DRYDEN OPENS
HIS CAMPAIGN
Gave Reception TO the Legislators
at Trenton Last Night Wants
to Return TO Washington.

TRENTON. Apr. ~. - United
States Senator John +. Dryden open
ed his campaign for another term of
six years in the upper house at Wash
inglon yesterday by rendering a re
ception from I to 3 pm, at Hotel
Windsor to the members of the leg
islature. attaches, state officers. Mer-
Ger county and Trenton city officials
and members of the press,
Senator Dryden's term will expire
March 4. 1907, and his successor will
he chosen by the Legislature of 1907.
The reception Yesterday, therefore,
was significant.
Considerable interest is already be-
ginning TO attach to the s~enatorship,
because j. is claimed Governor Stokes
will be a candidate against Dryden.
This being The case, it is wisdom on
the part of the junior Jersey United
States senator TO look after his fen
ces early.
The reception took place in the
large Windsor dining hail, which vas
splendidly decorated. The side walls
were hung with flags, picturesquely
arranged, while red. white and blue
streamers in profusion, gracefully
draped. completely hid the ceiling.
Banks of palms added a pretty touch
to the scene.
Winkler's orchestra. behind a palm
bank in one corner of the hall, rem
dered a fine program during the two
hours.
senator All Smiles.
Senator Dryden stood ear the en-
trance and greeted his guests per-
sonally. He was all smiles and very
affable. Governor Stokes led the
guest list. Most of the members and
officers of the Legislature were pres
ent. All the heads of the state de-
partments were also there. In the
company was a liberal sprinkling Of
Mercer county and Trenton %republi-
can officials and lears. Over 200 We're
present in all.
An elaborate buffet luncheon had
been prepared by Mahlon Margerum
and was well served. Strawberries
and ice cream proved an appetizing
finale TO the menu. The tables were
decorated with pink carnations.
\ noticeable feature of the func-
ton was the absence of practically
the whole Colby faction. Senator
Colby vas absent. and only Messrs.
Hines and Everett, of the Essex as
semblymen, were present. This may
be taken as decisive evidence that
Dryden will not have the support of
his own county legislative delegation
in his fight for reelection. This sit
uation will present a novelty in New
Jersey politics.
Major Lentz, the regular republi-
IAN leader of Essex, was present, but
looked lonely without a delegation
behind him. He remained bUt a
short time.
The reception was a pleasant event.

iournment and was then given its
final quietus.
Speaker Robbins left the chair long
enough TO speak against the bill,
characterizing it as a piece of monu-
mental folly and declaring that it cast
a stigma on the members of the legis-
Iature by the tacit admission that
they were not strong enough to resist
lobby influences.
Mr.. Crowther suggested that lob

TEAMS PREPARING
FOR FINAL STRUGGLE
Indoor Baseball League Play Ae-
cording to the Official
dope"

The standing in the indoor baseball
"play' has been somewhat altered, the
Palace displacing the Tony team for
the cellar pennant, and the Hotter
MAINS moved up to fifth place, displac-
ing the "Soldiers,' who are finding
the pace just little too fast for them.
The Lunds and the S & LIS are fight
ing it out for the rag, and it will be
great fight before the season closes. The
Apex are holding down third place and
lead the Henleys by an even hundred
points.
The umpiring this week was satisfac
tory with one exception, that being in
the game between the two leaders.
The Palace team is not doing as well
as was expected, but Geelan hopes to
get his bunch working right soon. Sam
Coughlin is going to take his team out
of town next week to play at Spring
Valley.
It is the intention of the score and
average committee to publish fielding
averages for the full seasons play TO
date next Sunday.
The season is drawing to close, and
big crowds will watch the play from
now on. ---c-

Lake Linden, Mich, March 1o.-The
baseball situation in northern Mich
igan is in a turmoil again. A week ago
it was supposed to be settled that the
cooper Country league,' reorgan-
lied, would consist Of Lake Linden,
Calumet, Hancock, Houghton, Duluth,
Superior, Menominee and Iron Noun
from the first had been lukewarm on
the proposition, have joined with Crys-
tai Falls and Escanaba in launching the
"Iron Country association and a
serious obstacle has been raised against
the Duluth magnates affliating their
team with those Of the region Of the
red metal. Just what the outcome will
be is problematical. At present the
situation is more complex than ever.
It was made known to the Copper
Country league magnates this week
that the Northern league has hold
on Duluth that cannot we'll be shaken.
It controls a territory covered by the
Duluth franchise, within radius of
eleven miles of that city, and it's rights
are protected blythe rules governing
the American &; Association Of Minor
Baseball leagues, L. the present Duluth
management desires to drop out Of the
Northern and join the Copper Country
league, the Northern officials will put
in another team at Duluth, and the
original team will be outlawed, it's out
lawry I being reflected in whatever
league with which it affliates.
With this as the situation, the North
ern league officials have submitted the
proposition that the Copper Country
magnates join in with them and launch
an association comprised Of Duluth,
Winnipeg, Fargo and Grand Forks Of
the old Northern circuit, and the four
Houghton county towns. It cannot be
said that this scheme is looked upon
with favor, and from present prospects
the prediction is advanced that the
Copper Country league this season will
consist Off the. copper country towns
and no other. This will be satisfactory
to the baseball-loving, public Of the
copper region, if not as good an in
vestment for the managers as would
bigger circuit. It would give the dis
trict as much baseball as it would want,
however, and of pretty high grade
at that. The exact arrangements for
the season will be worked out during
the coming week.

Chicago, March 10.-Johnny Coulton,
Chicago's best known bantam weight
amateur boxer, has received a medal
from Secretary of the Treasury Leslie
M, Shaw for especial bravery shown
in saving boy from drowning in the
medal is of silver and was issued I'M
der an act of congress providing for
the recognition Of bravery in saving
lives.
The rescue for which the medal was
given was made while Coulton was
on a two-day visit at New York last
summer. With some friends he went
to the East river dock at Thirty sixth
street. A six-year-old boy named Ed
ward Kane got out Of his depth about
forty feet from the pier. Coulton
jumped into the water and grabbed the
lad. He swan with him to the pier
and the boys companions threw
Johnny rope.
Efforts Of the lads to pull the boys
up were unavailing, according to the
statement Of the case made by Secretary
Shaw, in a letter accompanying the
medal, and the rescuer and his burden
were dropped back into the water.
Workmen who were near the scene came
to the aid of Coulton and dragged both
he and Kane out Of the water. Coul-
ton was unfamiliar with the water at
the spot where the rescue was made.
A policeman took Coulton's name,
and shortly afterward he received a
letter from Secretary Shaw telling him
he would be given medal.
Johnny weighs less than 100 pounds,
and the boy he rescued was almost as
heavy as he. He has appeared in sew
eral Of the larger amateur boxing tour
naments in Chicago this winter, and is
known to the patrons Of these as an
exceptionally clever boy.

DIR. SWEETIaAND CANNOT
SEE GOOD OF CHANGES
Thinks the Ten-Yard Rule in Football
Will Make the Lighter Teams Take a
Harder Pounding than Ever Before.
Special to The journal.

Special to The journal.
State University, N. D., March To-
In an interview DR.. G.. J. Sweetland,
Jr., athletic director and coach of the
North Dakota team, gave the following
statement as regards the new football
rules which are being adopted at New
York.
"The old rules, in my opinion, are
good enough when enforced by prop
er officials. I fail to see any advan-
tage to be gained by doubling the dis
lance from five to ten yards. At pres
ent it is hard to make the required dis
tances. Take for instance the big game
last year between Michigan and Chi
cago, two evenly matched teams, and re-
ports show that it was a hard struggle
to make the required distance in three
downs.' ..
eft is not the mass plays that hurt
the players, but the open field work. I
believe that the new rules will give to
the stronger team much greater ad-
vantage, and the weaker team will have
to stand much more severe pounding,
as we'll as have much bigger score
piled up on them
"The new rules as far as they have
gone seem to me to give the stronger
team a great advantage at the expense
of the weaker
DR.. Sweetland is greatly interested
in the proposed changes. AS regards
the spring work DR.. Sweetland thinks
that North Dakota will have the strong.
est track team in years. Arrangements
are being made with the agricultural
college at Brookings, S. D., for track
meet at Grand Forks about June /.
The track men are working In the ar.
mory and the indoor athletic meets have
put the boys in excellent shape for the
track.
The Brookings proposition is at pres
ent before the athletic board. Brook
ings wants the North Dakota authori-
ties to enter into two years contract
and have the second meet held at
Brookings, s. D. In all probability the
proposition will be accepted by North
Dakota.

there will be a warm contest, with two

furry Of snow which danced in
thirty-mile breeze, the international
balloon race between Charles Levee
and Leo Stevens started shortly before
8 O'Clock this afternoon. A thousand
spectators cheered wildly as the huge
air wagons lifted resolutely in the air.
The contest started under conditions
which promise plenty Of excitement for
the air pilots. A strong west wind
set In over the Berkshire hills at day
break, when the attendants reported at
the place of the Pittsfeld Gas company
and carried the silken bags to the field
inclosed with rope.
Inch-and-a-half feedpipes had been
laid from the plant to the field and to
that were attached oiled silk feed
tubes one foot in diameter. The gas
was turned into the pipes at 9 clock
and the huge bags began to fill slowly.
Considerable difficulty was met with
at first because Of the high winds which
bufeted the tapping silk.
Aeronauts Appear.
Levee and Stevens appeared early,
muffied in great coats as protection
we'll knew would assail them once they
assembled two miles in the air. Both
were iubilant over the. prospects for a
thrilling contest.

Levee, as he glanced upward where
the clouds were scurrying over the
Berkshires. cit is no day for nov

Perhaps my friend Stevens will outsail
me, but I do not think so. I have
raced in France under just such condi-
lions as these and I believe that my
longer experience will help me OUT

trainer inspecting his horse just before
the bugle sounds for a race. He lugged

1T am anxious to see how the bal

race started, "and know whether the
gas is going to have the necessary
buoyancy. I am confident that T shall

intend to keep as closely together az
possible until reaching high levels, ant

On account of the high wind and tn
uncertainty as to the proper quality O.
