plants were yet in full bloom. The sun
has not been as good as usual this fan,
and the blossoms have not yet had
their fullest development. But in Il
week more at the latest they will have
opened ont IL all their crimson and vel

varieties at the greenhouses this year,
it being the custom at the park 10 try
out some half dozen or SO each sea

MICHIGAN RETAINS YOST
Foot hall Advocates Garry the
Day in the Wolverine
University.

ANN ARBOR Mich. Feb. Sat a SEES
sion lasting well into the night the Uni
versity of Michigan senate voted prac-
tically unanimously to retain Coach Yost
and the foot ball eleven regardless of the
result of the Chicago foot ball congress,
which declared against coaches who were
not faculty members. There was no great
controversy over this matter, Yost having
contract running over four more years.
The proposal by the University of Chi
cago that foot ball be abolished for two
years was defeated by a decisive vote. 1t
was decided to accept the Chicago confer
ence recommendation for a three years
eligibility rule, but at the University of
Michigan the rule is not to be retroactive;
that is, 1t will not apply to students who
entered colleges under the former condi-
tons. This ruling of the senate will save
Captain Curtis, Garrels. Barlow and
Schultz. who have been in athletics three
years and would have been ruled out under
the Chicago recommendations.
A determined fight was started in favor
of retaining the training tables. but having
won out ON its principal contentious, the
opposition did not press its advantage and
the rule to abolish training tables was en-
dorsed, as were also the remaining recon-
mendations of the Chicago conference.
MADISON, Wis, Feb. 5.-After discussing
the matter for seven hours the faculty
OF the University of Wisconsin tonight
adopted resolutions reiterating its sugges-
ton that foot ball be suspended for two
years, II the other universities OF the Big
Nine concur. 1t also declared In favor
of the recommendations of the Chicago
conference for a modification of the rules.
The faculty asks President Angel of Michi-
gan to call another conference.

CHINESE RULES ARE AMENDED
Secretary MetcaIf Makes Changes I'm
Administra ton of ExcIunion Act.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-secretsry Met
calf of the Department of Commerce and
Labor today took most important action
which is expected to amelorate consdera-
bly, the friction between this country and
China and perhaps cause the abandonment
of the anti-American boycott when he APP
proved the report of the special committee
composed of Assistant Secretary Murray
Solicitor Sims and Richard Campbell of
the bureau of immigration, providing for
radical revision of the existing regula-
tions under which Chinese may enter and
reside in the United States The commits
sions report touched by way OF either ex-
cluson or amendment twenty-four of the
existing regulations, the changes being
made in the direction of liberalization.
Besides certain alterations that promise
to avoid delay in landing Chinese who ap-
ply for admission, other alterations have
been made where possible with a view to
avoiding any action that would seem Of
fensive. provided that the object intended
by such regulations could be accomplished
otherwise. AS an illustration OF this the
committee recommended the discontinue
ance of the Bertillon system of identifca-
ton.
Another amendment of the regulations
recommended by the committee is Il re-
quirement that the administrative officers
should advise Chinese persons, either Ia
borers or Of the exempted class, before
their departure from the United States of
the conditions under which they would be
admitted upon their return. Upon this
point the officers are directed to use spe-
cial care, so that no Chinese person who
has right TO reside In this country shall
be allowed to depart therefrom under IA
mistaken impression that he will certaily
be re-admtted.
Provisions are also made for the notifica-
ton of Chinese persons who have been
denied admission at the ports of entry
of the right to appeal from such denial
to the secretary such notice being ro-
quired under the new regulations to he in
the Chinese tongue, and the further pre-
caution being taken to notify the Chinese
consul, il there he such an officer at the
port OF entry. of the adverse action of the
officers at such port in the case of any
Chinese person, so that said consular offi-
Ger may have the opportunity, should he
deem such course necessary, TO employ
consul or otherwise interest himself In be-
half OF his countryman.
