FINAL DEBATE OF THE YEAR
NATIONAL UNIVERSITY LAW
STUDENTS HAVE DISCUSSION.
Municipal Ownership and Operation Of
Street Car Lines the Subject.
Negative Wins.

The question Of whether or not all the
municipalities of the United States should
own and operate the street car lines with.
in their corporate limits was decided to
the satisfaction of at least half of the
students of the National University Law
School last evening. The occasion was
the final debate OF the year.
A number of preparatory debates had
been held duNng the school year to select
the teams that competed last evening. The
speakers were Union w. Youngblood of
Indiana, Clinton r. Colvin of Virginia and
Claud I. Parker Of the District of Column
bia for the Affirmative, and Chester A.
Gwinn Of Missouri, Eiwood A Cobey Of
Maryland and William Clabaugh OF the
District Of Columbia for the negative,
The scene of the debate was the hall Of
the university building, and large au-
dience was present in addition to prac-
tically all the students of the school The
judges were Mr.. George W. MeMorrfs of
New York, Mr. Martin Decker, assistant Sec
rotary of the interstate commerce commits
sion, and Prof Charles Francis Carusi of
the university. The presiding officer was
Harold E.. Smith of New Hampshire.
For the Affirmative.
Mr.. Youngblood, for the Affirmative. said
that the, subject was really divided into
four sections, each of which was rea-
son in favor Of municipal ownership. There
is the corruption of municipal politics,
which was fostered by having the rail-
road lines in the hands Of private corpora
lions, the excessive fares charged in order
to pay big dividends on watered stock and
at the same time maintain huge corrup-
ton funds for further debauching city
politics, the INADEQUATE service performed
by the lines, all of which have poor cars
and too few. and the poor wages paid the
operatives.
how these conditions would naturally be
remedied by municipal ownership Of the
lines. The temptation to political cor
ruptfon would be removed by rendering 1t
no longer necessary or profitable. Service
could and would be improved when the
earnings of the company could be de-
voted to extension and improvements in
stead Of having the expenditures squeezed
to the uttermOSt penny to leave margin
for buying city aldermen and running
elections in the interests of the railroad
companies SO that wholesome restrictive
legislation would not be enacted. He
said that the larger problems Of housing
and distribution of the population is also
involved. and that municipal ownership
would do more than anything else toward
gested population Of the slum districts into
the healthier suburbs.
Mr.. Parker, in closing, gave instances
both at home and abroad where public
utilities are owned and profitably operated
by the cities. He said that the efficacy of
municipal ownership has been proved not
only In the case Of street railways, but Of
electric lighting and gas plants, of water
works and in a few cases abroad of power
plants. The best proof Of success is sue

demonstrated.

In Behalf Of Negative. Z
Mr.. Gwinn, for the negative, asserted
that there are a number of functions that
the city could properly perform for its in
habitants, but that ownership of street
railroads is not among them. He marked

of municipalities should cease, and declared
that so far from removing the temptation

ting the railroads into the hands of the
cities the temptation would be, vastly
increased and there would be a constant
and corrupt struggle for the reins of Cow
eminent In order to control these profitable
enterprises. s-.,.,g- ~ <
Following up the ethical and political as
pect of the case, Mr.. Cobey said that the
inexperience tof city politicians in the man
agement of street railway lines is enough
to condemn the scheme without further
discussion. He pointed out that the man
agement of street railways was a business
that requires the highest business and tecE
MICA ttrafning. and declared that this soH
of genius cannot be bought for the prioa
that municipalities would be willing to nav
for, it,. a. 1.-g1-I-'
Mr.. Clabaugh, also for the negative said
the fnexperience of city officials in streea
railway management would breed more I'M
emciency than IS now complained of as tile
result OF private ownership. He added that
the surest way to. wreck the service and
bring 1t into more disrepute with citizens
than now would be to- turn out the ex-
perlenced officials that manage ii in favor

Birthday of German Prince.

Berlin, Jan. 26.-Prince Augustus
William, fourth son of the emperor,
whose engagement was recently an
1ounced, is today celebrating his
twentieth birthday. The prince, now
a student at Bonn, was born January
26, 1887. He is the most popular and
democratic of the German princes, an
open admirer of the scholarly Herr
Bebel, the leader of the Social Demo
cratic party and the chief political en-
envy Of the kaiser, and has more than
once given utterance to the most radi-
cal Socialistic ideas. He is not only
ility, but possesses scholarly attain
ments equalled by none of his prince
ly brothers, speaking six languages
fuently. His radicalism, however, is
a thorn in the side of Emperor Will
liam, who hoped to effect a cure thru
the marriage of the prince to the
strong-minded young Princess Alex
andra Victoria of Schelswig-Holstein-
MISUNDERSTANDING. 1t was at
one time the intention of the kaiser
to send Prince Augustus to America
to complete his education, but this
plan has been abandoned. 1t is stat

Dreadnaueht is Coming.

London, Jan. 26.-The famous Brit
ish ~battleship D~readnaught, the larg-
est fighting machine af1oat, is SEIZED
uled to leave Gibraltar today for Trini
dad. 1t will cruise in West Indian wat
ers at the time that the Atlantic
squadron of Admiral Evans is in that
vicinity, thus affording the American
naval officers an opportunity to see
the mammoth vessel. The object of
the cruise is to test the machinery
of the Atlantic season and under the
most adverse conditions.
Three additional ships of the Dread
naught class are now being built and
will be completed within two years.
The Bellerophon is in course OF
construction at the Portsmouth
yards, the Temereire at Davenport &
the Superb at Elswick. Eacn of those
vessels, Like the Dreadnaught, will
have ten 12-inch guns and will form
the most formidable squadron af1oat.
Great precautions are being taken at
the shipyards to prevent strangers
from obtaining even a glimpse of the
construction work. The building
ships are obscured with close wire net
ting to prevent the taking of pnoto-
graphs and the dockyard police pa
troll the vicinity of the shipyards night
and day.
The of the British fleet
will take place next month off the
coast of Portugal and will be the
most elaborate ever neld in European
waters. The strength of England as
a naval power will be fittingly illus
trated, as more than sixty battleships
cruisers and other vessels will be as
sembled. This is almost as many as
the total of effective vessels of the
French and German navies combined.
The Atlantic, Mediterranean and chan
ael squadrons viii participate in tae

this opinion. Squires the magnificent

Some three years ago Squires was

castle. wholly unknown to fame and
fortune. To-day ne is the heavy
weight champion of Australia. No
one has yet appeared who could stand
before him for a moment. A little
preliminary feinting, a terrible swing
of brawny fist, and all is over.
Prior to taking up the career of
a pugilist, Squires varied the mono
tony of digging coal by preaching So
cialism and teaching a Sunday school.
He was more familiar with the scrip
lures and philosophy of Karl Marx
than the records of the prize ring.
Naturally of p~eaceable disposition, he
had never engaged in any fight or
brawl. At that time anyone referring
to Squires as a fighter would have
been greeted with derision.
His discovery was an accident. One
night there came to Newcastle a trav

heavy weight champion of Australia.
This fellow made a boastful challenge

which women are allowed to enter.
The applicants are required to give
the names of their prospective hus-
bands and to make affidavit that an
engagement of marriage exists. This
will be confirmed by the Commission
