PRIZES FOR YOUNG MEN
HOW THE CECIL RHODES SCHOLAR
SHIPS WILL BE AWARDED.
superintendent Fassett A. Cotton Re-
cefves Interesting Information as
to Examination OF Applicants.

Fassett A. Cotton, state superintendent.
of public instruction. has received some in
teresting Information in regard TO the Cecil
Rhodes scholarships and the manner in
which they will be awarded in this State.
Mr.. Cotton met one of the members of the
conference which was held in Chicago
some time ago, and at which plans for hold
ing the examinations in the Northwestern
composed of college presidents from the
different States.
In talking with this member of the con-
ference, f. l.. Kelly, president of Earlham
College, Mr.. Cotton learned that the exam
nations to decide who shall receive the
scholarships from Indiana will be conducted
by board composed of one professor, or
president, from every college in the State.
This board will probably not make up the
examination questions, but it will make all
arrangements for the examination, send
out information in regard to it and prac-
tically conduct the whole proceedings.
SOPHOMORES PREFERRED.
The examination will be held in the early
part Of next year. probably in January or
February, and the questions will be sub
mitted to the different applicants at the
various colleges. 1t is stated that those who
are preferred to take the examinations are
young men who have just finished their
sophomore year at college and in whom
the habits of life are not yet fixed. High
school graduates will be allowed to take
the examination, but they have small
chance of being successful, the questions
are very stiff. Much emphasis will be laid
on Latin and unless the applicant is well
grounded in that language he will not
stand much show of being accepted. Math-
The scholastic grade made in the exam
ination will count 40 per cent, while the
physical and moral condition of the person
will make up the remaining 60 per cent. in
the final test.
Young men are more desirable to take
of winning as they will be more easily
nodded. No student will be allowed to take
the examination who intends TO settle OF
remain in England after his course in the
universities there. The successful persons
must be sympathetic students of Anglo
Saxon life. The students who go from
this country must also be of indisputable
moral characters and must be perfectly
physical and upright men.
This method of choosing those who shall
receive the scholarships will be used in
most of the Northwestern States as a re-
suit of the Chicago conference. 1t is de-
fined that student living in Illinois and
going TO college in Indiana will be credited
to Indiana and will take the examinatio
arranged by that board. In Massachusetts
the examination is arranged by President
cut, President Hadley of Yale conducts the
examination

HICKEY AND SEXTON
THE PEACEMAKERS
League Presidents to Offer Olive
Branch to California League.

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-A meeting of
the national board of arbitration, the
governing body Of minor league base
ball. was begun here today. President
2. L. Powers presided.
The board at this meeting will map
out a course to be pursued in the con-
ference between the American, Nation
al and minor league organizations rel
at1ve to the drawing up Of a new ma
t1onal agreement.
There is said to be no doubt but the
National association will demand an
equal representation upon the propos-
ed new national board with the Ameri-
can and National leagues. Under the
old regime the old national board OF
the National league settled all disputes
between clubs and players Of the minor
leagues, and the latter had no repre-
sentatives on the board.
L. j. Hickey, president of the Ameri-
can association, was present at the
meeting by invitation.
The afternoon session was spent in
discussing the California war. The
California league has made all ar
rangements for placing clubs in Seattle
and Portland, territory that has al
ways been taken by the Pacific North
west league. The Pacific Northwest
organization has protested against the
invasion to the National association.
Secretary Farrell was ordered to tele-
graph to each club member of the
Western league asking postponement
Of the annual meeting of the league,
which is scheduled for Denver, March
2, and for permission to have Presi-
dents Sexton and Hickey go to Cali
fornia as members of a committee of
the National association to straighten
out the impending trouble. Secretary
Farrell said tonight that in case the
committee was unsuccessful in it's mis-
sion work in California, arrangements
would be made at once to make war
upon the California organization by
placing rival clubs in San Francisco,
Oakland, Los Angeles and Sacramento,
the present circuit of the California
league.
The board will continue it's session
tomorrow.

Bowen Won't Go to The Hague.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb. 1S.-It
does not seem at all probable at this
time that Herbert w. Bowen, United
States minister to Venezuela, will go
to The Hague in connection with the
proceedings before that tribunal. He
is not willing to resign as minister for
the purpose of going to The Hague,
and the rules Of the state department
prohibit the granting of more than
sixty days leave of absence in any one
year to diplomatic officers. The i'm
preston also obtains that the state
department is not overanxiouS for Mr..
Bowen to attend, as his presence at
The Hague might cause a belief that
the United States is overzealous on
behalf Of Venezuela.
