GIRLS SHOULD NOT

Woman Physical Director , De-

BOSTON. Oct. 12.-Basketban as a
physical exercise, and especially its
abuse as a physical training. was de-
nounced strongly by Miss Lucille r.
Hill, physical director OF Wellesley Col
iege, at the convention here yesterday
of the New England Association of COL
leges and Preparatory Schools.
As the chairman OF a committee of the
Boston Physical Education Society
rather than a representative of Welles-

auditors in the investigation of alleged
neglect and abuse of physical training
In schools. particularly in the secondary
schools.
The physical effects upon young girls
at critical period in their growth into
womanhood, the chances of permanent
injury to beauty and health. the evil
influence of such excitement upon the
emotional and nervous feminine nature,
and the tendency to unsex the player
for she declared that the competitive
game, with its travelling about. it's ex-
hibitions before mixed audiences, and its
cultivation of the win-at-any- spirit.

against the game for young girls. For

IS DOOMED,
SAYS JUDGE REAGAN
Former Confederate Cabinet Off
Ger Looks to Texas.

DALLAS. Tex, oct John II. Rea-
gan, Postmaster General of the Con-
federacy and the sole survivor Of JEFF
ferson Davis cabinet, who celebrated
his eighty-1lfth birthday last Thursday.
in an interview yesterday said:
Il feel that the American Republic IS
doomed In that event, Texas is the
hope of the people for free, representa-
tive government. Some day there will
be at least 100000 more people in this
State than there are now. I do not
want Texas to be divided
When Texas was admitted into the
Union the right was reserved TO make
five States of the territory embraced in
Texas. That should never be done. L
do not base my opposition upon the
pride that all Texans have in the Terri
torial greatness Of their State. The
reason Texas must never be divided is
this: There can be but two kinds of
republics, the confederation of States
and the centralized government, the
Inter of which becomes nothing in the
end but a monarchy.
THE United States is drifting rapidly
into a monarchial form of government.
IL is not even now governed by men. II
IS controlled by money. The power Of
the financial interests is paramount to
the power of the people. The result
will be the dissolution of the confed-
eracy of States. or a monarchial form
of government want Texas to be big
enough to stand alone when the disso-
luton of the Union shall come. That is
reason enough for never dividing the

CIRCUITS DECLARATION
Braves Now Believe McClellan'S
Election Is Assured.

NEW YORK. Oct. 12.-Comptroller
CIRCUITS statement that he would support
Colonel Mcclellan and the entire Demo-
cratic ticket was a subject OF general
felicitation at the Hoffman House yes
terday, and the Tammany braves de-
clared that if there had been any doubt
of the election of Mcclellan it was now
dissipated.
The odds In the election betting have
already jumped TO to / IN favor of
Mcclellan. and it is predicted that as
good as 3 to l may be had before the
week is over. 1t IS recalled, however,
that two years ago the betting at first
favored Shepard by large odds until
they shifted to Low as election day APP
preached, and the day before the ballots
were cast the Low adherents would give
odds If they made any wagers.
Little surprise is expressed at Mr..
CIRCUITS announcement as no other
course was left to him. Even the
strongest Fusion advocates admit that
Mr.. Low and Mr.. Cutting acquiesced at
first in the comDtrollers view that he
could accept a Tammany nomination
