ger of the 1909 Team.
 The officers of the Yale Football assoc
 citation were elected last night at a meeting held in Osborn hall. The meet- l ing was attended by about 700 students
 and there was great interest in it. The
 places were undecided, and for this | reason and also that there were sew l eral candidates in the field the meeting was one of the most exciting in years. Alan Fox, the assistant manager last year, was elected manager by unani- nous vote. For assistant manager there were four candidates in the field. They were l.. P. Reed, H. c. Miller, l.. IT. Arnold and c. H. Shell. Miller was elected by the small majority of ten votes after an exciting ballot. For the secretaryship Messrs. Artebum, Boies and Adame were nominated. It was generally conceded that Adams would be elected to the place, but he was de- feated by Boies by narrow margin. There were four nominations for vice president, as follows: c. D. Tripp, Per- ry Griffin, Thomas Guffin and R. M. In- gram. Ingram was elected.
 The meeting was presided over by Charles D. Francis. the manager of the team last year, and he submitted his annual statement of the football finances. The receipts were S51, ,6SS.32 and the expenditures were SPA 656.23, leaving a balance of S2703209 in the treasury. This is the largest balance for one season ever turned over by . manager of the Yale football team. The report was a very encouraging one and the manager was heartily applauded as he finished it.

MINERS MAKE DEMANDS.
PRES. MITCHELL OFFERS NEW
 SCALE FOR AGREEMENT.

 Scale Nonsense.
 Indianapolis, Jan. 31.-The joint con- ! ference of miners and operators settled down to business this afternoon, and by evening proceedings were well under
 way. The miners, through President Mitchell, presented their demand for an increase in pay and for correcting abuses. and they were discussed at some length in open convention. Even in this short time the issues were clear ly joined between the miners and oper- ators. The scale committee which will have to take up the discussion of the demands, was also appointed.
 The convention was organized pernla- nently by the selection of G. w. Traer, of Chicago, as chairman, w. B. Wilson, secretary of the Mine Workers associa- tion, as secretary, and C. l.. Scroggs, of Chicago, as assistant secretary.
 It was decided to admit the state and national officers of the Mine Workers association to the sessions of the scale committee, and the same courtesy was extended to the officers of the various state organizations of the operators.
 After a short recess President Mitch ell, on behalf of the miners asked that the operators offer their scale for the consideration of the convention. MT. Robbins, who acted as spokesman for the operators, said the operators had no scale to offer. He asked that the miners demands be presented. Presi- dent Mitchell then submitted the for nal demand of the miners, which was as follows:
 That there be a general advance of 10 per cent. on prices.
 2-That an absolute run-of-mine sys- tenn be adopted for all mines in the competitive field.
 3-That there shall be a uniform scale for all outside day day labor and eight hours shall constitute a days work.
 4--That there be a straight differen- tial of seven cents per ton between pick and machine mining
 5-That all drivers wages be advanc- ed to $2,25 per day and 10 per cent. added.
 6-That no clause be inserted in any contract nor joint agreement requiring the employees to purchase powder from their employers.
 That the check-off system be adopted and agreed to in all the com- petitive districts
 President Mitchell spoke in support of the demands of the miners.
 Mir Robbins, in opposing the pro- posed new scale denied the increase in price, declaring that they had de- creased. In conclusion he said; You | can never hope to accomplish what 1 you ask for. This scale is nonsense; | it is nonsense to expect it. You don't, | you can't expect it in the face of the | facts"
 Adjournment was taken late this ev aning. The argument will be resumed | to- morrow morning. The scale commit | tee will organize and begin work to- morrow.

CLOSE OF THE CONFERENCE IMPORTANT RESULTS OF PAN-
 AMERICAN CONTENTION.
Reviewed in Closing by tho Mexican
 Minister of Foreign Afrairs-Advance- ment of the Great Prin cip1e of Arbi-

| Kansas City, Jan. 31.-In closing the | Pan-American conference this after
 noon Ignacio Mariscal minister of for eign affairs of the Mexican government, said in part:
 You have advanced in practice the great principle of arbitration, the peace full and educational solution of interna- l tional controversies so as to render less | frequent the barbarious appeal to force. | Ten delegations reached an agreement and signed treaty of compulsory ar bitration, with exceptions similar to those that figured in the Washington treaty, which miscarried in 1S90-a fate which we may reasonably hope is not reserved for the present convention. Nevertheless it is not the principal tri-
 umph obtained in the matter of arbi-
 tration. That triumph is undoubtedly
 the unanimous agreement of all the del-
 egations in spite of their apparently
 radical divergence as to the application
 of that great principle, to submit for
 settlement to the permanent arbitration
 court of The Hague controversies that
 arise among the governments of Ameri- ca due to the claims of private individ-
 uals for indemnities and damages.
 When the convention in question once comes into force those complaints and claims which most inflame the minds of men and embitter international rela- tions will be settled peacefully in the manner dictated by equity and the highest considerations of expediency Finally, you have unanimously agreed to recognize the principles proclaimed by The Hague peace convention and are prepared to become parties to the conventions concluded by the confer enee."

REPLY 10 DUTCH PROPOSAL
BPJTAIN DOES NOT TAKE AN 4B-
 SOLUTELY NEGATIVE STAND.

the Burghers fin tho Field is Doubted :
 Report That Botha Does Not Want Peace
 London, Jan. 31.-Great Britain's re.
 ply to the proposal of the Dutch gov
 ernment to try to bring about peace ir
 South Africa, is not in the nature oi
 direct negative, though it is not un-
 likely that it will have that effect, for
 while Lord Lansdowne, the foreign sec retary, probably leaves loophole for further suggestions, he doubts the abil- ity of the Boer delegates to control their fellow countrymen, and there seems little likelihood that the Dutch government can secure guarantees, in regard to the powers of the Boer dele gates, satisfactory enough to induce Great Britain to accede to the original request.
 The Associated Press has reason to believe, however. that it's original sum mary of the Dutch communication was correct with this addition. that the Dutch suggested that Vessels. Woln1a- rans and Fischer, the Boer delegates now in Europe, be permitted to go to South Africa in an endeavor to per- suade the burghers in the field to sur- render.
 Paris. Jan, 31.-The Liberte to-day prints a dispatch from Brussels which says that Dr. Leyds the European agent of the Boers received recently a communication from General Botha, the commander-in-c chief of the Boers, dated only week ago in which he not only does not allude to his alleged de- sire for peace, but declares the Boers are sufficiently provisioned to continue the struggle hopefully and that the sit uation in Cape Town was growing worse for the British.
 The Temps correspondent in an inter- view with Dr Ledys and MT. Fischer at Brusselss regarding the powers of the Boer delegation in Europe quotes them as saying: We are duly accredit- sd by our government and could begin negotiations at any moment. But we will do nothing decisive in the case be- ore consulting with the commanders, md neither Steyn nor Botha nor any other leader will take a decision with nut conferring with us"

siOns?'
That question is not before the Senate or
before the American people" replied Mr.. Bev-
eridge IF II ever shall be the Republican party
Will answer il effectively and satisfactorily as
1t always has answered important questions"
Mr.. Carmack having intimated that the treaty
with Spain had been ratified because the con-
trolling powers had put the dollar above every
other interest, Mr.. SpOoner denied that in rati-
flying the Paris treaty the Senate had even at
tempted 10 reduce the Philippine situation to the
standard of the dollar. Mr.. Carmack, he said,
not in the Senate at that time.
Il know what is in the record" retOrted Mr.
Carmack. And 1 know that the then Secre-
tary of the Treasury said that there was good
deal of selfishness in the transaction"
THAT is merely the opinion of an individual,
suggested Mr. SpoOner
Mr.. Hear inquired of Mr. Beverdge If Great
Britain had a larger export trade with her de-
tendencies with free nations.
Mr. Beveridge replied that the trade was
greater with free nations because only OF the
lower consuming power of the dependencies.
GENERAL WOOD ANOTHER TAFT"
Mr.. Dubois having contended that if Governor
Taft other members of the present able Phil
ippine Commission should die. it would be diff
cult to supply their places with equally excellent
and patriotic men, Mr.. Beverdge said: There is
another Taft not far away. He will be here in
a few days. Leonard Wood is another Taft.
He meets all the requirements of great ad-
ministratiVe officer" He mentioned also Luke
Wright a member of the Philippine Commis
sion, as able 10 take up the work of Governor

American nation was the greatest reservoir OF

A CONFERENCE ON DIVORCE.
ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE TO MEET THOSE
OF OTHER CHURCHES

Early in yesterday afternoons session of the
Presbyterian General Assembly in bringing for
ward for confirmation certain recommended tions
of the committee church polity, the Rev.
Andrew Christy Brown offered some resolutions
about divorce and remarriage that provoked
discussion. The presbyteries of Washington and
Baltimore had sent Overtures asking for
change in the Confession TO make the Churchs
condemnation of divorce proceedings
we're. One of the resolutions recommended that
such action be taken until there had been
conferences with representatives Of other
churches and to provide for such conferences
there was resolution to appoint a committee
OF nine.
This committee is directed ito confer with the
committee of the Protestant Episcopal Church.
and with similar committees that may be ap-
pointed by other churches. with a view of secur-
ing some concerted opinion and action by the
churches of America relative TO divorce and re-
marriage, and to affect public opinion that
uniform legislation may be enacted by the State
that will conserve the family institution and
preserve the sanctity OF the marriage bond"
Another resolution urged ministers to instruct
their congregations TO the sacredness OF the
marriage institution. and to exercise due dill
gence before the celebration OF a marriage to
ascertain that there exist no impediments
thereto, defined in our Confession of Faith"
The Rev. Dr. ]. n. McIlwain. of Baltimore,
made a vigorous speech in the discussion before
the resolutions were adopted

her of divorces increases twice as fast as the

central figure young man.
Discussing the conditions Of success In life the
speaker said that there was a disposition on the
part OF many to give an exaggerated Importance to
the intellectual faculties, especially the
of reading. He believed that success depended
more on the character than on the acquired knowI-
edge of the man. In discussing the comparati
merits OF a practical elementary education as
against "A classical education the speaker, while
recognizing the benefit of a classical education
suggested that many men were successful without

mentioned the fact that, both In the Senate and
House of Representatives the proportion college
graduates to those only having an academic train

that none OF the graduates OF the Packard Com
mercial College could be other than benefited If
they were privileged to have so-called higher
education, yet such classical training was not es-
sentia to and the great prizes of life were

he could retain his sefrespect and the leader

for the nomination for Governor on the Democratic
ticket next fall. The boom for Mr.. Nixon was
started by ex-Assemblyman Paddy Roche. at the
MetropoIe Hotel who sees nearly all the Tammany
men every day. Mr.. Roche is an enthusiastic Nixon
man. ard he said last night that he had met many
Democrats from up the State who thought that
Mr. Nixon, on account of his break with Tam
many would be the strongest candidate that could
be selected by the Democrats this fall.
He broke with the gang in Tammany that don't
believe in having things the level. said Mr.
Roche and that very act has strengthened him
amazingly with honest Democrats throughout the
State. He is the strongest candidate that could
be named.
