I. This statement was made by President

speech delivered at the University OF Chi.
tcago Saturday before the session; OF. the
| North Central Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools. Represents from
lnearly all the colleges and preparatory
schools of the middle west were present,
and DR.. Jordan said he made his state
ments regarding Mr.. Yost with the full
permission Of the Michigan representative
| at the meeting.
The meeting had been turned into d
Symposium on the control Of athletics.
Papers had been read by different In
structors in athletics, when President Jor-
dan said he waited to tell an interesting
story about one OF the great coaches Of
| the middle west.

the. coast by Water Camp OF Y ale" said
DIR. Jordan, .'and it was good start
Later we had Mr.. Yost, and we won our
great annual game with California the
year he was with us. That year there
came to the university a tall young giant.
who wanted to study mining engineering.
I Because Of his great earnestness he was
admitted to college on trial without the
4 usual requirements. He tried for the
courses and was dropped from college the
first term without having played on the
team.
"Yost left us and went east. He went
to Michigan, taking with him the young
giant who wanted to be a mining engi-
neer. He used that young man as the
! lcenter around which to build the. great
team which represented Michigan last
lyear. The young mans name is Gregory.
4 The sooner we get rid of college 1dlers
4 like Gregory, who go to college merely
d to play football, and Of irresponsible pro-
fessional coaches like Mr.. Yost. the sooner
our college athletics will be pure and free

Of railroads to move the coal from the
mines and recommended that the conven-

THE MAJOR GLENN TRIAL

Manila, Jan. 24.--The arguments in the
trial by court martial Of Major Edwin F.
Glenn OF the Fifth infantry, charged with
unlawfully killing prisoners of war;, were
heard to-day and the court submitted a
verdict which was believed to be an ac-
quittal. although the finding was not an
nounced.
Major Glenn at the opening Of the pro-
ceedings read an extended argument de-
voted to conditions In the island of Sanlar
and justification of the measures taken
to end the insurrection. Hesquoted many
war presidents ard authorities on the
laws Of war. 49, = IT, T., =. $500 :.
Major Walsh read the argument which
counsel. for the defense had Jointly pre-
pared contending that the men killed in
Samar were not prisoners of war and
that they were not executed by order of
Major Glenn. .,,.:"~ .%,.c= r, 5SsHs
Major Cooler for the prosecution, as
serted that Major Glenn was responsible
for the execution of the guides. He dis
credited the testimony Of the civilian
scouts to the effect that the guides were
killed while attempting to escape and
argued that Major Glenn exceeded his
rights when he forced natives to act first
as peace ENJOYS and then is guides.
Major Goodier also asserted that the
United States was not willing to force
an enemy under threat of death to dc
what it forbade it's own officers doing
under pain of death, and claimed that
Major Quigg had by mistake selected mer
to act as guides who did not know the
location of the enemy.

The Cuban Treaty a Discrimination
Against the British West

Indies.
A Cabinet Meeting Called in London
to See What. Can
w.. i Be Done.
An Appeal to Secretary Hay Gave
No Satisfaction-Retal-
z. iation, Maybe.

London, Jan. 24.-The reciprocity treaty
between Cuba and the United states
threatens to raise one Of the most ser1-
Gus differences Of opinion between Great
Britain and the United States that mas
occurred for years. So much import
ancc is attached to the matter that a
meeting of the cabinet is being specially
summoned to see what action can be
| taken There Is. Of course, no alarmlst
feeling to any possible stra ming OF
diplomatic relations but Great Britain
entire comercal policy Is believed to be
vitality concerned.
The matter came to a head through the
deputation from the chamber of COM
merce Of the United Kingdom which wait
ed upon Foreign Secretary Lansdowne
yesterday. 1t included several members
Of parliament and represented the most
powerful business interests from all the
British Industrial centers Replying to tho
delegates argument that all the advant-
ages which the government had gained
by securing the abolition Of the sugar
bounties would be sacrificed II the Cuban
reciprocity treaty became operative.
! Lord Lansdowne said he thoroughly
realized the gravity Of the situation and
| that Ambassador Herbert had forcefully
represented the British objections to the
treaty, pointing out that 1t was to all in
tents and purposes discrimination
against against all the British posses
| sions in the West Indies. .,-
Secretary Hays reply maintained that
| the United States was doing no more
than 1t had the right to do and ihtimated
that it had no intention Of modifying the
Cuban treaty. -.~- -
Lord Lansdowne added that all the in
formation available pointed to the fact
That the treaty would pass. but he an
nounced that the cabinet would consider
| IT anything further could be done.
The delegates said they understood that
| the treaty contains secret clause stipu-
lating that no further mea sures Of reci-
procity shall be undertaken by the United
States toward the British West Indies
If such was the case it was suggested to
! Lord Lansdowne that Great Britain would
be only within her rights in retaliatins
with increased duty on grain.
The foreign secretary gave no intina-
ton on this point. which apparently was
only suggested in, the hope that some OF
the members Of the cabinet who are re-
ported to be strongly In favor of a mora
pretectionist policy. might use. IT as q
