Baltimore Celebrating the Opening OF

Baltimore Celebrating the Opening OF
the American League.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, April 26.-Baltimore
is en- fete today to do honor to the return
of the national game and Manager Nc
Graw's Orioles. Business houses and resi-
dences are decorated with flags and orfole
bunting, while crowds line the streets to
catch a glimpse of the big parade.
The scenes remind old timers Of the ia
nous base ball times of 1894. 9o. '96 and
'97, and the universal verdict here Is that
Baltimore has a renewed attack Of base
ball fever in aggravated form. The parade
formed al l o'clock in front Of the Eutaw
House. Headed by the 4th Regiment Band
and detachment of mounted police, 1t
passed through the principal Streets. There
We're forty carriages in line.
Those containing the principal officials Of
the Baltimore and Boston clubs were drawn
by four horses. State and city dignitaries.
ball players and societies Of this city rode
in state. Trades and sporting organiza-
tons followed in gailydecorated wagons,
and in the rear trudged hundreds of root
ers. In all about one thousand were in
line.
The march to American League Park was
one long ovation. AS though to make up
for the two postponements a beautiful
spring day has been vouchsafed at last.
and the game will be played before one Of
the largest crowds ever gathered to see
noon. and 1t is estimated that at least
1900 will be present. Sheriff Schwatka
and Mayor Hayes will do the honors. The
grounds are rather soft,

CLASS FIGHT At PRINCETON.
Freshmen and SOphOmOres DelabOr
Each other Right Heartily.

PRINCETON, N. j., April ga class
fight between freshmen and sophomores
took place at the entrance Of Marquand
Chapel today, Immediately before the
morning services. Hostiites were re-
newed at the close of services, and the
fight was the fiercest and longest that has
been seen here in five years. A fortnight
ago many of the frst-year men appeared
in new spring hats, which prompted the
sophomores to an attack on the former for
prematurely donning spring head wear.
Neither side was decidedly victorious. Not
to be baffied in their attempt to put off
their year work caps and wear spring hats
instead, the 300 freshmen marched in
body to the chapel this morning, conspic-
uously displaying the new acquisitions.
The "sophs' were out in good force, and
the fight was on as soon the freshmen
rounded the library Despite the efforts Of
the proctors and college police, the strug-
gle lasted fully half an hour. No serious
injuries resulted, but black eyes and
bruised noses are to be seen all sides.
The battle was not decisive, each class los
ing number of hats.

NEW YORK. April 26-The preliminary
fight in the contest of Mrs Edla Muir to
set aside the will Of her mother, Mrs E. ].
Mcpherson, widow Of Senator John R. Nc
Pherson, was begun In the Hudson county
orphans court, Jersey City, today. before

Mrs. Mcpherson.
She was left only a life interest In the
estate, the will providing that after the
death Of Mrs. Muir and Mr.. Baldwin
$4,000 shall go to Christ Hospital 10000
to the Emergency Hospital in Washington
and the remainder to Yale University.
Judge Blair said there were two points to
consider. The first was whether a tempo
rary administrator should be appointed and
the second point was who should be APP
pointed temporary administrator, If such
appointment was made. He said he would
hear argument on the first point on Mon
day afternoon next and If it should be de-
cided that a temporary administrator
should be appointed the other point could
be settled on the following Friday.

CINCINNATI. Ohio, April 26.-The cli-
max Of the flood was passed last night at

ations. 1t Is not expected to be permanent

fore Monday after an interruption of less

Owing to the necessity for repairs and

the Kentucky side up the river have also
been under the water and left in very bad

Owing to the short duration Of the food
as well as the fact that it is below the
record of seven other Ohio river foods, the
damages along the valley are comparative

Ball at Philadelphia.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
PHILADELPHIA. Pa. April 2s-when
the local base ball followers awoke this
morning they were greeted by bright sun
shine and enough wind to dry out the
muddy grounds. The management of the
new American League club were on the
go long before daybreak and had steam
rollers at work fixing up the outf1eld. and
when the gates were opened the new park
appeared little the worse for the deluge
that 1t had received during the past two
days.
Before IL O'Clock the bleacher critics be-
gan to Wend their way toward Columbia
Park. and the scenes about the grounds
reminded one Of the old days when the
crowds attended the National League open
ing. 1t Is expected that fully 1000 will
witness the opening game.
The railway lines are pushed to their ut
most carrying capacity and all the cars
that can be utilized have been placed on
the lines leading to the grounds.
The Athletics. as the new local team will
be called, arrived early and were as happy
as school boys on a holiday vacation.
Ihey were met at the park by Messrs
Manning, Needham, Postal and Captain
Everett of the Washington club The sem
atorial representatives were delighted at
the prospects, and after making some nee
essary arrangements for their players
comfort, left the grounds and returned to
the hotel.
The boys are all in great shape and Man.

afternoon. Opposed to him Connie Mack

THE FILTRATION PLANT.
Site Recommended by the Engineer
Board.

1t was announced at the War Depart
ment today that no action has yet been
taken on the report of the board of army
engineers charged with the selection OF
site for the proposed filtration plant in the
District of Columbia. 1t Is expected that
Gen. Wilson, chief Of engineers. will sub
NIT his recommendation on the subject to
the Secretary Of War this afternoon.
The instructions to the special board. of
which Col. Miller was president, were that
it was the wish Of the chief Of engineers
that the inquiry of the board be broad and
thorough, and, keeping in view wise
economy that the site recommended for
selection should be the best, not only in
the light of present conditfonS, but also OF
the probable future development of the
systems Of water supply and water distri-
button of the District of Columbia. Many
sites were offered for the consideration OF
the board, most Of which, however, were
unsuitable on account of their location, to-
biographical features or engineering diff
culties. The number of sites was finally
reduced by the board to three for purposes
of close computation. All Of these sites
have been prominently mentioned In con-
nection with the proposed filtration plant.
The first of these was the Stubblefeld
site, located on the Conduit road, in the
state of Maryland about twelve miles from
the Howard University reservoir and three
and half miles this side Of Great Falls.
The second was the site bounded by the
Soldiers Home grounds. Whitney avenue.
7th street Morris streets. the Belleview
subdivision and the Howard University res
ervOir lands.
The third site was a tract of land bound
ed by the Soldiers Home grounds, North
Capitol street. Cincinnati street, list street
west. Baltimore street and the lands Of
the new reservoir at Howard University.
After carefully considering all the places
and making estimates Of cost, the board
recommended that the site described above
number three be selected.
The price for which the property at the
head Of list street. just south of the Sol
diers' Home. can be bought has not been
announced by the War Department, but r.
is understood that it will cost between
$4OO. 900 and 100000. Most of the land will
be secured for 80 cents a square foot, but
a slightly increased price has been asked
for small portion Of the land needed.

AGAINST EXPECTORATION.
Suggested Amendment to Article 10
of POIice REGULATIONS

The District Commissioners recently re-
ferred TO the health officer. DIR. VIM. c.
Woodward. a proposition to so amend the
police regulations as to make the splitting
upon public highways unlawful. DR. Wood
ward has more than once advocated such
regulation. and today he recommended to
the Commissioners that article 10 Of the
regulations be amended by adding thereto
the following section:
No person shall spit upon that part of
a public highway reserved for the use of
foot passengers nor upon the surface of
any public alley. no part of which Is re-
served, within i've feet OF the building line
thereof"
AT Or. Woodward's suggestion the pro-
posed section will be referred by the Com
mIssioners to their attorney for considera-
ton and report prior to action BY them.
