CHICAGO, April 13.--All athletic relations
between the University OF Michigan and
the other colleges composing the western
athletic college conference were severed
today because of the indisposition of Michi-
gan to observe the rules of the conference.
1t was insisted by the other members Of
the big Nine" that the rules adopted
at the close of the foot ball season of
1895 limiting the playing time of all athletes
to three years and the number OF foot ball
games to FIVE, should be observed by

Notes OF the Game.


Graham tried to steal third. but was
caught in the act.
WEIGH surprised himself by hitting the
southpRw for a double.
Holland, manager and captain OF the
Wichita team, played right field for Denver
in 1900
The fans had considerable fun with Nick,
the catcher OF the Jayhawkers. He was
not able to hold third strike.
Aubrey has not recovered his batting
form since his long walk from Mexico and
has made but two hits since the season
opened
Belden is making a hit with the fans
by his style at the plate. He has the posi-
ton Of hitter and not only that but he
hits the ball.
Hetling made three hits Of the five which
were made by Wichita. This player was
tipped of TO Pa last fall and he came
Wltnln an ace OF drafting him, but took
Austin instead. The fans can Judge be-
tween them this afternoon.
A neat fight is on between White and
Graham for the regular intield position with
the Rourke family. Some are laying
wagers that White will beat the Grand
Island boy out and some are willing to
bet the other way. Graham has made the
better impression with the stick 20 date.

SEASONING TELEPHONE POLES.
The Government and the Companies
Are Both Experimenting.

The Government and the Companies
Are Both Experimenting.
The scarcity of timber suitable for
telephone and telegraph poles has of
late assumed serious proportions, says
the American Telephone Journal.
Latest reports of the census office
show that there were in operation in
1902 approximately 100000 miles Of
pole line. Subsequent additions, how
ever. together with certain railroad
pole lines not reported, would enlarge
this figure. 1t is safe to assume that
there are in operation at present fully
100000 miles of line. The average
line contains about forty poles mile,
SO that there are approximately 3d.
100000 poles in use.
Assuming that the average life of a
pole is twelve years, it follows that for
the maintenance of the lines now in
operation there are needed each year
more than 2,650,000 poles. Such an
enormous demand must soon deplete
the available supply. This is fully rec
ognized by the different companies.
The American Telephone and Tele-
graph company, in cooperation with
the United States forestry bureau, has
been carrying on elaborate expert
ments to determine the best means
of prolonging the life of poles.
These experiments show that sea
soned timber in contact with the
ground will outlast unseasoned, and
that dry wood is more receptive Of
preservative fluids than green wood.
Experiment stations were establish
ed at Dover, n. j.. Thorndale, Pa;
Pisgah, n. c., and Wilmington, N. G.
AS part of the terms of cooperation
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company supplied a fixed num-
Der of poles each month.

knowledge might influence the baronet
in the arguments he might propose.
So he determined to get his financial
. arrangements through first, and then
reconsider the question of Mays posi-
ton
AS he left the solicitors Office with
the full knowledge that there was not
likely to be any difficulty in obtaining
funds, he felt that the time had come
to make up his mind about his wife.
He saw that she was an element of
danger.
1t was Hanks business to guard him
against danger Therefore Mr.. Hank
must be informed of the principal one
his wife.
That was now Mark Buckingham S
only trouble. He saw himself with
money at his command-money about
which there would never be any I'M
certainty. A life of ease and pleasure
lay before him. The possibilities of
enjoyment were such as. he had never
dreamed of in his most optimistic mo-
ments.
In the silence of his cell, when he
thought about the future, he had had
no delusions.
He felt that his last chance of con-
quering fortune honestly had gone.
The prison faint was upon him,
and he was not likely to get rid of it.
He supposed that he would, when
his time was up, have to live by his
wits, and the best that he could hope
for was that his wits would keep him
making a second acquaintance with
the dull, dead life of the brothers of
the Broad Arrow
But now his circumstances were en-
tirely changed. The outlook was de-
cidedly promising. He was prepared
to sacrifice any one who might make
it less so. 1t was certainly no part of
his program to let his wife know that
he was now man of means and a
person of social consideration.
At few minutes to Mr.. Bertram
Hank, the eminent private detective,
strolled up Langham Place in the di-
rectiOn Of the great hotel at which a
highly-valued client had taken up his
temporary quarters.
Mr.. Hank having satisfied himself
the previous evening that there had
been no 'shadowing" of his client by
any of his professional brethren who
were officially attached to the organ
ization of which he had at one time
been a member, felt no necessity for
cautious observation, and gave himself
up to meditation

John Poindexter Doesn't Think Much

It is the opinion Of John PoindeXter,
as expressed in an article in the cur
rent Harper's Weekly, "The Menace
of Japan" that if proper understand
ing mot alliance) could be reached
between America and certain other
countries, Japan could no longer
figure as the danger spot of interna-
tional peace which was necessary ev-
cry day to paint over with humiliat-
ing coat of the softest soap"
Sentimental alliances" amuse the
author, and he says that no Western
power could get any effective assist
ance from Japan in case of trouble in
the West; whereas, the West might
very reasonably be called upon to fur
nish practical assistance in case Of
trouble out here, since they have a
certain amount of force here.
''On the other hand, no thinking man
believes for one moment that either
England or France intends to make
good the windy sentiment of their
written alliances by lending military
force to Japan as against any Western
power with which she may wish to
embroil herself
