A1hletIc Meet nt Dnrtmonlh.

The fourth annual meet OF the Dart
mouth Interscholastic Athletic associa-
ton was held on Alumni Field at Hanover
yesterday.
The entry list was not so large as in pre-
vious wears, but the events were more
evenly contested. Only one record was
lowered, the quarter mile, although sew
erai other records were equaled.
Following are the number OF points won
by each SCHOOL, Murdoch High school OF
MincheDdon, Mass, IS; Haverhill High
school, 21 Randolph High school, u;
Troy Conference academy, Poultney, -
Kimbal Union academy, y; Claremont
High school. 9; Concord High school, s.
81. Johnsbrry academy, 3.
Thus 1t wih be seen that our school is
tied for third place, very much better
position than held before. Only two men
were entered from the local school, A. l..
Newton in the quarter, halt and mile runs,
and T. b. Mcintyre in the two mile oicy-
Gle race. Newton took first in the hall
mile and mile, in which he outclassed his
( field This makes the third time in sue
cession that he has captured the mile and
I the second time that he has won IN the
| half mile He did not quite equal the
record in either event as he was not hard
pushed and again the track was heavy ana

quarter. mile which il seemed certain that
/ he could win. Newton's time for the mile
! was :5S 3-5 and in the half 2:09 10.
MCINTYRE won his trial in the bicycle
race In very easy manner. He used good
/ judgment in sizing up his field and when
the right time came made pretty sprint,
winning easily. In the final, he won sec
ond place handily but could not quite
overtake the winner. Time, 6:0l.
Those who went from here 10 witness
the event were Peter Sault and sons, f.
/ w, f. L. and II. ID. Sault.
The association at a meeting held last
night decided to send Newton to New
York for the National InterscholastiC
Athletic association meet which will be
held June 10. Newton will be entered IN
the long distances and competent judges
think that he is capable of winning some
points. The association will also send
another man, j. Browne OF Troy Confer
ence academy at Poultney, who was the
winner of the bicycle race, He is proba'
bly, the best rider that ever competed IN
this event at the four meets that have
been held. He is backed to be winner
I at New York.

for Ladies'

The successful combination OF grace
and strength in the frame of lady's
bicycle is a problem which has long
elected the best efforts of bicycle man
ufactmers. Indifferent success has
been largely the result, and lady rid
ers have been placed at disadvantage
in securing stylish mounts. Realizing
that grace and style in riding are as
dependent upon the lines of the frame
as upon the skill of the rider, we~are
confident that this wheel cannot fail

Too Much Politics.
From the Marshall, Mich, Statesman.

The facts are that We have altogether too
much politics in this country. 1t Is all
right and perfectly proper that every voter
should seek 10 inform himself as far as he
may, with safety to his other duties, on all
the political problems that are presented for
solution by the ballot. But many times it
occurs that before one campaign Is fairly
ended another is begun, and thus it happens
that in many cases the farm, the store and
the shop are forgotten, business is
neglected, friendships are broken in a vain
and pro6tiess discussion OF only half-under-
stood questions. These things ought not. so
to be. The money spent and time wasted
in national campaign would in a few
years amount to sum sufficient to pay off
our national BIT. Would it not be better
wisdom to dl the discussion of politics
for time, to nave more business and less
buster; to put our shops and stores, instead
of our polite Il arguments, in order; to
cultivate our tit Ids and the amenities Of our
better natures instead of the strifes and
contentious of our political differences; to
practice the gospel of peace and good will
instead of the heresy of malice and hatred?
There is a sure profit, quick dividends and
withal great peace and true happiness in
the experiment.

Find Dorsey FouItz.

The capture Of Tim" Hurley, who has
been wanted for some months to answer a
charge of mUrderous assault committed in
the second police precinct, suggests that
perhaps after while the police force may
remove another stigma from the record Of
the same precinct by effecting the capture
OF Dorsey Foultz. This man murdered an
other IN a most public manner nearly four
months ago and has since been hiding suc-
cessfuily from the police 1t is strongly
suspected that he has been haunting the
alleys that he formerly frequented. and if
onr-tenth of the rumors concerning his
whereabouts are to be believed ne has a,
no time been more than five miles from
the scene OF the tragedy. Foultz is fortu-
nate perhaps. in being marked by no

Rapid Transit.

Receiver Scnoepf removed all doubt as 10
the character of the air motor system that
ne proposes to install on the lexington
and Belt lines when in his latest letter to
The Commissioners he used the following
language in support of his disclaimer as
to the Iced of the tests now outlined by
the Commissioners:
In the Installation OF this system hiyh
pressure pipe lines viii be laid between the
center OF the tracks of all the lines with
emergency charging stations at all ter
miaais and intersections of the different
lines. and intermediate points of probably
every nalf mile. which will be OF similar an

small water main"
Thus the last vestige of pretense that an
independent motor system was ever in con-
temptation In swept away and the promo
sition Is reduced TO its real terms-a motor
line In which the motor will depend upon
conduit service to such an extent as To re-
quire tie aid OF score or more of points of
connection with the central power station.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES oniec,,on..

The garbage contractor should not pro-
test against that clause in the new agree
II ent which has just been drawn for his
signature and that of the Commissioners
which requires that each scow load of
garbage shall be escorted to the place of
final disposal by an inspector. He claims
that inasmuch as he will dispose of the
garbage in Maryland the local authorities
have no jurisdiction over him in that
act, and he protests against the presence
or an inspector on the scow as an un-
warranted requirement. The contractor is
far from being wise In thus drawing a
dead line at the boundary between the
District and Maryland. The mere hint
that an inspector Is not wanted on the
scows suggests that perhaps the progress
OF these carriers down stream and the
FINAL treatment Of the garbage may net. us

be. There are good reasons for the exer-

the garbage from the moment It is nut

inonensive substance. II is Of record that
much OF the material when conveyed down

manner found its way Into the river before

Guaranteeing Bicycles.

1t is stated that at the forthcoming meet
ing of the national cycle board of trade in
New York proposition will be made and
vigorously advocated that the bicycle
makers and dealers abandon the guarantee
that has formed so marked a feature of
this trade for some years. 1t is now the
custom for wheelmakers and sellers to
agree to repair all breaks in the machine
occurring within a year after purchase
that are due to inherent faults in the ma
chine. This guarantee has been undoub-
eddy utilized by INSCRIPTIONS buyers many
times, repairs being secured when the
damage has been caused solely by the
riders careiessness or is to be traced to
causes quite apart from the true merit of
the wheel The present tendency in wheel
making is to reduce the price from the
once-standard hundred-dollar rate to the
he'shborhood of $50. Some of the "high-
grade wheels are now to be obtained for
prices nearer the latter figure than the for
mer, and there is a constant dropping as
the competition becomes more severe and
as the processes of manufacture grow
cheaper 1t is regarded as practically GER

1t Is contended by some makers that if
they can rid themselves of the burden of
maintaining the guarantee they will he

there are comparatively few calls for re-
pairs of that description from conscientious
uyers. The only danger to the wheel
users in the proposed abandonment of the
guarantee is that it may result in chean-
eEing OF the methods of manufacture to an
undesirable degree.

Crime and Literature.
From the Kansas City Star.

The fact Is noted that suspected thief
lately arrested by the Kansas City police
carried in his pocket, and diligently perused
while in custody not a tale of blood, muir
der and crime, but Beatrice Harraden's
ships That Pass in the Night" This is
taken as singular circumstance, it being
a popular belief that most criminals are
made so by reading bad books, and that af-
ter they enter upon career of systematic
wickedness they read nothing else The
observations made by the officers of prison
libraries show that the literary taste of
prisoners is fairly good, and that they seem

been abundantly demonstrated that very

Would the contractor take the trouble Of
putting an inspector ashore when that
POINT b reached? The protest against his
presence at the disposal plant is hint
that the process contemplated there may
Lot be without Its Objectionable features.
The District has an interest in keeping the
disposal plant free from such features as
would lead the Maryland authorities to
stop the treatment Of the garbage there.

1t matters not whether the trench Is shall
low or deep. or whether the re-charsing
stations project above the surface or are
flush. Nor II it material that, as the re-
ceiver further asserts, 1t win not be neces-
sary to recharge save at the terminals, ex-
cept in cases Of accident. The much vaunt-
ed Independent motor becomes a power car
that obtains its force through a series Of
impulses and 1t falls short of being a means
of affording rapid transit just in proportion
as time is consumed at the various points
Of connection. This might be termed an in
termittent system CT rapid transit. There
Is no guarantee, save in the receivers bald
assertion. that passengers will not be held
stored to its full force.
But the Commissioners must now look
upon the case from a new point Of view.
The sentences just quoted from the re-
ceiver's letter open up an entirely novel line
OF inquiry. This was outlined yesterday in
these columns but 1t is important now that
the pipeline cat is out of the bag to pro-
coed In some detail to suggest the various
possibilities in the line of proper investiga-
ton. Assuming that the Belt road will be
equipped with the lexington the pipe line
must run from the central power plant
along the routes of these two roads to the
extreme limits Of each. To ensure a salts
factory service the pressure at the end of
each of these branches must be sufficient
TO charge the bottles to their full capacity,
Notwithstanding the subtractions caused
by the recharging of cars on the route and
at intersections. This involves a serious
mechanical problem, the like of which has
never been encountered in this vicinity, and
Tor which there is little if any parallel in
this country. This long line of pipes, con-
tanning air at high pressure, is subject to
several sorts of accidents. Breaks may oc-
cur as the result Of wash-outs under the
PIPES. The pipes may freeze. They may
and probably will leak. Each of the half
mile recharging stations will be danger
point for burstings and leakings and freez-
lhss- The disablement of the pipe line from
any one of these causes means the neces-
slty of running the cars on all the lines sup
pied by that pipe with their initial charges.
II they can successfully withstand such an
emergency why can they not be relied upon
In the outset to operate without the aid of
these subterranean sources of supply?
But IL more than one power station Is to
be provided, where will they be located
and under what regulations? That con-
Germs the company more directly than the
public. but 1t affects the economical side
OF the question, and becomes public con-
Germ, since financial inability is the roads
excuse for reluctance to equip at once with
4 hrst-class underground electric system
1t is to be seen from these briefly outlined
suggestions that the receivers confession
mas SO changed the aspect of the case that
the Commissioners in addition to the pro-
posed tests will be justified in entering upon
a thorough and exhaustive inquiry into a
topic that was not involved in the original
proposition which assumed that the air
motor would be wholly Independent

Lord Kelvin on Air Motors.

LORD Kelvin was willing 10 say briefly
In reference to the use of compressed air
as the motive power that 1t had been ex-
perimentally tested in Glasgow and been
abandoned. 1t seemed to him that it was a
question of location, of local influences and
that no general statement could be made
as to the commercial availability Of that
part at least for the propulsion of street
cars. Yet, Lord Kelvin's rather guarded
comments about this power, suggested that
at present at least he has no great faith in
its commercial availability as traction
power.
