MR.. SAVAGE
IS SATISFIED
FINDS. NO FAUIRs WITH RULINGS
OF TROTTING ASSOCIATIONS.
Owner of Dan Patch Contented with
Action Taken in Regard to Records
Made with Dirt Shields and Pace
makers in .Front-Only Wanted De-
cisive Action. E-F'~+ - -

M. w. Savage, owner of Dan Patch,
1:56A, this morning expressed him
self as satisfied with the ruling OF the
committee of the National Trott1ng
association, American Trottlng asso-
citation, and American Trottlng Regls-
ter association, in regard to the rec
ords of Lou Dillon, Dan Patch and
other horses, made during the past
season. ,
The committee decided to allow no
records made with wind shields, and
to allow records made with pace
maker in front, with dirt shield, but IN
the latter case, the time will be re-
corded with a distinguishing mark,
which will indicate the conditions un-
der which the mark was made. Ihis
throws out such records as Prince
Alert's 18TH and Major Delmar,s
900, both of which were made with
wind breaking shields.
ct am quite satisfied, SAID Mr..
Savage, 'since the committee has al
lowed the records made by Dan Patch:
| I do not care about the requirement
that these marks shall be recorded
| with a distinguishing symbol. Al l
decision made, and to have the times
| decision made, and to have me tlme
allowed as records. I was also anx-
| ious that distinction should be made
| between a wind shield, such as that
| used by Prince Alert when he paced
| in 1:57A, and dirt shield, such as
those used by Dan Patch and Lou Dill
| Ion.
.'The purpose of driving. a. runner
| in front Of horse in trial against
! time is simply to incite him to great
efforts. Naturally a spirited horse Will
try to overtake the animal ahead OF
him. The so-called shield is simply
| to keep the pacemaker from throwing
| dirt in the face of the PAGER. 1t serves
no purpose as a windbreak.
| Mr.. Savage expressed no surprise
at the committees decision in throw
ing out the record Of Lou Dillon to a
high sulky. Everyone expected that
this mark would be disallowed," he
said. ''McHenry, the driver. OF Dan
Patch, told Mr.. Billings when Lou
Dillon was sent against the record OF
Maud S., that it was foolish to use
| ball-bearing sulky. do not know why
| such a sulky was used, perhaps be-
| cause it happened to be at hand.
am rather surprised at the reason al
|leged for throwing out the record. The
| committee says that the fact thai
Lou Dillon had previously performed
in faster time precluded slower per
Torrance being a record. This is like
saying that Lou billions record tc
wagon could not stand, because the
time was slower than her work tc
sulky short while before. 1t looks az
If the committee had evaded the is
sue It will make no difference event
ually, because Mr.. Billings undoubt'
edly will send Lou Dillon agains
Maud SIS record this year, and vii
break it under any conditions the au
thorities may impose.

principal. Four hours, without intermis-
sion, shall be allowed the contestants and
the same precautions which are employed
in the ordinary examination shall be used
to insure original work from the student.
w. The composition shall be entirely in
the Students handwriting and no correc-
tions shall be allowed after it is delivered
to the superintendent The paper shall be
judged in writing, spelling, capitalization,
punctuation, sentence structure, para
graphing, thought literary merit and ev-
erything that goes to make excellence in
English composition.
V. For the purpose of concealing the
name, sex and school Of the writer each
paper shall be signed with a number con-
tanning not less than five figures. 1t shall
be accompanied by a plain sealed en-
velop containing the number the writer
has used, his name and address.

VIII. The prize paper shall be pub

the High School Magazine.
The impossibility Of framing rules that
will compel honesty in contest of this
kind must be apparent to everyone We
therefore appeal to the honor Of all super
intendents in the league We ask them
in the interest of good morals and better
English in their schools, to carry out the
contest in the manner in which it is plain
ly intended.
Edward Eugene McDermott.
Undoubtedly the awarding Of this
prize on the occasion of the final de-
bate at the university chapel will
contribute much to the interest of that
occasion, as it is altogether probable
that the winner of the essay prize will
be the representative of some other
school than either of those represented
in the final debate. 1t will be noted
that the rules are carefully contrived
so as to compel original work-not
that the pupils are not expected tc
study the subject very thoroly before
the time for writing arrives. but just
what views of it will be presented fol
their consideration will not be known
until the hour arrives in which to dc
the writing. This makes it practically
impossible for any one to prepare If
advance anything for use in that way

Some of the high school pupils Of the
state have felt that they were placed
at little disadvantage by T h e
] u n a Is prize cup for skill in de-
batting. Its not that they have any
fault to find with the plan for. the
bate by the offer of a handsome prize.
They only regret that Finasmuch as
they have not skill in debating but
have more aptitude for writing, they
have not had an opportunity to enter
contest along that line.
The Journal recognizes the
propriety of stimulating effort on the
part of young writer's and the en-
couragement of original work. It has
been working along that line among
the public schools of the northwest for
great many years thru the Journal
Junior, and has enlisted the support
and Endorsement of the teachers in
nearly every town in the northwest.
The work done by the writer's for the
Journal Junior is necessarily original.
The topics assigned are such that the
writer's cannot possibly crib or borrow
from histories, encyclopedias and the
| magazines. The teachers testify to
| the value of the work because of the
stimulus it gives to original compost
ton.
But this paper, not satisfied with
what it is doing thru the Journa
Junior, responds to the request Of the
high school pupils for contest similar
to that conducted under the auspices

WAS NO PLOT TO KILL
PRESIDENT L0UBET.
Threat Regarded as but the VapOr-
ing of n Priest.

Threat Regarded as but the VapOr-
ing of n Priest.
Rome, April 25.-The report sent
from Rome to Berlin, printed in the
Tageblatt of that capital and circulat-
ed on the Boerse (and which was also
circulated in the United States), that
there was a plot against the life of
President Loubet and that an attempt
had been made to dssassinate him, is
without foundation.
The report may perhaps have origi-
mated in the fact that a French priest
went to the Office of the Italia where,
becoming excited, he cried that he had
come to Rome to kill President Loubet.
The editor of the Italia sent for the
police, but before they arrived, the
priest had disappeared The police
then arrested several priests, but in
none of them could the staff of the
Italia recognize the excited clergyman
who had visited the office.
All search for this priest has proved
unavailing. Nobody, however, attaches
Importance to the incident.
Those surrounding the Pope assert
that he has expressed his intention to
protest against the visit of President
Loubet to Rome, on the ground that
it is the first occasion on which the
head of a Catholic country has visited
the Quirinal since the fall of the tenn
poral power of the Popes. 1t is not
known when or under what form the
protest will be issued.

WHY MACHEN DELAYED
INJUNCTION PETITION.

valdosta, Ga. April 25.--It leaked out
here to-day why the prayer for a re-
straining order to prevent the Atlantic
and Birmingham Railroad from
taking possession of the Bruns-
wick and Birmingham was not
made early in April. when the
merger was first announced.
Mr.. Pope S. Hill of Macon, member
of the firm of Harris, Dessau & Harris,
is here attending the federal court, and
he stated this afternoon that Mr..
Machen, who filed the bill, was i'll
when the merger was announced and
that when he recovered from his sick
ness ne telegraphed Mr.. N. E. Harris.
an old associate in the construction of
the road from Macon to Athens, to go
to Brunswick. Mr.. Machen stated
that he had secured concessions for
the road, had borrowed money from
Mrs. Gould to pay for labor, had
bought rations and secured subscrip-
tions to the stock in the enterprise on
the faith which his friends had in him.
While he held claim against the
road for his own services, 1t was
stated that he was more particular
about protecting those who had aided
him in the enterprise, and so the in
junction was sought.

BODIES OF JAPANESE
ARE CROSSING THE YALU.

st. Petersburg, April 25.-The En-
peror has received the following tele-
gram from Gen. Kuropatkin:
Gen. sassulitch reports, under date
of April "a, that during recent days
the japanese have been observed land
ing pontoon material and collecting
boats in preparation for the construc-
ton of bridges in the neighborhood of
Wiju and also near the village of
Sigou, ten miles further up the river
ION April 2S. a Japanese detachment,
consisting of two companies of infan-
try and a small body of cavalry, cross
ed the Yalu, ten miles below Siaopous-.
sikhe. Gen. Sassulitch Immediately
reinforced the cordons on our front.
Small parties of the enemy were seen
preparing to cross elsewhere in that
vicinity.
"All is quiet south of the Yalu."

THROWS HIS CAVALRY
ACROSS YALU RIVER

st. Petersburg, April 25.-Gen. Kuro-
patkin has played a strong card in
the game of strategy. A large portion
of Gen. Rennenkampff's Cossack cav
airy division has been thrown across
the upper reaches of the Yalu, and
considerable force of cavalry, which
crossed the Tumen some time ago is
moving down to the southwest, to eff
feet a juncture with it. Together with
this force. which, it is believed, totals
1000 men, he will threaten Lieut.. Gen.
Inouye's left flank when the Japanese
are ready to cross lower down on the
Yalu.
Being composed of cavalry, with a
few mountain guns, Rennenkampff 8
force is extremely mobile. Unless it
should be dislodged, it will compel the
Japanese to leave a very strong army
to guard the communications, whereas
if a Japanese force should be sent to
drive it out it would have to move di-
rectly away from the main army, while
the Russian army, if compelled to fall
back, can recross in the direction of
the Russian troops concentrated in
Manchuria

Rome, April 25.-President Louhet of
France, who arrived in Rome yester-
day, went with a royal cortege to the
Pantheon to-day to lay wreaths on the
tombs of King Victor Emmanuel II and
King Humbert. He was received by
veterans of the italian army.
A gala dinner was given in honor of
President Loubet at the Quirinal this
evening, The King, in proposing the
health of President Loubet, said that
the heart of italy beat in unison with
his in welcoming the representatives of
the generous French nation. Agree
ment between the governments was
easy, his majesty said, and by con-
tributing to the maintenance of peace
and signing the arbitration and labor
treaties they had guaranteed the polit-
ical and strengthened the social peace.
President Loubet in expressing his
gratitude for his majesty's words, and
for the magnificent reception accorded
him by the Romans, declared that the
affinities uniting the two countries
would always keep them friends.
