BRIGHT OUTLOOK AT
GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS

New York. Selt. 1.-THE prospects
at the three government schools for
good football teams are excellent. West
Point and the Carlisle Indians especial
ly should be strong, as both not only
have nearly all their old men back, but
a host of new material that is very
promising. With Woodruff coaching
the Indians. they should have the best
chance in their career to win laurels
against the big teams. The meeting OF
these two teams in the game scheduled
at West Point should afford one OF the
most interesting games Of the year.
Annapolis Is. on the face Of present
conditions, Outclasseu by both, but the
Middies have better prospects than last
year They will have better coaching
this year than last, and ought to pre-
sent a good front by the time they meet
the army men.

PRESIDENT SPENDS
 THE DAY ON PICNIC
Did Not Learn of the Serious Disturb ances In Tokio Until Late ln the
 Afternoon.

Oyster Bay, l.. l., September 7.--Not un- til late this evening did the President learn of the serious disturbances In Tokio. The information was in the form of the dispatch to the Associated Press. He ex- pressed concern over the situation that had developed over the riots, but had no comment to make on them.
 Thus far 1t Is said officially no ad- vices have been received from Minister Griscom at Tokio, or from any other official source In Japan regarding the anti-peace demonstrations. Such advices as might be received naturally would go to the state department, but it is quite certain that any information of serious character would be transmitted immedi- ately to the President. No advices have yet reached President Roosevelt.
 The President was absent from Saga more Hill the entire day. About o'clock this morning, accompanied by Mrs. Roose- welt and their children, and by several other members of the Roosevelt family who reside in the vicinity of sagamore Hill. he left his home for an outing. The party spent the day at Jaynes Hill, the highest point on Long Island, about nine miles from Sagamore Hill. The President and family did not return home until 6 n, clock this afternoon

Baron komura Wants to See Secretary
 Root on Purely Formal Matters.

New York, September 7.-Baron Komura said today that his coming interview with Secretary Root, which he expected would occur in New York City. either Friday or Saturday of this week. would be pure ly formal exchange of courtesIes, and that their meeting had no other ab- ject The baron denied emphatically the rumor that the Emperor of Japan had not yet given his approval to the peace treaty or that the powers of the Japanese plenipotentiaries were so limited that there was at this late hour still a possi- bility that the Emperor would fail to rat fly the treaty.
 "The political disturbances in Tokio," he said. ''cannot in the slightest degree influence the Emperor's determination to ratify the treaty when he receives an of ficial copy of the document"
 Baron Komura reiterated his opinion that the disturbances In Tokio were di- rected against the local branches of the government.
