ALMOST ENDED.
Controversy About Mrs.. Bailey's CO.
lumbar University, Degree.

The trouble between the male candidates
for the degree of D. C. I. and the faculty Of
Columbian University, which arose because
of the decision of the university authorities
to grant degree to woman member Of the
class, and mention of which has been made
in The Star, seems to be almost at an end
Including the woman candidate for the doc
tors degree, the class consists of nine per-
sons. It was stated at the beginning of
the controversy that seven members of the
class would refuse to publicly receive their
degree in case the faculty did not rescind
its action regarding the woman candidate.
Three of the male members of the class
announced subsequently that they would ap-
pear and receive their degrees. On
Saturday Messrs. e. C. Dutton and
John X. Hench declared their intention t.
present themselves. Thus to date five
members Of the class have avowed their in
tention of submitting to the win Of the
faculty in the matter. But three other can
didates remain to be heard from. One Of
these. however, Mr.. Calderon, was re-
ported as having taken no part in the con-
tention OF the class.

AWARD OF DIPLOMAS.
Graduation Exercises at Phoebe Hearst
Training School.

Diplomas were awarded to the graduates
Of the Phoebe Hearst kindergarten and
Training School Friday afternoon at 5
o'clock. at 1913 K street northwest, by Mr.
Edward Howard Griggs who also delivered
an address to the young ladies composing
the graduating class.
The graduates were Miss Thea Adams
Miss Grace Alden, Miss Jenny Davis Miss
Margaret Kennedy. Miss Blanche wilgus
Miss Mary Wilkins and Miss Irene Zeiders
Miss Estelle Church was granted diploma
for a years postgraduate work in the
school.
Mr.. Griggs urged upon the young ladies
the importance of using the spare moments
of life to good purposes. The manner in
which spare time is spent determines the
kind of person one is. Life differs more
in quality than quantity. Some people,
said the speaker. employ large share of
their spare time In worrying. This Is q
drain on the mental faculties and a detri-
ment to the Individual.
Among the designations In which one can
indulge easily. said the speaker, are news
papers, lectures and church attendance
He declared when the mind is stimulated,
and the person is moved to no expression
of that stimulation afterward. the person
is far worse than IL he had not been slim
ulated.
After the presentation of diplomas the
members OF the class rendered several
musical selections.

YALE WON BY HALF POINT.
Intercollegiate Championship Meet
Crowded With Excitement.

Crowded With Excitement.
Yale won the intercollegiate champion
ship cup at New York. Saturday. in a most
exciting meet by half point from Har-
ward. The result of the meet was in doubt
until after the running Of the last event,
in which Harvard would have had to get
the first two places to win. Lightner OF
Harvard did win. but Schick, who had
broken down after the finish of the 1OO-yard
dash, was beaten out by Moulton of Yale.
thus giving Yale the victory. Yale now
has permanent possession of the challenge
cup, having won it six times to Harvard's
four and Pennsylvania four in the last
fourteen years.
The 1OO-yard run went to Duffey of
Georgetown. while Reilly. also of George
town finished second in the 44O yards run.
Beck of Yale won the shot-put and made
a new record of forty-six feet. The old fig
ures. made Saturday by the same man.
were forty-four feet eleven and half
inches W. E. Schutt of Cornell won the
two-mile run in $40. breaking the intercol-
legiate and collegiate records for the dis
lance Alex Grant Of Pennsylvania was
the former record holder at 9.51 3-5.
H. L. Gardner Of Syracuse won the pole
vault clearing the bar at II feet inches,
euualing the record made last year by D.
g. Horton OF Princeton. VINO merely tied for
third this time.
Protest was made by Manager Clark of
the Harvard track team to Referee James
E. Sullivan against awarding second place
in the 1OO-yard dash to F. r. Moulton Of
Yale. Clark claimed that Schick of Har-
ward and not Moulton of Yale, was sec
ond Thomas F. O'Brien. who judged the
second-place man. was positive Moulton
was second. and w. ]. Swan of the New
York Athletic Club. who picked the third
man, was equally positive that Schick was
third. The protest goes to the executive

MOTOR RACES INCLUDED.
Several in the Coliseum's Opening Meet
Next Thursday.


The June 4 opening motor cycle meet Oh
the Coliseum, corner of 14th ana East
Capitol streets. will not be postponed
owing to the death of Harry Elkes, VINO was
to have been one Of the contestants as
Manager Klosterman has arranged to SUD-
stitute another noted rider, who VIII meet
George Leander and Bonnie Monroe the
other two contestants. The Elkes accident,
although deplorable. is not an unusual oc-
currence, and Is provided against by the
employment of such wellknown substitutes
as Freeman, Mcfarland, Melting and
others. -
1t has been found by Manager kloster-
man that 1t will be possible to incluoe
motor races In the opening meet next
Thursday night. This addition to the pre-
pared program will be received with the
greatest satisfaction by the patrons OF
the thrilling sport. as there Is no oouDt Iha'
motor races are vastly popular, particular
ly as they are better understood. SO 1ar as
the conditions of a contest are concerned,
by the uninitiated public. The dlnerence
between the motor races ana the moeoi
paced can, however, be readily explained
as the former consist solely of race be-
tween the motormen who pace the bicycle
riders. Each motor cycle Is mounted Dy
two sturdy motormen, and as they aoo the
power of their muscular legs and seasoned
endurance to the machines they attain a
degree of speed that can be likened to that
of locomotives racing on parallel tracks.
Manager Klosterman anticipated much
difficulty in being able to arrange for the
inclusion of motor races in the regular meet
program as, owing to the speed in the mo-
tor races and the gameness of the contest
ants the motormen are somewhat aVerse
to giving a race, as they feel that me prize
or purse no matter how great. hardly com.
pensates them for the imminent risk OF
their lives.
1t is fact that the motormen In such
contests take their lives in their hands
when they mount their machines, ana not
one of them has any certainty at the out
set that he will leave the track alive. But
since last season so many improvements
have been made in the motor cycles. all
tending to minimize the danger of acct
dents and collisions, that Mr.. klosterman,
by making liberal Inducements. has been
able to obtain the consent of the managers
of the teams that will take part in the
Coliseum meets this summer whereby there
will be introduced at each meet a motor
race between the pace makers of the three
principal contestants.

ON mount M'K|NLEY
The Highest Peak In America Which
Dr.. Cook Failed to Climb.
Something About This veritable
Mountain Giant Located In the
Interior of Alaska-Center
OF Alaskan Range.

Mount Mckinley, which DR.. Frederick
A. Cook and his party have just an
nounced their failure to ascend, Is the
Hottest peak on the American CONT
nent, and part Of the Alaskan range,
described as being the Hottest and most
rugged mountain range in Alaska. This
range Is part of the mountain system
which incloses Cook inlet, although
Mount Mckinley is a considerable dis
lance in the interior. The approximate
average height of the ranges is from
5000 to 10000 feet, sharply serrated and
relieved by numerous peaks $4,000 to
$4,000 feet in altitude and with Mt. Nj
Kinley towering over all the othe'
snow-crowned heads at an elevation Of
20,464 feet.
West of Mount Mckinley about 30 and
so miles respectively, in the same range,
