THE OLYMPIC GAMES.
Athens Refuses Change in Date-Am-
erican Team Not Named.

New York. Jan. 10.-The American
committee Of the Olympic games at
Athens. Greece. next April held it's first
regular meeting at the Waldorf-As-
toria last night, and various matters
touching on the festival We're discuss
ed.
II was learned that an effort had
been made by Nj. Botashi to have the
games postponed until a month or two
later. but the authorities at Athens
would not hear of the proposition on
account of the intense heat during
June and July. The latter end of April
and the beginning of May is said to be
quite comfortable, as the weather goes
at Athens.
1t was announced that five-mile
run had been added to the program.
80 that the distance runners will have
something more than the Marathon
race to occupy their time.
1t had been planned 10 pick the team
Of athletes last night. but it was de-
ctded to wait until later day, and IN
the meantime different athletic centers
will be sounded on their strength. II
was finally agreed to send a team Of GO
athletes. II that number can be mus
tered. The expense will be $50 600 but
the feeling of the delegates was tba,
the amount would be raised long be-
fore 1t was needed. President Mac

DEFENDANTS DEMURRER
In the Copper Range Stock Suit Ar
gued at Boston.

Boston, Jan. 11.--A hearing on the
demurrer Of the defendant, a. c. Bur-
rage and Thomas w. Lawson in the
suit brought by Paine, Webber 6; Co..
stock brokers, in connection with the
delivery of 10000 shares of Copper
Range stock. was held today before
Justice Braley in the supreme judicial
court. The plaintiffs seek to hold De
fendant Burrage liable to deliver to
them or to pay its full value of &c.
100000. upon the ground that he
fraudulently converted the stock to his
own use and sold it in violation of Il
contract which he had made with the
Copper Range Consolidated Co. in
1903. This contract is said to have
provided that the shares be held by
Paine. Webber & Co, rs agents, until
certain obligations or liabilities of the
Tn Mountain Mining Co, had been
satisfied. Recovery is sought against
Mr.. Lawson and Charles d. Burrage of
any sums they may have received as
the result of their alleged wrongful
connection with the acts of A. C. Bur-
rage In selling the Copper Range
stocks. The defendants claim that the
Range Consolidated 90, which has an
interest In the contract, was not made
party. 1t is also claimed that the
plaintiffs have an adequate remedy at
law and that it is unnecessary to ap-
ply to a court of equity
Attorney Mayberry for the defen-
dants argued that the 10000 shares of
stock We're owned by A. c. Burrage
and not by Paine, Webber & Co.. who
mad no title to the shares. but We're
merely repositories of the stock.
Whatever title Paine. Webber & Co,
might have had to the ownership of
the 10000 shares. was waived accord
ing to Attorney Mayberry when this
stock was transferred to a. c. Bur
rage. All promises made by Mr.. Bur
rage were to the Copper Range Con-
soiidated Co, not to Paine, Webber
q Co., and whatever claims might be
brought against Burrage should have
been brought by the Copper Range
Consolidated Co. and not be Paine.
Webber & Co, as i'll the present bill.

PRES, ELIOT is OPPOSED
To FootbaII-Harshiy Critieizes Game
in Letter.

BOSTON. Jan. 11.-Pres. Chas. w. Eliot
OF Harvard University. says OF the
measures suggested by the graduates
committee of Harvard for improving
football:
"The suggestions of the graduates
committee are entirely Inadequate. The
rules are hopeless"
II WAS learned Thursday that at
Wednesdays secret meeting o1 the
Harvard overscers, n statement from
Pres. Eliot on the question OF football
was read and considered. In this, Pres
Eliot scored the conditions under which
the game Is played. especially with ref
erence to the rules, the tremendous
expenditure of money and the "abso-
lutely professional spirit and manage
ment" of the game. not only at Har-
ward hut all over the country.
Pres. Eliot pointed out to the over
seers that they should take some ac-
ton in this connection. In the discus
sion It is understood. the overseers
were divided between the radical sug-
gestion of Pres. Eliot and the more lib
eral attitude Of Pres. Roosevelt, and in
a communication sent to the athletic
committee the Overseers favored so
thorough q change in the rules as to
abolish practically all Of the worst fca-
lures Of the game. The overseers also
favored a more general participation of
the student body in athletics at Har-
ward. Strong hopes We're expressed that
Yale could be induced to join with Har-
vard and other colleges III the move
meht for reform.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Featurss Of the Day's Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. Jan. 1I.-Therc was evidence
again today of the resumption OF activity
by organized parties in the speculation OF
the kind which conducted the aggressive
advance up 10 the first of the year and
which has been supposed to control the
market in the interest of the recent Dr0fit-
taking. That profIt-taking was STILL In
evidence today but its effect on prices
was not so general that of yesterday.
The average level Of the market rose
above that of yesterday and gains in spec
iai stocks were pronounced. The volume
of dealings expanded materially. There
was little i'll the days occurrences Ol

READVILLE'S NEW PLAN.
Nine Heats for Each Day, Each Of
Them to Be a Race.

II (, tho intention of the eecutive
committee Of the New England Trot-
ting Horse Breeders Association to
give the public a new style Of racing
naxt summer over the famous Read
Vile trotting course. A coInmittee was
anpointed at the annual meeting OF the
association by the recently elected
president, ]. NJ. Johnson, consisting OF
Halpk e. Williams, George A. Graves
and Arthur II. Parker, Tor the purpose
of devising some plan whereby troltlhg
and racing races could be made sue
cess and not suffer such tremendous
losses as that Of last year, when $l5,Oo0
was dropped as a result OF the cond1-
tions.
The cor,mittee held conference
Wednesday at the Boston Athletic As
sociation. 1t was decided That IL would
be better to run races under the every
heat q race plan, instead of the old
style Of best two in three and best three
out Of five heats, with only horses
standing for money, answering the call
after the third heat.
The committee argued that the new
system, as outlined, would do away
with laying up Of heats and that the
compctition would be keener. They also
added that such an example as that
Of Directum Miller last year, when he
received a mark of 2.05h and then got
distanced the next heat was worthy Of
some reward for having stepped that
fast mile. Under this new style horse
may win heat Cor n race as has been
decided upon and get marked and then
be Jistancod the following race, but he
will be rewarded for his win.
1t is the intention to run off nine
races each day and have the best
Judges in the country in the stand. 1t
is also intended to have the races start
ed at such time in the afternoon that
will permit the business man to attend
and get back to Boston in time for din
ner. Under the system there will be no
carrying over of events to the next
day
The comrlittee purposes to have the
racing just for the sport there is in it
and not for any other motive and at the
same time make 1t pay.
The grand circuit races will be held
under the plan and the greatest trot-
ting stake of the country. the Massa-
chusettS for 2.10 trotterS, will be an
event of three races of one mile, with
$4,000 divided for each as follows: First
horse, $4,000; second horse. $500; third
horse. $500, and fourth horse, $100, and
nothing to be deducted from the money
winners. Horses are to be named at the
time of closing of entries. Forfeits of
$40, $65. $50, Sl2O $l35 will be due in Sc
quence on April 10, May 10, June 9.
July 10 and Aug. 3.
Additional horses lin the same stable)
may be named: for each additional
horse SO named a forfeit of 50 will be
due on each of the above named dates.
Nomiiiators will not be held for for
felt falling due after they have de-
/ ciarel out in writing. In this event
