purse is not posted before the men enter
the ring. Articles Of agreement will prob

In their recent fight. in the opinion

O'Brien came out of that mill with q

an even break. In a finish fight. for
which O'Brien has been clamOring ever
since. the Quaker believes that he will

and that in the long run he will beat
Burns with science, generalshlp, and

positive that he can win by the knock

PENNsY OPPOSES INDOOR MEET
Mike Murphy's Athletes Not Likely
to Go to Michigan.

Mike Murphy, Pennsylvania track
team coach, has not yet decided whether
he will accept or decline AIichigan's in
vitation to meet the Quakers In a dual
indoor track meet at Ann Arbor during
the latter part of March. PENIS veteran
trainer announced that he viii let the
track team members decide among them
selves as to whether or not It Is best to
compete in such a meeting during the
month already mentioned.
As a matter of fact. the Red and Blue
track men feel that it would be foolish
for a team composed Of such good out
door contestants to take long trip to
Anr Arbor only to compete in a small
gymnasium, and on a track which is four
teen laps 10 the mile
The Quakers are not, however, back
ward in agreeing that Michigan would
more than likely win in a dual meet Of
this kind, for it is known that Penn
sylvania's lOng-strided short-distance run
ners are not able 10 make even a fair
showing on a small track with short
turns. This being the case it IS more
than probable that Pennsylvania track
team viii not accept the Westerners' in
vltation, although Michigan has granted
the Quakers the privilege Of choosing the
events to be contested.

PHILIPPINES MAKE MONEY
Taft's Report Shows Insular Gov.
ernment Highly Efficient.
Peace Obtains in AIE Provinces Ex-
cept Leyte and Samar,. Where
Military May Take Control.

Secretary Taft, in a special report on
the government Of the Philippines. made
public last night, announces that. condi-
uons in the archipelago show steady i'm
prOvement: that the commission has used
every effort to cut down the expenses of
government not inconsistent with render
ing efficient service; that peace and tran
quillity now obtain In every part Of the
island, except in the two provinces Of
Leyte and Samar, and that the finances
are in such good condition that after
all bills were paid June p there was
surplus of S,510,050 in gold.
He says it is hoped that in the coming
year there VIII be a sufficient amount
available over and above the ordinary ex-
penses Of that government TO devote 81
10000 or S50J0.000 TO much needed in
ternal improvements.
l is stated that The disturbance in
two provinces is due TO a bitter feud be
tween the mountain people and the people
Of the coast towns, brought about through
the oppression and fraud by the local
dealers on the coast practiced in the pur-
chase OF hemp from the rnountaineers.
The placing Of most of Samar and a por-
ton OF Leyte under exclusive military
control is being considered as necessary
in bringing resistance 10 an end.
The Secretary says he is very hopeful
that the prediction of Gov Smith and
Gen. Wood. that these disturbances will
soon be brought TO an end. VIII be real
lied, because il has a most important
bearing on the next step which it Is pro-
posed to take in the development in the
