the charges in a recent issue of the
Georgetown College Journal that he had
instructions from New York 10 threaten

the university would furnish him with
evidence which might show that Arthur
Duffey was not an amateur when he at

DR.. Grant is well and favorably known

that he attempted TO use such low and

and specifically declares that he did

with Father Macksey. rector OF the uni

Of the indoor meet on the best OF terms

Sluka made a bet with himself that

tree. If he made such a wager he
won and owes himself money. This

Rates for Trucks Increased-Truck
men to Protest.
At the meeting of Staten Island
Board of Trade and Transportation,
held at st. George, last week, atten-
ton was called to the fact that the
rates for the transportation of wag-
ons and teams upon the municipal
ferry had been increased. The rate
for small trucks, light, was increased
from forty to sixty cents, and loaded
trucks from fifty to ninety cents.
Several merchants declared that
the rate was excessive, when COM
pared with the rates charged by other
ferries running out of Manhattan,
and this seemed to be a discrimina-
ton against Staten Island.
A resolution was adopted protest.
ing in behalf of the board against the
increase of the ferry rates and asking
Dock Commissioner Bensel to grant
a committee and a delegation of
business men a hearing upon the
question.
