MEET TO BUILD UP
SOUTHERN STATES
Governor of North Carolina
Addresses Industrial
Parliament.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The Southern
Industrial Parliament, having for its OBJ
ject the exchange of ideas regarding the
best means of directing attention to the
resources, industries and climatic condi-
tions of the South, was formally opened
here to-day. Delegates were in attend
ance from every Southern State.
Governor Robert Glenn of North Caro-
lima was elected presiding officer. In the
opening address he aroused his audience
TO high pitch of enthusiasm when he
denounced the methods of certain in1mi-
grafton agents of Western railroads to
turn the tide of settlement from the
south by picturing the Southern States in
lines of black in order to show that the
negroes have superiority over the whites.
He said there was great demand in the
South for laborers.
In the South, the Governor added, the
negroes are given every legal right they
are entitled to, but" he said. there
is one distinction, one line we draw, and
that is the line Of social equality" That,
he proclaimed, could never be.

PANAMA COMMISSION
BEGINS BUYING ABROAD
Consignment Of Pig Lead
Purchased in England
y for the Canal.
Special Dispatch to Tn. CAN.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING,
WASHINGTON, May 25.-It was the pig
lead trust and not the steel trust which
prompted the Isthmian Canal Commission
to buy its supplies from whatever coun-
try they could be obtained the most
cheaply.
Moreover, despite reports that the
commission had "back-tracked" In its
policy, it In a fact that 100000 pounds
of pig lead required in the work will
soon be delivered at Colon from Eng
land.
It was decided that there was no au-
thority by which the character of the
supplies could be restricted to those of
American manufacture.
At present a treaty with Panama stip-
ulates that there may be entered duty
free at Colon or Panama or other Pan
ANA ports any supplies required by the
United States in building or maintaining
the canal. There is no restriction re-
garding the countries whence these sup
plies come.
1t was ascertained to-day that the
Panama Commission had recently paid
S25 ton for one lot of $500 tons OF steel
rails and SIG 45 for another lot of 300
tons. They came from the Maryland
Steel Company at Sparrows Point, Nd,
and the difference in cost was due to the
different points of delivery stipulated. 1t
is said that the same rails can be pur-
chased abroad for 500 ton.

LOSE FORTUNES
IN ALASKA OIL
After Spending S1.00O,000 in
Development Work Con-
Germs Find Wells Failures
ENGLISHMEN SUFFERERS
Standard Escapes by Acting
on Advice of Expert, Who
Made all Adverse Report
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, May 23.-Three years Of
development work have shown tnat
the oil fields about Kyak and Catella
in Alaska, will not rival those OF
Pennsylvania. Something like $1,000
eco has been spent by various compa-
nies in exploring for oil without tan
giole results, according TO reports re-
ceived from Kyak
The leading development work has
been taken by the Pacific Coast Coal
and Oil Company, operating on lands
leased from the Alaska Development
Company. The Pacific Coast Coal and
OH Company is known as an English
company, its stockholders including Sir
Edward Stracy Of London and Nc
dian Northern Railroad.
Two years ago they struck a gusher
at a depth of 900 feet, but it yields
only five barrels daily The company
is now withdrawing from oil explora-
ton after spending 100000. Its ex-
perts find that the strata is so broken
as TO prevent any pressure on the oil
below, and in consequence there is no
how
number Of other large companies
have had the same experience in the
Kyak field. About two years ago a
California oil expert named Worthing-
ton visited the Alaska oil fields, rep
resenting the Standard oil Company.
His report did not warrant operations
there by that company.

COLLEGES ARE CHARGED
WITH SUBSIDIZING ATHLETES
All the Prominent Institutions of
Learning Come In for a Grilling
by Eastern Writer.

NEW YORK, May 23.-That American
universities barter in the open market
for young men who give promise of ex
ceiling in athletics is charged in an arti-
Gle published in McClure's Magazine for
June under the title, THE College Ath
iete: How Commercialism is Making Him
Professional Henry Beach Needham,
the writer, names the most prominent
Amerincan institutions in his article and
cites individual cases in support of his
contention that the system prevails
which makes professional athletes out of
college boys. 1t is charged that colleges
subsidize athletes in order to secure
teams which shall shine in intercollegiate
contests. Victory means an advertise
ment for the college which has purchased
men who will insure winning team.
Actual money transactions between
athlete and college which bids for him
are concealed, it is alleged, by induce
ments" but which are of such substan-
tial character that they amount to sub
sidizing In illustration of this the case
of James T. Hogan, famous captain and
right tackle of Yale's champion football
eleven, is cited. When Hogan entered
Exeter he was a poor boy and was given
a chance to work his way through school.
Harvard, Princeton and Yale all joined
in competition for this promising ath-
lete. and Yale secured him because Of
inducements"
The career Of Hogan has been one Of
marked success. He occupies suite in
Vanderbilt Hall, the most luxurious Of
Yale dormitories, and takes his meals at
the University Club, an expensive under
graduate organization. Initiation fees
and dues are remitted in special cases,
however. Besides enjoying an interest in
the score card privileges, Hogan's In
come is augmented by commissions paid
him by the American Tobacco Company.
Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Pennsylva-
MIA and, in fact all the colleges whose
gate receipts from athletic contests total
into thousands are charged with COM
mercialsm.

mond to show their young successors that
they still knew the game

six innings and revived enough of his old
curves TO fan out half dozen men. He
kept the hits down to four. He was re-
lieved in the seventh inning by Paul
Parker, 1903, who also demonstrated that
he had not lost his efficiency He al
lowed only two runs. '.Chet'' Murphy,
1900. still famous as an all-round man in
Stanford athletics. did the best stick
work in the game, pounding out a three
bagger in the fourth inning that brought
three runs to the tally board. AL Nc
Gilvray, varsity catcher in 1901-1902, also
hit heavily throughout the game. Dehy
and Luce divided honors in the box for
the seniors, but the alumni found their
curves easily and hit repeatedly from the
start Several singles and a couple of
three-baggers OF Dehy ran the score up
to nine runs by the sixth inning, The
seniors were unable to overcome this
lead, but limited the tallies of their op
ponents to two for the last three innings.
