Away With Violent Forms
of Sport.

Philadelphia, May 16.-The Friends year
ly meeting in session here today discussed
the question of athletics In schools and
colleges. DR.. Richard Darlington. a rep-
resentative of the West Chester meeting

halt be called at Friends educatio in
stitutions on the violent forms of sports
which he said had caused the death of
over two hundred youths in the United
States last year, and had resulted in in
illries more or less serious to 900 boys and
Young men. He said that football gave
an impetus to the military spirit which
was unfortunately too rampant in the
country. Professor Swayne of Swarth-
more college spoke in favor of the sports.
He said:
every boy and girl must use the play

what is called athletics. My experience
of twenty-fve years with the young con-
vjnces me that they cannot do this This

of schools and college sports. He said:

Chi Jay 16-Although nothing has
as y spired to fully warrant the pre-
dictio,. is asserted both by members
of the Employers association and by the
conservative element in the ranks of the
teamsters' that the present strike will
be called off probably within forty-eight
hours, and certainly by the end of the
week.
1t is not likely that any deapite action
looking to an adjustment of the trouble
will be taken prior to the meeting of the
national officers of the teamsters' union.
which 1t is expected will be held here to-
morrow.
Chief among the causes which led to the
prediction of settlement, are the firm
stands taken this afternoon by Mayor
Dunno when in conference with Presi-
dent Shea and officials of the local team
sters' union, .he assured them that any
further spread of the strike would cer-
tainly make it necessary for him to call
for troops, and the arrival of President
Samuel Gompers of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, who reached this city
this evening.

End Not Far Distant. j

Although not possessed of executive
power in the settlement of the strike,
President Gompers declared that he had
every hope that its end was not far
distant

Early tonight, Immediately after leaving
his trains, President Gompers went into
conference with President Shea 3lotgl

conference lasted until a late hour to-
night.
After leaving the meeting of the labor
leaders President Gompers met number
of the teamowners who have stood by
the unions for the greater part of the
strike and they informed him that the
time had come when they could no longer
refuse to deliver goods and take goods
from the boycotted houses without losing
all of their business and facing financial
ruin.
1t is said on good authority that the
teamsters will accept any plan of setl-
tlement that will enable them to call off
the strike gracefully, and they will ac-
cept any plan that President Gompers
may propose. 1t is now said that Mr..
Gompers will suggest to the teamsters that
they allow the teamowners to do bus
mess with the boycotted house. 1t is ex-
pected that the teamsters will accept this
proposition. and in this manner the strike
will be called off

Increase Scope of Delivery.

The Employers association and the ex-
press companies increased their scope of
delivery still futher today. Something
over two thousand wagons were in use,
and business for the most part was trans
acted without hndrance of any kind.
There were a few cases of small-sized
rioting which were dispersed by a few
policemen, who used their clubs in Wig
orous fashion. The merchants and de-
partment stores are confident that they
will be able to extend their operations
still further tomorrow, and have at least
2300 wagons in full service
Three hundred and fifty men were
brought into the city today to take the
places of strikers, and as many more
are expected tomorrow.
At the hearing before Master in Chan
Gerry Sherman, where evidence is being
taken relative to the federal injunctons
issued against the strikers, f. X. Buck
minister, superintendent of private de-
tective agency, cited fully two dozen in
stances of where assaults had been COM
mitted on non-union men and the federal
injunction violated He gave names and
Localities, and asserted the majority of the
rioters were wearing the buttons of the

defendants made vigorous objection to the
admission of the testimony, but the mas

Increase of Reclamation Fund.

There are many attractive irrigation projects in these states, which will be taken up and acted upon by the govern ment in the future, when the repayments begin to come in from the settlers under the projects now under construction, or should Congress possibly conclude to make direct loan to the reclamation fund
 Such an innovation SIS a direct con- gressional appropriation for, loan to the reclamation fund is not believed to be at all beyond the bounds of possibility, some time in the future. after the sys- tems now projected shall have demon- strated themselves to be the successes predicted The present figure above noted of thirty-seven million dollars would have l been looked upon the dream of an i impractical enthusiast at the time that ! the irrigation bill was being discussed in | Congress. less than four years ago. The
 year before the passage of the act the securing of a hundred million dollar ap- propriation would have been believed to be
