COL. CODY DENIES
That He is Going To Fight "a Duel
with Fred May,

The aftermath of the encounter between
Fred May and Col. VIM. F. Cody, generally
known Buffalo Bill at Chamerlin' s
last Friday night is now on, and the friends
OF the two parties are considering the pos
sibility of further meeting between them.
There has been some talk of a duel grow
ing out of the incident, but very little stock
is taken in this. although it is generally
admitted that both men are dead game, and
in case they came together at some future
date trouble is looked for with some degree
of certainty.
A telegram received in this city from
Chicago says: Col. William =. Cody who
has just arrived in Chicago from Washing
ton, referring to rumor that he had call
ed on friend at St. Paul to act as his
second in a duel with Fred May, said: II
am not going to fight duel with anybody
May has not challenged me. and / Am sure
I have not challenged him" Upon his ar
rival there, Col Cody found telegram re-
ferring to a matter Of business awaiting
MIN from DR.. Frank Howell, mayor of La
crosse, Wis, saying: Il am yours to COM
mand on all occasions, and in every emer-
Sency." This undoubtedly gave rise to the
rumor that he had asked northwestern
friend to act as his second.

The State Presidents.
Presidents evening was the name Of
the session that began at o'clock. and
short addresses were made by the presi-
dents of a number of different state asso-
Citations.
Mrs. Mary Bennett of the District of Co.
lumbia told of the efforts II ade to secure
from Congress legislation giving married
women their proper rights, OF the attempt
board and Of legislation pending for an en-
largement of the hoard with view to get
ting women appointed Mrs Bennett re
ferred to the presence OF three women on
the children's board of guardians and OF
woman being the physician in charge at the
Girls Reformatory School.
Miss Laura NJ Clay Of Kentucky made an
earnest appeal for equal rights for the two
sexes. and Mrs. Emily B. Ketcham of De-
troit told of the practical work that Is being
done in Michigan. Mrs. l.. NJ Stansbury.
the vice president of the Colorado associa-
ton, started her address by declaring that
she considered the victory of equal suffrage
in Colorado pre-eminently triumph or
faith. For half century. she said, the
cause of political equality has been slowly
but resistlessly advancing. Concessions and
partial suffrage all over the United States
are the result, but these inches are only
significant as they lead to the ell OF our de-
sire. The Colorado victory is the first or its
kind in the world and it comes, she said,
not the outcome of any particular cir
cumstances. not because more or harder
work was done at this time, but because of
all the work that has gone before.
WOmen's Duty to Vote.
Mrs Clara Bewick Colby of the Nebraska
Womans Suffrage Association said she
thought that woman's right to vote had
been pretty well established. She would
therefore, address herself to another phase
of the subject-that of womans duty to
vote. Not to vote down the saloons or up
the schools, or down or up any particular
institution or party, but to have an active
interest and an aroused conscience about
every question that concerns the public
good. Men are beginning, she said, to call
upon women for help to meet the new prob
lem of the day and they have a right to
woman's assistance.
Short addresses were also made by Claudia
B. Howard Maxwell of Georgia, Mrs. Jean
BROOKS Greenleaf of New York, James L.
Hughes OF Toronto and Mrs Virginia D.
Young of South Carolina. The remainder of
the session was devoted to addresses in
favor of the campaign in Kansas. Mrs
Laura NJ. Johns, Mrs. Anna l.. Diggs and
Miss Susan b. Anthony all spoke for addi-
tional contributions for the campaign In
that state.

Intercollegiate Contests Made Les,
Frequent and Freshmen Debarred.

intercollegiate Contests Made Less
Frequent and Freshmen Declared.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Feb. 2O.-President
Eliots annual report, with its much dis
cUssed attack upon college sports, was
made public today. He says, in part:
In the highly competitive sports which
give rise to exciting intercollegiate con-
tests. namely, boat racing, base ball and
foot ball. there have been developed in re-
cent years some evils of a serious nature.
No sport which requires of the players
more than two hours day during the term
time is fit for college use.
NO student can keep up his studies and
also play his full part in any one of these
three sports as at present conducted.
There Is something exquisitively map
propriate in the eXtravagant expenditure
on athletic sports at such institutions as
Harvard and Yale In the game OF foot
pail the players have been forced by public
opinion to overtrain and overwork until
there is great risk of injury and even
death.
ITO become brutal and brutalizing is the
natural tendency of all sports which in
volve violent personal collision between the
players. as in foot ball"
In the matter OF remedies, the president
suggests the following changes:
Il. There should be no freshmen inter-
collegiate matches
-. No games, intercollegiate or other
should be played on any other but college
fields belonging to one of the Competing
colleges. or in the college town.
-. Professional students should keep
apart in any Intercollegiate contests.
r. No student should be member of a
university team or crew in more than one
sport within the same year.
70. No foot ball should be played until
the rules are so amended to diminish the
number and the violence of the collisions
between the players, and provide for the en-
forcement of the rules.
% intercollegiate contests in any one
sport should not take place oftener than
every other year"

and proved a success. The jubilee selections
rendered by Prof J. T. Amos and five of his
