WITH CINCINNATI UNIVERSITY,
wlTTEN5ERe AND FRANKLIN

Athletic Instructor Walter Wilson

ule for the EarIham football team for
the coming season had been compiet.
ed with the exception that the exact
dates Of the contests had not yet

ruling of the faculty, will only play
I'VE games. and the following colleges
will he met on the gridiron'
Wabash.
Nittenberg.
Cincinnati University.
Rose Polytechnic.
Franklin
Il is possible that three of these
games viii be played on Reid Field,
the probable teams playing here be-
ing Cincinnati University, Witten-
berg and Franklin. Wabash and
Rose Poly will be played on their own
grounds. This schedule though
small, is an exceedingly good one, all
the teams being strong with the pos
sible exec ption of Franklin.
The Quaker football team will play
under the new rules recently adopted.
These new rules will prove of great
advantage to light teams and as the
Earlham squad promises to be light
weight, the Quakers have no COM
paint to make. Wilson states that
the outlook for good fast team this
fall is encouraging.

FATE OF SHIP SUBSIDY
1T DEPENDS ON CANNON
1T is SAID THAT ROOSEVELT
TOLD MARINE LEAGUE DELE
CATION THAT THEY SHOULD
WIN OVER THE SPEAKER.
Publishers Press1


Washington, May 17.-President
Roosevelt had a visit today from a
delegation representing the Merchant
Marine League of the United States.
The delegation was headed by Har-
vey D. Goulder of Cleveland, president
of the league, and included rromi-
nent men from New York, Pittsburg,
Philadelphia. Buffalo, Chicago, Boston,
Baltimore and other points to the
number of thirty-five.
Dr. Goulder made an address on be-
half of the League, urging the presi-
dent to use his good offices in secur-
ing the passage Of the Ship Subsidy
bill for the sake of the fast dying mer-
chant marine of the United States.
The president assured his callers
that he was in hearty accord with
them on the proposed legislation and
would do his utmost to secure the pas
sage of the bill.
Speaker Cannon.
1t is understood that the president
told the delegation that just at pres
ent Speaker Cannon is opposed to the
measure, and unless he can be won
over, the prospects for its passage this
session are rather slim. The major
ity of the committee on merchant ma
rine and fisheries of the House, which
has the bill in charge, is in favor of
the bill, the president is reported to
have told his callers, and if the Speak
er will only give the sign, the measure
could be passed.
The delegation left the White House
determined to get after the Speaker
and win him over.

1t may have been that in the hurry
and confusion of getting away from
London the purser of the steamship
Bramble got things mixed up. He
knew that he had among the passen-
gers no less than three fond American
mammas who had been trailing over
Europe with marriagcable daughters
and were coming home with dlsap-
pointed looks, and he hoped to give one
Of them last chance.
However it happened. il was known
among the passengers even before the
Bramble left her dock that great
man was on board. 1t was Mr. julius
Smthers of the Chicago beef trust,
and his fortune was variously estimat-
ed at from ten to fifty million dollars.
There were men who at first denied
that Smithers was II member of the
trust. They could name over every
packer who had ever been mentioned
In the papers. and the name Of Smith
ers didn't figure in the list. They were
about to dcnounce him as an impostor
when II red headed man suggested that
E'IhllH''lS IllF-ht ildNt tDIile INTO tue
trust on merger of some sort There
were mergers merging all tue time,
and what II the beef trust and the
tombstone trust had consolidated their
interests?
The thing was as good az settled in
an hour. Mr.. Smithers was II man of
forty. He was rather rotnnd and bald
headed. He had just the faintest incli-
nation to be flashy. Mr.. Smthers was
very democratic for II man worth I'M
told millions. He made acquaintances
rapidly, and the steamer had not made
u hundred miles to the westward when
