ed here as practically declaration that
Princeton will continue to stand for

have been working which look with

broaden the elective system; SO as to
make possible the attainment of the de-
gree of bachelor of arts in three

Set Fans on Fire.

Bowles and his men, as in the case OF
Nanning's company, completely set the
business fans on fire, and made them
fairly jump over the benches in their
endeavor to give vent to their delight.
Every yell known to the boys and girls
from the commercial school was again
brought into commission and hurled
forth at their rivals. Mr.. Davis. the
principal OF the Business, seemed well
satisfied.
It is exT ected that hundreds or even
thousands of persons will be turned

Baseball Park yesterday afternoon at 4
O'Clock and opened the program of the
annual competitive drill of the cadets
for the Allison Nailor gold medal and
the pennant of honor
The Capital of the Nation sees few
such events. An enormous crowd that
completely overfowed grandstands and
bleachers and extended around parts of
theE edges of the field was present.
Nearly every high school student in
the District of Columbia and the sur
rounding country was present, many of
them with their parents or friends.
Likewise, every pupil in the graded
schools who was so fortunate as to pos
sess a ticket, or who was successful
in GLIDING the vigilance of the members
of the Police Department to the extent
of effecting an entrance by way of the
proverbial back fence was there also.
And not one of the dense throng was
content with merely being present; each
and every one of them vociferously pro-
claimed the fact that they were very
much alive to the occasion and sup
ported one of the local schools. The
roar which issued from the assembled
hosts rolled across the big diamond and
was at times fairly 6eafening. Every few
minutes that awful torrent of sound, the
conglomeration of scores of songs and
yells, burst forth, denoting the fact
that company was about to appear or
retire from the field or some particularly
fine or unusually poor movement had
been executed.

with the location of the seats. The

CHARGE AND PROMPT DENIAL.
Not Immigrants, but Those who
Would Victimize Them Driven
from the Battery.

New York, April 21.-Commissioner
of immigration Fitchie received or
ders from Washington, yesterday, to
investigate published stories that inn
migrants who land in this city at the
Battery are brutally treated by the
special police on duty there.
A Brooklyn resident sent batch OF
the stories to President Roosevelt and
accompanied it with statement that
one of the instances he knew, from
personal observation, to be true.
The president, after looking over
the papers, sent them to Secretary
Shaw, who, in turn forwarded them
to Mr.. Fitchie with orders to apply
the probe.
The instance mentioned was that
the special police carried raw hide
whips with which they beat the inn
migrants, driving the foreigners be-
fore them like so many cattle.
Commissioner Fitchie is already out
in denial of the charges. He and
his police declare that it is not the
immigrants who are lashed with
whips. It is, they say, the horde OF
hotel runners, idlers, sharks" and
other men who have no legitimate
business at the Battery, and who
menace the immigrants as they land
The officers declare that the only way
to get rid of these pests, as they
term them, is to use violence.
