There are many pleasant things in a
visit to Mexico. You know exactly how
to dress under the changing conditions OF
Temperature. You know that you will not
need an overcoat from o'clock in the

you will be certain to need one at any

this season of the year; but in driving or

Visitors from the North should be care
full about their clothing. and not lay aside
their winter garments because OF the
searching midday sun, and those who are
fond of good square meal should have
their own cook and car with them. II is
a very interesting and instructive country
fo- the student, but those who come mere
ly TO rthe purpose OF pleasure would do
well not to come at all.

Georgetown Universily's indoor athlet-
ic meet at Convention Hall, Saturday,
March .. promises to be one of the larg-
est affairs of the kind ever held in Amer
lea. The fields of entries will be large
and the quality exceptional Many cham
pions and ex-champions of the inter-colle-
giate world will contest. Relay races be-
tween the fastest college teams have been
arranged and viii prove interesting fea-
lures Of the meet.
Among those athletes who have al
ready sigu6ed their intention Of being
present are: Maxey Long, the noted
Splinter of Columbia, who will run I'M

The fact that the meet will occur but
two days before the Inauguration cere-
monies is an element that leads to the
general impression that it will be sue
cess. Hundreds Of college students will
come TO Washington TO witness the in
auguration and there will consequently
be keen interest in all things collegiate.

track is deducted will afford accommoda-
tion for not more than $500 people and
doubtless will be taxed to its full capaci-
ty.
The relay races between the fastest
college teams in the country will afford
an especially strong drawing card for the
meet.
The event on which the greatest III
terest Will be centred is the Cornell
Columbia race. 1t will be the more holly
contested because the two teams have
met before, and the colors of Columbia
lowered by the Ithacans. The race &C
cured at the indoor meet of the Knick-
erbocker Athletic Club in New York on
February l. In the final relay, the Cor
nell runner breasted the tape a yard in
front Of the Columbia Splinter. The re-
suit was somewhat of a surprise, and
Columbia will make a desperate effort |
TO regain tn laurels lost on that occa-
sion.

7 YEARS IN PRISON.
Punishment Which Probably
Awaits Thomas G. Barker.

New York, June 22-Enorts have
been made to interview the jurors who
listened to the evidence in the trial of
Thomas G. Barker for assaulting Rev.
John Keller of Arlington. n. J. Juror
Roberts McAndrews, in discussing the
matter, said:
I'VE followed the courts instructions.
We did not consider Mrs. .Barker's state
ment at ALL 1t cut no figure one way
or the other read Mrs. .Barker's state
ment, and I guess the other eleven did.
For my reasons, for convicting Barker,
read the evidence and the charge. I
consider it is no ones business whether
believe Mrs. Barker's statement OF.
not. It had nothing to do with the
trial"
Foreman J. G. Gopsin said:
s.That statement is to come before
the court in the contempt proceedings;
I do not want to mix uD in it,
This was the sentiment of the others,
who refused to discuss the latter in any
shape.
ed verdict of guilty. Under the charge
Of the court they could do little else.
The Jurors were told that they must
set aside all else and decide only #
Barker with intent fired at Keller. That
was the law and they must obey it No
tice Of appeal was given by Barker's s
counsel.
Barker found himself once more an
inmate of the county jail He must re-
main there until $4,000 bail is furnish
ed. Before him stands possible seven
years Imprisonment and fine of as
much as 81. 600.
Mrs Barker was not in the court room
to hear the verdict She was in anoth-
er part of the court house and when
told Of the verdict sobbed bitterly.
Mr.. Keller was also absent. and show
ed no emotion when told of the verdict.
Barker had expected an acquittal- He
based his hopes upon the strong plea
of his counsel when he dWelt upon the
unwritten law that man has a right
to kill where the sanctity of his home
is assailed Whatever the effect of this
line of pleading upon the jury it was
swept away by the cold charge of the
court that the story of the alleged
outrage, or the outrage itself if true,
was not justification for the defend
ants assault" The court explained that
he had admitted evidence that Barker
had been told of an alleged assault, not
because it had anything to do with the
case but because it was for the jury
to determine If the story had anything
to do with making the defendant GRIM
inally irresponsible. If they believed
the defendant was sane at the time of
the shooting they must convict
In his closing speech Prosecutor r.
win asked the jurors if the woman s
course was the natural one He said
her story was improbable, because Mrs
Barker would in the natural course
have told her husband of the assault at
once, and failing that, would have made
a confidant of a woman and not of an
other man.
The jury's only ballot was unanimous
for guilty and unit for the highest
degree charged.
