AFTER HARVARD PITCHER.
Athletic Committee Criticised for Granting Coburn Permission to Pitch.

Athletic Committee Criticised for
 Granting Coburn Permission to Pitch.
 Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 13.-The Har- ward Bulletin, weekly graduate pub lication, will publish an editorial to- morrow critisizing the action of the Harvard Athletic committee in grant ing permission to Paul N. Coburn to pitch for the university nine in inter- college games. Coburn has pitched three years and part of afourth for Harvard. The editorial says:
 we believe that the Harvard athlet- ic committee has made another mistake in deciding that Coburn may play on the university baseball team next spring. It is said in behalf of Coburn that he has a legal right to play. No No one has a right to represent Har- yard in intercollegiate sport; to do so should b eregarded as special priv ilege. The action of the athletic com- mitte had caused good deal of un- favorable comment from some of our rivals and from the public. In our pinion, that is one of the things to be avoided, even If to do so we lose a man who is valuable to the nine.
 "We believe, however, that it would be better for the team in the long run to give some of the younger and less experienced men chance to pitch on the university nine."

DEMOCRATIC LINEN WASHING
OCCUPIES ATTENTION OF HOUSE
 FOR FOUR HOURS.
Representative Lamar Throws Down
  Def to Minority Leader Williams Bitterness Over Failure to be Ap- pointed on Committees--Mr. Will iams' Defense-NIr. shackIeford De- nounces All Bosses.

nOunces All Bosses,
 !, Washington, Dec. 1s.-The wash of democratic linen for the amusement of republicans ,'' as MT. Williams, the mi- snority leader, put it Monday, occupied the attention of the house for more than four hours to-day. The result &C., complished was a def thrown at the minority leader by Representative La mar, of Florida, and another by Rep resentative Shackleford, of Missouri. The complaint of both resulted from the failure of Mir. Williams to recom- mend their reappointment as members of the committee on interstate and for eign commerce. Both made long speeches in which MT. Williams lead- ership was assailed from many points. MT. Williams replied to Mir. Lamar at some length and briefly to Mir Shackle- ford. His defense was that last session the democrats on this committee were divided and he deemed 1t necessary for the good of the party and the country that united minority report should be made on the subject of railroad rate legislation. At times there was high tension in the debate. Mir. Lamar was particularly bitter in his criticism and openly declared that his heretofore per- sonal friendship for Mr. Williams was forever at an end unless the criticism of himself were retracted. He, how ever, would recognize MT. Williams as the party leader. v |
 MT. Shackleford denounced all bosses and placed himself entirely Independent of party leadership in the house. .s"
 The subject under discussion was the committee distribution of the annual message of President Roosevelt. At the conclusion of the democratic debate this had not been accomplished and the house adjourned.
 MT. Lamar concluded his remarks with the statement that he considered his removal from the commerce com mittee an act absolutely untenable and an aspersion upon his private charac- ter.
 MT. Lamar said it had gone to the country through the press that the mil nority leader would not tolerate fol-. lowers of MT. Hearst. He charged MT.

FRUITLESS MEETING.
Striking Plumbers Fail to Reach
 .Agreement in Hartford.

Agreement in Hartford.
 Hartford, Dec. 13.-Another fruitless meeting of the committees representing the Master Plumbers association and the striking plumbers was held this afternoon. The meeting was called as the result of the efforts of Mayor Hen ney to end the strike, and was held in his office, but the mayor was not present, only the two committees. At the conclusion of the conference, which lasted until late i'll the afternoon. it was announced that no settlement had been reached, although nearly all the points over which the two bodies diff fered previously had been agreed upon These, however were minor points, the issue being whether or not the supply plumbers as well as to the masters. This point, it is understood, is the one which prevents 8 settlement of the long drawn out strike. The masters stoutly hold that the supply houses shall not sell to the independents" while the union, which has the sup port of the independent plumbers holds out for an open supply house.
 There can be no compromise on that issue, it is stated, and as both sides announce their intention of bsing firm in the stand taken there seems little Likelihood of an immediate termination of the trouble. William Mahl was chairman of the masters committee, while William Haspey acted in that capacity for the journeymen. Mayor Henney was somewhat put out by the failure of the men to reach an agree ment, but has hopes that the matter will be satisfactorily adjusted in the near future

PRES. PRlTCHETT RESIGNS
HEAD OF MASSACHUSETTS, IN
 STITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY. s-
To Devote His Entire Time to the Car negie Foundation of Which He is President md Which Was Endowed With . Fund of Ten Million Dollars by Andrew carnegie-Headquarters in New York. .-.-

With q Eund OF Ten Million Dollars
 by Andrew carnegie--5eadquarters
 in Negr York. :.=
 Boston, Dec. 13.-.Presdent Henry S. Prtchett, who has been executive head of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to-day handed his resigna- tion to the corporation ofthat institu- tion. President Prichett's retirement is prompted by his desire to devote his entire time to the Carnegie Foundation, of which he is president, and which was endowed with a fund of $1O,00O,000 by Andrew Carnegie about a year ago.
 The statement which accompanies President Pritchett's resignation fol- lows: J
 "In taking up this new work Presi- dent Pritchett expressed to the trustees of the institute his keen regret at sep arating from the institute, it's officers and faculty and students. He exvress- es no less regret at leaving Boston and Massachusetts, for both of which he has formed the strongest ties.
 "The work of the Foundation, while primarily that of a pension system for teachers, involves educational work of most important nature, and most interesting relation with & large num- Der of institutions. It was this con- sideration which led him to accept the new duties in the place of older ones"
 The resignation is to take effect at such time as may be decided upon by the trustees of the institute. Prest- dent Pritchett has been at the head of the institute for over five years. He strongly advocated an alliance of the institute with Harvard university, but the proposition, which had been for mally considered by the officials of both institutions, called forth a protest from 'Tech." graduates, and was later voted down by the trustees of the in- stitute. t <
 As soon as he is relieved from his present duties President Pritchett will so to New York where he will make his headuarters in the direction of the Carnegie fund. This endowment. has for it's object the pensioning of old and needy professors of American educa- tional institutions.
