ALUMNI OF ST. PAUL'S
Meet the New Rector and Are Addressed
by Bishop Mackay Smith.

At a meeting at Sherry's last night of the
alumni Of st. Paul's School, Concord, Bishop
Mackay Smith of Pennsylvania introduced
the new rector Of the school. the Rev. Henry
Ferguson, and paid a tribute to his prede-
cessors, DR., Henry Colt and the late DR..
Joseph H. Colt. He spoke of the respect
in which the boys held DIR. Henry Colt in
the old days, and said as an instance that
he remembered an coca sion when the school
actually silenced a troublesome boy by
threatening to duck him under the pump
for speaking disrespeotfully to the doctor.
Or. Ferguson, the new rector, was warmly
received by the alumni. He spoke Of the
financial needs of the school. while |
am in sympathy with the plan now or foot
to form a permanent endowment fund, -
he said. Il expect arart from this 10 call
upon the alumni to bear their part in de-
fraying such expenditures as the school
must shortly face"
Malcolm r. Gordon gave a talk dealing
with school activities, illustrated by siere-
. tioion, and explained the system Of inter-
club athletics originated by nr. Henry Colt
Athletics at st. Paul's consist mainly of
contests between organizations within the
school. These bring the efforts of a ma ior-
ity Of the boys into play. instead Of re-
stricting active participation in sports to a
email body, Of picked men. This system lie

SPOONER REPLIES TO BAILEY.
He Argues That Congress Cannot Limit the
Powers OF Federal Courts.

WARRINGTON. April Ex-senator spooner
Of Wisconsin occupied nearly three hours
of the session of the Senate to-day replying
to the speech recently made by Mr.. Bailey
of Texas. Mr.. Spooner attacked the ocI-
stitutionality of Mr.. Bailey's proposed
amendment to the rate bill, declaring
that Congress had nc power to limit the
Federal courts in their exercise Of the power
of Injunction. He urged that IL Congress
could control the powers Of the court then
the judiciary would cease to be an independ-
ent and coordinate branch of the Govern
ment, but would be a dependent body, SUBJ
ject to the will of Congress.
The first interruption of Mr.. Spooner's
speech came from Mr.. Bailey. Mr.. Spooner
was quoting from an ancient opinion by jus
tice johnson of the United States Supreme
Court, distinguishing between judicial pow
ers and jurisdiction, when Mr.. Bailey sug-
gested that We had a more recent case of
Anticipating Mr.. Bailey, the Wisconsin
Senator waved his hand deprecatingly,
but Mr.. Bailey continued and referred to
the President message criticising the
opinion of Judge Humphrey.
Does the Senator from Texas claim
jurisdiction to ask me that" inquired Mr..
Spooner. And require me to answer"
NO, but I claim judicial power to ask
the question replied Mr.. Bailey amid
laughter.
Mr.. Spooner said he had always stood
against interference with the judiciary
either by Congress or by the Executive.
Il believe, y said he, in maintaining the
distinction between the three coordinate
branches Of the Government"
