BOSTON July 1-Somewhat of a shock

leased by the Cambridge institution. The
athletic committee of the university re-
fused TO renew his contract. which ex-
pired recently.
as he was famIliarly known
to college men, has been identified with
the Harvard football, baseball and hook
cy teams for the last eight years and
previous TO 1885 he was associated with
The Princeton college teams. McMasters
announced that he would return to his
old home in Scotland for years vaca-
ton, after which he would probably re-
turn TO America and seek an engagement
with some college here
1t is said on good authority that the
football men became dissatisfied with
McMasters last fall and II was through

TOO MUCH FOR
TRANSPORTATION
EXPRESS COMPANIES WORK.
) ING a GAME OF GRAFT.
CONGRESS- SAYS MUST CEASE
Instances are Cited Where United
States Coin was Transferred Three
Times Before Reaching Destination
J Fourteen Miles Away.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-How the ex-
press companies Of the country divide
up $4,000 annually Of the govern
ment's money under guisa OF trans
porting silver coins was explained
with startling details yesterday in the
House.
"A bank in Yonkers wants several
thousand dollars in silver said Mr.
Tawney, chairman Of the appropria-
ton committee, in giving specific
instance. ut applies for it at the
sub-treasury in New York, just -Four
teen miles away. The money Is turn
ed over to. an express company fol-
Transmission. It takes it first to
Binghamton, $50 miles away, there
transfers it to another express COM
pany, which whisks it back to larry
town, like distance; still third ex-
press company takes up the burden
at Tarrytown and takes it to Yonk-
ers, fifteen miles.
This statement was made to eluci-
date the reasons Of the Appropria
tions Committee for cutting to some
thing more than $4,000 the deficiency
request for $4,000 from the Secre-
tary of the Treasury for Transporting
silver coin. Mr.. Tawney said that
when the subcommittee which pre-
pared the urgent deficiency bill reach
ed its conclusion regarding this item
at the close Of one of its sessions, by
some mysterious means the represen-
tatives Of the express companies were
the first to receive the news and wait
ed on members Of the committee the
next morning to secure a reversal of
the decision.
Mr.. Kiefer, former speaker Of the
House, made a motion to restore the
amount to $4,000. He said the whole
transaction was strike at silver and
the farmer who needed that kind of
money and in the interest Of the cir
culation of bank notes. He was sup
ported literally by the democrats as
soon as It was understood he was de-
Tending silver and the farmer, but
it was defeated.
Mr.. Smith, of Iowa, declared holly
that the manner in which the $780,
600 was used was plain and simple
graft. - Mr.. Hill of Connecticut,
followed with Illustrations of the
abuse of the appropriation. He said
he had proof of one specific instance
OF where an express company was
paid $4,000 by the government for
transporting its own money from San
Francisco to New York.

will then pronounce a solemn protes-
