NEW TRACK FOR NEW ORLEANS
NOW SEEMS A CERTAINTY
Crescent City Jockey Club Sure to Have
Opposition Next Seaaon

New Orleans, March 19.-The season
now nearing an end is the last in
which the Crescent City Jockey Club
will have a monopoly on the winter
pacing game at New Orleans. Before
next Thanksgiving Day a new track
will be ready for business here. and
the Crescent City Jockey Club will
have the alternative of dividing dates
with new association or of going into
a fight which will mean a survival of
the fttest.
When the announcement was made
several weeks ago that a new track
would be built this year the statement
was not taken very seriously. and even
after one of the most prominent law
yers Of this city had made public the
fact that he. acting as agent for
syndicate, had bought a hundred -acre
tract of land on the outskirts of the
city. for race track purposes. some of
the more ardent of the Crescent City
Jockey Clubs adherents still made
light Of the talk of new track. In the
meantime people interested in the ven-
ture have been quietly al work secur-
ing subscriptions to the capital stock
of the proposed association. until now
il is said about 5000, 600 has been sub
scribed here in New Orleans, and $780,
900 worth of the stock is being held in
the East
A partial list of the local subscrib-
ers contains the names of the most
prominent business men of the city,
including three bank presidents, the
head of one Of the largest dry goods
establishments in New Orleans, a num-
Der of big cotton exchange operators

HARVARD FOOTBALL
SCHEDULE COMPLETED.

Brown, Wesleyan and Amherst
Have Been Dropped From the List.
The Harvard football schedule for
next fall has been completed, and for
warded TO the Athletic Committee BY
Capt. Daniel J. Hurley. 1t contains
only ten games. and is radically diff
ferent from that of other years. Brown.
Amherst and Wesleyan having been
dropped.
The recent controversy over the ELI
gibility rules for baseball players at
Brown in no way affected Harvard's
dropping Brown from the football
schedule. Two games will be played
this spring in baseball as heretofore.
II simply was impossible TO fit Brown
into the proper place in the schedule.
Amherst was dropped because an exor-
bitant guarantee was demanded, and
not, as has been stated, because Am
herst beat Harvard last year. Wes-
leyan's game was not considered prac-
tical and, therefore, was eliminated.
There are only two Wednesday dates,
and the reduction of the schedule from
twelve games to ten is another i'm
portant innovation of the new system
under Coach Wrightington. The sched-
ule follows:
Saturday, Oct. 1-Williams, at Cam
bridge.
Wednesday. Oct. 5-Bowdoin. at Cam
bridge.
Saturday Oct S-University of
Maine. at Cambridge.
Wednesday, Oct. 12-Bates, at Cam

GERMANS GROW BRUTAL.
So BebeI Declares in Discussing the
HererOs.

Berlin, March 19.-In the Reichstag
to-day Herr Bebel, the Socialist lead
er, returned to the German campaign
against the Hereros. which, he said,
had taken on a character prejudicial
to Germany's interests and honor, since
all Hereros were killed and no pris-
oners were taken. He referred to d
letter from a veterinary surgeon, DR..
Baumgart, in the Leipsic Neueste
Nachrichten, asserting that no quarter
was given, and that every black was
shot down. DR.. Baumgart himself
boasting that he had massacred wound
ed men, like a cannibal.
Therein can be seen," Herr Bebel
continued, "how far even our educated
people are becoming brutalized."
DR.. Arendt, Conservative, questioned
the veracity of the writer of the letter
Herr Bebel had mentioned. Private
letters, DR.. Arendt added, are often
filled with vain boasting.
The supplementary credits for South
west Africa were then voted.

A HALT FOR TURKEY

Looking on.

May BE Called by the Powers Now
Looking on.
Paris, March 19.-It is the expecta-
ton in official quarters that France
and the other signatories of the Ber-
lin treaty will unite in emphatic repre-
sentations to Turkey against carrying
out the Sultan's plans for the suppress
sion and probable determination of a
considerable portion of the Armenians.
The government is in possession of
much information showing the nature
of the troubles and Turkeys intentions
in dealing with them. This informa-
tion shows that some reports of the
atrocities have gone too far, but even
the conservative view indicates the
necessity of staying Turkeys hand
within a month, as the main programme
for the suppression is to commence
about a month hence.

IMPROVEMENT OF CUBA
Is Told by Admiral Dewey, just
Back From the Island

Washington, March 19.-Admiral
Dewey, who returned yesterday from
the naval maneuvers in Southern wa
ters, called on President Roosevelt to-
day to present to him a personal mes
sage of good will from President PalEIa
of Cuba. The admiral told the Pres
ident that the people of the new re-
public were notably prosperous, and
that both President Palma and the
Cuban people attributed their prosper
ity to the government of the United
States.
Admiral Dewey expressed his pleas
ure at the conditions in the island as
he himself had observed them. He
said the sugar crop this year would
aggregate a million tons, and the to-
bacco output was greater than ever
before. Lawlessness was being re-
pressed sternly by the excellent rural
guard; and great care was being given
to the sanitation of the cities. He
thought Havana was really more
healthful than most American cities of
equal size.
Barring the accident to the Illinois,
the admiral said the maneuvers We're
successful and immensely helpful to
the navy.

REASONS FOR COLLAPSE
of the Steel Building Set Forth in a
Report to jerome.

New York, March 19.-"Faulty" de-
signs and carelessness and neglect in
erection is given as the primary cause
of the collapse of the Hotel Darling
ton, which resulted in the loss of more
than twenty lives, in the report of
II. DeBeers Parsons, which was sub
m.tted to-day to District Attorney
Jerome.
The report shows that the collapse of
the structure was actually due to the
lack of lateral support for the columns
which permitted them to act as long
columns" in which the ratio of length
TO lease radius of gyration exceeded
the limit for safety. The columns
were found to be of fairly good ma
terial, but fractures at the flanges
exhibited blowholes and honey-comb-
ing in many instances.

A severe wind visited Douglas Island last night; at times the blasts were harder than anything experienced here last winter. The grand stand at Rec reation park succumbed and this morn ing lies a mass of broken boards. The studding and rafters for the second story and roof of the Swedish Evan oelical Lutheran Church were torn from their position and hurled into the street. Windows were smashed, fences blown down, and electric light and tel ephone wires are scattered all over the town. The lumber piles at the saw mill also suffered. John Gauftin's sloop was blown ashore near Ed. Ehrlich's store.
