of the existence of James Brice Gordon
Rinehart of Green County. Pennsyl
vania, delighted in copying their elder
brothers and yelling "Oh-h-h-h-h RINE-
hartw night after night simply for the
pleasure of having contagious some
thing to yell.
They began to yell .'Oh-h-h-h RINE-
hart" at Harvard during the winter of
1895. James Brice Gordon Rinehart
was then living in Grey's. He was an
inconspicuous member of the freshman
class He knew perhaps a dozen men
in the university. for he had very little
money and no specialties. He was a
little fellow, indefinitely between feet
and feet 5. thin-faced and no larg-
er in his girth than a second classer
at prep school. After a time he be-
camd>weH acquainted with man who
sat next to him in History 1.
Rinehart lived on the top floor of

that the friend adopted the habit of
calling out "Oh, Rinehart" when he

eventually down went the wretch in a

prey in q tightly-locked grip. That
night the yard" was bedlam OF
"Oh-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h RINEharts.'
Even today this unique yell is not
entirely ancient history. DURING warm
nights OF the recent Spring. when law
school men had grown weary OF their
books. they sometimes startled ignor

ciferously, 'Oh-h-h-h RINEhart." From

window and hung out, repeating the
yodel with all the strength of his lungs.
Men in other dormitories, hearing this
strange chorus, naturally made in
quiries, and "Oh-h-h-h Rinehartw
spread throughout the entire college.
And within two months James Brice
Gordon Rinehart. the freshman from
Pennsylvania, was one of the best
known men in the university. They
began to point him out whenever he
walked through the yard; and when
he sauntered before the crowd at an
athletic event escorts showed him TO
their friends. They even yelled the
slogan to him, between innings at a
ball game. just as they vented their
exuberance by whistling or yelling
willy -nilly," so they shouted "Oh-h- h-h

leaders made the mistake OF trying to
ignore him, but "Tiney" was never any
thing save persistency itself, and,
thanks to his perennially lucky star
or TO the gracious fate that hung over
him from the time he left his home in
Green County, Pa, to the time a noisy
chum made him famous-thanks to this
star Of publicity or whatever it was.
and is-"Rineys" popularity spread so
widely that the Democratic leaders are
sitting UP and beginning to discuss
ways and means Of doing him.
Here is one Of "Riney's" recent pro-
nunciamentos:
Il am here to fight the Sullivan in
huence IN this district, and the only
way to fight is to throw March (the
Hon. Jim March, out Of the Republican
leadership. And so I am here to beat
March, who is a misfit leader, and then
to beat the Sullivans. who should not
represent this district. And" declared
the redoubtable 'Riney," II am in it
until hell freezes over"
That lastone settled all doubts of his
popularity.
"Oh-h-h-h RINEhart" is probably the
most famous nondescript Harvard yell
in remembered history, and Rinehart
1900. is probably the individual student
best known among Harvard men of
the past decade. DAILY Dibblee, Walter
Clarkson, "BiIr Reid were better
known names with. the public at large,
but even the most frowsy grinds in
varsity knew OF Rineharts existence.
Five years ago you couldn't go to ball
game on Soldiers without hearing the
slogan; and there was the same outcry
at football games and occasionally at
musical comedies. And from one end
of the yard" to the other every night
.tOh-h-h-h RINEharti" was yelled 1000
times, while ''three-log- -Harvards-a and
three -times-three" was yelled once.
The San Francisco call., 1906-07-29

The use of "Oh-h-h-h RINEhart" be-
gan for no particular reason. 1t sim
ply began-round after round of
"Oh-h-h-h RINEhart.'' Sometimes it
kept up for an hour. From the yard"
It spread to the other dormitories and
you could hear the strange racket from
Cambridge street to Beck Hall. Per-
haps somebody living in Hollis put his
head out of window and yelled
oh h h-h-h-h RINEhart" Immediate
ly, like the response of a thoroughly
trained heather chorus, came score of
long-drawn-out oh -h-h-h-h RINE-

thence to Little's. Then loungers in
front of the drug stores and Leavitt's
took up the yodel, melting noise far
ther down the street until at last it
penetrated the brick walls of Beck
Hall. Sometimes 1t travelled up Quincy
street, disturbing 'Prexy" and Pro-
fessor Charles Eliot Norton, and by
and by it returned to the yard" just
in time to arouse everybody to another
round of yelling before the bedtime
hour. And even as late as 1890
"Oh-h-h-h RINEhart!' was active and
lusty.

ONCE MORE AS PEAcEMAKER.
President Would Stop All Hasty Ac-
tion Against Japan.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-President
Roosevelt took very emphatic posi-
ton in rebuking member of congress
who had intended TO introduce in con.
gress joint resolution which would
have added fuel to the flame OF agita.
ton of the differences between this
country and japan over the school
question at San Francisco.
The representative in question is +
A. Hayes of the Fifth California dis
trlct. Mr. Hayes is very strongly anti.
Japanese. He already has pending in
congress japanese exclusion bill
which would exclude the japanese al
most as rigldly as the Chinese are ex-
cluded under the existing act of con.
gress.
Mr.. Hayes has in his possession a
joint resolution requesting the presl-
dent TO enter into new treaty with
Japan in which Japan would be re-
quired to recognize the right of the
United States to deal with the ques-
ton of immigration of the japanese
into this country as 1t deems fit.
When Mr.. Hayes called at the White
House to consult with the president
regarding the relations of the admins
tration with the japanese school ques-
ton at San Francisco something al
most dramatic happened to him.
The president told him with great
earnestness that his resolution was i'll
timed and that It might make difficult
the work the government was seeking
TO do in bringing about an amicable
adjustment of the entire question. He
very strongly urged the California rep
resentative not TO Introduce any meas
IRE at this time which would either
tend to infnme the Californian mind
N excite any further antipathy on the
part of the japanese. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Hayes will not introduce his
resolution out of Difference to the
wishes of the president. Mr.. Hayes,
however. talked freely about the Jap
lnese situation on the Pacific slope.
II do not think that we will have
trouble with the japanese over this
school question at this time" he said,
but we will have war with that coun-
try in the future. The Japanese have
rot il into their heads that they will
control the Pacific and we have got it
into our heads that we will control It,.
A clash will eventually come.
Il do not believe that Japan Is ready
for struggle with this country over
the question of her people mixing in
the public schools with ours. But
can say without the least desire to
infiame the controversy that the peo-
pie of the Pacific coast, especially of
California, are united on this question.
II is not a party question at all. Re
publcans, Democrats. labor people,
all have not learned to hold the Japa.
nese in as high esteem as might be
possible"
