performances Of Harvard teams in this sport.
IL will be admitted that Yale tands in a class

the year when the modern team work game
may be said TO have taken shape. Only two
colleges oan lay claim to a better average
record during this period than Harvard
namely Princeton and Pennsylvania, Let US
examine that claim:
Harvard beat Pennsylvania seven games to
six between 1898 and 1908 inclusive. In 1890.
1891 and 1892 Harvard was admittedly the
stronger, so that even ooncedinR that Penn

than Pennsylvania in ten out OF the seventeen
years under consideration.
Now as to Princeton. l think the following
record proves that each team has done better
than the other in eight years, while in one
year they were each beaten by the "a me score.

SMALL RACE WAR.
Three Negroes Killed and Four White
 Men Wounded.

Memphis. Tenn, June S.-A special from Yazoo City. Miss, says: As the result of a clash between negroes and whipped and four white men wounded. groes are dead. two others seriously whipped adn four white men wounded. The trouble originated when C. H. Kirk, a plantation owner approached a group of negro tenants to instruct them relative to some field work. One. Abe Johnson. cursed Kirk, who, be- cause of the number of his antagon- ists retreated toward the house to se- cure weapons. Johnson and his three sons went on a like mission. and be- fore Kirk reached the house he was overtaken, fired on and wounded by one of the younger negroes. Two of Kirk's brothers and J. T. Cheatam. who ran to his assistance were wound ed. They returned the fire, killing Green Johnson.
 The Johnsons then barricaded them selves in a cabin and defied arrest. The building was attacked and two of the negroes were killed and two others severely whipped. Late advices state that further trouble is anticipated.

PRESIDENT
 LAYS STONE
Masonic Ceremony at the
 National Capital
The TrOWel Gavel and Bible Used by Washington Elm plOyed.

Washington. June S. - President Roosevelt, as a member of the Blue Lodge of the Masonic fraternity. made an address at the laying of the corner stone this afternoon of the Masonic Temple. which is to be erected here at Thirteenth street and New York av- enue. A large crowd was present in cluding many prominent Masons. The gavel and trowel used were the same as those used by President Washing ton in laying the corner stone of the United States capitol in 17S3 and the Bible was the one used by Fredericks- burg Lodge No. 4, of Virginia, when President Washington became d mem Der of the fraternity. The president spread some cement under the corner stone with the trowel. afterward shak- ing hands with the mechanics super intending the work
 There were deposited in the corner stone steel portraits of President Washington and President Roosevelt. a fac simile of the Declaration of Inde- pendence and the Constitution of the United States. Jamestown Exposition medals and newspaper account of the death of President Garfield.
 The president spoke in part as fol- lows:
 Most worshipful grandmaster. brethren and friends: IL is a privilege and a pleasure to take part today in the dedication of the new temple. l am sure all of us must appreciate the courtesy of these brethren of other lodges, which has rendered it possible to use on this occasion the Bible upon which the great first citizen of this republic. Washington. took the oath when he was made d Mason and the implement which he used as Mason in laying the corner stone of the capitol. Surely there Is no place. no other city. in the United States where there should be as fine a Masonic temple as here. For it Is in a sense q national temple. where Masons from every ju- risdiction gather.
 'I have but a word to say to you. and that word must always be appro- priate in any Masonic meeting where the name of Washington is mentioned. I ask each brother that he shall re- member ever that there is upon him a peculiar obligation to show himself in every respect a good citizen. for af- ter all. the way in which one can do his duty by the ancient order to which he belongs is by reflecting credit upon that order by the way in which he per forms his duty as citizen.
 Let me also point out that it is well to not wait for times of unusual crisis before you become a good citi- zen. We all of us are aware of the temptation to think what q splendid and heroic part We would play if the times demanded it so, while at the same time it is not always easy to do the work of today. the humdrum duties of the moment"

A Public Statement Re-

 With West Point Officers.

West Point, June s.-Warnings that his friendship for General Leonard Wood would cost him his commission in the United States army, have been received repeatedly by Lieutenant Col onel George Ayres. according to a statement he made public today, in de- lending his wife from criticism by of ficers of the military academy, and supporting her suit to collect $100,O00 damages from those officers.
 Ayres said he had been tried on many charges and that he had been told many times that a part of the animOsity against him had been caus- ed by his friendship for General Wood. That officer himself. Ayres says. has for years warned him frequently to be careful
 The lieutenant colonel said he re- garded Wood as one of the best men in the country, and that he was one of the few officers who went to Gen eral Woods camp to congratulate him when he was promoted from colonel, to brigadier general.
 The controversy at West Point first attracted public attention at the East CT parade of cadets, when lieutenant Colonel Robert Howze, commandant of cadets, sent a sergeant to take away the cadets Overcoats which they had loaned girl spectators during a shower.
 The officers of the academy blamed Mrs. Ayres for the action of the cadets and for some public notice taken of the matter. Ayres. who then lived on the reservation resented if. and left West Point to reside at Highland Falls near bV.

New York.

The com mon assumption in the financial dis trict was. that a moderation or the policy of prosecution of corporations was to be inferred. The response in prices indicated that the Hartman group was regarded as most imme- diately involved in this decision. The poor bank statement was temporarily offset by the Washington reports. The close was firm and a little below the best prices
