FOR NEW INAUGURATION DAY
Committee Finds Sentiment Generally
Favorable to Last ThurEdRy
In April.

WASHINGTON, April THE agitation in
favor of changing the date of Inauguration
OF the president from the month of March
to the latter part of April received an i'm
petus today at the meeting of the national
committee having the matter in hand. The
change had been advocated. owing to the
inclemency of the weather of early March.
The meeting was presided over by Dis
trict Commissioner Henry B. F. MacFar-
land. Mr.. MacFarland gave a brief his
torical review of the movement for q
change in the date, emphasizing the una
nimity of sentiment in regard to it and its
national character. He declared that the
senate of the United States had passed Mr..
Hoars resolution providing for the last
Thursday in April as the inaugural. II
was agreed that the chairman should ap-
point an executive committee. 1t was re-
solved as the sense OF the committee that
the date of the Inauguration day should be
changed from the 4th Of March to the last
Thursday in April. but no particular bill
OF resolution should be advocated.
The proposition to fix the SOth day OF
April was considered but received no sup
port, because II was felt that II was better
to name a day OF the week rather than a
day of the month-a day that would come
always in the middle of the week, so TO
avoid Sunday. The committee was unani-
mously in favor Of the last Thursday in
April.

STEAD'S NAME is LEFT OUT
Counsel for Rhodes Tells why He
in Not One of the
Executors.

LONDON, April THE fact that w. T.
stead's name was not among the executors
OF Cecil Rhodes will has given rise to
some comment, for It was generally under
stood that he was closely associated with
those designated to carry out Mr.. Rhodes
aspirations. In order to dispel any misap-
prehension B. A. Hawksley, who was coun-
sci for Mr.. Rhodes, declared In an open
letter that the removal of Mr.. Steads name
was not in any way due to differences on
the subject Of the South African war, but
for other causes. quite appreciated by Mr..
Stead, and which did honor alike TO both
men. I'm the far-back days" writes Mr..
Hawksley, when Mr.. Stead expounded the
common interests Of the English h-speaking
peoples. his acquaintance was sought by
Mr.. Rhodes, the acquaintanceship ripened
into close intimacy and continued to the
last. Mr.. Rhodes recognized In Mr.. Stead
one who thought as he did, and who had the
marvellous gift Of enabling him to clothe
with literary charm the ideas they both
held dear. AS Mr.. Rhodes frequently said
to me and others. including Mr.. Stead him
self, the friendship of the two men was
too strong to be broken by passing differ
ences about the South African war"

on this measure. The movement for a con-
ference was understood to have been initi-

position. II was conceded by the support

will lead TO retaliatory action on the part
OF China and that their market in the
Orient might be checked If not destroyed.

ment. MIR. Clark served notice that IL the
provision was defeated he would offCr 1t as
an amendment to the ship subsidy bill.
At this point the committee arose to
permit Mr.. Payne, the majority leader, to
call up the conference report on the war
revenue repeal bill.
MIR. Richardson, the democratic member
of the house conferees. explained why he
declined to sign the report. He said the
democrats did not believe that all the war
revenue taxes should be repealed and taxes
on the necessaries OF life remain.
For instance, he said, he favored the
senate amendment which would have al
lowed the tax on bucket shops to remain,
but which the conferees disagreed to.
MIR. Payne In reply said he had proposed
the senate amendment because he did not
believe in taxing the small gamblers and
allowing the big ones to go scot free.

lows:
"And it shall be unlawful for any vessel

to employ in the crew any Chinese person
not entitled to admission to the United
States or to any portion Of the United
States to which such vessel plies, and any
violation Of this provision shall be punish
able by a fine not exceeding $4,000"
Against the modified amendment Mr..
Perkins of New York raised the point OF
order that II was not germane, and Mr..
Moody OF Massachusetts, sustained the
point, but in the course Of his ruling In
dicated how the amendment might be made
germane. Thereupon Mr.. Kahn Of Cali
fornia modified the amendment to make II
conform to the ruling Of the chair, his mod
flied amendment providing that it should
be unlawful for an American ship, for a
voyage terminating at an American port
to employ Chinese sailors.

ROW OVER A CAPTAIN.
Washburn Baseball Team is
Having Trouble.

There is a row on among the members
of the Washburn baseball team, which
may result in the abandonment of the
trip through Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska
and South Dakota that was to COM
mence next Wednesday.
1t is customary for the manager Of
the baseball team to call a meeting
after the first game of the season for
the purpose OF electing a captain. The
Washburn team played two games at
Emporia, but Manager Ritchie failed t0
call the meeting. and kept Pierre An
derson in the position of temporary
captain. Saturday a request was made
to Manager Richie that he call meet
ing and elect a captain. He paid no
attention to the request. Today a petit
ton signed by Moss, Mehl, Doan and
WOrseley was sent to the athletic board
asking that the board take charge of
the matter and call a meeting for the
purpose of electing a captain. The
athletic board was also asked to pass
upon the question of whether the man.
ager had a right to vote. There are five
members of the team who are supposed
to favor Moss for captain and four who
favor Anderson.
