Alabama Students Take Highest Rank

Although the state of Alabama is about the bottom on the educational roll of states. it is noteworthy fact that the students of an Alabama institution have attained the highest distinction at a uni- versity whose standing of scholarship is unsurpassed by any in the world
 The Age-Herald has received a copy of a letter from the chairman of the faculty of the University of Virginia which says: During the past six years the university has awarded as many academical de- grees to graduates of the Marion Mill tary Institute as it has to those of any other college in the country. and acade- mcal and professional degrees to more graduates from the Marion Military In- stitute than to those from any other college or university outside of the state of Virginia" **s

PULLIAM TALKS
 ON INGRAM CASE
IF HE WAS WRONG IN TIMING M'GRAW HE SAYS HE HAS BEEN WRONG IN ALL THE DECISIONS HE HAS MADE.

Pittsburg Pa., June 12-Harry Pull liam, president of the National league, today made the following statement :n reference to the McGraw case:
 q much regret the outcome of the so- called McGraw litigation al Boston, not so much that 1t affects me personally or my future administration of affairs of the National league, but on account of the encouragement it gives to rowdyism in professional baseball
 There were three riots on baseball fields last week-one in the American league, one in the National league and one in the outlaw Tri-State league. As consequence, the manager of one club is now under bonds in a criminal court to keep the peace.
 Tn fining McGraw I simply followed the letter of the law as given me unani- mously by every National club owner. and if I was wrong in that case, 1 was wrong in every case I nave acted on during my three years administration. Judge Sheldon in Boston held that the Fleischmann resolution was dead for the reason that it was not re-enacted by the National league after the adoption of the new constitution. He held that under the Brush resolution any player removed from the game must be fined $10 with no appeal; but if I took any fur ther steps under section 2S of the consti- tuition, I give the player trial. I fined McGraw under the Fleischmann resolu- tion, as I did Dan McGann. and as long as 1 am president of the National league there cannot be one law for John Me Graw and another for Dan McGann.
 Following up Judge Sheidon's decision. on my return to New York I shall re- quest a meeting of the board of d.~.-t tors, and as a member of the board os direct ors I shall vote for the remission of every fine levied this year under the Fleischmann resolution where the pen alty was more than BIO"

SLACPILE NOTES

By fast base, running Moore beat out a hit yesterday afternoon. Tamsett secur- ed the ball in deep short, but not in time to catch Moore at first. He threw wild and Moore reached second on the error.
 Smith certainly has a big horse shoe hanging over his head. If an error is ever made by the opposing team 1t is while the tall one is trying to reach the initial bag It happened yesterday and resulted in two runs.
 The question being asked In Birming- ham is, How do the Barons manage to win all these games?'' The answer is simple. They are out-batting the visitors, our pitchers are in excellent condition and all are pitching four and five-hit games. The team is hanging together and playing like one man. There Is plenty of ginger in the game, and the team never admits defeat Taking these things into consideration and coupled with the fact that Manager Vaughan is using good head work. the question is easily answered.
 Little Rock comes this afternoon for a series of four games. The Travellers have been playing fine ball recently. and will probably give the Barons better argu- mont than any of the other western teams have done. Three out of the four Is the best that can be expected against Little Rock.
 Umpire Bassett offciated yesterday, and he was an improvement over the Rassett who umpired here earlier in the season.

Birmingham won her sixth straight game yesterday afternoon and the fifth straight game from the Memphians. The score was to 1. It was the same sweet. sweet story of the Barons soaking the ball on the nose with runners on the bags, and the inability of the visitors to find Ginger" Clarke for enough hits to earn even one run.
 Owing to the threatening weather the smallest crowd since the team came home was in attendance but those who did brave the elements were enthusiastic after the first three innings Early in the game "Ginger" was a little wild and the visitors secured one hit each in the second third and fourth innings, but af- ter that he had control and only allowed two hits In the fourth, Dungan, first up, secured a two-bagger, but Ginger held the next three men down and Dungan never reached third.
 Barons Started Something.
 The Barons failed to get away from the post until the fourth, when Father Vaughan soaked the ball to right field for two bags. Delehanty hit a long fly to center, making the second out. Whist Ter dropped a ball thrown to him to catch Smith at first. Vaughan reached third and Smith second on the error Matthews singled over second and both runners scored
 In the sixth Dungan hit for three bags to left field. The ball was relayed to Moore, who threw badly to third and allowed Dungan to score. The Barons, however, got that run back and another one in the last half of the same inning Miller led off with a hit over second for one bag, Vaughan sacrifed him to second and Delehanty hit for two bags between right and center field, scoring Miller Smith hit a hot grounder over second, which Walters stopped with one hand, but not in time to prevent Dele- hanty from scoring. Smith was caught trying to steal second and Matthews long fly to left retired the side.

PROTEST AGAINST THE EXCLUSION ACT Big Delegation Calls on the
 President AMERICAN TRADE INJURED President Promises to Take Up Mat ter With Secretary MetcaIf and to Try to Guard countrys
 Trade Interests.

Washington. June 12.-President Roose- welt held a conference today with about thirty members of the American Asatic association, representing the cotton tex tile industry and the iron and steel trade of the United States.
 The delegation entered a formal protest against such an enforcement of the Chin ese exclusion laws as might imperil the import trade of this country with China. It was pointed out that the commercial organizations of China were threatening to boycott American goods especially cot ton and steel products, unless arrange ments were made whereby Chinese mer- chants, students, literary men and trav- elers could enter the United States with out the serious difficulty which they en- counter. The Chinese urge that members of the classes which, under our exclusion laws, are permitted to enter the United States are often subjected to inconven- fence and humiliation by the immigration officers, and they insist upon a more lib- eral treatment of the exempt classes of their countrymen.
 The delegation was headed by John Ford of New York, secretary of the Amer ican Asiatic association, who made the following address:

Secretary Presents Case.

MT. President:
 The American Asiatic association is an organization formed to cooperate with this government in maintaining and de- lending the trade ad treaty rights of the United States in the countries of eastern Asia. Individually the members of this delegation speak for the cotton textile in- dustry of the' United States, representing $500,0O0,0 900 of invested capital and three hundred and fifty thousand wage earners whose prosperity and welfare are today absolutely dependent on the retention of the market for the products of that indus- try which have been opened in China; they speak for at least one department of the greater iron and steel industry Of the United States; they speak for a branch of our export trade which is growing more rapidly than any other, and whose value in the current fiscal year will probably exceed fifty million dollars.
 ''fhe occasion of this visit is to invite your attention to the present unsatisfac- tory character of our relations With the Chinese empire and the conditions grow ing out of those which, directly threaten the continuance of profitable and highly essential part of our commerce. The friendly character of these relations have been of late adversely affected by the ab- sence of a satisfactory immigration treaty between the United States and China, and by the dissatisfaction of the mercantile class in China with what they conceive to be unjust and oppressive operation of the rules adopted and enforced by the immigration officers of the United States in dealing with their countrymen whom our laws declare entitled to visit this country.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-06-13
President Responds Cordially.

President Roosevelt responded cordially. He took exception to the intimation that the immigration officers were too insist ent on the enforcement of the law, but in other respects agreed with the delega- tion that 1t would be proper for this government to encourage friendly rela- tions with China He proposed to do all in his power to promote our trade with China and to promote. generally the ex- port trade of American producers, farm CTS as we'll as manufacturers He prom ised to take up the subject with Sec retary Metcalf of the Department of Commerce and Labor and other officials and do all he possibly could to remedy the difficulty.
