiate conference their prefenee for the suspension of intercollegiate football for. two years, but, this agreement f ailin, they accept the recommendations presented to them by the conference.' ' Two more suggestions Were made one an interpretation of section 8 of the conference recommendations, which dealt with the training table and quarters, and the. other a recommendation which dealt with section 12 in rearard to the closing of the sea-; .sti t iThey. follow ; " " : T V ; . - -The 'question being raised of the interpretation of . section 8, it was voted that these faculties interpret section-8 to mean that no. training table or training quarters b'e-maintain-ed.x:.. z i. -V'';: Cy-'""."'r "'''Yv:v,' .. - "The faculties expressed their preference that the word second should be omitted before Saturday in seetion 12." . Chicago's stand in advising the suspension of football for two years is expected by many of the Midway faculty to mean similar action by other members of the big nine, while several of the professors stated that they believed another conference would be called and action taken to suspend the game throughout the conference colleges for, a period of two years. '. V - y: i Wisconsin, according to one professor who refused to permit the use of his name, is almost "certain to follow the action of Chicago, while there is a strong probability that Michigan, with in strong , sentiment in - the faculty favoring the suspension oi

00 I lb I This! the game, will follow the example and call off the game for a similar period.. With the three leading col leges of the west and of the conferences group taking a stand against the game, it is declared that all the other secondary colleges will fall in line and football will be wiped off the - collegiate athletic curriculum for two years. NO MORE WHIPPING WATSON'S WORK IS DONE. Ready to Take a Rest on Naval Ap- . propriation Foryear. Louis Ludlow in his letter to th Indianapolis Star yesterday said : "Representative Watson, whip of the House, does not expect to have to do any more whipping at this session of Congress. There is a bare suspicion . in his tone of discussion of the naval bill that the whip may go on strike and refuse to whip if the administration tries to crowd a big naval bill on the House". . ' "I am in favor of taking a rest as fas as naval appropriations are concerned," he said. "I am opposed to authorizing any. more battleships .at" this session or to any larger expenditure for the navy than is absolutX ly neeessary to maintain it." Mr; Watson formerly Was a member, of the Committee on Naval Affairs. He believes that there is a general disposition to hold down the naval program. : . . , The whip says he thinks there is no Inore fight in this Congress as far as the House is concerned. "We are a unit on ; railway rate legislation," he said. "The appropriation bills will go through as a matter of course and there is nothing. left to fight over."
